The climate of Sacramento CITY and vi
cinity has proven of great benefit to myself
IN throat trouble that was brought on by
the severe winter of 1S74-75 at St. Paul.
Minnesota, at which time / was an assist
ant at the Signal Office in that city. That
cold winter caused me to become afflicted
with chronic diarrhea, or cold weather
cholera, and until February, 1856, all the
medicine took did me no good Subse-
quently | was ordered from Washington,
D. c., to Denver, Colorado, and as soon as
| reached that State the chronic diarrhea
left me, undoubtedly due to the dry atmos-
phere and its stimulating effects upon my
system. Ny throat trouble, how
ever, did not improve any, but
seemed to be about the same. From
that point | was ordered to Aipena.
Michigan, and for two years or
more | suffered with my throat. 1t was
not sore throat, but a dryness or relaxa-
ton of the vocal chords, causing me to be-
come hoarse. l asked for removal from
| Alpena on the certificate of q surgeon, and
| the CHIEF Signal Officer ordered me to Sac
| ramento, where have now been for seven
| years. Ny throat troubles are almost OF
| entirely relieved and have felt no bad effect
| from it until the unprecedented cold wave
J of January, 1888, and expect to entirely re-
| cover as soon as the weather becomes set
tied this spring. When l came here
! weighed 12S To $50 pounds, and now my
| weight is from 142 to 14S pounds. NY ex.
| perience, therefore, proves to me that Colo.
RADIO is good and stimulating climate
/ while the Sacramento valley at Sacramento
is excellent for throat or lung troubles.
think, Mr.. Editor, that the foregoing
description and meteorological comparisons
| will prove to the reader that the favored

found in the northern hemisphere. Very

PRESS EXPRESSIONS.

The New Jersey bill to limit reports of
executions is intended to put quietus on
the morbid curiosity which is so manifest
at times when public executions occur 1t
will also have the effect to do away with
that false bravado spirit which is SO often
developed in murderers, after they have
taken human life, to die game" and have
their deeds heralded throughout the coun-
try This effect will be salutary.-Nerada
City Herald.
William Il. Morrison, late Congressman
and present Interstate Commerce Commits
sioner, is the sternest of tariff reformers,
and when in Congress he always led the
cry for free trade. But in his own district
there is an interesting infant industry -
the making of castor oil. Mr.. Morrison
was always careful 10 exclude the duty on
castor oil from any bill which he fathered
for the purpose of tariff reduction. There
is strong family likeness III all these tariff
reformers They all cry for free trade on
the other fellows goods.-Odkland Tribune
The Suffer Banner. referring to the debris
question, says: The legal issue stands
adjusted by the Judgment of the Court of

it, and least of all could our mountain fell

Representative McCreary, of kentucky,
has prepared a bill which authorizes the
President to invite the Central and South
American republics to send delegates to a
commercial conference to be held in Wash
ington, the object being to bring about
closer business relations between those
countries and the United States. The
Democrats are reported as very enthusiastic
in favor of this bill. The idea is original
with one of the greatest of Republican
statesmen, and was fairly "howled down
by the Democrats when Mr.. Blaine formu
lated it. If our Democratic brethren wish
to make a popular hit they usually look
for the footprints some Republican has
made and plant themselves therein.-Hdrs-

California needs no more school-teachers;

the profit of their labor to a minimum.

supported in given employment that re-
suits in cheat upon the consumer. 1t is
not the price asked or paid of which COM
plant is made, but Of the fact that that is
sold as genuine which is spurious. Con-
gress proposes simply to require adulter-
ated lard to be sold as such. 1t is not pro-
posed to stop the manufacture, but to
make cottonseed-oil lard sail under its own
colors. We cannot understand how
honest men can object to this. When OBJ
lection is raised therefore it must be based
upon the belief that people would not buy
the adulterated article if they knew it.
Mr.. Armour admitted, says the Chicago
Inter Ocean, year ago, that his establish
ment alone consumed from 100000 to
100000 gallons of cotton oil annually,
and one Of his agents has since testified
that the firm last year sold 100000
pounds of refined lard, of which only GO
per cent was pure lard, the 40 per cent
being cotton oil and beef fat. 1t is con-
tended that the combination Of lard and
oil is wholesome, even more so than hogs
fat alone. But that is not the question
it is simply that the consumer is entitled
to know what he is buying, and that is all
there is in it. The laying of the tax iden.
tifes the article, and gives the pure lard
an even chance with the cheaper and
adulterated article.

ERRONEOUS IDEAS.

Mr.. Appleton Morgan, the accomplished
Shakespearean scholar, President of the
Shakespeare Society of New York, whose
many literary works have secured for him
an enviable position, in his latest volume,
Shakespeare in Fact and in Criticism"
used, in illustrating a passage, language
which charges that when California miners
are in need of pocket money they levy a
tax upon any Chinaman in the vicinity.
In the RECORD UNION of January 9th
We took Mr.. Morgan to task for this I'M
warranted charge-one calculated to seri-
ously injure California by giving currency
to false estimate of social conditions in
the mining sections. In another column
will be found letter from Mr.. Morgan, in
which he disavows any intention to convey
false ideas, and, as we expected, pleads
heresay for his authority He explains
that the charge crept in by inadvertence,
and that it was wholly unintentional that
it was made in the present tense. We be-
lieve Mr. Morgan; his letter is entirely
satisfactory, and we only regret that the
error has gone into i book that will be so
widely read as his exhaustive and en-
trancing work The letter, however,
justifes the further criticism that
it never was true of California
that in the mines a custom prevailed of
enforced tribute-otherwise robbery-by
the miners. The truth is, as we have be-
fore said, that erroneous ideas of earlier
| and later times in the California mines
have been industriously disseminated by
vulgar romancers, the authors of yellow
| covered literature, cheap story pape-s,
and Imaginative rhymsters. The result
has been to make an impression upon the
public mind at the East that California is
upon the borders of civilization only; that
it is essential to go armed here, and that
| lawlessness is the rule. Out of this i'm
preston came the :" hearsay," probably,
that was unfortunately reflected in Mr.
Morgan's work. In the early days no such
tribute-taking was known; property was
as secure then as now in some respects
more so, for spoliation meant sudden and
certain punishment. Mr.. Morgan is salts
| fed that the exaction he refers to cannot
exist now. We simply wish to assure him
that neither did it exist at any time or
place in California in the past Had he
been among the miners of 1S49-55 he
would have found them as broad-minded,
property-respecting and order-loving a class
Of men as he could wish to meet-albeit
their methods of administering justice may
, sometimes have reflected their own rugged
exteriors.

