WHAT DX. BROCK THINK-; OF US.
lir. Brock, in the London Fortnight!,/
Jl, iT <_, tells the English people and ail
others some solid truths. Dr. Brock has
visited the ci position at Chicago, and lio
l.as traveled slowly and observed care
fully in many States of the Union. Ho
Writes vigorously to disabuse the English
mind of tlie idea that the United States is
as yet in the very green stage of develop
ment. •
He tells them that in one hundred yrars
this country has made progress aud
leached a proud eminence, achieved by
European States only through slow ad
vances during more than a thousand or
liiteen hundred years; and Dr. Brock, to '
i niphasize his allegation and quicken j
J British comprehension, adds these sig- ;
nificant words: $
"This surprising development is not oy \
any means coniined to commerce, trade, ;
and the industrial arts, but covers all j
tiiose conditions which are manifest iv ■
an advanced civilization.'"
Which means that the learned sociol
ogist would have the people of Europe
understand that they make themselves
ridiculous when tliey estimate the Amer
ican States and their people as infinitely
or at all inferior. That European society
is older and fuller developed in art and
architecture, and is more advanced in
higher and technical education is to be
conceded ; that European society is more
Belect and in many respects is more re
fined is due to the age and the monarch
ical conditions. But, as Dr. Brook tells
the Europeans, the people of America, in
matorial wealth, in conquests over nature,
tiie occupancy of new lands, the peopling
of the couutry, development of territory,
the upbuilding and variety of industries,
the establishment of institutions of popu
lar education, in agricultural and me
chanic arts, in the volume of industries
and the aggregate of values handled by
tin-in, in progress in mining, in coinage
of gold and silver, in marvelous pros
perity, in railroad construction, in com
fortable conditions of all classes, have
made advances in a hundred years that
Europe has not made in a thousand and
bas not surpassed during the spaoe of
fifteen hundred years.
He goes further than this, and declares
that it is all directly due to the forms of
constitutional government, constitutions
interpreting liberty, protection and j
human right.
In conclusion, the learned writer tells
bis European readers that "the American
people are the most comfortably housed,
tlie best clothed and the best fed people
in the world; and they are advancing on
right lines to a higher, better and purer
civilization than has ever before existed
in the world's history."
The doctor ought to have added that
England, Germany, France and Italy are !
Bonding to us constantly people wbo look j
upon this country through very different
glasses; who make first use of their new
found privileges to declare that every
thing is all wrong here; that labor is op
pressed, human right tyrannically cir- j
c inscribed, personal liberty manacled,
the conditions of toil abhorrent, the
iaws oppressive, the people's officers au
autocratic class, the people's government \
a mockery, the American social system a i
.ham and a cheat, and that the right thing !
and only thing to do is to "stab the iaw,"
upturn order, cry havoc and let slip the
dogs of anarchy. If Dr. Brock is right.
then we are wrong in tolerating such
people his Europe sends to us as
would undo all the achievements with
which be credits us.

RIGHT ACTION.
Police Judge Buckley has rendered a
decision in accordance with well-estab
lished principles of law that must go a
long way in relieving the Trustees of any
possible embarrassment in the matter of |
SACKAMEXTO DAILY RECOBD-UNION, SATFimAY, AUGUST 12, 189.3.-EIGIIT PAGES.
issuing and revoking licenses. For years
it bas been the custom to permit tho i
takers of licenses to browbeat and over- i
ride tbe authorities whenever an attempt :
wus made to limit license issues for the
keeping of drink places. Notoriously, j
last year the license holders defied the ]
Trustees and challenged their right to re- j
yoke or to refuse licenses for such places.
Judge Buckley holds that license issu- j
ing is a police regulation, and so is license |
revocation. That there is no such thing as
a "right" to a license; on the contrary, it j
is a mere privilege, within tbe discretion
of the municipal body. That a license is I
not a contract—indeed, the ordinance j
under which it is issued specifically re- i
tains the right in the city to call in the
license and conclude the privilege at will.
The holder of a license takes it under !
such condition aud is estopped from
denying it.
This commendable decision should en
courage the Trustees to go ou with the
good work, and close out the dives, and
shut up all saloons that by private en- j
trances aro made lures and snares for '
women, girls and the unwary. Cities !
have the right to protect themselves
against any andall influences detrimental I
to good morals, order and the well-being ;
of the people. If it were not so, liberty
would mean the right to do that which
injures one's neighbor, without let or j
hindrance. It has been too much so all j
along in this city. Liberty bas seemed
to be enjoyed ouly by the lawless and
theso who ignore the rights of others.
Unfortunately, our authorities in the last
few years have been very weak-kneed
in protecting tbe right of tbose wbo wish
good ordor, peace and quietness. The
bour for a change for the better has been
struck by Judge Buckley.

