A QUESTIONABLE PRACTICE.
Putting Boys in Terror of Their Live
To Mnkn nl1ntnn Good

" hahS lHSin OcOU.
Captain" began manly looking boy,
Leading by the hand soiled, tear-stained,
but still detiant-looking youngster APP
parently about ten years of age, to Cap
tain aemenway of Boston Police Divi-
sion NO. 2, this morning early. Cap
TAIN, mere is boy who won't obey his
mother; what can you do with him ?''
What ~ thundered the Captain, won't
OBEY his mother? Come here, SIR" at
Which command the kid approached, Civ

symptoms of q howl.
w here do you live?"
Spring street, SIR" blubbered bub.
DO you know what we do with boys
who won't obey their mothers?"
mo, s-sir.n
Well, I'll show you. Here, officer,
take this boy into the cellar and show
him what he is coming to. Don't lock
him up yet, but let him see,' and es-
corted by two burly officers the preco-
cious youth was led away.
A few minutes later he was escorted
back with the same solemnity, and, with
a face very pale and little dirtier, was
Drought again before the sternlooking
Captain, and tearfully promised to act in
future as cherubs are supposed to do.
Alter he had gone Captain Hemenway
sad to a Herald reporter: This is a
common occurrence here, and it usually
has a much better effect on a boy than
either Furnishing him corporally or send
ing hlm to a retormatory institution.
where associations will ruin what still
remains in him uncorrupted. Some
time ago two boys, really bad, were sent
here by their parents prior to having
them placed III some institution, and
after thoroughly soaring them by pictur-
ing TO them an imaginary fate, had them
put in the guard-room with the doors
ajar, and left them to themselves after
telling them that hope of escape was use
less, for the police would finally run
them down and recapture them.
AS expected, love of liberty proved
too strong temptation, and they Slipped
out, supposing they We're unnoticed.
Now, that was several months ago. and
LED on by their parents, who were posted,
they believe that they are fugitives from
the law, and in every blue-coat they see
a pursuer. There are, as a result. no
two better behaved lads in Boston. Such
results could not have been obtained in
the best-managed reformatory in the
country"

DISGRACEFUL METHODS.

Elsewhere we have referred to the in
justice of the Los Angeles Herald in its
reference TO the proceedings before the
State Board of Equalization, as reported
from day to day in the RECoRD-UNIoN.
We have not taken part in the debates
before the board as have some other jour
mails, because we are content to discuss
principles and leave the ascertainment of
facts to the agency the law has created for
that purpose and to the proofs made be-
fore it.
The RECoRD-UNIoN has clearly and
with vigor pointed out how the relation
Of assessed values in the various counties
can be arrived at, and equalization as
contemplated by the Constitution and the
law achieved. But it has failed to dis
Germ any element of strength in the
vituperation, personal abuse, vicious
charge and the lamentations INDUCED in
by some of the press.
For instance, we cannot understand
how our usually able contemporary, the
San Francisco Bulletin, expects to compel
justice for San Francisco at the hands of
board it persistently lampoons, and one
little less than indecency. Nor do we
comprehend how Los Angeles County is
to benefit her cause of equalization by
rejoicing in the Herald'S expletive BAL
maceda Morehouse." 1t must be that in
San Francisco and the south vulgar abuse
is esteemed strength, ,and that blackguard-
ism is mistaken for manly, vigorous and
severe criticism.
However, with the quarrels of journals
and the State Board Of Equalization we
have little to do. The RECoRD-UN
will neither misrepresent, blacken nor
fear the board; it will not make it's col
umns sewer-pipes, nor will it fail on any
and all occasions when the need is. to
critcise any public body, and with such
severity as the case demands. We con-
feSs that the manner in which certain
journals in counties brought before the
board have discussed the question of
equalization has shamed and dIsgusted
US. State interests are not conserved,
nor community veal advanced by meth
ods that array counties against each other
In bitter antagonism, and cultivate hatred
between their respective populations.
If State Boards cannot proceed with
the business legitimately before them in
volving counties of the State, without
the members being subjected to scurrilous
assault and Misrepresentation we will be
unable to get self-respecting and decent
men to take these offices. If the course
of criticism Of State policy is to
run in the grooves of blackguardism;
If equalization is to be argued
by the odorous strength of the stink
pots thrown; if the functions of a
constitutional body are to be exercised
under the cow Of personal abuse; if equal
ization means only hot contention of
counties for advantage and escape from
the burdens of supporting organization
in society, then we have mistaken the
whole revenue scheme of the State, and
the Office and end of free government.

THE PRACTICAL AND IDEAL.

