The San Francisco Chronicle, which has been the
chief In the spoliation raid on railroads, on the
ground that they were making altogether too much
money is incautious to admit that Henry Clews may
be right in the opinion that the sudden decline of
Northern Pacific on Monday is due to the fact that
the Pacific coast has more miles OF railway than
present business to support the roads prctitably.

TIE timid individual who fears that the agitation
of sanitary reforms in Sacramento VIII advertise
the town to disadvantage, has been heard from
again. That class of people would barter for ephem-
era reputation the health of the people and assume
the risk Of epidemics. The truth is, that people
abroad admire the community that has the courage
to force foul places within its borders to be made
clean. A single epidemic assault of diphtheria
gnant fever or cholera would blow the bubble rep
utation SO far away that the timid people would not
live long enough to see it restored to place

CONFLICT OF DECISIONS. The recent
decision of Judge Belden, of the Superior
Court of Santa Clara county, in case in
which the pay of the County Auditor was
involved, as test case under the new
schedule of salaries fixed by the county
government bill. takes directly the oppo.
site view to that of Judge Williams, Of
Ell Dorado county, recently published in
the columns of the RECORD. UNION. Judge
Williams held that the law was unconsti.
tutional so far as it related TO salaries, and
Judge Bolden decided that the portion of
the Act pertaining TO salaries was valid.
1t is understood that an appeal has been
taken in both cases to the Supreme Court.
SO that final decision will no doubt soon
be given in support of one:of the opposing
conclusions arrived at in the lower Courts,
