apologies and every self-respecting man

In anothergit refers to "the shameless
violation of the law" in the matter of
gaming, and in rebuking San Francisco
journal for an assault upon the women of
Sacramento, the RECORD UNION spoke of
:" the prevalence OF gaming and the pres
ence of large delegation of thieves, cut
throats, FOUNDERS, blacklegs and the like,
for whose miserable existence Sacramento
thank Gods in no wise responsible" !"
The REcoRD-UNIoN also said, in speak
ing of the saturnalia of vice:
That other cities of the State should vomit
upon the Capital City during fair weeks or any
other time, the scum or any part of their crimi-
nal or vicious elements. and that they should
command sufficient influence to paralyze the

and disgraceful. We think this people have

In another article, printed while the

above printed, the REcoRD-UNIoN re-
ferred to the fact that San Francisco
spewed the vicious element upon Sacra,
mento, and said:
There is not a blackleg, thief. short-card

AN IMPORTANT LOCAL QUESTION.

In another column appears second let
ter from Judge H. 0. Beatty upon the
question of local water supply. The state
ments made by the correspondent in these
two public communications, are certainly
of such importance and positiveness as to
command inquiry and investigation. He
alleges well-known fact, when he states
that greater power is required proportion
ately to force water through small than
through large pipes. Thus, if water is
pushed through a 20-inch pipe on the
level one mile, at the rate Of six feet per
second, 1t requires pressure equal to
column thirty-four feet in height. But
if there is given 36-inch pipe the demand
is for a pressure equal to column of
water but two feet in height to deliver
the same quantity of water. So it is
known to all that when we pass above
Tenth or Twelfth streets, the city fire
hydrant can supply, because the pressure
is unequal, widely varying between a point
near the Waterworks and one a mile
distant. But with a main equal to
the capacity of the pumps the
pressure will be very nearly equal
lied. 1t amounts to this, then,
that reputable correspondent, who knows
of what he treats, alleges that the city does
not need new pumping machinery, since
that it now has is equal to supplying
all the water 10000 people demand, if only
the mains for proper distance are en-
larged; that this can be demonstrated
according to well-known hydraulic laws,
and that the demonstration can be easily
made, and 10 the satifaction of those now
expert in hydraulics as well as to hydraulic
engineers. Such direct statements, charg-
ing that we are pursuing an uneconomic
method whereby we use undue quantities
of fuel and waste the power we now have,
instead of employing it all in delivering
water, ought to have the consideration of
the city officials. They should not be put
aside upon the dictum of anyone, but ought
to be examined into, and, if sound, should
be admitted and action taken accordingly.

THE EXPERIMENTAL STATION.

Its Success Assured-Sacramento aTer-
chants Ever to the Front.
The Regents of the University of Cali
fornia have located, under authority Of 2
law of Congress, a Government Experi-
mental Station near Jackson, Amador
county. 1t is intended as a station for the
entire foothill region of the State. where
experiments in soil and the adeptabilitv of
different vines and fruits can be made. The
station is in no sense local benefit TO
the people OF Jackson, but in order To
secure its location in that neiehborhood
the people of that section guaranteed
to do certain things. They agreed to Sc
cure the la3d necessary and to defrav the
expense OF erecting the buildings necessary
to carry on the work. The citizens of
Jackson raised So 600, but as that fell far
snort OF the amount required, they con-
clnoed 10 come to Sacramento for assist
ance. Messrs. Newman and Genocchio.
two of jackson S most prominent business
men, came TO Sacramento few days ago.
and, laying the matter before the business
men of this city, found their ef-
forts were warmly seconded by the
citizens of the Capital, who are
never backward when money is required
Tor any ,praiseworthy object. The follow
ing subscriptions were secured, and the
committee only canvassed a few hours and

