Clergymen for School Superb tendents.
EDS. RECORD UNION Your editorial
against clergyman being Superintendent
of City Schools commended itself to me in
the main. Your reference to possible cam
didates among the ministers of the Presby-
terrain, Episcopalian and Methodist
churches leads me to ask space to DENY
that | am such a candidate neither do I
know of any Presbyterian or Methodist
minister who would for moment think of
such thing. We have not, however. sur
rendered our political rights, by deyoting
our lives to the ministry, and are entirely
eligible TO such an Office, and as fit for it as
| any other class of citizens and certainly
| not in Sacramento would the election of a
! clergyman be of the slightest moment as
affecting questions of church and state. 1t
is matter of expediency only. and gen
orally speaking, it is inexpedient for minis
tiers of the gospel to fill civil offices or en-
| gage in secular business. Indeed, the min
| lister of large parish could not do so with
out ne5lecting his duty. Respectfully,
yours, HENRY Ii. RICE.

the case of George eastman VS.. The Anna
dor and Sacramento Canal Company ct al
came up before Judge SAWYER in the United
States Circuit Court, San Francisco
| Plaintiff asked to have the defendants
owners of hydraulic mines on the Cosum-
mes river, enjoined from operating them.
because of the damage alleged to be occa-
stoned by their debris. and brought suit
| in the United States Court on the ground
of his being an alien-a Canadian. Judges
Rhodes and benson and r. T. Devlin ap-
peared for the plaintiff, and Judge McKune
| Tor the defense. The defendants held that
the real plaintiff was the county of Sacra-
mento, consequently that it was not bona
I fide case, and introduced contract entered
into between the Board of Supervisors and
Mr.. eastman as evidence of the fact. The
other side maintained that the fact that the
county of Sacramento, being deeply inter.
ested in the result, had agreed to pay the
expenses of the suit, did not deprive
eastman of his standing in Court. Judge
Sawyer, however, agreed with the defend
ants, and dismissed the case for want O
| jurisdiction.
