 After arranging their toilets the young ladies came upon deck. Lucy was tempted to remain in their state-room and would have done so only that she fancied that Jennie was willing to get better acquainted with Mir. Ensign. That gentleman was waiting for their appearance and joined them the mo- menC they came up the gangWay, ana was so jolly and full of the incidents of his life at the mines that even Lucy, half forgetting her troubles. laughed at his witticisms and finally joined in them.
 And so the day which they had thought would be lonely one was made very pleasant indeed, and when they arrived just before dark at the city docks, Ensign arran ued for having their luggage sent up and then walked with them to their rooms, where he bade them goodnight after having obtained permission to call at some future time.

 Il am glad if you like him. replied Lucy.
 "Why so?''
 Because think he is in love with you. saw it in his eyes when he sat watching you on the boat"
 Nonsense. you little goosey. Most likely he has sweetheart already" But Jennie blusheu as she said it, and immediately got up and went waltzing about the room. hunming a gay air, every tow moments pauslng to make some remark which showed that she was thinking of Ensign, and that her thoughts were pleasant ones.

THE DAY.

The year just closed has not been one of
extraordinary prosperity nor one of decline
for California. We have not fattened the
purse so much, because we have not had so
great an influx of visitors and money in
the last as in the few years preceding it.
We have not had such abundant yield in
some classes of production, while in most
we have had greater than in 1888. Epi-
demic has not visited the State; there has
been IN our midst no great calamity; trade
has not fallen of, if it has not greatly ad-
vanced-so that California has ;'held its
own and more, and has enjoyed the con-
tent of abundance, has been blessed by
good health among the people, by steady
advancement, by stability of business, by
broadening of commerce and by social
calm. We have no reason, therefore, to
look back upon the old year with any re-

EVEN in Baltimore, where political CHI
cane has been at the bottom of more fraud
and deviltry relating to the ballot-box than
can be recorded, the people have resolved
upon ballot reform. The Maryland Bal
lot Reform League has been organized. 1t
is composed most largely of Democrats
They have drawn up bill, which the next
Legislature will be asked to enact into law
that establishes system much like the
Australian. An improvement upon the
old plan is for the safety of illiterates, who
may have to call upon the election officers
to read the ballots to them. The new de-
vice is to print symbol or vignette over
each of the tickets, to designate their po-
litical complexion. Instead of all the can
didates of all parties being ranged in
single list on the ballot, each political
ticket is to be printed complete, but all of
them side by side on a single sheet. All
this matter of the method of arranging
candidates names concerns detail only, aud
is very little cared for by the friends of
reform, so long as the secrecy of the ballot
is insured, and the identity of the voter
with the ballot after its deposit is not dis
closed, and the booth system is retained.

MAKING CLIMATE.
Oranges in New Hampshire and Pine
apples in Maine.

From the Boston Globe
1t has been maintained that the mild
weather of this winter thus far and of the
entire period of last winter is owing to a
detection of the Gulf Stream. If this is
50, Why could ii not be detected some
more and make New England tropical, and
raise oranges in New Hampshire and pine
apples in Maine? We believe that certain
audacious engineers have offered to do this,
provided capital enough is furnished for
the undertaking.
To limited extent, even now, it is an
admitted fact that a man can make his
own climate The meteorological condi-
tions of the West have been greatly modi-
fed since it was first settled Perhaps we
New Englanders may decide some day
that, instead of changing our Aannels
every winter, it will be cheaper in the
long run to change our climate and dis
pense with iannels entirely.
OF course it sounds preposterous to add
vocate the detection of the Gulf Stream,
but many preposterous things have hap
pened in the nineteenth century, and who
shall say that any scheme which is pro-
posed for the twentieth century is chimer-
ical? After we have married the Orient
and Occident by bridge across Behring's
Strait and are able to go to Europe via
Siberia in a Pullman car, we may turn our
attention seriously to the Gulf Stream.

THE boast that there are some journals
and some publishing houses that never
permit an error in "proof" to pass to print,
cannot be made good. There never will
be a printing establishment in which
absolute assurance against typographical
errors can be given. Harper Bros. and
the Century Company have both been
claimed as models, and their prints as alb
solutely faultless. But here is the Decem-
Der number of the Century, in an elaborate
article on the Duke of Wellington, giving
a letter the old soldier wrote and dating it
from the "Home Guards" So patent an
error passed the eyes of editors. proof

A city druggist stated that he had had eight
calls for Joys Vegetable sarsaparilla but had
sold his own every time. 1t did not occur to
him that it might be a serious matter to give
his old time mercury and potash preparation

in ten have syphilitic trouble. Hence what
do they want with such dangerous minerals
as mercury and potash? What nine-tenths
Of our people are troubled with is indiges-
ton, dyspepsia, sick headaches, constipation
and face eruptions, all of which are the legiti-
mate results of improper liver and kidney

grets, except for our neglect to have better
improved our time Such regret comes to
all, to some with poignancy, to others
with dulled edge, but there are none of
us who do not say, 'If had the year tc
live over again l would make better
record" After all, such introspection re-
fleets the better side of our nature, the
capacity to review ourselves, the ability to
make resolutions for reform in our lives.
The difficulty is that with so many of us
the moral strength to carry out such reso-
lutions is wanting. For it is the few only
who conquer self and rise superior to the
influences antagonistic to the attainment
of lofty hopes. But let US enter upon the
new year with such resolutions for amend
ment and betterment of our lives as our
judgment commends, with more of charity
for our fellows, more of selfdenial for our
selves, more of courage to resist evil and
achieve good for our families, for self, for
the State and the nation, and we will be
mentally prepared to wish from our hearts
depths every human being "Happy New
Year." a greeting the REcoRD-UNIoN
gives TO all and in sincerity.

GLEANIKGs FROM THE RAILROAD
COMMISSIONERS REPORT.

From the tenth annual report of the
Board of Railroad Commissioners for the
State of California some very interesting
statistics are to be CLEANED. Thus, we
learn that the mileage operated by the
Southern Pacific Company in the State, up
to the 18th of November last, was 2,67614
The miles of road owned by corporations,
and reporting to the Commission, aggre-
gated for 1888, 3,986.59, an increase upon
the figures of the preceding year of 544.06.
OF the total mileage, $3.50 is narrow
gauge.
The table showing the progress of rail
road construction in this State since 1856
is so suggestive that we present it in full 1:

Is THAT genial gentleman, Senator Cor
man, joker? At the secret meeting of
Democratic editors of Maryland, held the
other day, the Senator told the audience
that the reform ballot law ought to be Ia
beled "a ballot to throw the Democratic
party to the rear" He added that but for
the secret ballot law the Democracy would
have carried Montana, and that the flop of
Boston from the Democratic to the Repub-
lican camp was due to the reform law. 1t
is possible that the Senator will find friends
of the reform method of balloting accepting
the reasons he advances against it as
among the very strongest that can be given
for if.
