PROMPT ACTION.

Representative Johnson has prepared
and introduced in the House-and SEN
ator Perkins has introduced it in the
Senate-a resolution calling upon the
Secretary of War to order an examina-
ton Of the Sacramento River on its
middle reaches, and report what dam
age has been done by the recent flood
waters and what work is necessary to
be ordered to restore the waters to their
natural channel and prevent delta for
nation and continuous low-land sub
mersion below the mouth of the Feather
River.
The preliminary examination and re-
port is necessary before any specific ap-
preparation can be ordered for repair of
recent damage on the river. The law
orders this procedure That it has been
initiated is cause for congratulation.
The promptness with which Mr.. John
son set in motion the necessary legisla-
tive machinery to secure from the Fed
eral Government the much-needed as
sistance proves that he is fully awake
to the demands of the situation
We may not, unhappily, expect the
War Department to act with celerity
when the instruction reaches it, for we
have very little doubt of the adoption of
theresolution. The army ngineers move
slowly in such matters. They will pos
sibly be able to report the coming
spring, but it is to be feared that they
will not finish the necessary examina-
ton in time to do So In that case, no
report will be made to Congress before
next December and no effective work
can be done to stop the diversion of the
river through the breaks referred to in
the resolution until low water in 1897.
If, however, the engineer in charge is
able to advise the Secretary Of War in
a few weeks, and it would seem that
this might be possible then If Congress
grants the necessary funds the work
can be prosecuted along the river
banks in low water of this year, and
thereby prevent a vast amount of dam
age that will result from the food
waters of next winter if nothing is done
this year to confine the river in its natu-
raj course.

splitting in the Public Streets.

Health Commissioner McShane of
Baltimore has asked the Board of
Health of that city to recommend an
ordinance making expectoration in pub
lie places a misdemeanor punishable by
a fine. Dr. McShane was moved to adj
vocate this measure by the noticeable
increase in the prevalence of consump-
ton in Baltimore. He believes the in
crease can be traced directly to the
abominable practice in reference, and
in this view he is sustained by health
officers and by physicians generally.
The distribution of germs and the con-
sequent spread of germ diseases would
be vastly lessened, according to all who
have given this subject due attention,
if the characteristically American prac-
tice of expectoration were in a measure
suppressed. DR.. McShane holds that
.expectoration in public places should
be abated like any other public nui-
sance. and that it is habit and not a
necessity is clearly enough shown by the
large number of men who are free from
it and the Insignificant number of
women who practice it,

THE SACRAMENTO RIVER.

Text of the Resolution introduced by
Congressman johnson.
A special dispatch to the San Fran
cisco Chronicle from Washington, D.
c., says:
Senator Perkins and Representative
Johnson will make a strenuous effort to
secure an appropriation for the i'm
provement of the upper Sacramento
River The floods of January caused
so much damage that the navigability
of the stream is seriously endangered.
Farmers living along the banks of the
river are greatly alarmed, and have no.
titled these members of the delegation
that something must be done at once to
close the breaks and restore the water
to it's old channel to avoid great dam
age TO farm lands. The law stands in
the way of making an appropriation IN
the usual manner for that purpose, 1t
having been provided that no appro-
priations can be made for work not
recommended by the Chief of Engineers
without a resolution of Congress. The
recommendations of General CraighiH,
Chief of Government Engineers, were
made before the floods, and for that
rason do not fit the case as it stands at
present The following resolution was
therefore prepared and introduced in
the Senate and House to-day by Sen
ator Perkins and Representative john
son, respectively. In the House it was
referred to the Committee on Rivers
and Harbors:
Whereas, Congress on August Is,
1894, passed an Act making appropria-
tions for the construction, repair and
preservation of certain public works on
rivers and harbors and for other pur-
poses; and whereas, it was provided
that no preliminary examination or sur
vey for new works other than desig-
mated in said Act should be made; and
whereas, it was further provided after
a regular report on any examination
or survey shall be submitted no sup
elemental report or estimate for the
same fiscal year shall be made without
a resolution of Congress; and whereas,
since the Chief of Engineers of the
United States Army made his report on
the Sacramento River, California, great
floods have occurred, washing out the
banks of that stream, creating creVaSseS
through which water finds it's way to
the low lands leaving the bed OF a
portion of the river nearly dry, and thus
rendering navigation difficult, and at
low water almost impossible; there

Resolved by the House and Senate
concurring, That the Secretary Of war

as to the present condition OF said sac
ramento River and the effect upon nav
igation of the recent floods therein, and
to estimate the cost of such work as
may be necessary to restore said river
to its natural channel, and to report the
nature and extent of such work as in
his opinion the circumstances of the
case require

