RECLAMATION ASSESSMENTS.
The Initial Suit Under the New Law
Commenced.
District No. 3 Wants the Validity of
Recent Assessments Passed Upon
Forty Defendants.

The last Legislature passed a law re-
lating to suits to determine the validity
Of assessments in reclamation districts.
This law provides that the trustees of a
reclamation district may commence suit
III the name of the district against the
landowners of the district to determine
the validity of an assessment, and the
court shall give a decree as to the validity
or invalidity in accordance with the facts
presented. The object OF this is to do
away with the delay and expense of suing
the owners separately and individually
under this law. After the validity of an
assessment is once determined, all that
has to be done is to get an execution
against the delinquents.
The first suit in Sacramento County
under this law was commenced in the Su-
perior Court yesterday afternoon by
Reclamation District No 3 against Marg-
aret b. kercheyal and about forty more
defendants After describing all OF the
property owned by each defendant
mnutely the complaint sets forth that
the trustees levied an assessment OF So,
OGO on the district, and that the defend
ants deny and dispute the legality of
such assessment. The court is then
asked to determine the matter.
The last section Of the law under which
the suit is brought is as follows:
IN either the commencement nor the
prosecution of an action under the pro-
visions OF this section shall be a bar to
or prevent the commencement or prose-
cution Of an action brought under other
provisions of the code for the recovery of
money assessed upon the lands situated
III any reclamation district; but the judg-
ment given and made in the action
brought under the provisions of this
section shall be conclusive between the
parties thereto as to the validity or in
validity of the assessment; and all actions
prosecuted under the provisions of this
section shall be tried without unnecessary
delay, and shall have precedence of all
other actions, except private and crim-
inal actionsu

THE sMARr-s AYING GANG.

Scurrility and abuse, though it be sea-
soned with wit, has absolutely no
strength. Writers who aspire to COM
mand respect among men, who wish to
promote reforms or discourage evils, who
as critics wish to be helpful to the person
criticised and an aid to the witness, never
permit their pens to deal in the filings and
Itueness of scurrility.
a glib tongue may grind out smart say
ings garnished in a wonderfully adroit
way with words, but if it is abusive and
scurrilous expression no one heeds it.
The writer who adopts the same policy
may be read, out Of mere curiosity, but
he cannot harm character worth any
attention. In the press of the time there
has been a disposition to substitute al
legged sharp and coarsely scurrilous say
lngs and criticisms for reason, dignity,
grace and true wit. If the writers who
indulge in this sort of thing imagine that
they make any impression they are
grievously mistaken. Like gnats, they
may annoy, but they never can change
purpose or affect character.
In fact, it has come to pass nowadays.
so general is this Uplifting of the news
paper nose, and this throwing Off of sup
posedly witty epigrams at the expense of
some public man or woman, that people
now pay no sort of attention to news
paper assault through such mediums. 1t
is only when journal with deliberation,
editorially and with dignity assails that
there is appreciable result and that men
recognize thrust that must be met.
There is nothing in writing easier than
TO write scurrilous and mean thing
wittily about your neighbor; and as a
rule, there is nothing more cowardly in
the world. The writer who sits at his
desk and lampoons his fellow man, in
seven cases out of ten dare not utter the
words before the faces of the friends of
his victim. We believe. however. that
the epigramatic and word-torturing and
scurrillous sort of criticism is going ont.
Sensible newspaper proprietors are be-
ginning to understand that it has no
strength, and serves only to bring the
newspaper business into disrepute.
The clowns who shout loudly in col
umns, and with apparent courage strike
right and left with sharp sword. are
finding out that their blades are but
reeds, and do not pierce or fell. AS this
fact becomes clear to the employers of the
gang of paragraphists, whose sole voca-
ton Is assault upon character and motive
and cruel and unmanly taking ADVANTAGE
Of men-striking behind their backs and
stabbing in the dark-the business of the
gang will be closed out. American
journalism is already manifesting nausea
on the subject, and we note with pleasure
that several journals which have here
tofore given place to these Paul Prys.
Town Takers and literary CAD flies. are
now spewing them out as wholly un-
profitable,

OFF WRONG AGAIN.

The San Francisco Bulletin gets off on

edge. Whenever it is worth while to
point out the fact, the result is smash of
the Bulletins theories and pet fancies.

so full of prejudices, declared that the
testimony before the State Board of
Equalization last week revealed the fact
that the net earnings of the ferries under
the control of the Southern Pacific Com
pany were, for the year 1892, $500, 900.
Upon this clumsy Interpretation of testi-
mony the Bulletin. which RACES most and

proceeds to point out how these net earn
ings can be divided up by opposition
ferries, and TO prove, to its own satisfac-
ton at least. that here is nice plum to
be had for the plucking by whoever runs
