TIE DAY.

It is with profound regret that peo-
pie notice the growing indisposition,
among adult citizens especially of the
business classes, to pay due respect to
the anniversary of the birth of Wash
ington, the second of our national holi-
days in Importance. 1t is with profound
satisfaction, on the other hand, that it
is noticed how generally those having
charge Of the educational departments
of our system are making the day more
and more a special holiday on which
exercises are held among the children
of the public. schools. calculated to i'm
press them with their duties and priv
ileges as citizens and to instill into their
minds sentiments of loyalty and kindle
among them the passion of love for
country
While the business world is becoming
so engrossed in commercial affairs as
to lose the respect for the day that sug-
gests at least so much as suspension
of business for a few hours, educators
happily are doing noble work in laying
on this day foundations for patriotic
citizenship in the hearts of the rising
generation. It is fact illustrative of
e growing indifference for patriotic
idays that in our own city the leg
ltive body of the community, the
nd of the city government, actually
ID on Washington's birthday as
date Tor she trial of a policeman on
charges preferred, and that order was
made within the very week in which
the day occurs. It cannot be said that
this was mere forgetfulness-it was far
more. for it testified to the fact that so
little thought was given to the day as
a teaching date, and one of high i'm
portance in the scheme of perpetuation
of free institutions, that its near ap-
preach was not noticed or the naming
of the date in the order did not suggest
what day it was
But if in the business world the day
as a patriotic holiday is falling into
disuse, we cannot believe that it will
long so continue. The people viii pres
entity demand return TO such recogni-
ton Of the day by formal observance,
by patriotic exercises, by display of
banners, by assembling to hear ad-
dresses. and by such other holiday
methods as viii do honor to the day
and serve to impress the youthful mind
at least with the meaning of its OBJ
servance.
For our own city. let this day be
true holiday. Business should be sus-
pended that the minds Of the people
may be recalled to the occasion and its
place in the history of the republic.
The national flag should float from
every house top; societies and family
groups should in at least some slight
way commemorate the anniversary by
social ceremonies. The day should be
given up to rest and recreation, to ex-
change Of congratulations and loyal
pledges and generally the ordinary de-
tail of toll and vocation should be laid
aside.

The New York Times devotes a
column to labored essay to prove that
the discovery of germs helps the doc
tors" and cites the recent Massachu-
setts instance of twenty-six cases of
malaria successfully treated on the ba-
sis of microscopica1 examination for
certain organisms in the blood. We
cannot repress our surprise that in the
blaze of this days intelligence it should
have been deemed necessary to argue
through so many as two lines in de-
fense of obvious truth. The Times is
mistaken in one respect, by the way;
the doctor does not look for germs. No
human eye has discovered the germ,
for it is that which lies below and be-
hind revealable causes. 1t is the un-
seen, though not the unknown. The re-
suit of the germ is alone discoverabIe.

The cases of the County of Sacra-

Eyerson, p H. McGrath, II. S. Crocker
& Co. and E. S. Wachhorst, were called
in Judge Catlin's court yesterday and
ordered transferred to Department Two.
The cases have been set for trial on
the 9th of March, when Judge Hunt of

These are cases growing out of the ac-

that certain sums of money paid the de-

Tens of thousands Of columns Of print
in the newspaper press, any amount Of
maudlin sentiment, a great deal Of
money and an immeasurable quantity
of slangy CAB, have been devoted to the
doings. preparations, bravado and dirty
talk of the two bruisers, Maher and
Fftzsinnons. and their respective man
ayers. for more than a month, regarding
the fist-fight threatenings of these rib
punishers. A great State has been put
to much expense. troops have been
called out, and the Republic of Mexico
has been stirred to its depths. while
the Governments of two Territories
have been exercised greatly in efforts to
prevent these sloggers from blacking
each others eyes. And after all this fuss
and froth and mounting and clatter of
arms and buster Of authority and
threats of fighting, one of these men
has with a single blow in one round

ring vocabulary has it, and unhappily
did not kill the bruiser. There was
siuDlv the one round and one blow for
all this pother. Was it worth it? Was
It worth while to stir up the nation over
these pugilists? If the newspapers had
in common decency left them alone,
have given them no publicity and free
advertising, their chatter would have
ceased long ago, the alleged fight have
been declared abandoned and the people
would be much better off. 1t is evident

NOTE AND COMMENT.

We have no sympathy for Rarson
Brown. His method in dealing with
the Davidson woman and paying her
$500 is enough to condemn him as an
ass. But then precious little sentiment
need be wasted over the Stockton
woman. If the preacher was guilty of
criminal intercourse with her, what
shall be thought of widow, a woman
of the world, who is no chicken, and
unquestionably as artful piece as lives
in the form of the Lords handiwork,
who goes upon the stand and confesses,
twixt smiles and smirks, and winks
and struggling of the shoulders, that
she was ''ruined?" Ruinedl indeed.
1t is a bad mess all around. The
preacher does not deserve to be con-
victed on any such testimony. Men
ought to be brought to taw by other
than that order of witnesses. if they are
to be punished for deeds done in the
body. The presumption of innocence
obtains for the parson, and it is greatly
stiffenad by the free confession of the
designing woman who seduced him
We are coming to believe that after all,
Tennessee Claf1in is pretty near to the
truth when she AYERS that more men
are seduced by women than women are
ruined by men.

themselves upon the inquiring mind:
If there is any reason why the Legis-

has not that reason existed all

A GLASS CAN GARDEN.

The following interesting method Of
observing the sprouting of seeds is
communicated to the Observer by
Charles A. Emery. The necessary i'm
plement is large glass jar OF can.
The one used by the writer formerly
held candy at a confectioner's and
was treated as follows "It was filed
to within about an inch of the neck
with earth and a row of seeds, corn,
peas, beans, ETC., were laid around
next to the glass, and On inch more of
soil added. The condition of the seed
is the same as it would be if planted
in the ground, except each seed was
in plain sight, and the process of
swelling, sprouting, the root growing
down and the top up, could be watched
through all its stages, giving a far
better idea of the growth of the seed
lings than pages of book description.
Any glass dish can be used that has a
plain side, such as fruit cans, tall
tumblers, large bottles, with the top
cut off, or even a small wooden box,
with one of its sides removed and re.
placed with pane of glass, and the
trouble of making one will be well re.
paid by the interest that will be taken
in it by both old and young. "-Bos-

DON'T KILL GROUND Mobrs.

When farmers take upon themselves
the destruction of ground moles they
little realize that they are working
against their own interest. The ami.
mails live entirely upon insects and can
devour in twenty-four hours several
times their own weight, leaving all
vegetable matter alone. If the sur
face of the soil shows indications of
their presence, it may be declared in
advance that they have found on their
passage through the substrata the re-
quisite food for their maintenance,
which in the case of beet cultivation
generally means white worms. These
would have subsequently come to the
surface and partially destroyed crop
OF beets. That rows of roots have suf-
fered from ground moles is insignifi.
cant in comparison with acres of beets
that would have been victims of insect
ravages. 1t frequently happens that
the tiller prides himself upon the sue
cess of his beet crop while his neighbor,
suggests the Sugar Beet journal, has
been less fortunate, when the real cause
may have been that IN the latter case
the ground moles have been destroyed
and in the former they were left to
themselves.
