only of human slavery, but have demon
strated the impossibility in this country of
| the enslavement of human thought. We
have established the metes and bounds of
personal liberty, and made it practically
national law that political subdivisions
may, for social, police and sanitary pur-
poses, establish regulative measures to the
narrowing of such limits We have fos-
tered the aggregation of wealth for the
promotion of great enterprises, and at the
same time given it clearly to be under
stood that neither shall capital control
political institutions nor its enemies assail
the limitless ambition of men to accumu-
late and to possess.
We may not recount all the political
and social achievements of the era, nor
indicate the vast influence upon our lnstl-
buttons of other factors of our progress
| These are represented in the lives OF the
people in mechanics, in art, in education,
in science, and in literature, in means of
| intercommunication and transportation
and in none more significantly than in the
influence and unrestrained liberty of the
press. 1t is sufficient for the purpose to
declare our belief that despite the efforts
to cripple the free school system, to array
classes against each other; to antagonize
labor and capital; to belittle the laws; to
elevate the demagogue and condemn the
conservator Of right principle; to foist
upon the country political and social
hereSies; the national heart is sound at the
core That the right thought and wisdom
of the masses are true to the fundamental
principles of the Republic; that the insti-
tutions agencies and movements of the day
all tend to the unity and betterment of the
country. That the sources of national life
are sound.
We are too apt, in the .jostling, pushing
and crowding of the events of each day,
and the friction and conflicts of ideas, am
billions and interests, to lose sight of the
great truth that all these are contributive
and incidental to the great march of
national progress. The current of national
life flows steadily on, and the eddies here,
the shadows there, the saltwater pools
yonder, the whirling drift or the breaking
rapids do not check the force of the flow or
~ -
progress. The present antagonisms of
opinion, the present conflicts of personal
ambition, the present schemes of shallow
politicians, and the short-sighted policies
of narrow Legislators, are but surface mani
festations beneath which the national tide
of life flows on steadily to the great end
and purpose of its existence, unaffected by
merely local and temporary phenomena.

SHILLING THE WAVES.

The pouring of oil upon troubled waters
has come to be a useful reality. While
the quoting influence of the fluid has
never been questioned, it is a matter of
comparative newness that oil could be used
in fact upon the waves of the ocean with
such success as to moderate furious action
of the waters and secure ships from de-
struction. Yet that this has been success
fully done is no longer question. Exper-
iments of recent trial have been so salts
factory in result that inventive genius is
now turning its attention to the best means
of distributing the oil with due regard
for economy in its use and the ends to be
attained One of the first devices brought
before the public is the product of the
genius of Scotchman of Dundee, who has
invented an oil-bearing shell. This is so
constructed that it can be fred from a
mortar and being fitted with two time
fuses can be exploded at any given point,
and the oil thus scattered widely over the
waters. Its practical test was very Success
full recently, where it was used to still
tumultuous waves between two ships to en-
able a boat to pass with comparative ease
from one vessel to the other. The shell
burst midway between the ships, and the
oil spreading very soon Gained the waves
sufficiently to afford a safe passage be-
tween.

FAITH IN THE AMERICAN SYSTEM

Professor Amos has faith in the Ameri-
can system. He declares that there is no
reason for the doleful representations of
the owlish prophets of our ruin, and that
the republic of the United States can only
fail when the bulk of the nation shall in
dolently acquiesce in the vices and flaws of
its government, and when it shall cease to
struggle, to reconstruct to hope and be-
lieve
What are the indications of to-day {?
Certainly not respondent. There never was
period in our history when there was
more to hope for. In some quarters, it is
true, assaults are made upon the republi-
can system that are vicious, smack of COM
munism, and are the very edge and teeth
of ignorant hate and selfish luminosity to
great successes. But at large the national
heart is right. The people are not "ac-
quiescing in the vices of the government"
On the contrary, they are taking concern
in governmental affairs to an extent never
before known, and in every respect with
tendencies Of a reformatory character
Without infringing upon the independency
ofsovereign States, the people ofthe common
country have strengthened the national
arm, crystallized the principles of national
life, and rendered them well nigh invul-
nerable. They have discharged in large
part vast national debt with a
rapidity and minimum Of friction equalled
but once in history, and to-day
have acquired a larger surplus than
was deemed possible to attain by the most
far-seeing. Without an army or 4 navy
we have maintained our political import
anee abroad, though occasionally snubbed,
as recently by Turkey. We have reached
a practical settlement of the Indian ques-
ton, heretofore deemed all but impossible
of solution. and have thereby testified
anew to our absorbent powers. We have,
in the face of the convictions of large
portion of the people, declared the princi-
house of refuge for the people of all ma
tons, but that we have the right, and will
exercise it, to limit the incoming Of for
eign contributions to our political body to
those factors that will add to our material
and intellectual strength, and tend TO the
homogeneity of our people.
We have largely broken down the bar
riers that characterized the political and
social subordination of women, and in
many Of the professions, and in quite all
educational walks, have given her perfect
freedom of action. We have accomplished
municipal reforms of the broadcast charae-
ter, and have entered, without serious
friction, upon reform of the civil service
of the country that will remove the actu-
ating cause for much of corruption in gov
ernment
We have worked out the abolition not

SETTLING THE LAW.

Our evening contemporary is DESTROYS
that the Republican State Convention
next Wednesday shall "pass resolutions
strictly defining the powers of Central
Committees" And it adds: Central
Committees City, County and State) often
arrogate to themselves authority to which
they are not entitled" Very true Our
neighbor is to be congratulated on having
awakened to the Importance of this subject
We should have been pleased to have had
it unite with us months ago when we en-
tered protest against usurpations," it
well says should be suppressed, of which
Central Committees were guilty. We should
have been pleased to have had its aid in the
struggle recently made in this county, to
have the duties of local committees de-
fined, and which struggle secured primary
and convention, and finally the adoption
of resolutions limiting the powers of the
Central Committee of the Republican
party in Sacramento county. 1t IS perfectly
certain that in this county, as in Alameda
and Santa Clara, delegates would have been
appointed had not action been taken by
Republicans in disapproval of that course.
The usurpation" of the Alameda Com
mittee threatens to do the party serious
harm in Alameda, and in Santa Clara the
protest is so loud and strong that it is pos
sible the committee will yet be compelled
to call convention, late as the hour is. In
one county a committee has had the cool
etfrontery not only to name the delegates,
but to pledge them in favor of certain
candidates 1t would have been cheaper
for the committee to have sent up the vote
of the county in the form of certificate of
direction to the State Convention. Ger
tainIy the law of the party should be
settled by the State Convention as to the
jurisdiction of all Central Committees
Sacramento County Republicans have set
the State Convention good example in
that matter.

SMOKE CONSUMPTION IN LONDON
Nearly 100000 tons less of coal were con-
sumed in London last year than in the
year preceding, and this in spite of increase
of population and the severity of weather.
This great reduction in fuel is ascribed
chiefly to the anti-smoke question, which
has led to the invention and adoption of
the best sort of tireplaces London, as well
as New York, Philadelphia and some
other large cities, have always been waste
full in respect to fuel. New York ash-carts
