would cause his removal ard create a
vacancy. Mr.. Dodge was enc of the judges
before whom the case was tried. He found
against the Director. A vacancy followed.
MIR. Dodge consented to fill the vacancy
created by his own Judicial conclusion.
We do not say that the prospective vacancy
and the prospective occupancy of the place
influenced Mr.. Dodge's judgment. We do
not know this to be true, and therefore we
have no right to make the allegation But
we have right to make reasonable deduc-
ton from ascertained facts, and we deduce
from the facts of this case 4 lack of that
high constituencies On the part of Mr. Dodge
which should have made him repel the
prefer of the position as highly calculated
to compromise him in the minds Of honora-
Bile men. The acceptance Of the vacant
position by one of the judges by whose
Judgment vacancy was oecasioned, was
thing of most questionable taste on the
part of both the President. who made the
nomination, and the judge who acceptedit it.

a TRANSPARENT DEVICE.

The Board OF Supervisors made great
show of limiting the attorneys fees in the
proposed mining suits, but failed to limit
or propose to restrict the number of suits
to be brought. The fee for single suit is
to be fixed and then let the indefniteness
reside in the number of suits to be
brought. There is also uneasiness mani
tested lest the suits begun by other parties
shoald settle the whole matter before those
proposed to be brought by this county can
be heard, and thus not cent be
made out Of the matter by anyone.
Il has all of sudden become extremely
important that all the mines running tail
ings into the American and Costumes
rivers should be enjoiued. Mining has
been prosecuted steadily for over quarter
Of century, but it is now very important
that it should stop. The question arises,
Is it designed to obtain temporary injunc.
tions, and then hinder and delay the hear
ing of cases? Ifso, then It is questionable
whether when the county is embarked
upon this sea Of litigation We shall see the
end of it in ten years. The next step on the
programme is to fix fee for single case,
and then delay action for a time, hoping
for modification Of pablic attention.
Then bring an indefinite number of suits
so as to accomplish by indirection what
has been defeated By the pressure of pub
lie sentiment

TIE SAN FRANCISCO ELECTION.


The municipal election of the city and
county of San Francisco resulted in the
election of the candidates on the Repubi-
can ticket by majorities ranging from 500
to 600. While local issues had much TO
do with the result, it cannot be denied
that it IS in very great measure n party
success. This is true for two substantial
reasons. In the first place political VIC
tories inspire party with confidence and
courage, and in the second place the con.
troll of the municipal government is not
without political value in succeeding cleo
TONS Those who are fond OF forecasting
the future by saying this or that party
viii certainly sweep the State at the COM
ing election, will do well to study the sig
niicance Of this San Francisco election.
For years it has been claimed that San
Francisco was naturally Democratic that
when united with the workingmen the
party was assured of success. In the re-
cent election the politics of the case were
as straight as may reasonably be hoped for
in city election, and the success of the
Republican ticket is very complete.

THE PRESIDENT.

a sudden change has taken place n the
physical condition of the wounded Presi-
dent. He is reported as decidedly better,
and one Of his physicians goes so far as to
pronounce him convalsscent. While this
is probably an exaggeration, growing out of
the exuberance of feeling over his marked
improvement, it is certain that there is now
more reason to look for his recovery than
at any time since the relapse some weeks
ago. At the request of the President three
of the six physicians in charge have with
drawn, evidently because the patient feels
that he will experience relief from a smaller
number of attendants about him, aud not
because Of any lack OF faith in their ability.

TaE BEaINEIyG OF BRIaAaDAog.

Our dispatches this morning contain an
account OF another train robbery in Mis-
souri. This time the brigands robbed the
passengers, making NEST thorough work of
it. These instances prove that it is as
easy TO rob a train as stage coach, and
by far more profitable. We regard these
instances as the beginning Of q brigandage
in America, which will demand the most
vigorous measures to suppress. The exist
ence of brigandago in Mexico was for
long time regarded as an obstacle to rail
road building and operation. Butt would
appear that the West is becoming rapidly
Mexicanized. Travel will become unsafe,
and nothing short of the most vigorous
measures will have any eject. the Gov.
ernment must stamp this incipient brig
sadage cut at once.

THE FOLSOM PRISON.

The Prison Directory OF California had
neither the intelligence to perceive nor the
executive capacity to administer the Fol.
som Prison according to the original ideas
which influenced the establishment Of that
institution. There is no reason why that
prison should not become in very short
time fully selfsustaining. Further than
this there IS no adequate reason why the
idle labor already available there shonld
not be so directed as to develop the Vast
mechanical power of the American river at
that point and make the prison and the
town of Folsom the seat of the largest
manufacturing interest in the State The
jute mills at San Quentin are to be
run by steam, which will cost for
fuel alone not less than Sll, 000
per annum. This estimate is based upon
calculations allowing but 10 cents per day
for each one horsepower, and but 200
horse power as the maximum motive power
required for the mills. This is nearly
81 900 a month. If the Directory had
seized upon the opportunity offered in the
contracts now existing between the Ma
toma Water and Mining Company and H.
G. Livermore and the State, they could
even by this tina have developed water
power at Folsom equal to nearly 500 horse
power. thus saving perpetual expense and
greatly enhanced the probabilities of the
ultimate success of that enterprise. The
freight on tie law material is not per-
cepGbly greater than The freight on the
manufactured sacks, and as the sacks
are used in the Sacramento and
San Joaquin valleys, the freight element
is eliminated from the consideration. I'm
der 4 management competent to direct the
affairs of this prison full and complete
experiment Of the value Ct prison labor in
dressing stone could be made. Prison Ia
Dor to the value of S2S2, 600 is already
contracted to responsible parties. Thus
the cost and risk of the experimental Pc
Rod is provided for at the expense of other
parties than the State. There is only too
much reason to believe, however, that
nothing will be done. a year from this
date could convert the Folsom Prison from
its present lifeless inanition to busy hive
of industry, advantageous both from re-
formatory and pecupiary point of view.
It requires no gift of prophecy to
predict with confidence that nothing
viii be done. The existing Direct
DRY has neither the capacity nor
the energy to do anything III the premises.
Folsom VIII, under the ideas now con-
trolling the penal policy of this State,
remain central jail FOR the forcible deten-
ton of prisoners. The existing contracts
will lapse and be forgotten, and the people
will not be permitted to know what might
have been accomplished had the original
ideas upon which the institution was found
ed been understood and carried out.

THE MICHIGAN DISASTERS.

The news from Michigan this morning is
truly appalling. Fully one thousand lives
are said to have been lost by the destruc.
tive fires now raging in the forests of that
State. The forests on the uplands are
chiefly OF oak, beach and birch, but in the
lowlands tamarack predominates. The
fires are spreading, consuming houses,
barns. fences and villages. The loss by
drought and fire at the East is becoming
more serious daily.

He says that three or four miles from hide

with stick in the top and red flag upon it,
and behind the pole stood the leader Of the
robbers, who, when the train stopped, said ::

to open the safe. They we're eDraged at not

they beat him with their revolvers fearfully.
They then marched up to the coaches and

The leader said, "Now get back there. We
