Six months ago the RECORD UNION adj
the terms of the contract between the
builders and the Government would inaict
upon the constructors of the cruiser
Charleston if her full horsepower was not
developed. The full power was not OBJ
tanned, and the forfeiture was exacted. At
the time we pointed out that the fault was
not with the builders, but lay in the plans
that they were compelled to follow. 1t
appears that this is also the Judgment of
the chief of the Corps of Marine Engi-
neers. A bill has been introduced in
Congress to relieve the builders from the
forfeiture of the $4,000. 1t fought to pass :;
it is just bill and proposes to deal hon.
estly with the contractors, and not to ex-
act the pound of flesh for that which they
are in no wise to blame.
WHO can fail to admire the pluck of
Mrs. Howe, the courageous young Cali
fornia woman, who burst through crowd
OF men in a Chicago street the other day,
and stopped a brutal fight between two
boys, one of whom was twice the strength
and size of his opponent. No wonder that
the men of the crowd skunk away rebuked
and shamed-cowards that they were-by
the presence of the humanity of the
woman, and her indignant protestation in
favor of fair play.

The Louisiana Lottery Company offers
to pay to the State of Louisiana The sum of
81, 100000 for the privilege of carrying
on its nefarious business for another
twenty-five years. The Legislature can
not accept the proposition, but may SUBJ
NIT it TO vote of the people. In that case
the lottery agents will leave no influence
unexerted to secure the consent necessary.
Under the circumstances of the food sea-
son, the distress of the people, the amount
of money the lottery concern can afford TO
expend in corrupting voters, and the
powerful influence OF certain bankers who
profit by the business of the lottery, there
is reason to fear that the infamy may be
put through and the State be tied hand
and foot to the lottery concern for another
quarter of century. But when the Legis-
lature submits the question, if it shall de-
eide TO do SO, viii it not at the same time
submit proposition to license the grand
army of burglars, and the association of sneak
thieves, and the solidarity of the knights
of the road (limited)? Such action would
be in exact keeping with the submission of
the lottery steal.

LET the people not forget that It is of
high Importance to the city that the
Breeders Meeting to open in this place to-
day should be well attended. The State
Board Of Agriculture has undertaken a
heavy task in inaugurating these spring
contests. and if they are not well patronized
we may be sure that the first will be
the last. The stock interest is one of the
foremost in the State, and we should do all
that we properly can to conserve it, and to
hasten the day when the fields and stables
of California for breeding fine animals will
be sources Of profit to US as has been the
Blue Grass region to Kentucky. The speed
contests to begin to-day are to be between
California horses, and some hundreds of
the very best Of the products of our stables
are already on the ground We look for
ward to these annual contests developing
into Horse Bazars," great horse markets,
at which representatives of nearly all the
world will assemble to pay tribute to the
capacity Of the State to grow fine animals.
Let every business man who cannot attend
this spring meeting in person send one of
his employees as his representative.
