IN A NUTSHELL,

George William Curtis puts the whole
matter in a nutshell, relative to the
proposition now before Congress to
copyright news, when he says; 1.-THE
essential value Of news lies in the
fact, and not in the form, and the
moment it is published, in whatever form,
the fact becomes the property of the pub
lic" That view, it will be recalled, the
REcoRD-UN1oN took some weeks ago. 1t
is all there is in the debate-facts cannot
be patented. Should Congress declare to
the contrary, the Courts will hold the law
unconstitutional, since it will be an in.
fringement upon one of the most sacred
and inalienable rights of the freeman.

TIE LsVEE VOTE.

The same story is daily gone over by the
opponents of the levee tax, and the same
arguments presented to defeat the EN-.
phatic will of the people, and old and over
opposition. We have fully and exhaust.
lively stated our reasons for declaring that
the levee improvement proposition was
adopted by the people, and they are sup
ported by high legal authority. We resffirm
that position, and the more we examine
into it the stronger is the conviction that
such is the law, that it cannot be held
otherwise, and that it is equally reason,
common sense and justice. The effort to
count against the proposition dumb
and blank ballots should not be tolerated.
The question on Tuesday was one
of votes, not electors nor ballots.
If the opposition have such faith in their
doctrine let them test it in Court. 1t can
be easily and quickly and inexpensively
done. As it now stands two thousand six
hundred and eiehty-one voters of Sacra.
mento have the affirmative, and the effort
to force them to appeal to the law for their
expressed will to be made effective is
neither reasonable nor decent, nor should
the Trustees listen to it. Ii the opposition
is right, then its right cannot be invaded
and a simple writ can be sued out to pro-.
tect that right from proposed assault.
But it is the most absurd argument in the
world to demand of the two-thirds affirm
alive that after winning the battle they
should appeal to the Courts to declare the
fact. Let those who challenge the victory
appeal, if they wish.

cisco.
In the mean time 1t is good policy to
agitate " tenement-house reform" This
is being done by "The Model Tenement
House Company" of New York. This
association is giving force to its preaching
by the erection of tenement. house build
ings that are approved by sanitarians and
police officials, and are so scattered that no
large congregation of the very poor can be
made. There is secured plenty of light
and air, good drainage and excellent
fittings to the tenements. These places
are let at very low figure, and the houses
are supervised by the company, and thus
cleanliness is enforced, neatness in rooms
and of person encouraged and the congre-
CATION of the vicious prevented. The low
est poverty is encouraged to occupy these
houses, but as the virtuous are given pre-
ference, it follows that stimulus is given
to right resolves. Of course this COM
pany, which is content with per cent. re.
turn on its investment, does not reach
the lowest class the class of people who
swarm in the wretched quarters where
children born to misery and crime are
reared in q mephitic atmosphere, and
trained to a life of lawlessness and lazi-
ness. Professor Adler would have tene-
ment house societies build houses to bring
G or per cent, as the better class of oc.
cupants now pay rapacious landlords 10 and
20 per cent The surplus over per cent. he
would devote to aiding worthy poor peo-
pie who cannot pay rental that will yield
even per cent. to the stockholders. This
scheme will undoubtedly suggest others.
We look forward very confidently to the
forward movement of this reform. No
steps have been taken in better direction
in modern times. They are among the
grandest strides of virtue since he who
contributes to the wellbeing of his fel.
lows, and puts forth hand to lift men up,
is doing the noblest work possible to hu.
manity, and is serving God in the front
ranks

At political meeting in Philadelphia a
Mr. Carson was one of the Independent
Republican speakers. He declared that
the first duty of the citizen is to avoid
and not attend the primaries of his party.
He then proceeded to say
There is nothing representative in them. Often,
for two hours, have hunted the place for holding
the primary election in my own division and then
the polls were closed. The way primaries are held
is this few men come together in disreputable
den, delegate is chosen, whose name you are not
familiar with, and, II there Is contest, credentials
are given to man who has polled ten votes, rather
than to the who received sixty votes, If the lat
ter is not the subseryient tool of the bosses The
primaries not fit places for the people or self
respecting men to attend.
Very we'll and if this be admitted and
certainly no one is prepared to deny that
there is much of truth AID force in the
complaint-are absence and avoidance the
remedies If the primary is the convenient
weapon of the vicious, is it not primarily
chargeable to the neglect of the self-re-
speeding voter? Nothing will better suit
the bad political elements than the practi-
cal application of the "stay.at-home" doc
trine. The primary is the initial express
sion of party will. It is there that the
partisan voter should make himself felt.
If he replies that the vicious prevent
his expressed will being made known
and manipulate the primaries regardless
of his vote, the answer is that it is because
the mass of the party put the machinery
of the party into the hands of the bad ele-
ments, and for that act the good men OF
the party are responsible. They are SO
largely in the majority that they have the
power to correct any i'll, but the stay-at.
home policy will not work reform. II they
are not in the majority of the party, then
the manipulated primary is properly rep
resentative of the mass of the rank and file,
and the independent voter has left only the
right of withdrawal. Put so long as he
holds that the great bulk of the party is
sound, it is his duty to work reform within
the lines and give dominance to the sound
element. He should not be driven from
his party by the vicious, nor confess their
power to do it. No; the duty of the citi-
zen is to go to the primary, to see to it
that the ballot-boxes are not stuffed, that
the poll lists are not manipulated, and that
only those who vote are entitled. To do
this, we admit, requires self-sscriice, but
there is 10 excellence without labor.

ROOSEVELT will become a name to be remembered.
1t is the regalia Of the reform bill that snatches
power from New York Aldermen, and is the patro-
uymic for the New York high-license bill. The sup
port this bill receives is significant Of the trend OF
public opinion, says Harper's Weekly. The time
has passed by when it is necessary to even notice
the argument that license is recognition, and that
therefore, the only remedial step to be taken to
check an evil is prohibition. In New York public
sentiment is ready to sanction regulation through
high license, but it is not ready for prohibition.
Shalt the people, therefore, refuse to take step full
OF promise for good because it is not leap?
