DEATH OF J. L. STEVENS.
The End Comes at His Old Home in
Maine

An Augusta, Maine, dispatch OF
February 8 announces the death OF
John i. Stevens, ex-Minister to Ha-
wall.
John l.. Stevens was born at
Mount Vernon, Kennebec county,
Maine, August l, 1920; was educated
at the Maine Wesleyan Seminary
and the Waterville Liberal Institute;
studied theology, and at the age Of
"a was ordained a minister OF the
Universalist Church. Ill health CON-
PEELED him to resign ten years later
and he became associated with James
G. Blaine in the ownership of the
Kennebec Journal at Augusta. He
remained with that journal for thir-
teen years.
He served three years in the Lower
House and two years in the Senate
Of the Maine Legislature. From 1870
to 1873 he was United States Minis
ter to Uruguay and Paraguay, from
which he resigned and returned
home. In 1877 he was appointed
Minister to Sweden and Norway, re-
signing in 1888, and returning to his
home in Maine.
In September, 1889, Stevens was
appointed Minister to Hawaii by
President Harrison. He served I'M
til May IL, 1893, when he was super
seeded by James II. Blount. Stevens
gained national reputation by his
conduct during the revolution which
overthrow the Hawaiian monarchy.
He ordered marines landed from the
United States steamer Boston, and
by his prompt action prevented any
danger to American residents, as
we'll as assured the success of the
revolution. Stevens hoisted the
American flag, and established an
American prstectorate.
Mr.. Stevens was author OF Life
Of Gustavus Adolphus, which was re-
garded in Sweden as the most CON-
plete biography OF that famous war
rior ever compiled.

At or about $50 on the evening" Of
October nth the overland mail and

lowing is a brief description Of tho

REFORM is good thing, but there is
such thing as attempting to drive re-
form as one would oxen, with goad and
curses. No reforms are to be worked by
any sort of terrorism, legislative or other
wise. The moral sense, so to speak, of
the people must back reform. We can
punish wrong-doers, and all that, but to
substantial reform people must be lead,
since it is impossible to drive them. Even
were it possible, the result would not be
reform after all. Let those who are en-
! thusiasts for radical reformation bear
these truths in mind, and reflect that
coercion is for the willful and the vicious,
but conviction of the reason is the anchor
OF true reform. But this is not to say that
we shall not be vigorous, bold and daring
in bringing on conviction. By no means.
While we are not to drive with whips,
neither are we to coax with milk. A
community admires the vigorous advo-
cate and champion of the truth, even
when it is not ready to accept that truth
similarly, it despises and ressts the man
who goes through the streets with lash
and attempts to whip or to lampoon
everybody into his way of thinking.
The record-union., 1895-02-27

The Grand Jury of San Bernardino
County called the Board of Supervisors
and the District Attorney into counsel
with it the other day, and the result was
a report in which there was unanimous
agreement that under the California road
system. as it now is, the county has ex-
pended, since 1887, more money for
roads, with but few results, and those
not of the best, than would have paid
principal and interest on enough money
20 have given full value in permanent
results, and all the consequent bless
iugs that follow construction of good

highways. This is the first official de-
claration we have seen directly support
ing the claims of the good roads enthusi-
asts. 1t is probable that, with two ex-
captions, Grand Jury investigation in all
the other counties would result in the
same verdict. 1t may be doubted, how
ever, II in any other than four other
counties jury could secure concurrence
OF the Boards of Supervisors in such a
Judgment. These latter bodies, as a rule,
are disposed to think that they are suffi-
Gent for all needs in road matters. It is
very natural disposition, and its ex-
preston is due far more to lack of infor-
nation in road economy than to willful
antagonism to wise reforms.
The record-union., 1895-02-27

THE Assembly has passed the Senate
bill creating third department of the
Superior Court for Sacramento County.
This is right action. The bill now goes
to the Governor, and we trust that it will
become a law. The RECoRD-UNIoN has
favored this measure for reasons per-
fectly clear to it; namely, that it will dis
courage litigation by rendering delay less
liable and hence lessen the means of the
litigous; second, because it is directly in
the promotion of economy and will cost
the taxpayers less than the present sys-
tenn; third, because it will hasten the
disposal of cases and thus conserve the
ends of justice: fourth, because it is an
unwise policy to overburden Judges so
as to prevent them hearing and dispo sing
of cases from the bench, instead of TAX
ing them into chambers aud deciding
them without argument, as they are now
compelled to do.
