The San Francisco Bulletin publishes an
article written by w. w Hobart, Ex-C Con-
holler Of the State of Nevada. concerning
special deposits made with State Treas
urers, in which he says
THE depositing of State moneys by
County TreasurerS in the vaults OF the State
Treasury, pending the semi-annuai settle
mentS, is 4 great convenience, if it can be
done safely Perhaps California can bene-
fit by a leaf from the State of Nevadas
experience. In that State. fourteen or fif-
teen years ago, a State Treasurer embezzled
S1G0 goo of State funds, and was able to hide
his peclllations for a long time because he
appropriated only such money as came into
his hands on special deposits, placed there
by County Treasures pending semi-annual
settlements and by the land officers. In
other words he pursued pretty near the
same course as young January. AS these
moneys went into the State Trcasurer'S
hands without the order or knowledge
of the Controller, that officer could
give the State Board of Examiners
no information in regard to them, and
the State money of record in the Con-
troller's office was always on hand when
counted by that Board. After the defalca-
ton of this Nevada official, ii was pro-
vided by law that all these special depos-
its should be paid into the State Treasury
on the order of the State Controller, and
the State Treasurer should be held officially
liable for them. The Controller of the
State is, therefore, now able at any time to
give the State Board of Examiners in
formation as to the exact amount of money
that should be in the State Treasury,
whether in apportioned funds or awaiting
apportionment on settlement. The money
paid in by County Treasures in advance of
settlement (the money taken by young
january, is ordered by the Nevada Con-
troller into what Is called, for convenience
The County Treasurers' Settlement Fund,
which is balanced, when the regular settle
msnt is made by transfers TO the regular
fund. The system has worked splendidly
for twelve years in Nevada, and there IS no
reason why it should not work as well in
California. at any rate, were it in force
the State Treasurer would be liable on
his official bond for the embezzlcment of
his deputy, and large number Of honest
men who (as they believed) had paid money
for which they were responsible into the
State Treasury, would be relieved from
trouble and loss. Ali that is needed is q
law authorizing such payments on the
Controllers order.

Fire in GuaYmaS.

GUAYMAs, November 16th.-At $50 last
night Guaymas was startled with the clang-
ing of the church bells and the cry of fire.
The Merceria de la Paz, Messrs. Seldner d
Won Borstel, the largest hardware and
fancy goods house in Guaymas and having
stores all over the States, was discovered to
be on fire in the main retail department.
A crowd soon gathered, but no water was
to be had. and sand dirt etc, was used to
stop the flames. In the room where the
fire occurred not less than 800 pound OF
cartridges were stored, and to Messrs. Mead
and Farragut, of the railroad company,
and Y NJ Hellivier, are due the praise of
removing them. at the risk of their lives,
through the fire, thereby avoiding the de
struction of the entire block. The origin
of the fire is supposed to be the breaking OF
patent match safe. which fell among the
papers under the counter and burst forth
in flames after the store was closed at 9 P.
NJ. The estimated loss is $4,000, covered
by insurance in an English company. A
strong northwest wind prevailed, and The
prompt work of some of our American fire
bows prevented catastrophe. Several of
them were seriously burned.

DOES any other work grow so tiresome
as writing?" asks Ida NJ. Harper in the
Terre Haute Mall. "The article which must
be furnished every day, or every week, be-
comes a veritable old man of the sea, for
ever clinging about your neck" Which
proves, Ida, that you know very little about
it. Writing, like any other work, should
be performed for love Or duty. If the first
favors it, happy is the laborer if the latter
only, proud should he be of ability to per-
form. We have come to the conclusion
that these people who forever bemoan the
state of life that gives them each day the
same duty to perform, are lazy. Their
stimulus to action, evidently, is variety,
and whoever makes this the motive power
of his doing confesses to lack of ballast. To
the right-mindcd it is a grand tri-
umph to be able to discharge each
days duty. What matters it to such
that the tools of to-day are those that were
used yesterday? But, after all, the Harper
syllogism is error, for the major premise is
each day. Every morning opens to him
new vlstas. The worlds topics are ever
varying in form and color. Yesterday is
forever dead in the light of to-day This
day is new, and the thought of this hour is
its child. In truth, writing is vocation in
every essential the opposite of the tread
mill. When it grows tiresome to him, the
writer has ceased to be lover of his art,
and the sooner enforcement the better
There is no class of people, we are ready to
admit, that so persistently complain of the
so-called everyday grind as writers on
the press. BUTT is also true that this same
class has less belief in the genuineness of
the complaint tlan any other people in the
world 1t is a case of tears shed to win the
luxury of compassion.

LET no one make the mistake of under

Possibly, III the past But in this day, in
a republic, the beat of the national heart

time for the steps Of progress, religion,
science, art, civilization, free thought and
free government, and not all the political
demagogues in the land can check it, nor
all the machinations-how the Democracy
mouths that word nowadays--of threaten
ing politicians can prevent its steady beat

be worked out, no matter who is

you hear of such cases daily, but nine
tenths of them are never brought to light.
1t is vice that stalks your streets in dark
ness and gathers in the unsuspecting
youths at midnight. The employer would
tremble if he knew where his confidential
clerk passed his evenings, and many
q parent would pass sleepless nights of
anxiety if they knew the associates of their
sons. The gambler is a man dead to
society. The only reason he is not buried
is that the Health Officer has not done his
duty. Their worthless carcasses should be
buried twenty feet deep, and their graves
covered with chloride of lime. They
should take with them in their coff'ns the
license issued by the city authorities. They
should clutch the license in their hands
and present it at the Judgment seat, show
ing that their crime was licensed in Sacra-
mento. If there is no hell there should be
one, and think there is, for the torture of
these human parasites. | hope they will

The temptation should be placed ont of

1t is monstrous, a disgrace to our peo-
pie, and is fast driving to the

young men who otherwise might grow
to be useful members of society. He said
1t was hot the penurious and lazy young
man who fell an easy victim to those pit
falls; but the genial, industrious. liberal
and large-hearted. The speaker then made
strong appeal to the young men in the
audience to come TO Jesus, where they
would find rock of ages and haven
where they would be free from all the
snares and temptations he had described

triuniphed in the choice between men. The
success of the Democracy rests upon very
narrow margin Its electoral advantage is
one exceedingly small. The party comes
into power crippled in its ability to work
out its special purposes. The Republican
Senate is an obstacle in its path simply in
sr1rmountable. Besides, the Democratic
preponderance in the lower house of Con-
gress has been much lessened. The Repub-
lican party has as many Republican States
as ever, and has encroached upon Demo-
cratic dominance in the South.
The Democratic party comes to the
White House with the eyes of the world

promises. 1t has for twenty years been the
party of opposition; the discoyerer of
grievances the assumed healer of national
ills. 1t is now to be put upon its mettle to
