This community shares with every
other public spirited and enterprisins
community in the State a desire to re-
inforce its population and capital, and
with this desire we feel the most sim
cere sympathy. Let the experiment
now in hand proceed. We have dis
charged a duty we shall never find oc-
casion to regret; but men learn obedi-
ence to the truth by the things they
suffer. Let the existing experiment go
forward, and the deficiency of the alb
sence OF experience will be supplied.
Whatever is true in this matter will
be disclosed in the proverb, Expert
ence teaches a dear school, and there -
a very large class of people who will
learn in no other. At all events, the
present state of ignorance will give
way to that education which comes OF
practical experiment, and that the
highest and best results may attend all
concerned is our earnest hope.

Who Knew Patrick Murphy.

Thomas Gaffney of Langhorne, Bucks
County, Pa, has written to the Judges
of this county to ask for information
of his uncle, Patrick Murphy, who came
to California in the early sixties and
was engaged in mining, at one time
being interested in a silver mine at
White Pine, New. The last heard of
him was that he was living in Sac
ramento Hhe was about five feet nine
inches in hight, with brown hair and
sandy whiskers and dark blue eyes.

that with Kansas in harness again, re-

of the present regarding the attitude OF
the American Government towards
Cuba. Long ago the United States
should have recognized the belligerent
character of the insurgents. That grace
having been refused them for two
years, it is probable that now they care
nothing more about it. What they are
striving for is independence. alone de-
termines the measure of their desire.
1t looks, therefore. very much as if
relative to Cuba must be one of two
things and these alone, namely, refusal
to recognize or interfere, or fat recog-
milton of the belligerency of the Cubans
with intimation of intention to ac-
knowledge their independence soon.
Which is to say that the time will not
again be suspicious for rendering our
good Offices; that the day has gone
by when it was possible to approach
Spain with the hope that she would
treat with the Cubans on any line ac-
ceptable to them. They have recently
through their leaders, declared that
they viii die in the ditch before they
will accept any thing less than inde-
pendence, and We think that the peo-
pie of the United States are convinced
of their sincerity in making this declar-
alton.
OF course a devoted band of rebels
defying mother country may, despite
their patriotism and determination to
refuse all overtures of compromise, be
whipped and beaten into the dust, and
their contention ended for them. But
there is no reason to believe that the
cuban insurgents are in any special
danger of such a fate. With the aid
they receive from their sympathizers il .
the United States, with the best
thought of the people of Cuba, the best
brains and the highest culture on their
side-that being conceded by impartial
onlookers, since the Cubans are ac-
knoWledged to be superior in intelli-
gence to the Spanish in Cuba-they will
not be conquered. What Spain has
talled to accomplish in the last two
years will remain unachieved by her in
the next two years.

samples taken both from the reservoir
and the taps in the city. This shows
TIA, any contamination of the water

and the officers of the water company

The samples were taken during the re-
cent drought, when the water all over

time all water, it is said, contains more
or less impure matter. Now that heavy
raius have fallen the supply has been
greatly increased and no danger is
feared. Nevertheless the water COM
pany will take every step to secure q
pure and wholesome supply for the city.
