A FEW WORDS TO THE CITY TRUSTEES.
AVhen it is considered that upon one of
the island reclamation districts below this
c'.ty there is a centrifugal pump that
throws out 100,000 gallons of water a min
ute, or 6,000,000 gallons an hour, or 144,
--000,000 in the day, it is amazing that this
c ity should dilly-dally with an indifieren
old pump at V street that is incapable of
discharging the surplus drainage of the
city. Yet the interest that finds it profit
able to work the great pump referred to,
and which is making money rapidly by
the operation, does not represent one-tenth
the moneyed interest that is involved in
the drainage system of Sacramento.
The truth is, it woulil be cash in hand
to the people of Sacramento to excavate a
basin at the foot of the drainage pipe
on V street, cement it and put in a pump
such as that referred to, and throw out in
a quarter of the working hours of each
day every particle of the drainage of the
city. With such machinery the lower
part of the city, which is a pond, and the
section south of M street that is liable to
choked drains every winter would be com
pletely relieved and the whole area of the
city would be kept as dry as a bone the
year around. Duriug the most of the time
when the drains refuse to carry ofl the
rain water, and when, in consequence, lots
and basements on the old grade are Hooded,
such a pump as that referred to would lift
the whole of the water within the city
liniits and cast it out daily in seven hours'
time. ISut we pursue the six-by-nine
policy of paying an engineer month in
and month out to stand by a rickety old
concern that at no time can empty the
drainage and that is powerless to afibrd re
lief in case of an ordinary rain-storm.
Day after day last winter when there
was heavy rainfall the drains choked and
the residents south of L street and below
Jsinth street, and those west of Tenth and
north of I street were damaged in purse
and comfort by their basements being
flooded by backwater from the sewers.
Had there been such a pump as that in
the Pearson district located at the proper
point on V street, the entire drainage
could have been thrown into a flume and
have been discharged by gravitation into
the river. There is a pump in operation
at the foot of Grand Island, the expense of
which is borne by about thirty persons,
that throws out daily water suflicient to
equal the entire day drainage of this city in
the winter season. We submit that it will
cost no more to operate such a pump, so
far as salaries are concerned, than it does
to run the small and wholly inefficient
affair we now have, that has not the capa
city to empty the water out of the low
lands in the city between X and V streets-
It would cost more for fuel and more to
put in such machinery as is needed, but
the returns would a hundred fold repay
the expense. We submit to the Trustees
that the subject is worth examination, and
that it will pay them to sit down, pencil
in hand, and ascertain if this city cannot
in the long run operate a proper discharge
pump cheaper than the indifferent allair
it now runs, and which it is comiielled to
work for three times the length of tinie
that is necessary.
THE ELECTRICAL EXECUTION METHOD.
The wisdom of the New York law pro
hibiting detailed reports of executions was
emphasized by the Kemmler execution.
Here we have columns of details, specula
tion and conjecture, alleged fact and denial,
concerning an aflair that at the outside
took but seventeen seconds of time. The
truth is, that when the average sensation
reporter starts out to .-how what he can do,
time is eliminated, distance counted out,
and space treated as a matter of uo conse
quence.
There never was a report of an execu
tion so full of absurdity and contradiction
as in the case of Kemmler. Even the doc
tors are in disagreement to some extent.
In one breath we are told that it was a
horrible scene, liecause there were some
signs of life at the expiration of six anl a
half seconds from the time the current was
applied. Then it is said that the man
suffered untold torture. Who knows that?
What proof is there of it ? But it is added
that the man heaved ■ sigh, or gave evi
dences of breathing at the expiration of
eleven seconds. We have seen the chest
heave, and the head rock, and the hands
convulsively twitch, and the legs draw up,
and the whole body quiver and contort at
the expiration of eight, ten, and even
twelve minutes after the drop fell in exe
cutions by hanging. We have seen the
knot slip and the man die in slow torture
by strangulation. In some cases the rope
parts and the miserable victim has to be
swung up the second time. In not a few
cases the fall has jerked the head from off
the body. In all case^of hanging the feat
ures arc fearfully contorted, and were it
not for the black cap the spectators would
be horrified at the sight of the dying
man's face. But we arc told that in Kemm
ler's case there was nothing about his feat
ures to indicate any other than a peaceful
death.
