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-
perintenden of the Home for Feebled-Min
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 tirst
thorough sponging with hot water from head
to toe and then Immediately used cop1ous
and quito frequent inuuct1ous OF warm olive
oil, we'll rubbed in. This, with mucilaglnous
drinks, warmth, and 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.
There are now but ftty-one officers OF the
army lett who were in service when Fort
Sumter was fired upon. The old-time men OF
the rebellion period Will scarcely round up as
a bakers dozen ten years hence.

The suppression of hydraulic mining
has been of the greatest advantage to
California, not only negatively by re-
lieving the State from the injuries attend
ing it, but, also, by directing attention to
other forms of mining, especially quartz
mining, which lasts longer, employs more
labor at higher wages and is better for the
country in every respect. The outlook
for quartz mining all along the mother
lode from Mariposa TO Butte was never
more promising than at the present time
It would be vastly better for all con-
cernsd, directly and indirectly. if the
energy now being diverted to the re-
Mobilization of hydraulic mining. which,
under the present regime. not only does
not pay, but is as much Of public nui-
sance as formerly, could be concentrated
on the development of quartz properties.
They pay better, and If their debris is
impounded, which can be done economic
ally, they are harmless.

ADJUSTMENTS.

The Clunie Opera-house was well filled
last night and the large audience was well
pleased. Leavitts All-Star Speciality
troupe is good one. Indeed, it is very
rare that as good a variety show is 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. The AL
monts came next in one Of the best musi-
cal acts we have ever heard upon the
variety stage. The trumpellng was nota-
bly, clever and the more interesting that
it is novel. The "Misererl' by Lizzie AL
mont on the trombone was delicately
executed and tasteful bit of playing. In
all the instruments used, bells, trumpets,
saxophones, cornets, from bone, the work
was of superior order. Juno, 1.-The
man-trog," is decided novelty, contor-
zionist, an crobat, an equlIlbrlst 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 fair rep
resentative of the English seriO-cOmlc
singers of London variety and concert
halls-such as please our English cousins.
0. X. Sato, the tramp juggler, if about as
clever juggler as we have seen, and,
withal, sis q low comedian Of good parts.
His act was an unequlvocal success.
Leoni gave a very good single trapeze
exhibition, closing with sensational
swing and descent. Foley and ODell. as
a 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 a good team, but Slack is 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 cleyerly
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
Todd appeared and apologized for the
non-appearance of Stuart, tine male

Angeles, but will arrive to-day and ap-
pear tonight. All around, the show was
satisfactory and gave everyone his or
her moneys worth. The bill will be

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-
Sress. The Constitution is the organic
law, the Supreme Court is established to
be and is the final arbiter 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-
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
there should be supreme tribunal to
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 it, it
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-
aon as it now 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
win give them no favor. The court may
be rightfully criticised and the reasons
for it's decision ANAL zed-that is the rig ht
of any citizen; indeed it tends to enlight-
nent 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 oltl-
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 it Inn
poses upon each in proportion to his abll-
ity TO 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.

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 fl. for the construction of hydraulic
restraining works. If this gentleman 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 eighfeen
months, what then? Simply this: The
fimsy structure will soon rot and give
away. and then down will come the de-
bris which it held in temporary restraint
and do just rs much damage then as
though it had not been held back at all.
The Liberty Hill dam is built of rock
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 a 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 enly q sugges-
ton; the commission will not be called
on to pass judgment on any sort of
solid, indestructibls and permanent dam.
Such structure is not contemplated-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
sursd 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 a
vengesnce-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 obviate the calamity by anticipat-
ing il?

REALLY, Editor Dana may deserve to
come in for the thanks of Californ mans
after all for his sharp criticism of Cali

not apparently felt before, and many
wine consumers who had not in the past
used California wines are now examining
into their quality, and the result appears
to be favorable.
