start me 10 the shesrstikal pharnin en-
ploy.
III man really ID arxious ten mako
munny on a pharrn, ths less theory he
lays in the better, and he must do pretty
much all the work hisself, and suppors
his family on what he kan sell, and go
ragged enuf oil the time to hunt bees.
I kno of menny farmers who are SO
afflicted with superstition that they wont
plant single bean only in the last quar-
ter nv the moon, and kuo others SO
pregnant with science that they wont set
gate post until they have had the
ground analizod bi sum professor of ana
tony tew see if the earth has got the
right kind of ingredience for post holes.
This IL what call running science in
TO the ground. A
The fact ov it IL that theories of all
kinds work well except in praktiss; they
are too often designed {. do the work of
praktiss.
They amt ne theory in breaking .
mule only to SO at him with club in
your hand and sum blood in your eye,
and break him, just as you would split a

While the Republicans are unanimous
in the support OF their nominees, aud the
State resouuds with their preparations for
the approaching contest, the nomination
Of Governor uaight has fallen like wet
blanket upon large portion Of the Democ-
ratio party. They feel that the admins
tration Of the little Governor has been a
complete ia lure, that the promises s. Law
ishlv made of an e,a of ..retrenchment
and reform" have not been fulfilled and
that if lie should happen to make another
scratch" and be reelected, II would be IA
tai to the hopes Of their party of carrying
the State in the next President election.
Ear IRON dying away after the State Con
veutiou had finished its la5ors and adjourn
ed, that branch Of the party has become
even more bitter IN its opposition to the
head ofihe Democratic ticket
We alluded last week to tie fact that
the State Capital Reporter, the central
organ Of the party and the Litieant State
paper, refused 10 indorse the nomination
OF Haight The Reporter is not alone
in this, it claims that hundreds of Dempc-
Gratis think and VIII act with it. The Sierra
Age, the organ of the Sierra emocracy,
and other influential Democratic journals
are even more bitter against flaieht than
the Reporter, and declare that they will
not support him
1t needs but few years of Democratic
rule, OF rather misrule, to satisfy the people
that almost any change would be for the
better in th.t Democratic stronghold,
Pendegast's District, the people of all par
ties have united and put an independent
ticket in the field for local officers aud the
movement is supported by the Mendoclno
Democrat, and Independent Dispatch,
Democratic organs OF MendociDo county.
The movement joreshadows the defeat of
Pendegast.
The signs of the times are truly cheer
ing for the success OF the Republican
State aad Legislative Tickets With har-
mony in our own rank and dissensons in
the ranks Of our opponents, the error Of
four years ago will be retrieved and Cali
