Apropos of the recent death of
Heine's wife, whose temper was said
to be not of the sweeest, the following
words of the famous poet are recalled:
II mean to leave all my money to
my wife, on condition that she shall
marry again. l long to be regretted
after am dead, and / am certain that
whoever marries her will regret as
long as he lives that / ever died. 3"
But all Heine's money was only a
thousand dollars a year, and this his
widow had without changing her
name.

THE CALIFORNIA STREAMS AND THE
APPROPRIATION BILL.

The War Department Engineers have
made an estimate of the sum that can be
advantageously expended on river and. har-
Dor improvements for the next two years,
and the aggregate of the appropriations to
be asked for is S35, 900, 900. 1t is probable
that half that amount would be sufficient
for all the work actually needed to be
done. The trouble will be, as it always
has been, that so soon as a really needed
sum is asked for, there will pop up from
every tail race and perch creek in the coun.
try a Congressman anxious to propitiate
the local gods and demand that his partic-
ular section have slice of the plunder
for the great work of improving the
navigation in the harbor of Thingamy, or
for opening up to commerce the important
stream known as Pinhook. And, what is
worse, these men will succeed in so quickly
riding the appropriation bill to death with
these amendments that the whole country
rejoices in its taking on. Thus the really
meiltorlous claims suffer along with the
fraudulent ones, and 60 needed improve
ments are not made at all. That has been
the trouble regarding the California rivers
all this time. Not only has the Govern.
ment acquiesced in their partial destruc-
tion by hydraulic mining, but it has re-
fused to rectify the damage by any ade-
quate treatment. There are reaches of the
Sacramento that need to be Strengthened /;
others that should be dredged out others
where restraining works are a necessity to
prevent the stream from cutting channels
that would be damaging to its navigation !;
generally it should have more attention,
and thatimmediately, than the mere pulling
of snags from its bed annually.

TO MAKs MURDER INFAMOUS.

It is noticeable, and it is gratifying that
it is SO, that the American press is bestow.

murderers now days. The romance of the
scaffold is being clipped, and cutthroats
are not afforded the opportunities they

grip of the rope appear as a sort of mar

The suggestion OF Mr.. Knox, Comptrol.
Ter of the United States Treasury, made at
the Bankers Convention at Louisville the
other day, has the freshness of novelty,
and it does not appear why the idea might
not be carried out and very troublesome
question thus disposed of effectually. His
plan is, that in view of the withdrawal of
United States bonds that are now deposited
as security for their issue by the national
banks-English consols, French and other
notes, and foreign securities which are
perfectly good, but will never be called in,
be substituted for the securities of the
banks which are to be affected by the new
call. All the class of foreign bonds re-.
ferred to are constantly in demand in the
market, are not seriously affected by Eu-
ropean complications, and would constitute
for our Government just as good guaran.

very important matter in connection with
his suggestion that should be borne in mind
to substitute foreign bonds, removes fro m
political field very perplexing matter, and
takes out of the realm of legislation sub

ance and incompetency, and that keeps the
country in more or less of confusion at all

gaE CROP REPORTS.

The Agricultural Bureau of the Govern.
ment has made public its crop report for
October. The sheets disclose a very salts.
factory state of facts. The statisticisns of
the bureau find that the reports of the
thrashings received from the various States
Justify the placing of the average wheat
yield at about ll.3 bushels. The aggregate
is fixed upon at over 400, 900, 900 of
bushels, with a possibility OF 400, 900, 600
bushels being reached. OF corn we shall
have in the neighborhood of 1000, 900, 900
bushels. This is not SO large by 100, ,OOO.-
600 as the largest crop ever grown. But
the corn is of lower grade than that of
last year. As to oats, .we!have larger yield
that the bureau has ever before noted, to
wit, 500, 600, 900 bushels. Of barley there
will be quite near to $4,000, 600 bushels
yield unprecedented. The cotton crop ia es.
timated at 6. 600, coo bales. The potato crop
is reported of good condition, and larger
in the bushels yielded than at any time in
eight years. Thus it is certain that we
shall have for market large stock of food
supplies, but the quality is not superior, on
the whole, to the yield of most years.

A NEW DEPARTURE.

Recently in the city of Boston two
stenogrsphers were observed jotting down
the words of the actors in the play of
" Young Mrs. Winthrop" as represented
at the Park Theater. The charge was laid
against them that they were stealing the
text OF the play. This raises some new
and nice legal points. The right of the
author to the product of his brain must be
maintained. The dramatic author, of all
others, is most exposed to the depredations
of literary lsrcenists. His play may be so
contorted and changed, as to save the thief
from the penalty of the law, and still the
thought, the theme, the essence of the pro-
duction be stolen and presented for
another's profit. Now, to boldly take the
text and reproduce it, is questionably the
taking of property, and is larceny. But
suppose one takes notes of play for men,
ory's sake, to augment the pleasures of
for the purposes of criticism,
or what not, has there been any crime com.
mitted? Can it be said, indeed, that the
mere taking down of the text is to be
deemed a criminal act ? Would the i'm
mediate destruction of the notes by the
writer relieve him from the charge? If 30,
it is evident that there was no crime com.
mitted in the first instance. Must not the
act of production or of publication be at
tempted before the crime attaches? Sup
pose the case of one so gifted as to be
able to carry away the entire text of
drama in memory. Has that person
stolen the product of the authors brain
Unquestionably not Then, let us suppose
that, as an aid to memory, he jots down
now and then note, has he yet committed
a crime? In short, how much of note
taking must there be to constitute the Of
Tense? Can the iutent be predetermined
by the fact that one is taking notes in
only to himself We think
not.

much of its terror on account of the sensa-
tional reports and dramatic recitals of the
death of criminals upon the cross beam.
Another thing our plan would embrace
also, would be the elimination from news
paper reports of all mention of the sickly
sentimentalists who fawn upon condemned
murderers, and strew their pathway to
perdition with flowers and the con.
solations of sympathy. Of such
are those who were shocked the
other day, because Governor Cleveland
of New York refused to commute
the sentence of Edward Hovey, young
ruffian who shot down man in cold blood.
He had commanded his wife to bathe his
feet while she was engaged in soothing the
last moments of their dying child. At this
his sister in.law, who was feeble woman,
demonstrated with him and he deliberately
shot her down. This ruffian, for whom
hanging was all too good, was full of
bravado until convicted. Then he became
contrite, and score of limp intellects at
once came to console him and shower
flowers upon him and mourn over his
young life, so soon to be cut short. Hovey
played the game up to the instant when
the Governors decision was communicated
to him. Then the demon in him mani
tested itself and he tore about his cell and
shocked his sad.eyed sympathizers with
oaths while as he denounced the Governor
as brute. If Governor Cleveland had any
doubt up to that time in refusing the ap-
peal of the condemned, the action of Hovey
must have dissipated it. What is needed
to make murder more infamous, is speedy
trial, swift conviction, stiff backed Govern.
ors, certain punishment and deathly
silence as to the scenes of the hanging.
