sistant Postmasters-G General come into
place by the merit tenure system. This
is really unassailable in its strength,
that is, justly. But we may expect to
see it violently attacked in Congress
by those partisans who hold to the
doctrine of division of the spells. The
Postmaster General points out that the
three assistants to whom he refers, if
they are to be wholly capable,
thoroughly familiar with the intricate
machinery Of their offices, and of first
value to the Government, ought to be
insured against the mutations and
chances of partisan and political whims
and shiftings. On this point the Cen
eral says: 1.-THE continuity of the de-
partment should be preserved in
changes of administration, not only
along the line of its subordinate and
separate service, but in that larger
grasp of its history, its daily work, and
its healthful progress which is found
alone with those who direct and con-
troll its various bureaus Is it possible
for spoilsmen to make any sufficient
answer to this proposition? That is to
ask, Shall the Postal Department be
managed with an eye singly to economy
efficiency and the public good, or to re-
ward party servitors and pay political
debts?
The record-union., 1895-12-13

The Postmaster-G General reports an
increase in the revenues of the depart
ment, and looks upon the fact as an
evidence of bettered business condi-
lions. 1t is gratifying TO know that the
postal service is gaining upon the credit
side of the ledger account. But it was
the original scheme of the system that
1t should be administered without hav-
ing this in view The idea is to furnish
service to the sparsely settled and dis
tant sections with those thickly popu-
lated and near to the great marts of
trade at the same cost to whoever uses
the mails. That is, the plan Of the sys-
tenn is not to make money, or even
make the service self-supporting. but
to place all the people on an equality
as to the cost of service by the depart
ment. IT is really the most socialistic
and equal service department of the
Government. and for that reason justi-
fies the monopoly the Government
claims in letter carrying. The Post
master-General wisely and firmly
argues for more and stricter applica-
tion of the principles of civil service re-
form to his department. Thus, he
would have at least three OF the AS

Congressman Johnson says he will
introduce bill providing for the APP
pointment of a Board of United States
Engineers to examine and report on
the necessity for further improvement
of the California waterways-theS San
Joaquin, Sacramento and Feather
Rivers in particular. If large appro-
priation be made for dredging, snag-
ging and Strengthening work, hydraul-
ic mining could be carried on without
hindrance to farmers.-Chico Chroni-
cle-Record.
But Congressman Johnson's plan is
the better one. What we need more
than an appropriation is commitment
of the Government to policy of treat
ment of the rivers of California, as Mr..
Johnson proposes. When that is un-
dertaken, after examination and
determination as to the need,
there will follow the appropria-
lions fast enough. But it would be as
well to keep in mind the unmistakable
truth that the Federal Government will
never consent to expend money for con-
tinual dredging out of the rivers that
they may be used as tail sluices for hy-
draulic mines. That would be equiva-
lent to appropriating just so much
public money to private parties for
mining purposes.

We do not believe that even were it
lawful to do so that could be done in
any other State in the Union which has
been accomplished without a murmur
OF dissent in South Carolina. There a
Constitutional Convention has closed

ton and declaring it operative with
probable that in any other State, GER
tainly in none of the Northern or West
ern States, would the people submit
to such action, or a convention dare to

Another weil-known citizen has been
called away to join the great majority.
John Lambert, for many years grocery
merchant III this city. but moro recently
in the furniture and auction business,
died at his home yesterday. His health
had been falling for several mouths, and
the end was not unexpected.
Deceased was native of Louisville,
XIV, and 6s years of age. He leaves q
wife and two sons, Frank e. and John
r. Lambert. None knew aught of Mr..
Laru bert but good, and the friends

JOURNALISTIC INDIGESTION.

For several days the Examiner COM
cluded that the policy of railroad oppo-
sition had become simplified. The thing
for a paper to do, which had adopted a
policy of railroad opposition-right or
wrong-was to fight the funding bill.
The Chronicle at first thought Govern
ment ownership of the Pacific railroads
undesirable, because such ownership
might give the whole policy Of Govern
ment ownership of railroads in the Uni
ted States a bad send off. It, how
ever, was smart enough to perceive
that something affirmative was re-
quired in this case. So it hedged by
declaring in advance of the Sutro mass
meeting in favor Of Government owner
ship.
This proposition was not agreeable to
Sutro, and the Examiner stood for
three or four days, when finally it de-
cided that a negative position would be
no position at all, and therefore came
out for Government ownership.
Under peculiar circumstances the adj
vocacy Of Government ownership and
control is the exact equivalent of moth
ing at ALL The Government of the
United States does not want to own the
Pacific railroads, and the people Of the
United States will not forgive the debts
due by the Pacific railroads in the in
terest of the people of. California. The
vast railroad interest Of the United
States, and especially the overland
lines, will oppose Government owner
shipof the Pacific railroads. Our contem-
poraries have therefore taken position
in favor of the impossible. They might
just as well say nothing. The position
they have taken is the exact equivalent
of eliminating themselves and their in
huence from the entire contest.
Since Government ownership is a
proposition impossible of achievement,
and since the proposition made by SEN
ator Thurston Of Nebraska is equally
impracticable, it becomes clear that an
extension of time is about the only
thing the Government can do. That, at
least, promises an ultimate repayment
to the Government of the money loaned
to the Pacific railroads at the time of
their construction, is the only sensible
business proposition, and is the only
proposition likely to meet with favor at
the hands of Congress. Hence we be-
neve sincerely that this is the best dis
position the Government can make of
the situation.
We ought to feel grateful to our San
Francisco contemporaries that they
have chosen to deny themselves all
voice in the settlement of the question.

California has lost the National Re-

great gain in advertising. We hope
that this may turn out to be true. we
think that it has made gain by the
effort to secure the convention, but it
has been rather in the nature of recog-
milton of greater Importance for Cali
fornia as a political factor than as a
matter of material advertising.
