AN OLD SUBJECT.

Dr. c. NJ. Hyde recently discussed in
ance question. In one sense it is stale,
in another, and the best sense it is one
of the most important that is before
men For neither national prosperity,
nor expansion Will compensate for the
infinite evils and suffering that arise
from intemperance.
But the temperance, and the total
abstinence, and the prohibition men
will be gradually driven to consider
the subject from an entirely new
standpoint.
1t is quite enough TO put these per-
sons on their inquiry after new meth
DDS, by referring to the recent wall
of the Maine Prohibitionists, who have
solemnIy declared that after keeping
I'D a legal wall of prohibition around
the State of Maine for fifty years, the
plan has substantially failed, although
it has no doubt, done some good.
The day of talk" should close. The
evils OF intemperance cannot be
preached out of existence. The litera-
ture on the subject is stale. The
masses of men do not read it. A crank
asked the editor of the n. Y. Times to
print the ten commandments every day
at the head of his editorial columns.
NO" he replied, "but I will always
publish the account of any plan that
effectively removes the suffering and
pain of mankind
The temperance question is still in
the clouds. 1t has not been brought
down to the earth and will not be until
it is tackled as social and PATHOLOGY
cal problem. Intemperance is largely
the result of social conditions. The
children in Germany and France drink
beer and wine, and they are not drunk
ards. Wherever one finds unnatural,
strained, unjust social conditions
there is found intemperance also.
Goodwin Smith gets close to the
heart OF the subject when he says "a

CONTEMPT OF COURT.

The tempers OF lawyers are like
those Of horses. Some are mild and
serene. Some are wild and restless,
and can be held only with a strong bit
and tight rein. And there are ether
lawyers who are like vicious horses,
who kick over the traces, lay their ears
back and nip at their masters. The
judges are the drivers appointed TO
hold the reins over these legal trotters,
and guide them TO the goal Of justice.
But the great majority Of the legal
trotters don't wish TO be driven TO the
goal Of justice, but to the goal Of VIC
tory, which is, in one-half the cases,
in an entirely different direction. The
result is that they crowd each other
off the highway and into the bitches.
In these struggiings with each other,
the judges pull the reinS or check
them up, and then they let their heels
fly into the air, or try to get the bits
out of their mouths. The patience OF
the driver on the Bench is sorely test
ed For if he loses his temper, and
becomes a ridiculous affair
Counsel have the usual infirmity of
men, in the faith that the cause which
each one advocates is the right one,
and the cause which his opponent ad-
vocates is the wrong one. Admirable
and honest zeal for the client creates
this fault. But it leads to friction in
lawsuits, and resentment of judicial
control
The power to punish for contempt of
Court is absolutely necessary in order
to preserve the dignity and admins
tration of justice. 1t is a power which
judges rarely use, unless contempt is
marked and inexcusable. Frequently
cases of mild or inadvertent contempt
occur, which are overlooked by patient
judges.
But experience shows that if the
judges permit, through kindness, and
Willingness TO overlook infirmitles
the tone of the Bench is lowered, and
the tone of the Bar is lowered anG
the best administration of justice then
falls The weakness of some Judges
permits their court rooms to become
bear gardens by failing to keep tight
rein on the counsel.
The judges must have the power to
punish summarily, because he has the
evidence before him of the Offense, and
requires no testimony about it. The
Judge may be in error, in stating the
law, which provokes the offense OF
contempt The question of his error
can only be reviewed by appeal to
other judges. For if the lawyer on one
side may denounce him for error, the
lawyer on the other side may do so
when he, in turn, is Over-ruled. The
captain of a ship may be in error, but
the crew must not mutiny and take
the command out of his hands.
The Anglo-Saxon communities stand
by the judge. AS justice is the great
standing civil polity of mankind so the
judges are regarded with respect and
fully sustained in protecting the dig
nifty of their courts.

