gable stream, and its use as.such should be pre-
served for the people The National Govern
ment takes charge of harDors ana naVlgaple
streams. II has Appropriated money 10 improve
the channel of the Sacramento river, and VIII
certainly appropriate more when it is clear that
the work performed will be of permanent bene-
fit. The Courts seems to us the proper authority
to declare that hydraulic mining must cease.
The CourtS INTERPRET the law and declare the
equities of the case. When their mandates are
persistently disobeyed the Government OF the
United States appears behind them.
1t is clear that the sentiment is rapidly
growing that the Government should be
appealed to to announce its intention to
begin the salvation of the river, and make
its decree that mining slum must not be
turned into it any longer. In the mean
time the people should continue their in
vocation of the law through the medium
of the Courts, and so, we repeat, both good
works go on together.
Has it occurred to our esteemed contem-
porary, the Cal, that if its position is
southland it certainly is-that the peo-
pie of the whole State, and every county
in it, is interested in keeping the river and
bays navigable, there is no escape from the
conclusion that it is the duty of all the
people to contribute to the cost of trials in
Court which the Gail insists must be done?
e Isn't" it little rough that the peo-
pie of three or four interior counties
should be forced to furnish all the money
necessary to make the appeals to
the Courts? Does not the suggestion
emphasize the demand for general and
earnest appeal to the Federal Government
to heed the cry from Macedonia?

A LIE OF MILLIoNs.

The New York Herald, with looseness
regarding the truth that would shame the
devil, exclaims: The Navy Department
has spent $500, 100000 to make good
navy, and now we discover that the navy
is" as it says, "good for nothing" The
truth is that the entire sum appropriated
since the close of the rebellion to the year
1883, not including the contracts with
Roach for four vessels not vet completed,
and which the Government will probably
not accept, is just $3,20O,O0O. The COM
parison of these figures leads the Chicago
Inter Ocean to ask: VIII the mendacious
and INSCRIPTIONS Herald have the honesty
| to publish this correction of its falsehood
for the benefit of its gulled and misguided
readers?"
Let not our Chicago contemporary
worry; the Herald will not take it back.
So little a matter as a 1896, 100000 lie is
nothing for it. It's big" Journal, and
must needs deal in big" figures The
fact, as the Chicago paper has taken pains
to prove by searching official records, is
that in the time indicated we have spent
less money upon a navy than the smallest
of the nations of earth The following
| figures show the sums expended by various
nations in twenty years for naval construc-
