SOME HISTORICAL FACTS AS To
SEWAGE DISPOSAL.

The Romans worshiped the Goddess
Cloacina who presided over the Cloacae,
the large receptacles for filth and waste
of Rome. There were many of them,
built of stone, and so strong that seven
hundred years of wash by flowing waters
did not affect them. The Romans, says
DIR, CORDIALLY, the eminent sanitarian,
would never have permitted such de-
posits and retention of filth as most of
our cities in these days tolerate, and
some of which feed into streams from
which we make our tea and coffee.
In most cities of Europe, says the same
writer, every kind of house sewage and
other waste goes direct to the sewers.
London's sewage is 100000 gallons
DAY. 1t is carried to reservoirs twelve
miles distant, where it is treated with
one grain of sodium manganate per gall
Ion, and few grains of chloride of
lime. The solid matter is thus precipi-
tated, and the affluent, clear and odor-
less, is discharged into the river at ebb
tide. But DR.. Martin does not deem even
that the most wholesome condition.
In France it is the unanimous opinion
of the Summary engineers, and has been
for many years, that all cesspools should
be closed, and in 1891 a decree forbade the
opening of new ones, and ordered that all
matter should go direct to the sewers and
thence to the Seine; the result has been
the conversion of the river into great
sewer. When the cholera assailed Paris
two years ago, it was agreed that it was
due largely to this defective system,
and now the scheme is afloat to construct
canal to carry the sewage to the sea.
1t is agreed in Paris that any carrying of
sewage into the soil is to invite sickne
death and pestilence. Treatment by
filtration, sun exposure or chemical de-
position are all that is left, aside from
discharge into the sea. But this last
would infect the French shore, as all the
currents on the French coast are land
ward.
However looked at, sewage disposal is
best when it Is accomplished by chem
ical deposition. 1t is such a system that
Sacramento must sooner or later adopt;
the sooner the better and the cheaDer.

THE KANSAS DIFFICULTY,

The question must presently be deter
mined whether bleeding Kansas is in
the Union. and is giving to her people the
form of government guaranteed them by
the Constitution of the United States. A
mob of foreigners have resolved in that
State that they and not the laws are su-
preme; that men shall not conduct their
business as they see fit under the laws,
These strikers have marched in BODY.
with parcel of Infatuated and brutal
women to the fore, upon workmen who
were pursuing their right to work for a
mine-owner on terms satisfactory to
themselves. These men have been as
saulted with arms, driven from their
work and compelled to flee for their lives.
The Sheriff of the county, a Populist. re-
fuses to do his duty and protect the as
sailed, and it is intimated in the dis
patches that the Governor of the State
will be appealed to N vain. We dislike
to believe this rumor, and must assume
that the Executive, whatever his per-
sonal views, will not turn over the Gov
eminent to the mob of foreigners who
nave assumed to dictate to the Kansas
mine-owners.
If, however, it shall turn out to be true.
as is rumored, then nothing will remain
but to appeal to Federal authority. This
cannot be made until it is clear that the
State refuses to afford protection to it's
citizens and their lawful property. 1t
will not be difficult to determine this.
and when it is undoubted the Federal
Government should teach the riotous
Kansas gang that there are still some
rights of citizens that must be respected.

dignity that inspires new respect. The
charge is the more despicable that it is
indefinite, and contains no basis of fact
upon which to hinge search for the
authorship of the assault. 1t is scarcely
less an aspersion upon the character of
Governor Markham. Fortunately he is
able to take care of himself; character
building by him during a long life of
probity is not likely to be injured by
such assassin-like stabs. Journalism has
been shamed and manliness outraged by
the infamous assault upon these two citi-
zens, and no man with single remain
ing spark of the sense of justice and fair
play can fail to condemn it, and detest
its authors, no matter who they may be.

To THOSE agItated people who are out
ragged in feelings that the RECORD UNION
should protest against the trend of
women away from home and into BUSH
ness, we commend the following from
Ha1per'S Bazar, essentially a woman's
journal:
fine and profitable business for women
pursued as profession, is that of housekeep-
ing Every woman thinks herself fitted to
keep house, but in sober truth those who
are really fitted Tor it-that is, those who are
thoroughly educated in its requirements so
that they would have Il right to practice it as
they would any other trade or profession and.
receive money tor it-are by no means many
! ct II the women who have peculiarly strong
domestic inclinat1Ons would recognize that
the trend of their talent is toward housekeep-
Ing, and then prepare themselves seriously
from the first step TO the last, there would be
q sensible addition made to the comfort Of
the world, and a new opening established
through which many women, instead of now
and then one, could earn their livenhoods

THE Stockton Independent says if the
State Road Convention goes wrong it
will be the fault of the farmers. That is
truth in nutshell. If the agriculturists
do not take hold broad mindedly of this
matter, they will be the chief sufferers
and wholly to blame. But they are TAX
ing hold thus far well. President Gil
bert of the Farmers Alliance writes to
the Committee of Promotion, headed by
r. G. Irvine of the Humane Society, re-
questing certificate blanks for delegates
from forty-two alliances. The oranges
have not responded fully, but still a
dozen or more have certified delegates.

SOMETHING has gone wrong in ambi-

in it's editorial photographic columns like

has turned the San Jose brain. Hear the
Mercury man:

IT may surprise most people to know
that 205 lives were lost, so far as known
by strokes of lightning in the United
States in 1891 east of the Rocky Mount
aims. How many lives were lost indi-
rectly due to lightning is not known. In
1892 the direct loss of life by lightning
footed up 292. 1t is significant that but
one of these deaths for the two years is
charged to the account of California. The
loss of property in 1891 by reason of light
ming strokes footed up SS,386, s26 and in
1892 amounted to as much more, but not
a dollar of this damage is charged up
against California.

at the meeting Of the Presbyterian Minis
terial Union in the Howard Church yes

visitors. Rev. II. H. Rice of Oakland was
also present, he having returned from his
visit TO the Columbian Exposition.
Rev. A. w. Colyer of Texas read an able
Religion" in which, while giving due
credit to art as an agency for awakening
and promoting religious emotions. he de-
MED its value to the extent claimed for it
as a means of drawing men to Christ or
for the development Of The religious char
acter. Its impression upon the heart in
stead Of being permanent was too apt to
pass away with the feeling which it
arnuSes.
In the discussion which followed the
idea was advanced that art, especially that
of painting, had in many cases been in
furious to religion. by giving false repre-
sensations and by making rspulsive what,
when properly understood, is really at
tractive. Still it was held that art might
be made the handmade of religion, Is in lite

efforts should be made to render it such rs
far as possible.

The AssyrIan can to Dinner.

The Javanese people at the worlds
fair call the whole Javanese village to
dinner by beating a tin fish with a big
mallet. But the Assyrians have a
queerer way than this. 1t does not
look so odd, but it sounds funnier.
When it is time for the Assyrian din
ner, and we shall hear some day what
a queer dinner it is. the cooks as
sistant takes long pipe which looks
something like flute and blows upon
it, The pipe has several different
sounds or notes which are the most
mournful of any that you can imagine.
and they are also what we would call
sadly out of tune. The trumpeter
blows as hard as he can upon the pipe,
making all the different notes as quick
lv as he can, and then winding up on
one long, sad one. 1t sounds very droll
to call people to dinner to such mourn
full music
