CHILE.

At this writing advices relative to the
war situation in Chile are too conflicting
to permit any positive judgment to be
formed concerning the outcome Of the
struggle. While it is true that the insur-
gents have taken desperate chances in
severing their connection with their base
of supplies, they are not in an enemy's
country in the true sense. The people
among whom they are encamped in the
environs of Valparaiso are mainly
friendly to the Congressionalist cause.
This is a matter of vantage upon which
the insurgents certainly calculated. Their
force is but one-third as great as that of
the Dictator, but it is fighting for princi-
pie, has all to gain and all to lose, and it
will therefore fight with desperation and
a vigor that the paper money of Balma-
ceda cannot inspire in the Government
army. Battles such as these are not al
ways to the strong. While the situation
is critical for the Congressionalists, it will
be as well to accept no news from Balma-
cedan sources as true, except they are
confirmed by neutral, or the confession
of defeat is made by General Canto, of
the Congressionalist army.
Since the foregoing was placed in type
news is at hand from the American Con-
sui announcing the defeat of Balmaceda,
and that the victorious Congressionalists
are marching into the City of Valparaiso.
If there is no mistake about this news, it
means the speedy close Of the war. Bal
maceda driven from his stronghold, the
people will flock to the standard of the
Congressionaists. and the dictator will be
left helpless.

DROWNING AND REsUsC1rATIoN.

DR.. +. A. Burial of New York, in the
Medical Record, gives an interesting and
detailed account of the resuscitation of a
person apparently dead from drowning,
under peculiar circums tances. 1t is
greatly to be regretted that the Doctors
paper is written for his profession only,
and not for the general public. 1t there
fore assumes knowledge on the part of
the reader, of certain methods referred
TO, which to the greater number of people
is as blank page. But it is evident even
to the layman that the case is one that
throws much light upon the subject of
resuscitation of the drowned
Two portions of the doctors remarks

lie says that though the drowning ac-
cident happened in the heart of a Maine

printed upon the subject when he ar
rived upon the scene he found that not
one of the approved remedies had been
applied, and that these seafaring people
did not know how to treat the patient for
his restoration. All they had done was
to roll the body upon a tub, barbarous
and abandoned method, and of no value
whatever compared TO the known proper

The Esparto Independent has passed it's
first milestone, and entered upon the
second year of its existence. J. w. Hud-
son, the editor and proprietor, has made
the Independent good paper. 1t viii do
more for the Capay Valley than any
other instrumentality. Esparto is still q
small town, but it is bound to grow, and
the Capay Valley has before it a splendid
future. The Independent deserves the
liberal support of tho people of the val
ley, and its courageous young editor will
one day receive his reward for the good
work he is doing.

THE LIQUOR CASES.

The Superior Court yesterday decided
that the saloon license ordinance is con-
stitutional, within the province of the
Trustees to pass, justified by the charter,
the Constitution and the laws, and in
every respect legal, and that it must,
therefore, be obeyed
This decision is sweeping and full. 1t
is on all fours with many decisions by
our Supreme Court, and is in accordance
with the burden OF reason. 1t ought to
end this whole liquor controversy which
is prolonged at the expense Of good ma
ture, community interest and the COM
mon welfare.
The liquor dealers insist that they are
law-abiding citizens, and, conceding that
they are sincere in that declaration, we
ask them, in the name of common rea-
son, how they square the declaration
with their refusal to pay any license at
all, because the new ordinance rate is not
in accord with their views.
These citizens are sensible men; they
know that if law is enacted it is duty
to obey it until it is by competent court
declared of no effect. But we submit to
the Liquor Dealers Association that they
are violating an essential principle of
good government and stultifying them
selves by the position they occupy. They
teach their children to obey the law, even
lon IL,
Americans first duty to obey the law
under which he lives.
Now let US suppose that one discharges
firearms in the street. 1t is unlawful to
do so in Sacramento. The offender is ar
rested, gives bail and proceeds to test
the constitutionality of the ordinance for
bidding the offense. In the meantime he
returns to the street and proceeds to fire
his pistol again and again. An officer
proposing to again arrest him, he re-
spends: Hands off. 1 have been ar
rested once for firing in the street, and
the case is not yet decided; propose to
go to the Supreme Court with it, and
meanwhile claim the right to fire my
gun constantly within the city limits, de-
spite the law, and until the test case is
decided
We submit that this would be parallel
with the present situation in Sacramento.
Because test case regarding a license fee
is in the courts, citizens selling liquors
claim the right to go on and violate the
law daily by doing business without pay
ing any license fee whatever. This is
precisely the case of the pistol shooter.
1t has been remarked by Eastern visit
ors that it is amazing that the people of
Sacramento submit to such doctrine and
practice. We are told that anywhere else
closing up of the business place would
be inevitable; that he who contests law
in other communities in this republic is
nevertheless compelled, pending the test,
10 obey the law. But, passing that, let
the citizens engaged in the liquor bust
ness, like sensible men and law-abiding
Americans, cease to occupy the position
of the Iawless. While it is true that there
does not appear to be vigor enough in the
city government TO enforce the ordinance
by closing places having no license and
refusing take out licenses, let the liquor
dealers shame the authorities by paying
the license fee pending the litigation.

wish THAI each Observer would mail their re-
port promptly ana as soon alter the 1St OF
the month as possible, and that each OBJ
server will complete his form by adding and
dividing each column, also giving prevailing
direction of the wind, and by all means be
sure and iii up as much OF the summary as it
is possible to do. 1t is my duty to do this if
the Observers do not, and by their not doing

Under the head Of remarks l would be
pleased to have each Observer make all men

or most or least injured by frOsts, rain, hail,

the Director of the State Service at Sacru-
mentO a full and complete knowledge each
month Of the conditions of crops, and also
any meteorological phenomena that may Oc-
cur from time to time. The fuller each OBJ
servers remarks are, will enable the Director
to get out more complete and comprehensive
data for the whole State than otherwise could
be done hope that the new relations be-
tween the Observers of this State and the Di-
rector OF the State Service Will be pleasant in
structive and agreeable TO all concerned.

nothing undone to make our State service
equal TO any in the United States that has so
few observers as this State. In a greater

A Card

1t has been reported by some par
ties. who, presume, are not friendly
to me, and they are circulating it to
my injury, that on last Monday, l
remarked to some one in the court
house ward that if my opponent. Mr..
Thos. w. Russell. should be elected,
it would be dne to the ''whiskey men
and the low class of white people. "
[ desire to say that no man heard me
make such statement, for 1 never
made it.
The road overseers and the wit
nesses before the grand-iury kept me
so busy on Monday, that I didn't
have time to electioneer with any
body, and was badly handicapped on
that great field day for candidates by
my official duties in the courtroom.
Should it turn out to be fact that
u large majority of the licensed liquor
men in the county are opposed to me,
Icannot conceive why it should be so.
/ have simply prosecuted them rs |
have all other offenders of the law
whenever evidence has been brought
before me to show that they have
violated the law, which was my
sworn duty; and other Common
wealth's Attorney will have to do the
same, if he does his duty.
[ certainly could not, and would
not, have stated that Mr.. Russell's
supporters were Glow Glass; of men.
In the first place, I do not want to
proclaim myself q fool. In the next
place, I do not deal in abusive Ian
guage of anyone-and I intend to go
through the canvass with a clear
conscience, and say no harsh words
about anybody; and have always
solicited, and will gratefully appre-
ciate, the support of any Democrat
in the county, without regard to his
vocation or situation in life.
