NO CHANGE IN COUNTY CLAsSIFICA-
TON.

The idea has been put ahoat that by rea-
son of the gain in census population
the raising of Sacramento county to the
grade of the third class and an increase
in the salary list for county officials fol-
lows, provided the official announcement
of the census operates to that end, without
action by the Legislature announcing a
new classification.
There is nothing in-this idea, and there
is no reason whatever for the officials-elect
or the lawyers "to puzzle their brains" over
the question. Lawyers ought to know
that by the Act of March Is, 1889, the
law governing counties was amended. By
Section 1872 of the Act the counties are
classified for the purpose of regulating
the compensation of all county Of
fcers. 1t is there provided that counties
with a population of $4,000 and under
! $4,000, according to the census of 1880,
shall be known as counties of the third
class, and counties having $4,000 and I'M
der $4,000, shall be known as counties of
the fourth class. In the passage OF that
Act the probable result of the census of
1890 giving increase of population was
kept fully in view by the Legislature.
But with the approaching census in con-
sideration the houses passed the Act of
1889. and in the words of Section 162 the
counties were classified, "and shall here
after remain CLASSIFIED, according to their
population as ascertained by the Federal
census taken in the year 1880, as follows.
to wit"
1t is therefore perfectly clear that the
! Legislature intended to make and did make
a permanent classification, and adopted as
the standard of ascertainment the census
of 1880. AS the Legislature passed the
bill for the very purpose of settling the
question and making permanent classifi-
cation upon given statistical basis, it is
undeniable that it accomplished its aim,
and that nothing but new legislation can
change the classification, for the Act of
March, 1889, expressly states that its pur-
pose is to amend the County Government
Acts of 1888, 1885 and 1887.

ANCIENT ENGINEERING.
Some Feats that Would Prove Too Mucl
for the Modern Engineer.

From the 81. James Gazette.
The hard mechanical training necessary
for an engineer of the present day disin-
clines him to spend his scanty leisure in
studies which cannot be turned to account.
The result is that he conscientiously be-
lieves his art to be the special flower and
glory of the age-in which he is not alto
gether wrong; but beyond that he regards
all earlier feats of engineering as I'M
worthy of serious discussion. Aad the
public, as ignorant, with less excuse, en-
courage this view.
1t is waste of time to ask him how the
powders of Stonehenge were conveyed to
their resting place; how the walls of Fie-
sole or Mycene were built; these marvels
represent the power which lies in the
brute force of multitudes, and there's an
end of the question. Engineering now is
an art and science, with which the rude
work of the savages has no sort Of connec-
ton. One must not inquire why he takes
it for granted that Stonehenge, for ex-
ample, was built by savages, where the
brute multitude came from, how they sub
sisted on Salisbury Plain, or why it is
necessary to assume that they were I'M
acquainted with mechanics. All that is
chose jugee-beyond dispute. If you cite
records of antiquity which tell of works
he cannot rival, that fact alone is proof
that the record is lie; for how can it pos
sibly be that mere Greeks and Romans
should have been able to do what the
builders of the Eiffel Tower and the Forth
bridge cannot accomplish?
We had an amusing instance of this feel
ing lately. The ingenious NJ. Eifiel and
the artistic NJ Bartholdi have been gravely
bordering the Colossus of Rhodes-meas-
uring and weighing it as per description;
and they conclude that the thing was SIM
ply impossible 1t could not have been
set up, to begin with, and when set up it
could not have stood the pressure of the
wind. This is demonstrated by all the
rules of modern science, and he who does
not admit the demonstration must be pre-
pared to show that two and two do not
make four. Those antique personages who
/ professed to have seen the Colossus were
victims of an ocular delusion or fiat story
tellers, and that greater number who men
ton it incidentally, as we might mention
the ruins OF the Colosseum, were credulous
cossips. The fact is that Messrs. Eifel
and Bartholdi argue in the fashion usual
with engineers. Not all of them would

SOUND DECISIONS.

The San Francisco Chronicle is endeavor-
ing laboriously to show that the Supreme
Court of the United States did not know
what it was talking about, when it de-
cided the laundry ordinance and the liquor
ordinance cases. 1t befogs the question, as
usual with it, by attempting to attack the
personality of one of the Justices to the
two decisions.
Now the truth is that the entire bench
concurred in the Interpretation of the law.
The decision, therefore, is not the personal
view of one of the Judges. The Supreme
Court holds that the liquor traffic is a
business falling properly within the police
powers of municipalities and communities
to regulate and restrict. 1t is, therefore
licensed, and reasonable conditions may be
attached to the grant of the license, and
even license refused wholly.
But in the Laundry ordinance case the
fact was, and the Supreme Court so de-
clared it, that discrimination was made,
intended to be made, not because of the
business, not because Of the character of
the business, but because of the classes of
people engaged in it. The discrimination
was against Chinese, and it was intended
so to be. Moreover unlike the liquor
traffic, the business of laundrying is harm
less in itself and useful to the community
indeed, an absolute necessity.
But the ordinance attempted to vest in
the Supervisors the absolute and unlim-
tied power to permit or refuse to permit
the business of laundrying to be carried
on. The discretion thus sought to be
lodged in the Supervisors was to be exer-
cised for the purpose of depriving one per-
son of privilege granted to another be-
cause of the nationality of the applicant.
There is not, as we view it, any incon-
sistency in the position of the Supreme
Court in these cases. As matter of fact
the Justice who wrote the opinion in the
liquor license case enunciated a we'll
known and ancient principle of the law.
When twenty five years ago he sat upon
the Supreme Bench of California he voiced
the same doctrine of the law, and if the
Chronicle is solicitous to ascertain the facts
it will find the California Reports well
loaded with decisions of precisely the same
character, in which the rule of law is
clearly laid down, and is the same as that
the full bench of the Supreme Court of
the United States now pronounces.

