UNPARDONABLE LAUNDERING.

The interior press generally is en-
gagged in urging users of wagons to
have them fitted, repaired, or new ones
they buy made to meet the require
ments Of the broad tire law. That is
good advice, but until yesterday a
meadow full of lawyers, farmers and
wagon-makers could not have agreed
upon the meaning of the law. 1t was
another case Of blundering legislation.
1t seems that the lawmakers passed
the bill so badly worded that nouns be-
came adjectives and adjectives became
substantives. Words were omitted that
are essential to any application of the
Act A citizen of Sacramento put him
self to the task of unraveling the thing,
and he succeeded in proving conclu-
sively what the intention of the Leg
islature was, but that the intention Is
not expressed in the bill. What was
intended was fully set forth in our col
umns yesterday, with a concise table
of axle diameters and tire require
ments. 1t would be well for our ex-
changes to reproduce that table, be-
cause without it there will be mistakes
made that will put useless cost upon
farmers and other users of wagons.
The next Legislature will of course
correct the blunders of its predecessor
in this matter, so that the law will be
made ineligible by the date when il
goes into operation. In the meantime
the changes from the narrow to the
broad tire should be made. For even
in its present condition the courts will
construe the law according to its in
tention, though it is so bunglingly
worded
The incident serves the purpose of
again calling attention to the mistakes
of legislators. Some of these the
'Record-Union" the other day pointed
out, quoting freely from a collection of
blunders made in State Legislatures
other than our own, but matching
every one by a California case. Some
day we will wake clear up, with eyes
wide open, to the necessity of sending
up men to make our laws who can
write an English sentence; frame a
common legal section in words that
will convey the meaning intended;
men who have some idea of grammar
and good language; who know the
difference between a noun and an ad-
jectiye, and who can add two to two
without putting down false result.

the system Is flying along the track of dis
ease at such a frightful pace that no ordinary
methods will prevent disaster. There are
plenty of medicines which act merely as
brakes to slow up" the disease and put
off disaster for little while; but that isn't
enough What is needed is a medicine that
will instantly reverse the entire wasting,
degenerating process.
When people are losing flesh and strength
and vitality, with the life oozing out of them
day after day, they need DR.. Pierce's Golden
Medical Discovery, which acts directly upon
the vital forces completely transforms the
entire nutritive organism and totally re-

which is at the root of all diseases.

organs to supply the circulation with an
abundance Of pure, healthy. red blood II

muscular flesh and healthy nerve-force.
Miss Mary Whitman, of East Dickinson,

PRESS ON THE PETITIONS.

The Record Union" never tires
working for the best interests of the
State of California 1t is because Of
this devotion that it dwells frequently
and earnestly upon any proposition it
advances, or that is advanced by any
other that is justified by wisdom and
experience as beneficent for California.
We hold that a great need for such a
State as this is easy, cheap and ready
access to every natural wonder in the
State by tourists and our own people
as we'll.
We have in this State the greatest.
most imposing and awe-inspiring of
natural wonders; the sublimest of ma
ture's glorious temples TO God, the
Yosemite Valley. It is buried in the
bosom of a great national reserve.
Over that reserve, and to that valley,
we hold that the Federal Government
should build good, swift, easy. per
manent, model free road, to relate. over
the most approved route, with the val
leys of California and the lines of usual
transportation.
To that end we have placed petitions
throughout the State, and now we ask
the people to sign them that We may
gather and mass them about the lst
of November, and place them in the
hands of the California delegation for
presentation to Congress. Let there
be no delay in signing. This is a
matter of far-reaching Importance. 1t
means a great deal for California and
CalHornians. Let US besiege Congress
until it grants this reasonable and just
request.
We are told that IL would cost greatly

Referring TO possible trouble with
Spain the Santa Rosa Republican
says that this nation is not bully and
cannot afford to be one. That is very
true If we had, however made liz
tie closer approach to being bully, we
think that the nation would have been
better off. On the continent Of Eu-
rope to-day we are looked upon as
something like a poltroon. We are
openly taunted with the truth that we
do not afford our people abroad the
protection given to the subjects of
Great Britain, Germany France or
Russia. Our citizens in foreign parts
are constantly appealing to foreign
Consuls and Ministers to afford them
protection our own representatives
cannot extend simply because the peO-
pie Of many foreign lands understand
that they can insult and bullyrag
Americans with comparative impunity.
Instances of this we have had placed
before US in number, and they can be
named and the proofs given if there is
the slightest doubt about it, No, we
do not want our nation to be a bully,
but better bully than poltroon; bet
ter blusterer than a weakling; bet
ter to be feared than to be fiouted.

The news comes to hand that Don
Carlos, the pretender, has announced
that he has not given over his hopes,
that he has 100. 900 men ready to fly to
arms, and that he holds the Spanish
policy regarding Cuba to be hopeless.
This is in contradiction of earlier state
ments that the patriotism of Don Car
los prevents him from declaring
against his country while it is in the
throes of war Which is the more prob
able? We believe that as human am
bition among Kings and Princes as a
rule is the most powerful motor, there
fore Don Carlos will not consider the
tribulations Of his country if he sees
an opportunity to reach the throne. He
may well excuse himself by declaring
that the need of his people demands the
overthrow of the present ruling power,
and the recognition of a party that Will
bring peace to the nation.
