Chaingangs for Vagrants. ps ———$——— The following remarks from the Sacramento Record-Union will apply with equal force to the state of af fair#tin Nevada City: The question has often been asked why a chain. gang was not in operation here in order to make vagrants, petit lareeny “thieves, etc., doa little work occasionally. As we understand, the, matter, the City Trusfees ‘have hel}. when the subject was up for consideration, that the expen’é “would be heavy, and that there were so many good mon in search of work that if the city had any to give it would be better to hire them to have it performed by prisoners.;, The expense referred to includes the pay of two odicers to watch aud work the gang, the feeding of the prisoners, the cost of transportation in wagons to and from the place where they might: be at work, the tools and material to work with, ete. Doubtless.in that view of the case there would not be any economy in havisig work performby prisoners; but if therewasa chain? gang in which vagrants and thieves would have to work there would be fewer of them in the city, gaining a living by begging and stealing, and the city andcounty would have much leas to pay for their-keeping in jail. As things are go.ng now, the undesirable element increasing so rapidly in town, it would be a very good thing to have'a chain-gang organized again. oa ee Important to Ditch Owners. An important decision was recently rendered by the Unit-d States Supremeée Court, involving the question as to whether a person whe has constructed a canal or ditch for the purpose of mining or irrigation upon can be forced to abandon the same hy another person claiming title to the lands under a subsequent grant, The convt hols that the rights of owners of ditches or canals in such cases are rights which the Government has recognized and is bound to protect.
