INTERVIEWS with leading people OF
hydraulic mining organizations in San
Francisco are reported that indicate effort
on the part of such influences to secure
notifications of the bill prohibiting the
washing of mining debris into rivers, evil
IDENTITY SO as to permit hydraulic mining to
proceed according to old methods. And it
is said Senator Hearst is pledged to labor
to this end. 1t will be well for the friends
Of valley interests to be alive to this
menace. The one thing needed is to save
the inavigable rivers from the destruction
thatmenaces them. and the prevention of
the washing of mining refuse into them
that auglnents that threat, must be accom-
plished.
We ought to congratulate ourselves that
Sacramento proposes to keep up with the

sorrowful Scenes at Belfast.

By telegraph
BELFAST ireland, June 12th.-The
scenes attending the funeral of the victims
of the recent riots were very affecting. The
women walled and the men sobbed. The
crowds along the funeral routes were the
largest seen here for many years. There
was no disorder The police and military
stood in pretty close file all the way with
loaded rifles. The public subscribed liber-
ally to defray the expenses of the funeral,
and handsome balance will be divided
among the relatives of the dead. A num-
Der of rioters have already been convicted
and sentenced to various terms of impris-
onment. one to seven months at hard
labor. Troops continue to arrive in large
numbers. The Coroner's jury in the case
of Mary Reilly, one of the victims, re-
turned a verdict of willful murder against
the police. who fired into the mob at
the Bowers Hill station. The Orange
Lodges of Ulster have been instructed to
suspend drilling during the excitement in
Belfast.

THE LONGEST DAY.-The longest day of
the wear occurs on the 21st of this month.
1t is an event that takes place only once a
year. The sun rises that day at $50
o'clock in the morning and sets at 7:25 in
the evening yet no steps have been taken
toward celebrating the day. Indeed, it is
not definitely known that Governor Stone
man has declared his intention to make it
a legal holiday. 1t is true that Tennent's
Almanac gives the same figures for the
rising and going down of the sun for three
DAYS succeeding the 21st, but the great
weight of authority is to the effect
that the 21st is a fraction of a
second longer than any other day of the
year-enough to satisfy the Governor
that he would make no mistake III setting
apart that day. Think of it, here is the
whole month of June without a holiday !

In tbe stomach develops an acid which stings the upper part of the throat and palate, causing "heartburn." It also evolves 8 gas which produces "wind on the stomach" and a feeling and appear ance of dIstension in that organ after eating. For both this acidity and swell ing, Hostetter's Stomach Bitters is a
 much better remedy than alkaline salts, like hartsho-n and carbonate of soda.
 4 wineglassful of the Bitters, after or before dinner, will be found to act as 8 reliable carminative or preventine. This fine specific for dyspepsia, both in it's acute and chronic form, also prevents and cures malarial fever, constipation, liver complaint, kidney troubles, ner- vousness and debility. Persons who ob- serve in themselves a decline of vigor should use this fine tonic without delay.

ssOUIDAn ON WOMEN.
The Great Female Novelist Dissects
Her Sex McrcilessIy.
North American Review

North American Review.
AS we again and again see the woman
expecting from her son the purity of man
ners of a maiden, and making no account,
because she ignores them entirely, of the
imperiOuS necessities OF sex, SO we should
see her in matters of national or universal
import similarly Designating or ignoring
all facts Of which she chose to take no note
Science. indeed, presumes that in ed
ucating her it would strengthen her reason
ing powers and widen her mind into the ac-
ceptance of true liberty. But what proof
is there that science would do anything OF
the sort? 1t has never yet showed any true
Iberality itself.
The woman Is the enemy of freedom
Give her power and she is at once des-
pOtic. The enormous pretenSions to
the monopoly of mans life which women
put forward In marriage are born of the de-
sire to tyrranize. The rage and amaze
ment displayed by the woman when a man.
whether her lover or husband, proves in
constant to her, comes from that tenacity
over the man as a property which wholly
blinds her to her own faults or lack of
charm and power to keep him. A very
clever woman never blames man for in
consistency to her; she may. perhaps.
blame herself. Women as rule
attach far too great value to them
selves. :! A virtuous woman is
above rubies. has said Solomon; but this
depends very much on the quality of the
virtue; and the idea prevailing among
women that they are valuable. admirable
and almost divine, merely because they are
women, is one of the most mischievous
fallacies born of human vanity and ac-
cepted without analysis.
In marriage. moreover. the influence of
the woman, wherever popular prejudices
plead to the contrary, is constantly belittle-
ing and injurious to the intelligence of the
man. How many great artists since the
days of Andrea del Sarto have cursed the
woman who has made them barter their
heritage of genius for the pottage of worldly
affluence?"
