The City Trustees, in a wise and most commendable spirit, passed an ordinance providing for the suppression of what are commonly known as " dives." The entire community, excepting only the keepers of these disreputable places, favored the policy. These holes are of positive injury to the city and prolific sources of crime, and consequently of heavy cost to the city. The ordinance may have been defective in some particulars, but in no way beyond remedy. But the City Attorney, being appealed to as to the power of the munici pality to act as contemplated by the ordi nance, renders an opinion that so long as the county licenses these places the city is powerless to suppress them, and adds that the license issued by the County Super visors must be regarded as superior. Such a position, with all due respect for the legal knowledge of the City Attorney, we pronounce absurd. If the decision is law, then the city might as well abandon its municipal organization. The very pur pose of the creation of the city was to make its authority supreme within mu nicipal bounds, where it is not in conflict with general laws or in excess of the powers granted by the charter. The ques tion was settled years ago by the Supreme Court, Justice Sanderson delivering the opinion, in the case of ex-parte Annie Smith, wherein he affirmed the power of the city, within the scope of its granted privileges, to legislate upon all local police matters. In that case the city resolved to regulate dance-houses and saloons where women were employed, and its right to carry out its determination was not only affirmed, but the Court went on at length to show how broad, necessary and wise were the grants of the city charter in that direction. The ordinance stood until the new Constitution came : n with its "woman's rights'' declaration and nullified it. If the Supervisors of the county can negative the •r finances of the city by permits, granting the privilege to do that which the munici pality denies and adjudges to be vicious and detrimental to the best interests of the city, then there is an end to city govern ment. We repeat, the position taken by the city's legal adviser is bad, and not the law. If it is sound, every person who pays a county license of any kind and does business within the city can refuse to pay the city license tax and defy the municipal authorities. This would lead us into all sorts of absurdities, and practically trans fer a large part of the management of the o !Tairs of this city to the people of the ounty, who do not pay one cent of the taxation necessary for the maintenance of municipal government. The simple fact Li that the license fee collected by the county on business transacted within the city is a grant no more than a Federal license, and in the case of the latter the Supreme Court of the United States has decided that it does not confer the right to do business contrary to the local regula tions, and even prohibition by a State. The right thing for the Trustees to do is to go on and enforce its ordinances, and ■Then the right to do so is questioned they will find that the Courts will dismiss the doubts and absurdities of the City Attor ney with a word, and affirm the power of the city to license and to refuse to license. It will be a seriou.-. mistake to accept the attorney's decision, and acknowledge to the Supervisors that the city government is subordinate to their will in these matters. We are confident, however, that the Su pervisors do not and have not made any >;nh claim, and are not desirous of interfering in any way with the rights of the Trustees. AoOOBDOra to the dispatches, a remark able enthusiasm is developing in England for things American. We are told that in the theaters the appearance of the stars ;iml stripes is always, nowadays, the bignal ior hearty applause that often breaks out into cheering. In all the places of public amusement the Hag is displayed, and in <*>me introduced into the plays be cause it pleases the people to seethe ban ner of St. (leorgeand the flag of the I'nion moving side by side. The Ixmdon news papers show a decided tenderness for America on the Samoan question, and the expressions "on "change" and the high way are very complimentary to the I'nited States. It is not surprising; the English speaking people are drawing steadily closer to each other, and the time will come when they will be one in a common purpose and doliny, lmwever distinct they may may remain in their national divisions. Tiik charge of cowardice that General IHitler has preferred against Admiral Por ter will create a great deal of debate among military and naval men. The » ieneral alleges that Porter, then a Cap tain, ran away with his boats from the bat tle before Forts St. Philip and Jackson ) leaving I'utler and his men