sYBIL's SISTERS.

Two More of Judge SanderSon'S
daughters Who Have Genius.
press letter from Paris, of recent
date, has this to say of the younger sisters
OF Miss Sybil Sanderson, who were born
IN this city: Just at present the toast in
The intellectual coteries of the European
continent is an American girl, and her
trlumphs on the operate stage are pleas
ant reading for her many friends in this
city. Miss Sybil Sanderson is not only
a success in the lighter operas, but her
acknowledged beauty and brilliancy of
mlnd have made her social fav0rite
Wherever she has sojourned. The King
ana Queen OF Belgium have made her an
especial protege, and many others of the
old nobility are glad to welcome her to
their salons.
1t may not be generally known that
the younger sisters of the fair cantatrice
are also developing talents that will in
tllne bring them prominently before the
lovers OF art and music. Miss Edith, an
other sister, is already one of the most
promising pianists in Paris, while Miss
Marian, another daughter of this family,
has exhibited talents with the pencil
and brush that presage a brilliant future.
Just at present she and two of her ar
tlst friends are located in Brittany, on the
French coast, sketching the beautiful
scenery that has made this quaint old
province favorite resort for the French
painters. The young artist sees beauty
on every side, and recent letter to her
mother in Paris is full of that sort of en-
thusiasm which, if sustained, is bound to
bring success"

ABUSE OF AN HONEST MAN.

The Marysville Democrat manifests a
very commendable spirit for fair play to
the very few honest men who occupied
seats in the last Legislature. Assembly
man Bruner, who set trap for the Err
Gnli1ler with the business end toward
himself, has not been the victim of any
thing like the abuse which has been
heaped upon Assemblyman Bledsoe, who
had the courage of his conviction and in
sisted on making a report in accordance
with the testimony taken before the COM
mittee of which he was a member. We
claim to know nothing of the private
character or life of Bledsoe. He was
elected to the Legislature from Hum
bOldt County, but this was not an evidence
of his honesty. In fact, in these days of
Doodle supremacy, it should be taken as
an evidence of his venality. But the act
which has made him the victim OF so
much abuse would redeem many faults
We do know that this one charge has
subjected him to unjust vilification, and
the source from which this species of
abuse emanates is of itself a certificate of
character.
The Marysville Democrat takes up a
story which has been circulated concern
ing Bledsoe, and sets that gentleman
right. The story published was to the
effect that while Bledsoe was in the Leg
islature the people of Humboldt County
were contemplating sending his parents
to the pOorhoUse as he did not contribute
a cent to their support. Both Mr.. Bled-
soc and his parents appear not to be well
circumstanced, far from rich and in fact
poor. But the Humboldt Times denies
the story and says that Mr. Bledsoe has
made every sacrifice within his power for
the support Of his parents.
a very large majority of the members
of the last Legislature were venal. There
is not a man, woman or child in Califor-
mia that does not know this We say
they were venal without the slightest
fear of doing any man injustice. The
head and front of Bledsoe's offending
was that he refused to use his position in
accordance with the will of a corrupt ma
jority. All the abuse that has been
heaped upon him is due to that fact.
1t is gratifying, however, to believe
that the people are not corrupt, that polit-
ical manipulation may gain control of
public Office and scoundrels sneak into
places of trust, but that the great masses
of people remain true to the ideal of re-
publican institutions and representative
government. And the people of Hum
boldt County viii prove the existence of
this condition of mind and heart so far as
they are concerned by returning Bledsoe
TO the Assembly.

IT was mastery stroke on the part
Of the Chilean Congressional party that
put its army with unexpected sudden
ness between the two forces of Balna-
ceda. One of his armies is now far at
the north, too far by any possibility to
reach the Congressionalists before the
latter can engage the main body, twenty
miles to the south. Balmaceda has en-
tered upon the movement of his army
from Valparaiso north to meet the insur-
gent force. a battle, therefore, will un-
doubtedly be reported within a day or
two, and it may decide the fate of Chile.
Whatever the outcome of the collision,
the courage of the Congressionalists in
taking the position of assailants and in
advancing upon the very citadel of Bal
maceda will excite the admiration of all
men.

THE PROPOSED Nrvg ROAD.

