our thanks" observed the editor of an
Arkansas paper in his last issue, "to the
members Of the Gallusville cornet band

play for shucks. and the music would have

If II is really desired to suppress the lottery
business in Oakland, let the Council pass an or
dlnance making it misdemeanor for any one
TO have lottery tickets in their possession There
Is such an ordinance in San Francisco and
there is no reason why there should not be one
IN Oakland.-0dkldnd Enquirer.
What will the passage of the ordinance
effect unless enforced? What probability
Is there that it will be made effective.
when your officers cannot, or will not
enforce the State law prohibiting dealing
In and advertising lottery tickets? In this
city the dealer enjoys immunity from ar
rest, and therefore to punish the pur-
chaser would be farcieai and the hight of
injustice. To erect a new statute to
reach the buyer of lottery ticket, while
the State law explicitly points out the
seller as the offender against the States
statute, would be a strainiag after effect
unworthy of any municipal legislature.
What farce it would be, to be sure, to
clap the holder of lottery ticket into
prison by virtue of municipal ordinance,
while the man who induced him to buy
keeps open shop, without fear of Interrupt
ton by the law of the State.

Il Timely Waroine.

The Secretary of the Pacific Insurance
Union has sent out circular to insurance
agents, from which the following extracts
are made:
THE recurring anniversary of our Ma
tional independence makes it necessary for
us to again remind the agents of fire in
surance companies, as well as the general
public, of the great danger which will al
ways attend the use of fire crackers and
works, and of the imperative import
anee OF adopting precautionary measures
to prevent fires in all places where the use
of these dangerous explosives is permitted
We call upon agents in the cities and
towns lmmediately to take steps to ascer-
tain, by actual trial, that their Fire Depart
ments, fire engines, hose and water supply
are in condition for prompt and effective
use. Petitions should be presented to the
proper authorities, to rigidly enforce exist
ing regulations on the subject, and, where
necessary, adopt such additional safe
guards and precautions as Will likely to
prove most effective in averting peril 10 in
surance capital, and needless destruction of
property.
The citizens at large should be requested
to have hose attached TO faucets on their
own premises, rs well as barrels and buck
cts filled with water. in readiness to ex-
tnguish incipient fires. If the latter pre-
caution is taken by every householder or
storekeeper, the danger of serious fire will
be greatly lessened'

A CLEAN CAMPAIGN.

Corporal Tanner says: "This is to be
clean campaign, with personalities elm
mated and scandal an unknown quantity"
Let US hope that he is prophetic. 1t will
be clean campaign if the self-respectlng
journals of the land so decree it, With
them the whole matter rests-as for the
scurrilous sheets, they can be left to the
mercies of a discriminating public Let
the publishers of the daily papers that
claim to be opponents of public thought
and run fair, open-handed, square-dealing
newspapers resolve that their columns
shall not be made sewer pipes for the car
riage of they says" "rumors and other
scandalous matters that Satanic malignity
conJures up in these periodical political
revolutions, to crafty the vulgar taste and
to poison the general mind against candi-
dates. 1t is not so much men in these
contests as it is what is behind and I'M
DERIVING them; their frailties are not in
issue, nor yet their surprising virtues, but
the principles for which they stand, the
following they command, the thought
they represent. The campaign personal
assaults against lives that have for long
years commanded respect and have gone
unscathed through much public service,
may, in ninety-nine cases out of a hundred,
be set down as malicious fabrications, and
the weaponry of cowardice and malignity.
If against all such the decent press per-
emptorily closes its columns, there will be
found n" avenues for their transmission
that will command any considerable public
hearing. 1t comes to this, then, that if we
do not have clean campaign in 1888,
free from scurrility and assaults upon char
acter, the press will be chargable with the
failure.

STATE eoNgrAReLARY AGAIN.

