Stuck With Glue.

We shall never forget that eve.
ming we spent at Mugruder's
years ago. We admired Miss Ma.
gruder, and we went around to
see her. It was summer time,
and she sat upon the piazza.
The carpenter had been there that
day gluing up the rustic chairs on
the porchI so we took a seat on the
step, in fr)nt of Miss Magruder
where we could gaze into her
eyes and drink in her smiles. IT
seems probably that the carpenter
must have upset his glue pot on

we believed we, wouldn't. The
conversation had a sadder tone
after that, and we sat there tn ink
ing whether it would be better to
ask Miss Magfuder to withdraw
while we disTObed and went home
in Highland costume, or whether
we should give a terrific wrench
and then amhe down the yard

Magruder yaWned and said she
believed she would go to bed.
Then we suddenly asked her if
she thought her father would

cause we wanted to take them

were attached. Then we went

The Mercantile Glasses.

There is misunderstanding where
there should be none.
The farmers, pressed by poverty,
turn in their distress to that which is
nearest them, and they complain that
| the merchants i'll the cities are making
too much per centage Of profit from
them; hence follow Grange stores and
wholesale purchases by the Oranges ;
and from this follow bad blood and pre-
judices between the mercantile and az
ricultural classes.
Truth lies in the middle as usual.
The merchants have charged larger pro-
fits than were fair Or reasonable, to COW
er bad debts and slow payments; and
these have resulted not from dishonesty
on the part of the farmers, but from
the great burdens to which they are
subjected by bad laws.
The remedies are:
1st. That the merchants should re-
duce their rates Of profit as low as they
possibly can to meet the demands OF
the farmers.
I'd. That the farmers pay up their
old debts as soon as possible and adopt
hereafter the cash system. This will
enable merchants to sell at less rates Of
profit and make more money than by
the present system.
Sd. Let the merchants help to unite
the farmers by calling their attention
to the great evils under which they SUI
fer from high tariff and high transpor-
tation, and patent laws, and unite with
the farmers at the polls to correct these
evils.
There should be mutual forbearance
where now there is hostility.
The farmer should understand that II
is not the merchants keep him poor.
but the giant monopolies, sustained by
the Republican party, to which We have
alluded, compared with which the extra
cost of coffee or sugar, is as
nothing.
Let merchants and farmers reason to.
gether, and they will soon see that in
the main their interests are identical
| and that they are the common prey Of
the same plunderers.

How could we endure flag which car
ried robbery on one side and impover-
ishment on the other! Would the rob-
berry be any the less if we lived under
one flag! Would it not be the greater,
since the tie of brotherhood should for
bid injustice!''
Now then, let us suppose that, after
this negotiation, the French nation
blockaded all the ports Of the Gulf and
at the cannon mouth insisted on con-
trolling our commerce and taxing us
forty per cent. on all we ught,-what
would we do! =.
We would 90 to war:-to war like
that between Carthage and Rome,-in
which one nation or the other must
perish. For we would clearly perceive
that if we sold what we had to sell at
the worlds price and bought what we
had to buy at a price twenty to one
hundred per cent. above the world S
price there could be no future for US but
poverty and subjugation.
Now if all this be true, is it altered
by the fact that the course Of coloniza-
ton did not follow the line of the
French settlements in the great valley!
What is the difference between a
wrong inflicted by law and wrong in
hicted by cannon! Simply difference
in the uniform of the officers. The
cannon are little more brutal, but a
good deal more honest.

ago. And then, Joseph, how you woult
have set US forth-for instance, some
thing like this: ''The citizens o.
regardless Of party will not forget t

that wise patriot, that pure and honest
and spotless gentleman, &C., &C., who

Joseph, "the architect of a nation {

Now. Joseph, you did not buy us
SIMPLY because We acere not for safe.
That was all there was of it.
Then why do you abuse US!
Because man who is mt an lass. .
and who can't be bought, is supremely
dangerous. And a man who. without
money and without a newspaper can.
for years. agitate and disturb whole
people, must be slaughtered. As YOU
told a friend Of yours last winter, 10
seph, there is no resource but to skill
him-kill him. And :'could curses
kill as doth the mandrake groan'' you
would have made an end of US long ago.
But, Joseph, permit US to assure you,
you can't do it. The sick lion has got
upon his feet again, little battered in
the ribs and little weak in the legs, to
be sure, but he hopes to be able in time
to meet all corners; and, Joseph, he will
be happy to see either your heels OF
head at any time; for one end of you
Joseph. is just about as attractive a.
the other.
And so, Joseph, GU reroir. 'Wade

