separations that ran chiefly toward horses,
bicycles and athletic sports, but which occa-
sionally, also, turned toward the facile divini-
ties of the stage. All these tendencies seemed
equally d1sreputable at the Hotel Lebaudy,
and before long the boy came TO be regarded
as sheep decidedly black. Then came the
experience with the money-lenders, and these
people advanced whatever sums he wished,
asking IN return only all occasional signature
at the foot of piece of stamped paper. In
stantly began the wild, short race that ended
Amelia-les- Bains. The boys extravaganza
soon sent his nickname, ale petit sucrier,'
flying pretty nearly around the world. His
Mortified family tried to put him in an insane
asylum and failed miserably. He was not
mad, or even particularly vicious. His gener-
osity equaled his extravaganza and won for
him lnnumerable parasites and a few friends.
The story of his career does not need re-
hearsing. Ithas been told too often and too
recently.
Only the end of the story is at all out of the
common. When 1t came time for Max Le-
baudy to render the service which every able
bodied Frenchman owes, or, at least, is forced
to pay, his country by serving in the army, the
Partisan press almost with a single voice de-
clared that way would be found to exempt
the millionaire from the hardships which
other conscripts undergo. So loud was this
cry that no way was found. Instead. the COW
ardly officers under whom Lebaudy served
were so afraid lest the inevitable charges OF
bribery might stick that they treated the
famous "sucrier" with outrageous severity.
Privileges that peasant conscript got for the
asking were denied to his absurdly and dan
gerously rich comrade. Even when repeated
examinations had disclosed that the young
fellow was far advanced in consumption, and,
therefore, entitled TO an immediate discharge,
fear OF newspaper suspicious ana revilings
silenced the very doctors, and the only favor
they would show was 10 send the wretched
victim of wealth to hospital crowded with
typhus patients just returned from the marshes
of Madagascar.
And there he died 1t is a remarkable story.

POLITICS AND BUSINESS.

The vote taken upon the silver bill in the
Senate on Saturday closes what may be
called dilatory episode in the proceedings
OF that body and leaves the way open for
an immediate consideration of the emer-
gency tariff. That measure ought GER
tainly to be pushed forward with as much
speed as possible, for it not only con Germs
the revenues of the Nation but through
the degree of protection it affords will
operate beneicially in restoring CONNER
cial confidence and stimulating the long
depressed industries of the country.
From the silver bill nothing is to be ex-
pected. The Senators themselves can
hardly have thought it of great i'm
portance, for even SO stanch supporter of
free-silver coinage as Senator Stewart
spoke of it as "a dress parade" and those
who were opposed did not think it worth
while to make any very earn est efforts to
beat 1t. 1t will have no effect whatever on
legislation except 70 defeat the bond bill
that was sent up from the House, and will
probably have even less OH the course of
Presidential politics. In fact, the vote in
the Senate showed that party lines were
not drawn upon it, and it is therefore i'm
possible to make it party issue in the
campaign.

RIVER IMPROVEMENTS.

The dangers developed and damages
wrought by the recent storm in California
have been used as lever by some of our
exchanges to overturn any possibility of
the rehs bilitation of hydraulic mining.
The Sacramento Bee is exceedingly bitter
in its denunciation of that industry, and
makes these extraordinary declarations:
'The rivers are filling up more and more
every season, while hydraulic mining con-
tinues to pour down it's food of debris.
AS much detritus is sitting down the
streams and clogging up their beds as
there ever was. Across the mouth of the
Feather great bar has been formed by
the avalanche of debris hurled down the
Yuba by the hydraulic mines and this has
caused the Feather to back up until it has
spread all over the adjacent country"
The Record Union is by no means so ex-
treme, but it takes the ground that hy-
draulic mining is the cause of all the
trouble, and the inference from its posi-
ton is that this industry should not be
tolerated hereafter under any circum-
stances. Another of our interior ex-
changes declares that the recent floods
loosened great quantities of debris con-
fined in the mountains by inadequate
dams and sent them down into the valley.
Both the Record Union and the Bee de-
clare that there is great danger of the Sac
ramento leaving its banks permanently
and establishing for itself different
course, thus leaving Sacramento off the
water highway. The Record Union proves
the imminence of this danger by showing
that the river runs along the crest of a
ridge made by a filling up of its bed and
the building of levees to restrain it.
AS the ostensible purpose of these two
papers in pointing out these conditions and
dangers is to call the attention of the Gov
eminent to the need of keeping the rivers
open and making them fit for navigation,
The CALL heartily agrees with that pur-
pose. The subject of hydraulic mining is
one for future consideration-witht the res
ervation that if it is true that the restrain
ing dams in use in the mountains are
inefficient they should be promptly in
vestigated. These were constructed under
the direction and with the sanction of COM
petent Government engineers, and if there
is any fault it is chargeable to them and
not to the business of hydraulic mining.
The Barham bill for the reclamation
of the rivers seems to fit the needs of the
situation admirably, and the Record Union
is eminently right in refuting the position
taken by a paper in Southern California
that the improvement of our rivers is
merely matter of local interest. The
whole sentiment and influence of Califor-
mia should be united on this subject.
