newspapers do not penetrate to every part
of the State; the more remote sections
they do not reach oftener than once
fortnight, or at most once week; the
mountain and plains distant single settle
mepts they do not reach often for month.
Even then shall we trust to the chance of
the people reading of every crime, of the
accounts ofjournals being accurate or timely,
or to the description of the criminals being
correct? But if we admit that the news
paper is of sufficient means of informa-
ton, and that the people read all criminal
news Immediately upon receipt of their
newspapers, shall we then trust to the pos
sibility of every rancher, herder and mill
man transforming himself into an amateur
detective, and devoting his energies to
thief-catching? Does not our contem-
porary know as matter of fact that be-
cause the escape does see the papers, that
the press is often used to purposely mis-
lead him, and is, therefore, not to be relied
upon in many cases by those who might
apprehend criminals? Does not our con-
temporary know as matter of fact that in
large number of cases officers refrain from
publication facts which, if related by the
press, would defeat, or at least lessen the
probabilities of the capture of criminals ?

HE opening of the Permanent Exhibi-
ton of California products in this city to-
day will mark the inauguration of great
practical work. The effort is too new. the
season too early, the incidents of getting
the scheme upon its feet have been too
many and perplexing to expect q great
display at first. That will come presently.
Counties that will not be represented to-
day at all are emphatic in demanding the
reservation of their space. The opening is
very properly, however, fixed for the first
days of summer, and it ought to be recog-
nized by the people of Northern and Cen
trail California as an event of momentous
Importance. The building is up and paid
for; the exhibition officers are appointed
many exhibits have arrived, and there are
plenty of others en- route Hereafter the
stranger visitor is to be enabled to view
the products of the land without first Wis
iting the several sections, and this means a
great deal more for Northern California
than at first appears, or than We can find
space to now explain. Suffice it to say
that the new venture is to be launched to-
day, and that in purpose and spirit its
promotion enlists the energies of many
citizens who have the highest and best
interests of the State at heart. They
should have the announcement and aid nj
all their fellow citizens.

The Nations Educators.

General Manager John Q. Brown of the
California State Board of Trade has issued
an address which he has mailed to all of the
atfiliating Boards of Trade throughout the
State urging them to put their exhibits of
the products of their localities and counties
in the rooms of the State Board in the best
possible condition The latest estimates
gathered from railroad and educational
sources show that that there will be from
10000 to $1,000 visitors, and their influence
as missionaries is much to be desired. The
local Boards are also requested to forward
reading matter that is reliable, as visitors
will be given whatever they wish in the
way of information with reference to any To-
cality they may desires. F. Call, June LIST.

NV New Linen Shirts.

EDS. RECoRD-UNIoN Being in London 8
few years ago, had made to order six new
all linen shirts. 1 was very particular to
have them fit nice, and had them made
with narrow front pleats for evening wear
when | returned to Sacramento. They
pleased me well and gave good satisfaction
but knowing that could not bring them
into New York without wearing or
washing, l began using them at
once, then gave them to a London
laundress. l found her at the wash-tub
rubbing them with the fist against the
wrist and they were brought home in very
nice order. Travelling afterwards in Scot
land, | strolled TO the washing green in
Greenock, and there in brick building at
least 100 feet long, with boilers, soap-suds,
tubs and clear water, beheid fifteen or
twenty healthy looking Scotch girls, with
out shoes or stockings, their dresses
held up to their knees, standing
in wash.tubs and soap-suds, stamp
ing or treading the dirty clothes,
my linen shirts among the number. | had
no right there, l afterwards found out, for
soon after entering the girls got hold of me,
rolled me in the dirty linen, smothered
me in soapsuds and hustled ME out in
quick time. Crossing the Channel, reached
Paris. My clothes went to the laundry,
thence to the boats or barges on the river
Seine, and here my shirts were
laid on large board or plank,
and the woman was beating the life
out of them with two bats shaped
like battle-dores or butter-cutters. My
shirts came home somewhat the worse for
the washing. Continuing my journey l
got into Portugal, Again l had 10 find the
washer woman This one promised to be
very careful. Judge of my establishment
when going TO the beach found my shirts
laid out on large flat stone or bowlder and
she pounding and rubbing as hard as
she could with a rough cobble- stone.
Reaching afterwards Quebec, in Canada, l
again had to seek the laundress /;
this time they were more moderate: they
first took good stiff brush (horse brush,
| think, which removed all the dirt :;
then whatever sizeing was left was boiled
out in hot soap-suds and strong I've. Reach
ing New York in time, they were more
generous; they put them through a revolv-
ing washing machine made like a bar
rel churn, with round wooden balls
inside, patented in San Francisco.

the finishing touch to my six new
London made shirts. ! gave them to a
Chinaman; he took them the other side
of the slough, held them by the sleeves,
swung them over his head onto a table
made like a picket-fence. and when he
brought them home, all they were fit for
was window rags. There ended my bright
auticipations of the London made linen
shirts. ANGRI PEGUENA.

