Too much government oversight
and regulation is as disastrous tc
business enterprise +, as too little.
The Sacramento solons are disposed
to push the business to the extreme.
Senator Ralston was bold enough tc
tell them the other day that if a Ger,
tain bill in relation to the RESPONSE
bility of employers was passed in the
form contemplated, it would be apt
to kill the great mining industry OF
the state. A state mining bureau
is main tanned at great expense for
the purpose of aiding this great To-
dustry, and then laws are proposed
which if passed, would certainly
tend to hamper those who invest
their capital in mining enterprises.

Sacramento trustees are consider
ing the propriety of passing an
ordinance making it crime to en-
gage in boycotting. The necessity
of such a law has been accentuated by
the events incident to the cooks and
walters strike now on in that city.
The spectacle is presented daily of
the pickets of the strikers parading
in front of the principal hotels and
restaurants endeavoring to persuade
would-be patrons not to patronize
the houses that refuse to accede to
the strikers demands. Such actions
would not be tolerated for five
minutes in any other civilized COM
munity. But in free America it is
not only tolerated and winked at,
but it is proposed to make it lawful
by express enactment. But what
ever the law-making body may do,
boycotting and picketting and other
forms of intimidation can never be
made otherwise than odious to all
right thinking men.

CONSTABLE'S FEES.

A correspondent in last weeks
Ledger called attention to the in
adequacy of the remuneration of
conStables. 1t has been found i'm
possible in township four to find any
competent man to accept the Office.
The man who was elected declined
to serve, and the retiring constable
refuses to remain in Office because
he cannot make a living out of it.
For populous and compact town
ship like the one in question, this
shows that there is something radi-
cally wrong in the laws governing
the fees of this Office. Amador
county is not alone in this expert
ence. They are having quite time
in Sacramento over the same ques-
tion. There the constables have
been charging So per day for at
tendance upon the court, under the
old-time schedule. This fee, how
ever, has been dropped out of the
present law, and the charge on this
score is therefore branded as illegal
With this knocked out, the con-
stables there threaten to resign. In
Amador county, no charge has been
made of late years for per diem of
So for waiting upon court. Every
time the constable's presence is re-
quired in the court room, he was
formerly entitled to this per diem.
1t was material item in his COM
pensation. The Topping off of this
allowance has reduced the Office to
its present go-begging condition. In
this cutting down process, we see
the same policy that has succeeded
in reducing the fee system in the
superior court to the existing ab-
surdly low schedule, and no doubt
the controlling motive has been the
same in both cases; namely, to re-
duce the cost of litigation as far as
the parties to the suit are concern
ed. In other words to make the
way easy to get into law, by throw
ing the burden of expense upon the
public treasury. AS the county Of
ficers are paid a fixed salary, this
process was easy of accomplishment
in the superior court fees, without
entailing any hardship upon the Of
fcials. But constables have had to
depend entirely upon fees, and so it
happened that when the onslaught
upon the fee system in Justices
courts was made with the object of
cheapening civil suits, the fees in
criminal cases were Topped off at the
same time. Both had to go to-
gether. Constables must attend
upon court for 81 per day, both in
criminal and civil cases. What
ridiculous state of affairs. The
anomaly is the subject of much COM
ment in other counties, and no
doubt something will be done by the
present legislature to remedy it.

DOESN'T WANT HIS SALARY
RAISED.
Mountain Democrat. !

Senator Diggs, of Yuba, is in re-
ceipt of letter from Judge K. S.
Mahon of Sutter, in which the letter
says that the bill now before the
senate raising the salaries of judges
of the superior court is ill-advised
as far as Sutter county is concerned.
Judge Mahon receives what he be-
lieves to be ample at the present time.
Senator Diggs will seek to have
the bill amended as Judge Mahon
suggests.
1t is now up to other superior
court judges to follow Judge Mahon s
example.-Evening Post.
Judge Mahon may be alone in the
stand he has taken, so far as SUI
perior judges are concerned, but
among the masses of the people who
pay the salaries, he has a world of
company.

The appropriation for the ice
plant at the Preston School has
passed the senate, and McKenney
has had it substituted on the files
for the assembly bills, so it will soon
be on its way to the governor. Nc
Kenney's bill to forbid officers and
employers and state officers having
their clothes made at state institu-
tions is only five numbers down on
the second reading file, and should
pass this week.
The employees of the various state
hospitals or insane asylums, has
gotten a bill favorably reported
raising their salaries in some
instances to 5000 a year, and in
others to $500. This gives them
nearly double their present wages.
The measure seems likely to pass.

A law should be passed in congress

A law should be passed in congress
changing the time of the expiration
of mining locations, where annual
labor has not been done, from mid
night on the first of January to IL
o'clock M of the same day. AS the
law now stands if the night be dark,
and the ground rough, a half dozen
locations may be made on the same
ground by different parties, each
without knowing of the presence Of
the other. When the ground is
valuable this invariably leads tc
prolonged and expensive litigation,
much of which could be avoided if the
law provided for the relocation of the
ground in broad daylight. Copper

DeWitt's Little Early Risers do not

cure bilousness, iaundice, constipation
and inactive livers, by arousing the Sec
retions, moving the bowels gently, yet
effecually, and giving such tone and
strength to the stomach, liver and
bowels that the cause of the trouble is
removed entirely. These famous little
pills exert a decided tonic effect upon
the organs involved, and if their use is
counted for few days there win be NO

TO PREVENT wARMING.

