Rudolph Pickel. that no Government has q riEht
to compel any man to marry or to put a tax
upon him because he does not care to get married.
Instead OF a tax being put on men that prefer
not to wed. the whipping post and the work

into marriage with no means to support a wife,

panies have worked hard to have "cuts"
made at different points so as TO make the
channel more nearly a straight line.
The first of these was made near the
mouth Of Stockton Slough a good many
years ago and gave the greatest satisfac-
ton. Since then several others have been
made. all of which were looked up0n as a
benefit, hnt there was one place a. Tween ty-
one-mile Slough that was the pilots bug

10 get the Government appropriate money
to improve. At that place two enormous
curves in the yer made il necessary to
travel fifteen miles in order gain about
four. The currents in them were also
lrearherOus and made it necessary TO travel
slowly.
1t was DESTROYS, to obviate this difficulty,
to have canals dredged across the land be-
tween the bends, thereby making a deep
waterway and also shortening the dis
lance. Surveys and estimates Of the work
had been made several times, aud the en-

II was. among other things, set forth that
public convenience and safety demand inteni-
gent supervision of The construction and main
lenance of public works, such as can only be
iend ed by a competent civil engineer; that
tie Superintendent of Streets controls sewer
construction and street paving, even in The case
OF private contracts; that accepted streets are
kept ID repair by the ely at its expense, aud
that II was 10 the interest OF every property
owner 10 know that competent expert had
passed upon all accepted work before the city
assumes the burden OF lis maintenance.
This request having r. manned unneeded. and

In compliance with an order signed by

meetings were held by the various compa-
MES throughout the city last evening for
the purpose of instructing subordinates to
hold aloof from politics during the coming

meeting of he various companies last
evening for the purpose of making the in
siructions clear 10 every member of the
department.
According to Chief Sullivan's orders.
every member of The department., regular
and extra, will be obliged to report on
duty from II o'clock p NJ. on the FRIDAY

The San Joaquin River bel w Stockton,
when it was allowed to run in lis natural

curves, and steamer had to travel about
three miles in a round about manner to
make one mile toward its destination. This
was, of course, annoying and a great waste
of time. and ever since the stream has
