How To EDIT-The London Spectator
having been asked by a correspondent,
"What is the liability of an editor to his
personal friends ?'' replies:
'Strictly speaking, he should have no
friends He should attack his own faith
er if he disapproves his speeches, or
criticise his wife's last book if he thinks
it rubbish. The journalist is bound, as
the Statesman is bound, to do his duty
and take the consequences. He might
be little more gentle in his language,
little more apologetic in his tone, but
the attack must not be deprived of Its
efficiency for any personal cOnsidera-
tion whatever"

rHE GAME OF LIFE,
or,
Go it Alone.
BY JOHN q. SAKE.

There's a game much in fashion. think It's
called Euchre,
Though I've never played il Tor pleasure or
lucre,
In which, when the cards are in certain condi-
tions,
one OF them cries, in a confident tone
q think might venture TO 90 Il alone"
While watching the game, Ills a whim OF the
bard's
4 moral 20 draw from the skirTnish in cards,
And % fancy he finds In the trivial strife
Some excellent hints for the battle OF life.
Where, whether the prize be a ribbon or
throne,
The winner is ne who can $50 1t alone"
When great GaHHeo proclaimed that the
world
In regular order was oeaslessly whirled,
and got-not a convert for all or his pains,
But only deri>ion, and prison, and chains
III moves, for all thai,r was his answering
For he knew, like the earth, he could 60 it
alone"
When kepler, with intellect piercing afar,
Discovered the laws OF each planet and star,
And doctors who ought to have Landed his
name
Dcrided his learning and blackened his fame
81 can't wait" he replied. "tili the truth you
shall own"
For he felt in his heart he could SEQ it alone"
Alas' for the player who idly depends
In the struggle Of lie upon kindred and
friends.
Whatever the value Of blessings like these,
They can never atone for inglorious ease,
Nor comfort the coward who finds, with a
groan,
That his erutches have lef; him to "Go it
alone.T
There is something, no doubt, in the hand you
may hold
Health, family, culture, wit, beauty and gold
Is each, in its way, a most excellent card
Yet the game may be lost, with all these for
your own,
Unless you've the courage to go i alone"
In battles OF business, Whatever the game;
In law or in love il is always the same;
In the struggle for power, or scrabble for pelf,
let this be your motto: "Rely on yoursclfsr
For whether the prize De a ribbon OF throne,
The victor Will be- who can $50 il alone"

To INITIATE AN ECHO.-It is impossi-
ble for ventriloquist to produce an
echo in a room of ordinary size, as the
walls, being SC near, would cause the
sounds TO be blended, and would only
produce one impression on the ear; and
yet 4 skillful ventriloquist can with
ease initiate, in 4 room, mountain
echo. We give the instructions, as it is
very amusing:
Turn your back to the listeners;
whistle loud several short quick notes,
just as if you were whistling to a dog;
then as quick as possible after the last
note, and as softly and subdued as pos
sible TO be heard, whistle about a third
the same number of notes, but it must
be in the same note or pitch; this will
cause the last note to appear Just like
an echo at great distance. This imi-
tation, if well done, causes much sur
prise to those listening. The same
thing can be done by shouting any sem
tence, such as, "Hallo, you, there"' or,
"Ship ahoyw Let your voice be formed
close to the lips; in the same pitch or
note, speak the same words very sub
dued, and formed at the back of the
mouth. This is very simple, yet eff

Property Rights of Women in California

I Although the Golden State has not
emancipated its mothers and daughters
( by opening 10 them the elective fran
chise, it is rapidly approaching thereto
| by obliterating from its statutes one relic
I OF slavery and feudal barbaric rule after
another. It's latest movement in this
direction has been an amendment which
gives To the married woman equal prop
/ erty rights with the unmarried, or the
femme sole, thus elevating the sacred
marriage union by building it upon the
rock of equality, Instead of the quick
sands and shoals of womanly subsection,
which has caused so much infinite do
mestic misery from the days of Nam
| tippe TO those of modern divorce.
Section 9l4 of the new code Of State
laws reads as follows:
SIC. 9l4. When a married woman,
entitled to an estate i'm fee, is authorized
by power to dispose of such estate dur
| ing marriage, she may by notice OF such
power create any estate which she might
create il unmarried.
In business point of view this Sec
ton gives woman unlimited equality,
since if she can procure sufficient capital
to engage in any bread-earniag pursuit,
and if she should, like man, succeed in
amassing a fortune thereby, the law Will
not stand i'm her way, but enfranchise
her from her husbands control and i3lse
DIRT, the same as though she were In-
married, rendering her safe not only
from his creditors, but also from himself
if he wished to appropriate her earnings.
The Los Angeles Star in commenting
upon this amendment remarks that "it
! is the corner stone of WOman's Rights
and adds that if the ballot is refused
to women after this, society will be
greatly in fault, since when woman
proves that she is competent to engage
successfully in the breadearning avO-
cations of life, she is certainly fit to
vote. While we heartily congratulate
the Star upon its enlightened views,
which, after all, are only those OF COM
mon justice, we aver that if being capa-
ble of self-suppOTt, or successfully en-
gaging in the business avOcations Of life,
/ be IA fit test of full citizenship, then
/ thousands upon thousands of women in
| the length aud breadth of our land are
as fully entitled to the ballot as men.
Woman has proved that nOtwith-
standing legal, social and educational
/ inequality, she is capable of not only
| self-suppOrt, but of the maintenance of
others dependent upon her eXertions;
and the reason why she is so seldom the
architect of fortune, is the result of all
these combined causes. With legal bar
riers removed, however, her progress
| freedomward will be more rapid; so we
bid our California sisters God speed.
May they, through the protection o.
their laws, march rapidly on the roaC
which shall lead to golden and green.
back rewards; since, when they have dis
covered the philosophers stone, the bal
lot will be theirs, as woman's poverty
seems to be the chief obstacle in the
way of its attainment.-TOlcdO Journal

