fer of the bay fishing to the free lance
Chinese and other constituencies fishers
who will soon deplete those waters. This
hatchery near San Francisco would cost
but 81 200, but the State of California is
pronounced too poor to erect it, and thus
forward the work of multiplying the food
of the poor.
DIR. Eigenmann tells US we have but a
limited variety of food fishes in Califor-
MIA, and that that supply will become ex-
tinct unless guarded by State appointed
agents, is the testimony of all familiar
with the facts. We are convinced that
the most misdirected economy to which
this Legislature could possibly commit
itself would be the abandonment of the
Fish Commission, which has also done
much to promote and protect game inter
ests. The idea of dismissing the guardi-
rewards to stimulate Constables to enforce
the fish laws, is little short of idiotic.
Such an idea too much exalts the opinion
of the country Constable and greatly un-
derestimates the wholesome fear he has
of the predatory rascals who rake the
bays and streams and snap their fingers
at the laws.
The idea that merely passing bills is
going TO protect the fishery interests of
IN io nd hot ,la
late suburban officials to constitute them
selves guardians ofthe streams is assinine.
The intelligence of which the idea was
born probably is as ignorant of the i'm
mense value of the fish interests of Cali
fornia, and the Indifference to them of
county officials, as of the canals of Mars.
To maintain the museum of mining
specimens, dried South American In
dians, stuffed birds and snakes, the bones
of Brazilian apes and the plaster and
wood designs of tunnel and shaft delving
in the bowels of the earth, at the expense
of the fisheries of California, is an idea
too stupendously stupid to be grasped
by intelligences which believe State is
poor indeed, that abandons the cheapest,
freest, and one of the most inviting OF her
food supplies.
Let people who have knowledge of the
value of our fishery and game interests
and who realize the economy of expend-
ing decent sum Of money to protect and
promote them, protest loudly and en-
phatically against the proposition of the
Assembly Committee. The commission,
instead of being abandoned, ought to be
strengthened, given greater authority
concerning game preservation, more
money and more helpers, together with
commendatory slap upon the shoulder,
with the request to continue in we'll
doing"

ing. Two years ago the United States
hatchery could furnish the State with but
100000 salmon eggs, where formerly it
could supply California with 10000, 600
and IL, 100000, and the Legislature is au-
thoritatively informed that the falling off
is due to the remorseless assaults of the
fishermen with their nets in the lower
Sacramento.
The question now is, Who owns the fish
in the streams-the Gamers and fisher
men or the State; the pirates or the peo-
pie? The Legislature is to decide the
matter. One of its houses has conceded a
month out of the period that should be
closed season, and it remains to be seen
If even the poor remainder can be secured
for the people. 1t is simply amazing that
the State and Federal commissions should
be so little respected by the Legislature,
and that their recommendations which
are wholly unselfish and can have behind
them no motive not knit into public in
terest, should be treated SO cavalierly.

THE VISIT OF THE PRESIDENT

l. q
The President of the United States is
to visit California soon. A proposition to
invite him to spend day in the Capital
City has met with the suggestion that
1t is too soon to extend the invitation:
that it is better policy to wait until nearer
the date of his departure for the coast,
when the programme of the movements
of the party will be determined.
This objection is not well taken; the
very reason offered for delay is the very
best Of all reasons for forwarding the in
vitation at once. If Sacramento waits,
the programme will be filled and the
President will respond only with re-
grets.
When President Hayes came to the coast
the people Of acity of neighboring Terri
tory desired oinvite him to visit them. The
same objection was raised when the con-
templated visit was announced, that is
now advanced here. 1t prevailed, but
1.-THE Chief Justice of the Territory who
was more far-seeing than his fellow citi-
zens, acted of his own notion, and for
warded courteous and earnest invita-
ton. The result was, that when the
President arrived upon the coast he
visited the city referred to, and among
the first to meet him was the Chief Jus
tice. Said President Hayes to him, taking
out his pocllet-diary, Judge, yours was
the first invitation our party received. 1
resolved that it should be accepted if no
others were, and here we are to see your
city and learn of your Territory. Down
here at the foot of the list are notes, you
will see, of fifty other invitations for
which there can be no dates, much to our
regret, but our time is filled up"
This little story tells its own moral.
The first to forward invitations will be
the first in all probability to receive re-
plies OF acceptance. We trust that Mayor
Comstock will not take the advice given
him, but as the chief official of the Capital
City invite the President of the United
States and his party, in the name of the
city, and that he will send on the invita-
ton within the hour. It is eminently
fitting that the President, the second who
has ever visited the coast should receive
his first invitation to visit the sections of
California, from the Capital City of the
State. Here he viii be met in the States
Capital by the States Governor after he
shall have been welcomed and received
by the clty's official head. The reasons,
therefore, why Mayor Comstock should
act promptly are dual, and it is to be
hoped that he will have the resoluteness
to act now and not wait until the other
cities of California shall have filled up the
Presidents programme.
If it shall turn out that the expected
guest cannot respond with positiveness,
since he is to come as the guest of Senator
Stanford, nevertheless the duty that is
incumbent upon the Capital City will
have been discharged promptly. To be
laggard in the matter will be discreditable
to us.

Mr.. Hooper that her salary would be PAID In
