WHAT necessity exists for the passage of
the bill concerning the construction of
debris dams? The miners now possess the
right to conduct hydraulic mining so
long us they do not send down the streams
the debris that results. But to say that ii
shall be lawful to make the rivers carriers
of all mining matter the water will hold
in Suspension is to give broad license,
and one that will ruin the rivers in their
lower reaches, since it is an undeniable
fact that the matter now clogging the Sac
ramento river from the junction of the
Feather river with that stream to It's
mouth, is matter that was carried in suspen-
sion. The matter that has clogged the
American river to Sacramento is that which
came down in suspension. The Cross bill
will reopen the whole hydraulic mining
question, and in our opinion will give
license to fill up the tributaries of the
Sacramento river, choke the channels of
the latter with sand carried over the pro
posed dams, and work the destruction of
bottom lands. The right to take and use
the streams fer the purpose Of hydraulic
mining cannot be justified so long as that
Use will work their destruction. The
Legislature should long reflect upon the
bill now to he brought to discussion, before
it ventures to reawaken doubts concerning
the possibility of habitations in valley
lands, that must follow the experiment pro-
nosad

The CHEAPEST WAY-The Boston

100000 to kill an Indian. To train and
educate that Indian for period of five

AN EXTRA CONGRESSIONAL SESSION.

We do not indulge in the apprehensions
expressed in some quarters that an extra
session of Congress will be unpopular with
the people simply because it may be called.
If an extra session is ordered, the popularity
of the body will depend entirely upon
what it accomplishes. Thus far Congress
has done very little. There is much i'm
portant business that should be disposed
of, and the verdict of the people will de-
pend upon the method of disposal. The
American public is not unreasoning. 1t
does not condemn its representatives out Of
hand, but judges them very fairly and
according to the measure of that which
they accomplish for the common good,
If the new President finds the public bust
ness in such condition as to demand i'm
mediate legislation, we believe that he has
the necessary firmness to convene Con-
gress in extra session, and that he will not
permit party considerations to intervene
in the matter. As the business needing
attention presents itself to US, we do not
see how he can avoid issuing the call.
