TWO CANAL SCHEMES.

proposition is made to cut a canal to
connect the head of Lake Michigan with
the head of Lake Erie. The plan is to
start from Lake Michigan at the mouth of
the Grand Calumet, and run Just north of
the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad to inter-
sect with the Maumee river near where
that railroad crosses it, and then improve
the navigation of the Maumee to Toledo.
If the scheme can be carried out, which
we much doubt being done in this century,
it will give a new waterway of the utmost
Importance. and almost wholly cut off
"around the lakes" transportation.
But it is not a new project. We re-
call when it was preached before vet
an Eastern railroad had reached Chicago.
OF course it would amount to very little
unless made ship canal, and that would
invole an immense outlay. In crossing
the low marsh lands of northern Indiana
a system Of embankments would
be necessary, that would involve
immense outlay and consume in
construction great length of time. How
ever, the commerce through the proposed
waterway would be enormous, despite the
fact that the canal would be parallel to a
dozen lines of trunk railroads. 1t is pos
sible that at some time the scheme will be
carried out, but the Chicago Times, while
approving it, thinks it must remain secon-
dairy to the plan to unite the Mississippi
river with the waters of Lake Michigan
by way of the Illinois river, and make the
way capacious enough for all river craft.
That too is an old and pet scheme in the
West, and while it may not exceed the
fist in Importance, it is certainly its
peer. Should such waterway be
opened-and the cost viii not be
fourth of the canal eastward
it would be possible for vessel to leave
New Orleans, ascend the Mississippi to
point not far above the mouth of the
Missouri, thence make the transit of the
State of Illinois to Lake Michigan at
Chicago, and thence by the Great Lakes

The Placer Herald publishes a 12-page
New Years edition, and devotes much
space to the upbuilding of Placer county.
The paper is an excellent one and will aid
in the good work of making known the
opportunities afforded homeseekers by that
section.
The Los Angeles papers all had special
holiday numbers pertaining to the re-
sources of that goodly section of the State.
The Times gave its readers 16- page edition,
illustrated. The Herald contained 80
pages of statistical matter, resources, bio
graphical sketches, etc. The Express also
had 16-page illustrated edition. All of
Newspapers were meritorious and valuable
to the section they represent.
The San Diego Union contributes its
share of good things for the New Year, by
issuing to lis readers fine 16-page paper.
devoted to the interests of its bailiwick,
the news of the day, and literary subjects.
The Pasadena Union gave that delightful
part of southern orangedom a good new
years greeting in a well filled 16-page issue
designed to show that the universe revolves
around that place as its common center.
San Jose was well presented to the world
by its holiday newspapers. The Herald
issued fine Christmas number in special
quarto form, and the Mercury came out
with splendid "a page edition on New
Years. Both are effective publications

There is but one reasonable and practicable
method of reducing the tariff, and that is
the repeal of the internal revenue laws.
With these laws out of the way, there will
be deficit instead of a surplus in the treas

good by reduction of the customs duties.

When the Spirit Leaves the Body.

To the question, by whom and in what
manner is spirit clothed Immediately fol-
lowing its transition from its earthly
body? the following answer was received
from the other side of Jordan, according to
the Banner Of Lght, at a seance recently
held in Boston: The spirit, in closing its
period of mortal discipline, is withdrawn,
SO to speak, from the physical body slowly
and by degrees. If the transition is made
in accordance with natural law, and the
physical body goes to decay, either under
the condition of disease or from that of age,
the spirit begins to withdraw itself at the
lower extremities, slowly loosening its hold
upon the physical forces and organs, grad
ually emerging from the body, until the
last degree of vital life has teen taken
from the upper or brain portion of the sys-
tenn. Emanating from every pore and por-
ton of the physical body is magnetic
aura, which might appear to the clair
voyant eye as 4 yaporous, though attenu-
ated substance. and this magnetic aura or
spiritualized substance forms the material
of which the spirit body is composed. This
spiritualized substance contains within it
self all the elements of vitality and power
which belong to the thinking man they
have been part and portion of the
physical body; they have given life, ami
nation and activity to that corporeal
frame; but now they are withdrawn to
serve new purpose, that of constructing a
spiritual body for the habitation of the
life-principle or the soul of man.
1t is not work of hours for this spirit
ual body to form, for it may enter into
composition and come into semblance and
shape within few moments of time
Especially is this so if the spirit Is sud
denly hurled from the physical body
through some accident. These magnetic
emanations, gravitating to their own
proper position, coalescing with each other,
form that body of which we speak; the
man becomes himself again, is made whole,
so to speak, and presents to the external
eye of those who gaze upon him in his
arisen might the appearance of man full
grown, active and powerful, just as much
as he did when clothed upon by the gar
ments of flesh in his days of activity

Snow in Amador.

