For the past ten days speculation has
been rife as to who would be awarded the

Hon. Henry 5. Walker is TO be appointed
by Governor Wilson as Secretary OF State;
that is settled and there are some who are
very angry that 1t has been settled that
way, MIR. Walkers chief clerk will in all
likelihood be Senator John i. Floyd, cred,

probable. Eventually it Is understood
that D. Clint Gallagher, ESQ, Of Charles

Our Imperilled Rivers.

EDS. RECORD UNION The discussion of
this important question of the duty and
obligation of the Federal Government TO
preserve inviolate the free and unobstructed
navigation of our rivers, involves the para
mount question of the rights and interests
OF the citizens of our whole Union i'll free
navigation upon all Of the water courses in
the United States. The organic laws of
the Union demand that Congress shall
Ieglslate for the public welfare of the peo-
pie. llence, as 4 natural sequence, all
laws opposed to the public welfare are un-
constitutional and are absolutely void
The Federal Government never possessed
the organic right to sell large tracts of the
public lands and also to permit the debris
from hydraulic mining claims TO be dis
charged into the natural channels OF our
navigahle rivers, to obstruct and destroy
their free use for purposes of commerce.
Our navigable water courses are not the
property of the State, but of the people of
the United States, and the duty of the Gen
eral Government is to protect, not to de-
stroy, or permit to be destroyed, the rights
of the people.
1t is not alone the citizens Of California,
but OF the whole Union, who have q direct
igation of the Sacramento, San Joaquin and
their larger tributaries. 1t was the imper-
ative duty of the Federal Government to
restrain the hydraulic miners from destroy
ing not only the free navigation of the
Sacramento, but also to prevent them from
imperiling the valleys of the Sacramento
and San joaquin, which are now so seri-
ously threatened with destruction by filling
up the beds of the rivers by mining debris
There is but one solution to this question
The Federal Government has unlawfully,
and in violation of the spirit of the organic
law, unjustly deprived her citizens of their
inherent rights and privileges. The ques-
ton which here presses itself upon our
people is this: viii the Federal Govern
ment come to our aid? VIII our Senators
and Representatives i'll Congress urgently
demand of those bodies the necessary aid
to avert the impending complete ruin of
our navigable rivers, and restore them and
make good the rights of the people-the
| whole people-as far as now possible?

ANONYMOUS Letters.

There is probably not a newspaper Office
in the land that is not in constant receipt of
anonymous communications of various
kinds. As general thing they are mali
cious thrustS at somebody's reputation, or
setting forth statements which have no
foundation in fact. III a properly con-
Quoted office these letters are promptly con-
signed to the waste basket, where they re-
pose, evidence of some mans cowardice or
meanness, alongside the harmless spring
poem and the machine-made joke, which
are the tangible results of the weakmind-
edness and cnnceit of the human race.
Rarely, very rarely, they creep into print
and the aim of the writer is attained. Such
a letter is one of the gravest insults which
can be offered to an editor, and it is rather
remarkable that it is not more frequently
resented. The writer says, in eject: " I
wish to use you and your paper
to crafty my personal spite or vanity
but | have no confidence in your
honor; therefore | don't sign my
name" This is probably the true state
onimity \ man who has no honor him
self, has no confidence in the honor of any
one else. He is incapable of understand
ing the feeling which would prompt a
newspaper man to go to Jail rather than
divulge the sources of his information, as
the piucky reporter did in Rochester few
weeks ago. Utterly cowardly and con-
| temptible, he viii attempt to stab man in
the back if be has an opportunity. and
| will as soon play dirty trick upon the
editor who serves his ends as upon the
| person or persons he attempts to iniure in
his communication. There are but two
explanations for q sane mans writing an
anonymous letter. One is that he is a
coward and fears to meet the result which
his work will cause. The other is that he
is liar and knows that the statements he
makes can be disproven to his own dis
grace The Journalist

EARLY Music in America.

