CONTEMPORARY EXPRESSION.

THE conviction of the two principal culprits
in the firm of Grant & Ward will go far to re-
store confidence in the efficiency of law and of
its administration. The law has now been put
to the test and it is found that rascals who make
away with other peoples property voluntarily
placed in their custody must needs be very care
full of their steps if they would avoid the State
prison.-TNew York Post
A WARNING to some people is conveyed in the
remarks of the President to the effect that his
plan of giving civil service reform the greatest
possible usefulness, "involves the removal of
Stumbling blocks from the way of good men

PENRYN NoTEs-A correspondent at
Penryn says The farmers in this section are
jubilant, as the late rains have put the
ground in excellent condition for blowing.
The new NJ f. Church was dedicated at
this place on Sunday, November LIST. The
church was crowded to its utmost capacity
at the service, which took place at 10 A. NJ.
The ceremonies were conducted by the
pastor, Rev. n. K. Peck, assisted by the
Rev. w. A. Johns, of Roseville. The
choir, by the way a most excellent one,
sang the beautiful anthem, &" l was Glad
and l Will Extol Thee" The leader of
the choir, t. L. Herbert, is a thorough
musician, and deserved credit for his
efforts, which resulted in getting so many
excellent voices. A collection was taken
for the benefit of the church, which re-
suited in $500 being raised Considering
the size of the village, this was handsome
contribution, and all present after the
services were over departed for their homes
well pleased with thework of the day.

est. A racy letter by "Nasby" ap-
pears among our selections, which
deserves to be read by all. A re-
view of Bancroft's histories of this State
considers the scope of the works, their au-
thoritative character and the STYLE of the
author. A Department of Household
Matters, one for the Young People, a paper
on Farm Finance, Scientific Notes, the
popular Sunday Easy Chair department, a
charming story, "The Love Cure" and
other miscellany appear In addition will
be found FoOthill Letters from Placer and
Amador counties, and other interesting
articles. When such paper as the
REcoRD-UNIoN is thus taken up and in
dexed, it is surprising to see what a wealth
of instructive and interesting matter is
presented in single day.

THE CIVIL SERVICE BOARD.

We are assured that Colonel Trenholm,
the new Civil Service Commissioner, is
sincere friend of the system, and will labor
for the full development of it. 1t was not
thinkabfe that President Cleveland would
appoint even lukewarm man to the posi-
tions Trenholm is South Carolinian, a
man of high ability and very broad ex-
perience in public life. He is esteemed an
honest and incorruptible man. The
Charleston Ners is quoted as saying of
him: Colonel Trenholm believes firmly
in the principles which were sought to be
applied to the public service in the law
and regulations now in force. But he is
no dreamer, and will take, we are conf
dent, a thoroughly business-like view of
the matter, seeking always substantial re-
suits of public value rather than the graft
fication of an idea Nobody of any sense

To-DAY'S RECoRD-UNION. ;

We seldom indulge in special invita-
lions to draw attention to the excellence
of the columns of the REcoRD-U MON.
They speak for themselves, and bear suf-
fcient testimony to the claims of the Jour
nal as the best family, business,
news and general paper of the interior.
But we take occasion this morning to draw
attention to the excellence of the pages of
to-day's RECoRD-UNIoN, and the variety
which addresses the taste of the general
reader. There is, for instance the usual
ample quantity of home, Eastern and for
eign telegraphic dispatches, from the best
and broadcast news agencies of the world.
The local pages are up to the best stand
ards in the character and variety OF local
current news presented. The market and
commercial reports are of the usual order.
In addition to the customary variety of
iscellany-reading matter for the fire.
side, the Office and the study-there will
be found our New York letter, the news
quality of which is especially striking
and the method of relation, concise clear
and attractive. Our letter from Mexico
will be found of more than usual interest.
and to be of character that holds the
readers attention steadily, and awakens
desire for further epistles from the facile
pen OF the accomplished correspondent
There will be found an admirable article
on the Great Seal of the State of Cali
fornia," by Hon. Win. j. Davis. 1t is
historical in character, and possessed of an
interest that attaches peculiarly to all
California historical records. 4 bulletin
from the State University on "Seed Dis
tribution and New Plants will be found
of value to agriculturists, and cultivators
generally. An illustrated article on the
wholesale trade of Sacramento, and ex-
pository of the business of one of the lead
ing firms of the city, is one of series
of like character, which this paper has
arranged to present during the winter. 1t
Is not an advertisement, since the pur-
pose Is to make the papers comprehensive
and illustrative of the commerce trade
aud industries of the city in all their
phases, the aim being to direct especial
attention to leading branches This can
not be well done in general way, and
hence we adopt the method of taking up
specific representative houses, and what
ever there is of advertising value to those
selected is their gain, the greater profit
being broadly general to the whole trade
Of the city, while to our readers through
out the whole country the papers will

IT has been shown that the time now
and then comes when large body of men,
divided in view, and by severe lines as to
the best means to be employed to accom-
plish business end, can come to agree
ment by reasoning methods, and by mutual
concessions 1t has been said that the
average American cannot be convinced
that he is bull-headed, and all that. But
the fruit-growers of California have given
us a splendid example of the powerful
factor reason is among reasonable men.

in part quoted, that those ineligible to ex-
ercise the right of electors shall not land,
and the duty of policing incoming ships is
given to Commission acting under that
Act, it would seem that there would be an
end to the Chinese question. We cannot
conceive that Eastern Congressman could
raise any foroible objection to including
among the prescribed classes those who are
ineligible to become electors of the State.
Where such eligibility is conferred we can
trust to the revolution in public sentiment
that is steadily advancing, applying the
remedy of modification.

