fault-inding. Abbey, Parsons, and
Thurstrup furnish some of their best
work. In fiction many strong chapters
are offered, while the supply of solid
reading is no way diminished. The
frontispiece is a haymaking scene by
Abbey, drawn to illustrate the old
rhyme about "The Leather Bottel."

and will establish immediate commercial
relations between the richest of the north
ern coast counties and Sacramento. 1t
will enable the trade interests of Sacra-
mento to compete for business in Sonoma
with the metropolis. As natural result,
it will bring the people of the two sections
into better acquaintance. Heretofore the
only convenient means of reaching the
Redwood region and the rich sections of
the Sonoma, Santa Rosa and Russian
river valleys, has been by the roundabout
way Of transportation through San Fran
cisco, compelling travellers to make de-
tour far to the south, and to twice cross
San Francisco bay, consuming from eight
to ten hours of time With the opening
of the Santa Rosa and Carquinez road this
time will be reduced to about four or five
hours, and the trip can be made without
change of cars or involving any travel by
water. The products of the Sonoma section
will reach Sacramento without being twice
handled, and our products will 90 to the
coast county as directly as it is possible to
ship them anywhere. These facts suggest
the great Importance of the road to this
region, without further comment 1t is
stated by the news dispatches that when
the road is completed it is intended to have
a grand celebration at Santa Rosa, and
that an excursion train will be run from
this city. The opportunity to cultivate
the acquaintance of the Sonoma people
and closer commercial relations with them,
will certainly be improved by our business
men. There should go from Sacramento a
sufficiently large and representative dele
CATION to do this city credit, and to COM
port with the Importance of the OCCASION
Every new rail connection with Sacra-
mento augments the commercial advant-
ages of this city, and more firmly fixes
Interests of every character, thus appreci-
ating the Importance of this city as trade
center, and bringing nearer the period of
its full development.

TRANSPARENT CONCERN.

Lately the San Francisco Chronicle has
been making ostentatious manifestations of
its opposition to the Southern Pacific Com
pany. Such manifestations in the Chronicle
usually precede some act of subserviency.
The Chronicle is evidently preparing the
way for doing Just what the corporation may
desire in some instance, or of doing the
railroad company some signal service, and
yet maintaining reputation for stalwart
independence. The most recent complaint
OF the Chronicle against the railroad COM
pany is, in effect, that it has refused to
give persons desiring to attend the Ma
tional Republican Convention at Chicago
In June emigrant rates Of transportation.
1t says that the railroad company charges
twenty dollars more for excursion rates
from San Francisco to Chicago and return
than it charges from Chicago to San Fran
cisco and return. 1t further says that the
delegates to the Convention will go, be-
cause they promised to, but it will greatly
ASoeAASN eAAl lliuib vi DcIstu5
who might have gone had greater conces-
sions in the rate of transportation been
given. 1t affords us great pleasure to see
Chat the delegates are so self-sacrifcing
that they are willing to stand twenty dol
lars more than the emigrant rate to Chi
cago and return, because of the promise
they have made to Convention that they
will attend the national gathering. We,
however, venture the opinion that there is
not one single delegate elected to either
the Republican or Democratic National
Conventions who will not expect free
transportation at the hands of the rail
road company, and we furthe- suggest that
twenty dollars difference between the rate
from Chicago to San Francisco and the
rate from San Francisco and return, is not
very large sum when the general ex-
penses of a delegate to a National Conven-
ton are to be brought into comparison
with it. The Chronicle, however, de-
nounces as a narrow minded, short sighted,
selfish policy the action of the Southern
Pacific Company in charging twenty dol
lars more for round trip from San Fran
cisco to Chicago than the rate given in the
interest of immigration from Chicago to
San Francisco.
The proprietor of the Chronicle was an
importunate candidate for delegate to the
National Convention, and while in view of
that fact the present doleful wall of the
paper concerning the cost of Transports
ton is certainly not in good taste, it will
nevertheless answer as a precautionary
profession which will tend to keep the
paper solid with whatever remnant of
anti-monopoly sentiment may remain in
this country.

A NOTABLE CONVENTION.

A Convention is called to assemble in
Washington to be composed wholly of law
yess, the purpose Of which is to devise
means for securing uniformity of laws in
the United States relating to marriage and
divorce.
There is no subject connected with the
laws of the domestic relations that is so
traught with interest to the investigator
or of Importance to American society. The
independently Of the States it is not pro-
posed to disturb in the matter of making
laws concerning marriage and divorce F..
1t is not even proposed to ask for an
amendment to the Federal Constitution in
order TO invest Congress with greater pow
ers; it is proposed only to devise means to
secure uniformity, through consultation,
and by the force of reason to bring the
people Of the several States into agree
ment upon what shall constitute cause for
divorce, and what shall be deemed proper
celebration and evidence of marriage.
Of course this will be serious task, one
that must enlist great amount of energy.
philanthropy and untiring patience, but
it can be accomplished, and there is no
class of men who can so well do it as law
yers. Fortunately they have the sympathy
and active aid Of the clergy, the leading
essayists, the best thinkersof the day, the
great sociologists and the majority of the
foremost thinkers and workers for woman's
welfare
1t is undeniable that under our present
diverse systems we are legalizing polygamy;
that we are destroying respect for the
sanctity of marriage; that we are foster
ing crime and immortality, and hardening
the sensibilities of youth concernin. the
shamefulness and wickednsss of violation
of marital VOWS. We have the authority
of President Woolsey for the fact that our
ratio of divorces to marriages or to popu-
lation exceeds that of any country in the
civilized world. This is by no means tes-
timony in behalf of the freedom of our
institutions and the liberties the people
enjoy-it is rather evidence of moral
retrogressive drift that ought to alarm So
ciety.
When it is possible for the citizens of q
common country to be guilty of bigamy in
one State and innocent of it under the
same act in another; when it is possible
for man and woman to be recognized as
husband and wife in one State and as
adulterers becaure of their relation in an
other; when it is possible by mere re-
moval across suggestions line to legally
put away wife, who in the jurisdiction of
her own territory is regarded still as q
wife; when it is possible for the bonds be-
tween husband and wife to be legally
severed within few weeks time and with
out the knowledge of the application for a
decree being made known to one of the
parties, though that knowledge might be
easily communicated-and all these things
are possible and actually occur in the
United States-it is time for such reforma-
tion of the State law, as will correct the
evil. We look forward to the coming law
Convention with interest, and the hope
that it will set the ball in motion that will
crush ont the ofenses complained Of.
