Bound TO GET MARRIED. The expression
"kansas or bust" is rather stale, but to
get married or bust is entirely new and
novel, but such was the motto of couple
hailing from Cape Horn mountain. They
wanted to be married, but owing to the
girls age-l6 years, her father objected,
the mother however, being willing that the
nuptial knot should be tied. Without the
fathers consent to give the girl" they were
unable to procure a license but this did not
weaken them in the least, for they came
down to Portland, procured tickets for San
Francisco, and were united in the holy bonds
of matrimony out in mid ocean. The would
be husband intended to marry that girl
if he had to go all the way to Utah. The
married couple returned few days since,
and are now stopping with the brides
mother at Cape Horn mountain.

WELL DoNE.-It will be remembered
that the time the queen Of the Pacific was
ashore at the mouth of the Columbia a
number of the soldiers of Co. f, 2lst In
fantry, went to the rescue in an open boat.
During the time they were assisting, pri-
vate Rudolph Pfeiffer met with an accident
by which he lost the end joints of two
fingers on his right hand. Last week
Goodall, Perkins & Co., the owners of the
Queen, sent Pfeiffer check for $780, also a
check of $50 to be divided up among the
remainder of the soldiers in the crew. This
action of the firm above mentioned is cred
liable, as being a partial reward, and as an
incentive to further good action in time of
danger.

mL-AssUMED ADVERTISEMENT.

The San Francisco EIdminer says cit
Is gratifying to know that SO stanch Re-
publican paper as the RECORD. UNION is in
favor OF civil service reform. It is a Gu.
rious position for Republican Journal to
take. Nevertheless, our contemporary ex-
presses very large share of public senti-
nent in deprecating the obstacles which
are being constantly placed in the way of
the Commission by the political bosses. "
To those familiar with the constitutional
inconsistency Of the Examiner, the quota
ton will occasion no surprise. The RECORD.
UNION was the earnest advocate of civil
service reform when the Examiner dared
not speak upon the subject, and had no
comprehension of the lofty principles in
voIyed in the question. Its recent partial
conversion to system which it does not
understand. dates from its advocacy by
an Eastern Democrat. It has reason to
know that the RECORD. UNION has always
been the incorporating opponent OF boss.

PoRrgNTs OF TEE TIMES.

A contemporary remarks that the pecu-
liarity of the politics Of the day is the
struggle perpetually going on between
political wire. pullers and the persons who,
mainly by their procurement, have been
elevated to positions of public trust.
1t certainly is marked popularity, and it
is more it is an Indication that points with
unerring certainty to a rising of the party
masses and a hurting of these managers
from power. Either this or party disin-
tegration must come about. Official re-
sponsibility must be TO the people and not
to the political bosses. The public officer
who hereafter attempts to serve both the
party boss and the people will find his di-
vided allegiance to be the cause of his po-
litical death. The time will come, and
very much sooner than has been antici-
pated, when it will be necessary to dis
charge official duty with sole reference to
the general public interest. Those who
read the portents of the times must see the
approach of the hour when the rod of the
party manager will be broken. Those Y no
are wise will use their best endeavors to
prevent this political revolution from going
to the extreme of destroying existing
parties, but if the present steps being taken
to harmonic within ranks, and to break
the grasp of the unscrupulous managers,
prove fruitless, it will not be surprising if
they are left to compose parties in which
they alone will constitute both rank and

tbs nEw SCHOOL, Law.

