BaADLAUGH AND THE HOUSE OF
CoMMOKs.

The House of Commons has gotitself into
a very difficult position in the Bradlaugh
matter. 1t has unseated him on no other
ground than his disbelief in personal
God. That is to say it has declared him
incompetent to legislate for the people of
England, or to guard their material inter-
ests. because he does not believe in doc
trine which is utterly incapable of proof,
and concerning which probably one-third
at least of the House has no more positive
belief than Mr. Bradlaugh. This is curl
Gus condition of things in the House of
Commons towards the end of the nineteenth
century, and it is state of things which
cannot be maintained, because it is in
manifest contradiction to the spirit of
the age. The mere fact that the majority
of the House voted to refuse to
allow Mr.. Bradlaugh to make an at
firmatiQn, though similar concession has
been several times made without any
objection, gives a peculiar aspect of
persecution to the affair, and emphasizes
its unintelligent bigotry. The absurdlty
of the case is, however, at least as con-
spicuous as its barbausm. These sober
Englishmen have taken the position that
certain religious belief is necessary to the
proper and faithful transaction of the bust
ness of Parliament. Now if such test
had been applied to any Parliament that
has sat during the past half century, many
of its brightest ornaments would have been
turned out. John Stuart Mill, if COM
PEELED to declare himself on this question,
would certainly have been as unable as
Bradlaugh to subscribe to the God OF
Christianity, and he would have had
large following in his exile. Bat what has
the religious belief of any member of Par
lament to do with his parliamentary du-
ties? Is religion the standard by which
governments are guided and cont oiled! Is
not all this fuss about an oath in fact a
ridiculous and contemplate piece of bar
barism and fetishism? And it is one of
these blunders which have been said to be
worse than crime, for it must inevitably
give particular consequence to Bradlaugh's
atheism, and make him popular idol
because of his skepticism. Thus the conse-
quence will be to give an unnatural signiti-
canoe to this point, and as it were to make
an issue of Atheism, eminently calculated
to iniure religion For the insistance of
the House upon the orthodox doctrine will
of course lead to fresh challenges of that
doctrine. Those who have undertaken to
exclude man from Parliament because he
does not believe in God, will be called
upon to stand forth and give their grounds
for affecting assurance of the existence of
such being. And since no man can adj
duce any satisfactory arguments on that
proposition, but must beg the question be-
fore he can establish anything, the result
must be to strengthen Bradlaugh's posi-
ton, and to-weaken that of his orthodox
antagonists 1t is in fact most rash and
impolitic challenge to orthodoxy, and those
who have made it will regret their pre-
cipitancy before the end is reached.

A WARNING VOICE.

In our local columns this morning ap-
pears an interesting account of the expe-
rience OF one of our citizens in the study
of forest growth in California. To one
point he makes we desire to direct espe-
cial attention wherein he urges that
steps be taken to save the evergreen
growth of the State from extinction. This
is subject upon which we have dwelt
with great urgency, and at length, for
years. Almost alone the RECORD. UNION
has raised its voice in warning of the inev-
liable and speedy results which must fol-
low the reckless destruction of our timber
growth. The remarks of Mr.. Klink, else
where reported, again bring the subject to
public consideration. Ii the people shall
send up to the capital next winter a body
of legislators as apathetic on this subject
as those which have preceded it, Califor-
mans will deserve to have their hills de-
nuded, their plains made scorching deserts
and their climate resolved into perpetual
misery-three things which will inevitably
follow the destruction of the young timber

THS HOT WAVE.

The hot wave at the East seems to have
settled into permanency, and, unlike the
heat waves Of most previous years, refuses
to roll on. The present scorching term has
had few parallels in the climatic annals Of
this country. A calm satisfaction with
their lot should possess Calfornians, now
reveling in the delights of a soft yet bracing
atmosphere, when they rember that the
heat on the other side of the continent is
so intense it affected even the case hard
ened effrontery Of Kearney, and reduced
his brazen cheek to such state that he
was compelled to forego one OF his charac-
tcristic harangues, and enabled the people
of Chicago to find some consolation even
in the midst OF their heated agony. We
may congratulate ourselves that in the
greatest heat known to our valleys no such
sultry and depressing tropic waves are ex-
perienced, and that we are strangers to
those torrid effects which are manifest in
the suppression of labor and the prostra-
ton OF the people before the heat of the

A CONFESSED CASE.

