Humiliation of Labor.

The enormous disparity between the wages OF
workingmen and the income of individuals hold
ing local office, is q subject which should not es-
cape reflection by the people and earnest effort
at equalization by their representatives. Men OF
intelligence and capability are now laboring in
the mines for three, four, or five dollars day,
instant as the daylight going early to work and
returning late, weary and chilled with the damp
of the mine, while office incumbents, occupied
but fraction of their time, receive annually a
sum which fortune seldom apportions to painful
industry. Each year the miners wages are grad
uated with the productiveness of his working
place; men are now hired for fifty dollars
month, who formerly demanded two hundred;
placers previously condemned are now thronged
by eager workers, who are content with dollars
where they formerly expected ounces; merchants,
clerks, and persons of every industrial pursuit
are satisfied with smaller gains, and the elected
officer, only, may expect income established in
the flush times.
We speak now of the State at large-the int
come of officers in this county being somewhat
less disproportionate with the wages of working
people. In Yuba, Nevada, Sierra, Siskiyou, and
other largely populated counties the income of
Shrilfs and County Clerks is so prodigious that
the offices are the chief subjects of contest I'M
election. To bo chosen to either Office is absolute
fortune to retire from business on, while County
Judges receive scarcely enough to make the Office
tenabe by an ordinarily successful attorney, and
legislators, school superintendents and supervi-
sors are recompensed more in proportion with
the service performed.
We maintain that State and County officers
should, like the thrifty dealer, dispose of their
wares to suit the tmes;' at least there should
be an equalization of recompense with all serving
the public in important place, corresponding with
the amount of service rendered-which is not the
case now. There is radical error in the scale.
But still greater is the injustice to tax payers
counties rich in minerals and fertile in soil art
insovcnt and tax ridden. Their public building
| and necessities are dsproportionatei their citizen
refrain from contesting in law beceuse justice
costs too much and defeat is overwhelming ruin
The rates of taxation are yearly increased t.
avert impending bankruptcy, while property an
nually decreases in value, and the payer reduce
the wages of all in his service. The same squan
dering hands are busy in the treasury of State
public servants are paid enormous salaries tc
perform labor which by sublctting is apportioned
to and executed by the meancst capacity. Thest
facts, we hope, will be kept in mind by the nex
assembling body of law constructors and revsors
stimulated to action by such of the press as may
| ind of fborif Ia
to utter free opinion.

SECOND CHILDHOOD OF THE YEAR.-The oak
and maple trees on the hill sides now look exactly
as they did in spring when their leaves were ten
der and young-their color is the same, their
shade as scant their contrast with the evergreens
in every respect similar. But it is delusive
show of youth; few more frosts will have scared
them to the palor of death-time. North of the
valley white mountains rise in spotless splendor;
west that delusve spring time appears. The
rain has momentarily revived the dying foliage,
as q word of hope, for moment, re-invigorates an
old man dying, or as a chance drop of oil pro-
longs the flicker of an expiring lamp. But the
birds have not been deceived-they have gone;
not quail remains to pipe among the willows
that fringe the stream. The provdent ground
squirrel is observed hurrying to his burrow with
mouth full of winters stores; he has noted the
drge moan of the woods and the unfolding
shroud that is being slowly let down from the
bill-tops

no better hearted or generous handed man lives
on the earth. While a resident of that county
we learned to respect his manliness, independence
of character and self-sacriicing devotion to

been continued in an Office in which his fidelity
has been instant. George is a high old and
somewhat inconvenient enemy, but equally ardent
in his friendships.
