CITY SANITATION.

The question of inquiring into the dis
posal of sewage and possible reform of
the sewer system in the city was ini-
tiated by the Board Of Trustees yester-
day. Trustee Green introduced resoIu-
tions, by request, that call for commit
tee of pubhc-spirited citizens to aid the
authorities in gathering certain data, in
ascertaining certain facts and arriving at
wise conclusions. The board very prop
erly referred the resolutions to the Board
OF Health for its approval or disapproval.
That body last night gave its assent to
whatever the Trustees see fit to do in the
matter. This is the right spirit and fol-
lows that of Chicago and New York,
where special committees are aiding
official bodies in sanitary inquiry.
This action brings the whole subject into
the forum of official debate Let us hope
that it will not be delayed or limited.
but that the board will this morning
adopt the resolutions and ask the COM
mittee named to begin its inquiry.
The more the question is debated the bet
ter it viii be understood and the more
likely we will be to arrive at just con-
clusions. The gentlemen named in the
resolutions were selected without con-
sultatiOn with them and without their
knowledge, which is in itself high trib-
ute to their worth and the confidence the
public reposes in them as public-spirited
citizens. If they will assume the task
they viii find it not nearly so difficult as
at first may seem, since the data sought
is to be had for the asking, other cities
having really done all the preliminary
work for US, the chief question left to us
being that of adaptability to our situa-

RIVER TREATMENT.

The dispatches state that Congressman
Caminetti proposes at once to devote his
best energies to move upon Congress to
undertake the treatment of California's
navigable rivers under tho contract sys-
tem-that is, not to treat the California
rivers spasmodically, with now and then
appropriations for specific purposes, but
to take hold Of our navigable streams as
has been done with the Mississippi.
which is treated according to a complete
and well devised system, comprehensive
in its scope, and calling for work upon
the river under specific contracts.
OF course such a plan will involve a
comprehensive survey and wholly new
plating of work that the engineers may
determine necessary to the preservation
of the navigable channels. Consequently
it will, if adopted, take considerable time
10 lay even the foundation for the proper
treatment of the rivers. But it is certain
ly true that comprehensive system is
the only true one, while patch work,
done without relation to scheme en-
bracing the whole river, can but at best
serve only to alleviate. not cure, evils.
However, the plan Mr.. Caminetti has in
view will not inhibit the giving of relief
by temporary work and such action as is
necessary to prevent immediate and great
damage.

THE national quarantine movement
has gained such momentum that its
friends now advocate rigorous examina-
ton at the point Of departure for ships
sailing for the Uuited States from in
tected points. That ought to be part OF
the scheme of regulation of quarantine
by the Federal Government. Agents OF
the United States at ports of departure
authorized to issue certificates, and with
out which ships from infected ports
would not be permitted to make land
ing on this side, would give quarantine
vigor that the present threat of cholera
fully justifes.

Strange Story About a Babe.

The latest doubtful yarn comes from
Crab Orchard, Va, where it is said that
an extraordinary infant was born re-
Gently. 1t lived only a few seconds. 1t
was well developed, had full and beau
tiful set OF teeth and long, flowing hair of
a dark hue. 1t was exceedingly pretty
and seemed to be possessed OF all the
mental faculties of maturity. In clear
voice it said, Thine here is Short" and
then closed its eyes and passed away.
This, together with the appearance of the
comet, which is supposed to carry death
and destruction in its wake, has created
considerable CONSERVATION in that COM
munity, and the superstitious are expect
ing every moment TO hear the final blast
from Gabriels bugle.

Mr.. Il. B. PRESTON in the arena
argues that it is socialistic to make any
revenue of the Government burden
upon industry, and contends that the
single tax does not impose such burden.
We think Mr.. Preston will find it ex-
tremely difficult to show that any tax, no
matter on what it is laid, nor how, does
not bear upon industry. AS all produc-
ton is joint with labor in some form, and
all taxation must bear upon production,
no matter if it is laid only upon land and
to the full rental value thereof, it follows
that any revenue of Government, no
matter how derived, must be in some
part burden upon industry. Mr. Pres
toms premise is too broad.

ARARE OPPORTUNITY
Good Agricultural Land for $40
to $40 per Acre.

