Meade has been gallant officer and has
served his country well. But this is
history, that officers who contemptu-
ously criticise their superiors always lose
influence as commanders and are prac-
tically useless in time of trial. Admiral
Meade could not longer be Of great USE
fulness after having given rein to his
tongue about the head of his department..
A General who debates.with his COM
mander on matters of political and naval
policy, and grows severe and contemptu-
GUS and charges his chief with insin-
cerity and lack of loyalty. is best on the
retired list. The true soldier knows how
to obey and be silent. and to keep his
political conceptions of his chief to him.
self. The weaponry of the soldier must
be for foes only.

troupe is good one. Indeed, it is very
rare that as good a variety show ls to be
seen for such small admission charges as
prevail at the Clunie. The programme
opened with the Stanleys in comic
character dialogue, closing with very
clever slack wire performance. Miss
Verde de We're, balladist, then sang.
She is fairly good in execution. but lacks
in strength and volume OF tone. Inc Al
monts came next in one Of the best musl-
cal acts we have ever heard upon the
variety stage. The trumpeling was nota-
bly, clever and the more interesting that
it is novel. The "Misereri' by Lizzie Al
mont on the trombone was deilcateIy
executed and tasteful bit OF playing. In
all the instruments used, bells, trumpets,
saxophones, cornets, trombone, the work
was of a superior order. Juno, the
man-frog," is decided novelty, contor-
zionist, an acrobat, an equll1brlst OF
novel order. His act is wholly new ana
entirely good. Louise Lister is a London
music hall character singer. The audi
ence was disposed to make game OF her,
not understanding or caring for the Lon
don style. Yet Miss Lister is a fair rep

clever juggler as we have seen, and,
withal, sis a low comedian Of good parts.
His act was an unequlyocal success.
Leoni gave very good single trapeze
exhibition, closing with sensational
swing and descent. Foley and ODell, as
q knock-about team, won the audience In
manner that only real merit III that
line can do. Not so ludicrous team and
no more lively one has ever appeared
here in knock-about work. Slack and
Milton, the parallel men, came next.
They are good team, but Slack ls the
leader. He is an especially fire and dar-
ing performer. His mate, Milton, was
out of form last night, and evidently en-,
barrassed or i'll. The programme closed
with Andoor in black art. 1t was cleverly
done, but has been much better per-
formed here The front light glare to
cause illusion was too strong, and the
performance lacked in variety. Still 1t
was very clever, if not the best. Manager

THE INCOME TAX.

The news at this writing is that the Su
prsme Court of the United States has de-
clared the income tax law unoonstitu-
tional. No matter if the decision is not
unanimous, it is the decree of the court
and as such must stand as the true inter-
probation of the constitutional prov isions
defining and limiting the powers OF Con-
gress. The Constitution is the organic
law. the Supreme Court is established to
be and ia the final srbiter Of all issues re-
garding the meaning of the instrument.
The people are sovereign and 1t is in their
power when they feel so disposed to mod
ify this restraining instrument. As the
matter now stands. therefore, it is settled
that under the Constitution as it is. Con-
gress has not the power to impose an In
come tax such as that provided in the law
just passed upon.
Unfortunately for the country there are
not few people who will Immediately
begin to shout abuse against the court be-
cause its decision does not accord with
their views. Some of these have already
been heard to say that the court was pur-
chased, that it is In the hands Of wealth
and does its bidding, etc. All such in
cendiary talk is shameful. It reflects
only ignorance. The citizen who is
thoughtful realizes that it is essential that
n a
stand between the Constitution and the
legislative power, and that therein lies
the security of our liberties. When that
body has, then, passed upon a constitu-
tional provision and interpreted 1t, 1t
must become the law of the land. 1t
makes no sort of difference that the court
In earlier years may have held to con-
trary view from that it now takes; that
means only that the court is not bound
hand and foot by precedent or tradition,
and that it interprets in the light OF rea-
non as it new conceives it to be.
The calamity howlers. the pessimists
and the anarchists will not allow the mat
ter to pass without railing at the court
but the sober common sense Of the people
will give them no favor. The court may
be riehtfully criticised and the reasons
for i,a deoisior, analy zeu-tiIat is the ht
of any citizen; indeed it tends to enlight-
ment and better understanding OF the
laws and the constitutional foundations
Of the nation. But criticism should not
descend to railing nor assaults upon the
integrity of the court, which whenever
they are made should have the pro-
nounced condemnation of all good oiti-
zens. We have believed, and still hold,
that the most perfect and equitable OF
taxation is the tax upon incomes. That
fairly laid this is the most perfect OF any
of the systems of taxation, since 1t Inn
poses upon each in proportion to his abli-
ity 70 bear. But now that it is held that
such taxation cannot be laid under the
Constitution the subject passes from con-
sideration, though the decision in no wise
affects the principles upon which the
friends of the income tax system take
their stand.

