YoUNTvILLE HOME.
The Trustees, 1t Is Said, Have Not
Complied With the Law.

At q meeting of the State Board of
Exalniners yesterday, at which Secre-
tary of State Brown and Secretary or
the Board Marxley We're present, the
usual breeze arose. but it was Secre-
tary Markley who this time kicked over
the traces. instead of the Secretary of
State
In 1896 Secretary of State Brown in
vestlg&ted the right of the Yountville
Veterans Home to draw money from
the State. He reported adversely, on
the ground that the home was pri-
yate and not a public institution, and
his report was approved by the Board
of Examiners.
In order to secure State aid the Di-
rectors Of the Yountville Home drafted
bill, which was passed by the Legls-
latura of 1897. entitled AN Act to ac-
cept from the Veterans Home Associa-
ton the conveyance of and to vest the
title in the State of California to the
tract of land in Napa County known as
the Veterans Home, with the improve
ments and furnishings theron, to make
the same a State home for United
States soldiers, sailors and marines, and
to provide for the government thereof
by the State"
The Legislature also appropriated
100000 for the support of the institu-
tion for the forty-ninth and fiftieth fis-
cal years, and the bill for the first
quarter of the former, amounting to
S11 30, was laid before the board at
yesterdays session for its approval.
Secretary of State Brown signed it,
but when it was tossed across the
table to Mr.. Marlxley he would have
none Of It, and as a consequence the
bill remains unapproved.
Mr.. Marlxley's reason for declining to
set his seal of approval to the claim
was that, so far as he had been able
to learn the Yountville Home Associa-
ton has never complied with the Act
passed by the last Legislature, the
property not as yet having been deed
ed to the State.
Mr. Markley's action will probably
cause a stir among the Directors of the
institution, but will undoubtedly lead
to their early compliance with the law.

splendid journalistic monument to his
genius and mastery ability.
But he was something more than a
newspaper man. He read a great deal.
He gave close attention to sociological
questions; he found time to take part in
all movements for betterments in the
community of his home. He found time
also TO prepare and deliver lectures be-
fore bodies of young men, and he did
considerable work as a bookmaker and
author. He was one of the founders of
the American Cyclopedia"; he became
biographer of General Grants; he
turned aside to edit a work on poetry,
and he rested from his labor by taking
part in literary debates and educational
criticism
He was all in all a remarkable man.
A man in whom rugged common sense
and shrewdness and calculation, bold
ness and careful preparation, hunor and
sternness, independence and freedom,
and yet partisan loyalty strangely
monized. His name will go down IN
history as that of one of the foremost
Journalists of any time and one OF the
very few great ones.
Citizens may safely entertain the be-
lief, nay the faith, that if VIM. Land is
elected Mayor he will stir the city UP
to duty doing in one respect, which Is
sadly greatly needed, namely, the care
of the residence streets. Time and time
again has the press called attention to
the neglect to clean the streets outside
of business sections The response has
been invariably, 1--WE cannot afford it. /"
Decency replies, You cannot afford to
be filthy" But we have laws against
depositing filth and rubbish in the
streets. These laws are explicit, and
admit of no question. 1t is not difficult
to enforce them. But they are not en-
forced. The attention of the present
city administration has repeatedly been
called to the violation of these laws and
ordinances, but nothing has been done
about it. Rubbish, tree cuttings, decay
ing vegetable matter, and other refuse,
is deposited daily in the residence
streets, and there left to rot and be
beaten into the soil to make filthy mud
in wet seasons, and insufferable dust in
the dry. But appeal. remonstrance and
insistence have failed to correct these
evils under the present administration.
These offenses have been committed
under the very nose of the Street Su-
perfntendent, and no attention has been
paid to such fragrant violation of the
law. VIM. Land win enforce the ordi-
nances. He will use all his powers as
Mayor and his influence, as a progress
sive citizen, to give US cleanliness in the
residence streets.

charged the Jury as fairly as ever