in an exposed condition, as m then supposed, and that as his mortar flotilla steamed by Captain Porter cried out for the Butler party, on board the headquarters boat Saxon, to run, as the rebels were coming. We now have a flat denial from Admiral Porter, supplemented by the counter charge that (ieneral Butler was in Otjt when he said whht he did, and before a week has passed all the old officers living who were engaged in the battle will be wrestling with the question, "Did Porter run or was Butlt r mistaken ." EDITORIAL NOTE AND COMMENT. The man who fired at the President of France, on Sunday, did the cause of the Republic infinite high service, for the act awakened the latent patriotism of the nation to new love for free institutions. In the New York Voice of May 2d, Gen eral Clinton B. Fisk denounces the state ment that he has left the Prohibition party asm unmitigated falsehood. He is still a ibirf party man and will slay in ihe fidht. The Santa Barbara Daily Independent has entered upon its thirteenth volume. Under the management of G. 1". Tebbetts it has become an excellent paper and deserves the liberal patronage accorded it by the people of Santa Barbara. The Copper trust having failed, the move ment is now on foot to create a beer trust- Now here let the line be drawn. Not to say that there would not still be beer enough in the land, but if it is to be drank, let not the taste of a "combine" enter into it. A railroad is to be built from Jerusalem to Jaffa, on the Mediterranean. How this practical age is taking the edge from ro mauoe and the sacredness from things holy? Just think of the still air of Pales tine being made to vibrate with the shout of modern brakemen : " Passengers for the Valley of Jehoshaphat will take the for ward car!" If it is true that Germany has at tempted to treat with Samoa so as to give the former absolute power to govern Sa moa, as to all foreigners, our own country should consider the request of theSamoans to be placed under the protection of our flag. If, while the Commission is sitting, there is to be a fast and loose game played, America will be justified in taking a hand, and fighting fire with its kind. Mr. Depew's centennial oration does not read so well as one would be led to suppose from his high reputation. He is New York's favorite orator, and a famous speaker ; but we are impressed from read ing his speech on the centennial occasion, that the large part of his fame is due to his splendid oratory and the least to his ca pacity as a writer. Certainly his speech referred to is not of that high order of thought we had expected it to be — but its delivery must have been a masterly effort. The Marysville Apjieal properly con demns the demand that physicians shall write their prescriptions in English. There is every reason supporting the use of a common language for the purpose, in order that all physicians, whatever their tongue, may be able to intelligently address any apothecary, whatever the modern language with which he is uniiliar. Moreover, as our contemporary well says, it is better for patients that they shall not be able easily to repeat the prescriptions given them, ror, in most cases, it would result in self-appli cation of medicines, and, of course, more ill than good would result from such a practice. "The " Undertaker," a bright corre spondent of the Stockton MM, de clares that the old-time "hoodlum" of California has disappeared, and that a miserable, self-destroying, impotent and nerveless being has taken his place— the opium fiend. The correspondent sets up a plea for this wretch ; that is, that he be left severely alone, since he is not capable evi dently of reproducing his kind, has no muscular vigor, cannot commit oflenses in volving strength, such as vicious assaults, and will shortly blot himself out. That may be, but unfortunately, if no check is put upon the spread of the opium habit, it will continue to do as it is now doing, constantly gather in new and a greater number 01 victims, until we will have a class of unfortunate miserables who never were hoodlums, nor specially vicious, but will be hopeless dependents. " SAMUEL BRANNAN DEAD. Sketch of the Life of a Prominent Call- fornla Pioneer. Samuel Brannan, the well-known Cali fornia pioneer, died at Escondido on Sunday evening. He had been ill with inflamma tion of the bowels tor about two weeks. Deceased was well known in Sacramento and throughout California. At one time he was one of the most prominent men in this city, and amassed a fortune here. Samuel Brannan was born in the State of Maine in 1819, and after an eventful career in his youthful days as a journey man printer and publisher, he came to California in 1846. on the ship Brooklyn, arriving on July 31st. Before the discov ery of gold in California