Layman's View of the Effect of the
Ford HYlranIIc BILL

Ford Hydraulic Bill.
EDS. RECoRD-UNIoN: Some fears have
been expressed in this and other river
communities that the passage of the Ford
hydraulic bill will have the effect of depre-
ciating values and checking investment.
under the assumption that Immediately
the miners will set their monitors in
operation along the whole line.
1 hold different view of the case and
beg room to express it. [ do not think
that there is any substantial reason to en-
terrain fear that any one, or the river. is
going to suffer harm because of the Ford
bill. All that can happen will be the APP
peal to law to determine rights. And
these are my reasons:
The Legislature cannot give to any one
the right or license to do an injury to an
other. The use of the word ''materialv
i'll the bill-that hydraulic mining NAV
be prosecuted If it does not do material
injury, etc.-kills the bill, for the law
making power has not the constitutional
or any other authority to give any one
the license to do eSen slight injury.
The use of the word "material'' is the
coffin of the bill, because the law-mak err
cannot authorize the doing of any injury
or anything in the violation of the in
alienable right of another. The very first
effort made to justify under the bill will
result in the court holding-there is no
escape from it-that the law is without
vitality. To illustrate. Suppose A plays
stream of water upon bank OF earth,
and washes the soil down upon the land
OF B, to its injury; suppose A to be en-
joined on the application of B, and that A
pleads a statute authorizing the PLAYING
Of water against a bank to wash down
the soil, where such washing will do no

Guilty of Burglary.

Bob Bailey Not Certain That He is
Guilty of Burglary.
When Judge Catlin yesterday asked
Bob Bailey whether he was guilty or not
guilty of the charge of burglary. Mir.
Bailey thought that about next Friday he
would be prepared to pass an opinion on
the conundrum.
Possibly John Riley, the grocer at
Tenth and E streets, might be able to
help Mr.. Bailey i'll reaching a conclusion,
for he has very distinct recollection OF
catching the latter while in the act OF
burglariiIng his store on the night of the
2Sth of January last, when Bailey was
brought to bay by bullet from Riley
revolver.
The little incident appears to have es-
capped the prisoners memory.

An Eastern Firm Gets Judgment
Against a Local House.
Judge Catlin yesterday rendered a de-
cision in favor of the plaintiffs in the
case of Rubin & Co. VS.. Hale Bros. Il Co.
for $3.50 G3. The defendants claimed that
they bought bill of goods from the
agent of the plaintiffs under a guarantee
that they would sell the same style of
goods to no ore else in Sacramento,
Stockton, Petaluma or San Jose. Shortly
afterward they found that another firm
in this city were handling the same
goods, and wrote plaintiffs that they
would hold the goods subject to their or
der unless protected according to con-
tract.
The court held that the defendants
should have sent the goods back, to-
gether with the price of those sold before
discovering that others We're selling SINH
lar goods.

Confession

1t is a shameful confession to
make that many people are
willing to use adulterated arti-
cles because they are cheaper,
and in doing SO often subject
ing themselves to injurious
effects, for it must not be
supposed that those who are
willing, at the cost of repu-
tation and for the purpose of
gain, to impose adulterated
goods upon the public, would
hesitate to use injurious
adulterants.

SHE KNEW THE TIME.

Name a mule that drags cars at
the breaker Of a Lackawanna valley
coal mine, keeps closer track Of the
time than the men, says Scranton
dispatch to the New York World. A
minute or 50 before the whistle blows
at noon Name begins to bray and paw
and stamp, but does not refuse to pull
the cars.
The instant the whistle sounds, how
ever Name comes 10 a dead stop, and,
no matter in what part OF the yard she
IS working. she cannot be coaXed OF
forced to pull pound until she has
had her dinner.
Then she works as faithfully as an
OK until just before the whistle is go
ing to sound the quitting time blast,
when she brays again, but does not
paw or stamp Is at nOOntline. She
won't stir a peg after the first tOOt OF
the steam whistle, and the driver boy
knows better than to try to make her
haul the trip OF cars by whipping her
The mule keeps such close track OF
the time that she has not failed in two
years to bray minute OF two before
the whistle blew at noon and night.
She never brays the wOrkmen say, eX-
cept when she thinks it is nearly time
to quit work for her dinner or supper
Name also knows when Sunday
comes, as the Worhmen ascertained
three times last year II became nee
essary on Sunday last april to do a
little extra work III the yard and the
mule was hitched to q trip Of cars IN
the morning. She wouldn't take step
and they had to put her IN the barn.
On Monday morning Name went to
pulling the cars as usual, and she
didn't finch a particle III her iabors.
They tried her again on Sunday
morning in June, but she wouldn't
even straighten the traces. She work
ed all right the next day. On July
Sunday the men hitched her to a trip
again, but she couldn't be c0aXed to
pull an ounce and they came to the
| conclusion that Name was Il strict
sabbatarian. Since then they haven't
attempted to make the mule work on
a Sunday.
Il knew Name before we bought
her" said the foreman. 'and | told
tie boy never to hitch her to fom
cars, and she went ahead all right till
she heard the third link click. She
had been used to hear only two links
click, and she came to a dead stop the
moment she heard the third click, and
she wouldn't bulge an inch till the
boy unlocked the hind car. Then
she went right along as though she
was satisfied
Name is always III as big a hurry
to get to work in the morning on every
week day as she is to stop when the
whistle blows. Il the boy doesn't &C
to her stall by the time the machinery
has been started in the breaker Name
bites the manger and kicks agaIns
the sides Of the stall as though sh'
was determined to make him come
and harness her. But on Sunday,
and whenever the breaker IS idle a
other times Name makes no fuss il
the stall if the boy doesn't go III t

