We now. keep cool with ice brought from Truckee by _the carload.~ eee For fifteen years was annoyed. with severe pain in my head and discharges into my throat from Catarrh. My sense of smell was much impaired. By the use of Ely’s Cream Balm I have overcome these troubles—J. B. Case, St. Denn‘s Hotel, venue New STANTORD AND REARST. Two Senators pees the Positions They Occupy. When Senator Stanford visited this city last Fall as a guest of the District Fair Directors, he voluntarily told many of our citizens that it would be the proudest, happiestday of his life if he. could ‘bring about an ‘équitable;” satisfactory settlement of the debris question whereby neither farmer nor miner would be sacrificed. The expression and the manner of making it did the gentleman honor and the miners felt that in him California was sending to the United States Senate a representative who would stand between them and the handful of noisy valley cranks and blackmailers who were endeavoring to work their ruin. It would not have cost Mr. Stanford a very large part of his unlimited and honestly earned fortune to bave fonnd the solution he pro . fessed toseek. If Mr. Stanford, who is so very wealthy as not personally to care wiether mining is carried on or not would have advovated the construction of impounding dams in the tributaries of the navigable rivers, instead of trying to close our gold mines, he would have commended seincions to the State at large. General Hescsrias is pethap nota great politician, but he is a good civil engineer—in fact he ranks second to very few if any oi the most noted in that profession. fherefore when he a few years ago visited the Narrows at Smartsville in company with the San. Francisco Board of Trade committee and Many prominent miners and farmers, and declared that by the expenditure of half a million of dollars a stone dam could be so constructed there as to catch and hold back all the debris that could besent down by hydraulickers during the next quarter of a century, he oftered an answer to the problerh that was ds sensible and ‘practical as it was easily comprehended. Why did not Mr. Stanford talk this thing over with the General and other gentlemen who understand it, instead of rushing previpitately into the breach and helping to widen it still more by re-inforviang the unjust, uncalled ior and destructive cause of the so-called anti-debris ring. ; Mr. Hearst has, on the contrary taken a course the wisdom o. which entitles him to the everlasting respect of the miners—not because he has set himself up at the special champion of their interests without regard to the welfare of any other class of his constituents for he has not; but because he has displayed a desire tv settle the difficulty if possible withoutinvolving them and theii industry in utter ruin while so doing. Senator Hearst may not be a great statesman, nor quite as much of an orator as some men we know of. But he has energy thai never falters and common sense that is worth its. weight in gold. a eel A Lawyer’s Opinion. Acorrespondent (who expresses himself like a lawyer we know) has the following in the Tiding~: ‘“Itis well that the Supervisors have decided (?) to re-arrange the SuperiorCourt room. Its present arrangement °is an eye-sore on one of the handsomest little Court houses in the State. Lawyer: from other counties all declare their surprise that the present miserable arrangement exists by ‘which the jery can’t hear the Judge, and the Judge can’t hear the lawyers, and the reporter can’t hear the witnesses and the Clerk can’t hear anything; and everything is awkward and awry. All this can be changed for less than 4590, Lam told, provided the. mat ter is let by bid—the only «ecent way for public officers to let anything.”’ _—_—_ oe The Pear Crp. George C.

The project of founding an academy at Glenbrook Ranch, half way between thiscity and Grass Valley, seems to be assuming definite shape. A plan has been devised of issuing certificates of scholarship, or stock certificates, which shall entitle the holder to the free tuition of one pupil in the regular courses of study the school, and shall each psec its proportion of stock in the erty. These certificates will be issued at the. figure of $500, in sufficient number to purchase the Glenbrook property and fit it up for a-school. Prof. Hill will lease the premises and organize there a school with primary and higher acade-. mical courses, also normal and business courses, modern and ancient languages, music, art, etc. Mr. and Mrs. Hill are both graduates of the classical course of the State Normal School of Michigan, and are teachers of long and varied experience. They intend to enter into this project with all their energies, and make it their life work to produce and maintain as good a private seminary as ean be found in the State. 1 Here is a scheme which, if fully realized, will be a money gain to this county in allits branches of business of ten times the original cost of the institution. Again, the intellectual, moral and social value of such a school in any community is beyond computation. Certainly no grander proposition fora public benefit, no more worthiy appeal for public favor and patronage, has ever been made to the people. As a business proposition it seems entirely safe for the stockholders, and our moneyed men must certainly see the advantage of such an investment. No better location could be found to accommodate both cities and the county at large. We bespeak for the school a brilliant success. The Amateur Minstrels.

Why did not Mr. Stanford talk this thing over with the General and other gentlemen who understand it, instead of rushing previpitately into the breach and helping to widen it still more by re-inforviang the unjust, uncalled ior and destructive cause of the so-called anti-debris ring. ; Mr. Hearst has, on the contrary taken a course the wisdom o. which entitles him to the everlasting respect of the miners—not because he has set himself up at the special champion of their interests without regard to the welfare of any other class of his constituents for he has not; but because he has displayed a desire tv settle the difficulty if possible withoutinvolving them and theii industry in utter ruin while so doing. Senator Hearst may not be a great statesman, nor quite as much of an orator as some men we know of. But he has energy thai never falters and common sense that is worth its. weight in gold. a eel A Lawyer’s Opinion. Acorrespondent (who expresses himself like a lawyer we know) has the following in the Tiding~: ‘“Itis well that the Supervisors have decided (?) to re-arrange the SuperiorCourt room. Its present arrangement °is an eye-sore on one of the handsomest little Court houses in the State. Lawyer: from other counties all declare their surprise that the present miserable arrangement exists by ‘which the jery can’t hear the Judge, and the Judge can’t hear the lawyers, and the reporter can’t hear the witnesses and the Clerk can’t hear anything; and everything is awkward and awry.

The project of founding an academy at Glenbrook Ranch, half way between thiscity and Grass Valley, seems to be assuming definite shape. A plan has been devised of issuing certificates of scholarship, or stock certificates, which shall entitle the holder to the free tuition of one pupil in the regular courses of study the school, and shall each psec its proportion of stock in the erty. These certificates will be issued at the. figure of $500, in sufficient number to purchase the Glenbrook property and fit it up for a-school. Prof. Hill will lease the premises and organize there a school with primary and higher acade-. mical courses, also normal and business courses, modern and ancient languages, music, art, etc. Mr. and Mrs. Hill are both graduates of the classical course of the State Normal School of Michigan, and are teachers of long and varied experience. They intend to enter into this project with all their energies, and make it their life work to produce and maintain as good a private seminary as ean be found in the State. 1 Here is a scheme which, if fully realized, will be a money gain to this county in allits branches of business of ten times the original cost of the institution. Again, the intellectual, moral and social value of such a school in any community is beyond computation. Certainly no grander proposition fora public benefit, no more worthiy appeal for public favor and patronage, has ever been made to the people. As a business proposition it seems entirely safe for the stockholders, and our moneyed men must certainly see the advantage of such an investment. No better location could be found to accommodate both cities and the county at large. We bespeak for the school a brilliant success. The Amateur Minstrels.
