young lady came here from Chicago to pro-
cure proof of her marriage, which, she
claims, toek place here last summer She
did not remember who performed the cere-

the proofs she wanted. She says the mar

with her husband. He died in February,
leaving 5000 life insurance to bis wife, and
she now wants to prove her claim to the
money. Parties here remember the lady,
and the fact that the marriage was to be
kept secret, the groom having informed the
bus-driver of that fact

when death shall close all contention, the
nation cannot more honor itself than by
again relating the hero of its salvation to
the army, once SO proud to acknowledge him

To refuse to do it viii be to testify to the
ingratitude of republics. In these days
we should remember only Grant the sol

mile-posts of centuries that nations are

are not ungrateful to such defenders.

The action OF the citizens of Eureka Hum

might learn 20 their advantage. What aroused
the Eureka people to action was the sad cir

wounded IN the foot, probably Gripping him

WHAT MIGHT BE.

1t IS such state of affairs as needs radical
change when legislation assumes the
form Of a choked drain-pipe That is pre-
cisely the condition Of legislation in the
two Houses now in session. There are at
least twenty worthy bills that should pass
that are not likely to be reached, even if
they get to the file, asd several good
measures have not. even been preached.
This situation is due to two causes, the
iron-bound rule of our absurd Constitution
requiring all such legislation to be gem
eral; the anxiety of about every member
to introduce bills, under the delusion that
it viii be received by an admiring con-
stituency Is evidence OF lively interest in
the welfare of the dear people. If the
two Houses could rise to the level of great
public good and each appoint culling-out
committee, they could sift the seven hun
dred bills and select, say twenty topics
that the public need demands shall be leg
islated upon. The bills on these could be
grouped, and in the remaining twenty
two days legislation could be accomplished
On the whole, and with as much wisdom
and certainty of right action as if a week
instead Of day were devoted to each bill
This might necessitate early and late
hours-the addition of at least three hours
more to each legislative session, and a good
deal OF work in the committee of the
-whole, but il is possible. And if this
should he done il would prove the capacity
OF the Senators and Assemblymeu for once
to rise superior to mere party ends. and
would send them home to q constituency
so gratIfed that a return would lie assured.

prove Of highest sanitary Importance to

/. WHEN Beecher fails to draw a $50 house
for fifty cent lecture, and that in the
city Of New York, it may be fairly con-
sidered as fiat rebuke to the eccentric
genius of an able man who has permitted
himself to be used to iniure the friends of
his political household The necessity of
dismissing the audience must have stung
the great preacher to the heart, and he
probably realized, for once in his life, the
terrible punishment that resides in the
peoples scorn. Assault would have re-
newed his popularity, but cold neglect Is a

The San Bernardino Times says that it is
proposed to convert the Hemmet valley. in
the San Jacinto range, into a reservoir
The valley is situated at an elevation of
some 5000 feet and has a drainage area of
250 square miles, over which there is a
heavy rainfall, which escapes by the San
Jacinto river. By building a dam at the
fall can be stored for summer use and the
means. The dam would be about 100 feet
in hight and $50 in length, filling a narrow
gorge which drains the valley 1t could be
erected at an estimated cost of $4,000.

PAINFUL RUMoR.
A rumor prevailed at the almshouse
grounds late tonight that some forty of the
most violent patients were. confined
on the upper floor, and all persisted.
This rumor could not be traced
to any authentic source, and it is believed
by the attendants questioned in reference
TO it that the patients in the upper floor
were all rescued, and will be accounted for
IN the morning, or as soon as the prevail
ing confusion and excitement subsidies.
The buildings were erected in 1880, and
were only partially insured.

IT will be little less than calamitous if
there is failure on the part Of the Legisla-
tuue to invest the proper authorities with
power to provide adequate inland quaran-
tine stations, and enforce quarantine reg
ulations upon the borders of the State, for
resistance to the assaults of cholera and
yellow fever. Experience has proven that
the public may in very large degree be
protected by the wise exercise of power to
challenge the passage of those who come
from infected outside points. Our State
Board of Health should be given ample
power for that purpose, and be provided
with an emergency fund sufficient to en-
able that body to make its orders effective.
In its recent report the Board refers to the
Act Of March, 1883, giving it the power to
quarantine inland travellers, and appropri-
ating $500 to the use of the Board for that
purpose Small as that sum was, it was of
material aid TO the Board in the quaran-
tine work in which it was compelled to en-
gage The Board asks that at least $4,000
be set aside for use in case of need in pre-
venting the introduction of contagious or
infectious diseases 1t Will certainly be
granted. 1t is a request supported by the
weightiest of reasons.

THE KHARTOUM MASSACRE.

The meager details of the massacre at
Khartoum are sickening to the last degree
1t is difficult to conceive of human beings
committing such atrocities who recognize
a God to whom they are accountable. But
religious fanaticism is in fact at the root
of these barbarities fanaticism of the
same character that has led more civilized
races to butcheries and outrages scarcely
less revolving. Mr.. Sala is reported as
saying that England will take a terrible
revenge upon the Arabs. Probably not
England will be quite content if she is
able to even partially control the Soudan-
csc. She cannot justify any revengeful
acts by the outrages committed by the
fanatical followers OF Mahomet Ahmed
The only revenge possible 10 her as a
representative of civilized nations, is the
general oppression of the people in the
Soudan, in which the innocent would
suffer with the guilty, and which acts
would not be in line with her policy of
securing the pacifcation of the territory
and its submission to the authority of the
Khedive.
