In the matter of pushing local improve
ments, our authorities are entitled TO the
highest premium for laggard activity. De
spite what the lawyers may say, one-half
of the dispiriting delay in getting the ma
chinery into motion for the submission OF
the question of city aid to street improve
ment to the popular vote has been unnec-
essary, is inexcusable and was due to mere
negligence, or else to fiat incompetency.
There is no reason in the law and no ex-
cuse that is valid for the waste of three
months, time in getting such question to
a vote. II is, in fact, nothing less than
shameful that the middle of July will be
unon rs before we will have decided this
;,nnortant matter Of street Improvement.
The very months Of all others, in which
The most might have been accomplished
a. the least cost, are to be wasted in IN
activity.
Il is clear that we need an injection Of
snan vinegar life, competency and
sn;ri. into the municipal veins Of sacra-
mento. As things are now run we can get

THE New York Grant Monument Asso.
cation has confessed its inability to raise
the money necessary to erect monument
over the tomb of General Grant. 1t now
asks Congress to appropriate the amount
necessary to make up the New York def
cheney. 1t is to be hoped that Congress
will refuse point blank; that it will then
appropriate money to erect at the National
Capital suitable monument or memorial
chapel, and that the remains of the great
American captain will be removed from
New York to Washington. If the people
of New York do not experience humilia-
ton at the failure of their association they
are insensible to emotion.

THE NATIONAL HOLIDAY.

A citizens meeting has resolved that
the anniversary of the nations birth shall
be creditably observed in Sacramento this
year. 1t is wise decision. The idea of
allowing "The Fourth" to pass without
fitting ceremonial is repugnant to every
patriotic conviction. The people will be
called upon to contribute the necessary
funds to carry on the celebration. 1t is to
be hoped that there will be no grudging
giving. 1t ought to be esteemed a privi-
lege by even the poorest to contribute to
such ceremonials, since they conserve all
that is dearest in the Government to its
people, and strengthen the bulwarks of in
dividual liberty and national perpetuity.
There should be no citizen found to ask
where the money is to be spent, if this,
that or the other locality will be the
greater beneficiary by reason of the route
of procession, the location of fireworks or
the selection of grounds for public enter
tainments. Whoever gives solely with a
view to conserving selfish interests or re-
fuses to give because he or she cannot
attach string to the donation, is unwor-
thy the name of American and unfit to
enjoy the blessings of the most tolerant
and the best ordered Government upon
the face of the earth. Let our con:ribu-
lions be patriotic; given because it is a
proud privilege to be an uncrowned sover-
eign, to live in land of freedom, of free
speech and thought and of the highest
possibilities for the humblest. Let the
necessary funds be contributed in such a
broad and generous spirit that the very
act of giving will be a supreme comfort
and enduring satisfaction. 1t should be
the report of the committees now APP
pointed to solicit of the people that their
reception has been such that every men,
Der felt 1t to be an honor to serve, and
that each one returned from his labors
prouder than ever that he is an American
citizen, and more firmly convinced than
ever that the republic is safely intrenched
In the affections of tine people against all
domestic or foreign assaults, and that the
citizens sincerely celebrate the anniver-
saries of free institutions for the blessings
they confer and the boundless beneficence
of their ministrations.

fish in the common schools. 1t may turn
out that designation applied in ridicule
will be adopted by those who are thus

This is to certify that we EXCHANGED the up-
right piano we had with Mr.. John +. Cooper for
one of his new style J. MATHUSHEK upright
pianos. The reason we did so was because in
the upright we had all the tuning pin. had
pulled down against the thin iron plates, which
gave a thin. harsh, tin-panny sound which
could not be remedied. Mr.. Cooper now has the
piano, in exactly the same condition il was
when it left our house, statements to the con-
trary notwithstanding by the agent OF another
piano, whose instrument is made similar to our
