TIE LAST VETO.

At no time has the Record Union"
considered the educational restrictive
clause OF the immigration bin of the
high value contended for by its propo-
nents. This journal has contended from
the outset that ability to read a few
prove the corrective that is needed to
keep from our shores the undesirable
classes: that really those most danger
Gus to our interests are apt to be those
who are more than usually intelligent,
and who manifest the possession of
some educational requirements. How
ever we have looked upon the educa-
tional clause as at least a step indicat-
ing movement of public sediment in
right direction, and as calculated to
give greater momentum to that move
ment.
The President has vetoed the BILL
and in his message has set forth his
reasons in lengthy detail 1t is TO be
regretted that he was convinced it was
his duty to prevent the bill becoming
law. since this defeat will tend to set
back the whole movement to restrict
immigration to those classes desirable
for the whole country. The education
al requirement he considered a radical
departure from our traditional policy.
and therefore dangerous. Most ad-
vance is departure from old time poli-
cies and ideas. The minor portion of
progressive movement is upon old lines.
The President points out that With
immigration but little restricted we
have grown to our present Importance,
yet against many classes that have as
simulated with us and become valued
parts of our social and political system,
the same demand for exclusion long
ago was preferred That is true. but

THE SUPERVISORS.
Several Road Matters Up for Hearing
Yesterday.

John e. Butler and d. w. Taylor ap
peared before the Board of Supervisors
yesterday and asked that small bridge
be constructed over a waterway that
crosses the Sacramento and Placerville
wagon road, about eighteen miles from
the city.
The application was referred to the
Road Committee.
DR.. Mckee of Elk Grove appeared in
behalf OF a petition from residents of
that vicinity asking that a road run
ming through and out of Elk Grove be
graded, drained, and finished with
top dressing of crushed rock.
The doctor was assured by members
of the board that it was the latter's
purpose to do as much permanent road
building this year as possible.
Supervisor Morrison said he wanted
to see one piece of thoroughly good road
built on the system recommended by
the State Board of Highways He
moved that the County Surveyor visit
Elk Grove, survey the road asked for,
and prepare an estimate of the cost,
under the Bureau of Highways plans,
and report to the board at it's next
and a contract let as early as possible
for the work.
The motion was carried unanimously.
John Mcfarland of Gait remarked
that the proposed Gait macadam road
should be carried mile further so as
to cover the worst piece of road in the
county.
Il beg to differ with Mr.. Mcfarland"
said Mr.. Morrison. The worst piece OF
road in this county is the stretch from
McConnell's station to Hicksville, and L
want to see that made fit for travel as
soon as possible
That's right" remarked Chairman
Jenkins, that Costumes bottom road is
the worst in the county, and it has got
to be raised and made good and solid"
A petition was received from residents
and taxpayers of Perkins and vicinity
for the construction of q foot-path six
feet in width, along the south side of
the Jackson road, from Brighton juno
ton to Perkins. The petitioners ven
tured the opinion that the expense
would not exceed 500.
This matter was laid over for consid-
Grafton.
Further time was granted the COM
mittee appointed to inspect and report
on the work done on the levee road near
the Flint ranch
Petitions came in asking the board
to purchase for the county the road
constructed by the Orangevale Com
pany between that place and Folsom.

Infancy and Childhood.

The habit of drinking daily a guam
tity of water is one that is valuable in
many ways. It's Importance is sell
dom sufficiently emphasized 1t is not
enough that the child should take an
occasional glass of water, or that the
babe should be given a spoonful as a
rarity. But the habit of water drink
ing is essential to the we'll being OF
every child. Most children will occa-
sionally ask for water at meals. or will
take a swallow Of ice water when they
see others drinking, or will enjoy water
with lemon or fruit, or jelly or sugar,
or favored with tea or coffee: but
water pure and simple it seldom occurs
to child to demand, or to a mother
to offer, although CT all foods this one
is the most important, and no other
contributes so directly to the health
and growth of the child. The tiniest
baby should be given a teaspoonful of
water many times during the day; and
il at night it takes water from nurS-
ing bottle it will require during several
hours no other nourshment. A child
two years old may with advantage
drink at least a pint of water every
twenty-four hours, and child from
three to four years old will not infre-
quently consume d quart of water in
the same time.
All water fed to a child should have
been boiled, and must be kept in a
bottle or carafe that can be closely
stoppered. 1t should neither be warmed
nor cooled, but should be given to the
child at ordinary temperature as it
stands in the living room. 1t should
always stand within sight Of the infant,
and within reach of an older child.
Where it is necessary to go down
stairs or into another part of the house
in order TO obtain drink for the child
it usually has no drink at all except at
such times as its thirst becomes in
tense 1t is not necessary or advisable
TO give water to a child during meals,
but at other times ii may safely be al
lowed to drink as often and as much
as it will. 1t may even be encouraged
to increase the amount, If the water
that is used has first been boiled and
is Of the proper temperature. We can
not, of course, force a child to drink,
nor is it pleasant to overurge such
necessary operation. But by having
water always at hand we may make
drinking easy, and by providing
pretty cup, or making some merry play,
we can go farther and make the drink
ing of plain water really attractive un-
til the habit is firmly fixed, when it
will regulate Itself -Harper's Bazar.

q CRIPPLE CURED.
The Chicago "1ir1es- Herald" Correspondent
at Knoxville Meets an Old Friend.
From the Tfmes-He-dld, Chicago, III.