The Chicago Journal well says that the
idealist, eternally preaching some i'm
possible Utopia, is no longer needed.
This is truthlin a nutshell 1t breaches,
and breaches strongly, that this
is reforming and progressive
age, but a practical one; it is
an age in which human need rises su-
perior to human ideals. We no longer
strive for the speedy establishment of
millennial conditions, but put forth our
best efforts to amelorate present suffer-
ing, lessen misery and assuage woe. con-
fident that we cannot wholly abolish
either. We do not hesitate before any
obstacle in this period of the world. but at
the same time we do not exhaust our
energies in useless reach for the un-
attainable.
Men no longer seek the fountain of
eternal youth, or waste life in search for
the philosophers stone, and devote their
energy to the discovery of that which
will transmute all it touches into gold.
But we do build hospitals and universi-
ties; prolong life by the arts of sanitary
science; conserve public health by i'm
proved drainage and ventilation; add to
human comfort by new inventions;
lessen the burden of labor by cunningly
devised machinery; contest disease with
scientific weaponry; cultivate art, song
and architecture, and difIuse knowledge
by multiplication Of books and papers
and the means OF understanding.
We do not humble incantations, con-
suit the stars, have to do with familiar

Hamilton, misguided and infatuated man

disguise. Is there no way possible by
which such people as the Hamilton and

pariahs continue their offenses against
the stage, we will be driven to establish a

SHOT TO KILL CARN0T.
PARIS EXCITED BY THE DEED OF
a MANIAC.

The Bullet Fired While the President
Was Participating in the Ceremonies
of Opening New Street.-The Bull
let Failed to Hit-The Crowd Eager
for a Lynching.
PARIS, July 13.-There was considerable
excitement to-day throughout Paris, caused
by report that President Carnot had been
shot This rumor proved. upon inyestiga-
ton, to be untrue, but there was foun-
dation for the report. The president was
present to-day at the ceremonies of the
official opening of a new thoroughfare. the
Avenue de la Republique, where he received
an enthusiastic welcome. Suddenly a man,
wild-eyed and making insane gestures.
forced his way through the crowd and
pushed past the soldiers on duty about the
spot where the ceremonies were taking
place.
FIRED AT THE PRESIDENT.
This man rushed up to the carriage in
which President Carnot had driven up to
the new avenue and fired q pistol at M
Carnot. AS he did SO the man shouted:
'Ill prove that there are more bastiles to be
demolished u President Carnot was un-
doubtedly alarmed at what appeared to be
direct attempt upon his life, but the
president was unhurt and regained his en-
tire presence of mind.
ANXIOUS TO LYNCH HIM.
The man who fired the shot was promptly
arrested by the police, and such was the
anger of the crowd present that the officers
had the greatest difficulty in protecting
their prisoner from becoming a victim of
the popular fury which he had excited As
it was it required the services of a strong
force of police to escort the man in safety
to the nearest police station. Upon arrival
there the mans examination soon disclosed
the fact that he was mailman, and that he
had just been released from confinement in
a lunatic asylum.

RICHMOND, Va, July 13.-The Davis
Monument Association and chamber of
commerce committee, consisting of Gen.
Joseph R. Anderson, Mayor ]. Taylor Ely
son, Gen. Peyton Wise, Col. John B.
Cary, and Judge George L. Chris
tiaD, have received the following
letter from Mrs. jefferson Davis,
which accompanied copy of an open letter
sent out addressed to the veterans and people
of the southern states: Through you, l
return grateful acknowledgement Of my
children and myself to President j. B. Pur-
cell and the chamber of commerce of Rich>
mond, as well as to the state of Virginia,
for the many cordial utterances they have
made regarding ex-President Davis.
THEIR MORAL SUPPORT.
while he lived and strove with power
full foe, their moral support was equal to their
substantial aid, aud went very far toward
strengthening his soul FOR the conflict, un-
equal as it was. In answer to your invita-
tion | yield my husbands mortal remains
to the care of Virginia, secure in the cer-
talnty that he will rest among his friends
who stood as firm in defeat as they did in
the dawn of the confederate states exist
enoe, and prefer Richmond as the place OF
his intsrment.n
THE SITE.
The question of a site for the mausoleum
and for the monument is now Cne of alb
sorbing interest, and various suggestions
are being made, but as Richmond has said
to Mrs. Davis that she would be asked TO
select any site she chose, nothing will be
done in this matter until she is able to con-
fer with the people. It is believed
that Mrs. Davis wishes the body
to rest in the grounds Of the Davis man
sion at the corner of Twelfth and Clay
streets, and it is thought that she will pre-
fer TO have the monument also in that sec
tion of the city. Considerable money has
already been raised for the monument and
it is expected that the south will generally
contribute.

WASHINGTON, July 13.-First Controller
Matthews made a ruling to-day that judges
and other officers of the private land claims
court organized June 10 under the act of
the last congress, can receive no compensa-
tion for Uheir services until they shall have
been confirmed by the Senate. These ap-
pointments were made by the President in
May last, in accordance with the
opinion of the Attorney General. The
first controller said this afternoon
that he had not passed on the question as to
whether a newly-created office can be
legally filed during recess OF tho Senate.
He had merely decided that persons ap-
pointed to an office of that kind cannot le-
galy be paid salary until he shall have been
confirmed by the Senate. Unless he modifies
this rule no money will be advanced by the
treasury department for the salaries or ex-
penses Of this court until next December at
least. This leaves affairs in this position.
The Attorney General saws the President can
appoint officers Of the court, they are ap-
pointed. and the controller says they can
receive no pay for months. A North Caro-
lima man is a member of the court