The Pacific improvement Company has re-
Gently purchased twelve thousand ceres OF
land in the hearth OF Tehama County for the
purpose of promoting subdivision and settle
ment. This land embraces lands from first
class Sacramento Valley agricultural land, to
land of fair average quality, and is offered at
from $40 to $50 per acre, in subdivisions of
40, 80, 120r 160 and $50 acres.
The terms upon which these lands are offered
are especially attractive. They will be sold in
subdivisions, as above indicated, by the pay
ment of interest only for three years, at which
time the purchaser can begin the payment Of
principal by paying the first of five equal an
nual installments. Thus no part Of the prin-
cipal is tc be paid tor three years. and then
the purchaser is to have five years in which to
pay hve equal annual ipstallments with in
terest at the rate OF per cent. per annum,
making payments extending over a period Of
eight years. Intending purchasers are as
sured that this is an opportunity to purchase
land of fair average quality at $40 per acre
and good agricultural Land at $50 an acra
with other grades Of land at prices to CORE
spond between these figures.
The assertion is frequently made that good
lands, suitable for general farming, and es-
Pecially adapted for fruitgrowing, cannot be
had in California for less than from 500 to
S1O0 an acre. An examination of the land
subject OF this advertisement will prove to
home-seekers that this is an opportunity for
the purchase of good agricultural land at $40
an acre, and for qualities grading down to fair
agricultural land at $40 an acre, on terms of
payment which should make the disposition
of these lands to actual settlers result easy Of
accomplishment.
The primary object of the purchase Of this
BODY Of land was the breaking up OF :. large
holding for the purpose of promoting its set
tlement in smaller quantities and its devotion
to dil!gent husbandry.

An Eastern critical exchange saws:

Each overnment-National, State and
muntclpal-should have an art commission
to decide who should design and decorate
public buildings, what statues and monu-
mentS should be erected and what paintings
bought. Then we should probably secure
public buildings worthy of public owner
ship, and we should not have our parks and
other public places defaced by malforned
images which, intended as grateful me-
MORALS, will seem TO posterlty as only ridicu-
lous.
A thoroughly sound idea, that But it
will be realized in no State until the
people have reached pretty high plane
of art perception and love for the beauti-
full and harmonious. Public works are
constructed as rule with true artistic
thought the very least in consideration.
We are as yet in this country too practical
minded to think of such a think of such
thing as an art commission. There is
not anywhere in the United States an art
institute for instance, of public character,
that did not have its inception in and get
its momentum from private effort and art
taste. We must be content for a long
time to 60 to Europe to find govern
mental fine art bureaus and promotion.

THE manhood suffrage movement pro-
crosses. Here now we have the King of
Portugal feeling the pressure SO greatly
as to announce in his recent speech from
the throne that his Government was pre-
pared to concede enlargement and exten-
sion of the electoral privileges and rights
to the people. There are indications that
in Spain similar declaration will soon
follow. Belgium has already broadened
her system, and it is inevitable that it
will be much more enlarged within the
next few years, England, in the last fif-
teen years, has taken strides in the same
direction-and so the world moves.

THE required resolution of approval Of
Sacramento's new charter was introduced
in the Senate yesterday by Senator Hart,
and at once sent to print Let the people
hope that the Legislature will consider
this matter urgent enough to have prompt
action. With practical unanimity the
people have adopted this charter, and it
ought to be approved just as soon as the
necessary examination shows it to be in
harmony with the Constitution and the
general laws. The city election under
the present charter is to be held in March,
under:the new charter in November. If
the new instrument is approved, then the
officers chosen in March will serve only
until January next; therefore the ap-
proval or disapproval of the Legislature
will have an important influence upon
the coming election for which candidates
are already preliminarily in the field.

reluctant compliance with law which
they think arbitrary and gratuitous."
Certainly Mr.. Hawthorne is right; let
the little one have its illusions; they will
be dissipated soon enough without pains
taking on our part, only when the unde-
celving comes let US be there to lead.
Let US show our young how we can love
them; that we have not forgotten the in
stinctive desire to do the forbidden thing
in order to see what would come of it.
Let US not interfere with their make
believes, their romancing and the harm
less Misrepresentation that runs all
through it. Let us look on, pleased and
remembering, but reverently refusing to
put the protane foot of maturity across the
border land of childish fancy and fiction.
While it may, let it have its fairies and
princes, its speaking animals and vivified
inanimate objects. Let it alone in its
mimicry of animals and its satires upon
its elders. 1t is neither in danger nor in
need of our interference, so long as it
dwells in that fairy-like land of ire
sponsibility and elf-unconsciousness.

Mr.. c. P. HUNTINGDON has most
wisely and generously supplemented his
gift of the Westchester Library by adding
an endowment of 100000 in per cent.
bonds. 1t win be recalled that he built
the library building and gave the book
collection its start by most liberal ex-
penditure of money and the creation of a
fund to enable the collection to be grad
ually augmented. He now adds Sl0O, 900
for the use of the Trustees as they may
see fit, to conserve and broaden the use
fulness Of the benefcent institution and
to perpetuate it. 1t is in harmony with
the spirit of the man to make this Gift
free, to attach to it no restrictions, to
hedge it about by no conditions that will
cripple the trust reposed in the Directory.
This policy is the wisest, since it tends to
| inspire an administrative board with
ambition to do and deserve well, and to
make their judgment such as to merit the
approval of the people.