A correspondent suggests that some
where in the State local officers may have
the third man suspected of the murder of
John Lowell in FL Dorado county recently,
in confinement, or under surveillance,
awaiting the offer of reward Nething
is known to us to justify the suspicion, and
we do not therefore give it any credit.
But this we do know, that scores Of times
in the history Of the State that method to do
the pocket kindly turn has been adopted
by peace officers. 1t is toe notorious fact
to be questioned by any one. The value
of its statement now is in the side light it
throws upon the interesting debate con-
corning State constabulary. 1t must be
clear to any intelligence that so long as
there is no one authority specially COM
missioned to pursue criminals within TIE
State, and without, if need be, their
capture must be dependent upon the
activity or laziness, the capacity or inca
pacity of about six hundred peace officers
scattered over the State, each operating
independently of the other and without
any or very little concert OF action, and
rarely with any harmonious plan of work
If now we had half dozen State Con-
stables located at widely separated points
in the State, and under direction of a
Chief at the capital, the moment the reve-
lation was made that a great crime was
committed and that the criminal had
escaped, the State Constables would be
fully informed of the facts, and each in his
district would be at work so placing the
agencies of capture that escape of the
criminal from the State would be almost
impossible. These Constables would
by the law be authorized to re-
quire all peace officers to operate
with them, and render them all
possible assistance within their respective
jurisdictions; they would not be tempted
to wait for rewards, because their employ
ment would prevent them from receiving
any emoluments of office outside of the
salaries paid them by the State. They
would operate in harmOney, under one
central direction, and by quick communi-
cation with all local officers would speedily
have the entire forceo of Sheriffs and county
constables, Chiefs of Police, Marshals, de-
tectives and patrolmen working harmoni-
ously and in the right directions to effect
the capture of the fleeing criminal Under
this system no Sheriff would be put to the
necessity of advancing money for the ex-
penses of pursuit with the attendant risk
of ever Icing able to secure its return from
the State or county. However viewed, the
question of setting up a force of State
constables presents itself strongly in favor
of such action by the next Legislature

A PROGRESSIVE TOWN.
Woodland has Added TO Her Many At
fractions q Splendid Park

fractions a Splendid Park.
Beyond dispute Woodland, with its 5000
population, is one of the most progressive
towns in the State. While it has not been
carried aloft on the wave of any wild,
ephemeral BOOM" such as has proven
detrimental to many southern towns, it has
been and still is enjoying steady, perma-
nent growth that constantly adds to its ma
terial worth and prosperity. The latest
accession to the town are the recreation
grounds known by the title of EAST
Park. This move long desired by the
people of Woodland and affords resort
that Is destined to become popular not only
with the Woodlandites but with neighbor-
ing towns and cities whose people delight
in Sunday excursions and pleasure. The
park is located just outside the CITY limits,
east of town, and its dimensions are
900 by 500 feet. The grounds have
been leveled until they assume an almost
perfect evenness. The entire Enclosure is
surrounded by tight board fence eight
feet high, on level two feet high.
The arrangement of the park is all that
could be desired, and is designed to be per
feet in all its appointments. The Enclosure
is already completed, and a grand stand on
the amphitheater plan has been erected in
the northwest corner. immediately in the
rear of the diamond. The music stand and
the refreshment quarters are located near
the entrance, the former being capable of
seating about $50 persons. The grand
stand, with elevated seats, is capable of
seating about 1000 people. On the east
side OF the park will be dancing platform
100 by 90 feet, eight feet high, with a
skating rink underneath. All the stands
and platforms are to be under cover, and
the entire grounds are to be surrounded
with walnut shade trees, which have al
ready been planted. Besides baseball other
attractions are to be provided for. A
quarter mile track for foot and bicycle
races Is to be made in the park; also, tar
get for the military company and grounds

THE WOODLAND GUN c11rR

For pigeon-sRooting, etc. The entire
grounds are to be lighted by electricity,
and one of the night attractions. during
campaign times, will be public speakings.
Although not quite completed, the park
was opened on Sunday, and while the only
attraction was baseball game between
amateur local clubs, the whole town turned
out, in that way manifesting their appre-
ciatlon OF the enterprise. Already the
manager, Greene Holliugsworth, has re-
ceived overtures from baseball cinbs of
Marysville, Dixon, Sacramento and other
places to come and give exhibition games,
and the enterprise has revived the local
interest in baseball and athletic sports.
Woodland people generally feel proud Of
their neat park, and look upon it as the
latest acquisition of local enterprise.