A correspondent, one of the pioneers of
lone City, Amador county, writes the fol-
lowing, under date of January 5th:
Our citrus belt received an unex-
pected setback yesterday and last night by
the visitation of two and one-half inches
of snow. Many pepper and blue-gum
trees in full foliage were broken down by
the weight of the snow. The proverbial
" old settler" claims that this is the fourth
snow worthy of record since 1S49. The
surrounding hills and north sides Of build
ings were covered with snow at noon to-
day, and the general slush and mud
and water reminded us of our boy
hood days in the Atlantic States. Yes
terday, and till late hour last night, was a
gala time for the small boy" Snow
balling was the order of the dav, and woe
to the unfortunate pedestrian who ven-
tured on the street. The white missiles
flew in every direction, regardless of who
or what they hit. 1t was fun to the
urchin, but too much of it was not pal
atable 10 some of the gray-beards, and
threats of an application of the old
!" saw =" If there is no virture in tufts of
grass, will try the efficacy of stones y
were made. The incorrigible little natives,
however, could not refrain from enjoying
the golden opportunity of exercising their
prerogative, and, under cover of darkness
and lamp-posts, continued their assaults
until curfew warned them of the approach
of the Waterman. Only two of these
SHOWS have occurred here within the
memory of the small boy" and he well
high went into extacies yesterday as he
watched the falling Of the feathery flakes
There were a few Eastern people in our
town yesterday, and they were wonder
struck at the phenomenal intermingling of
falling snow and blooming flowers. In
short, visit from the snow king yesterday
was not only enjoyed for its novelty by the
:" small boy" but a pleasant reminder to
us gray-beards of the " coasting days !"
of our boyhood.

HARBoRING MURDERERs.

An extradition treaty is being negoti
ated by the United States with Russia. 1t
was plain sailing enough even among the
shoals and isles of mutually recognize
ordinary felonies, and no particular objec-
ton was heard to it--except from Anarch-
lists who object to all things sensible
until the clause came under discussion
which provides that the murder of the
"Chief Magistrate of the State'-in one
case called Emperor, or Gar, and in the
other case called President-shall not be
considered as political offense.
Over this provision fearful howl has
been raised by the Socialistic, Nihilistic
and Anarchist crews Now, who that is at
all rational, and entertains views worthy
of being classed among the human, can
find in that provision anything inimical to
the personal liberty of the citizens of the
United States, or the subjects of Russia
The Anarchist and the radical Socialist
fear and execrate the sentiment of the
clause for the reason that it puts the crime
of King killing and President assassination
among the common and Infamous crimes
of homicide. And why should it not ?
The objections raised to tie section come
from parties and organizations that have
no reason to expect sympathy from order
loving and law-abiding Americans. They
emanate from the men who lately holly
preached hostility and still breathe threat
enings against the American Government;
! who have denounced our social system as
slavery, republican institutions as cheats,
the laws as tyrannous and all restraint
upon lawlessness as unjusti6able restric-
tion of the liberties of men.
The proposed clause is one that cannot
be misunderstood, nor is it capable of being
interpreted as an assault upon personal
liberty or an infringement of the
right of conscience, despite the iterated
charges of the Russian-American League
Men may, indeed, think as they please,
speak, write and print as they please; but
| when they claim that free thought and the
exercise Of the right of conscience give
them the privilege of blowing up human
beings with dynamite bombs, and of put
ting knives beneath the ribs OF their
enemies, we in America stigmatize them
as the accomplices of murderers and
hold them amenable to the laws against
thugs assassins and other morally depraved
creatures.
Our Government ought to be encouraged
to hold extradition conventions with any
and all nations, and to make covenants as
broadly liberal as are in keeping with ma
tional dignity and our rank among the
peoples of the world. Such treaties are
opposed only by the classes who desire
convenient refugees from the just penalties
of their misdeeds. The proposed treaty
with Russia means that we will not har-
Dor Ter assassins, if she will return ours,
and that is reasonable and humane agree
ment, because it is in Encouragement of
assassination, the meanest kind and most
abhorrent of homicides, and strips the cloak
from pretense that hides behind politi-
cal mask to wreak its revenges with the
knife, bomb and bludgeon.

The New Freight Rates.