GRANT HAD No EAR FOR MUSIC

Gen. Ulysses 5. Grant was not a
musician. While he lay no claim to
any talent in that direction he took a
certain degree o. pride IL being able
to distinguish two tunes from all that
he ever heard. says a Galena I'D let
ter IN the Chicago Tribune He fre-
quently remarked that he never failed
torecognize odd Hundred and Yam
kce Doodle" The following incident
which occurred a number Of years ago,
serves TO illustrate that he was liable
to be mistaken when his musical ear
was put to the test
In the spring OF 1880 Gen. and Mrs.
Grant We're in Galena, occupying the
house which Airs. Grant still owns.
April y, the 1ifty-ninth birthday Of
Grant, number of his friends and
fell0Wt tOWnsmen, in recognition Of the
event gathered at his home to treat
him to a serenade and wish him many
happy returns. The Gernania Band
Of Dubuque, at that time the popular
musical organization Of the North
west, had been engaged for the occa-
sion, but, failing to keep the engage
ment, the local band was called upon
to furnish the music The visitors
and band assembled in the front yard
| and the latter opened the serenade
with its usual opening melody, The
Girl Left Behind Ne"
| Just before the final notes were dy-
ing out Gen. Grant appeared on the
veranda, where he stood resignedly
until the musicians had blown out
their customary three airs. Then be
stepped forward and heartily welcom-
ed the entire crowd at the same time
inviting the people inside, where shey

behind long enough TO apologize fol
the not too excellent quality OF thf

| The generals reply was as follows:
You might as well have serenadeC
me with tin pans, as far as [ ain con
cerned, as I know less about music
than anything else [ can think of
know of course, that your band playel
Yankee Doodle for its opening piece
but whether il played artistically O
not | am not able TO Judge"

ed necessary, nor did his friends en-

had mistaken The Girl I Lett Be

Mr.. YoUNGERS GUN WOULD NOT
FIRE AND He DIED.

The most notorious inmates Of the
pentitentiary at Saltwater, Mimi, are
the Younger brothers Memory may
recall the fact that they We're for a
time connected with the James boys,
but were finally captured after the
famous rad on the bank at Northtield,
Mimi, and compelled to pursue the
paths of peace within the prison walls
of castle Of the state.
The four Younger brothers, while
mere boys, became members of Quan-
trelfs band of guerrillas, who were
the terrors Of Southern Missouri and
Kansas border during the war, says
the New York Herald. The procla
nation OF peace was not rellshed by
these freebooters, and the restless
spirit of adventure and dare deviltry
kept their neighborhood uneasy for a
long time after the close Of the great
American conflict. Shortly after the
close Of the war the Younger brothers
concluded to move west toward the
mines OF Colorado. and in pursuance
Of this intent, joined a wagon train.
For the first week things went smooth
y enough poker games were finished
without a funeral and whisky kept
tongues oily without precipitatin@
sarie u debate. This even tenor Of
the way was unnatural, considering
the elements enlisted in the expedi-
ton.
One evening the eldest Of the Ioun-
ger boys became involved in spirited
discussion with teamster and in
cautiously denomina1ed the mule
teer as a liar. The recipient Of the
compliment whipped out his revolver.
Younger's jaw dropped, for, strange
to say, he was for once diyested Of his
side arms.
You wouldn't kill an unarmed cuss
without a gun;" whined the despera
10. The teamster with a spirit Of
fairness, dropped his aim, and wheel
ing around said: 4 advise you to
heel yourself"
Next morning when the teamster
had arisen from breakfast, ne heard q
voice and turning about looked bland
iy into the muzzle Of forty four,
held by the vengeful Younger.
I've got the drop and my gun this
time" said the Iesperado with leer.
Won wouldn't shoot me Ike a dog.
without q chance" remarked the cool
teamster.
The HI wouldn't apigrammatic-
ally responded Younger as he pulled
the trigger.
The hammer fell with a slap on a
defective cartridge. The next instant
the teamster had his revolver out
Of his saddle holster and put bullet
through the elder Iounger's heart.

L. @. c. LAMAR.

The men of the South who fought
for their section were as honorable
and sincere as any that history re
cords. They fought for what they
believed to be right and justice. They
were defeated. Their cause was not
merely lost-it vanished utterly away
from the earth And large proper
ton of the soldiers and statesmen of
the Confederacy accepted the result
in good faith as a final settlement OF
all the matters In dispute, and set
themselves resolutely to rehabilita
ton Of the South in the Union, and
among these none was more earnest
and more honest than L. Q. G. La
mar.
Mr.. Lamar was not primarily pol
itician. He was rather a scholar, one
who dwelt in philosophy of law
and government rather than IN their
practice Indeed, It was objected to
his confirmation as q Justice of the
Supreme Court that he had had very
little experience at the bar. Circum
stances drew him into political life,
and at the beginning Of hostilities his
directness Of nature led him to offer
his sword to his State. But after oil
he found his most congenlal place III
/ Congress or on the bench. And what
ever he was, the war being once end
ed, he did all that lay in him to allay
the passions it had aroused and to
make the nation again united in feel
