The aphorism that knowledge is power"
is so constantly used by educational enthusi
asts that it may almost be regarded as the
motto of the party. But the first essential
of a motto it that it be trne, and it is GER
tainly not true that knowledge is essentially
the same as power. seeing that it is only an
aid to power. The power of a surgeon to
edge than in his knife. In fact the knife has
the better claim to potency of the two, for
a man may hack off limb with his knife
alone, but not with his knowledge alone
knowledge is not even an aid to power in all
cases, seeing that useless knowledge, which
is no uncommon article in our popular
scools, has no relation to power. The true
source of power is the originative action of
the mind which we see exhibited in the dali
ly incidents of life, as well as in matters of

SEVENTY MILLS OF TOWN LOTS.
An Eastern Man Who Has Passed Six
Months in the South

Months in the South.
DR.. W. B. Hill and family are visiting
Sacramento, the guests of Frank Johnson.
Mr.. Hill has been in the State some six
months, nearly all of which time he has
spent in Los Angeles and San Diego. He
says when he first arrived at San Diego he
drove around town nearly all day trying to
secure rooms for his family. Late in the
day he secured a 7x9 unfurnished room in
an unfinished house, for which he paid 50
a day. Some days thereafter he secured
better accommodations. "They had a
boom there" said the doctor, but it is
thing of the past, and you can get all the
accommodations you want now for so
cents day" He said he never
was in country where things
were so overdone as in San
Diego county. They have laid out
city there extending for seventy miles
along the coast-town lots sufficient to
accommodate the population of the four
largest cities in the world. They Law out
lots in size 25x60, SO if you desire to build
you must buy two lots. The people are
leaving there as fast as they came In, and
the occupation of the real estate agent is
gone.
He is thoroughly pleased with this Sec
ton of the country and wonders at the peo-
pie from the East going south, passing
through this, country vastly its superior
he will remain here some weeks, will visit
all portions of the valley as far as Shasta

WASHINGTON, April 5th.-The fight on

While both sides express determination
TO hight 1T out, if it takes all summer. the
friends OF the bill are afraid it is beaten.
The minority shows no signs of yielding,
ana they are strong enough to prevent

WASHINGTON, April 5th.-Contrary to the
general understanding of the House, the
question of parliamentary law raised yes-
terday by the motion to excuse a member

point. On May 26, 1882, during the con-
sideration of contested-election case,
Representative Hatch of Missouri asked to
be excused from voting on motion to ad-
journ. Blackburn moved formally that
the gentleman be excused. The point of
order was made against the motion by
Calkins that it was not in order, and
Speaker keifer sustained the point and
held that motion to be excused from
votion on a motion to adjourn or to take q
recess could not be entertained His de-
clsion was based upon rulings oy Speaker

RIDDLEBERsER,s REASONS.
Why the Virginia Senator Opposes the
Extradition Treaty.


WASHINGTON, April shit is under
stood that the reason for Riddleberger' s
decided opposition to the British extradi-
ton treaty, so often manifested, is due to
the amendment of Section by the Senate.
The section originally read:
Malicious injuries to property, whereby
the life of any person shall be endangered.
If such injuries constitute crime, accord
ing to the laws of both the high contract
ing parties.
The Senate Committee on Foreign Rela-
tons amended this to read
Malicious injuries to persons or prop
eriy by the use of explosives, or malicious
injuries or distractions to railways whereby
the life OF any person shall be endangered.
If such injuries constitute crime accord
ing to the laws of both high contracting
parties, or according to the laws of that DO,
litical division of either country in which
the offense shall have been committed,
and of that political division of either
country in which the offender shall be ar
rested"
