HIS MULEsHIP.
He o bjected to Being Halted Before the
LEDGER Office

He o bjected to Being Halted Before the
Ledger" Once
The editor of the lone Valley Echo re-
Gently took shy at the Amador Ledger
editor in the following unique manner:
The mule is an intelligent brute; in fact,
scientific Naturalization informs us that he is
endowed with intelligence of both the
horse and the ass, from the union of which
he owes his existence. Generally he is an
obedient, docile animal, and like philoso-
pher, takes things as they come. OF course,
there are renegade mules given to disobedi-
epce and willfulness, but they are the ex-
ception. But, be he good or bad, there is
one thing the mule is always jealous OF
and ever ready to protect-his reputation.
If it is good, he will maintain it such at all
hazards; if it is bad, he will never lose an
opportunity TO make it worse. OF the good
kind OF mules. respected by his owner and
looked up to by his fellow mules as an ex-
ample of higher education, sublime pa.
thence and meek obedience, is one owned
by Dave Mattley of jackson. This good
mule was taken down Main street of jack
son Monday, and the boy in charge
thoughtlessly tied the animal to one of the
awning posts in front of the Amador
Ledger office. not thinking that the mule

quietly resigned himself to peaceful con.
temptation, as he whisked the flies off his
back and occasionally changed the angle oil
his graceful ears
While thus wrapped in meditation, ap-
parently at peace with himself and all the
world, his eyes happened to rest on sign
in front of him, which read, .Amador
Ledger" Then there was sudden trans.
formation. The peaceful mule of mo.
Dent before became furious as he realized
his position. His ewes flushed. he gave an
extra twist to his tail, tapped his ears in
anger, struck an attitude apd-crash, down
came the entire awning. The mule stopped
an instant TO look at the ruin he bad
wrought, and then trotfed away. 1t is said
the proprietor of the Ledger intends suiug
the owner of the mule for damages. Con-
tractor Swain, who was in jackson Tues
day and saw the wrecked awning, says that
II II had been put up one tenth as go ID as
the awnings at the new County Hospital
the mule would have pulled the back end
of the building into the street.
Since writing the above we learn that the
cause of the accident was not altogether as
stated. 1t is now said that the Ledger man,
having written one of his heavy editorials,
went on to the porch to read it to the mule,
but the latter would not have it that way
and protested by pulling down the awning.
This being the case, the Ledger man will
have hard time in securing damages.

THE CENSUS FOLLY.

Now that the census taking is over and
there cannot longer be entertained the
fear that the discussion of the question of
the power of the Government to ask and
compel reply to silly questions will inter-
1ere with genuine enumeration, there
should be free expression by the people
concerning the attempt to pry into their
physical and mental defects through the
power of the Government. The RECORD
UNION at the outset declared that the So
called disease questions" were absurd and
that the Government had unwisely acted
in Incorporating them in the enumerator's
list.
We pointed out that statistics gathered
in that way would be actually without
value, since the people would not correctly
answer in the majority of cases, and that
the direction to the enumerators to nose
about among neighbors and induce them
to tell what they know concerning the in
frmitles of their fellows was at the very
best, mean and disgusting example of
Paul Pry tactics and wholly unworthy
nation. We expressed the belief that the
enumerators would find more trouble with
that series of questions than with ali
Others, and that it would be found a pro-
life cause of delay, and hence of discour-
agement, to the ill-paid enumerators. 1t
hoe tyr aI
made fair wages if it had not been for the
loss of time occasioned by these so-called
physical questions.
David Dudley Field, the eminent law
yer, has written to Frank Leslie's Neus-
paper, saying that the ordinance requiring
answers to such questions was without con-
stitutional warrant, and that the Govern
ment had no power to exact responses to
the offensive interrogatories. The point
of Mr.. Field is one of exceeding strength
That there is given to Congress certain
powers by direct grant in the Constitu-
ton and certain powers that are implied.
There is expressed power and direction
that Congress shall enumerate the people
for the purposes of ascertaining the true
basis of representation, and that this
enumeration is to be made as Congress
shall by law direct But the Constitution
has not authorized that body to inquire
into the Indebtedness or the health of the
citizen. That inasmuch as neither ones
Indebtedness nor the fact that he is or is
not, afflicted with disease, cuts any figure
whatever in taxing him or in affording
him representation, there is no implied
power give to inquire into either. He
adds: "a citizen is to be taxed and rep
resented in Congress, just as much when he
groans under mortgage or govt as when
he is whole in body and in purse"
This is putting an entire constitutional
argument into nutshell. 1t would be
wise thing for Congress to stake the back
track at once and order the Superintend-
ent of the Census to cast away the whole
body of Statistics" embraced in the re-
sponses to the offensive census questions,
and thus escape the expense of printing a
lot of rubbish to which the scientific
world will attach no sort of importance
whatever.

