POLLUTING HEADWATERS.

The Weekly SHASTA Courier" enters
a strong protest against pollution of the
headwaters Of the Sacramento River
by turning the sewage of Shasta Re
treat and other camps into the spark
ling, pellucid and refreshing waters Of
the upper Sacramento 1t says that
several sewers and conduits are about
ready to spew filth into the stream
whose waters at such points have
been for ages as pure and clear as
crystal.
1t demands that State authorities
look up the law and ascertain whether
the stream cannot be preserved from
the impending contamination.
The appeal of the Courier is che
that ought to be needed. Surely other
means of disposing of sewage from
these camps can be devised than enc
which turns the filthy matter into the
sources of the chief river of the State.
Besides the law of the case, there is
the sentiment involved. These dasEing,
flashing and beautiful waters are chief
among the charms of the picturesque
region. To soil them with sewage filth
is next door to sacrilege.

Two Stories Of DR.. BedIoe.

Dr. Edward Bedloe of Philadelphia,
United States Consul to Canton, is on
his way home for visit. He will
probably pass through Paris in time to
pay his respects to General Harrison,
who sent him as Consul to Annoy,
China, in 1889. If the two statesmen
meet, probably the doctor will recall the
Generals clever rebuke to him during
his vacation when he was in office.
The doctor was spending a month or
two in Washington, and was largely in
evidence in social and political circles.
About this time the Gridiron Club gave
dinner, and both gentlemen were
guests. The doctor told few stories
early in the evening, and later on the
President made speech
Il was charmed" he said in his soft,
graceful way. ito hear the clever anec-
dotes from our distinguished Consul to
4 mean from, Annoy" Then he passed
on to other topics, but the doctor took
the hint and the next steamer carried
him back to his post.
1t was not the first time that DR..
Bedloe had experience with Presidents
at club dinners. Once President Cleye-
land was a guest at the celebrated
Glover Club in Philadelphia, of which
the doctor is famous wit. The Clover
ties always interrupt their guests when
they rise to speak. Knowing this, Mr..
Cleveland began:
go on gentlemen; am prepared for
the worst
There came an instant's pause, and
the doctor cackled shrilly:
$50 are e."-Philadelphia Post.

at the previous election largely re-
jected federation, the significance OF
the change is found in the growth OF
the democratic spirit. 1t means that
the belief obtains that by confedera-
ton there will be greater solidity ana
more influence exerted upon the moth
err country. In the end this will Gull
inmate in a demand for complete sew
erance from England, and it will sure
ly come. 1t will not be in the early
future, of course, but the drift toward
an Australian United States is unques-
tionable. Sturdy Englishmen deny
this. They claim that tradition ana
pride and the advantages of prestige
will keep the colonies attached to the
home country. But as generations
come on there is less and less of the
home feeling and of home pride. There
are now two adult generations in Aus
tralasia, which know nothing of the
mother country except by tradition
and hearsay. Their children will be
still more removed from the home at
tachment. The ties will relax nat
urally, and the expanding spirit of
independence will PROFOUND the ques-
ton: why should we not stand alone
and take our place in the family OF
nations?" That inquiry will be an
swered by a declaration of independ-
ence as certainly as the years roll on.
The conviction in these colonies that
a number of insular and small SOW
ereignties are impracticable, where
union of all under federation is
without obstacle, will lead irresistibly
to the later judgment that a fedora
ton of such communities should stand
together as units of an independent
State, free from all control of a Power
at arms length.

THE MASSES HERE AND IN
EUROPE.

1t is a we1l known fact that multi
plicity of strikes do not betoken hard
times. The statistical fact is that
more strikes are brought on in pros
porous than in dull times, and for the
best of reasons. When labor is plen-
tiful and in demand, money plenty and
employment general, the wage Garner
finds the best opportunity to push his
claims for higher wages and shorter
hours. When labor is over plentiful,
employment not general and money and
investment slow. wage earners find it
least to their interest to risk strikes
because SO many stand ready to take
vacant places at low wages and long
hours and because capital is then most
ready to take fight.
Which subject recalls the remark
made the other day by church dig
nitary recently returned from a tour Of
Europe. He declared that what most
impressed him while abroad, was the
great difference between the wage
World. The conditions here are so
much better, wages higher, the labor
less oppressive, the independence great
er, the privileges broader-and in short
the whole line of conditions are so far
ahead of those in Europe relating to
labor and it's rewards, that the most
superficial observer and inquirer who
travels abroad. cannot fail to be i'm
pressed by the facts.
The Archbishop declares that our
wage earners are a hundred per cent.
more intelligent, happy and better con-
ditioned than the workers of Europe.
promising and beneficent. The masses
Of the American republic, says the pre-
late, are hundred fold better off than
the masses in the Old World.
But that is a fact that did not need
the testimony of the church dignitary
to emphasize. If no American had
ever taken observations in Europe we
would know it. We know it by the
evidence borne by the immigrants who
come to us; by the social conditions re-
Elected in the system of government in
Europe contrasted with ours; by the
condition of trade between this coun-
try and foreign States, and by other
evidences that are undeniable and to
be read by every one who runs with
the times. has an ear to hear, an eye

Pestiferous Higher Criticism.

story which DR.. Newman Hall used to
tell on the lecture platform. An Hitter
