reasons for what they are doing, and
whose proceedings, on. their fa,e are
plainly suspicious.
The Regents have pursued most un-
fortunate course for the interests of the
University, in fact. They refused to take
into their confidence those who could have
helped and indicated them, and now they
complain of the natural results of their
own obstinate reticence. They have shown
themselves to be very poor managers, and
they have no right to find fault with any
one, even though the most serious mis-
understandings may have arisen. There
is only one infallible method of avoiding
misconstruction, and that is to tell the
real truth, and all the truth, at all times.
Had the Regents done this instead OF
shutting themselves up and affecting a
mystery about their intentions. they would
not have entangled themselves in the
difficulties which now threaten to defeat
all attempts at rehabilitating the Univer-
sity. Let us hope that experience will
teach them better methods for the future.

GRANTS ATTITUDE.

General Grant has been SO completely
spoiled by sycophants that he has lost his
head. His recent coarse abuse of Presi-
dent Garfield, of Secretary Blaine, of all
who are opposed to his former !" machine"
friends, indicates an inability to realize
his true situation which would be amusing
if it were not painful. He is not only
doing his friends great deal Of harm by
his imprudent and undignifed utterances,
but he is running his own reputation, and
that is much more serious matter. That
reputation was SO great that it withstood
successfully the damaging effects of his two
Presidential terms. But this was princi-
paly because he kept silence at that time.
1t is now apparent that if he had not held
his tongue when he was President he never
could have been elected the second time.
As it is, little more indecency and folly
of the current kind will disillusionize every
body regarding him.
Sacramento daily record-union. [volume] (Sacramento [Calif.]) 1875-1891, 1881-06-25

that his antagonist is being held securely
by some of his friends. 1t is at such
moments that the judicious combatant
shrieks most wildly to be allowed to get
at the liver and lights of his enemy, and
that he rends the air with rhetorical
declarations as to the bleodthirstiness OF
his intentions. Had Brady and Co. showed
anything like the same readiness for trial
before the Government asked tor a post
ponement, the effect OF their little
melodramatic trick would have been
much better, however. AS it is, the
country will be apt to put the two things
together. and to deduee from the con.
junction an opinion not altogether com.
phmentary to the sincerity and plain-deal.
ing OF Brady and Co. 1t will also, per.
haps, be doubted whether, when Septem-
Der comes, these gentlemen, who are at
present pining so pitiably for the oppor
tunity to indicate themselves, will be
half as forward as they are to-day.

polygamy, it is proper to point out that
polygamy never has been and is not now
by any means general custom among the
Mormons. The fact is that less than ten
per cent. of them have more than one wife,
and that their natural increase is very lit.
tie greater, if it is at all greater, than that
of homogeneous people. If therefore we
have nothing to apprehend from them until
they have attained enormous numbers
through polygamy. we may possess our
souls in peace for two or three hundred
years at least, and by that time it will
matter very little how fast they grow. But
the whole Boston story is of the kind
which it has been customary to tell to the
marines, in nautical parlance, and we are
really surprised that so obviously NONSENSE
cal yarn should have been sent across
the continent as though it were state
ment of undoubted fact, and Of the first

daily paper. E2eh part contains eight pages, thus
each week sixteen pages of matter are given to the
SUBSCRIBER for 81 30 per year, mailed, postage
prepaid, to any address 1t has special value for
Che family, the business Office, the shop the

