For the I0i,rnnl


EDrroR JouaxAt The prosperity aud full!
! development of the resources of this State Is
really the most important issue between the
| people and the political hucksters Of the old
| dynasties, whose party charms have ended in
the serpents coil.
Under what conditioa Of things can the
| first object be secured to the people of Cali
! formal
will aim to answer an inquiry that mar
we'll be considered of more than a common in.
terest to q people who are laying the founda
ti9n of their own success and future greatness.
The influence ofpolitical affairs upon The State
at large must be apparent to every careful OBJ
server of the passing events Of the last few years
Heretofore The most vital interests Of Cur
State have been almost exclusively Jeff TO meu
who proved themselves to be wanting in patri.
ctism and fidelity 70 the trusts committed to
them. Many of them had no common interest
with the permanent resident, or hope for the
honor of the State-being Judases b. profes
sion. They both carry the bag and betray
their country The parallel closes here They
90 out and leave the State TO recover rs best
it may from the effects of theit NAL admlristra-
ton and leachlike mode of managing its affairs
The results are precisely what might have
been calculated on when the governmental! ana
monetary affairs were left to political gamblers
and demagogues. When we lock Dack upon
the history of these political .guerlilios sc
can scarcely perceive now Ii is that the shlp
Of State was not completely stranded
Experience is clear and emphatic il It's
teachings. A light shines from the past, ac
companicd by O voice calling--t reemer
arouse and save your State from worse man
pestilence or war-from horde Of more Lhaa
useless appendages OF Official station.
| Politicians had so enshrined themselves IN
the political questions and party Issues, that
no small reforms could reach them in their
iastness or awe them IL their clamUrs, crying
| give, give me office: give me ioaves, Q give
me fishes P' One great party had vel, nigh
demolished tie othe, latter its leaders had IA
len by DEATH and mad become SO fully .aaste.
Of the field hat aone dared 10 dispute a. inch
of ground with them. But there being more
honorable servants OF the dear people .han
service required, they fell cut concerning the
royal patronage and after lard fought battle
i'll which these "gory soldiers demonstrated
Ito the world that they were ali "rotter in
Denmark !" they again are trying their hand
at the political chess-board And should the
people remain indifferent 10 the interests Of
the Stale, they hope to wear of the laureis Of
the approaching contest and ravel on in Their
corruption and spoils Of Office
The time has fully come when healthy a4,
ton is required in politics a reform is ncces-
saLy and g change lnuss lake place before anY
inHortant measure car be secured to The State
Let demagogues and political buccaneers IN
derstand that the charm of party perished whcn
the issues between them ceased. That the raj,
lying cry sounds in vain III the cars Of Tie
people Of the State Of their adoption Thai
.hey ore no longer the slaves 10 purity dictaiion
and actlI no longer sustain the mad'caps Of
dynasty that have SO long controlled the goy
ernment and deranged its interests and ewai-
lowed up its treasure. L
