"EO, RATSl"
How q Crowd of Men kicked One o
the Rodents to Death.

A J-street merchant had rat-killing
match yesterday afternoon, and the rat
pit was the center of the street. He had
three rats in a trap, and a terrier danced
expectantly around it as it was carried in
to the street.
A crowd soon formed a ring for the COM
batants, but it was very far from being
a twenty-four-foot ring, in fact it was
only about six feet wide, and the dog had
a very poor show, for as there were no
strings on the rats he could not get them
on the ropes.
The first one he killed in good style, but
the second one darted between the feet Of
the bystanders when released, and the
dog could not follow. 1t ran to the side
walk just where two men were standing,
and mounted the curb. One of the by
ISLANDERS made a vicious kick at it, but he
made a fuke and his big toe came in con-
tact with an iron hitching-post in a most
uncomfortable manner, while the rat
passed on and tried to enter a store.
The victim grinned with pain, but re-
marked to his companion, as he watched
a dozen other men kicking each other s
shins and scrambling like a lot of foot
ball players in their endeavors to kill the
rodent well, | am not the only fool in
the crowd, if that is any consolation"
He says he has no kick coming now, ex-
cept at himself.

Japan replied to Russia's threat to interfere
in Corean affairs that the murdersrs of the
Queen and the rioters in the recent troubles at
the Corean capital should be punished. But
now comes Russia and says to Japan: THAT
Is not enough. Russia Is convinced that she
alone can restore Corea to peace and pros
perity. Russia will, therefore, undertake the
pacification OF the nation and assure its indie
pendence." Read into plain English this means
that Russia will extend a protectorate over
Corea and that very early the Coreans Will De-
come dependents of the Car. The next move
must be made by Japan. She is on the ground
and Russia is not though the Car has feet
close at hand. If the japanese are wise they
will not precpitate conflict. They cannot
expect to stand against the powerful forces OF
Russia.
The San Francisco Chronicle pretends to
talk seriously when 1t says that lands in the
socalled mineral belt ii patented to the rail-
roads as agricultural will be sold out for min
ing purposes by the foot at fancy prices.
What silly twitter. The railroad company's
invariable policy has been to avoid mineral
lands. Inasmuch as they do not and never
desired to hold land proved to be mineral,
common decency ought to suggest to the

A Presby terau minister at the California
Synod has stirred the san Francisco Bulletin
by an emphatic declaration against sensa-
tional journalism, the publication of smut
filth, indecent illustrations and the nosing
out OF scandal, shame, crime and lndecency,
with which TO ill columns. The Bulletin
should contain itself. 1t knows as well as
does the clergyman that there is class OF
pretentous newspapers that are little better
than police gaZettes, which decent people do
not admit into their homes. The assault or
the minister referred to is in the interest OF
decent, manly, self-respecting Journalism,
and clean papers ought TO commend his vigor
and boldness when he declares that many
journals are SO conducted as to be demoraliz-
ing influences and corrupters OF youth.
If a man pays for milk he wants milk and

THE NEED FOR RESPONSIBLE
AUTHORITY.

The Red Bluff News holds that the
rivers Of the valley are the natural
drainways and should therefore carry
the waste of the population along the
banks and the natural wash of the
country draining to the rivers from
lands, towns and cities. To certain
extent this is true.
The News is sound in this statement,
that the thing to do is to cease using
river water for domestic purposes at
the same time that rank pollution of the
stream beyond that due to natural
drainage should be discouraged. We
entertain the belief, as do most of the
people, that, so far as Sacramento is
concerned, the swift and direct route to
abandonment of river water here for
domestic uses is to elect to Office the men
nominated by the Republican party,
who viii thus give the party ma
jority in the board of Trustees, which,
with a Republican Mayor like ]. w.
Wilson, will be able to cary out wise
plans for giving the people of the Cap
ital City clear, pure drinking water.
If, after all the experience we have
had, there is by any mistake a man
elected to the Board Of Trustees who is
opposed to securing speedily a clear
water supply for Sacramento. this city
will be an object of pity in the eyes OF
the whole country. What shall we say
TO the people who are looking on, if river
water advocates are returned to the
Beard of Trustees? What excuse can
we make to civilization if such men as
are afflicted with the idea that river
water is good enough, despite the warn
ings of sanitary science, are placed in
power? Some such are now in Office

The San Francisco Wave declares
that the San Francisco dictatorial press
has usurped the functions of the Rail
road Commission and driven it to a
line of conduct that, if carried out
means spoliation and confiscation
That is the short. sharp, truthful way
to put it, The commission has not acted
for the people and for the railroads fair
ly and in the judicial calm contem-
plated by the Constitution. On the con-
trary it has played to the gallery of the
newspaper agitators who appear to be
never more congenially engaged than
when raising Instructions to invest
ment in California and development Of
the resources of the State. The Wave
well says so rapacious and dictatorial
has become this same irresponsible
power, the sensational press of San
Francisco, that there is not a judicial
or legislative office in the State over
power. This is absolute truth, and
there is no fair-minded reader of the
day in this State who does not know it
to be so. The would-be King of Cali
fornia is the hungry press of San Fran
cisco. It's Unsuitable nav can never be
filed, and it's greed for dictatorial
power can never be stated. It's unholy
ambition has now stretched its greedy
hands toward the Federal Courts and
the threat of it's lash has already been
uttered, a fact that is full Of signifi-
canoe and that might well alarm Ameri-
can citizens did they not have mistaken
faith and repose perfect trust in that
judiciary as a bulwark Of human rights
and constitutional guarantees.

was lately arrested In Woodland on sus-
picion of being one J. E. douglas. the
murderer of James Neal in San Bernar-

Republicans should note that the San

State are taking hand in our municipal
election and trying to defeat the Repub-
lican ticket here. No wonder. They
want to get Sacramento out of the Re-
publican line. VIII they succeed
The record-union. [volume] (Sacramento, Calif.) 1891-1903, 1895-10-22

Are the people prepared to indorse the
position of men Of this class? We think
not.
Sacramento must have clear, pure
drinking water, own her own water
works and control her water rate rev.
enues absolutely. A Republican board
and Republican Mayor, having in city
administration an effective majority,
for the action of which they and the
party may be held responsible, will give
US clearwater system, free from any
but municipal management As matters
tiers now stand, with a board so divided
that responsibility can be fixed upon no
one, with no working majority one
way Of thinking, and with the whole
legislative body at outs with the ex-
ecutive, there is no hope for the great
need being filed The thing to do is
what will be done-place in authority
the nominees of the Republican party.

HOME PARK. June 25.-Editor Mad
isonian.-DEAR SIR:-I noticed an ar
ticle in your paper of June l. captioned
a Ruby Valley Romance" which at
best is very shabby prevarication and
instead of ~elevating the originator to
the heroic reveals the pertidy of a few
two-faced individuals who carry their
manhood on their sleeves. If the
Young nan who figures in the role of
the hero in the article in question cir
culated the report, as published, that
he told Mr.. Battle that %''although he
was playing out OF luck. before a year
would roll around he would play the
top hand" or that he was driven away
from the place at the muZZle Of a shot
gun. he puts into circulation what he
knows to be absolutely untrue and
without foundation, and his motives
therefor not the kind that meets with
the approval of our best citizens.
This article is not intended as a crit
icism on the MADISONIAN. | appre-
ciate the fact that "a newspapers bust
ness is to publish the news.