The Political FuTURE.-The Sacra-
mento Union, in an article ON the politi-
cal situation, says:
There will be two parties, most GER
tainly; but the second one, three or four
years hence, will not be the Republican
nor the Democratic in fact, whatever it
may be in name. 1t will be composed
of the odds and ends of all the old par
ties. 1t will contain Republicans, seek
ing Capitalization and the enlargement
of the spoils of Office; Democrats con-
piring to fasten heavy debt on the ma
ton to pay for the emancipated slaves,
and others-native and foreign, of the
railway rigade-using the power of cap
ital to enslave the people and convert
the republic into an empire. 1t will be
strong and q dangerous party, from
the cohesiveness Of the plunderers that
will compose it. If it can manage to Sc
cure tho vas. cmoluments of the Federal
Government and the President of the
United States, We may then begin to
count the future years of the Republic
on the fingers of our hands. This is the
enemy the Peoples Independent party
has to prepare for. Past names amount
to nothing in tho political calculations Of
the future. The new party is not hated
more by the Democrats in Ohio than by
Republicans in California. In every
case the hatred is inspired by consci-
BUSINESS that the new party is a mortal
enemy, and the fight it offers is one to
the death. Between Democratic dema-
gogues and Republican plunderers there
is a chance for compromise by division
of the spoils, and an equal share of the
corruption money which the corporations
can afford to pay for such laws as they
desire. With the new party there is no
more hope of compromise than in fight
between ferret and q rat. The men
are called on to take their places each
with the side he loves best. The people
will make up their opinion accordingly
as their representatives place themselves.
In this State the last contest has been
fought between the people and the Dem.
ocratic party, the people and the Repub-
lican party. Henceforth we shall have
but two parties: The people on the one
side, the corporations and the tools or
| the other.

PoLITICAL PARTIES score of new
parties, with national purposes, have
been started in the last fifty years, and
only two, the Know Nothing and Repub-
lican, acquired national character, and
they did not succeed until after more
than ten years. The American excite
ment prevailed in Baltimore and Phila.
delphia as early as 1874, and did not die
ont until 1857 In 1865 it carried Cali
fornia. The Anti Slavery party began
in 1896, held the balance of power in
lsi4-when it could have elected Clay
in lS4S turned into the Free-Soil party.

candidate in the field for President Had
the Wings adopted tree-soil platform at
any time before 1866, the Republican
party would never have been organized.

THE Conquest OF NORTHERN
MEXICO AGAIN.

A few DAYS since mention was made in
these columns of the probable conquest
by Americans of the Northern States OF
Mexico According to a brief outline of
the project the Texas Pacific Railroad is
to be constructed from both termini, the
work to be finished about the middle of
the route, somewhere near FL Paso.
Some Is, 900 laborers will be engaged on
the road, and when the work is COM
pleted they will be discharged in a cOun-
try where il will be impossible for them
to obtain employment, and as such men
are generally improvident and without
money, they will be glad to accept any
thing that may offer. How these men
are to be utilized is thus stated: A
society has been organized, with head
quarters at New Orleans, composed ex-
clusively of army officers of the Union and
Confederate armies, no one being eligible
who has not attained the rank Of
captain. Some weeks before the compile
ton of the railroad, these gentlemen will
be sent forward in detaehments, make
themselves personally acquainted with
the laborers, and on the discharge OF the
latter they will attempt to organize them
into an army. the commissariat and
camp equipage to be furnished by CAPT
talsts who back them, and they will theE
march over the Northern States of Mex.
leo and raise the flag of independence il
each of them. The people of these
States are expected to look favorably oil
the enterprise, and offer no molestatior
or interference, and the Government o
Mexico will be powerless to prevent it
The next step will be annexation TO thu
United States by vote of the people.