A number of Caledonians of this city
won prizes at stockton in the competitive
games on Saturday.
At Dixon next Sunday the railroad
shops baseball team of this city will play
the team of that place. The winner is to
take the gate receipts.
Yesterday afternoon quite delegation
of colored people left this city for Marys-
Vile to attend an entertainment and
cake-walk in that city.
AT the Marysville picnic to-day the o.
K. Baseball Club OF this city will play
against local team. Several Sacra-
mentans have also gone to participate in
the shooting matches there.
A young man named Alfred Hink. a
bartender at McGrath 81 Koenicke's s
saloon, has disappeared, and the propri-
etors have charged him with embezzIing
some of their money. Hink is also said
to have been cheerful borrower of late,
and that he leaves several creditors Of
that class.
A burglar entered the residence of
County Surveyor Boyd, on o street near
Tenth, on Saturday afternoon, by using a

The discovery was made yesterday
morning that some time during the pre-
ceding night the City Library had been
entered by burglars, but thus far nothing
has been missed.
There is a small safe in the library, but
it is used only for papers, no money ever
being kept in the library. The trustees
wish the window-l lifting fraternity to
understand that they can get nothing
valuable in the library. AS for books,
the place is open every day, and anyone
who wishes 10 read is welcome there SO
long as he behaves himself.

WHAT REHABILITATION MEANS.

The refusal of the Debris Commission
to allow the Liberty Hill dam to be used
for hydraulic purposes might have been
anticipated; in fact, as the board had de-
cided before hearing argument, 1t would
seem that no evidence was required that
the dam in question will not do. And
yet this dam, though thus condemned for
the second time by legal authority, is, to
say the least, no worse than many others
which are in use. 1t is stated to be the
opinion of one of the officers connected
with the commission that brush dams are
better than the stone dams that might be
constructed, because there is no available
rock fit for the construction of hydraulic
restraining works. If this gentleman's 8
Judgment be accepted as conclusive OF the
matter of building material, serious
question is, how long will the brush
dams that he approves last? Granted
that the brush dam lasts until the hy-
draulio claim is exhausted, say, as in
most cases, in from three to eighteen
months, what then? Simply this: The
himsy structure will soon rot and give
away, and then down will come the de-
bris which it held in temporary restraint
and do just as much damage then as
though It had not been held back at all.
The Liberty Hill dam is built of rock. 4.
gravel and sand. It is condemned, and
properly so, Notwithstanding the substan-
tial character of parts OF its material, and
the assumption is that all such dams will
be refused permits hereafter. What re-
course will the hydraulic miner have
then? Shall he try dam made entirely
of rock, of solid masonry? Hardly, for.
considering the meager returns from
hydraulic mining, the cost of such dam
would of itself be prohibitory, if judg-
ment has not gone out partially. at least,
against restraining works made of Cali
fornia rock. But this is only q sugges-
ton; the commission will not be called
on to pass judgment on any sort of
solid, indsstructible and permanent dam.
Such q structure is not oontemplsted-it
does not lie within the economy of hy-
draulic mining nor does it enter into the
calculations of the hydraulic miner. In
the meantime the dwellers in the valley
are to be lulled into sense of security
and the navigability of our rivers in
sured long enough for hydraulic pur-
poses. by pine boughs and manzanita
twigs.
A year or two more of this and we
shall wake up to realize that hydraulic
mining has been rehabilitated with q
vengeance-outside Of the law and with
out any actual restraint. Is it best to
live under this menace without protest
until it becomes developed catastrophe
or to obyiate the calamity by anticipat-
ing II?

NOTE AND COMMENT.

Measles are prevalent in the State among
both old and young, at least in these parts,
which recalls the TACT that the Physician Su-
perintendent of the Home for Feebled-Minde
Children, some three years ago reported to
the Olive-growers' Convention, that when the
disease broke out in that institution he
adopted the plan OF giving the patients first d
thorough sponging with hot water from head
to toe and then Immediately used copfous
ona quito frequent iHuuot1ous OF warm olive
oil, well rubbed in. This, with mucilaglnous
drinks, warmth, and a generous Diet com
pleted the treatment and it was successful.
According to the amount of oil used there
was an absence of the craving thirst, and the
eruption ''came out" several hours earlier
than where the oil was not used. The doctor
declared that the malnstay in that epidemic
was the olive OIL This fact is worth know
ing at this juncture.
