short, even stitches, and the family in

mark napkins near the selvedge, half
way from each hemncd end. This en-
ables one TO fold the napkins fancifully
and displays the embroidery to great
advantage. In addition to the napkins

THE popular belief is that the Debris
Commission is requiring each applicant
for license to prosecute mining to con-
struct restraining works adequate to the
amount of earth available to be moved or
supposed to be profitable to be moved;
that the Debris Commission is, therefore g,
engaged in guarding carefully against the
descent of mining tailings on the valleys
of the Sacramento and San Joaquin.
Nothing could be further from the truth.
Licenses are issued to prosecute hy-
draulic mining upon the mere allegation
that dams are TO be constructed, or that
they have been constructed, with the esti-
mate of the miner seeking a permit to
prosecute mining. The licenses already
granted have been granted upon the most
vague and insufficient allegation of the
character of the storage reservoirs, of the
amount of earth proposed to be moved,
or any other fact or thing which would
constitute a safeguard against repetition
of the injury which closed by the appli-
cation ofthe injunction against hydraulic
mining

IF, as is reported by the dispatches,
Grand Master Arnold of Pennsylvania
has decided that the Masonic fraternity
cannot officiate at the cremation of a
Free Mason's body, on the ground that
cremation is not Christian burial, he has
made silly decision. If there is any
Masonic law or usage that condemns
cremation as means of disposing of hu-
man remains we have never heard of it,
and are unable to ascertain where il had
its origin. There is reference, it is true,
in the burial service to ''ashes'' and to
dust and to ''earth,' but the use of the
word ashes came from the ancient GUS
tom of cremation. Incineration is the
same in result, whether it is accomplished
by burial and rotting in the earth, or by
the sensible, cleanly and inotfensive dis
posal in the retort ofa crematory. If Ma
sonry is going to set itself up against
science, progress and general improve
ment in our methods of disposing Of
the remains of the dead, it has task
on hand that will absorb its energy. But
Masonry is going to do nothing of the
kind, and Judge Arnold does not fairly
represent it in his decision-as we under
stand the literature Of Masonry and the
words of its funeral ceremonials.

An excellent provision of the new cleo
ton law passed by the last Legislature is
that which requires the County Clerk on
the closing hour of the election expiring
to destroy, in the presence of witnesses,
all unused ballots in his possession, and
to make record of the fact. Similarly it is
provided that the Election Boards must
cancel with two deep ink lines all unused
ballots and seal them up. This is to pre-
vent the after use of these ballots to de-
feat the will of the people Also, tally
clerks must at the close of the count draw
ink lines, two in number, from the first
to the last tally group, and over all blank
lines. and affix their names at the end of
the tally lines, so that there can be no
tampering with the tally-sheets. All this
must be done in the presence of the
board, and sworn to an affidavit of the
fact attached. Thus is the law steadily
shutting all the traps heelers ard ballot
thieves set to defraud the people of their
expression of sovereignty.

THERE is nothing remarkable in the
scheme of the Yankee skipper who has
fitted out his ship with a canning plant
and experienced workers to operate it,
and is about to put 70 sea prepared to
take sea game of all kinds fit for food
and can it on shipboard while it is fresh.
The dispatches report the venture as
something remarkable, but the most re-
markable thing related TO the news is
that no one has thought of such scheme
before. 1t is entirely feasible: as much
so as is the practice of the agents of the
Smithsonian Institution, who go out in
Government ships to take specimens OF
sea-life, and who always carry with them
all the necessary appliances and the gem
eral outfit for preserving and preparing
for the institution all the specimens
taken,

II promoting the prosperity of city,
pluck is one-quarter the battle. and the
courage to tell the truth about that which
threatens or retards is the other quarter
of the first half. Pluck and courage,
then, with natural resources and good
government and good location, are all
there is in the building up. Those per-
sons who speak below their breath and

are of the class who are content to live in

THANKS to enlightened public sent-
ment, the scandals of contract marriage
are now at an end in this State. All mar
riages, being recognized as civil contracts,
must be made under the provisions of
the civil law, which provides for various
orders of contracts and various methods
of legalization. 1t is now the law as to
the contract OF marriage that the authori-
zation must be by license, the legality by
solemnization and the proof by authenti-
cation according to record of facts to be
made. Omission, however, on the part
of others than the contracting parties to
perform any of these duties will not in
validate the marriage.

The Times perceived this issue clearly at an
early stage in the outbreak, and with the
magnitude of the questions involved clearly
in view, and with the purpose to aid in the
imperative work of maintaining the laws of
the Republic and performing the duty OF pat
riotic citizens, the Times took its stand. The
outcome, so tar as we are concerned. has been
most fortunate and favorable; put whatever
the outcome might have been, so far as we
were concerned, we could have taken no diff
ferent position in that great emergency.
These are the expressions of manly
and courageous mind. 1t is to this spe-
cies of courage and manliness that civil
ization will owe its maintenance as we'll
as its further progress.