The Dove-sboot;nr season.

Under the law doves may now be slaught-
ered-provided, of course, the gunner can
get the right drop on the swift-hying birds.
All the same, the better class of sportsmen
do not believe in killing doves so early in
the season, as the female birds all have
nests with either young ones or eggs If
the mother birds are slaughtered while
raising their Young it will not take many
years 10 practically exterminate the doves,
and then even the boodlum will have to
let his blunderbuss lie idle. This is the
selfish side of the question, but it is also
wrong 10 STAY the old birds, and thus starve
the little nestlings TO death. 1t would be
better for all if shooters would give the
doves a rest for yet few weeks more.

THE Chace-Breckenridge international
copyright bill, which passed the Senate
recently, ought to be pushed through the
House and sent to the President with
speed. We have very frequently discussed
the international copyright question in all
its phases, and have examined with Judi
cial impartiality all the arguments ad-
vanced against the reciprocity that char
acterizes it, and have not been able to find
a solitary reason that shakes our faith in
the virtue of the doctrine. The Chace-
Breckenridge bill represents every interest
involved in the production of book
brain, producer, printer, binder type
founder, tradesman. 1t is the final result
of fifty years of hard and never-ending
effort to attain the desired end 1t has the
Endorsement Of the American Copyright
League of which James Russell Lowell is
President, Edmund Clarence Stedman
Vice President, and such eminent writer's
as Curtis, Eggleston, Cable, Warner, Boye-
sen, Glider, Collyer, Howell, Mathews,
Roe, Knox, Bunner and others are of the
Boards of Management. The publishes.
who were for time opposed to any
law upon the subject, are content with
the notwithstanding bill, since it
protects their interests fully, as also those
of the printers and binders, and the pro-
ducers of binders and printers stock.
About the only hope of success the bill
has resides in the possibility of securing
its advancement upon the House calendar
That can be done only by two-thirds
vote. Congressman in this case ought to
lay aside all prejudices concerning the add
vancement of bills, and by common con-
sent permit this measure to get clear of the
calendar and go to the President, since it
is bill that is now without opposition
practically, and is demanded by the vast
majority of the literary and printing
world. 1t ought to be enough to secure
instant action upon the bill to know that
about the only opposition made to it comes
from foreign publishers, who say that its
passage and approval means the transfer
ring of very much of their business to
their American rivals. This is an exag-
gerated view, but that it will be of mate
rial aid and encouragement to American
authors we do know

manency. The influence this will exer.

Newspapers have been favored during
the last few weeks with q great deal of
news touching the doings of several of the
leading religious bodies of the union This
is good sign for us all; for those who do
not believe, as well as for those who be-
lieve. Whatever Il man may consider cor
rect in these things he can not escape the
fact that most people profess to believe
them to be of the very highest importance
of all. Nor can 1t be truthfully denied
that religion is the prime factor in deter
mining the lives of vast multitudes of us
in all walks of life. The churches not
only build their temples Of worship, but
they found schools, endow seminaries and
equip colleges. The religious portions of
our race do not content themselves with
the saying of their prayers and the singing
of their hymns OF penitence or praise.
They are engaged in the great educational
work of the age, and they have much to
do in shaping the social life of the whole

The messenger companies in San Fran

far than that proposed by the Superior
Court-the prosecution of the keepers OF
the houses for admitting the messengers.
The Society for the Suppression of Vice

matter. 1t is one thing for company to
promise to withdraw messengers from such

when occasion demands can defy all rivals
in the adjectiyd hyperbolism. There has
been no more striking instance of this
than that furnished by one of the metro
politan members of the fraternity in San

redecorated theater conveys to his readers
his idea of the richness of the floor
tapestry by describing the velvet carpet
as of 'unfathomable Depth 1t will
trouble the compeers of that descriptive
writer to originate a phrase that will excel
this in meaning and extravaganza. 1t ex-
presses at once the inability of the reporter
to convey to the reader some idea of his

and the delightful sensation accompanying
the pressure Of the feet upon velvety
