INSANE ASYLUM rIREs.

Two insane asylums have been burned at
night during the past winter, and in both
instances the deficiency of water made it
impossible to control the fires. It's to be
observed that this deficiency almost invari.
ably occurs when public buildings of any
kind situated outside municipal limits, take
fire. Sometimes there have been special
provisions against fire. Sometimes there is
an elaborate machinery of engines and force
pumps and Babcock extinguishers. But
when the test comes all these provisions
generally fail, and the destruction is COM
plete. No doubt lack of discipline is one
of the causes of this. Ordinarily when
engines or pumps, etc., have once been put
up, they are thought no more of, and if it
becomes necessary to use them the proba-
bility is that they have got ost of order, or
nobody at hand knows how to work them.
A daily or weekly drill of the employees at
such institutions would teach them all
their duty, and keep the fire apparatus in
constant working order. This is what
ought to be done, but it may require the
burning of half dozen more asylums to
emphasize the lesson.

perience has demonstrated the evil of the
constitutional scheme of taxation, and
though the Legislature has undertaken to
remedy some of tne worst of these blunders
by statutory enactment, it is clear that the
organic lgw itself viii have to be changed
before public confidence will be restored.
j has also been shown during the last ses-
sion that the Legislature possesses very
dangerous power over the Executive in the
matter of voting the supplies. 1t can, as
has been recently proved, compel the Gov
ernor to call an extra session, by refusing
to pass the appropriation bill, and thus
the constitutional provision that the ses-
sion shall be of sixty days may be evaded
at any time. This is evidently a very
dangerous power to be in the hands of the
Legislature. and some means of preventing
that body from blocking the wheels of
government ought to be adopted. There
are many other very necessary subjects of
amendment in the Constitution, but these
seem to require most prompt attention.

Taxation for School Purposes-sui for

PORTLAND, March 7th.-At the annual
meeting of the taxpayers of this city, held
this evening, a tax of d mills on assessabie
property in the district was levied for the
support of public schools of Portland.
a suit was instituted few weeks ago by
Eric johnson, pilot of the tug Astoris, against
the schooner Emily Stevens, for 81, 500 sal
wage. The schooner went ashore at the
mouth of the Columbia, and the vessel and
crew were rescued by the tug. In the United
States District Court to-day Judge Deadly
decided the case against the schooner, fixing
the amount of salvage at $1,000 This
amount was paid into Court, and the vessel

tyranny on the part of the English Government !;
therefore be it
ReSolped, That it is the opinion of the Land
League Of Oregon that every organization and ind-
vidual in sympathy with ireland is justified in
adopting the theory that all human agency that can
be employed should be used to cripple English su-
thority and influence wherever it may be estab-
lished.
Resolved, That the peaceful policy of the Land
League is conducive to the freedom of Ireland
than an aggressive policy, as advocated by the ad
vanced Irish Nation lists

MR. GREEN AID Tag LEYgEs.

The Bee last night undertook to defend
Mr.. Green's record on the levee defenses.
Its position was that the responsibility fol
the neglect of the leyees during his preyi-
GUS administration lies with the Levee
Commissioners, and that he cannot be held
accountable. This is too thin. The Bee
must have surprising confidence in the
forgetfulness of the public when it thinks
it possible to make so himsy subterfuge
as this exculpate its client. The facts are
these. Mr.. Green was Mayor of the city.
He was salaried official, charged with the
constant supervision of the city's interests,
and paid well for this work. The Levee
Commissioners were citizens who served
without pay; who were practically ire
sponsible, and whose Office, mainly through
the apathy and Incidence of the Trustees,
had almost fallen into desuetude. The
Trustees, with Mr.. Green at their head,
had become 50 accustomed to neglect the
levees that it never occurred to them to
take any action about them. 1t was their
business to see that the levees were duly
protected and repaired, but SO completely
had they neglected this duty that when
the break at Loyedalps ranch occurred in
1878, it was some time before it could be
ascertained who the Levee Commissioners
were. Citizens who supposed that they
had been taken off the Commission years
previously, then discovered to their amaze
ment that they were still in Office. That
was the kind of condition into which the
levees had been permitted to drift during
Mr.. Green's administration. 1t is there.
fore somewhat impudent in the Bee to
turn round and try to relieve Mr.. Green
of responsibility by putting it on
the shoulders of the, Levee Commits
sioners. a competent, public-spirited
and energetic Mayor certainly would
not have left the sole care of the defenses
of the city to Board the very constitu.
ton of which was at the time doubtful
and which had been suffered to lapse al
most completely. The plain truth OF the
matter is what the RECORD UNION stated
yesterday, that Dir. Green did absolutely
nothing for the leyees when he was Mayor.
Il is equally certain that he could have
done a great deal Rad he been SO minded,
and that his duty to. the city ought to have
forced this matter upon his attention. The
city does not put reliance upon unpaid
Commissioners in questions of this i'm
portance, but it expects the salaried men,
bers of the municipal government to see to
It's defenses, and ii this is not done it holds
them responsible for the failure. Mr..
Green, and not the Leyee Commissioners,
is accountable for the neglect of the levees
during his administration.

RcaARRAHAN AGAIN.


