DISSATISFACTION At PARMA.

News comes from Parma that
the people down there are dissatis-
fed with the treatment they are
receiving at the hands of the Sc.
bree Canal Company. Some time
ago a meeting was held at fuckers
school house in which strong pro-
tests were made. 1t seems that
the price of water has been raised
from $3.50 to $500 per inch.
What justification there may be for
this action on the part of the Canal
company is not now known, but in
order to set the matter squarely
and fairly before the public, The
TRIBUNE will undertake to ascer-
tain the canal company's side of
case. On the face of it, it is
plain confirmation of what THE
TRIBUNE long ago foretold. Months
ago, we predicted that the water
rate would be raised, and we be-
lieye that it will continue on an
upward scale until people abso.
lutely refuse to tolerate it. This
condition is present: The canal
companies are losing money.
From year to year the expenses
exceed the income. Naturally
enough an effort is made to reverse
the accounts. We do not think it
will ever succeed, because the sys-
tenn is fundamentally wrong. Its
successful operation means the
growth of landlordism and tenantry
and that is something the spirit of
Americanism rebels against. If
canal companies would introduce
the idea of ultimate ownership of
canals by the people who use them,
a change would come and that rap
idly. We urge them to think &C.
riousIy on the matter and abandon
tho project of fastening perpetual
tribute on the tillers of the soil.

About Mining.

Mining is not gamble. Mining has
heretofore been called gambling. | de-
pounce the expression as inapplicable to
any such legitimate business as mining.
II il unfortunate that when the miner.
without money, goes into the m mountains,
camps out and lives in rough manner,
finds his mine, and, when he has de-
velopei it sufficiently to know that he
has mine, and wants machinery and
mill, and goes TO the city, the capitalist
who ought TO stand in with him and help
him to develop the mine will not assist
him in any way, as rule. But the time
has come when this sort Of thing should
and will change. 1t IL now apparent that
no business in this state, or in any Of the
gold producing states, is considered so
safe or 80 protiiai le AS mining. And the
time will come very soon when mining
will not be- called gambling, but when
the miner will have as good credit AS
the fruit-grower, the wheat-producer,
the cattle raiser or men engaged in any
Of the other ordinary occupations Of life.
The gold product of California for 1894
will be about $4,000 900. Shut down
all the mines, and take on that supply
OF gold, and then indeed we can talk
about "hard times" but as long as we
hat nf nd
that amount increasing annually-we
will never see hard times, such as the
Middle, Northern and may say East
ern states now suffer. There can be no
reason Why California cannot work mines
little cheaper than Michigan or any
Of the Eastern states. Coal mining in
Pennsylvania does not cost 40 per cent
OF our present cost Of mining in this
country, and yet all supplies needed by
the miner can be bought as cheap, and
many of them very much cheaper here
than in Pennsylvania, Illinois or any of
the coal mining states.
People generally have very little
knowledge Of the mines Of California.
Many Of the old Californians think that
gold mining is about finished in Califor-
mia; that there is very little gold left in
the mountains, when in fact the noun
tains have not been prospected. And
when We look over the single county OF
Amador, through which the mother lode
passes almost without break, and find
that but four mines in that county have
been developed to any considerable ex-
tent, it is not difficult to see that the
scarcity Of mines is due to the want Of
vigor and enterprise to develop them.

The Neus Trust.

In the midst Of the hard times when
every daily paper has some kind of a
fund to help the poor, number of pa.
pers have combined in trust to throw
from $50 to 200 reporters out Of work and
get the local news through a single
bureau. All such combinations as the
Associated Press and the United Press
are designed to cheaper the cost OF pro.
ducing a newspaper and thus enrich the
prOprietors-the most OF whom reside
abroad and expend their profits for the
benefit Of foreign lands. But this short
sighted policy overlooks the facts that
news combinations destroy newspaper
enterprise and are decidedly inlmical
to the public. II is the guard that news
papers keep over each other; the check
which report in one paper is upon the
reports Of the other papers; the orlgi
nality OF the points Of vew and Of the
descriptions. which makes American
journalism the best in the world and
maintains the freedom and independ.
ence OF our press. II the same news is
to be told in the same way in all the
daily papers, what does the public want
OF more than one of them in this city?
Their contents will be as stereotyped as
a news ticker. The latest trust is thus
as bad for the papers and for the public
as it IS for the reporters. These are not
the times to deprive hundreds of employ
ment in order to add to the revenues OF
absentee proprietors. Siftings.

Silver is going to control the next
presidential election. We have looked
over the states and can come pretty near
the figures, says the Montana Tribune.
There are twenty-eight states that can
not be carried on a gold platform as the
situation is to-day. There are 444 elec.
torial votes, a majority being 233. These
states cast 227 votes, or a maj )rity of ~.

Ohio, and it is A question whether these
will be carried on u gold issue. The re-

This action will recall to many people
in this city, who knew the facts Of the

spects, where we'll known citizen whose
life Was insured for iair amount, with
out the suicide restriction clause common
to most life insurance policies, killed

Who can answer the question? What
basis is there for framing reply to such
an Interrogstory? Is n suicide hero

circumstances under which self-murder
is permissible, unless, as the supporters
of the doctrine Of euthanasia maintain,
there may be conditions unler which
death, with all the doub: and uncertainty
which attend its sequence, is preferable
TO life Of misery and anguish. Suicide
has been called the last refuge OF a
coward, but may it not be that it is
sometimes the last refuge Of brave and

These problems of life and death are
too hard for Us. We recognize the duty
aud obligation We owe to those who are
bound TO US by ties OF blood and affec-
ton, but when we are asked whether the
obligation extends so far as to demand

Altruism and egotism are irreconci-