WILL HE ExPLAINs

A news dispatch from Santa Rosa
tells Of suits brought in Sonoma County
to foreclose very large mortgage liens
on lands bought by the "Kenwood Land
Company" at Kenwood. It would seem
that the land was purchased of a Mrs
Grinelli-at least she is the plaintiff in
the actions. The company sold, says
the dispatch. to settlers many small
tracts of this land, upon which they
made partial payments. But as the
land was not paid for, not sufficiently
at least to clear it Of the incumbrance
of the mortgage lien. these settlers may
now lose not only what they have paid
on account, but also their titles to their
homes may fail. The dispatch recites
that the amount involved is over $50,-
900. OF course. as purchasers Of land

must take notice of mortgage liens, the
settlers are defenseless as against Mrs.
Grinelli's action. Now the party who
bought this land and sold to these set
tiers is D. M. Carman, Secretary of the
State Development Committee. Mr.. Car
man is now called upon to explain this
transaction and free it if he can from
the gravity of the charge that must lie
against him in good morals, whatever
the law Of notice to the settlers may be.

tary Carman to explain and clear up

mento especially at heart to become
members. 1t is not simply a merchants
association but a peoples chamber, and
as such it is the theory of its code of
laws it shall be promoted
The chamber should of its own mo-
tion, as we understand its aims and
laws, consider and deal with matters
OF broad interest. leaving matters of
local issue Of minor character to come
to it rather than to be sought out and
meddled with.
If it is studiously kept from being a
mere meddler. and is promoted as
council of energetic public-spirited men,
working unselfshly for the highest,
best good of the whole of Central and
Northern parts of the State, of which
Sacramento is a chief comercial center,
it will rise to a position Of very COM
manding influence. The thing to do is
to keep it above and out of mere local
contentious, and operate it upon the
W per levels of high public purpose.
This seems to have been the policy
of the Los Angeles chamber, under
which it has achieved great success
and been such potent factor in South
ern California development. We have
every reason to expect as much of the
Sacramento chamber
1t cannot achieve these desires, how
ever, without large and loyal mem
bership, and the citizens of the city
and of the Central and Northern sec
tions should therefore not wait to be
solicited, but Send in their applications
for membership to the Board of Direct
ors at once. 1t would be highly encour-
aging to that body, giving it's time and
ability freely to this public work, if at
its meeting tonight a score or more of
new applications should be filed. In
fact, a hundred names ought to be sent
in tonight and without solicitation.
The people owe it to this city, their own
interests and to California to fill up the
roster at once. There is no better time
to begin that work than this evening
at the business session of the directory.
Waiting to be asked should not be the
rule The very existence of the chamber
is a pressing invitation to unite with it.
Since some writers have seen fit to al
lege that the Armenians are largely but
semi civilized, and that, therefore, they
are not entitled to all the sympathy
that has been outpoured for them, we
quote, for general information, from
Frederick d. Greene's work on 1.-THE
Armenian, Outrages." He is an ac-
cepted authority, and dwelt for many
years in Armenia:
THE Armenians are a distinct peo-
pie, belonging to the best type of the
Caucasian race. Their original home
was the mountainous plateau, of which
Ararat is the center. A stimulating
climate and a constant struggle with
nature for the necessities of life have
made them industrious, moral, intelli-
gent and energetic.
THE history of Armenia, covering g.
000 years, has been a story of constant
struggle and suffering. On account of
her situation on the highway of the ma
tions, between Asia and Europe, she has
repeatedly been trampled into dust by
migrating hordes and by cruel invaders.
The fact that the Armenian stock exists
at all to-day is proof of it's wonderful
vitality and excellent quality.

NOTE AND COMMENT.

According to the Star" Pasadena is
finding out that it is cheaper, because
all ways better to have men to sweep
the streets by hand frequently during
the day, than to let filth accumulate
for tWenty-four hours and then clean it
up. Pasadena has that very bad plan
in operation now, just as Sacramento
has but the southern city will in all
probability change to the reform sys-
tenn This is the plan advised by the
Record Union" for Sacramento btu
minized streets; hand sweepers working
eight hours day. And why the County
Jail convicts should not be employed
on the work no one has yet been able
to state. k
We are actually threatened with Mrs.
Davidson of the Parson Brown scandal

that the newspaper press should keep
quiet about Sacramento's muddy water,

people are to ring gags into the text,
rapping that same water and express
irg the detestation of the players for
such cups as we present to their lips.
The policy of silence does not hamper
them in advertising our shame. If
they say as much as they do TO our
faces from behind the footlights, what
must they say of us when they appear
in other towns?
