ting off of communication with this city,
while in low water the head of navigation
would be but a few miles above Sacra-
mento.
There is fund set apart to prevent such
injury as this, and why the Government
engineers have not set about to apply it
the past summer is natural inquiry
There is time even yet to do work in that
direction. There is great deal at
stake, as Mr.. Carroll we'll observes, so
much, indeed, that it ought to engage the
immediate attention of the authorities of
this city and of the county. The Gov
eminent and the State engineers have
twice each reported that this Jacobs
Slough break should be speedily closed,
but though more than year has passed
since the last report nothing has been
done.
The matter is of such serious impor-
lance that we suggest that the Trustees
and Supervisors at once take up the case,
and ascertain if there is not possibility
of something being done yet this year to
prevent the possible departure of the
river from its channel at the point indi-
Gated. Should that departure occur the
damage to property and commerce would
be enormous.

RECIPROCITY RESULTS.

The Democratic platform sneers at the
reciprocity endeavor of the United States.
1t is pronounced ''a sham" that juggles
with the peoples desire, etc. Some COM
PARSONS of exports for the fiscal years
1891 and 1892 prove that reciprocity,
while not all it should be, is in such form
as we have it operating precisely as it
should and to the stimulation of exports,
and therefore the protection and encour-
agement of home industries. In 1901
we exported to Cuba, of corn, Sl55,000 in
value; in 1912, SIT, 900 of value. Oils
increased in export from S23s, 900 to $780,,
600; bacon, beans and pork, from $40l 900
to 500, 900; coal, from $45l 200 to $685., 900:
lumber, timber and manufactures of
wood, from S7O5,0OO to 1851, 900; wheat and
flour, from $3.50 to $4,000. Several
other items make equally progressive ex-
hibits.
With Cuba, Puerto Rico, Santo Domingo
and Brazil our export of iron and steel
manufactures raised from 1851 900 of val
ue in 1901, to S499, 900 in 1912; mineral
oil, crude, from S207, 900 to S306, 900; tim
Der and lumber, from S256,OOO to S36S, 900;
coal, from S548,OOO to 100000; manufact-
ures of wood, from S207, 0O0 to $4,000
and so on through long list. If this is
a matter of 'sham," it would be interest
ing to learn what is real.

APPARENT CAMPAIGN APATHY.

If there has been more apparently
apathetic campaign than this in the po
litical history of the country it has not
been our fortune to learn of it. What
does it mean? Not lessened interest in
the matter of choosing officials; not de-
cline of patriotism or Indifference con-
corning the destiny of the nation. But
it does mean that the shout, the banner,
the torch, the procession and the output
of physical energy in tramping process
sions and roaring mass-meetings have
declined, are dying out, and that the peo-
pie are the gamers thereby.
The stump and the platform are yield
ing place in the forum of debate to the
press, through which the voters are more
easily, calmly and convincingly reached.
1t is essentially reading age, and think
ing is coming to the surface as a more
potential political factor than the
whooped-up enthusiasm of the campaign
meeting.
The decadence referred to signifies not
lessened understanding of or interest in
political issues, but a conviction of econ
omy on the part of intelligence, that the
vast expenditure of money in political
pageantry, and the sacrifice Of time and
vigor in marching and shouting and
working up fever heats, do not pay-that
the need for these old-time aids to sue
cesses has been in all the past greatly
overestimated, and that, in fact, the en-
ployment of such means does not rise
very much above the level Of the boyish;
that convictions of judgment are not
affected by these means, and that if there
are those whose votes will be infiu-
enced by resort to dramatic expedients,
they will not, without such employment,
be more likely to vote less wisely.
The decadence of the spectacular in the
political camp signifies also, in no small
degree, the growth of the spirit of indie
pendence and the lessening of partisan
influences. Men are not in this day COVER
ing in fear, as at one time, of the party
whip; they do not stand in awe of party
prescription, nor are they SO much cast
ing their votes for candidates simply be-
cause their names appear upon the party
ticket
So that while the campaign of 1882 is
apparently apathetic, and very few
weeks of the old-time bonfire, torch
light and uniform enthusiasm takes the
place of months of that feverish order of
means of promoting candidacy and
party success, really, at the bot
tom, the people who vote will do so
just as intelligently, precisely as wisely,
and with as deep conviction of duty, or
with as much venality or carelessness as
heretofore. The elimination of the major
portion of the usual visible machinery of
the campaign period, in short, viii cut no
figure whatever in the result of the con-
for Office.
Meetings will continue to be held, and
they should be; but they will more and
more assume the form of congregational
assemblies indoor of thinking people, in
place of the rout and discomfort of the
outdoor rally and the field barbecue.
Party orators will be heard with more
and more of calm and less and less of
physical manifestations of supposed polit-
zeal faith.

THE one months experience of the
health officials in New York harbor with
the cholera proves conclusively thatquar-
antine strictly enforced at considerable
distance from centers of population and
where there is superior exposure to sea
air is valuable and, in most cases, an
effectual defense against the introduction
of the disease at sea port. This being
true, how much more certain and effect
i've would be the rule of absolute exclu-
sion from our shores of ships hailing from

California has one breeder of cattle who
proposes to win honors at Chicago. be
has very fine herd in this State and an
other in Maine, from each of which he
proposes to send five representative ami
mails. He has commissioned leading
expert at the home of the breed to pur-
chase ten others at a limit of price beyond
what has probably ever been paid for
that number Of the breed before.
This gentleman is to be paid hand
somely for his services in purchasing
these animals and taking charge of the
herd during the fair. In case he wins
first honors he is to receive a present,
which is quite snug little fortune in it
self.
This statement was given by the princi-
pal party interested, who is known to be
amply able to carry out such a plan, but

PIERRE LOTT, in the Forum, holds "if a
man believes he has some talent for writ
ing let him write; writer should do
what he wishes to do, and do it in his
or the rule of any school, no matter how
great" And he adds, with a vigor and
fervency that is very refreshing:
What an author has written in this way,
whether it be memoir, phantasy, romance,
drama, poem, or any other name YOU please,
whether it can or cannot be put into q school
catalogue. whether it have or have not success
with the mob-all this is immaterial; for all
true lovers of artistic work viii surely recog-
niZe ii if they find it in the breath OF life with
out which nothing can exist for them.
Lott is to be commended for this pro-
test against the attempt to develop writ
ing ability by rule and school. Mere
dexterity may be acquired and correct
ness of language, dramatically and
otherwise, cultivated, but the truest rule
for and shortest road to final results and
sound judgment of merit is to let
those who think they can write have a
free rein. If there is pure metal il will
be known by its ring; if there is genius
it will write it's signature on every par
ticle OF work it does; if there is art it will
command recognition. 1t is nonsense to
say that a writer can attach himself to
this or that school of style. His place
will develop in his work. Grace of man
ner he may add, but fixlty of purpose and
true capacity will achieve success, while
mediocrity and unftness will dig their
own graves, and all the cultivation that
artificial means may employ will not
make writer out of base metal.

CoRBETT has taken to the stage and
Sullivan to literature. Thus it has come
to pass in these latter days that the forum
of the drama and the field of letters are to
draw recruits from the roped arena and
disciples from among the champions of
fisticuffs. And yet there are those who
insist that this is not progressive age.

Came Down In sheets

Persons who came up from the south
ern end of the county yesterday reported
that on the preceding evening the rain
storm in the vicinity of the Costumes,
and beyond there, was very heavy, the
rain coming down in sheets.
On most of the country roads the dust
has been laid, making travel good for
few days at least.
