The San Francisco Tax Roll.

Auditor Strother, of San Francisco, some
days since forwarded to the State Board OF
Equalization the following letter: :" On the
18th ultimo l received from your honor
able Board notice that, on the 10Th ultimo,
you had ordered the entire assessment roll
for 1885 of this city and county to be in
creased by adding 12& per cent. to the valu-
alton OF all the property listed therein, etc.
A copy of said notice acknowledging SER
vice upon me was duly returned to your
honorable Board. | hereby inform your
honorable Board that, under the advice OF
my counsel-Messrs. DOYLE, Galpin &
| Scripture refuse TO comply with your
notice, and respectfully request you to take
Immediate steps to test the question"
| AT the meeting of the Board Saturday
| the letter above quoted was read, and, after
brief consultation, the following letter
| was drafted and sent TO the San Francisco
| Auditor:
The State Board of Equalization re-

question.

whenever and Wherever

Diseases of a choleraic type prevail, or there
is cause to apprehend visit from them, the
system should be toned, regulated and rein
forced by course of Hostetter's Stomach
Bitters. Perfect digestion and a regular
habit of body are the best safeguards against
such maladies, and both are secured by this
inestimabe tonic and Alternative. The Bit
tiers are also extremely serviceable in rene
dying such disorders. If promptly taken
in bilious collie, diarrhea and cholera NOR
bus, the disease is usually frustrated. In
diarrhoa cases, it is only necessary to re-
store the tone OF the relaxed bowels, and
this is one of the specific effects of this
medicine. Wind on the stomach, heart
burn, biliousness, nausea, headache and
other symptoms of disturbance in the gas
trio and hepatic regions are also speedily
relieved by this excellent remedy. AS d
family medicine it is invaluable, since il

ailments which are of most frequent oc

ANOTHER LIFE SAVED.

Mrs. Harriet Cummings, of Cincinnati, Ohio,
writes; Early last winter my daughter was
attacked with a severe cold, which settled on
her lungs. We tried several medicines none of
which seemed to do her any good, but she con
tinued to get worse, and finally raised large
amounts of blood from her lungs. We called in
a family physician, but he failed to do her any
good At this time friend who had been cured
by DR.. WIN. HALLS BALsAM FOR THE
LUNGS advised me to give it a trial. We then
got bottle, and she began to improve, and by
the use of three bottles was entirely cured.

EvAPoRATING WATER FOR SoDA.-The fol-
lowing is furnished by the Hayo Lndepe,,d-
em:
Since the portable engine was received at
Owens Lake the work of evaporating the
water for soda is going on more vigorously.
As soon as vat is filled the engine is
moved to another and the water is left to
evaporate from the one that had been filled.
After all the watts have been filled, the en-
CINE will be moved to the first one again
and more water will be pumped in to take
the place of what has evaporated. In this
manner they will keep reflling the watts
until the soda sediment in the water accu-
mulates in the pit until it reaches the sur
face. 1t will take about one year to get
crop of soda by this method, which will
bring S35 per ton in the narket They ex-
pect to gather fifty tons of soda to the acre
every year. The number of watts will be
increased continually until they have a
sufficient number to hold an area of $4,000
acres of soda, the income from which will
be nearly 100000, annually. Extensive
works will be erected on the shore of the
lake for refining purposes.

AN Iowa Judge said the other day from
the bench that but for the housewives
there would be no tramps. He added
that the woman who feeds tramp should
be sent to Jail for thirty days. That mans
passion got the better of his good sense.
The tramp nuisance is due to idleness.
perversity of nature, to real want, to the
overplus of laborers who can do but one
thing, to whisky, to our miserable prison
system that turns the convict out without
means of subsistence-to several other
causes, all of which lie at the root of the
errors of our society. But to say that
women shall repress the natural instinct to
help the needy, because they cannot al
ways discriminate between the worthy and
needy one, and the loafer and imposter, is
absurd.

REFERRING to the historical charge that
Jefferson made compact with the FEEDER
alists, and that he faithfully observed it,
the Oakland Express cites the agreement of
President Cleveland with the Independ-
ents as parallel. But the parallel ceases,
1t holds, when it comes to the filing of
offices, for Jefferson never gave Tory a
place of any kind. 1t would thus have us
infer that Cleveland has not been equally
loyal to his party. The difference is, that
Cleveland is pledged to the enforcement of
civil service policy that is determined by
the law, while Jefferson was not thus
bound. 1t is not a question of loyalty to
party, but to the law of the land, and the
faithful enforcement of the same.

