THE LAW OF POSSESSION.

II possession IS nine points in law the
city of Oakland has very decided advan-
tage over the Southern Pacific Company
IN the contest over the water front. Mayor
Pardee, acting in accord with the Common
Council. took possession Thursday and
PROPOSES to hold possession by force if
necessary. The people Uf Oakland seem
to be behind their government. If the
issue is left to force there is not much
doubt as to which will win. The Southern
Pacific will, without much doubt, resort
to the Federal courts. In time past it had
good deal of luck in this way. An order
could be obtained to meet almost
any emergency. One of these Or
ders was presented to Mayor Par
dee while h6 was experimenting
the removal of some of the Southern Pa
cifc's effects from the ground in dispute,
but to the surprise of the attorney pre-
senting 1.-THE Mayor did not seem deeply
impressed by the document. At all events
he ordered the work to proceed, and it did
proceed. There are times when orderly
disorder is in order. The facts in respect
to the Southern Pacific pretense of title
to Oakland's water front are well known.
A United States Supreme Court decision in
a kindred case has declared that titles could
not be obtained in the way the Southern
Pacific claims to have obtained title to the
Oakland water front. But the Southern
Pacific Company would be able to fight the
city in the courts for an indefinite
period Of time. The Federal courts
are not so favorably constructed
for the use of the Southern Pacific as they
were ten years ago, but the laws delays
are proverbial When it is known that
decision will be against the COM
pany there is a certain advantage in put.
ting the decision off as long as
possible. Oakland's aggressive move put
her in the position OF defendant. If the
Southern Pacific cam OF dislodge the city
officials by force it will have to proceed
against them by law. Mayor Pardee will
claim that the city simply took possession
of its own. 1t encountered trespasser
who refused to vacate the premises and it
put him out Oakland is civily RESPONSE
bic for what her officials have DONE
In an indirect way the right of City
Council to order streets once dedicated to
ablic use to be closed may come up for
consideration. When the closing of a
street injuriously affects the property of
individuals the right of Common Council
to vacate the city's title to such street may
be denied on the ground that property
shall not be taken for public uses without
compensation. Broadway was at one time
public street. and the Southern Pacific
Company does not appear to have acquired
title by any judicial proceedings which
awarded property holders compensation
for any loss they may have sustained by
closing the street.

CIVIC DUTY.

One Of the most useful magazine articles
lately published is monograph on 1.-The
Teaching of Civic Duty" by James Bryce.
The subject is all important. yet it has not
commanded general attention, though it is
practice have arisen from the inertneSs or
ignorance of civic duty displayed by the
public at large.
The American people may be divided
into three classes: those who have no COM
plete knowledge of the institutions under
which they live and who vote bindly at
elections with the party into whose camp
chance has thrown them; those who are
so lacking in logical power that they are
incapable of applying principles to events
as they arise; and thirdly. those who are
familiar with the institutions and are capa-
BILE OF applying the principles. 1t is doubt
full whether this last class constitutes a
full third of the whole: yet it is evidently
the only class which is competent to under
take the direction Of public affairs. A
conscientious citizen should strive to know
what is best for his country as whole
he should be able to subordinate party
feeling to what he feels is really best; and
he should sacrifice convenience and bust
ness to make his conviction prevail IL the
community Of which he is member.
Mr.. Bryce thinks this is largely due to
the neglect of the study of political sci
ence in the schools. That science is not
anywhere taught directly, partly because
it is difficult to teach it without intrudng
into the field of partisan controversy; it is
left to be inferred from the study of his
tory. Thus boys grow up without under
standing the line between State and Fed
eral sovereignty, or the subsection of the
legislative power to the judiciary. They
do not really understand the nature of the
experiment which the American nation is
working out. Few of them have a clear
comprehension of the graded machine by
which public purposes are effected through
the fundamentally Of primary elections,
State and county conventions, NOvemDe Der
elections, and finally the action of Legis-
latures and Congress.
Mr.. Bryce. being foreigner. and dis
posed to be polite to this community. as
sumes that American boys are educated
at our high schools to understand the prin-
ciples of the constitution Of the United
States and of the constitution of their own
State. 1t is to be feared that is not always
the case, and that in this State. at all
events. few high school graduates could
explain gerrymander. or give reasons for
provisions of the code on riparian rights.
This knowledge young voters must acquire
after they leave school when their time is
engrossed with business; it need hardly
be added that it is imperfectly acquired.
and that from the want of it young voters
are easily corralled by political bosses and

A kNOTTY PROBLEr1.