One of our contemporaries, the San
Francisco Call, gravely expresses the fear
that the electrical process of execution has
scored a failure, and forecasts that the law
co.umanding that system will be repealed.
We submit that this is hasty judgment.
The first case probably was not managed
as well as it should have been. It is nat
ural that in a first case som? errors should
be committed that will not appear in the
next one. We have no warrant for writing
down electrical executions as a failure be
cause in the initial case there were evidences
of vitality at the expiration of six and a
half seconds, or ten or twenty seconds or
even a minute. It is a fact that the doc
tors are agreed that so far as science can
determine the victim suffered not at all,
and died without pain or struggle, and
was unconscious and insensible from the
instant that the electrical current was ap
plied. Under such a finding it is foolish
to condemn the new system and pronounce
the prophecy of its abandonment and a re
turn to that old and barbarous agency, the
rope.
"STAND AND DELIVER."
Says Henry Cabot Lodge in the Atlantic
Monthly:
-he world owes a greater debt to its writers of
books, probably, than to any other men who
have lived. In the noble words of Dr. Johnson,
they are the men who "help us to enjoy life, or
teach us to endure it."
Under the prevailing system of laws
these writers are robbed on both sides of
the globe. In the United States we per
mit the work of the European author to
be stolen and sold for the sole benefit of
the thief. On the other side of the At
lantic they consent to the product of
American literary genius being stolen and
retailed for the benefit of the conscience
less pilferer. International copyright pol
icy simply declares that the nefarious bus
iness shall cease, and that if a foreign pub
lisher produces the work of an American
author lie shall do so only with his con
sent ; and so, too here, that our literary
pirates shall go out of business. In short,
international copyright does even-handed
justice. Yet an American Congress de
clines to agree to it. On the contrary.it
applauds while piratical publishers call
upon authors at the end of a bludgeon to
stand and deliver.
And now it is the San Francisco Call, a
journal from which we had expected better
things, that uses the so-called word, "elec
trocution." If these papers adhere to
the abominable thing with the expectation
of forcing it into the English language,
they will have their labor for their pains.
It is simply impossible to tag it upon the
English tongue. It will be noted that in
the State where electricity is first used for
the execution of criminals, the "word" is
not used, and for the best of reasons, it is
a collection of letters without any mean
ing. It is proper to say that one is
electro executed, or that the event was
an electrical execution, but not ''electro
cution," for the good reason that the
suffix —if we may call it sueh—has no
meaning that conveys the idea of life-tak
ing. We are surprised that the Call should
have followed in the wake of the Examiner,
which was the first to use the meaningless
thing which the Call now dignifies as a
caption to an editorial article. We sub
mit, gentlemen of the press, that you have
nothing to gain by your attempts to
familiarize the public with the so-called
"word," and that you do violence to your
taste by insistence upon the use of it.
It is clear that Guatemala is piling up
for herself a mountain of wrath that it
will lie the duty of the United States Gov
ernment to topple over upon the Central
American State. Minister Mizner is
practically a prisoner. He is unable to
communicate with his Government further
than to convey his address. It is there
fore certain that his dispatches are inter
cepted, and that he is shut off by < iovern
mental orders from all communication
with the Washington authorities. For
this ofTense the Guatemalan autocrats must
be called to account, and we mistake the
temper of President Harrison if he does
not make the offenders smart for it.
Thk Atlanta Constitution is just now en
gaged upon the contract of organizing a
boycott in the South against the trade of
the North. It apjiears, however, to be
working almo«t single-handed and alone;
indeed,- it is apparent that if it had a bond
on file as security for fulfilling its task, the
sureties would have to pay up.
Tiikrk is a rapidly augmenting senti
ment that Prince Bismarck is talking too
much for a retired statesman. He babbles
of matters that certainly must have been
confided to him in confidential relation-
Is it i_>3sible that the Prince is entering
upon his second childhood?
The Louisville Courier-Journal asks:
"If, in the North, it requires more votes to
elect a Democrat to Congress than are
needed to put in a Republican, who is do
ing the 'fraudulating'." " The reply is, "It
does not." That Democratic "if" is very
frequent nowadays.
