Az IMPORTANT pEcrz1oN.

An important decision was given by the
Superior Court OF this county yesterday,
the opinion being handed down by Judge
Mcfarland. The "new" Constitution
provides that "every Act shall embrace
but one subject, which subject shall be ex-
pressed in it's title" 1t also declares that
all the provisions of the Constitution are
mandatory unless otherwise expressly de-
cIared. Under the old Constitution sim.
liar provision regarding the title of Acts
of the Legislature was held by the Su-
preme Court to be merely directory. To
prevent any question of that kind again
arising, the trainers of the new Constitu-
ton expressly declared which of its provis-
ions shall be deemed mandatory and which
directory. a case came before the Court
ia which the issue turned upon the constitu-
tionality of an Act of the Legislature
amending the Political Code, where the
title of the Act merely refers to the section
Of the Code by its number, and contains
no other reference to the "subiect of the
Act" The Court now holds that the Act
is unconstitutional and void. 1t is the
first time such ruling has been made, for
in all previous cases there were other words
of reference in the title of the Act. The
decision, if held good, will affect number
of our laws, as crystallized in the Codes,
and the effect of their being set aside may
be startling. In this case an appeal is to
be taken, and the matter is deemed so i'm.
portant that it will, we learn, by agree
ment be sent up on the single question
noted. It would appear from an exanina-
ton of the Constitution and the decisions
of the Courts that the ruling of the Sacra.
mento Court is sound, and the probability
is strong of its being affirmed, in which
case there will be very lively overhauling
of those thin volumes entitled Amend
ments to the Codes"

INTERVIEWING.


The New York Sun, which, as rule, is
the most impracticable of journals, has
given utterance to one suggestion that is
worthy of sober consideration. 1t pro-
poses that the whole system of interview.
ing shall, by agreement among the leading
papers of the country, be reformed. The
plan is TO publish no interview on any i'm
portant topic until the interviewed
party is given an opportunity to read the
proof. The idea is a good one, but one
difficulty viii De to secure unity of action
in the matter among the leading journals.
Then, again, the majority of interviews

at time when the party most interested

livery of a proof. Again, the pub
fishers are seldom able to prepare the
matter in time to furnish proof, as the

determined by every human being claimed
by that nation as component part of it.
The humanity of American politics should
embrace the common humanity that wraps
into the single mantle of law and self-gov-
eminent both man and woman. Nor do
we see in this any destruction of the iden-
LITIGATION of woman in her relations to the
family, or that there would be any lessen
ing of the sacred ties that unite the sexes
in marriage. On the contrary, we find
reason for belief that the enlargement of
woman's political sphere would strengthen
all those guards that are already thrown
around the institution Of marriage, and
would have tendency to elevate still
higher those standards that place the home
foremost as the shield and buokler of ma
ton, and that hold the homes exalted con-
dition to be the proudest monument of civ.
ilization.

TIE CHOLERA.

The cholera appears TO be making o more
rapid march than even the most fearful
anticipated. The mortality in Egypt is
frightful, but not more so than in the Bonn.
bay district In India, where l, l6l deaths
were officially reported in single week in
June. The appearance of the dread disease
in Wales. in London, and its reported ad-
vent in Mexico, will naturally awaken
much alarm in America. This will have
value if it shall move the pesple to take
immediate steps to prepare for struggle
with the plague. We can, by rigid qusran-
tine, by rigorous sanitary discipline, by
timely cleansing of the centers of popula.
ton, do very much to mitigate the force of
the disease, the last waves of which will
undoubtedly spend themselves upon this
continent. There is no desire to needlessly
alarm the people, no intention to promote
a panicky state of the public mind, but
when the past history of the cholera is con.
sidered, the fact brought to mind that the
majority of physicians of this day have
had little or no experience with the dis

A VIEW OF TIE SITUATION FROM
AN EASTERN STANDPOINT.