A floating paragraph says that Presi-
dent Cleveland receives number of let
ters every day containing recipes for
reducing his obesity. One OF them from a
professional trainer assured Mr.. Cleveland
that if he would follow directions he would
disappear at the rate of 100 pounds year.
Mr.. Cleveland, it is said, was not favoraby
impressed with the assurance. His pres
ent weight is about 800 pounds; his Presi-
dental term has yet three years and a
half to run. Should be dissolve into thin

would often be caught in trap when
scarcity was apprehended. The instance
was cited of California wheat rising to
46s cd in 1891. Had the Government then
been buyer the price would probably
have been much higher. Yet there was
soon fall to 36s. and the Government
stock In the public granaries would have
experienced that loss owing to the necessity
OF sales. The deduction from Playfair's
presentment of the case is that Govern
ment had much better attend to its own
function Of administration and leave bust
ness to merchants and the operation Of
natural laws.

The Choctaws set an example in the
unflnching way they go about executions
Their punishments are too few to permit
of confusion. They fog an offender or
they shoot him. At present the Pres

free shooting. The spectacle Of four men
being bulleted at once in the name Of law
is appalling. Whether the prisoners would
be spared floggng has not yet come up for
solution. The mode of execution Is pc
culiar. A coffin is the preliminary. The

Cheap Car Fares for School Children.

TUBERcULoUS CATTLE.

Experiments have been made re-
Gently by the British Board Of Health
with the milk and flesh of tuberculous
cattle for the purpose Of testing the
effect upon animals fed with such flesh
and milk. The results have been that
the milk did not convey the infection
to guinea pigs thus fed, but the flesh
did. And even when the milk was
taken from the COWS whose udders
were tubercu!ous it had no injurious
results. This, however, is contrary to
previous experience and the general
belief, and is by no means satisfactory.
The greatest danger is from milk, and,
as persons are of more value than
guinea pigs, the possible danger is so
serious matter that risks are not to
be taken, although these little animals
may have escaped the infection. No
tuberculous cow should be permitted
to supply milk for human consump-
tion, and dairymen and the public
generally should be on their most care
ful guard against the danger.-Ameri-
can Dairyman.

PROVIDING AGAINST A DROUGHT.

The matter Of preparing some kind
OF green food to help ont the pastures
during the possible drought should
always be considered by the farmer
and dairyman. The soiling process is
most commonly adopted and always
brings good results. Corn Is most
commonly used for this purpose and
should always be sown in drills, not
broadcast. Indeed, corn sown in this
way may be allowed to attain almost
its full growth and bear, perhaps, q
small nubbin or ear of corn, and IN
due time be cured to serve for winter
feed. Indeed, some prefer the check
row system for corn for soiling pur-
poses, rather than to drill it, and they
put the rows about twice as thick as
they would for the ordinary corn crop
or, if in drills, provide fot one stalk
about every four inches. When
harvested, the whole stalk, nubbins
and all, should be run through q fod-
der cutter and will prove to be very
excellent ration when the fodder
grasses are dry and have lost their
nutriment. New York Independent.

POLE BEANS WITHOUT POLES.

Iplant two rows about thirty inches
apart and about one hundred feet in
length; between these I stretch wire
on the top Of two stakes that 1 place
in the ground about foot and q half
farther out than the rows extend. The
two rows are planted zig-zagging, four
feet apart. l then take ball of sheep
twine and tie the end to the stake
where the wire is fastened. Then I
run the twine down to the hill where
have placed a wire hook and hook the
twine on this, then carry it up and
over the wire and down to the hill on
the other side of the wire, placing it
under the hook and so on until all is
done.
The cost is only about one-half of
what it is to set poles. Then, too, the
vines never fall back; they stick to the
twine until they are taken off in the
fall. The wire is the size of fence
wire; the hook may be of the same
size, ten inches long and pressed into
the ground in or close to every hill.
After the twine is strung press the
hook down to the ground.
Now the twine viii stretch and sag,
but in order to take up the slack I use
edgings get at the saw mill, utsome-
what longer than the distance from
the ground up to the wire, then I drive
a nail through them and clinch like
the figure x. These I place under the
wire at intervals of ten to twelve feet.
When the twine stretches, as it will,
the legs of these supports may be
drawn closer together, thus taking up
ell the sag. I have used this way of
polling beans for three years past, and
I like it very much better than setting
o pole at every hill. Rural New
Yorker.