THE Exchanges of Memphis declare in
formal resolutions that :" the imposition of
one cent pound on adulterated lard will
practically destroy the manufacture of
cottonseed oil, render worthless the mills
in which millions of dollars OF the hard
earnings of the entire country are invested,
throw out of employment thousands of
poor operators and laborers. and drive from
the markets of the world one OF our chief
products" Then it must be that mort of
the lard of the country contains large
percentage of cottonseed oil. Now there is
no denial to be made Of the fact that the
adulteration of lard, or any other adultera-
ton of food, renders it less useful and
makes it in some degree harmful. The
man who buys and pays for lard is entitled
to have lard delivered 10 him, and not a
fraudulent article, mere substitute. Its
not reasonable 10 ask that thousands be

Speaking of clear days. Dr.. Bennett says
that Mentone has an average of pa clear
DAYS in year The record of clear days
for Santa Barbara was only kept for $50
DAYS of the latter portion Of 1887. Out of
that number there were pa clear days, or
as many as at Mentone during an entire
wear The average number of clear DAYS
for California generally is from III 10 265,
and even if our winters are the rainy s. as0n,
they are anything but damp, dismal and
dreary. For days at a time here IS per-
petnsl sunshine and pleasant weather. In
iact, in Californis, a rain-storm in ihe night

shiny weather in the afternoon.

THE Police Commission, or majority
of it, closed up the Chinese lottery and
tan games Thursday night. This is COM
mendable action, and the officials are en-
titled to the support of the community in
this new departure. All good citizens
should accord them commentator and en-
courage them to enforce the law in spirit
and letter in this matter. But the fact
that the officers so soon as they received
orders found it no difficult task to shut up
by name and location pointed out by the
REcoRD-UNIoN, the games, brings the in
quiry so prominently to the front that it
can not be ignored, "Why was not the
order made long ago." But passing that,
| since it will be of no present value, let the
authorities be consistent in the reform in
augurated, and not merely drive these
vicious influences into hiding, but eradi-
cate them. 1t is the testimony of old Off
GERS that this can be done, and that it
was done in this city for lengthy pc
Rod, effectually and without difficulty, is
sufficient response to the threadbare excuse
so often advanced that these evils can
not be suppressed, that they are attach
ments to the body of society, which, how
ever, harmful, must be endured, and there
fore it is better to regulate" them and
derive some revenue from them. All such
talk is the veriest twaddle; libel upon
Self-government, and confession of weak
ness no community that is self-respecting
can afford to make. The truth is, as
every officer knows, these oifenses to the
law can be stopped the only thing neces-
sary to accomplish that end being dis
position to do it on the part of those in
authority. To plead that they cannot do
it, is equivalent to saying that the offend
ers rule the community and not those
appointed by the law. For a long
time they have, in a large measure,
so ruled. Let it be hoped that the end has
come. But it will be sorry farce to COM
pei the Chinese to obey, and permit those
of our own race to continue the violation
of the express provisions of the law. Let
there not be made fish of one and fowl of
another offender.

A NEW civil rule service has been APP.
proved which provides penalty in cases
where Federal office-holders use their in.
fiuence or authority to coerce the action OF
any political body, or to interfere with any
election. 1t is true that the same re.
straint was placed upon such officials by
the previous rules, and the President had
it in his power to infict proper punish
ment upon those who violated the rule
but there was no specific penalty provided
We may, therefore, now conclude that the
rule will be enforced and lawful examples
be made of sinners. The President can
begin the reformation by looking into the
working of the Democratic National Com
mittee, for instance, as eight of its men,
bers hold important offices under the Fed
eral Government.

The Libel on Miners Explained

Mr.. Appleton Morgan, the distinguished
Shakespearean scholar and author, and
President of the Shakespearean Society of
New York, was sharply criticised in the
REcoRD-UNIoN for this expression in his
recent admirable work Shakespeare in
Fact and in Criticism:
In Henry W. we have the Kings
order to bring back his Amounted Queen
from France and for his
Expenses and sufficient charge
Among the people gather up a tenth
"a process which recalls the custom OF
the miners in California, who, when in
need of pocket-money, proceed to levy a
tax upon any Chinaman in the vicinity"
The REcoRD-UNIoN took Mr. Morgan
to task for this utterance and pointed out
how unjustifable it was. Mr. Morgan
now writes to say that it was inadvertence
on his part, and that he intended to refer
to what was once alleged, and of which he
knew only by hearsay. We are confident
of Mr.. Morgans entire sincerity in this
matter. We present his letter in full