NOBLE GIFTS.

Charles Croker has given the handsome
sum of S3l 900 to the building fund of the
Boys and Girls Aid Society, and Senator
Fair has furnished the building site These
are gifts that do high honor to the donors
They are in the right direction. The So
ciety aided is doing work that the State
ought to do, and which it can still engage
in with great profit to society. In fact, the
association is one to prevent the making Of
criminals. 1t does not set up home
which has the stigma Of a quasi-penal in
stitution attaching to it, but its "refuge"
is a receiving depot for unfortunate chill
dren whom circumstances are making
vicious, and who would else develop into
full blown criminals, to become the terror
and the charge of society as convicts
From this place of reception the children
are sent out to homes secured for them.
The society keeps watch and ward over the
child, even after this, and does all that
encouragement, kindness, firmness and re-
ward can do, to direct the steps in the
right path and to develop the better part.
1t very infrequently fails, because it does
not start out with the idea that the only
thing to do with an offender is to so brand
him that society will ever after shun him.
Its idea is to make good men and women
tout of material as yet but slightly corrupted
and that is so fresh and plastic, that it can
be nodded by right conservation of its
natural impulses where manly and true,
and their subjugation where vicious and
bad. Wealthy men like Mr.. Fair and Mr..
Croker do their fellow men inestimable
service when they aid sincere efforts to
prevent the making of criminals

THE colored men in Maryland who cast their

No ONE dreams of the conviction of the
men charged with conspiracy at Seattle
The public sentiment is that while these
men acted unlawfully, their act was in the
direction of the spirit of the Restriction
Act. The Chinese unquestionably in large
number are unlawfully in the country,
having been Struggled over the British
border. Where there is such a sentiment
as prevails in and about Seattle the con-
viction of men charged as these are is i'm
possible. However humiliating it may
be to confess that at certain points the laws
of the land are as broken reeds, still the
fact remains. The people are the fountain
head of all power in this land, and there
is no means known by which they can be
compelled to convict those who act in a
sort of revolutionary spirit of which the
people approve.

THE New York public has had taste
of Chinese methods. On election day a
Chinese restaurateur, on very public
street, in broad daylight, in his place of
business, was hacked to death and his head
beaten in until there was nothing left of it
resembling part of the human form. 1t
is known that Chinese did the deed. The
peculiar method employed makes it GER
tain that to them is chargeable the hor-
rible crime The Eastern papers have not
had much to say about the matter, further
than to give detailed and sickening ac-
counts of the finding of the mutilated
body. Now, had that murder happened in
California, and have been committed by a
white hcodlum of foreign or of native birth,
how the sentimental papers of the Atlantic
would have narrowed up the agonies about
California persecution of the Chinese.

wants anything else but an administration
of the law for substantial, good results to
the public service. The Commission is not
given power for experimental purposes, or
the fostering of untried ideas of policy.
For civil service reform has passed out Of
the experimental stage. 1t is settled
principle of political economy, and only in
the application of it in all fullness is it as
yet wanting in this country. The friends
of the reform, and of good government, we
believe, have reason to feel that the Com
mission as reformed, will be as faithful
and as honest to the reform, as was the old
board.

A SOUTHERN journal proposes that the
people of the South take up the Grant
monument business, and rebuke the people
of the North by booming it. Well, why
is it that the people of the South have not
taken it up on principal long ago?
Is it necessary that they should
be moved by spirit of censure
that indicates desire to punish
the North? If they are to subscribe to
Grants monument fund only to rebuke
the North, they confess to a mean and
ignoble spirit. Now, the people of the
South are not mean and ignoble. We
assume, therefore, that the Louisville
paper does not correctly represent them
when it calls on Johnny Rebs" to put
the North to shame. Really, is the South
part of our common country or not? To
believe some of the Southern editors, one
would be driven to the conclusion that the
South is separate, distinct and rival

IT is leaking out that the American
public has been deceived as to the real
feeling of the English people on the mat
ter of the prosecution and punishment OF
Mr.. Stead. The cable lines are known to
have given but meager reports of the facts
of the trial and the state of public senti-
ment. 1t has been believed here, despite
the apparent apathy of the British public
on the subject, that the burden of public
sentiment is with Stead. The English
heart is right on the question, but the
English Magistrates, nobility and London
police are evidently determined that the
effort of the man to break up an infamous
system shall not succeed.

THE Alta advises well when it tells the
liquor men to hesitate long, and consider
well, before they take a positive position
against the high license system. 1t points
out with clearness that whisky must live
as an outlaw. 1t must be always subject
for special burdens. 1t always will be con-
sidered luxury. So the advice of the
Alta to the liquor men, we say, is wise,
when it tells them to beware of the temp
tation to refuse to occupy a conservative
ground that may give them a foothold.
The liquor dealer, it points out, ought to
see the value to him of license so high
that it will be felt as an investment. Where
the license is forfeitable if adulterated
liquor is sold, it has still higher value to
the liquor dealer, and equally as high a
value to the people of the community.
