The renewal of the talk of giving the tariff law an ex post facto bearing on goods imported before it's passage is made perhaps in the idle hope of pre- venting importers from stocking up with goods to be sold after the bill passes. It is absurd from any other standpoint, as neither in law nor in fact could an in- crease of duties be laid on goods which, having once paid the lawful rate of duty, had entered into consumption.-New York World, Dem.

 There is nothing more unconstitutionsl about making a tariff retroact to April than there is about making it retr3act to May 1. The trouble is that the only judicial decision on the subject points to
 the scheme being illegal The whole project is chiefly a scare, she idea of its promoters being that if they can only frighten the wicked importers badly enough they will step importing pending the passage of the bill and then begin importing like mad as soon as it is signed-result, under the Wilson tariff, stagna'don without revenue; under the Dingley tariff, prosperity with revenue.- New York Evening Post, Ind
 The scheme of passing a. law compel ling all imports after April 9 to pay the duties which shall hereafter be imposed is a novel one for the United States and we are not surprised that even the hardest protectionists hesitate to resort to it. 1t is contrary to the spirit of che constitution, though it would probably not be declared unconstitutional by rhe courts. Of course, ths republican lead CTS in the house would pass a retroactive bill promptly if they thought that they could ge. it through the senate, and if they were not afraid of it's effect on pub- lie opinion. They are by ro, means sure of the senate, and public opinion already gives them a great deal of uneasiness.- New York Times, Dem.

HELvETIA CEMETERY.
Mayor Hubbard Wants 1t Put II
Better Condition

To the Honorable Board of Trustees:
In the deed conveying to the eitv of
Sacramento the New Helvetia Cemetery
the following conditions were assumed
by the city. viz That the city of Sac
ramento should keep the buiidines
fences, tanks, pipes, etc. in good re-
pair and condition and that it
should keep all the avenues in
said cemetery free from weeds and
leaves, and also keep the burial lot
known as the Reeves Family Tomb,
irrigated and in good condition. and
that upon the failure of the city of Sac
ramento TO comply with any of the fore
going conditions of this conveyance II
will forfeit all its rights, title and inter-
est in and TO the foregoing described
property.
This cemetery had been very much
neglected. but during the past two years
ii has been put in good condition, the
roads and avenues have been cleaned
The record-union., 1897-11-16

and we'll cared for, and the cemetery
now presents good appearance.
The old picket fence on the west and
south sides is in very poor condition and
should be replaced with new one, as
the old one is liable to be blown down
at any time. The length of the fence
required on the west side is 613 feet,
and on the south side $50 feet, making
total of LAB feet.
To construct a new fence with five
foot pickets it will cost for materials
about $2S5. The Superintendent has
sufficient force to build it, If your board
would furnish the necessary material,
or if you deem it more advisable, let a
contract to some builder to construct
the fence.
l would recommend that you act in
this matter at once, so that good fence
may soon be built. There is sufficient
money in the cemetery fund to provide
for the payment of the fence. Respect
fully submitted,
C. II. HUBBARD, Mayor.
