his trip to California some forty years ago.
He compares the perils and delays OF travel
at tina. period with the present comfortable
jog across the plains ia a Pullman car. We
presume no one will deny the superiority of
our present railroad service to ox-team
travel. From this admission the conclusion
does not logically follow that the railroad
company is justified in charging all the
traffic will bear 1t should not base its
schedule of fares and freghts on what it
cost forty years ago to perform the same or
a similar service. There is, however, an
idea somewhat prevalent ia railroad circles
that when a company takes possession Of
natural pass through a range of mountains
and gives the public better conveniences
and lower rates than were possible under
former methods OF travel it has done the
public great service. But the proper rule
to apply is that the company which has
secured private possession of a natural ad-
vantage should give the public the best
that can be afforded under the new condi-
tions The public allows the company the
use of the natural advantage not for the
comrany's but for the public's benefit.

WHAT LAW CANNOT Do.
The Grand Jury saws:


1t seems absurd that community should &C.
knowledge itself powerless TO correct an evil
that is admitted by all.
Not so very absurd when one comes to
think OF it. All communities are In the
same fix. There is not city in Europe or
ID the old settled States of America that
does tacitly admit that it is powerless to
correct evil practices no one assumes to
defend. The weak point In municipal gov
eminent Is that public opinion demands
laws that public opinion does not enforce
The demand for good laws Is considered in
some sense as the erection of standard of
morality which officials may be blamed for
not enforcing. But this devolves upon the
Police Department the duty of REFRESHING
irrepressible evils. A duty of this nature
gives the department choice between an
attempt to repress and general let-alone
policy. And In this choice is O source of
corruption as measuTeless as the evil winkad
at is irrepressble. When q community is
really able to correct evils that are known
to be evils it will be well advanced on the
road to model government.

fresh jury might work upon with effect.
The Grand Jury that has just reported has
the advantage over some of its illustrious
predecessors in the evident fact that it
means we'll. 1t has pointed out where Of
lenses have been committed with commend
able accuracy. But its report will not cause
any OF the rascals to be punished. The
Grand Jury is quite certain that with new
charter the city might be more chesply gov
erned. Possibly ii questioned it might adj
nit that with new charter it might be
more extensively governed than 1t now Is.
The friends of what is sometimes called
progress are generally pretty active when
there is any charter making going on. The
right kind of new charter would undoubt-
edly be help 10 the right kind Of govern

Miss Adeline M. Ireson, of Cam bridge, Mass, recently completed her fiftieth year of service as Q teacher in the public schools of that city. and resigned her position, which was accepted with regret, as she is still healthy and active. At the graduation exercises of the Washington Grammer School, Miss Ireson received a testimonial signed by more than one hundred friends and pupils from various stations in life, among them being Governor Russell and Mrs. Alice Freeman Palmer. The testimonial consisted of an annuity of $500 and a silver salver, containing the inscription Presented to Adellne w. Ireson by her former pupils and other friends, in grateful recognition of her faith ful service in the Cambridge public schools"

with port holes. They are prepared
 for siege with hot-water pipes and barbed wires and walls that cannot be scaled or faced. Their thous- ands of workingmen are eating the bread of idleness. But none the less from Cluny Castle, across the sea, comes the congratulations of it's master to President Harrison on his renomination as the candidate of McKinleyism and 'proctection." '" "The people," said Mr. Carnegie, "know a good thing when they see it." "The people. in Mir. Carnegie's vocabulary, means himself and his associate tariff lords.
 So, too, do "the people" who work for wages in the mills and elsewhere. They know ia good thing" also, and they are very sure that thousands oi workingmen out of employment, mills barred and barricaded against them as if they were rioters and Anarchists, em- ployers reveling in wealth and lux ury in foreign lands-all this, they are sure, is not "a good thing" Yet this is the natural and inevitable fruit of Protection, left free to ex- ploit in this great country of ours. William L. Wilson, in the St. Louis Republic.

The hills and wales are fairly alive with biota hunters. Ye editor is an early riser, but when he dons his garments and goes forth at the rising of the sun, already the nutri- tious little nuts, blown by the gale from the parent oak are picked and on their way to market. These small acorns are the principal diet of many of the poorer families at present, and will continue to be so until the crop, far along in the win ter, is exhausted. The natives eat them morn, moon, night and between meals" They also shell, grind and make from the sweet acorn tamales and bread of 1t. which is said to be of excellent quality.-Nogales Ad- yrrtiser.
