is being taken in hand by the New
which forbids any paper from publish
ing a portrait of any person without
the consent of that person. Another
bill has also been introduced which
actually goes so far as to propose the
appointment of press censor. The
last is of course nonsense. but the first
is a good idea and will probably become
a law. 1t is as much libel to pub
lish caricature of a man for the pur-
pose of holding him up to ridicule as it
is to publish statements in letter press
with the same purpose. The law
should make no distinction, and if the
one offense be made punishable, as it
is, SO should the other
THE HIGHWAY BILLS.
Redding Free Press: The State
highway bills have passed both
branches of the Legislature, and only
require the signature of the Governor,
to give the State system, which it is
hoped will ultimately lead TO good
roads. These bills may require amend
nents from time to time, but they are
in the right direction and we hope
much from them.
THE SENSATIONAL PRESS.
Tulare Register: The trouble with
| the sensational press is that it tars
every other paper with the same stick
that it is itself tarred with. There
are papers that are dignifed and honor
able. There are CORES pondents 1t
Sacramento who tell the truth and
nothing but the truth, and yet all suf-
fer from the rascally conduct of the
Examiner" and the many examples
of legitimate Journalism seem TO avail
little in offsetting examples set by such
Papers as the Examiner" The Rec
ord-Union,' for instance, has reported
the proceedings of the Legislature with
the utmost fidelity, and SO has the Oak
land Enquirer" and yet their exam
PIE, with others, have not sufticed to
admonish the legislators that all news
papers are not such as the Examiner"
all reporters not like Levings or all
managers like Lawrence. The news
papers in this State need for their
safety certain changes in the law of
libel, but the Examiner incident has
made such changes impossible at this
session and the whole craft suffers in
consequence. The Examiner" is a
curse to the State and the people there
Of. 1t debauches the public mind and
brings into discredit an honorable and
useful profession.

the vote of 1896 over that of 1883 was
about 1S.5 per cent, or 9.25 per cent.
for each four years. This was less than
the average gain in the last seven

SHASTA MIRE CLOSED.
Texas Consolidated Rendered Idle BY
Trouble Caused Over a Supply of
W1-er

REDDING, CAL, June Il The fam ous
Texas Consolidated mine, owned by r. G..
Hart, in Old Diggings district four miles
from Redding, was closed this morning.
The reason was the shutting off the water
supplying power for the mill. The
power for the Texas Consolidated was
supplied by the GarIick Z ectrical Com
pany, which has plant on the Sacramento
River, at the mouth of Spring Creek.
This company has leased ditch from tn
Mountain Copper Company and through
this ditch runs the wafer supplying the
power for the plant, which in turn trans
mitted power for the Hart mine. The
! Mountain Copper leased the diIch and
was in turn to receive water sufficient to
operate portion of its works at the big
smelters at Keswick-
1t is claimed the Garlick company
failed 70 supply the Mountain mines
people with water according to agree
ment, and they cut the ditch so no water
could run OF course this compels the
Hart mine TO cease operations. The Gar
lick Company now threatens suit against
the Mountain Mine Company, the Hart
people threaten suit against the GarIicN
Company and the Mountain Copper Com
pany, it is said, will also sue the Garlick
Company.
There will be complicated litigation and
the outcome is looked forward tu
anxiously by all concerned. In the
meantime the Hart mine, one of the
largest gold producers in the county, will
remain idle.

Watson came TO town from the Umatilla

said to have been made on a Point be-
tween two canyons east of Dead Man Hill
not far from the old emigrant road.
Watson was searching for hogs when he
made the discovery. The wagon was
found southeast OF Parker Wells place
about one andsa half miles east of Dead

ers were killed in 1878. He found the
skulls about three miles from the wagon.
They were not altogether, but were scat

were killed by Indians, and although all
their money and valuables were taken

The Controversy Breaks Out IN New Spots
end With Greater HrUieHce IN
EnOIdnd

LONDON, ENG, June 14.-The contro-
vtrsy between the advocates and oppo-
Dents of vaccination, which has contin-
ued at intervals ever since the adoption OF
legislation making inoculation compuI-
sorry and providing penalties for non-con-
forri.ity with the law, has recently broken
out with renewed vigor, the cause of the
renewed interest in the subject being the
issuance by the royal commission of a re-
port setting forth its claims in support of
vaccination.
The mem bers of the commission assert,
first, that vaccination diminlsnes the liza
bility to attack from smallpox; second,
that It mitigates the severity of the dis.
ease, and third, that it greatly reduces The
risk of fatal result.
Although these claims are not as sweep
ing as were formerly made, they are sup
ported by an array of statistics which, il
is claimed, have been juggied out of all
sem biance to truth.
Several pamphlets have been issued,
apparently showing that the figures
adduced by the commission on their side
of the proposition In reality prove quite
the opposite, and many prominent physi-
cans are quoted. all OF whom admit the
great risk of communicating disease
espec1aliy venereal disease-through the
virus used in vaccination.
Numerous cases are cited in whic b
healthfuI children have been made :he
innocent victims OF the most repulsive
diseases, and other instances are men
TONED of parents submitting to long terms
of imprisonment rather than allow their
children to su bmit tc the possible dangers
of vaccination-danger which are ad-
mitted even by the royal commission to
be in the aggregate not inconsiderable.
The present discussion of the subject
aCTiTn Onlnns a n
anv that has preceded, although it is
somewhat doubtful whether the opposi-
ton will result III a change from existing
conditions

HAVANA, CUBA, June 14.-Mariano, a

The fight lasted several hours and re-en-

General Weylcr has ordered the arrest
OF Spanish Majors Antonio Torres and
Antonio Luesada for cowariice They
were put into prison Saturday. The cause
OF their arrest is that at the plantation of
Goyo Ruiz two miles from Santa Clara
city, Spanish guerrilla force of 100, com.
manded by Torres and Luesada, was
nearly exterminated by Cubans COM
manded by Monteagudo. Fifty-seven
Spanish soldiers were killed and others

MADRID, SPAIN, June 14.-Senor Gel

to the Imparcial denouncing the Govern

bsen passing in Cuba, yet nobody dares 10
mention it except secretly. The result is
a deplorabIe con iition of things will be

weakness Ia upper circles and quiet resig-
nation approaching Indifferent stupidity
in the masses. l truly believe the fault
lies with the newspapers and Deputies.
We have failed in our foremost duty,
namely to be organs of opinion. If we
had realized that our silence only fostered
audacity in other quarters il would have
been known long ago that our soldiers
nearly all die in Cuban hospitals without
honor or profit to the mother country,
that the pacifcation Of Cuba is lie, re-
forms are a lie, our good relations with
the United States and other American
states are lie, and that it is lie TO pre-
tend that the policy now followed can lead
TO anything but discredit and ruin

ably because the missiles in the bomb did