DIVORCE.

In the local account of a recent shooting
ARRAY near this city recently, it was stated
that the man who was shot had, with his
wife, not long before, gone to the office OF
lawyer, where an agreement was arrived
at that the husband and wife should be
divorced. That one of them should apply
for judgment dissolving the bonds of
matrimony, and that the other should of
fer no resistance in other words, practi-
cally confess judgment How far the attor-
ney may have been a party to this contract
is not stated but it is umdeniable that a
great many such contracts are made. and
that the lawyers in the cases are generally
cognizant of the fact. In every case of this
kind the law is not only evaded but fatty
broken. If it is legal to enter into these
agreements, there is an end of the sanctity
of the marriage relation, and men and
women can disengage themselves from the
state atwill, and the Courts be practically
powerless to prevent it. Marriage under

cubinage, and divorce another name for
polygamy and polyandry The theory of
the law is, that there shall have been no
collision for a decree of divorce; no con-
donation of the ofiense charged; no sort of
an agreement to put up a case. Yet it
Is safe to say that one-third the divorce
cases are "put up and that the attorneys
in the cases know this to be the fact. The
law is itself at fault. 1t does not require,
as 1t should, such showing as viii posi-
lively negative the suspicion that there
has been any collision between the par
ties. This is, we admit, very difficult
thing to accomplish, but it should be pro-
vided for more eiiectually than under the
present system. Take a case where adult
cry is charged; ii is by no means required
TO be proven as an actual fact but will be
assumed to have been consnmmated when
certain conditions are shown-as vista

lions that it is perfectly easy for parties to
an agreed divorce to establish by conniv-
ance If there is to be any check put upon
the abuse of divorce, the parties must
berequired to prove their sincerity beyond
all question: and to aftirmatively establish,
by the oath of the complainant and of the
attorneys in the case, that it is not an
agreed cause, that the testimony is not the
result of an agreement to manufacture evi-
denee, that there has been, in fact, nc
putting up of a case upon the Court

bushels per acre. fit were once generally

The New York Tribune has commenced
the publication of the names of prop
erty owners who rent buildings to tenants
for unlawful and infamous purposes. As a
goodly number of these landlords move in
good society and assume to be patterns of
morality, the revelation of the sources of
their revenue is creating degree of social
excitement that is of a nature which polite
society seldom experiences. There is moth
ing libelous in such publications, for they
are transcripts of recorded facts and plain
business transactions. Such publication in
the city of San Francisco, we are inclined
to believe, would raise decided breeze.

MINING AcTIvITY.-The CaIareras C7tron.
icIe says:
We understand that Colonel Robinson
has sold the Bryan mine to DR.. Z. Dom
nelly, OF San Francisco. Dir. Donnelly will
immediately put on force of men and
take out ore. He will lease ten stamps at
the Boston mine. The mine is LOOKING
exceedingly well, and we have 10 doubt
but that the doctor has secured a valuable
property. The signs of the times indicate
That there is a growing activity in quartz
mining throughout the State. We feel
confident that =" Old Calaveras" will lead
the procession, for within her borders are
some OF the best mines to be found any
where. The OnetO mine, near Middle
Bar, and on the Calaveras side of the river,
lying between the great Nevill Bonanza
ana the Gwln mine, was sold YESTERDAY. we
are informed, to New York parties The
price paid we did not learn, but we suppose
it was goodly sum, as the mine is under
stood to be very extensive in low grade ore,
besides rich streaks of black metal such as
the Neylll contains. A number of mining
men have visited our town this week, civ
ing evidence that our county has attractive
features in her mines. We saw some very
Tine specimens of quartz found in the Hazel
Den quartz mine at the head of Nelson
Gulch, near Railroad Flat and owned by
d. Lampson & Co. An attempt has been
made to prospect the vein in former years,
but the results were not encouraging and
the work was abandoned Recently d.
Lampson went into the old works. Strik-
ing INTO the wall of the old tunnel he made
the discovery of vein of rich quartz. the
width of which has not been ascertained.
The former prospectors had run alongside
of the true vein. The quartz is what is
known as ribbon rock" and shows a great
deal of free gold.