The PuritanS were our first musicians
They had in England ransacked organ gal
leries, burnt music books, and dissolved
choirs, but iii this country they introduced
congregational singing, brought over their
psalm tunes, and for seventy years the set
tiers of Plymouth used the psalter of
Henry Ainsworth, of Amsterdam. The
second book printed in British America
was the Bay psalm book. in 1910, which
went through seventy editions. Rev.
John Cotton, a graduate of Oxford, who
had removed to Boston from its namesake
place in England, argued in favor of solo
singing, and of women Joining in the lead
ing parts John Cotton, therefore, was the
only Cotton that ever was king about Bos-
ton, and the big organ in that city is one of
his poSteTity.
However, only about ten tunes were
used in New England in the first ninety
years. The very art Of singing ran 50 low
that the preachers themselves, who gener-
ally led the progress of their denomina-
tions, became frightened. In 1928 a
preacher named Symmes published book
prefaced with the motto, "Of ali beasts
there is none that is not delighted with
harmony bat only the ass" One of the
points he had 10 combat was that the
names given TO the notes were bawdy and
blasphemous. The congregations, how
ever, long resisted their pastors, and the
pastors often had TO lead the psalms, while
few OF them had any pretenSions to music.
Down to our great rebellion the same
antipathy to music continued through a
large part of the Christian church, and to
this day musical instruments are forbid
den in the houses of the Dunkers and some
other sects. The first revolution was tC
have singing-schoOls; as the Puritan pc
riod faded away persons of more cultiva-
ton joined the American colonies. Play
ford was the first musical writer used in
this country, and our earliest musical COM
pliers stole from him. Rev John Tufts
published the first American singing book,
with thirty-seven tunes in it. Rev Thomas
Walter published another, eleven years
later. Two other books were published at
Newburyport and in Philadelphia, the lat
ter not long before the revolutionary war,
with 142 subscribers, and the book ruined
him. 1t contained the first American COM
position on the ninety-seventh Psalm, by a
schoolmaster of New York city named
Tuckey
Paul Revere, of Boston, engraved the
music for Josiah Flagg's collection in 1864,
on Alnerican-made paper. This Flagg had
band of music in Boston in 1773, and had
fifty performers in some of his concerts in
Faneuil Hall. For good while the dea-
cons and preachers, too, bullied the choirs,
the deacons wanting no music at all, and
the preachers wanting better ersinging.-[Cin-

CHEYENNE (Wy. t., September 18th
Three of the Government Directors, Gen
eral Z. p Alexander, NJ. A. Hanna and
James w. Savage, are at Rock Springs in
vestigating the circumstances attending the
late outbreak. They gave hearing yester-
day to the Committee of Citizens who had
previously presented their case to Mr..
Bromley, the representative OF the company.
The case was presented in much better
shape than upon the former occasion, and
the cases of complaint were made more in
telligibe and clear. Nothing new, how
ever, appeared as To the alleged grievances
against the Chinese, or against the employ
erS of the miners. The same rule was OBJ
served with regard to the circumstances i'm
mediately connected with the outrages, all
the witnesses refusing TO say anything
whatever concerning the attacks upon the
Cinnamon and the burning of their quar-
tiers. The examination was chiefly con-
Quoted by Judge Savage. who was materi-
ally assisted therein by Mr. Hanna, who is
himselfa mine-owner and familiar with the
subject of the miners grievances. Every
opportunity has been furnished the citizens
and miners 10 present their grievances.
GovERYNENr ASSISTANCE ASKED FOR.
The Government Directors decided, upon
the facts as shown, to send the following
dispatch to Secretary Lamar
The undersigned, Government Directors of
the Union Pacific Railway pursuant to law re-
port that we have made an investigation upon
the spot into the alleged outrages recently oc-
curing at this place, and we find such condi-
ton of affairs here as, in our opinion, endan-
gers the property of the road, jeopardizes the i'll
tereSts of the Government and calls for prompt
interference. We therefore deem it important
that full authority should be given the proper
officers to afford ample assistance to the man
ayers in their efforts to protect the property OF

already in the diggings, ,-and more on the
way. The season is rather advanced, but
the weather has not yet interfered with oD-
eratlons. The miners are reported to be
making $500 per day. The creek is staked
off for three miles from its mouth. Bench
and hilfdiggings have just been discovered.
Making allowance for exaggeration of the
report, it is undeniable that rich diggings
have been found
