SUFFERS FORT.
Valuable Suggestions on the Subject of
Its Proposed Preservation

Valuable Suggestions on the Subject of
Its Proposed Preservation.
EDS. SUNDAY UNION: The editorial in
the RECORD UNION, and the article of Gen.
eral MARITIME upon the preservation of this
historical relic of pioneer days, should re-
suit in another effort being made TO secure
it from further decay. The writer will
gladly throw in his mite to raise fund for
such purpose but, having had some ex-
perience with the futile efforts formerly
made in the same direction, would respect
fully suggest that, before exciting re-
Dewed and general interest in so noble an
object, il first be ascertained whether or not
the property is for sale. and at what price.
10 one year from now the elements will
have so injured the present ruins that res
toration will be impossible, and If the
owner is holding for a fictitious value,
based upon historical or public interest. it
might be well to inform him of the pres
ent condition of the structure, and how
little can be gained by further holding.
Divested Of the old adobe structure, the
two blocks will then be worth neither more
nor less than dozens of others about them.
In my judgment, the first and only thing
necessary to do in the matter is to secure a
promise from the owner that be will sell at
certain price, and that he will place the
property in the hands of an agent for that
purpose. If q reasonable price is named.
| believe enough subscribers can be found
in the State to purchase the property.
Even If it be held by purchasers 10 the
same way as East Park, the safety of the
dear old Fort will be assured, and as years
roll on it may be that some public-spirited
millionaire will remember The ladder by
which he climbed to fortune" and will see
that the relic so intimately associated With
his early life in California is further
strengthened.
Go on in the good work, Messrs. Editors
and General, but first get price and bond
for sale, and the success of the effort will
be assured. CITIZEN.

AT Brooklyn, New York. this week a
pack of sentimental Christian science
healers prayed and palavered over a
young woman sick of typhoid fever.
They refused the offices of physicians,
or to apply usual remedies to stay the
progress of the disease. The relatives OF
the sick girl were driven out and not
permitted to minister to her. As a result
she died, died of their neglect and under
| the prayerful ministrations of a group OF
cranks. There ought to be some means
provided to prevent this sort of murder.
The girl could probably have been saved
from death by application of the usual
remedies, and by proper care and nursing
| That she was treated by prayer only-and
we mean no irreverance or impiety-is q
shame and a reproach, and somebody
should be held responsible. One fanatic,
the leader, has been arrested, and he
ought to be given sharp punishment as a
warning to other Anticipated cranks. We
are neither disputing nor affirming that
there is answer to prayer, neither adj
uniting nor denying special providences
since these questions are not now in issue
| But we do say that men who refuse to help
themselves and to operate for their re-
storation through application of known
laws of nature and the demonstrations Of
science, are themselves irreverent. When
such persons expect the Almighty God at
their solicitation to come out of His uni
versatility and omnipresence and do that
in individual cases that will arrest the
order of nature, and stay the progress OF
decay, while they refuse to lift finger to
keep themselves, are impious and I'M
worthy of the mercy and forgiveness OF
| the Creator.

ONE thing that the revenue cutter Rush
has brought to light is that there has been
carried on in Behring Sea an enormous
amount of very destructive, exterminating
hunting among the seals and sea offers by
both the English and American sailors
and hunters. Not poaching schooner
has been seized that did not have on board
hundreds of skins of seals and offers that
had been illegally and wantonly destroyed.
Add this illicit taking to the 200, 900 skins
that the Alaska company is authorized to
take, and it will be no difficult task to cal
culate with reasonable accuracy the day
and the hour when the seals and the offers
will disappear from our waters entirely.
The attitude of the United States in this
matter is, therefore, in the interest of the
perpetuation of the seal and the otter,
while the position of the English and the
Anglo Americans of the New York Post
and New York Times stripe is favorable to
the total destruction of the fisheries.

born, is that of grateful recognition of
patriotic service and honest devotion to
the cause of the Union. The old soldier
inmates, while subject to discipline, re-
quired to take physical exercise, to per-
form some share Of duty, and to be re-
spectful to the local authorities, are rather
guests OF the people than pensioners. A
committee has been appointed to investi-
gate the matter referred TO, but it is not
an official body, and we fear that its in
quiries will not touch the depths as would
research made by order of the President.
He should be appealed to through
the proper department, for exhaustive in
quiry. For it can not be tolerated even
in thought that the aged warriors of the
Union army shall be treated as dogs,
kicked, cufed, Inundated, ipsulted,
starved. The people of the Republic will
not submit to such II eatment of its soldier
veterans