he engaged in merchandising at Sutter's Fort iii Sacra mento, and amassed great wealth by reason of his shrewn business capacity, and was for years recognized as the richest man in California. In the early history of San Francisco he always connected* himself prominently with all charitable and worthy objects, and was in the fifties elected Sen ator from San Francisco, immediately re signing on account of important business engagements in Xew York. He was prom inently connected with the Vigilance Com mittee movement in early days, and did much by bis bravery to rid the city of the "Hounds." In 1861 he was one of the Presi dential Electors for the Republican party and during the Rebellion a stanch Re publican, contributing many thousands of dollars from his own pocket for the sani tary fund, and otherwise sustaining the Union cause. Among the prominent pieces of property owned by him in San Francisco was the present site of the Grand Opera House, on MiS3ion street; the location of Murphy, Grant &Co.'s Building, corner of Bush and Sansome streets ; Armory Building, corner of Sacramento and Montgomery streets ; the Express Building, on the corner of Cal ifornia and Montgomery streets, and over one hundred feet in the middle of the block now owned by the estate of Peter Donahue. His ownership extended over many full blocks in other portions of the city, and he had over two hundred acres in the Western Addition, and other outside lands. Mr. Brannan at one time owned al most a quarter of the city of Sacramento, and in 1801 purchased the' Calistuga Springs property, now owned by Lelanrt Stanford, from John Nugent, then editor of the Her ald, and expended fully a half-million of dollars in the beautitication of the place. In 1860 his wife was divorced from him he deeding h»-r the bulk of his property. Business stagnation and financial reverses soon took away what little remained, and he proceeded to the City of Mexico to pro cure the repayment of money loaned the Mexican Government, during the Maximil ian war, Brancan having furnished a suffi cient amount of money and arms to equip a company of Americans who served the Republic faithfully and were known as the "Brannan Contingent." The Govern ment gave him two million acres of land in the Yaqui and Mayo country, with such restrictions upon it that it was impossible to obtain any benefit therefrom. Subse quently the Mexican Government gave him a concession in the State of Sonora, ou condition that he would survey and map the same. This was done at an ex pense of over a hundred thousand dollars, the company organizing for that purpose having taken almost the entire concession for their pay. In the last two years Mr. Brannan has resided in San Diego county, and recently purchased and planted a fine piece of land near Kscondido, where he has laid out an orchard of Smyrna figs. His former wife is living in San Kranciseo, as well as four children. Mr. Brannan, althoueh a de termined and positive man at times, was noted for his generosity and kindness of heart when confronted with a case requir ing sympathy or assistance. THREE WIVES. A Member of Ihe Smith Family Who Should •Jlne" the Mormons. San ]>KRNAKni.No, May tith. — A sensa tional denouement occurred to-day when Mrs. Smith of San Francisco arrived in search of her liege lord, whom she found employed as a driver of a fire engine. She also found him living happily with another Mrs. Smith, who he married two weeks ago, after a courtship of three weeks. She also learned that Smith had instituted proceedings for a divorce from a former wife in Kansas, so that he has three living wives, none of whom he is di vorced from. Mrs. Smith No. 2is not an gry or tracic, and only desires to see him alone for thirty minutes to give him ad vice. No proceedings will be instituted by any of the women. Smith has a mother and sister, very tine ladies, living at Rialto, four miles from here. The poor rrotber is heartbroken, and Wife No. 3 is beside her self with grief. Agony is Courted By persons who, attacked by a miid form of rheumatism, neglect to seek prompt re lief. Subsequent torture is prevented by an immediate resort to Hosteiter's Stomach Bitters. Slight exposure, an occasional draught, will beget this painful malady, where there is a predisposition to it in the blood. It is not difficult to arrest the trouble at the outset, but well nigh iru poamiMa to eradicate it when matured. No evidence in relation to this superb hio.nl depurent is morn positive than that which* estanlislies its * iticacy as a preventive ami remedy for rheumatism. Not only is it thorough, but safe, which the vegetable and mineral poisons, often taken as curatives of tbe disease, are not. Besides expelling the rheumatic virus from the system, it over comes fever and