The New York EveniNg Post takes a
very dispassionate view of the present
telegraphio difficulty, which is SO disar-
ranging and inoommoding the business of
the country. Ins complete review of the
situation from all points of observation it
concludes that the public has no cause of
complaint against the telegraphic opera
tors, who maintain no relation of obligation
to it. But the telegraph companies
occupy very different position, and one
which is intimately related to the CONNER.
cial and news interests of the country.
These latter, therefore, should look only
to the companies, which have no right to
use public convenience and try public pa.
thence in order to bring about within the
corporations domestic results for their own
gain. The logic of this view is irresistible.
Our contemporary points out that neither
the employer nor the employee should be at
the mercy Of each other, nor should the
public be placed at the mercy of either. 1t
holds that there should be legal methods,
therefore, for compulsory arbitration of such
disputes as the one now SO prominently be.
fore the country. In their absence the
country is made the chief sufferer in the
quarrel, the evils of which it has no power
to avert. It is notorious, says the Post,
that the companies are not "tiding
over the difficulty. st is useless
to deny that at this moment the
business community is seriously suffering
from inadequate means of rapid correspond
ence. The force to-day employed in the
telegraph offices is not only deplorably in
sufficient in numbers to dispose of the
accumulated business, but many of the
operators now employed are worn-out or
raw hands. Injurious delay and danger
GUS inaccuracy in the transmission of
messages will be the inevitable copse-
quence. The public have a right to de-
mand that this condition of things must
not continue, and also to ask whose fault
it ia that, in the absence of law for COM
pulsory arbitration, voluntary arbitration
was not resorted to for the composition of
the contest" 1t finds no difficulty in pIac-
ing the blame upon the telegraph COM
panies, for the Post asserts the telegraph
ers did seek to avoid the strike, but their
appeals were treated with contempt. Is

ton and skill. 1t is apt in compare.

system SO as seriously to reduce their work.
ing capacity. Their wages are much less
than those of masons and the better class
of carpenters. They were twice reduced
within a few years past, while the CON-
pany made handsome dividends" This
judgment and statement of fact from
leading Eastern journal on the chief bat
tleground, and with all the facilities for
asoertaining the exact faots, comes with
peculiar force at this time in response to
the excuses of the telegraph companies.

one aim Of the journalist is to publish
news as speedily after securing it as ne
possibly can. And still again, the diff
Guilty of securing the return of proof in
time is well known to all publishers, and is
almost an insurmountable obstacle, for the
outsider cannot be made to realize the value
of time in a publication Office. So, on
the whole, the SUMS plan will not come
into favor. But the suggestion is none
the less wise, for it is fact that the
interview is always open to the objection
that the party conversed with can, and
frequently does, deny the correctness of
the published statements. and thus the
reporter class, who as a rule are as cor
rect as any other class of business men
in the matter of reporting news, is brought
into disrepute, and doubt is cast upon their
work. Now the truth is, as every man
knows who has served in the capacity of
a reporter, that the average Of men do
not realize how their spoken words will
appsar in print. They talk with far
less caution than they write. As re-
suit, it is common for the charge to be
made that the reporter has not properly
represented the conversation. A better
plan than that of the Sun is, in all cases
where the "interview is consented to,
to furnish the questions in manuscript
and secure the answers in the handwrit-
ing of the party, OF course this is open
TO objections, such as the delay it iucurs,
the fact that all proper questions cannot
be foreseen, etc. As it now exists, the
system is much abused, and certainly
needs eorrectives but we have little
faith in any being applied. Honest jour-
nalism, painstaking and conscientious work
on the part of the reporters for the press,
are about the only practicable remedies
that can be applied.

their grievances than to work for starva.

claims to be the champion auti.monopolist

against the operators in their conflict for
living wages with one of the greatest, if
not the greatest, monopoles in the United

A REauKR no TaE pAar

Recently near Salem, Mass, picnic or
reunion was held by the descendants of
Rebecca Nurse. It was notable gather
ing, and one that afforded an elevated
vantage ground from which to look back
over the past. Who was Rebecca Nurse (?
She was an emiable, virtuous old lady.
She was respected as matron, loved as
wife, admired as Christian woman, and
held up as a domestic model-one whose
character was above reproach, and whose
life exemplifed the virtues that adorn the
true woman. But in the year 1892, in the
midst of an era of the cruelest superstition,
this good woman was accused of being a
witch, and was tried, convicted and
hanged. Her descendants meet together
annually to make silent protest by their
reunion against all superstition that moves
to acts of persecution. They propose, and
have raised means to erect a monument to
Rebeeca on the spot where she was exc
cuted. This is to be done, not to perpetu-
ate the memory of a reproacb, but to
mark the mighty strides We have made in
the march OF civilization and tolerance
The recital is in itself a sermon, and can
not be strengthened by any commentary.
