THE MINTNG AMENDMENT.

The San Francisco Erqaincr is disturbed
at the position Of the REcoRD-TE IoS re-
gardin5 the Gross amendment to the irri-
CATION bill, and declares that the amend
ment can give no right to hydraulic miners
TO send debris in the rivers. 1t concludes
that the REcoRD-UNroN is opposed to irri-
CATION legislation, and hence its opposition
to the Cross amendment. The Examiner
has no ground whatever on which to base
the intimation tn. this journal opposes
irrigation measures. The whole history Of
this paper, and It's steadlast championship
of all agricultural interests sufficiently an
swer for it. The REcoRD-USIoN is not at
all afraid that It's position will be misun-
derstood by farmers But regarding the
Cross amendment, we do know that it was
chanpionod by a few leading hydraulic
miners; that it is received by the people
of the valley is menace; that it is not
needed in the bill, and that if its friends
are really SOLICITORS to have it there, it is
the easiest thing in the world to couple
with it an affirmative declaration that it
shall not be construed to give license to o2-
cupy the streams Of the State as slickens
sluices. The matter is very simple, so far
as that is concerned, and the objection
raised by the REcoED-UYioN Is very easily
avoided Let the miners, if they hold with
the EJominer make the affirmative express
sion we suggest.

GIRLS UNION.

Elsewhere appears communication re-
garding the San Francisco Girls tnion,"
which should command general reading
and awaken broad sympathetic interest.
The purpose of the organization is to as
sist every true bread-winning girl" to
earn a livelihood, and 10 avoid the path
Of shame The struggle for existence
among the girls driven to earn their own
bread, it is notorious, frequently results in
their fall The aim OF the . Union is to
protect, encourage, find employment for
and surround byproper influences the very
large class of working girls. In doing this
the Society is directly doing good work for
the State. Brief as has been the existence
of the organization in California it has
proven beyond ali question that it supplied
a long-felt want, and can be made the me-
dunn for as broad, philanthropic and hu-
name work as any that can be named.
There should be branch organization in
every considerable town in the state. We
know Of no public work in which the
pure women of the land can engage with
greater propriety, or in which there is a
broader field for the accomplishment Of
great results. 1t is an effort to fit girls
for respectable employment; to aid in
training their hands to useful work to
give the friendlcss laboring woman moral
support and guardianship; to make the
class strong in itself; to put further away
want, suffering, temptation and dishonor !;
to secure better results from the labor of
the class by the aid Of training and indus
trial departments; TO put skill in the place
of ineficiency, and to secure to these la
borers the fair reward that is their due.

A SIMPLE AND JUST BILL.


A dispatch appears elsewhere giving res
olution. passed by the First Cremation So
ciety Of California, urging The Legislature
to pass Assembly Bill 10. 100, Introduced
by Mr.. Davis of Sacramento. We trust
the urgency Of the resolution will command
attention. The hiil might well be passed
under the constitutional urgency clause,
since it is in the direction of sanitary reg
uIatiou, for which there is every reason to
believe there will be need the coming sum
mer The bill is merely permissive, but 50
guarded by the power to interpose munjc-
ipal restrictions that no right can be invad-
ed under it. II simply gives cremationists
the right to practice incarceration of the
dead through the medium of crematorieS
that may be erected for The purpose by
consent Of the municipal authorities A
bill aimed at the same end WIS early intro
duced in the Senate by Mr.. Mcclure, but
it is deemed less satisfactory than the As

to-day, and sent at once to the Senate. Al

simple, wise, and economic measure will by
consent be at once taken up and passed. 1t

TONERS. The representative body of one
organization, the Turn Verein, has unani-
mously added its voice to the request, and
thus it has the backing of class of people
whose request should be granted. There
is really no opposition to the measure, and
it can only fail to pass by reason of having
so remote a position upon the legislative

A HERO SINKING.

