LAW AND LYNCHING.

Themob Of lynchers thathung a negro
at Hawesville, Ky, had leader, who.
pointing to the corpse, cried out, Here
is the protection we offer to our wives
and daughters!" That exclamation
justifies the inquiry whether after all
lynch law has afforded any sensible
protection to the women of the South
How is it, If these unlawful and sum-
mary acts are in their nature deterrent.
that the necessity for their repetition
continues?
Is it not true that lynchings have
grown in number and violence steadily -?
If so, then follows that they do not
deter and do not protect Are the wo-
men of sections where these savage
scenes are common any better protect
ed than are the women of communities
quent? We are of the opinion that the
same solicitude to protect and avenge

mites of the country?
Let citizens who rush to mob law on
the claim that orderly procedure is

to giving moral support to officers of
the law, to the selection of administra-
tors of the law who are honest and
courageous. and to the putting up of
juries sensible of their obligations, and
we viii have no need for lynch law
anywhere.
The laws Of the land are, or where
faulty can be made entirely sufficient to
meet and cope with any offending. Ce-
lerity and certainty of lawful punish
ment are the true deterrents; these ele-
ments can be injected into our system,
and where they are wanting the fault
is with the people from whom the laws
spring, and who select the administra-
tors of the law.

SAN FRANCISCO is SINKING.
Our Chief City Will Soon Reach
Sea Level and Disanuear

THE whole peninsula on which San
Francisco stands has been and is grad
ually sinking down to the sea level, =
said Professor Andrew c. Lawson, the
retiring President of the University of
California Scientific Association, while
delivering his farewell address before
that body recently at Berkeley. The
subject of the lecture was The Flood
ing of the Golden Gate
Nearly all parts of the earths sur
face show the phenomena of uplift or
depression" said Professor Lawson.
Movements of this kind are either
continental or orogenic. 1t is neces-
sary to have in mind the criteria of
these two movements The criteria of
the uplift are found in the presence of
terraces and sharply shaped canyons.
The criteria OF depression are shown
when deltas are built up at the mouths
of rivers, when the sea floods into the
valleys. Some time this depression con-.
tinues to such a degree that mountains
become islands, sinking. as it were, to
their knees in the water. Greece is
such a mountainous region UP to its
knees in the sea.
From Puget Sound to Behring Sea
we have a depressed coast The shore
from the Straits of Fuca to Cape Men
docino shows evidence of uplift and
also slight depression afterward From
Cape Mendocino to Russian River there
has been a constant uplift. But from
this point to the Bay of Monterey the
region after having been elevated has
been marked by a great sag. 1t is to
hot wa 1oa Jlo Of Go Err1n
cisco, Bolinas Bay, brakes Bay and
females Bay. They are stream valleys
invaded by the waters of the ocean.
This fact is very noticeable in Lake
Merced. It is clearly valley formed
by juncture of several streams. The
lake has been invaded by the sea and
now it's bottom is ten feet below the
sea level
.The phenomena of depression are
also seen at Richardson's Bay and at
San Rafael and Napa The river val
leys are filing up and making tidal
marshes More positive evidence is
found in the swamp material in the
Oakland Estuary, taken twenty feet
below the tide. The bay has been in
vaded by the sea and flooded the river
valleys.
''All this subsistence is of compare
lively recent geological change and
may go deeper. 1 am not sure Of the
downward movement at the present
time. 1t is hard to catch it on the move.
Probably the whole of the San Fran
cisco Peninsula is going down as the
maximum effect of the great sag that
made the Golden Gate at San Francis

ural thing for other monarshies to ex-

sire the defeat and humiliation Of

therefore, we'll to read all stories about
European aid being given or promised
to Spain, in case of a rupture Of her
relations with the United States, with
suspicion. These tales emanate from

The medical faculty of San Francisco
is agreed that since the enforcement of
milk inspection and test ordinances in
that city, infant mortality has greatly
declined. and the general health of the
juvenile population has much improved.
No statistics are at hand relative to
the effect upon adults, but it is agreed
that the dangers of the transmission of
tuberculosis have measurably lessened
It is now stated that the tax levy by the
new Board of Supervisors is so low
that it will involve the abandonment
of milk inspection, and that conscience
less dai!ymen will again be free to sell
LIQUID poison If this is true, then the
new board has taken a retrogressiVe
steo. which no demands for economy
will excuse. It is equivalent to direct
and affirmative license to return to
abuses that will increase infant mortal
ity. augment i'll health and permit the
sowing of the seeds of tuberculosis to
be resumed. A city that for the sake
of a paltry few cents of tax deliber-
ateLy puts the lives and well-being of
it's citizens upon the altar as sacri-
fee to economy will invite the exc
crations of mankind.

FALSE PROPHETS.

The Chicago Tribune has been
making diligent search for facts COIL
cerning the advance and decline in
farm land values for the year. 1t has
to this date secured returns from 416
counties in twelve States, and the ag-
gregate shows that in the twelve
months ending September 1st the farm
lands in those States increased in value
$474, 745, ,240.
On this basis the lands in the twelve
States including all the counties-re-
turns from fully half not yet come in
increased in value nearly 81, 900, 100000.
The details Of the reports in to date,

Aggregated, there are not twenty-five
miles of good roads in the five counties
outside of the cities and towns-good
roads in the true sense of the term; such
roads as the wealth production and eli
matte invitation of the counties named
call for, and that true economy dictates
in communities which keep abreast of
the march of progress. Probably it
would be prophetic to say that when
the taxes referred to are collected and
expended, the conditions will not be ma
teriany improved, since the system up
on which most counties in California
proceed is one in which there is more
expenditure and greater cost to all the
people in keeping bad roads in poor re-
pair than would be imposed for the con-