about most of them. Chautauqua Circles,
and Shakespeare and Goethe and Dante
and Hegel Clubs, are good in conception,
but we have not much faith in the depth
or permanence of a culture which is ae-
quired by spasmodic application, and which
is not the outcome of genuinely intel
lectual life. They may lead to the latter,
and this is perhaps their chief service.
But it is dangerous to take them for evil
dences of real and permanent intellectual
progress.
Self-culture demands an amount of hard
and serious work which very few who
have gone through the current superficial
educational course have the courage
for. There is no mental climbing to be
done without training, and unhappily
that most indispensable preliminary is
wanting among US. We have plenty of
energy. plenty of ambition, and plenty of
patience. But the defective nature of the
initial teaching puts our young men and
women at great disadvantage, and in
majority of cases indisposes them to any
further intellectual exertion. And thus it
is that despite the appearances of broad
and quite general mental progress, the real
advance is very limited, and the masses
remain in torpid and apathetic condition.
- bofora Tn ehorh If IT he necessary tn
the well. being and permanence of demo-
cratic government that a general intelli-
gence and quickness of apprehension should
be diffused among the whole population,
then II must be realized that hitherto
the experiments in that direction have
been attended with bat comparatively
small measure of success, and that the
problem OF the advancement of the people
is yet virtually unsolved. The great ques-
tions of the age are really discussed by a
very narrow circle. Our literature occu-
pies very small area, taking the whole
field into account. Journalism does not
touch more than half the people, directly
or indirectly. And there remains a large
element of political power which is unin-
Auenced by reason, unswayed by intelli-
gence, unguarded by culture, but open to
all tire sinister and capricious influences
which.are liable to affect Ignorance, under
whatever conditions found.

THE PRISON INVESTIGATION.

At meeting of the Board of State
Prison Directors at San Quentin on
Thursday, Warden Ames stated that many
serious charges had been made in the
press against the management OF the
prison, and requested an investigation.
The Board then passed resolutions to the
effect tnat a committee of three be ap-
pointed to ask Governor Perkins to cause
the prison management to be thoroughly
investigated, and also to appoint an expert
to examine the books, records and accounts
of the institution. The Governor, it is
understood, viii forthwith appoint Com
nittee of Investigation, and thorough
inquiry will be made into the charges pre-.
ferred against the management, and pre-
sumably into the general condition of the
PRISON, and the opportunities for reform
presented by the existing situstio1.

ToMBsroNE's FIERY BAPTISM.

Tombstone, Arizona, has been burned
down, but as this is only its first conha-
grafton of Importance old California pio-
neers laugh at it, and observe that the
Tombstoners must wait until they have
been burned out five or six times if they
want to know how the old San Franciscans
used to feel. 1t seems to be necessary
to frontier town that they should OCCASION
ally be destroyed, for they grow more sub
stantial every time they are rebuilt, and
gradually they become SO solid that they
cannot be swept away as before. Tomb
stone will have forgotten this fire year
hence. and will be more fourishing than
ever, if the mines hold out well. 1t is
fortunate that there was no loss Of life as
well as destruction Of property. In the
old San Francisco fires many poor fellow
found a dreadful death, and more than were
generally reckoned at the time, probably,
for nobody in those days could afford TO
spend much time in gathering statistics,
especially mortuary ones.

THE GREAT EASTERN.

1t is announced that the Great Eastern
is for sale. Where she has been, or what
doing for several years, we do not know,
but more unlucky vessel surely never was
built She ruined the original projectors
of her before she was launched. When
the time for launching her came she stuck
upon the ways, and it cost 5000, 900 more
to get her afoat. When she was afoat
it was discovered that there was only one
harbor in the United Kingdom which she
could enter With a cargo, and that that
harbor milford Haven) was far away from
all the business centers. Then there
were several accidents on board of her.
First she burst her steam jacket, and killed
and wounded two or three score of people
Then she rolled go awfully that on
one occasion she literally churned all
the passengers baggage into sort of paste,
with obviously frightful results to the VIC
tins. She was so much too big for trade
that it has never grown up to her. At
intervals suggestions have been made that
she should be fitted up for this or that new
kind of transportation, but though a mint
of money has been spent upon such
arrangements none of them have answered,
and now, after trying and failing in every
thing, the great steamer is to be sold.
Who will OF can afford to buy her, how
ever, is pertinent question. She is
useless as carrier, if experience is worth
anything, and there remains only the des
perate chance that some ingenious Yankee
may purchase hsr on speculation, and sue
coed in inventing use for her.