Most of the changes in the freight tariff
agreed upon at the recent meeting in Chi
cago are in West bound freight, but the
East bound schedule contains some slight
changes, and is of interest to San Francisco
shippers.
The established class rates through to
New York and common points from San
Francisco, Sacramento, San Jose, Los
Angeles, San Diego and other California
points. as well as from Portland and Astoria
(by Canadian Pacific, Northern Pacific or
Oregon Short Line) and Tacoma and Seat
tie (by Canadian or Northern Pacific) will
beas follows: First class, 81 per 100 pounds;
second class, So 20; third class, 81 so: fourth
class, 81 20; fifth class, 81; sixth class, 81 rs:
seventh class, 81 so; eighth class, 81 %;
ninth class, 81 10. Rates from the same
points to Buffalo, Pittsburg and common
points range from So 60 to 81 O5. according
to class; to Detroit, Toledo, etc, from So 40
to 81 05; to Chicago and Milwaukee, from
So % TO 81; to St. Louis, New Orleans and
Mississippi river points. from So Is to 81;
to Omaha, Minneapolis, Kansas City,
Atchison, Galveston, Houston, etc., from
50 to 81.
On special commodities, as beans, brandy.
hides, etc. there are few changes. Canned
goods from all Pacific coast terminals to
New York and common points will cost 81
per 100 pounds, and 20 cents to Missouri
river points, The rate on baled wool is
raised from 81 at present to 81 80; secured
wool, 81. Oranges and lemons may be
sent by passenger train service to Chicago,
ST. Paul or Minneapolis. for 81 Is per 100
pounds, or by freight train service, 81 Is

return to political duty. take the manage
ment of party into their own hands and
appoint executive stewards who can be
trusted, it will be of very little use to
thunder against political corruption from
legislative halls. The corruptionists do
not fear statutory fulminations; under
their cover they ply their trade all
the more industriously and cunningly.
Since the foregoing was in type, dis
patches, published elsewhere in this morn
ing's RECORD UNION, make startling as
sertions concerning the contest for the seat
in Congress held by Speaker Carlisle, of
Kentucky. If 1.-THE of the charges made
of corruption in the election in which he
was candidate are proven to be true, all
the Governor has said in his message ac-
quires new interest and Importance Mr..
Carlisle, who stands before the country as
an honorable man, must not be judged
simply upon charges laid; he must be held
guiltless until proofs are adduced, and he
has put in his defense. There is altogether
too much of the disposition manifest to
condemn upon mere charges preferred. In
the case of Mr.. Carlisle such particularly
and detail of statement, and such strong
challenges of denials are made, that the
House Committee cannot ignore the mat
ter In the face of such allegations as
Sypher makes, Mr.. Carlisle and his friends
cannot afford to refuse to answer. Sypher
may be unworthy of belief, and his start
ling charges groundless, but since he offers
to make the effort to prove them, it is not
possible for the sitting member to refuse
his challenge and retain the respect Of the
people. For the sake of his high charac-
ter, his many years of service to his coun-
try, the honor of the National Legislature,
and the exalted position he occupies it is
to be hoped that Mr.. Carlisle will be able
to speedily put Sypher's charges in the
category of the unreliable.

A USELESS INQUIRY.

The American Society for Psychical Re-
search has sent out circular requesting
that any person having some unuusal ex-
perience, such as an exceptionally vivid
and disturbing dream, or a strong waking
impression, amounting to a distinct hallu-
cination, concerning another person at a
distance, make statement of that fact
promptly to the society. Also, that any
remarkable connection between that ex-
perience and any other circumstance sub
sequently discovered be made known in a
second communication. The society might
as we'll employ four-score secretaries and
readers of letters at once. If a tenth of the
people who have had some such expert
ences comply with the request the Office of
the society will be inadequate to hold the
letters, spacious as it is. The world has
been specializing upon visions, coincident
reality with strange dreams, and such like
phenomena ever since man began to wonder
and to reason. 1t was just about as near a
solution of them at first as now. If there is
some psychological principal controlling
the phenomenon of dreaming and thereaf-
ter realizing, or appearing to realize in
fact the events.of the dream ; or involved
in and controlling that stranger phenom-
enon of seeming to realize that which one
believes he has dreamed or experienced,
but how, or when, or where, he can
never tell the society will not
discover it by the means it now proposes
to employ. The testimony it will receive
will be unreliable, for the reason that all
men are misled by their fancy and de-
ceived by their imagination in such cases.
No one of them with such experience will
ever stand ready to take oath to the exact
facts and conditions. They are always in
volved in doubt, and hence no sure, safe
basis can be laid for any reliable conclu-
sion. Waking Authorizations are as I'M
substantial as dreams; either may arise
from disordered stomach or troubled
mind, and the victim of them is never
able to determine that they do not. 1t
will be testified by all who testify at all
that this hearing of words or phrases that
one has heard before, but where or how he
cannot tell; this seeing of an apparent
bodily presence that presently vanishes;
this dreaming of things that "come to
pass" in nine cases out of ten are unim-
portant; trivial, indeed, and have no rela-
ton to any practical phase of life. The
Society for Psychical Research can spend
century and millions of dollars in attempt
ing to determine principle relating to
the dreams and visions and Authorizations,
and will then be as involved in doubt as
now. The research to be attempted is
useless, waste of time, and can profit no
one.