THE FARMERS ALLIANCE AND THE
SCHOOLS.

The Farmers Alliance, We have said,
represents an influence from which there
is not reason to fear as there would if some
other special interest organized for politi-
cal purposes. The agriculturists represent,
as a rule. a conservative class that stands
peculiarly for the home and for policies
that in the main are in line with genuine
reforms. This new organization, in short,
is to be commended because its activity is
in the direction of the restoration of po-
Iitical power to the people, that has been
.usurped by the few.
We have glanced at some of the declara-
tons of principles enumerated by the re-
cent Alliance Convention at San Jose.
Among Others not before referred to, is an
article of faith that pronounces with
.mphasis for the maintenance of the pres

The Presidential Succession.

The Speaker of the House of Represen-
tatiyes is not now in the line of succession.
About FIVE years ago awpopularly called
the Presidential Succession Act was passed,
which provided that in the event of the
death, removal, resignation, or ina
bility of the President to serve, when there
were no Vice-President, the Presidency
should devolve on officers of the Cabi-
net, the Secretary of State standing first
in line, with the Secretary of the Treas
ury second, the Secretary of War third,
etc. OF course, no Cabinet officer could
go to the Presidency except one who was
eligible to that office.

THE Philadelphia Record says "the
Farmers Alliance makes war upon sec
tionalism and its advocates" So should
any truly national party. No organiza-
ton is worthy of national recognition that
is sectional. The history of the Repub-
lican party proves it TO have been party
of the people and the whole country.
While such declaration will provoke
Democratic denial and sneers, it is never
theless true, and the historians who write
in the calm of the future will so make up
the record.

emit public school system. 1t may be said
that any political organization would
make a similar declaration, and that all
have repeatedly so expressed themselves
But it is well known that there are agen-
cies actively engaged in the propagation
of doctrines which assail the fundamental
principles upon which the school system
rests.
One of the open and most pronounced
and dangerous of these assaults took form
early in the present year in Wisconsin.
In that State church and party have
united to deny the right of the State to
require the English language to be taught
in the schools. off" say the promoters of
this opposition, which is differed by
priests, "the State can say what snail be
taught in the schools, it may say what
shall not be-" And while this is viewed
by the opposition as conclusive of the JUS
tice of their cause, the friends of the
common school system accept the declara-
ton as the truth, and boldly declare that
the power to inhibit certain teachings in
the public schools does reside in the State,
and that such power is substructural of the
whole system, is fortified by justice and
inseparable from free government. 1t is
therefore gratifying to find the Farmers
T IL
tatingly, and with this issue squarely be-
fore it, declaring for the school system as
it is, and asserting that it Shall be main
tained.'
The party that openly or by indirection
shall take issue with this declaration will
write its own death warrant. The Far
mers' Alliance is in touch with the ma
tional heart upon this question.

THE Albany Argus thinks it will be up
hill work to prove that reciprocity is the
panacea for the tariff ill. 1t may be, for a
time. Nearly all great ideas travel the
uphill road before they are generally ac-
cepted. But the doctrine of reciprocity
has well advanced upon its road, and the
remainder of the way is not difficult to
travel. The doctrine has the advantage
of simplicity, clearness and freedom from
ENHANCEMENT, and is the one and only
plane which protectionists and free traders
can occupy in common.

the drive of our day we rush and worry
until the vital energies, overtaxed and
kept under whip and spur, fail US, and at
the very time of life when they should be
strongest and most vigorous. We want in
this day the preaching and doing of Her
bert Spencer's Gospel Of Rest. American
nerves stand no greater strain than those
of Europeans, but they fail sooner. We
go to wreck when the deliberative Euro
pean is just entering upon his years of
rest, and life's rational pleasures Hard
work is good for man; employment is an
elixir of life. But hard work should be
the slave not the master. Americans,
however, are greatly ruled by it; business
gives nature too little rest; we tramp the
unvarying round of the treadmill, not with
deliberation, but with nervous energy, as
if the end were forever escaping US. We
take "the shop" home with US. to bed with
US, and into our dreams it intrudes. We
deem it loss to get out of the groove and
lay aside for day or for an hour or two
the grind of the Office and the busy mart.
So at last the human machine gives out
gives out "all at once" and every part falls
down with equal suddenness. There are
two causes, and only two for the collapse
of the men of great physical capacity and
mental energy-too much and too little
rest-that is to say, too much and too
little laying aside of the daily vocation,
too much and too little of withdrawal
from the world of business into the restful-
ness Of agreeable companionship or chosen
avocation.

LET all the world commend DIR. Koch.
the great German medical scientist. By
request he sent some of the lymph he is
propagating for the cure of consumption to
two brother physicians, Cornet and Dengel.
They proceeded to speculate upon it, and
charged patient 500 marks for single
injection of the lymph. Thereupon DR.,
Koch announces that these doctors shall
not again be supplied with the matter. In
other words, DIR. Koch is working for a
great good, to discover a specific for a
dreadful disease. His researches are as
yet incomplete, and his purpose in pursu-
ing them is to add new value to the heal
ing art, in the interest of humanity.
When, therefore, he finds fellow-phys
specializing upon the results of his labor
and devotion to science he justly becomes
indignant. The world will applaud his
spirit, and now give him new honors for
his unselfshness and his labors in the IN
terest of suffering human beings, and for
his sharp rebuke to the spirit of specu-
lation.
