There is no doubt of the fact that the
free silver sentiment is predominant in
Missouri, and 1t now seems certain that
the silver wing Of the Democratic party
in that state will succeed in its attem 81

that engrosses considerable attention un-
der present conditions. but the time Is
coming and is not distant when it win

ing and matchmaking which is being
done reduce the area of streets that need
the most attention from the sprinkling

the water, not the asphaltum- laid and

The dismissal OF Professor Davidson
from the head of the geodetic survey on
foI a lifetime and which he was emin ent-
ly qualified to fill. Is exciting great deal
of discussion. There was nothing the
matter with Davidson, and the only great
national reason for putting him out
seems to have been that another man
wanted his place. The fact that the in.
cident excites unusual Indignation and
protest is sign suggesting the ultimate
success of strict civil service laws.-Ala-
meda Argus.
The last legislature, which in its day
was abused with singular unanimity by
the big and little anarchists Of the daily
press, did nothing more commendable
than to abolish the industry of tax title
buying in this state. The owners of real
property are subjected to sufficient
number of burdens without being made
less probate proceeding, defective deeds,
street assessmmen. liens and lawsuits in
general complicate the transfer of real es-
tate enough without adding the clouds
that proceed from having hanging over
every piece of realty the claim of a tax
title buyer.-Santa Ynez Argus.

AS soon as the Fourth of July has been
properly celebrated by our people the
committee having charge of the matter
of securing rights of way through Kings
county for the Valley railroad. will go ac-
lively to work. The great majority OF the
land owners through whose property the
road will pass, have already been inter-
viewed, but no agreements have been
signed 1t will he only few weeks after
the deeds of rights of way have been ac-
cepted when grading will he commenced.

part of the work. and many who have

1t should be distinctly understood that
no shade trees are to be cut down. or in
any wise mutilated, by the telegraph and
telephone companies, new or old. 1t is
the habit of such people to cut and slash
any tree that they may imagine to be in
their way in the most brutal and reckless
fashion. This should not be permitted
for moment. either in city.or country.
The first man who mutilates a shade
tree on the strets or highways should be
shot on the spot if he refuses to dosist
when called upon. Heretofore it has been
the practice to permit the trees to be
hacked to pieces and then make COM
plant about it. 1t is now time to re.
verse this practice and give the hacker ol
the trees chance to make com plain,
about mutilation.-San Jose Herald.