It is announced that judicial sentences
of exile to Siberia will soon lie abandoned
by the Russian Government. But that
will be a very short advance step, so long
as Siberian exile and imprisonment by in
formation and department decrees remain.
Thky are very hysterical at the South
over the Lodge election bill. But it is
worthy of note that political hysterics
never yet seriously resulted. When calmer
counsels prevail the Southern agitators
will be ashamed of themseives.
Thk San Francisco Examiner still ad
heres with the stubbornness of ignorance
and the insistence ot "tom-foolery" to the
Kxaminercution of saying "electrocution.''
One of these words is just as sensible as
the other.

BRIGADE DAY.
THE COMMaNDEE PAYS A VISIT TO THE
SANTA CEUZ CAMP.
A Lieutenant Goes to a Dance and
Gets Inlo Trouble—A Lady
Before the Target.
Sakta Cruz, August 6th.
To-day in camp was set aside as brigade
day, in honor of the arrival of General
Sheehan. He was net at the depot at noon
time by Colonel Hubbard, Majors Sher
burn, Ryan and Wallace, and Lieutenants
Ornisby and Robie, and thence escorted to
camp. In the evening a reception was held
at headquarters, and a large number of
Santa Cruzans and Sacramento people
came ont from town. The band played
delightful concert music for over two hours
during the reception, and all appeared to
have enjoyed themselves fully. Grand
guard-mount was held at 5:30 p. m., and
Colonel McKee acted as Field Officer of the
Day. Lieutenants Steams of Oompany G,
and Tyler of A, were appointed Officer of
the Guard and Lieutenant of the Guard,
respectively. The mounting of guard was
performed excellently.
Lieutenant Robie was unmercifully guyed
to-day,but be took all of itgood-naturepiy.
Last night at the dance no one was allowed
on the platform excepting enlisted men
and visitors, and a violation of the order
subjected a person to imprisonment in tbe
guardhouse. Lieutenant Robie knew
nothing of the order, but Lieutenant
Ornisby did. The latter induced Robie to get
a partner, and then escorted him to tbe plat
form. While the unsuspecting Lieutenant
was enjoying himself in a whin with his
best girl, his treacherous friend, Ornisby,
hurried away to the guard-house and
brought up a detail of men. They rushed
upon the dance-11 jor, unceremoniously tore
Robie from his lair partner, and marched
him roughly down toward thegnard-house.
The prisoner tried to explain, but was
hushed in short order. Luckily, however,
Colonel Guthrie was met, and seeing an
officer at the mercy of the guards, he or
dered them to dismiss the Lieutenant, but
intruded the latter to stay in camp twenty
four hours ; but Robie has been looking for
Ormsby ever since.
Captain O'Connor, United States army,
inspected camp lo day in company with
Colonel Guthrie and Captain Curson. The
inspection was made subject to an order of
the Government that all encampments of
the State militia shall be inspected by an
officer of the regular army. Captiin O'Con
nor expressed himself but little, but it is
quite probable that he will make a favora
ble report. He witnessed dress parade last
evening, and it was gone through so
smoothly tbat he surely must have been
very favorably impressed as far as that
ceremony was performed.
Two targets were put up this morning,
and members of Companies Gaud B in
dulged in target practice. Many watched
the shooting with interest, and the ladies,
to the surpiisi|of the men, took a hand.
Mis. Captain Seymour shot tbe regulation
Springfield rifie for the first time, and al
most dumbfounded tbe spectators by mak
ing a score of 31 in ten shots. She missed
the target nut once, and one of the bullets
pierced the black spot. Sbe shot offhand,
and on the first fire made the excellent
score of 17 points. Xot a great many of
the soldiers can make such a score. After
tiring ten shots, however, her arm became
black and blue from the elbow to the
shoulder.
Adjutant Greer Las arrived here and
this evening officiated at dress parade. He
has an excellent voice and with practice
will no doubt make one of the bfst adju
tants this regiment has ever had.
The food to-day m camp was first-class,
and three excellent meals were served.