LEECH AND WIIITE O.N SILVEIt. j
Ex-Director of the United States Mint,
Edward <_. Leech, pronounces emphatic
ally, in the For tun, for a single standard
of value, and believes that therein lies
our financial safety. Since the actiou of
British India, be declares that (except
Mexico, whose coinage cuts no figure in
the case., ours is now the only country
buying silver bullion and coining it into
legal-tender money. Mr. Loech remarks
upon tbis in these words:
This policy has already resulted in changing
oar currency from gold to sliver, and lias
created widespread distrust ol our ability to
maintain the gold, standard. It is noi possible,
now that barbaric ludia, our great silver ally,
lia- 1 idled down her silver iuoi and taken
steps Us coniorm her monetary system to tbat
ot the civilized world, tbat tbe United States
will continue to act in mouetury isolation, iv
..i tbe resi ol tbe world, and stiil fur
ther imperil its magnlfleent prosperity and
credit by paying ..old for a discarded, a depre
ciated and a depreciating metal, it must be
remembered that whatever importance there
may be in the ose of money as a in, dium of
exchange, Its greatest value is as a measure of
all,-.and that in Ihis respect the I'nited
siates lias not departed since 1534 from the
gold standard. Gold is still the sole standard
of value in tiie I'nited Slates, both legally and
actu lly. aud the determination and ability of
the United states to main am all its money
at a pai ily with gold is still unabated. While
the road back lo sale financial principles may
bi rough aud stony, it is still open, aud the
sooner we enter upon lt the surer will he our
reiiel irom tne present distressing and threat
ening business difiiculties.
To a great extent Horace White, the
eminent financier, agrees with Mr. Leech
in this matter. He has written an essay
declaring his belief to be that while tho
closing of tbe Indian mints to silver has
really acted beneficially, instead of harm
fully, the present scarcity of money in
our country is unrelieved by the sur
plus ot Kurope, solely ou account of
the silver scare. Mr. White says that he
can recall no other time iv our history
within his recollection, when the offers of
high rates of interest have failed to at
tract foreign capital to America.

ROADS AND WALKING.
It is said that the English women are
stronger and more healthful than our
women, becauso they walk more. The
English woman thinks nothing of a live
mile walk before breakfast. But what
provision do we make for walking in
this country, outside of the streets and
stone walks of the cities? Who has ever
seen a woman attempting to walk upon
a Califoruia country highway and bas
not pitied the poor creature from the bot
tom of his heart as she waded through
weeds, cockleburrs, dust and sticky
plants aud over the rocky or knobby
ground.
What inducement is there foi people to
engage in the exercise of walking here?
Our roads certainly do not invite them;
on the contrary, they actually repulse.
Thousands of people who would take tive
and even ten-mile country walks and
think nothing of it do not indulge now, j
mpsily because the roads forbid, no pro- I
vision being made for pedestrians. In I
France every main highway in the Re- j
public has on either side well-kept walk- j
ways for pedestrians. A farmer's wife
can there visit another's without riding;
children cau reach their sehoolhouses in
a neat and cleanly condition, and men
can walk upon the highway and not soil
their holiday attire. For these reasons,
as well as for others, we hold that road
building should not be put upon the
country alone, but upou ail the people,
those of towns as well as of rural parts.
Both classes have equal interest in good
roads; both use them, and there is no
reason, therefore, in charging the cost and
committing the administration to one
ciass to the exclusion ofthe other.
The Chicago Herald is merciless and
vulgar. It denounces the silver platform
of the Chicago convention as a rehash of
coarse and unsavory historical falsehoods,
libels on distinguished men, living and
dead, the calamity shrieks of stark-naked
fallacies and the stock in trade of a con
glomerate crowd of silver mining mill
ionaires and wild-eyed money-maniacs.
This is alliteratively very well put, but it
is brutal, and does not comport with the
dignity of a first-class journal, and be
side it is not all true.
___.
The entire official force of the kingdom
of Italy is engaged in concealing and j
suppressing the facts about the cholera !
epidemic in that country. This is the I
worst bit of policy that bas ever been j
adopted by a civilized people. The facts
leak out, however, about the conditions
in Italy, aud they are bad enough. The ;
! pest rages in Naples, and the authorities
I appear to be unable to control iL Iv i
breeding places are in groups of wells
into which garbage is dumped, but from
. which people are still permitted to draw
a water supply. In this country that !
source would be closed out before the _c
j count of it could be written. Italy is a j
I good place to stay away from just now,
; and as to the governments of the world, i
tbey should one and all quarantine abso- '
j lutoly agaiust all Italian ports, since the j
! Italian Government by its insane policy ]
renders it impossible to distinguish be- i
; tween cleau aud infected ports.
The silver men, according to that I
! erratic and radical enthusiast, Colonel
I Fisk, who created much amusement at
thu Trausmississippi Congress, are to boy
cott the rest of the country if Congress
does uot do just what the Fisk faction
wants done. Among other thing-, tbo
pension list is to be enlarged so as to
tako in all the Confederate veterans, all
I tho cousins, aunts and uncles of soldiers,
and their cronies; then an income-tax
j law is to be passed, aud tho people of the
Atlantic East are to be taxed heavily to
; meet the pension expenditure. AU this
is as silly chatter as was ever indulged
j in. But then Fisk is the sort of man for
j that business. He is remarkable for the
iength of his writings, and while a man
| of considerable ability, he never knows :
| when he comes to the place to stop, either
in an essay, a speech, or a threat.

