EDITORIAL PARAGRAPHS,


= o.
INiPERsoNAL JoURNALIsM.-The San
Francisco Chronicle, being now edited
by an Individual whose political career
has'hcen in the shape OF numerous de-
partaRessand returns from and TO the Re-
publican party is now clamoring logdly
in favor Of impersonal journalism. When
we consider that the present occupant of
the Chronicle editorial chair was can
didate for Presidential Eleotor ION ythe
Demo Liberal ticket In this State four
months ago, and that paper desires TO be-
come leader in the Republican ranks
to-day, we do not blame it for censuring
other journals when they expose the
name OF its editor. 1t is an old saying,
and one which the Chronicle would well
to heed, that "people who live in glass
houses shouldn't throw stones" We
would advise Pixlcy TO vacate and let his
mule drive the editorial gull inc0g.
THE project of turning the Colorado
river into the Colorado desert, and form
ing an immense fresh-water sea or lake
with an outlet to the gulf Of California,
was recently mentioned and discussed in
the OCeriaHd M0nthty. Since then the
newspaper press of this coast has COM
mented tavorably on the proposition and
it is being urged. 1t is indeed a good
project, and would undoubtedly turn the
burning wastes of Southern California
and Arizona into blooming and fruitful
garden.
"THE continuance of polygamy is re-
garded as an insult to the nation and n
reproach to American civilization," says
the San Francisco Chronicle in recent
article on the Mormons. Did not nearly
all the "old codgers mentioned in the
Bible have numerous wives, and were
they not favored Of the Lord? Even Sol
omon, in his wisdom, believed that it was
not good for man to be alone with one
wife. If Brigham Young can stand it
with fifty or sixty wives, we arc willing
he should.
THE REASON WnY.-Every reader Of
the Sacramento Union knows that that
paper never loses an opportunity to cry
down the Central Pacific Railroad, and
on the other hand it lavishes praise on
the Union Pacific. The Record says the
price of the Union was only two little
certificates of Credit Mobiier stock. The
Contract and Finance Company of the
Central Pacific probably knew better
what the Union was worth and didn't is
sue any stock for it.
WHERE Oh, WHERE.-The S. F.
Chronicle and Sacramento Bee insist that
Governor Booth will make his fight for
U. S. Senator within the Republican par
ty and nowhere else. The Sacramento
Union and its confcdcrates propose to
make fight for him outside the Repub-
lican party. Meanwhile the Governor,
like a certain little boy, has nothing to
say. We believe he has never yet sig
nifed his intention Of being a candidate.
INDICTED.-The Grand Jury Of jack
son county, Oregon, has indicted Scar
faced Charley, Hooker jim, One-eyed
Nose, Old Doctor Humphrey, Long Jim,
Boston Charley, Little Jim and Dave,
members Of Captain Jacks band of Mo-
does, for murder in the first degree. The
Sheriff won't arrest them until the wealth
er modcratcs. He objects to being scalp
ed when it is so cold.
STRIKING LIBERALITY.-A patriotic
and solt-sacrifcing Oregonian proposes to
transport Government freight from Rose
burg to the seat of the Modoc war, dis
tance oenearly 100 miles, for the nominal
sum Of thirty-6ve cents pound. And
yet we are told that Oregon people are
closc-iistcd, graspng, and all that sort Of
thing.
SOME school girl said that the Head
Assistant made faces Mt the Principal.
Consequently there is an extensive in
vestigation going on at the Broadway
Grammar school in San Francisco.
Hon. FRANK M. PIXLEY lately lee
tured in San Francisco, on "Our Street
Arabs; Who are Responsible for Them?"
He evidently don't know that "its nice
to be a father"
SAN FRANCISCO wants to know what
to do with "Our Boys?" Spank 'em.