At the Normal Institute at Knoxville, Iowa,
on August 9th, the Knoxville correspondent
of the Chicago Times Herald was much sur
priSed to meet his old friend, Mr.. A. T. Conn,
whom he believed TO be a lifelong cripple
from rheumatism and sciatica moving around
as brisk us anybody. AS the last time MIR.
Conn had been seen by the Times Herald man
he was on crutehes, and in a terrible condition,
the subject of his recovery was the topic of
conversation. The following is q resume of
Mr.. Conn's story:
you are aware that from overwork and
exposure in April, 1894, | contracted sciatica
and rheumatism, and grew steadily worse,
Notwithstanding the best of medical treatment
that the neighborhood afforded. until | was
ut last confined To my bed, and what little
locomotion | performed was done on crutches.
From the time | was taken until August
1895, | tried every remedy | could hear of
without any relief whatever. It was at that
time that friend recommended DR.. Williams
Pink Pills, and was so enthusiastic over their
virtues that was persuaded 10 try them, and
began TO take them in September, 1895. / was
rather discouraged at first to find myself de-
,idedly worse, but was urged by my friends
70 persevere end give the medicine fair trial
and SO | did. After a while | began 10 feel an
improvement, though it was not noticeable to
those around me, but knew | was better, and
soon was so elated that / foolishiy discarded
my crutches, and received a severe fall for my
pains. This retarded my recovery that
became disheartened, and gave up taking
Pink Pills. so great was my disbursement.

The official correspondence laid be-
fore the Senate by the President on
Monday proves the New York Her
AIDS correspondent to have been cor
rect in his report when he wired that
General Lee had asked our Government
to send ships of war to Havana. or
ships at hand, and would it send them
to support his protest? Also, that Gen
eral Lee did indicate his desire to re-
sign if he was not sustained in his pro-
test in the case of Scott, the Consul
General, saying that he could not
stand another Ruiz murder" and that
if he was not sustained in his protests
he must depart" Yet the State De-
partment and its defenders denied that
these things were true, and insisted
that no request for ships to be sent to
Havana had been made by our Con-
sul-General, nor had he threatened to
resign. OF course there may have been
reasons operating upon Secretary Oh
ney's mind that led him to believe it
indiscreet and not for the good of the
service to make known the communca-
tions of General Lee. But as yet these
reasons have not been disclosed. nor
can the liveliest imagination conjure
them up

Joseph n Harrison administrator
ETC., appellant; Sutter Street Railway
Company, respondents. Damages for
fatal injuries. Order granting new
trial affirmed
The granting of a new trial is a thing
resting SO largely upon the discretion
of the trial court that it's action in
that regard will not be disturbed except
upon the disclosure of a manifest and
unmistakable abuse. Such discretion
is not right to an exertiOn of the
mere personal or arbitrary will of the
Judge, but is a power governed by fixed
rules of law, and to be reasonably eX-
ercised within those rules, to tie ac-
complishment Of justice. SO long as a
case made presents an instance show
ing a reasonable or even fairly debata-
bic justification, under the law, for the
action taken such action win not be
set aside on appeal, even if, as a ques-
ton of first impression the appellate
court might feel inclined to take a
different view from that of the court
below as to the propriety of its ac-
ton. More especially Is tillS true
where the question rests largely in
fact and involves the proper deduction
to be drawn from the evidence.
Granting a new trial for the miscon-
duct of the jury, such as may be shown
by affidavit is something wholly diff
ferent and apart from the right which
the statute gives to grant such relief
on the ground of excessive damages.
An excessive verdict implies no mis-
conduct OF the jury necessarily, but
simply that the result has been induced
through excited feelings or prejudice,
of which the jury may not, perhaps,
have been aware, but which has, new
ertheless, precluded an impartial con-
sideration of the evidence.
A jury. If excited by prejudice, might
as readily award unjust damages where
the evidence was uncontradicted, as
where it was in sharp conflict.
Evidence that the defendant party
was acting in violation or neglect of
statute or ordinance regulating the
mode of conducting vehicles is always
admissible in a damage case, as tend