ague, biliousness, consti pation and dyspepsia. Smiles are the higher and better re s|H)nsw of nature to the emotion of the soul. — Wilberfortx. SACKAJI£:NTO DAILY RECORD- US ION, TUESDAY, MAY 7, ISB9. THE STORM KING. PLUTIUS MORE GENEROUS THAN CONSIDERATE. A Renewal of the Storm Yesterday —Damage to Crops-Snow On the Hill. Up to 2 o'clock yesterday morning the sky was clear and the stars shining, and there was no indication of the surprise that was in store for the people who were shortly awakened from their slumbers by the whistling of the wind and the heavy downpour of rain. The barometer was reported rising on the preceding evening, and people retired for the night to dream of a bright and sunny day on the morrow. But the Storm King was stirred from his lair, and arousing himself proceeded to open up his batteries anew on a defenseless people. Hour after hour the rain de scended and the cold southeast wind blew almost a gale. It was a May storm long to be remem bered, especially by the farmers and or cbardists, whose crops have suffered se verely. People who have come into town from various parts of the county report the grain, crops as having been laid as flat on the ground as if passed over by heavy rollers. The grain was high and heavy and readily yielded to the combined influ ences of the wind and rain. In the city fruit was beaten from the trees by wholesale, and the fear is ex pressed that untold damage has been done among the orchards in the country. Shade trees were prostrated in many parts of the city, and at the Marguerite Home, at Seventh and Q streets, one large one was blown down, falling across and demolish ing a span of the iron fence. TALKS WITH FECIT MEN. In conversation with a Recobd-Uniojt reporter yesterday afternoon, Mayor Greg ory, who is one of the largest shippers of fruits in this section, said he feared that great damage had been inflicted upon both growers and shippers of early fruits. The cherry trees, he said, had been almost stripped of their fiuit, while the early peach crop was probably injured for ship ping purposes. There was danger that the moisture would affect the quality of the fruit, and it was beyond question that the supply would be limited in consequence of the fruit being beaten from the trees. However, he hoped for the best, and a few days of soft, warm weather might repair the injury that threatens such early fruit as remains on the trees. Postmaster Stephens, who is a large grower and shipper of fruits, was seen as he was about to depart for the Bay. He said he had just come in from his orchard, and did not seem to be at all depressed over the outlook. Headmitted that "a great deal of fruit had been knocked off from the trees, and there was danger that injury would result to that which remained, but the damage to his orchard was not very great, and he had hopes that the general result of the untimely storm would not be as bad as most people feared. Undoubtedly the grain cropsin some localities, especially on low, rich ground, had been almost ru ined, butthereissomuch land that does not produce crops of heavy growth that a great deal of grain will be harvested anyhow. Tho present strawberry crop, however, was no doubt practically ruined within the storm area. IN THE MOUNTAINS. Railroad men who came down from the the summit of the Sierra Nevada yester day report the storm as most severe all along the line of the railroad. It was rain ing heavily as far up the hill as Alta, but ■ beyond that it was snowing hard. Upwards of four feet of new snow has been deposited at the Summit, and close upon (wo feet as far down the other side as Truckee. All the snow-plows had been called into use, and a large force of men was required to handle the fast-falling snow. So far no detentions had occurred, and trains were running on time. The renewal of the storm had given a new boom to the mountain streams, and a large volume of water was rushing toward the main water-ways in the valley. The effect of the freshet was made mani fest at this point yesterday afternoon, when the Sacramento began to rise quite rapidly, gaining an extra bight of nearly two feet before night. The main body of the water from the upper Sacramento will not reach here, however, before some time to-day, and when it comes a considerable rise "is looked for. The fresbet will probably ex ceed that of any time during the past winter. yesterday's rairfall. The Signal Service records show the rain fall in this city up too o'clock last evening, to have been .72 of an inch. The barom eter was falling up to 5 p. m. yesterday. The total rainfall, up to 5 o'clock last night, was for this month and this btorrn, 3 14 inches, making a total of 1!) oU inches, which is the same as the average seasonal rainfall, as deduced from a record of 40 years.
