branch of reformatory and asylum work
that finds homes and opportunities for child
wards to learn useful trades-but always it
should be carried on with an eye to the
physical ability and the education and
the general well-being of the child We
are gradually getting away from the asy-
lum as place of confinement, as also from
that other ancient system of raising the
orphan in the immediate community in
which the asylum is located. The better
plan, and one that is wisely coming more
and more into vogue, is to find for home
less ones homes in somewhat distant
sections, the institutions that sends them
out keeping an eye upon them until of
age, solieitous to see that their rights are
conserved, and that the contract made for
them is strictly and humanely observed.
By this means the children are placed in
homes where the surrounding influences
are beneficial; they are secured opportu-
mites to learn trades and vocations, and
thus become equipped with capital of
which they cannot be deprived. In the
Juvenile reformatories of the East, too. the
plan is coming into general adoption of
sending youths into new social and in
dustrial atmosphere and removing them
from a semi-prison into a community
where no reproaches can attach to them and
all the avenues for advancement and
leading to an industrious and honest man
hood are open to them
If however, the introduction of any of
the children into large factories has been
practiced, and of placing them where they
are deprived of home influences and moral
and physical kindly supervision of
parental character and of putting them to
labor at too tender an age or at sacrifice
of common school instruction, then the
practice has become evil, and the original
idea of expectation has been departed
from. Neither Ohio nor any other State
should object to the immigration to their
communities of children who are wanted
to learn trades and business habits and
who will have good homes. Orphanage is
no stigma, nor is child-labor, within the
limits of wisdom, Objectionable. Unless
there was a demand for these wards of
asylums to enter apprenticeship, assuredly
the East could not export them. Ger
tainiy, also, the managers of our asylums,
who are nearly always humane, philan-
thropic, and controlled by boards of men
and women of profound sympathies and
exceeding sensitiveness to wrong, and
anxious to do the very best that is possible
for their wards, can be trusted not to farm
out orphan children to undue tasks or sub
NIT them to non-benefcial conditions.

We have been told for years that the
presence of women at the polls meant in
suit and indignity to them. Seventeen
thousand citizens of that sex voted in Bos-
ton this month, and in not one case was
there anything but the most respectful
treatment of the women. The men of
Boston are not more gallant, do not esteem
of the obligation to be courteous towards
them than the men of any other consider
able city of the Union. 1t follows that
the old cav that women would be i'll
treated at the polls was but the fear of
those who did not credit men with respect
for women

against bribery and official corruption, and
in their stead set up a regulation system
under which, as happened in the decadence
of the Roman Empire, bribing- brokers do
an open business of traffic in official cor
ruptlon. Such reasoning, indeed, might
just as well be advanced for the establish
ment of a tax schedule for official pecula-
ton, to regulate the sale of legislative
votes, or for the sale of privileges for
criminal conspiracy, for licenses to levy
tribute upon the highway, or to cut a
throat and snatch a purse.

TWENTY-FIVE Congressional district re-

THE interest the Democratic journals
take in the formation of General Harri-
sons Cabinet is amusing. If we are to be-
ieye these opponents of Democratic opin-
ion their party is deeply agitated over the
appointments. The Boston Globe, for in
stance, INDUCES itself in leaders to express
the hope that General Harrison will not
slight some of the foremost men of the Re
publican party. 1t does not seem to reflect
upon the fact that the foremost Republi-
cans have never looked to the Globe to
champion the cause, and that its solicitude
in their behalf now is nothing more than
amusing.

Mr.. GEORGE W. CABLE in his recent
lecture in Chicago declared that the "na-
ton cannot afford suppressed vote" That
is a new but forcible way of putting an
important question. Mr. Cable does not
contend that ignorance should rule in the
South, but that justice shall be so done
that the majority will be taught to rule
by "the right to rule according to the su-
perior fitness of their ruler, and their fit
ness determined, not by themselves or any
arbitrary power, not BIZ inheritance, not
by station nor by race, but by the verdict
of the people to be ruled as to who is best
fitted for doing the ruling" Mr.. Cable
insists that the country must task of the
South if it is going to adhere to the princi-
pies of the days of slavery or apply itself
to the enforcement of the doctrines of
American Government" Mr.. Cable is a
Southerner, has proved himself friend of
the South and an opponent of the vote
repression system. He believes that time
and intelligence will qualify the negro
voter of the South very speedily, and he
contends warmly for the removal of all
obstacles that keep the voter from the
polls, because they mean his enslavement
to ignorance for an indefinite period.