cold home, the friend of the saloon
Men who live in warm houses, with
abundance of room, and with comforts
at hand, do not understand the i'm
polling force TO drink, in a cold home,
with a single room packed with crying
children and a worn out wife. Instead
of theOrizing on the subject the earn
est, honest and devoted advocates of
temperance or total abstinence should
get at the facts. The majority of
young men, earning little at first, are
forced to accept uninViting rooms, or
cold homes When they step out Of
them in search of comfortable places
the saloon, with a shrewd knowledge
OF the human instincts invites them TO
a comfortable place. Here, in these
it's ways, is the best applied Christian
ity, steps forward, and beckons them
from the saloon and many there be
that follow it's kindly light.
Foolish and extravagant women
drive men to the saloon. Men strug-
Cling against adverse circumstances,
the creation Of unnatural social condi-
lions, go TO drink. The clubs of the
great cities are filled every day with
professional and business men whose
brains are overtaxed, and find Temporal
ry relief in the stimulating effects of
alcohol. And besides these, is the vast
army of workingmen who have no
hope and find relief from the mono
tony of toll in drink.
When the younger Vanderbilt cree
ted a great building for the comfort
and use of the railway train men, he
did more for the cause of temperance,
than if he had distributed many mil
lions of tracts on total abstinence. So
the railway officials say. He altered
the social conditions of the men, and
gave them hope and decent surround
ings.
When reformation is discussed on
these lines, instead of merely denounc-
| ing the evil, the world will see the real
| methods of meeting it, and will act
on it.

RIVER VERY LOW.
Less Water Than Ever at This Time
of the Year

Comparatively speaking, there is very
little water in the river, and yesterday
the official gauge at the foot of K
street showed only eight feet. While
no official record is kept Of the mark
ings, the oldest river men cannot recall
a July when the water was anything
near as low as at the present time,
and several who ought to know, said
to "Record-Union' reporter that they
had never at any time seen the water
below the eight-foOt mark.
Usually, in July, the gauge shows
from twelve to sixteen feet of water,
and low water mark is not reached be-
fore August 18th. Markings, however,
vary, even in mid summer, and the
washing out of bar or the clearing of
channel down the river may show a
less depth at this city while in reality
navigation has been improved.
Up TO date there has been no serious
difficulty in getting the big boats up
and down the stream, though it is un-
derstood the Modoc has several times
cleaned her keel on the hogs back
and other shoals down the river. If the
water continues to fall in the next
month as it did in the last-nearIy four
feet-there is every probability of diff
Guilty ahead. for four or five feet of
water at this point would hardly float
a ScOw over the shoals.

There is much that gives rise to
thoughtful meditation in the midst of

there are many places where the stu

DEL MONTE'S DREAMLAND.
AN OASIS IN THE SAHARA OF
WORLDLY CARES.
a Woodland Resort Amid visions
of Mellow Sunlight on
Sandy Beaches.

Hotel Del Monte, July 4, 1898.
tense heat is now here, simultaneously
with that era of sunstroke and welter-
ing humidity called summer in the en-
ervating East
1t is fortunate for those who dwell in
the hot valleys of the Pacific Coast that
sunstrokes are unknown, and that the
months of 'long days and straight
rays are characterized by the absence
of sultry atmosphere, and by cool and
refreshing nights.
Californians who cannot give up the
cares of business for a season of recre-
afion are therefore exempt from the
evils that attend the heat of the East.
But there are thousands of people in
the West, and from all parts of the
world, who annually seek the soothing
resorts of California. Many recreation
hunters visit the great hotel ON Mon
terey Bay throughout the year, for
the most practical business man as we'll
as the lover of nature in her poetic
moods. There is much to admire in the
mingled variety of scenic effects and in
the strange combination of coast and
mountain attractions that give Del
Monte its distinctive charm.
In the vital points that constitute a
satisfactory resort, Del Monte ranks
with the best i'm the world. Aside from
the fact that it is favored by nature
with wealth of forests and an abund-
ance of marine views, man has beauti-
fled the grounds with the skill of arch
itecture and the delightful visions of
artistic landscape gardening 1t is a
resting place, where the climate is
equable and inviting at all seasons, and
where health and comfort of body and
mind are promoted by the surround
ings. Throughout the grounds one be-
holds natural advantages perfected by
the skill of man. While the spirit Of
original solitudes is here and there pre-
served, with the effect of perpetual
morning in their midst, many scenes
have been altered just enough to serve
the purposes of use and beauty with
out marring the integrity of nature.
