NOTE AND COMMENT.

The San Francisco papers, portion of them,
are exceedingly quick to roar about the
assessment of the Central Pacific Railroad
property being reduced by the sacramento
Board of Equalization one-half. But it so
happens that nothing of the kind was done.
The Assessor doubled the valuation of the
property and the Board of Equalization re-
fused to permit the raise. The assessment
stands just where it did last year, notwith-
Standing heavy depreciation since then in
nearly all values. When San Francisco news
paper gets O thing right may we be notified.
The Boston Transcript, commenting upon
the proposition to utilize water power and
introduce electric lighting and power into
Fresno, terms that place "the Electric City. y
But this is too previous. Sacramento is en-
titled to the appellation for her water power
electrical plant is at work and supplying
local needs already. and it was the first like
wise on this side to prove the feasibility OF
long transmission of the energy. Fresno has
not vet put in her plant or Gagged her water
mower. She will do so the coming fall, but
when il is done she will not have plant OF
one-fifth the capacity of that at this city. Ii
there is to be any bestowment Of the title
Electric City, Sacramento has the right to
it by virtue of priority of enterprise.

THE brewers of the United States held
q National Convention recently in Mil
waukee. at which committee, appointed
for the purpose year before, made re-
port on the prohibition movement. It
proved to be an elaborate paper, and ran
over with political statistics and state
ments of voting strength with compar-
alive arrangement in tabular form. The
sum of il all was this, that prohibition
sentiment and strength are on the wane
in the United States, and that the brew
ing interests have nothing to fear from
that quarter. This will not be comfort
ing to the friends of the prohibition move
ment, but 1t will at least apur them to
prove the unsoundnesa of the conclusions
reached, if they can.

ROBERT GRANT expresses 1t sensibly
when he says that the value of the news
paper is in its short cut to knowledge of
what is happening In the world. That is
true, and it follows that newspapers
which go beyond that and seek to sup
plant good literature do absolute injury
to the people. Mr.. Grant is moved to say :
Newspapers should be read regularly, so
that one can eliminate from the consciousness
those facts which are contradicted or qualified
on the following day. OF course il is tndiS-
pensable to read the morning, and perhaps the
evening, newspaper in order to know what is
reading OF many newspapers, or the whole of
almost any newspaper Is nearly as detrl-
mental to the economy of time as the cigar
cite habit to health.
There is some exaggeration in that, but
more Of truth. It is very nearly exact,
however, if its reference is confined TO
the blanket newspaper, which ia so bulky
that to read it means to allow no leisure
for thorough reading, for perusal of
books, or study of questions nationally
and from all standpoints in order to arrive
at the truth. The newspaper never WAS
intended to be novelette,, nor a daily
hash that destroys taste for wholesome
meals.
