iron hands across the continent; but
it is important to remember, and l
wish to impress it upon you that these
alone do not constitute the greatness of q
State. The greatness Of a State depends
upo,, The character Of ats people. The real
worth of State consists in the worth of the
individuals who compose it. National pro-
gress Is the result of individual industry,
energy, and uprightness: while national de-
cay is The result of individual idleness, sell
fishness, and vice. The noblest attribute of
humanity is that "inbred loyalty to virtue
which Is ever willing to serve her without
livery" and the highest patriotism consists
not 30 much in the enactment of laws and
the perpetuation of institutions as IN
the persistent effort to contribute to the
moral elevation and Improvement OF the In
diyidual citizen. Notwithstanding the
boosted progress of the age, its tendency Is,
I fear, to a gross materiaiism to the subordi-
nation of the laws of right to the laws of
matter-to the sacrifice of the moral and the
abstract to the practical and expedient; 1t

ment, but in contributing to the moral ele-
walton and Improvement of the individual
citizen. The public safety and the national
honor depend upon the force of individual
character. Striking illustrations Of this fact
were here given by the speaker. -.
What glorious privilege it is, he.contin-
ued, for the young men of the South TO
catch inspiration from the noble example oil

Mr.. Goode then discussed the question,

Eulogizing in glowing terms the State

COMPULSORY EDUCATION.

We are informed that the Superin-
tendent of Public Instruction of the
State, in his next report to the Cover
nor of California, will recommend and
advocate the adoption of the system
of compulsory education for the chill
dren of all colors and races. 1t seems
that 36 per cent. of the children of for
cign parents, specially those of Cath
OlicS and Pagans, ever attend the
schools, and the security and we'll
being of society demand different
system.
Inasmuch as we are ardent advocates
of the dissemination of instruction
amongst all classes of society
equally, under the conviction that
universal education must be the
result, and that this will bring at no
remote period the general happiness of
all humanity, we cannot but rejoice at
the determination of the Superinten-
dent of Public Instruction of the State,
and we hope that he will carry it out
as soon as possible. No man has y
right to be ignorant when his igno-
rance may be injurious to his fellow
beings La CrOnica.
Los Angeles daily herald., 1873-11-12
THE CURSE OF CALIFORNIA.

The following from the Chicago
Post, covers the whole ground, and ex-
plains our views to nicely:
A Washington dispatch mentions
the issue from the General Law Office
of a patent for an old Mexican grant in
California, covering six square leagues
in San Luis Obispo county. 1t is add
ed that there are now only two OF
these Mexican grant claims on the
docket at Washington, but about a
hundred and fifty of them are still to
come up, being delayed awaiting sur
veys or other fOrmalities in California.
Congress could not do better thing
for that State than to take such action
as may be necessary to summarialy
squelch these claims, nine-tenths Of
which are utterly fraudulent, either by
indemnifying the honest claimants to
a moderate amount and sending the
dishonest ones to the penitentiary or
in any other feasible and)constitutional
fashion. And in addition to that,
there should be legislation, either State
or national, to compel the cutting up
Of the six or seven hundred great
ranches, the claims of which have al
ready been confirmed. Land monOpo-
ly is even a worse curse to California
than railroad grabs, and she cannot
hope for anything like substantial
prosperity and rapid development UNI
til the system which puts whole coun-
ties into the hands of single grantees,
and renders it impossible for the culti-
vators of the soil to become its owners,
is completely abolished. Canada,
dozen years ago, found herself COM
PEELED to abolish the seignoral tenure,
in order to get rid of a similar nuis-
ance. 1t is a wretchedly poor policy
which surrenders the soil of a new
American State to system which be-
longs to long-past age, and of which
older communities have had serious
trouble in relieving themselves.

an injury to the wells of their neigh
bors, and it is certainly Il serious i'll
jury to the public roads; to enforce
this provision the law should provide
penalty for each infractiOn of the law
of sufficient amount to ensure its et1-
cheney.
wish to call particular attention to
article 4th. Any efficient law that is
based upon the principle therein en-
nunciated, viz, property and not per
sOnal representations, l feel perfectly
confident will enable us to do well, and
promptly, all that we desire to do. No
man will fear excessive taxation, when
the property itself imposes the tax.
A careful reading of the foregoing
will satisfy any reasonable person that
there is no disposition to interfere with
"vested rights" but on the contrary
there is very strong determination
to abrogate and do away with "vested
wrongs" My idea is to have q law
that will enable the property owners of
each district to form an Involuntary
Joint Stock Company, and to compel
every piece of property to pay its
share of needed improvement. Ii u
majority of the property owners vote
in favor of the tax, it is safe to suppose
that the improvement is needed, if the
vote is against it, it is safe to suppose
that it is not.
This world must move on, no
"balky mule" can be permitted to
stop the car of Progress; all who OPP
pose it's onward movement, must be
crushed as relentlessly as are the
miserable victims of degraded SUI
perstition under the wheels of the ear
of Juggernaut.
These are my views of what the law
should endeavOr to effect. put it be-
fore the public in order to elicit
criticism and discussion. Some one
must make the first move, and make
it-there is no time to be lost; let every
man who has an opinion Of his Opn
put it on paper, and send it in. ''In the
multitude Of cOunsellors there is wis
DOM" We want not only strong and
efficient law, but we want the pery
best taW, that can be made; we want
neither State, nor county aid; all we
want is law that will enable us to
act we can do the work ourselves. /
remain yours, very respectfully.

The first of October, TIE Los ANGEL Es HER-
AID, a daily and weekly newspaper, will
make its appearance. The Daily will be a
neat and tastlly printed seven-colnmn news
paper, newsy rather than literary in charac-
ter. The Weekly will be a siX-cOlumn, eight
page paper, and will contain the most impor-
tant matter that has previously appeared in

1t is proposed that the HERALD shall be an
unbOught advocate of every interest pertain
ing to Southern California and Arizona, and
a Jealous worker in all things that shall tend
to benefit the State. In Il word it will be in
close communion with the People. In its col
umns, from time to time will be found mat
ters of interest to the California Farmer, Me-
chanic, Merchant, Laborer, and all classes of
Producers; and it will also contain reading
matter suited to the Home Circle. r a. r. s +
The HERALD will be an Independent Demo-
cratic journal and its efforts directed to sweep
ing from power and place those now misman-
aging the affairs ofthe Nation. For the accom-
plshment ofthis end, it will hail with satisiac-
ton the cooperation Of the members of all Par

stitution, without national interference
The HERALD will oppose thieving and pecu-
lation. No man rightly owns n dollar until
he earns it. Every dollar which is taken
from the public treasury or private. purse
without a just return is robbery, and he who
takes this money is n thief Believing this,