SAYS the Cleveland Leader: "The laws

The sensational story Of plot to assas-
sinate General Harrison is not worthy of
belief, for there could be no sufficient actu-
ating motive. The circulation of such
warns" is damaging to the country and
will tend to give us reputation abroad as
unenviable as that attaching to the Russia
of the present and the France and Spain of
the past. The story runs that well-laid
plot to take the life of Harrison was ar
ranged by gang of bloodthirsty villains,
and that an attempt to execute their das-
tardly designs was made one day last
week, but that the fearful scheme was dis
covered by one of Harrison's nearest
friends and thwarted. But why should "a
gang of bloodthirsty villains" or any
other kind conspire to kill General Har-
rison? He has not crossed path that his
removal by assassination would clear of
any obstacles. He has punished no enc
mics, disappointed no friends. Why
should anyone, therefore, seek to take his
life. Neither politically could there be
any motive, for no political party could
gain anything by his death. Gangs of
villains do not go about cutting Threats
without some reason for 1t. In this story
no possible motive is suggested, and none
can be fancied. The sensation is, there
fore, fit only to be stigmatized as a piece of
silly lying originating, as is more than
likely, in the fuddled brain of some shall
low newspaper sensationalist.
Since the foregoing was used the news
is at hand that the family of General Har-
rison has pronounced the story to be, as
above indicated, canard worse a lie, out
of the whole cloth. The fellow who orig
mated and set it ahoat ought to be hunted
out and held up to public scorn.

Hay FORK Trinity co... Dec. 10, 1888.
EDS. RECORD UNION: Here am again,
in "0ld Trinity" taking observations of
the progress and improvements going on in
the Northern Citrus Belt" We are now
rapidly approaching winter weather, which
have found thus far very similar to the
Sacramento valley-except that there are
no cold north winds here. 1 also note the
absence of the mud of the lower valleys
after a rain. The temperature of the last
two weeks has been from 800 to 500, preyi-
Gus to which we had few cold mornings,
with icicles eighteen inches long hanging
from the fumes of the bitches, with temper
ature at go. At noon it would reach 60o.

hand, and with the application of muscle
and the expenditure of money will be one
of the gems of Northern California in a
few years. fiud lack of energy on the

seen as fine winter apples here as any that
come from Oregon, and in few years the
latter c1unt;y viii find a formidable rival
in the mouIiain districts OF Northern Cali
fornia. Walter James took load of apples
to Red Bluff a week ago. and sold them
readily at three cents per pound. If they
had been put up in boxes, instead of being
carried loose in the wagon, and had been
picked from the trees instead Of being
shaken of, they would have brought at
least four cents per pound.
This country produces potatoes and al
falfa to perfection, and is fairly coed for
wheat and other cereals. The foothills are
well adapted for the successful raising of
fruits-parlicularly apples and pears, and,
1 think, many of the more hardy varieties
of the grape family would do well here.

THE detailed reports of the battle before
Suakin on Thursday prove that the Eng
fish officers have at last infused the fight
ing spirit into the Egyptian soldiery.
Heretofore the Khedive's troops have been
almost worthless, and in the first Soudan
campaign were actually hindrances. Lord
Wolseley expressed the opinion on his re-
turn to England in 1884 that it would be
impossible to take and hold the Soudan
without the aid of native army organ

to look as if the English might retake the
Soudan and hold it.

OLD MINING CAMPS

1 recently visited the ancient mining
camp of Douglas City, on Trinity river, and
as l looked upon the vacant, dilapidated
dwellings and business houses, l was re-
minded of Goldsmiths description of the
" D aserted Village" The camp was started
during the simmer of 1858, and the bust
ness of the place was done by general
merchandise stores, ? dry goods stores, l
drug store, l meat market, l blacksmith
and wagon shop and hotels. The three
precincts of the camp formerly polled 29S
votes. They now poll about 60. The
floods of December, 1861, came along and
the river rose to a hight of 60 feet above
low water, and cleared the river of all
bridges, wheels, etc, so that up to the pres
ent time there is not single permanent
bridge On the entire stream. The county
voted at the last election to issue bonds and
build bridges across the river at Douglas
City and Trinity Center, so that in course
of year it will be possible to make the
trip through the county from north to
south at any season of the year, instead of
from July to january, az at present.

the law stands so far removed from either
side of the controversy and so Indifferent
to the partisanship of either, that his
election is verdict in favor of his entire
competency to act independently of feel
ing or the prejudices of education and
faith on the particular question that
brought about the contest.
SENATOR EDMUNDs' resolution enters
the protest of the United States against
any European Government having any
connection with the construction of the
Panama or any other American Isthmus
canal. There can be no doubt entertained
of its passage. The RECORD UNION some
days ago expressed the opinion that if the
movement in France to extend protecto-
rate over the canal route took official form
the Government of the United States
would be expected by its people to at once
rebuke the effort. But it does not appear
that the French President or the Senate
or the Chamber of Deputies is disposed to
act as certain French sensationalists would
like to have them in this matter. France
has not shown disposition to elbow Us
concerning the canal, and no trouble con-
corning it need be anticipated.
