Sacramento daily record-union. [volume] (Sacramento [Calif.]) 1875-1891, 1886-05-01

We publish to-day, on an inside page of
this issue, highly interesting article upon
the meteorology and climatology of Cali
tornia, collated from the pamphlet Just
issued by Sergeant Jas. A. Barwick, OBJ
server, U. S. Signal Corps. 1t will be found
worthy of careful reading and of preserva-
ton for future reference. A portrait OF
Sergeant Barwick also accompanies the
article.
Edwin Booth played Iago, with Salvini
as Othello, in New York, Wednesday even
ing, during which performance the former
was so drunk as to disgrace his profession
and the American stage. 1t is to be re-
GREETED that so eminent representative of
the dramatic art should approach such q
peroration for so successful life. and
from the almost matchless hight which he
had attained and so long enjoyed.
1t is said that Secretary Manning will re-
sign, and that the President will appoint
as the successor to the Treasury folio ''some
one who will be acceptable to the Stalwart
element OF the Democracy, which is now
so thoroughly dissatisfied" The dissatis-
faction resides in the fact that the civil
service laws are not now openly violated
and chronic place-hunters given all the
offices. If the President thinks a change
OF policy in that direction would add to
the popular estimation of his administra-
ton, after being elected by Mugwump civil
service reformers, he will do well to make
the change speedily.
DIR. Merrill, member-elect of the CITY
Board of Health, has filed his resignation
with the Board of Trustees, thus again
leaving vacancy. And now the ma
Jorlty of our City Fathers find that the
public sentiment is SO nearly unanimous
against making a change in the Health
Officer, that no physician can be found to
accept the fifth membership on the Board
and carry out the political programme in
defiance of the wishes OF the people Not
to be baffied, however, in their political
scheme, an ordinance is proposed,
to take the power of electing the
Health Officer out of the hands
of the Board of Health, where it properly
belongs. They then propose to boldly as
sumo the election of the Health Officer
themselves, as the Board of Trustees, know
ing that, without regard TO the wishes of
the people of Sacramento, and in defiance
of their protest, the two Trustees having
the job in hand can thus effect their pur-
pose. We have no concern whatever for
the political trade between Republican and
Democratic politicians in this matter. But
VIC arc CohCeI ieu III Tue enforcement OF tne
position of the Health Officer from
all political entanglements, and the
people protest against its being
now legislated into political
rut to be filled by designing politicians,
and to be used as n political leverage at
future city elections. 1t is time for halt in
this matter. If the Republican majority in
the Board of Trustees desire to utterly
wreck the Republican party in this city,
they are proceeding in the right direction
and the shortest way, by ignoring the ex-
pressed wishes oft voting strength of the
party.

IT is strange fatality which con-
tinually averts or postpones the final
judgement against CLUvER1Us, the
alleged murderer of FANNY LILLIAN
MADISON in Richmond. A few weeks
ago he was refused new trial by the
Supreme Court, of Virginia, and now
the information is current that his at
torney has made motion for a re-
hearing of the appeal before the SUI
preme Court Judges, and that this
motion will not be considered until
September next. The hearing itself,
if granted, will be doubtless appointed
for remote day, and in the mean
time the present set of Judges may
be removed by election, death or resig-
nation.

The present unpleasantness be-
tween capital and labor resembles a
disagreement between man and wife,
IN which the mutual interest of the
twain is unhappiiy sacrificed to the
selfshness and folly of one or the
other, or both, of the parties con-
cerned. It is the sort of breach
which, once openly made, is seldom
permanently healed, being always
subject to fresh outbreak upon slight
provocation, and with increased ran
cor on every repetition. But as capt.
tai and labor cannot, by mutual con
sent or otherwise, be divorced from
each other, the sooner they make
up" and get to housekeeping again
the better it will be for both.

AN ILL WIND THAT Nay BLo1
SOME GOOD. as

One of the effects OF the recent riots
at St. Louis, Chicago and Milwaukee,
is to call the attention of the people to
the fact that it is high time that the
doors to Uncle Sans domains were
shut against the criminals, socialists,
communists. nihilists and anarchists
of the old world.
America has been the dumping
ground of Europe for all those dis
turbers of domestic order that she de-
sired to be rid of, and we have pro-
claimed broadcast that "the land OF
the tree, and the home of the brave"
was broad enough and liberal enough
not only to take all these cattle in,
"but to give them all a farm" A
farm is not what they have wanted !;
they want the earth and not being
able to secure it they take the opposite
horn and propose to raise cain.
Just now in all quarters Democrats,
Republicans, capitalists and working
men are in the humor to send these
fellows to Jerico, and then forbid the
admission of any others of their kid
ney to the privileges Of American cit
izenship or even to admission on her
shores.
If the present agitation shall result
in restriction of emigration to Amer
lea, and the enjoyment of American
citizenship to only the honest, the up
right and the industrious who seek
here a home because they really love
liberty, the lives that have been lost,
the blood that has been spilled, will
not have been in vain.
Among the intelligent, industrious
adopted citizens, as we'll as those to
the manor born, there is a growing
sentiment in favor of true American
party one that will make American
citizenship SYNONYMOUS with peace,
law, order and intelligence.

A BUSINESS PROPOSITION,

The efforts that are made from time
to time to give our readers new at
fractions cost money and we look to
them for the "wherewithaP, to defray
these extra expenses. Notwithstand-
ing this has been very dull year,
The SENTINEL is to be congratulated
upon the promptness with which it's
patrons have come forward and paid
their subscriptions. There are still
few who have neglected this impor-
tant duty either from force of circum-
stances in some cases, and others from
force of habit. These readers are
just as warm friends of The SENTI-
MEL as the more systematic ones, and
can at almost any time cancel their
arrears. 1t is our desire that all our
subscribers stand on the same footing,
and to bring ABOUT this result, we
make the following offer:
We will PRESENT one of our hand
some Autograph crayons OF Governor
SCALES to every subscriber who be-
tween now and the LIST Of July pays
up to January 1st, 1887. We want
to beg in the new year Of 1887 With
clean books and we make this early
start to do it. After each account is
settled up to January LIST, it will be
no difficult matter for all of our sub
scribers to make their annual payment
henceforward as they become due. By
this adherance to. business method, we
will be relieved Of the unpleasant task
OF reminding our readers of their al
rears, and it viii. allow us to expend
more time and money and energy in
The SENTINEL, and MAX
ing it even a more popular newspaper
than its present increase in circulation
would justify US in believing it to be.

IT is no longer question, but an
absolute certainty that Mr.. BLAINE
is now fairly and squarely a candi-
date for the Republican nomination
In 1888. Heretofore it has been said
that he was not q candidate in the
true sense, but only made SO by his
friends. To-day he is fairly and open
ly in the race, and SO far appears to
have the efectual calling. 1t is GER

publican Congressional Committee,

Our fairest flowers wither first, ~
And faded leaves are left us;
Our hearts are full of bitter thirst
For sweets that are bereft u.s.
But softest hearts ere long will heal,
And sorrow lose it's singing;
While once again with joy we'll feel
The charm around US clinging.

Should darkness gather DER thee,
think not that light will ne'er return,
For hope can soon restore thee.
Be brave and true through dark and day,
And let no cloud Cypress the;
The darkest night will pass away,
And sweetest Light will bless thee.
