THE ACIIoI OF The BOARD OF fU-
PFRVTSORS.

The Board of Supervisors yesterday
proved its subserviency to prearranged
programme by refusing to adopt the prac.
teal and reasonable suggestion of the Dis
trict Attorney concerning the suit brought
by the county against a hydraulic mining
company. The District Attorney proposed
TO bring single suit IN the name of the
people against a mining corporation, to
test the question of the legal right of min
ing companies to pollute the streams and
otherwise inhict injury by the deposit OF
tailings in the river channels. He proposed
TO employ able assistant counsel by and
with the advice and consent of the Board
OF Supervisors, and informed the Board
that the suits could be brought and carried
to Judicial conclusion for the single fee of
$1,000. The cost and vexation of litiga-
ton is proverbial Particularly is it costly
to 4 municipal corporation to prosecute or
defend lawsuit. There are reasons for
grave apprehension that the county is to be
involved IN costly litigation, from which it
viii not be able to extricate itself without
mourning costs amounting to indefinite
thousands The proposition OF the Dis
trict Attorney guarded one element of cost
by definite limit upon the fees to be paid
attorneys. The refusal of the Board of
Supervisors plainly indicates the fixed de-
termination OF the majority of the Board
to follow the programme originally mapped
ont by It, and involve the county in ruin
GUS litigation. The proposition OF the
District Attorney met the almost universal
appreciation Of this public, and if the
Board had possessed proper regard
for the rights, interests and wishes
of their constituencies they would
have adopted it. This action should
not be accepted by the public as final.
The case is one demanding the serious con-
sideration OF every taxpayer. A legal de-
termination by a single action ia jast as
good as the decisions upon hundred suits
at law all raising the same issue That
case should be urged TO conclusion at
once, and every element OF reckless extrav-
agance should be guarded fro1s the first.
We say now that any other plan than that
proposed by the District Attorney means
an indefinite number of suits and unmeas-
ured costs and ices. Neither multiplicity
of suits nor extravagant fees are neees-
sary in the case. Other suits now
pending may test the legal principles
long before the suit brought by this county
can be tried. The issue brings the Board
of Supervisors and the public face to face.
The public demands that no unnecessary
suits shall be brought that no indefinite
liability shall be incurred that no extrav-
agant fees shall be paid. The treasury is
bankrupt, taxes are increasing, undis-
charged obligations against the county are
augmenting and in every respect the
county finances are in most demoralized
condition. Upon a situation like this to
plunge the county into costly litigation is
an act of gross INSTRUMENTATION. This is
distinctly the business OF the public, and
should receive at once the most pronounced
public attention.

THE QUESTION OF INABILITY.

The removal of the President from the
national capital gives additional promi-
nence to the question of his inability to
discharge the functions CT his great Office.
As matter of fact an absolute inability
does exist and has existed. The absent
factor in the case is the want OF legal au-
thority to declare officially or judieially
the existence of an inability within the
meaning of the Constitution. For seventy
days the nation has been without
President. Yet the functions OF the
National Government have been per.
formed without jar or friction. We are
realizing government pro TEN. by a selected
ministry. This can last only while no
emergencies arise dividing the counsels of
the Cabinet. But should exigencies arise
creating division and disagreement in the
Cabinet then the imperative need of an
come apparent. 1t is clearly the temper
Of public opinion that until such exigeucy
arises the existing situation shall be
maintained. SO long as there exists no
great emergency calling Enthusiastically for
the interposition of chief executive the
people will insist that the Government
through departmental heads shall con-
tinue. Should the inability continue until
after the assembling of Congress all this
viii at once be changed No legislative
act can be constitutionally passed until it
has received either the passive or affirma.
tive consent of the President. To per.
NIT Cabinet not chosen by the people
to exercise function OF such grave
import would be practical revolution OF
our form of Government. just now and
for many months to come the heart OF the
nation, great with sympathy and pity for
the noble sufferer, cannot bear the thought
of inhicting additional pain by the slight
est insistence upon the enforcement of
constitutional provisions. Our feelings of
common humanity assert their supremacy
over legal and political considerations, and
we forget the Chief Executive In witness
ing the mortal suffering of fellow man.
But emergencies can arise in the vicis.
situdes of national life wherein in.
Sacramento daily record-union. [volume] (Sacramento [Calif.]) 1875-1891, 1881-09-08

dividual suffering and individual life and
interests would become subordinate con-
siderations as compared with the high.
est public good. No such exigency has yet
arisen and none such is likely to arise be-
fore the meeting of Congress. The sug-
gestions of Senator voorhees,, of Indiana,
TO the effect that Congress can create
a commission to officially determine
whether or not constitutional inability
exists, is iudicious and timely. This
is the first instance in century
wherein the problem of Presidential in
liability" has presented itself for solu-
ton. In this first case precedent should not
be established by precipitous action and if
by delay the best we hope for or the
worst we fear shall obviate the necessity of
establishing any precedent whatever, the
adjustment of future kindred emergencies
will not be fettered by inapplicable pre-
cedent, a precedent in law once estab-
lished for cases of this kind and political
partisanship can forever after plead it
without indecency. As yet every thing in
national affairs moves on with serenity.
The only question likely for the present to
yex and disturb the country is the pre-.
mature discussion Of this. question Of
inability" Let it await the assembling
Of the peoples representatives in Congress.
THE CONFERENCE OF THE III. E.
CHURCH.
One hundred and forty ministers of the
NJ E. Church hold Conference session in
this city. They come from one hundred
and forty parishes or appointments in
Northern California. They represent a
denomination which has found a most fer
tile soil in American thought and society
denomination whose forms of worship are
less rituaEstio than spontaneously devo-
tional, and whose religious convictions
have been historically aggressive. Method
ism in America has never considered itself
absolved from all responsibility concerning
the great moral and secular issues engen-
dered by the advancement of civilization
The branch of the church represented by
this Conference was pioneer in that grand
protest against African slavery which end
ed in the extirpation of that relic Of bar
barism. In the Western march Of settle
ment and civilization American Methodism
advanced with the vanguard, and grew up
with every infant settlement on the adj
vancing frontier. Mr.. Eggleston, in his
Circuit Rider and Roxy" has pre-
served for the delight and instruction of
future generations most vivid and realistic
pictures of times and conditions now rap
idly fading from memory. Both the times
and the types of men have been denied a
place in popular literature, particularly in
the more attractive forms of standard fic-
ton. Mr.. Eggleston's work, however, will
preserve in most attractive form the de-
nominational enterprise and religious zeal
which made Methodism the guardian re-
ligion of the westward wave of American
civilization. For such work Methodism
possessed in the feature of itineracy a spe-
cial adoption, however we may dissent
from that characteristic as general prop
osition.

Sneaker Knapp has introduced a memorial having in view the annexation of that portion of Ar izona lying south of the Gila riv- CT with Southern California, and the creation of the country there- by united into a new State. The Los Angeles Herald has been ad' vocating the same scheme, which, for all we know to the contrary, lnay be a good one-for some peo- ple. For instance the prep0nder- ance of the present population Of Sou thern California over South ern Arizona would give that sec tion of the new State all the ad- ministrative offices. We have no particular objection. In fact we have in our minds eye several available men. Tom Mott, of Los Angeles, would make good gov ernor; D. c. Reed, of San Diego, a possible but not probable Lieu tenant Governor; Ned Hewitt, for State Treasurer; Potts, for Secretary of State; Col. Kewens for Attorney General; and so on ad libitum of old timers. Yuma should be the capital, and we of fer ourselves as chief lobbyist, be- ing acclimated.