THE United States Senate yesterday re-
fused by vote Of 20 to q to reconsider
the vote by which the new Chinese restric-
ton bill was passed, and it now goes to the
President for his approval. He cannot
certainly clap one of his accustomed vetoes
upon it, for it is understood to have been
an administration measure. Yet il is
known that since the bill went to the Sen
ate the administration influence has been
cast IN favor of burying it by reference to
standing committee, process to which
it was not subjected in the House, for cam
paign reasons. If he should refuse to SIGN
1t, 1t will intensity the anti-Chinese senti-
ment and make the campaign awkward for,
the Democracy. He will, therefore, sign
the bill and thus put an etfectual end to
any further treating with China concern
ing immigration, except upon basis SIM
liar to that i'll the bill. Yet we are told
in the dispatches this morning that the
treaty lately made has not been rejected
1t follows that the administration nego-
tiated treaty, and, while it awaited ratif-
cation by the foreign power, pushed
through legislation offensive to the treaty.
This may be craftsmanship, but it is of an
order new and dangerous.

NEW ADVERTISEMENTS.
PUBLIC HEALING OF THE SICK.
Remarkable Scenes TO be Witnessed at
Pioneer Hall.

DIR. JUDSON EVANS, of New York,
will publically heal the sick in the above
hall EVERY MORNING, from 10 to Il
o'clock, for about two weeks.
From the San Francisco Examiner, an
advertisement having appeared in several
of the daily papers that the famous DR..
JUDSON EVANS, of New York, would
publically heal the sick in Irving Hail. on
Post street, an Examiners reporter was
sent to witness the treatment which is
well known to scientific men to be of an
extraordinarily successful character, and
the reporter not only saw many wonderful
cures, but had an interesting interview
with the doctor at his parlors at the Bald
win Hotel. There were at his clinic, if we
may so term it, not less than one thousand
persons. DR.. EVANS treatment is prin-
cipally magnetic and to ordinary observers
incomprehensible, but the results are of a
character which cannot be questioned, "for
facts are stubborn things The first
patient treated after the reporters arrival
was an old gentleman, who had suffered
from rheumatism for nine years, and
whose stiffened joints caused him to hobble
painfully to where the treatments were
given. DIR. EVANS made few passes
over the body and limbs of the patient,
and almost as if by magic the pain and
stiffness seemed to vanish, and the
patient walked away at a brisk
gait, fully satisfied of his complete
recovery and praising the doctor. Then a
patient suffering from almost total deaf
ness of fifteen years standing was almost
instantly restored to perfect hearing. The
next was lady who stated that she had
suffered intolerably from neuralgia of the
head and face for more than five years.
She was cured by few minutes treatment
and went away like one in dream MANY
other cases followed which your reporter
has not now the space to record, but not in
a single instance did a failure occur. In
he words of one OF old, "The lame were
made to walk, the blind to see and the deaf
to hear" These cures, as is proven by the
records of well authenticated cases, are not
merely temporary, but permanent. DOC
TOR EVANS has leased Pioneer Hall. on
Seventh street, between and K, where he
will publicly heal the sick free of charge
for two weeks, commencing Wednesday
morning, September 18th, from 10 to IL
o'clock, each morning. Everybody should
attend and witness his wonderful cures
each morning, for he will astonish the
skeptical, amuse the mirthful and set the
serious TO thinking. He has Parlors 65
and 66 at the Golden Eagle Hotel where
those who are able and willing to pay may
come from IL A. NJ. until p M of each
day. Admission to the hall Free Con-
slltation at the Golden Eagle Hotel also

A QUESTION OF PROTEST.

The brilliant evening dullness across the
way, remsrking upon the RECORD UNIONS
suggestion that Sacramento cannot afford
another season of unchecked vice like that
of the last fortnight, charges that during
its prevalence this journal uttered no pro-
test against lt. The fact in this instance,
as is usually the case with our neighbor, is
that the statement would be correct if re-
versed. Our unreliable contemporary ut
tered no word of protest or rebuke, while
the RECORD UNIoA did. 1t stated during
the carnival of law-breaking the fact, and
coupled with it the protest. Thus, in one
