MIR. BoGGs REsURRECTEp.

In the spring of 1888 this journal OPP
posed the election of w. NJ. Boggs, of
Napa, as State Inspector of Fruit Pests.
That opposition was based solely and only
upon the manifest incapacity of Mr. Boggs
to discharge the duties of the office. We
made this so clear by proofs, and by the
admissions of Mr.. Boggs himself, that the
press of the State took up the matter, and
in the interest of the fruit-growers de-
manded that Mr.. Boggs resign, which he
did. 1t was an unpleasant task that this
journal undertook, and it did not look
upon the result of the agitation, shat had
its genesis with it, as a matter of triumph
over Mr.. Boggs, to whom it had no per-
sonal objection whatever. Since the re-
signation which was thus brought about,
there has been brought to our attention
nothing whatever to lead us to change our
opinion concerning Mr.. Boggs' fitness for
the place. He Is not to-day any better
qualified for the duties of the office than
he was when he first aspired with greedy
ambition to fill it. He may have studied
the subject somewhat since 1883, and may
have given much of his time to entomo-
logical reading. But assuming that he
has, he is still unfit for the position The
duties of a pest inspector can be well dis
charged only by one who has had expert
ence in the field; who has had much
experience in fruit culture in this State
and has made a practical study of the
pests that assail fruit interests in Califor.
MIA. This experience Mr. Boggs has not
had. But it appears that he has never
lost sight of the office and its two hundred
dollars month, and now his ambition
has been gratified by election for the
second time to the important trust He
should remember the verdict of the people
IN the first instance, and again resign. A
modest man, who had been so held up to
criticism as was Mr. Beggs, wouli not again
present himself for Office. 1t is very sad
to think that in the Judgment Of the State
Board of Horticulture there is no other
man than Mr.. Boggs whe can be chosen te
fill the Office. 1t is sad 80 reflect that 2
position werth two hundreddollars month
should so go begging, that such an un
qualified person as Mr.. Boggs must b
chosen to fill it. Is it possible that amens
the practical fruit-growers and the quail
fed entomologists of all the land, none cas
be found to contest the place with Mr.
Boggs? 1t is probable that other reasons of
social eharaoterfargely actusted the Board,
for Mr.. Boggs is persistent; he is one o
the Pio1eers, aud some of the same elias:
of worthy people st on the Board. They
have a fellow-feeling for the Argonauts
and being set upon by Boggs who is him.
self a member of the Board, they yielded,
and Mr.. Boggs, who does not tire Of saying
that he fought for the country in /" the
good old days." is at least rewarded for his
persistency, and the State is once mere in
ficted with filling" for an Office, instead
of compentency such as the law contem-
plates.

MORE ABOUT THE WATER SUPPLY

An offer was made to the city yesterday
that came with suddenness. \ water COM
pany proposed to furnish the people with
ample supplies of clear, pure water from
the mountains for $4,000 per annum.
This is $1,000 less than any offer yet made.
If these companies keep up their competi-
ton in bids, Sacramento will be specially
favored. The last offer made is reported
in our local columns with particularly,
and will interest all taxpayers and house
holders. There is no question whatever OF
the great benefits that will inure to this
city from the introduction of mountain
water. 1t will stimulate manufacturing
interests greatly. For, under the PROPOSE
ton OF either company, there will be such
pressure assured that water-power will su-
pensede steam, and greatly cheaper the
cost OF operating mstive power. 1t will
make this q desirable point fer manufac-
lures, that are now unknown here. Water
brought frGm the mountains will also en-
able large tracts of land adjacent to the
city to be irrigated and brought under cul-
tivation in small lots, which are now prac-
tically non-producing. We shall thns aug
ment the contributing population, and in
crease the supply business of the city
Indeed, with the introduction of mountain
water at heavy pressure, We shall witness a
new growth in the industries and general
business prosperity of Sacramento. 1t is
now simply question which of the two
companies will give the city-all things
considered-th best bargain.

Rumsey, after week s trial, the jury be-

of riot. This is the first and only convic-
ton in the Squak Chinese murder cases.
The seven men concerned therein were
each indicted three times for murder in the
first degree, and once each for riot Two
trials for murder occupied three weeks
time, and ended in acquittal. The third
trial for riot ended, as above stated, in con-
viction. The extreme penalty for riot is

postponed to the next term of the Court.