In very few days more the new public
school law will go into operation. TIE
provisions of the Act are of great impor-
tance, and they should be made effective
with all reasonable speed. The purpose of
the new law is to bridge the gap between
the State University and the grammar
course of the public school system. The
desirabiiity of this accomplishment it is
wholly unnecessary to now consider, since
it is matter Of universal agreement. The
plan the new law provides for arriving at
the desired result is simple, but it will be
ineffective unless the people of the rural
districts take hold upon it with vigor
and a determination to give it a
thorough trial. We have faith
in If, and trust that it will be awaited Of at
once. Preparations for coming under the
operation Of the law should begin i'm.
mediately. In cities High Schools now
enable the children of poor or rich to pre-
pare for the University. In Sacramento
Che High School has been awaited of by
the people of moderate means and the
poor seven timea where the rich have en-.
joyed It's advantages once We presume
the same is true of other localities. But
oztside the large cities there are few High
Schools, and the resident of the country is
compelled, at heavy expense, to send his
children from home to fit them in pre-
parsbory course Under the new law,
which goes into operation April 2Sth, and
the law regarding joint action of districts,
already in force, several contiguous school
districts may unite and establish gram
mar school and adopt course of study for
four grades that will prepare students to
enter the scientific department of the State
University. But this cannot be done ex-
cept by submission to the qualified electors
of the districts 10 most districts there ia
. school fund somewhat in excess of local
needs, but not sufficient for the mainten.
ancs of High Grammar Grade" By
the union Of the funds of several contigu.
GUS districts, however, this can be effected
without any increase of burdens. The law
also permits any single district, if the
electors go decide, to establish the new
grammer grades Independently, in which
case the new grades are TO take the place
of the usual grammar grades.

SPEAKING THE TRUTH.

The admission of San Francisco jour-
nal now and then that the railroads of the
country have been of use to it as develop
ers, Is rare, because the atmosphere of DEM
agegy there has been so foggy with preju.
dice as to be impervious to the light of
truth. But in the San Francisco Post
there is evidence of clear sightedness and
determination to speak the truth whether
it pleases the rabid anti railroad ranters or
not. 1t begins an article in it's latest issue,
the first few words of which indicate the
spirit of the whole. It Gays: The Cen
trail and Southern Pacific Railroads have
lone more to develop our interior trade
than all other agencies combined. They
have rendered possible the vast agricult-
ural development of the State by providing
transportation for wheat to tide.water,
thus bringing vast acres of land under
cultivation which would otherwise remain
| unproduetive. In the development ,pi
grape and fruit culture the railroads have
been equally efficient aids to the agricult
wrists and landowners of California. II
the senseless cry about railroad extor
ton and monopoly these great services
| have been forgotten"

his colleagues will not deceive many. The
Eranaiaer is incapable of approaching the
craftsmanship that recognized the fitness
OF MIR. Eaton for place on the Civil Ser
vice Reform Commission, and took no ac-
count of the fact that he was Democrat,
and the appointing power Republican.
To such conceptions of statecraft the
Eraniner cannot rise. It is the thrall Of
party, and alternately cracks the whip and
feela the lash. It's concurrence, had the
political relations of President Arthur
and Mr.. Eaton been reversed, would never
have been entered 1t applaudsd loudly
when the late Legislature and the present
State Administration proclaimed and acted
upon the Democratic maxim, "to the
vic.ors belong the spoils, . and the latest
manifestation Of which was witnessed in
this city last Thursday, when party-in-
competent waa foisted upon the people TO
draw $50 per month from the State
Treasury. The Examiner says, referring
to Mr.. Eaton'a appointment "The tribute
thus given to Mr.. Eaton is not only cred.
table to his political associations, but
It is a distinguished recognition of his
ability, earnestness and devotion to
the best interests of the republic.
It is a subject, too, to which Mr..
Eaton has given many years of his life. ="
OF course it would not have dared to
place on record similar words in case
the State Board of Horticulture last week
had risen equal to the occasion, free from
the trammels of party, and have placed a
competent Republican on guard over hor-
ticultural interests in this State. The
very best thing the Hearst machine can
do is to preserve a discreet silence on
topics of this order. 1t. never openS
its mouth to give expression upon subject'l
of this character, and calling for dispas
sionate consideration, that it does not
realize the danger of feeling that which of
all else it breads the most-the cut of the
lash of the party ripgmaster, recalling it
to its daily duty of posturing for the party.
Independence is an almost unknown ele-
ment in its composition, and its occasional
assumptions of it are SO grotesque as to
provoke the laughter of lookers.on.

EDUCATIONAL REFORM.

Juet now the press is flooded with sug-
gestions concerning educational reforms
and improvements. This is well enough.
but We should call to mind how much
easier it is to plan than to build how much
less is required TO point the way than to
walk in it. The tendency in educational
reforms is toward extremes, and the part
of wisdom is to find the mean of good and
of accomplishment.
