eight members of the Board of Supervisors
voted for an ordinance which practically
vests the privilege of supplying the City
with asphalt in the hands of a monopoly.
Such valuable privileges are not given for
nothing. There is evidently ring back OF
the job and something very like official
corruption in the method by which it was
carried out. The people would like to see
the Grand Jury seek out the hidden MEM
bers of that ring, expose the corruption
and bring the guilty parties to justice.
The matter is the more important be-
cause the Grand Jury system itself is on
trial. 1t is high time for the people to
know just how far they can rely on that
system for hunting out crime and prose-
cutting offenders. If the Grand Jury can
do anything in that direction, it ought to
be done; if it cannot do anything, the fact
ought to be known, so that better system
may be devised. The present jury has a
splendid opportunity to show whatever
usefulness the system may have, and, as
we have said, the people are now eager to
see it get in some effective work.

ON THE WACHUSETT.
Again-The Good Tale of q
Good Ship.

The good American ship Wachusett,
Captain Williams, arrived IN port yester-
day morning, twenty-five days from Nanai-
mo, with 240S tons of coal for John Rosen-
fields Sons. According to Captain Will
liams the vessel had rough time of it..
On March 10, 20 and 81, in latitude 40 deg
north and longitude 125 deg. 80 min. west,
the ship was assaulted by severe gales, and
four men were washed overheard and back
again This highly athletic feat was per-
formed on the cross seas.
The waves rolled high and swooped down
on the decks washing away the cutwater
in their anger. The vessel took header
and disappeared in the smother. The
receding waves carried four men out to sea,
but good wave came along and carried
them back again. The fourth man was no
fool and did not propose to take chances
on the waves, SO before he went to sea he
clutched the foresheet and hung on till he
was hauled aboard How long he held on
is not set down in the log, but he was over
board longer than his companions. The
decks were full nearly all the time the
storm was raging, and, altogether, the
vessel had remarkable experience. On
her next trip the Wachusett will carry a
bowl for erratic men to go to sea in.
