My reasons are simply because the whole

orange tree is beautiful tree, hardy. and.
as l have seen it in Louisiana, highly orna,

THE PRESIDENCY OF THE UNIVERSITY

The lelicf has been gaining ground
steadily that there is greater need for
business executive capacity in the Prcsi-
dent Of the State University than for high
scholastic attainments with limited execu-
tive ability. II the choice had to be made
between simple scholarship ON the one
hand, and business capacity with fair
scholarship on the other, we apprehend
that the Judgment Of the University men
Of to-day would be in favor of the latter.
1t is announced that the State University
Regents are about to offer the Presidency
Of the institution to Hon. Horace Davis, of
San Francisco, who IS widely and popu-
larly known in the State, and has served it
with distinguished ability at the national
capital as legislator. In business life
Mr.. Davis has proved himself to be a thor
oughly competent man of the broadcast ca
pacity. His scholastic attainments are of
high order, and combined with his ex-
ecutive abilities, eminently fit him to
direct the temporalities of the University
to the very best advantage for the State,
and the highest good of the benefciaries
of this foremost of State educational insti-
tuition. In public life Mr.. Davis has
manifested that political sagacity
that is indicative of leadership
and governing capacity, and of that
rare and high trait which qualities an exec
utive to harmonic conflicting elements
and unity interests that have common
purpose. 1t is to be hoped, therefore, for
the good of the University that Mr. Davis
will accept, for his induction into the office
will mean the Inauguration of a new era
for the University. Mr.. Davis high
character, his cultivated powers of observ-
alton, his breadth of view upon State
questions, his devotion to the cause of pop
ular education, his accord with the best
thought of the day on progressive ques-
lions and his executive experience and
proven administrative ability, bring him
happily to the nearest approach to that
rare combination of elements so desirable
in the Office he is to be asked to fill. 1t is
not known that Mr. Davis will accept the
trust. 1t is one of heavy burdens, expos
ure to the cross-fre Of criticism, and call
for the undivided devotion of the occu
pant to the duty of shaping and direct
ing the policy of the institution. But
should he accept, we entertain the belief
that he will impart to the University the
vigor that characterizes him in public and
business life, and that he will manage its
affairs and discharge the duties of his
post with such fidelity and executive wis
dom as viii answer every demand made
for the proper filling of the office,
while he will preside over the University
in manner to command the highest re-
spect Of the scholarly side of it, and the
confidence of the Board of Regents.

The National Board of Trade has men,
orialized Congress to so amend the natu-
radiation laws that no person can be
naturalized and given the rights of citizen
ship who does not bear and display to the
Court applied to for naturalization papers
a duly authenticated certificate from the
customs officer setting forth the day of the
arrival of such person, the place of entry
IN this country, the port whence he de-
parted for this country, his place of nativ-
ity, and the country he shall have left. The
suggestion should be adopted. There can
be raised no reasonable objection to max
ing proof of the date of arrival. If made a
matter of record at the port of entry, GER
tificate can always be procured. That will
set at rest any doubt whatever concerning
the term Of residence having expired re-
quired as a probation by the law. For those
coming out Of adjacent foreign countries,
as Mexico and Canada, and not passing
through custom-houses, some different
provision would have to be made. But
some documentary proof of the date of
entry ought to be required, or its equiva-
lent. The frauds that have been perpe-
trated in the absence of such proof have
been burning scandal foryears The pro-
posed amendments will efectually put a
stop to them, and prevent any one
acquiring the right to vote without having
resided for the required probationary
period in the country.

THE COMPLETION OF THE ROAD TO
PLACERVILLE.

The completion OF the railroad to Pla-
cerville is not many days distant. When
the extension of the line was resolved
upon the RECoRD-UNIoN suggested that
the completion of the road ought to
be made memorable in local history by
some proper celebration. The suggestion
was received here aad in Placerville with
unanimous approval. At that time an
excursion was proposed from Placerville
to Sacramento. with the idea of the excur-
slonlstS being entertained by the people of
this city. Since then the sentiment has
grown up that it would be far better to ar
range for an excursion from Sacramento to
Piacerville. That is probably the wiser
plan. 1t would be more satisfactory to
the PlaceTville people, and give the en-
tire population of the mountain city an
opportunity to take part in the celebra-
ton of the event. 1t is not expected
that the people of Placerville will go to
the expense of feasting the excursionists.
That would not be for moment taken
into account, but ii would be the proper
thing for the Sacramentans who 60
up to be able TO meet the citizens of Pla-
eeiville in some convenient place of as
sembly for exchange of congratula
tions, and to listen to expressions
relating to the Importance of the
event, from leading business men of
both cities. 1t has already been announced
that the society of FL Dorado Pioneers,
whose members reside in San Francisco
and Alameda counties mainly, has re-
solved TO run an excursion from Oakland
TO Placerville on the completion of the
road, and that probably some 500 persons
will thus make the trip. These pioneers
ought not be permitted to Guido Sacra-
niento, nor yet could there be any obiec
ton to the two excursions being made on
the same day, and thus make the event
doubly memorable. No steps, however.
have been taken here in the matter. but if
anything Is to be done, preparation should
begin at once. Uuquestionably a good ex
cursiOn of representative citizens can be
gotten up speedily. and at very small cost
per individual, for the trip to the foothills
OF the Sierras. There would be no other
expense involved, except, perhaps, for the
single item Of music, and that s7ould be
comparatively trife.
The completion of the road Is one of
very great Importance to Sacramento; it
Is scarcely second, indeed, TO the interest
Plaeeryille has in it. It is to open up to
our trade region that has been praet;-
cally closed, aud which in agricultural
timber, mineral and horticultural resources
is of the richest character 1t may not be

CONGRESS, in authorizing the Labor
Bureau to collect the statistics of divorce
in the United States, promises result that
will give the country a basis from which
to intelligently proceed in the argument of
the question Of uniform laws for marriage
and divorce. 1t is said that the report of
the result of the inquiry is anxiously
waited for by the Archbishop of Canter-
bury, who proposes to make it one of the
topics 10 be discussed by the Anglican
Bishops at the next Lambeth Conference
and by students of social questions all over
the world. The same anxiety does not
animate our own people, but we believe
that the report will quicken public thought
upon the topic in a degree it has not yet
felt. The laws affecting the domestic rela-
tions are becoming more and more the
subjects of concern among the thoughtful
men and women of the country, and it is
one of the better signs of the present that
they are debated more and more hopefully
each year. The debate, however, is largely
confined to sociological societies, the re-
views of the day and to the membership of
the National Reform Divorce League, an
institution that probably not one in five
hundred has heard of, and not one in a
thousand concerns himself about. There
has been sufficient interest recently created,
I. II Il
to it, and that it has set about laying the
foundations for activity by ordering the pre-
liminary statistics collected, is gratifying
sign. 1t promises possible legislation, I'M
der an amendment of the Constitution,
that will restore the marriage relation
something of its rapidly departing sanctity
under the divorce laws of the several
States Of the Union.