The Courier-Journal says England bas
given evidence of no desire to annex
Hawaii, and therefore we need have no ;
fear iv that quarter. Indeed? But Kng- I
land never does run about spouting of
her intentions. Her Cabinet makes up
its mind without tbe aid of newspapers
or telegraphic correspondents, and when
it acts the thing is done. We believe,
however, that there is evidence in plenty i
that Kngland has long cast a lustful eye j
upon Hawaii. Such a plum could not
fail to make a monarchial mouth water. j
A uiid-I'acitic station is, of all things |
else, the one great desire of Kngland. Of
tbis desire sbe has not been especially se
cretive, and, in fact, there is not a nation
in Kurope thai would not jump at the
chance to gain such a footing at our very
doors.

A San Francisco paper comments
sagely upou the shrewdness of tlie Long
Islaud girl who slipped oil' her shoes in a
sinking boat, and by the occupants using
tbem as baling vessels the iives of tbo
sailing party were saved. Tbe San Frau
cisco paper suggests tbat tbo publication
of the story may serve a useful purpose,
as indicating how drowning maj' be pre
vented where tbo ordinary baling basin
is lacking. That will do well for the lati
tude aud longitude of San Francisco, and
for the girls of tbe metropolis. The inci
dent has no value in tbis quarter, how
ever. The boat would sink if freighted
with Sacramonto girls. No vessel could
be saved tbat was dependent upou such
small baling appliances as tbe shoes of
our girls. Down below, however, a single ]
slipper would serve to lower the tide.

Georoe Augustus Sai.a is quoted by
a San Francisco contemporary as declar- I
ing that while in-almost all othor callings |
of the professional order versatility is a
drawback, in journalism it is an essential
qualification. Tbis is so true iv tbese
days, that a newspaper man who ia not
versatile, ready for auy and all kinds of
newspaper work, with few exceptions,
adaptable, plastic to the need of tbe hour
and his paper, is really out of his ele
ment and ought to get into some calling
that requires only a groove for its track.

If the paper is not misreported, and
the SU Louis (Republic did say that

then that paper said a very silly thing, j

dom, and no party was ever yet entitled I
to say that its opponents held uo position
not dangerous.

Let Sacramento vote down the clear

The anarchists refused to leave the So

THE KIN-.PEL FAILURE.
Sheriff O'Neil Submits His Report to
the Superior Court,
It was expected that there would be
another hearing with relerence to the pe
culiar failure of Mrs. Bertha Kinspel's
grocery business yesterday in the Su
perior Court, but owing to tne absence of
Judge Catlin no further evidence was
takeu.
Sheriff O'Neil, as receiver of the prop
erty, reported to Judge Prewett that he
had sold the stock of groceries for £!___.
He further reported that, after he had
been appointed receiver, he was informed
that one Solomon, a merchant at .-san
Pablo, had received from .Mrs. Kinspel
and her husband a large quantity of
merchandise, as wei. as a horse and
harness and delivery wagou. The Sheriff
went to Sau Pablo aud obtained the prop
erty from Solomon, who protested
against delivering tbe property. The
Sheritf said he had not disposed of tbis
property, for the reason that an assignee
must be appoiuted, and he prefers that
the assignee and Solomon should settle
the right of title to the property.
The receiver's report was approved.
The taking of evidence in the hearing de
manded by the creditors, was postponed
for two weeks.