The matter of the application of the
Electric Street Railway Company for the
grant to lay line Of road from street
on Sixth to @ street and out that high
way, will come before the Trustees again
this morning. 1t should be granted
without more ado. The season is so far
advanced that if the people are to enjoy
the benefits of the road this year it will
be necessary to begin work upon it at
once.
The RECoRD-UNIoN has freely set forth
the reasons why the concession should
be made. They are, in our opinion, un-
answerable. They are based upon rea-
son and the right Of the people to have
their official boards reflect their desires
when within reason, and fortified by
the large benefits such construction as is
proposed will confer upon the entire city.
Thus far there has not been advanced
against the petition for the grant single
toIerable reason. Though the RECORD
UNION has solicited any possible oppo-
nents of the petition to present their
views through its columns, not line has
been offered for publication. We must
assume, therefore, that there are no SUBJ
stantial arguments that can be framed
antagonistic to the scheme. Let us hope
that the grant will be made this morning
and further delay avoided.

THE EUROPEAN GRAIN SHORTAGE.

few days ago the RECORD UNION gave
in detail the shortage in grain sur
plus in the European and Asiatic
grain-growing districts Later advices
confirm all then said, but place the aggre-
gate shortage somewhat higher, namely,
300000,000 bushels, mainly wheat. How
much of this gap can America flip is
now an agitating question on the other
side of the Atlantic. Probably something
over two thirds of the wheat wanted can
be sent from this country and much of
the remainder is already en- route from
India. OF rye, which is the chief demand
from Germany, we cannot supply very
considerable amount. 1t is not grown
acknowledgements with wheat
In America, and there is not now a large
surplus, nor will there be this fall The
European rye-growing sections are nearly
all short this year. Russia is the chief of
these, and her deficit is large. This gap
must be filed with wheat and the main
bNHP4g AAAh7N NOtAAN 4lOlIt &AlllSIiCd, LOT
there is a heavy falling off in the Austral-
ian crops, and but fair supply in India.
Under the circumstances this would seem
TO be Americas opportunity. The proba-
biiities are that Emperor William will
overrule obdurate Caprivi and lift the
import duty from wheat, which will
have the effect of advancing the mar
ket values considerably and imme-
diately. The announcement that Rus
STA has resolved to prevent the
export of rye, and all grain containing
more than s per cent. of rye, will operate
powerfully to bring the German Emperor
10 the action anticipated. Russia will
not, however, estop the output of wheat.
for she is essentially wheat-growing
country, but her surplus is 100000
bushels short of the usual shipments. 1t
is very certain, therefore, that next win
ter America will be feeding the most of
the people of Europe, as far as bread
studs are concerned.
The record-union., 1891-08-24

THE French sensational stories con-
corning the Emperor Of Germany have
been counteracted by the appearance of
William on horseback on public pa
rade. 1t appears that the young ruler
was in retiracy upon his yacht in order
to grow full beard, proving that with
all his pride and courage he has not
enough of the latter to face society with a
halfgrown beard. The probabilities are
that there was modicum of truth in the
reports concerning the difficulty upon
the yacht, and that William did exercise
the arbitrary power he possesses. Ger
tainly he was injured while upon the
yacht, for it is confessed that he is tender
of his left knee and that his physicians
refuse to allow him to mount or dismount
unaided. But as certainly the extrava-
CANT stories of the French press were not
justified, and the fact will tend to dis
credit for long time any recital of Ger
man news the Partisan press may pub
lish that is at all in conflict with the
general reports.

THE Washington authorities should
issue orders prohibiting the Life-Saving
Stations at or near Bar Harbor from talk
ing any part in the foolhardy exhibition
to be given there. A contractor. who
hopes to make penny out of the crowd
to be attracted, proposes, after the next
heavy gale, to turn an old schooner adrift
mile from shore and let her drift into
the breakers with crew he has bribed
for the occasion to risk their lives. The
Lite-Saving force is then to rescue the
men and to exhibit, in so doing, the use
OF the various apparatus with which a
station is outfitted. 1t is hazardous and
useless experiment, and the Government
should not permit any of its employees to
take part in it. Such an exhibition caters
to morbid taste, is on par with bull
batting, jumping from great nights, and
level with contests in which the fight is to
the death. 1t is possible that the life crew
may not be able to save all the men: some
failure of machinery may intervene; in
the breaking up of the schooner some of
the men may be killed; in getting the
rescued ashore some may be drowned.
In either Of these cases the exhibition
would amount to human sacrifice of
tered up to crafty a taste for blood. We
greatly over-estimate the humanity and
decency Of the Federal officials if any
Government force is permitted to take
part in the exhibition.
