GROSS CARELESSNEsS.

1t seems incredible that the accounts OF
the treasurer OF the State insane asylum at
Stockton were permitted to run thirteen
years without the slightest oyerhauliug.
BY the merest accident it was discovered
that the funds had been "misappropri-
ated." The thousands of dollars taken
from patients and held in trust for them
were finally deemed available for improve
ments, and when demand was made on
the treasurer for the money he could not
produce it. An investigation of his &C.
counts was then made by an expert ap-
pointed by the Governor and most dis
graceful condition CT affairs was discov-
cred. The directors at once deposed the
treasurer and turned over the Office to an
other person.
Manifestly the culpable officers are pri-
marty the directors of the institution and
secondarily the State Board of Examiners.
The Governor is also responsible to the ex-
tent of being charged with general over
sight OF the affairs of the State. Why
there is no plan for an annual or semi-an-
nual exporting of such accounts surpasses
the comprehension of ordinary persons.
The case illustrates once again the old fact
that many of the men who assume official
duties are not inclined to give to their dis
charge the same fidelity and intelligence
that they would give to their private con-
Germs.
The directors OF the Stockton institution
are now on trial before the public. If they
have any defense it is impossible now to
imagine what it is. Unless they can clear
themselves OF the appearance of gross and
inexeusable negligence it is difficult to see
how they can have the assurance to remain
in Office or how the Governor can con-
scientiously permit them to remain.

marry the women remonstrants and that they

will marry the women IN favor of woman sui

afterward as possible with so much politics in

Colonel A. T. Vogelsang, the attorney, is re-

legal profession. In the Palace grillroom yes

not appear TO be inferior 70 that Of "Csvalleria
Rustieana," and that will remain traditional.
The libretto of "Silvano" resembles the Sieilian

talent. This, ct least, is the general verdict of
the Berlin critics, and Il is the more remark

ABOUT THE NEW WOMAN.
Philadelphia Ledger.

The West is ahead of the East in extending
the voting right to women, and in conservative
England there is a strong woman suffrage SEN
iinent which crops out in Parliament. Prop
erty-owning widows and unmarried women
vote at the local elections, and in 1893 a bill
comforting on women the right TO vote for
members OF Parliament was defeated in that
body by only 25 votes in poll of 175 TO 1872
its defeat being due mainly to the hostile
efforts of Mr.. Gladstone, who, among other
reasons for his action, was moved to opposition
because of the indifference OF the women, and
because the movement would eventually in
troduce women into Parliament and other
offices,

WONDERFUL MINES.
Jackson Ledger.

The systematic manner in which THE CALL
is making an expert inspection OF California
mines and its published descriptions OF their
character and working has developed many
extraordinary facts and has informed the
world of the astonishing activity and profits
connected with the industry. A specimen of
the articles in this line appeared in Monday S
issue concerning the Mokelumne region, and
it serves to demonstrate the fact that mining
is really in its infancy and that dazzling posi-
bilitles reside in the future

There must be something radically wrong
with the Womans Committee of the Atlanta
Exposition. Its preliminary organization was
easily effected and in the course of several
months of later existence it has not had seri-
Gus row. This will never do. In the same
length of time the Woman's Committee of the
Worlds Fair had, fguratively speaking,
knocked itself down and dragged itself out five
six times at least. 1t had likewise called It
self hard names ana several times looked ap-
prehensively for the police. The Southern
women are evidently not up to the Chicago
standard of refinement and spirit.
