MAxwELL,s ASPIRATION.

The RECoRD-UNIoN has opposed the
aspirations of Maxwell for the headship
of the Horticultural Department OF the
Columbian Exposition. 1t has done so
foE sound reasons with which our readers
are familiar. Among them was the fact
that he is not competent or fit person
for that important position. That this
conviction is also that of the community
in which he lives is established by the
following extract from an editorial in the
Los Angeles Times, the leading paper of
Southern California, where Maxwell has
his residence:
first mentioned in connection with this
important position, the report was taken,
in these parts, as a joke. AS soon as it
was found TO be otherwise, there was a
general expression of opinion TO the effect
that such appointment would be a grave
mistake, or, as many put it, "a disgrace
to the State The only exceptions were
a handful of Mr.. Maxwelrs intimate
friends, and even they could not claim
that he was competent to fill the position,
but contented themselves with saying
that they would like to see him get it
anyhow However, Mr.. Maxwelrs
hackers themselves Immediately set to
work upon the specious plea that it was,
with US, Maxwell or nothing; that
unless we supported man generally adj
mitted to be unfit for the position, Cali
fornia would not get the position at all,
but that it would go to an Eastern State
Under the influence of the screw thus
applied, some individuals and bodies
were induced to act against their better
judgment and indorse Maxwell, several
of which Endorsements have since been
nescinded, notably that of the Chamber Of

How Is THIS for a matrimonial adyer-
tisement: "a stamp collector, the possess
sor Of a collection of Il, 544 stamps, wishes
to marry lady who is an ardent collector
and the possessor of the blue penny
stamp of Mauritius, issued in 1S47." It
appears in the Monttelt- Of the Island of
Mauritius, and the stamp which the
young lady must possess is valued at
about 81 900 on account of its rarity. If
two such idiots meet they should be pro-
hibited from marrying and propagating
the race of fools. There is too much room
for good effort in this world to permit
waste of human energy in that way.

IT is to be expected that advocates in
Congress Of the Mckinley blunder will
defend their pet measure upon the stump.
We are not therefore surprised to find
Mr.. Reed declaring that the Act has been
''unjustly criticised" But the truth is,
no measure ever passed Congress that the
people took so absolutely upon trust and
with reliance upon the predictions of it's
advocates. But thus far there has been
no criticism of the bill not justified by
developments under it. Take, for in
stance, the promise that it would en-
nance wages and stimulate new manu-
features. Neither has happened, nor is
there any indication that there is going to
be any augmented manufacturing,
over and above the normal increase con-
sistent with the growth of the country.
There are under the bill very many
articles removed from the free to the
dutiable list that enter directly into man
utacturing industries, which have been
crippled in consequence. A very few
were, it is true, added to the free list, but
not compromising for the new burdens
put upon materials by the increase of the
dutiable schedules.

We take tbs occasion to say. that in
anticipation of the announcement re-
ferred to, we have ordered a full and
complete stock Of GENERAL HARD
WARE, MILL and MINING SUPPLIES,
IRON, COAL, ETC, so that the trade
which has heretofore favored Sacramento
with its patronage will suffer no incon-
yenience by the withdrawal of the house
referred to.

say that we are here to stay.

The Metropolitan Museum of Art in
New York is to be opened on Sunday.
But the order has been made with much
fear and trembling, and New York is
about evenly divided as to the propriety
Of the order. This is more than strange.
Boston, a more staid city, and given to
more strict observance of religious preju-
dices, has for years opened her museums
and art galleries on Sunday and no
troublesome protests have been entered.
Boston finds it far better to invite the
people to exhibitions that tend to elevate
and refine their tastes, than to drive them
to grosser resorts. Sacramento, from the
hour she acquired an art gallery has
thrown it open on Sunday, and no one
has even suggested that it has had other
than beneficial effect.

THE truth is, as stated by statisti-

the few wise and clever men becoming

Mr. Erastus Wiman, who is identified
with some colossal enterprises, is of the
opinion that 1.-The best way to invest
500 is to buy a share in some we'll
managed local building and loan asso-
citation. These associations represent
the aggregate savings of their mem
bers, and the money is invested only in
houses built by one of their own mum.
Der The investment is therefore very
safe one, because men will pay for
their homes and the interest due there
on sooner than they would pay for any
thing else. The money can be with
drawn. if need be, while it rests with
the society, and it pays as good an in
terest as any other safe enterprise can
afford Compared with the savings
bank it yields about twice the interest.
while the security is generally just as
good.
''Of course all depends upon manage
ment, but taken as whole the money
of the poor people put into building loan
associations has been more honestly adj
ministered by the poor people them
selves than has been any other financial
trust in the country In proportion to
the enormous amount invested, which
now reaches over S70O. 600, 0OO--reaching
that of the capital of all the national
banks-the amount of defalcations has
been infnitesimal

larger, the purpose accomplished