Lieutenant Maydwell, wbo is superintend
ing tbis important branch of the camp, as
well as a great many other matters, says he
proposes to see that tbe men are satisfied.
He attributes the complaint that was made
on Sunday to the fact that a larger num
ber than were expecfed had to be accom
modated and provisions ran out.
In addition to the list of ladies stopping
at camp, which was published a couple of
days ago, are Mrs. A. J. Plant, Miss Bor
chers. Miss Jessie Pierson, and Mrs. Mamie
Hendricks.
Charles Jones and Ed. J. Devlin, of Bac
ramento, were among the visitors to camp
to-day. They spent but a few hours.
Captain Seymour, of E, arrived here to
night and will assume charge of his com
pany during the remainder of tbe week.
Previous to the Captain's arrival Lieuten
ant Frank Smith had command of the
company.
Key. John F. yon Herrlich, Chaplain of
tbe regiment, expects to leave camp on
Saturday in order to be in Sacramento on
Sunday to hold services in St. Paul's
C_ urch on that day.
The Rev. John F. yon Herrlich, C. A.
Neale, conductor of the band, Miss Jessie
Pierson, Mrs. HendricKs, and several
others, were present at the dinner given to
day to the Mystic Shriners at the Big
Trees.
Record-Unions are eagerly sought for
every evening by the people at camp and
the residents in town.
To-morrow nisht a grand ball will be
given at the Ocean House to the officers of
the regiment. The First Artillery B3nd
has consented to delight the dancers with
its entrancing music.
The stores in town are reaping a harvest
selling cosmetics, vasceline, bay rum and
glycerine, and the campers are doing all
the buying. Everybody's nose is beauti
fully tinted and peeling will set in in a day
or so. Some of the noses have not yet
reacbed tbe bight of color but still many
are full-fledged headlights, and the ex
pression on everyone's face speaks ont
plainer than words, 'Handle this with
care."
In addition to Mrs. Seymour's score the
following were made by other ladies, each
taking tive shots: Mrs. Major Wallace, 17:
Miss Lillie Wallace, 17; Mrs. J. L. Hughes,
16.
SWIMMING-BATH MEETING,
To Further Couturier tlie Establishment
of Rath* in Sacramento.
A meeting will be held at the Court
house this evening, at 7:30 o'clock, to con
sider further the swimming-bath scheme,
which has now attained such proportions
that it is deemed assured of success. Abont
$12,000 of the capital stock has been sub
scribed, and it is not considered tbat there
will be any special dilliculty in obtaining
tbe balance, as scores of people intend to
join the association after a permanent or
ganization shall bave been formed. AH
who have subscribed for stock are requested
to attend to-night, and all others wno feel
an interest in thematterand bave anything
to ofler in the premises that will tend to
further the scheme. It is the hope of tbe
friends of the proposition that there will
be a large attendance and a fair and free
discussion ot the matter, but that it will
not be made a meeting to debate visionary
plans and ideas beyond the scope of the
effort to establish capacious warm and cold
inclosed swimming baths, suflicient for the
needs of the people and so ordered that
they will be a paying investment and still
be the cheapest plunge-baths in tbe State.

HE WAS ASHAMED
To Ask Again, but His Frank Letter
Got It for Him.
A few months ago one of the unfortunate
Inmates in the San Fraucisco Almshouse
was inspired by the sensational statements
in tho newspapers with tho belief that Joy's
Vegetable Sarsaparilla would help him. But
Without money, how to get it was tha ques
tion. Finally he wrote to the Edwin W. Joy
Co., appealing to their generosity, and it was
not unheeded, the coveted preparation be
ing sent by tho next parcel delivery. IU
effect is best told in a subsequent letter, from
Which we quote the following: .-
"I suppose you know me by this writing,
and my circumstances and conditiou. Al
though" improving, I ask of your generosity
for auother bottic of your Joy's Vegetable
Sarsaparilla. Its laxative action is perfec
tion itself. It has so thoroughly regulated
my system that my catarrh, rheumatism,
constipation, and headaches are all better.
I feel ashamed to ask in this way, but what
■hail I do? I thought I might not need any
more, but I am now so anxious to keep it up;
bnt you see how it is."
It was sent, and he can get more if he needs
it
