big creatures are harmless, and
rarely, If ever, leave their abodes.
Judging from the noise over my

hear them whacking around about
once a week in their chase after

MOTION TO SET ASIDE.
Reclamation District No. 551
Wants the Judgment Due It.

Defendant Reclamation District No
551 in the suit of P. j. Van Loben Sells
against c. Bunnell Germania Building
and Loan Association, Reclamation Dis
trict No. sol and Edward Bunnell, has
made a motion in the Superior Court
to set aside the sale of property in
volved in the suit.
The complaint states that the property
which was sold by the Sheriff for
81 ,249.65 was worth 81 900 and was not
sold for a sum sufficient to satisfy the
judgment; that the judgment did not
specify any particular kind of money
for which it should be sold, but that
the Sheriff advertised it for sale for
gold coin Of the United States; that the
sale did not take place at the hour
named, but an hour later and that
meantime q number of persons went
home and did not bid on the property;
that the Sheriff's notice said the sale
would be made to satisfy a judgment
in favor of P. ]. Van Loben Sells for
$3.50 and $50 attorneys fees and
did not specify that the sale would be
to satisfy judgment in favor of de-
PENDANT; that the order for sale was
ton to make such decree, and that the
Sheriff did not pay the proceeds of the
sale to defendant as provided in the
judgment, but credited it on the de-
mand of plaintiff.

THE DEAF CHILD BILL.

The bill Is. B. 134) providing for day
schools for deaf children, and children
defective in hearing in all school dis
tricts. at a cost of $3.50 a head for
such children's instruction in special
schools for at least nine months in the
year should be defeated. There has
not been that inquiry upon the SUBJ
ject which we advised as long ago as
February 9th should be made. into the
experience of other States with these
detectives before any action is taken
here.
The bill has gone far upon its way
to becoming a law, but 1t should not
become one. 1t is absurd, in this State,
with our conditions, to attempt to es-
tablish deaf and dumb asylum in
every, or any considerable number Of
school districts in the State. Moreover,
the bill involves cost as yet wholly
problematical for such instruction is Of
the costliest order, a cost upon which
no calculation can now be made under
the bill; but we may be sure that it
will be very great and equally sure that
it will breed abuse
1t is not likely, nay it Is improbable,
that teachers of the requisite training
for such work can be had in this State,
or in sufficient number for the work.
There has been no strong or any very
perceptible demand for the establish
ment of such schools. The State asy-
lum at Berkeley is as yet fully equal
to answering the call of the unfortu-
mates who are deaf or dumb or both.
and it is as proper and reasonable to
send unfortunate children there to
be trained by its splendid and full corps
of teachers and made self helpful and
self-supporting as to send orphans to
orphan asylums. No one thinks of es-
tablishing the latter institutions in every
school district in the State.
The demand that this new proposition
may make upon the school fund is
dangerous one Before we launch upon
such an undertaking let us know more
about the subject, and be more CONVEX
SAINT with the conditions and the need
for such a law, if indeed it is needed
at all, and we are convinced it is not
demanded or necessary

the information it contains should be
utilized, carefully avoiding any of its
deductions which may be shown to be
wrong or unreliable. There are prob
ably fifty kinds of voting machines on
the market, of which few are emil
nently practicabIe--a fact which has
been conclusively demonstrated by their
official use in other States. It should
be, then, a simple and an inexpensive
matter to ascertain what machine is
capable of performing the work for
which it is intended.
That the introduction of voting ma
chimes would greatly lessen the expense
of elections, reduce the chances OF error
to a minimum, and save much time
both in voting and in counting, is a TACT
that has been thoroughly established.
California has the name OF being one
of the most progressive States In the
Union, and it cannot afford to lag be-
hind in respect of this immense I'M
provement. Convenience, economy and
correctness will all be promoted by the
adoption of some perfect voting ma
chine for general use at every election,
and the people expect their representa-
tives at Sacramento to take such steps
as to make this desfrable innovation not
only possible but certain. What is the
Legislature going to do about it?
FINALLY ADJUSTED.
Stockton Independent: So it seems
the debt from the Central Pacific to the
United States Government has been ad-
justed by the Cabinet commission, pro-
vided for by the last session of Con-
gress, and this was what called all the
Southern Pacific magnates East. 1t is
hoped that this adjustment will pre-
vent the horde of agitators holding a
place in public confidence by trying to
arouse prejudice against the railroad,
or to keep the question alive in Con-
gress and in politics.
NOT STRONGER.
