SroMAoHfo+L RErAL1AroN.-Lately, the
Assembly has adjourned much earlier than
heretofore, and we have wondered why
should this occur. We wonder no longer.
1t appears that several members leave the
State House to obtain noon dinner Pretty
sooq after they depart it is ascertained that
no quorum is present and call of the
House is made. While this is going on
the absentees return, and. as their motive
power, the stomach, has been invigorated
with a supply of their active principle,
something to eat and drink, they are pre-.
pared to prolong the session until towards
night ungenerously, refusing to adjourn, that
others may be likewise renewed. The late
dinner takers have now determined to pro-
.tect themselves, SO they adjourn when the
twelve o'clockers leave. We hope this ad-
miral plan Of retaliation will presently cul-
inmate in final adjournment.

PRESENT DECLINE AND ULTIMATE FALL
The old clique tribe are savagely sour to-
day in consequence Of their defeat yester
day at the primary election and the evi-
dent determination of the Cleans to set up
new rule. And a little something occurred
in the Assembly this morning: Mr.. Inman
a Contra Costa Democrat, offered the fol-
lowing: Resolped the Senate concurng-
That the Legislature adjourn for one week
to give the conductors of the Democratic
State Journal an opportunity of preparing
instructions which shall govern the Legs-
iature during the balance Of the session."
OF course this repudiatng and sarcastic
piece of Democracy was ruled out of order.

1t strikes us there is "world of wisdom
in the following quotation, brief as it is
every school-boy knows that kite would

The man who is tied down by half dozen
blooming responsibilities and their mother,
will make higher and stronger flight than
the bachelor, who having nothing to keep
him steady, Is always floundering in the mud.
If you want to ascend in the world, tie your
