1t would arouse an interest otherwise
dormant and aid in directing public SEN
timent."
The Prospect adds that this side of the
Mississippi no attempt at any system has
ever been made, and though money
enough has been expended in repairing
poorly made roads-taking the years to-
gether-to make them as good as the best
in Europe, still our roads are no better
than fifty years ago.
Had this county, twenty years ago, issued
iIs oOnus Tor S1O0, 900, and with the money
DU4t, IN a sc1entinc and thorough manner
good roads on all OF its main travelled thor
oushIares. We would to-day have some
thlng to show for it, and the burden on the
taxpayer would have been no heavier than
dlow, at,;. JuT ROADS have cost US on an average
tnan they were twenty years ago, or they
were not I'LL this year.
Assuming the Prospects figures to be
correct, the county of alaveras has ex-
pended in twenty years S220, 900 without
permanent benefits. If so much as that
has been wasted in a county situated as
Is Calaveras, what must have been the
actual loss to producers and taxpayers in
counties that use roads for the delivery
of products ten to two compared with
like use in Calaveras? For it is true that
few, if any counties, excepting only
some narrow coast strips of territory, can
make any better showing of permanent
road benefits than does Calaveras.

State Normal School in Santa Clara
County as virtually San Jose schoorr;
or OF the State University as virtually an
Alameda College?' 1t does not speak
well for the general intelligence when
such journals as the Star commit them
selves to be vehicles for the dissemina-
ton of such gross misapprehension and
error.
AS to the State Library being costly
institution, as the Star charges, that is a
matter of distinct character 1t has no
relation to Sacramento. Neither has the
cost of maintaining the State Printing
Office, to which the Star also refers. To
neither cost does Sacramento add.
Wherever located they would cost the
people precisely the same amounts. But
let not the Star run away with the idea
that the State maintains at Sacramento
any institution for Sacramento's benefit.
If it did, it would be most indefensible
policy.
The State has never given Sacramento
a dollar, not cent or mill. In fact, the
shoe is upon the other foot-the State has
received from Sacramento as pure dona-
ton many thousands of dollars in values.
Sacramento receives from the State moth
ing beyond the protection of the laws.
She stands with the State precisely upon
the same level and with no greater ad-
vantages than are enjoyed by the people
of any other city or town. There is need
to say this much, since there appears to
be industrious cultivation in some quar-
ters of the idea that Sacramento is a State
pensoner, and has received from the
State of California great bounties of some
sort,

THE WATER BIDS.
sort.

The Board Of Trustees are now adver-
tising for bids to furnish this city with
pure, clear water for domestic purposes.
Sacramento is proposing to capital to
supply her with water for so much
per million gallons, she retaining the
right to fix her own water rates, to collect
her water fees and to purchase the water
supply plant after term of years, she
not being able to do so now, nor until
her present Indebtedness is wiped out.
Now this is an offer to capital of a most
attractive character. 1t ought therefore
to be brought to the attention of the
largest possible number of capitalists.
and to that end the specifications and the
invitation for bids should be circulated in
capitalistic centers at the East We trust
that this will be done; that the official
asking will be printed on slips and sent
to Eastern centers and distributed SO as
to invite the bids of as many desirable
bidders as possible.
This is an opportunity for the invest
ment of capital which is likely to attract
men of large means who would become
useful citizens here, and whose invest
ment would give them such interest in
Sacramento as to greatly enhance it's

