be no great prosperity in n house

A NOTABLE COUNCIL MEETING.

Tho city Council meeting on Mon
day night was notable gathering.
In the first place Mr.. George Sheets
was appointed special detective. That
is an event IN the history of the Ameri-
can party rule. The public must be
prepared for his appointment as chief
OF police at a nearby date. In no other
way can the party reward him ade-
quntely for the persecution" he suf
fered at the hands OF the McWhirter
brothers.
In the second place the Council re-
ceived n cordial invitation from DR..
Goshen to come to his church on Sun
day and hear his testimony on the Off
ciaI character of some men In public
positions In as much as Dr. Goshen
has publicly stated that some of them
deserve the contempt in which they are
held by honest citizens, or words to
that effect, the sermon to which they
are invited should be very edifying to
them. It may even do them good, IL
that is possible.
In the third place the Council, after
having confirmed the appointment of
Mr.. Sheets and accepted the invitation
of DR. Goshen to come to the Sin
ners' bench" found itself in a confused
tangle on parliamentary rules, that was
so serious that the bond Issue question
was crowded out and had to be post
poned to n special meeting. And this
was another notable feature of a men,
orable council meeting.
The trouble vas about "a paltry &c.,
9SS.54, which d contractor claims the
city owes him for doing some pump
ing. The Council had allowed tho bill,
but the Mayor had vetoed the action
taken by the Council Hence the con-
fusion.
But there is moral TO the story.
The American party bosses are trying
to induce their tools to defer the pay
ment Of every bill as long as possible,
in the hope of getting the money from
the proposed bond issue to pay the in
debtedness with. AS long as the bills
are not allowed the debt does not show
in the public records. The total in
debtedness is thereby made to appear
smaller than 1t actually liz. and the
true character of the financiering is con-
cealed from tho public. That is the lit
tie scheme. Deception in ever. thing.
to fool the dear public.

SUNDAY CLOSING OF SALOONS.
Sacramento Bee.

The proposed Sunday closing of
saloons in Nevada City has not been
helped by the sermon delivered last
Sunday by Rev. w. A. Rimer, an Epis-
copal pastor OF that place. He argued
that If the saloons were compelled to
close. every sort of business should
he subject to the same requirement, in
order that the Sabbath might consis-
tently be observed. That contention
may be logical enough from the rev
erend gentlemans point of view. But
Sunday closing Of saloons, as disting-
uished from other places OF business,
Is advocated on grounds other than
religious. Thus II is pointed out that
nearly everybody being idle on that
day. there rs more general inclination
TO excessive drinking on sunday than
on other days OF the week. with con-
sequvnt had results to society and in
dustry. There is also much complaint
that on Monday morning many men
are UNIT for good work because Of
too much beer or liquor on the previous
day, and hahitual drunkenness on Sun
day nutoriousy creates disorder and
crowds the jails and the Police Courts.

PLANT TREES AND FLOWERS.

The ornamentation Of school grounds
is receiving today great deal of at
tention. Attractive school surroundings
constitute one of the most effective of
the appeals that can be made to the
child who needs It most--the one whose
own home or usual environment Is a
dismal commentary on the natural de-
sire for adornment and beauty.
Trustees generally pay but little at
tention to this phase of school life; the
duty of making school surroundings
more pleasant win devolve largely up
on the initiative OF the teacher.
As Prof. Northrup said at the State
day. In addition to Arbor day, may
with great profit be devoted by the
entire school TO the planting of trees,
shrubs, and flowers.
When we consider that almost a
third of tho waking hours of the child
and the teacher are spent within the
area reserved for tho public school, We
can appreciate the need OF making
that spot a place of beauty, IL there
Is anything in the accepted theory that
the character of the child may be
profoundly Influenced by the aspect
OF his surroundings.
We like the Professors ideas in rela-
ton TO making use of tho native shrub
berry. Some of 1t Is. as he points out
ornamental in the highest degree, and
is said to be of the easiest culture
This is particularly true of the red

position. by which the house is rendered
subordinate to its onamentation.
It lis really better TO work on your
own garden than to hire some one to do
Il for you 1t is better that tho school
children should make the grounds beau
tiful than that the trustees should do
81 for them OF course the trustees
should buy the necessary seeds. trees,
and fertilizers; and should attend 10
tho irrigation during the summer. Pros
gressive members of the school boards
should devote more attention t. this
phase Of their duty. Trees, shrubs
and flowers about tho school house are
a necessity rather tlan luxury AT this
day. Beautify both the home and the
school with natures chief means OF

TO ACHIEVE PEACE.

William Lloyd Garrison takes excep-
ton to recent pronunciameuto by
Mrs. Baker c. Eddy. TO the effect that
IN her opinion, the armament OF navies
Is present necessity to preserve peace
among nations. Since Mrs. Oddly be-
reminds ono, Mr.. Garrison says, Of An
atole Frances description of a French
writer. that he adored Jesus as God
but. as a man, he preferred Hannibal"
The gentleman Is rather severe in
his criticism He says, in n letter to
the New York Evening Post:
"How Christian Science. whose pro-
fessed weapons ara gentleness and love,
can for a moment Justify the devillsh
science of naval armanents, whose
mission Is one OF brutality and hate.
is beyond the common mind As Well

carrying arms assures the peace of the
community; that glog-shops are tenn

themselves evil are essential for good,
At a time when even believers in force

tary and naval craze. when injustice

stroys human life aud coriupts the

Although we are I'm full sympathy
with the efforts that ARE being made in
the interest OF peace, we doubt the logic
and wisdom OF that criticism The
stern fact that fares us whether we nre
devotces Of Mars or peace advocates,
Is this that nations arc still depending

A NEEDED REFORM.

Mayor Bransford. In a san Francis

pressed his determination to do some
thing to regulate the social evil In
the Interview he admits that the con-
ditfons In this city, Notwithstanding

promises of reform, are worse than

Is severe criticism of the party. But

But the Mayor says he is determined

that the red light district should he re-

center and confined to some part OF the
City where 1t can be controlled per-
eeetly. We hope this plan can be ex-
eeuted. We have always contended
that 1t is a disgrace to the city to have
its business center polluted In the way
1t Is done here The brothels ought to
be removed and the saloons with them

The Mayor says It is u very serious
problem to make the change, and so 1t
is, az long az the political influence of
the institutions referred to must be
counted on. But the man OF the hour
should sever his connection with the
party bosses and serve the people
alone. And he would find In the sup |
port of the people ample reward for
his faithfuluess in the service.