1t appears that during the session of Con-
gress just ended, the indefatigable MeGar-
rahan succeeded in persusding House
committee to report in favor of giving him
a grant of s, coo, 900 acres of land, in lieu OF
his worthless invalid title to the New
Idria mines. The majority of the mem
bers of the committee who voted for this
bold steal were about to leave Congress,
and this fact in all probability rendered
them more audacious and more reckless
than they would otherwise have been. The
right of MeGarrahan to the land grant pro-
posed to be given him is on precisely the
same basis as his right to the New Idria
mines. He attempted to get the mines by
advancing title which has been declared
fraudulent by every Court, and which has
been branded in the same way by,
we do not remember how many,
successive Congresses. Every attempt to
revive the claim has had the same termina-
ton, and yet the claim has been brought
forward after each defeat with the same
cool persistence, and what is more, it has
grown larger as time passed. A history of
this case would surpass the most extrava-
CANT stories ever invented by Mark Twain,
and would so far towards justifying the
conclusion that it is absolutely impossible
to finally kill a fraudulent claim in the
United States. When appeals are taken
from the Courts to Congress, and when
contingent fees are lavishly distributed
among members, it is almost impossible to
prevent the resurrection of such i'm
postures. This particular fraud, however,
has become so malodorous, and is SO certain
to damn all who connect themselves with
it, that Congress, for its own sake, ought
to take some steps for burying the out
rageous thing.I

Tucson. March 7th.--A Star special from
Yuma says: Marshal Evans, with his posse,
arrived by to-night's train from Tucson, and
at once proceeded to serve the process of the
District Court in the Lyons & Goldwater
case. BY the time he had placed his posse in
front Of Lyons & Goldwater's store the resist
ing forces began to weaken, and surrendered
after trifing resistance, little in keeping
with their former threats. Evans promptly
arrested all those opposing the service of the
process. and has the ringleaders in jail. There
was great excitement here, as it was believed
that bloodshed was imminent; but when the
Marshal marched up determined to take pos
session, the opposing force yielded. Had this
determined policy been pursued at the start,
as insisted upon by Attorney Farley, the
matter would have been closed several days
ago, and saved the San Francisco creditors
much unnecessary expense.

A REMARKABLE PRoTUBERANcE ON THE
SUN.

1t is pitiful to witness the condition of
the sun. The great fire ball is in intense
commotion. His surface is scanned and
SCARED in every direction, with black spots
that indicate the disturbing elements at
work in his chaotic mass. Occasionally,
for day or two, the blemishes disappear,
and the glorious king of day shows a face
like shield of glowing gold. But the as
pect quickly changes spots come rushing
in all directions and assuming all forms.
They appear singly and in pairs, and again
in groups and rows. Immense groups
break up into small ones, and small ones
unite to form great chasms, into which
half dozen worlds might be dropped and
there would still be room for more. Some
times the spots are visible to the naked
eye, and at that time a good opera glass
or spy,glass will make them easily per-
ceptible. Hundreds of observers all over
the world watch the suns face every
clear day, and keep a record of the number
of spots, their size, and the direction in
which they move, for as the sun turns on
his axis they turn with him, some of them
remaining for months without much
change, some taking on new forms and
some disappearing entirely. Very little is
known of this mysterious sun or the spots
that are visible more than go 600, 600 miles
away. Once in about eleven years the sun
takes on his present sun-spot phase, and
we are approaching the maximum of dis
turbance. No one knows the cause. Some
believe that it is planetary attraction, some
that it is the fall of great masses of mete-
oric matter, and some that it is the result
of internal commotion and the rush up
wards of gaseous explosions, IN comparison
with which our fiercest volcanic eruptions
are but the flicker of fame. Besides the
sun-spot agitation, the gaseous outbursts
are marked and vivid. The tongues of
fame or. rosy protuberances are darting
forth in all directions and bearing their
testimony to the solar commotion. Mr..
Trouvelot, of Cambridge, who makes
daily observation of the suns chromo-
sphere, gives, a graphic description Of the
remarkable solar protuberance that he wit
messed on the 10th of November. When
first seen it was large and complicated, ex-
tending upward from the sun about l00,-
600 miles. Three or four hours after it
had developed into huge proportions, ex-
tending far out into space, and vanishing
gradually to regions where it could not be
perceived. As nearly as it could be meas
ured it reached hight of over quarter
ofthe sun sdiameter, orabout 235, COO miles.
Snch protuberance hurled upward from
the earth would almost reach the moon
Two hours after the whole structure had
collapsed, and was only about Is, coo miles
high. Observations like this give an idea
of the mighty forces at work in the solar
orb, and make observers long for the time
when e satisfactory solution may be found
for this mysterious periodical solar disturb
ance, so intimately connected with the
meteorological condition Of the EARTH

Yesterday morning, says the Truckee
Independent of February 24th, one of our
business men left his home and started for
his place of business. At one place he has
to walk narrow plank across one of the
numerous mud holes that are to be seen
around town. Just as he had crossed the
place he heard splash, and turning saw
the mud moving in such a manner as to
lead him to believe there was something in
it. Turning back he fished around for a
while, and finally pulled out child. He
took the little one into his own house, and
after some time spent in scraping the mud
off the features became plain enough for
him to recognize that it was his own little