Of course we have all realized that in
the sweep of time General Grant must
sink beneath his years. But the people
have not expected him to decline so rap
idly as the dispatches assure us he Is now
doing. If half is true of the account OF
his physical ills he is not long for this
world. With the sufferings of the nations
hero the entire people sympathize. We
are told that this is no time to recall his
errors and frailties; no, nor was any other
the time. for his services to men blot out
all personal weaknesses. He is a man as
are Others: it has never been claimed for
him that he was less fallible than the av-
erage man. His business ventures have
proven his incapacity for trade or specula-
tiion: his Presidential career demon
stratcd that fidelity to friends may not
ALWAYS he a virtue, and that great fitness
for the field and the command of armies IS
not of necessity fitness for civil admins
tratiye posts But when all this is said it
is to be borne in mind that the very quail
tiles so conspicuous in what may be
termed his failures were the identical
qualities that pre-cminent!y made him the
mighty military chieftain he was. fidel-
itv to trusts; untiinching courage; indom-
tia persistence in attaining an end once
resolved upon; perfect self-abnegation !;
the total absence of selfishness; unwaver-
ing adhesion to disciplinary methods
these made General Grant precisely the
man the nation needed in its hour Of peril
lie was developed to meet the pressing
necessity Of the hour; raised up to fill a
place only such as he could occupy; fitted
above all others to accomplish the results
to which he was called. He saved the ma
ton from disruption by his consummate
military skill, and by his patriotism ard
courage made the North American repuh-
lie thing for the ages to come. 1t Is
fitting that to such savior of nation It's
people should pay lofty honOrs, and ex-
tend in the hour of his affection the
warmest sympathy. He stands among the
great Americans Of history among the
great Generals of the worlds records ;
among the great patriots of time and if
he is, as stated, passing rapidly down the
slope to the threshold Of the unknown, his
last days will be days of mourning among
the pee lie of the fairest nation God has

A LAME EXCUSE.

The San Francisco Chronicles legislative
correspondent makes a lame attempt to
excuse himself from having led that paper
into a sad error regarding the appropria-
ton asked to aid the State Board of
Health in resisting the assaults of cholera
and yellow fever should, as is feared, these
pests ass; the State. lie declares that
the item in the bill provides that the fund
is 10 he used to establish quarantine
"stations.7 Very true. Just As they were
established inland upon The Mexican and
Nevada borders on two recent occasions,
through the generous aid of the Central
Pac;ic and Southern Pacific Railroad
Compaaies-the Legislature having left its
Executive practically powerless to aid in
the work. Had the Chronicle examined
the report of the State Board of Health, it
would have seen that maintaining ruaran-
tine stations" during 4 time Of danger
and the purchasing OF permanent quaran-
tine grounds are two very distinct sub
iects. In the report, the very ground
needed is pointed DIT, and map of it
accompanies the report, hut no suggestion
is made for purchase by appropriation OF a
specific sum to be expended 10y the Board
or any one else. If the State locates per-
manent quarantine grounds, it will do so
through, probably, commission to value
the site, aad will then probably condemn
it to public use. Had the Chronicle exam
ind into the question at all, it
must have discovered chat the State
Board Of Health cannot seize grounds,
nor yet purchase them without an
enabling Act specific in its de-
tails The State should have permanent
quarantine grounds with ample quarantine
hospital service. On this there are no two
opinions among medical men. It is
simply inhuman 20 coop up passengers on

Government Is TO provide place where
they may be taken from the vessel, re

cisco is that some one fears fat Offices in

WILLING To SHovEL.-F'ifteen years
ago Young man of good education went
from the East to one of the far Western
States to seek his fortune, or rather to
make it, He found himself in the capital
without friends or acquaintance, and with
not much money. He applied to one of
the leading business men for employment
The gentleman asked him few questions,
then told him that he knew of no vacancy
where lie could turn his education to ad-
vantage But if you are willing to
shovel said he "you can work cut my
read tax for me, and will pay you a dol
lar" The offer was accepted, and the
next day the young man went out on
the public highway and worked
side by side with Cinnamon and
other common day laborers. At night he
presented himself to his employer, and the
latter handed him silver dollar, then
said to him: " | have Il log camp up in the
mountains; if you choose to go up there
and work with the men getting out logs,
will pay you good wages" This offer was
promptly accepted also, and for several
weeks this young man, fresh from college

see how the work was progressing. Just
before mounting his horse to return, he
said to our young friend, "There is to
be 4 competitive examination next week
among the applicants for the place
of head teacher in our city schools. You
might come down and stand your chance"
This hint was not lost on him. When the
examination opened he was on hand, and
though the competition was long and Sc
we're he won The next Monday school
opened, and he assumed his new duties
with the energy and thoroughness which
had heretofore characterized him. At the
same time he began the study of law and
continued it until he was admitted to the
bar. During the years that have passed
since then he has risen step by step in his
profession until now he has practice
amounting to thousands of dollars year,
and fills a high place of public honor and
trust. He still retains the silver dollar
which he received for working on the
road, and is proud of the memento of the
time when he was willing to shovel