THE day of the election on the improve
ment question draws near, and friends of
the movement should not rest in their can
vass for the proposition. A two-thirds
vote is necessary in the affirmative. The
most to fear is apathy, and it is therefore
necessary to SO labor as to secure the active
work of all voters on election day. If the
proposition fails through the indifference of
the people Sacramento will receive de-
cidedly "black eye"

The new sidewalk construction ordi-
nance should be rigidly enforced. A great
need of Sacramento is cleared streets and
sidewalks. There is no such crowded con-
ditioii here that it is necessary to occupy
the walkways for the conduct of business.
Nor were the sidewalks reserved from the
street width to be occupied by small build
ings for the carrying on of any kind of
business. Let us have the walks cleared
and the old awnings pulled down, and the
appearance of the business streets will
then be so immensely improved that the
Oldest citizen will scarcely recognize the

1T is positively stated by those who are
SO situated as to know, that the fleet of
British sealers that has sailed for Behrine
Sea has gone out armed. If the poaching
Captains mean by this to resist the author
ity Of the United States, and conflicts en-
sue, a grave question will arise as to how
far the English and Dominion Govern
ments are to be held responsible. Both
have already notified the Captains that if
they come into conflict with our Govern
ment in this matter they will not be aided
to escape punishment by the English Gov
eminent. This action may be taken to
indicate that the whole Behring Sea ques-
ton is in fair way of settlement, and
that the English authorities are not pre-
pared to jeopardize the settlement by
standing back of the poachers. Neverthe-
less, if our revenue cutters take prisoners,
it is difficult to see how the English Gov
eminent can refuse to afford their people
some protection. 1t may not go, however,
beyond watching the trials and seeing to it
that no rights of the poachers are violated.

THE effort is now to be made in San

the iron molders' strike. 1t is improbable
that it will succeed. The time is inauspici-
Gus, and the proprietors of shops announce
that they are SO Indifferent as to whether
the thing is done or not. that halt will
in all probability be called, and wiser
counsels prevail than have been given in
the past. The attempt that is made to
give the public the impression that the
loss to California of the contract for one of
the big cruisers was due to the pending
strike lacks the essential element of truth.
The Secretary of the Navy has distinctly
announced that the strike did not infu-
ence him in making the award to the
Cramps. He thinks California has no
reason to complain, and that she has had
full share in the building of the new
navy. In fact, is this not true? Three war
ships have been built, out of fourteen,
upon this coast, and now fourth is given
to the California builders, and two Others
are promised. The truth is that California
has been very well treated in this matter,
both by the Administration of Mr.. Cleve-
land and that of General Harrison.

THE appearance of the cholera in Spain
is out of the regular order. According to
the supposed periodicity of the disease, it
was not due again until 1894 1t looks as
if the periodic theory of cholera is unreli
able, since the pest has appeared now
thrice in years when, according to the doc
trine referred to, it should not have been
manifest 1t seems that the Spanish au-
thorities are stamping out the epidemicby
stringent quarantine and isolation reguia-
lions. Spain has always succeeded better
in enforcing such regulations than any
other country. Six years ago and three
years ago she had the courage to abso-
lutely close her ports against all ships
coming from infected ports, while other
nations admitted them and put them in
quarantine. Spain, on the contrary, put
gunboats off her harbors and warned all
suspected vessels to keep to sea. At that
very time the United States was admitting
ships with the disease on board and plac-
ing them in outer anchorages in quaran-
tine. The Spanish plan is severe, but it
is effectual, and if it were generally
adopted the result would be that no ships
would sail from infected ports, because
their masters would know that they conld
not secure entry to any other harbor; thus
the confinement of plaques to the place of
their genesis would be easy and effectual.