The Antioch Ledgcr, referring to Judge
Freedoms sketch of inner life at the State
Prison, San Quentin, says: "lffacts have
been stated, a grea. reformation is de-
"sirable, as at present it Is evidently little
else than a school OF crime and an easy,
"cozy home for those who are criminally
disposed" 1t is in point to call atten.
ton to the fact that though more than a
reasonable time has elapsed, no reply has
been made to the statements of Judge
Freedom, and therefore the facts stated ="
may be taken as confessed. More than
this, the RECORD UNION intensified the
charges of the Judge, and added to them
positive allegations concerning which there
could be no mistake, and to these there
has been no answer. The Ledger may
withdraw the elf, assume that the case
is confessed, and unite in the demand tor
penal reform.

A QUESTION OF Expense.

1t must be conceded that the educational
advantages for the sexes are now quite
equal, and the only remaining question is ::
how can our girls be educated as chespIy
as our boys. The cost of academy life for
the young woman is sill disproportionately
greater than for the young man The diff
ference in the expense is found largely in
dress, and this brings to the front the old
suggestion of which Dr. Holland was so
ardent an advocate, and which has been
adopted in not few collegiate schools
the wearing of uniform by the females
By this rich and poor are placed on Z Level
as to dress, and the question OF expense
becomes much less prominent. Educators
are, we observe, reviving this subject, and
it is to be hoped that they will succeed in
establishing the reform in every boarding
and academic school in the land.

The Oregon Way.

A certain young man in Oregon fell in
love with a beautiful young lady resid-
ing near Port Townsend. His passion
being promptly reciproca;ed, marriage
was soon proposed but the young lady's
parents would have none Of this. The
father and belligerent uncle threat
ened to do the young Romeo serious per-
sonai injury in case his attentions to his
fiancee we're continued, and forbade him
ever again entering the premises. The
young lady is represented as having
been bitterly prosecuted On Occount of
her refusal to circumference the dis
carded sutton. The young man becom-
ing aware of this fact, determined at
once to cOnsumate the nuptials. Ac-
cordingly, procuring a license and the
services of the necessarily constituted
authority, and withal a good Winches-
ter rifle, he repaired at once to the abode
of the young woman's parents. En-
cOunterlng the father and the irate
uncle in the yard, he babe them Glands
off," declaring that they had threatened
to do him personal injury and that in
the eyes of the law he would be justified
in doing serious execution with his rife
in case they attempted to execute them,
and right there, before the gaze of the
two astonished belligerents, with one eve
fixed on them, the other on the fair one
by his side, and with one hand clutching
his rifle and the other grasping that Of
his affianced, the nuptial knot was tied,
when the happy couple departed.

Hottest SPOT on Earth.

One of the hottest regions on the
earth is along the Persian Gulf, where
little or NO rain falls. At Bahrin the
arid shore has no fresh water, yet q com.
paratively numerous population con.
trive to live there, thanks to the copious
springs which break forth from the bot.
tom of the sea. The fresh water is rot
by diving. The diver, sitting in his
boat, winds great goatskin bag around
his left arm, the hand grasping its
mouth; then takes in his right hand a
heavy stone to which is attached a strong
line, and thus equipped he plunges in
and quickly reaches the bottom. In.
.tantly opening the bag over the strong
Jet OF fresh water, he springs up the as.
cending current at the same time
closing the bag, and is helped aboard.
The stone is then hauled up, and the
diver, after taking breath, plunges
again. The source of the copious sub
marine springs is thought to be in the
green bills of Osman, some five OF six
hundred miles distant.

A. Slap that Was Paid for.

Rude fun ought to cost the maker
something-and it generally does. In
this case the offender gets of easier than
he had any right to expect, after his in.
excusxble assault. Says the Cape Ann
Advertiser:
Not many months ago q party of Bos-
ton gentlemen came to this city and
went on fishing party. Some of them
got pretty jolly, one in particular, who,
selling one of the Goldfish which they
had caught, walked up the wharf. He
soon espied veteran fisherman, who
was saving wood, and under the impulse
of the moment fetched him a whack
across the face, with the Goldfish.
In q moment he was sobered. The
generous impulse of a noble heart throb-
bed in his bosom. He felt that he had
done a mean, ungentlemanly act, and
ne meant to atone for it then and
there.
Taking out ten-dollar bill, he prof.
fered it to the veteran, saying:
accept this AMI let it wipe out anv
recollections of the cowardly blow I
struck you, Is l did not mean to do it
and am very sorry for it."
The veteran took the bill, his face
beaming with mingled establishment and
delight, and making q. bow. remarked:
See here, stranger, you can wipe
me over the face all day long with a
Goldfish, at ten dollars q lickI l don't
bear you . mite of ill-will, I don't. I
rather like your style. When are you
coming AGAIN.
And that settled it. It was lucky for
the gay joker that his victim was of
thick material enough to take money