FALSE IDEAS EXPLODED,

The Pasadena Star charges that the
State Library is virtually a public library
for Sacramento. Was there ever a greater
Sacramento residents do not
and cannot use the State Library, except
that they mayvisit it precisely as any citi-
zen of the State may do, and Saora-
mentans are supposed to be citizens of
California The people of Sacramento,
as a matter of fact, do not visit the State
Library nearly so much as they should
indeed very few of them go near it. The
people have fine City Library of their
own of some 10000 volumes, and with
superior reading-rooms, and Of which
they are justly proud. and which they
avail of very freely. In addition the odd
Fellows Library Association maintains
a handsome library that has large client
age.
1t does not appear to be known to the
star that books cannot be drawn from the
State Library except by State officials.
hence locally the library has little sig
nitcance. We presume that by the same
token by which the Star speaks of Sacra-
mento it would call the Congressional
Library Washington Library; the
splendid State Library of New York an
Albany institution; the fine library of
Virginia Richmond collection. Ii the
capital were located at Pasadena we might
with as much justice speak of the State
Library as virtually Pasadena concern.
This disposition to localize state insti-
tutions, TO attach the locality of State
institution to the institution itself. is a
our contemporary say if we-spoke of the

HARD TIMES POLICY.

There is compl laint of hard times. That
there is stringency in the money market
IS true; that considerable shrinkage in
some trade results from the outgoing of
so many people to the Worlds Fair is
true; that banking institutions are taking
extraordinary precautions to prevent a
panicky condition is true. But in this
there is only that which we all knew was
likely to occur. What had not been fore
seen was shortage in crop production and
the adoption of suicidal policy Of Grip
pling transportation interests. Con-
sumption is not less but greater than it
was year ago; export and import sta
tistics do not show abnormal conditions
in those directions.
We are not spending i'll the United
States more than we are receiving, as a
people; in fact, the incoming visitors
from the world at large and the few peo-
pie who 60 out to Europe this year re-
suit in an extraordinarily large amount
Of money being left in this country. The
Pacific States feel somewhat sharply.
however, as must have been anticipated.
the withdrawal of considerable money
probably from $4,000, 900 to $4,000. 900
in half yearly those who go
from the coast to Chicago to visit the
fair. The failures at the East have
created a feeling Of alarm, and there
is outstanding of cash resources and max
ing ready to prevent runs and the push
ing of debtors to the wall.
After a careful examination of the East
ern press comments and the financial re-
views, we are inclined to think that the
worst has come and has passed; that con
fidence will very soon take the place of
distrust; that the disposition will be soon
manifest along the whole line not to push,
but to relieve creditors, as the wiser
policy, and that the bank failures at the
East will be found not to have shaken
confidence to any appreciable degree in
the really stable and important institu-
it is not likely that there will be any
harder conditions than now prevail, and
through such seasons the State has passed
more than once.
The right thing to do in all such periods
is to be helpful, not oppressive. In hard
times even greater energy should be
manifest in business. In hard times is
the best of all times for those having
means in plenty to spend them freely. In
such periods the man with means to in
vest, and put into circulation through the
avenues of industry, is really a chief
among benefactors if he chooses to be.
The one folly above all others is to engage
in pinching process when there is no
absolute demand for it. In similar sea-
sons we have known of scores of in
stances, within a comparatively limited
circle, in which simply because trade was
dull and industry slow, people amply
provided with means and not at all dis
tressed made the dulIness excuse for
putting the screws upon debtors, and
forcing them to the wall, when in fact
there was not less security than before and
no greater danger of loss. All such action
results in pressure along the whole line,
and becomes a menace to any commun-
ity. In hard times is when the greatest
value of heIpfulness should be demon

que, por su indiscutible utilidad para

muchas ocupaciones que pesan sobre

nicipales; va por Ia indispensable no

tes, que suelen residir a algunas le-
guas dc la poblacion; va, en- fin, por

sitos que deben llenarse en- ese genero
de expedientes, la tramitacion de es-
tos SO hace muy larga y costosa, ts-
niendo q veces los interesados que
gastar la mitad la euarta parte del
valor de la fnca que tratan de inscri-
bir y aguardar algunos meses, antes
de tener Ell t1tulo de propiedad en- for
ma legal.
Con ell nuevo procedimiento que

esa tramitacion, cuando SO trata de
bienes inmuebles cuyo valof no exec
de de 800 pesos, 81 que tambien, por

mico En- este case, bastara, seg1n
el articulo 80 de la nueva Ley, que
para enagenar gravar esos bienes,

tigos ante el respective Notario. Ell

pei de o6cio y la copia, en- papel de
