BRIDGES ABOVE AND BELOW WATER.

The President is anxious that Congress
shall legislate to prevent bars being
erected across navigable streams in the
shape of bridges that impede navigation
Well enough. But the doctrine of nom
interference with navigation of inland
waters applies also to the construction of
other barriers than those known as bridges
If it is desirable that no obstruction be
placed across navigable streams above
water, how much more important it is
that Congress legislate to prevent perma-
nent bars being put into navigable streams
below water, which can be removed only
at vast cost, and which threaten the total
destruction of the channels of such streams.
That is the condition in California where
hydraulic mining is a menace to the
integrity Of the chief rivers of the State,
and is heaping up burden that will
presently be so great that not even the
Federal Government can cope with it or
lift it from the commerce of the State.

THE REASON WHY.

A French astronomer claims to have
made a successful experiment of COM
municating with "people on the planet
Mars. On great plain in Italy he con-
structed certain mounds, so as to form vast
squares, triangles, etc, which asked the
question, Do you know the theorem of
the square of the hypothenuse ~ He
claims to have received an affirmative
answer. The Current remarks that only
few years ago, whoever would have dared
to make such an announcement would have
been judged as insane. Yes, or burned as
hereto to churchly astronomical faith.
But is the reason that which our con-
temporary suggests-that so many Won
derlul things have been witnessed by this
generation Of men that they have ceased
to doubt the possibility of any announced
claim of great accomplishment Men
wonder no less than in ages past. They
doubt more than ever before True. thew
have seen so much of the wonderful that
they might well cease to be interested in
the marvellous; but their intelligence has
kept pace with discovery, and therefore
the interest IN the new and wonderful is
relatively to the present state of the minds
Of men what that was TO those of past ages,
Sacramento daily record-union. [volume] (Sacramento [Calif.]) 1875-1891, 1885-12-12

which was in fact not at all wonderful, and to
usis as the simplest things. That is to say,
discovery moves upon so much higher
plane now, that the most wonderful dis
covery is no stranger to us than was the
simplest advance in science to those Of
even the recent past. The reason why men
and women are in danger of neither prison
walls nor the stake for any claims of dis
covery, is, we take it, because of the toler-
ant state of civilization. Nothing has
grown more rapidly or spread more broad
ly than the principle that there shall be
tolerated to men the right to think and
speak and believe as they choose. The
idea of liberation has broadened and tenn
pered the world of thought. 1t has lifted
men up and out of the narrow ruts of sell
fishness. 1t has broken down the rigors of
creeds, and the inhumanity of religious
zealots. 1t has taught men that there is
nothing for which another should be con-
demned in the claim to know this, that or
the other thing, that may not yet have
been revealed to all the world Men doubt
more, but they accord more of right to
their neighbors. We do not express our
wonder at the revelation of the French as
tronomer, because it is no longer crime
for men to announce a discovery, contrary
to accepted discoveries, theories and doc
trines. We consider the Frenchman's
claim supremacy absurd, of course, but
there the consideration of it ends.

The threatened resignation of Justice
Ross has revived interest in the debate as
to what the salaries of Judges should be.
Our rule would be to so fix them as to in
vite to the bench an order of ability that
will dignity and elevate it, and give
greater character and certainty to the de-
cisions of our Courts. To so fix the salary
as to make the Judge independent of other
gains, and remove as far from him as pos
sible the temptation to abandon the bench
for the bar. We should thus secure a
corps Of Judges who would fix themselves
upon the bench by virtue of their recog-
nized excellence, and would be lifted above
the political field in great degree, and
made independent of bosses, rings and
conventions, and never reduced to the ne
cessity of abandoning the bench in order
to gain needed income for their families.

SAYS the San Francisco Call: "The pro-
position to inaugurate a system of recla-
nation to apply to the navigable waters of
this State, where their navigability is
threatened, will be considered, probably, in
the Committee on Appropriations. If this
committee is composed of Eastern men, or
men from any section of the country who
have not made the debris question an es-
pecial study, the proposition would not be
fairly considered. Apart from the fact
that the members of the committee have
no especial reason to please the people Of
this coast, is the fair assumption that they
have no adequate conception of the mag
nitude of the impending danger" That is
very true. We ought to have representa-
tive on that committee, and possibly will

The action of the meeting of citizens of
Sacramento, on Thursday night, relative to
the Chinese evil, was temperate, firm and
wise. The resolution of the meeting to
conduct the agitation through the medium
of organization was wise 1t is only by
union of effort that anything can be ac-
complished in this matter The declara-
lions of the assembled citizens that they
discountenance any and all things looking
toward disorder or violation Of law, or the
infringement of the rights of life, prop
erty or personal safety, have the right ring,
and express the true sentiment of this peo
pie. Now let us see if performance keeps
faith with promise. No reforms are ac-
complished by the popular method of
meeting and resolving" If anything
practical is done it will call for much of
self-sacrifiee, and will put to the severest
test the sincerity of every man who de-
clares that he wants the Chinese to 90.
We trust that action will be had, and that
1t will be prompt and embrace the whole
community, and that Sacramento will be
the first point of departure in the State
toward practical solution of this vexed
question. The Chinese we do not want
longer with us; nor do we want more to
come among us. The best action, while
Legislators are considering what can be
done by the general Government, is for
this people on the Pacific coast to with
draw their support from the Chinese
When it is no longer profitable for the
Chinaman to reside here he will go, and
that so speedily and effectively that we
will have much less concern what Congress
does in the premises.