With a colony which Is provided
with an extracting super, even the
primary swarm can often be prevented.
When the colony shows signs Of be-
coming too populous, it should be ex-
amined and if the brood combs are
well filed with brood two or three
frames containing sealed brood should
be removed to the super and their
places filed with empty combs. IT
there is drone brood in the brood
combs it should be removed be-
fore it is placed above. The perforated
zinc mat between the hive and super
will not permit the drones to pass
through, hence the reason for destroy
ing the drone brood.
Such an arrangement will give the
queen plenty Of room in which to de-
posit her eggs and the worker bees
will continue to store honey and to
care for their brood in the super above.
AS soon as this brood has hatched, the
operation of exchanging frames should
be repeated, not only once but again
and again. until the press Of brood
rearing is over This plan is equally
as successful as extracting the honey
from the frames of the hive proper.
The colony is not weakened by having
more or less of its unsealed brood de-
stroyed. The bees are not distressed
or excited, and there is no danger OF
robbing them of needed stores in case
of a sudden dearth of honey.-Millie
Honoker, in American Agriculturist.

What the Lips Show.

The upper lip should be bow shaped,
while the lower should form the arc
of a circle, and to be ideally beauti-
full the lower lip should show more
red than the upper. The lips should
be moderately full.
Thick lips show sensuous tempera.
ment; thin lips, exhibiting little or nc
color, while indicating frmness and
will power, are also indicative of a
lack of amiability, and: according to
other Indications in the face, may
show meanness, if not avarice. Firm
ly closed lips indicate determination;
open lips, weakness and vacluation.
The open mouth is characteristic of
idiots, says Woman's Life.
The upper lip should have slight
curve inward before its union with
the nose, for the straight lip indicates
it's owner to be unamiable and unin-
telligent. Much depends on the length
of the upper lip. The distance from
it to the nose should be one-half the
breadth of the mouth. A short upper
lip indicates liveliness, wit, fertility of
invention, brilliancy Of repartee. A
long upper lip is generally indicative
Of stupidity.

GOOD MICH COWS.

Good milc1 cows are quite source
Of profit on the farm. And no matter
how good the breed, unless COWS have
proper food and suf1iciency Of fresh
water daily, they cannot produce a
great quantity of milk All cow own
ers should study these questions If
they wish to get the best results. Grass
is one Of the most important crops.
Red clover is the favorite crop. Next
to grass Is corn fodder. Carrots, beets,
peas, and apples are all good. Every
farmer should grow carrots and beets;
they are far the best milk-producing
vegetables. Grow and feed yellow car
rots to improve the color of the butter.
The quantity required for a cow can
only be determined by trial. See to it
that the COWS are in perfectly good
health, which will enable them to re.
ceive full benefit from their feed, give
perfect digestion, and produce more
milk and butter. Water is necessity
to COWS, and it should be pure, cool,
and always within their reach. Water
before feeding and let the heaviest
feed be at night. Salt is another neces,
sity, and about an ounce and half
should be mixed VITA their food daily.
Always clean the teats with.a dry cloth
before milking. Milk rapidly with dry
hands and be sure tie udder is emp
tied. Never scold or hit the cow. Talk
gently to her and she will repay by
giving more milk. Have perfect Ven
tilation, drainage and every thing
neat and clean in the stable or the
milk will become tainted. Impure milk
Is caused by carelessness or diseased
COWS. Careful selection, good breed
Ing, proper stabling, common sense in
feeding and watering, will produce the
best returns for the time and labor ex.

RAISING BEANS.

The easiest way I ever raised beans
was on sod A clover sod is best, II you
have one, although any other kind OF
sod will do if free from weeds; but low
meadows must not be chosen, as beans
require high, dry land to make a good
crop. After danger Of frost is over
break it up quite deep, from five to six
inches, go over it lengtHwise with a

going crosswise as this would turn up

high winds as large growing varieties
would. Drill seed in with corn plant.

Her Last Breath.

I heard story the other. day which
Is probably as:old as the hills, though
never had, the luck5to hear it before.
1t was Of a somewhat lengthy railway
journey in very warm weather. An
elderly lady, seated in one corner OF
the carriage, was provided with an
India-rubber cushion for her greater
comfort, but unfortunately, owing to
the heat and continued pressure: the
cushion suddenly exploded. The old
lady was in despair, even to tears,
over the misfortune to the windbag,
and again and again reverted to her
misfortune. "Tuts, woman" said 9
commercial traveller in another corner
of the carriage. 'It's not worth max
ing a fuss about. You will get It re-
paired in town for about eighteen
pence" "It's mo- that I'm vexed aboot
its no the price. That's easy sort
ed. But the last time that bag was
blawn up it wis by Aunty Jean, a.
maist wi her very last breath, az
that Gamma be restored!"-Glasgow