= State Rights.o

In the coming struggle Liberty will
find it's surest entertainment in the rights
Of the States and the reserved rights of
the People.
The People are the foundation of all
authority. They have, for governmental
purposes, delegated part of their power
to the States, and still another part to
the Nation but they have not confided
unlimited authority to either. The Con-
stitution Of the United States says:
1.-The powers not delegated to the United
States by the Constitution nor prohibited by
1t to the States, are reserved to the States
respectively, OR TO TIE PEOPLE,
The people have nothing to fear from
themselves; and little to fear from the
State governments but if despotism
comes at all it will come under the cuise
of concentrated, centralized National
authority
The pyramid of government then is
built in this wise:
LIST. The great, broad foundation of
individual rights, collectively repre-
sented in the People. and practically un-
limited, since the people have reserved
to themselves the right to alter, amend
and, if necessary, abolish the State and
National Constitutions.
Cd. The power of local government as
represented in the townships and cities.
Sd. The power Of local government as
represented in the counties.
4th. The State.
5til. The Nation.
The apex of this pyramid is the most
conspicuous part of it; it is that on
which the eye rests from afar off; there
the banners are displayed; but it is in
truth the least important part of the
whole great structure of human liberty.
Let us then preserve and defend the
Nation in all its just rights and dele
gated powers, but let it not intrench
upon the rights of the States or the
People.
The liberty, the prosperity, the hap
piness of the People is greater and
| nobler object than any form of law or
government in which it may express it.

the end. Such thing as correcting a
mistake is unheard of in that establish
ment.
So far. the statements contained in the
anti-monopoly address have withstood
the fire Of Republican criticism in a re-
markable way. 1t was to be expected
that sixteen pages Of closely printed
matter, bristling full of facts and stats
tics. would contain some errors; but so
far the Republicans have been unable
to point them out.

PHOENIX, June 17.-Work has been
commenced again on the dam in the
river. AS nearly everybody is busily
engaged cutting grain, but small
force of men are at work. In the
meantime the bitches are entirely dry
and those who are not fortunate enough
to possess wells are compelled to haul
water from the river. a number of
the trees are commencing to die. The
town presents dry appearance.
PRESCOTT, June 1.-THE fire yester-
day was more disastrous than at first
reported. The Miner building was
only saved by strenuous efforts. The
presses, type, ETC., were moved by the
citizens and scattered about the streets
in very promiscuous manner. Nearly
every case of type belonging to the
office was "pied.n 1t will be some
time before the Miner will be able to

time, by the courtesy of the military
authorities, an extra will be published

Associated Press and the Railroad
Company.

Some days ago the San Francisco
Bulletin printed dispatch from
Washington, intimating very point
eddy that the House Committee was
bribed to defeat an investigation of
the Central Pacific Contract and FL
nance Company's affairs. The dis
patch was, of course, manufactured for
the purpose of intimidating the Com
mittee, by J. w. SIMoNToN agent of
Of the Associated Press, and part own
er of the Bulletin and Call. That it
is false in every particular we presume
even Mr.. LUTTRELL and other UNI
compromising opponents of the rail-
road company will not pretend to
deny. There is perhaps, not even the
shadow of truth in the report, and no
one is more thoroughly conscious of
its falsity than the man who set it
afloat. The general reader has no.
ticed the Associated Press dispatches
are always antagonistic to the Central
Pacific Railroad Company, but it is
not everyone that understands the
motive which prompts this antag-
onism. 1t is this: The railroad tele-
graph lines destroyed the news mo-
nopoly so long held by the Associated
Press. The Pacific Coast Associated
Press is composed of the San Fran
cisco Bulletin and Call and the Sacra-
mento Union. These three papers are
the bitter enemies of the Central Pa
cific Railroad Company. But for the
telegraph lines built by that company,
these three papers would hold a mo-
nopoly of Eastern Geographic news,
and no other journal on the Pacific
coast could or would obtain line or
word of Eastern report until after it
had appeared in their columns. This
monopoly was worth thousands of
dollars per month to Messrs. FITCH,
PICKERING, SIMoNToN, MORRILL, and
ANTHONY. The Atlantic and Pacific
Telegraph Company using the railroad
wires have practically destroyed
the Associated Press monopoly,
and not only furnish other jour
mails with fresh news, but have
caused reduction of one-half in the
subscription price Of the old monopoly
papers. 1t is the venom engendered
through Mr.. SIMoNToN's hatred of
the opposition telegraph line that
colors and prejudices his dispatches
against the Central Pacific Railroad
Company. If Governor STANFORD
would refuse to allow the use of his
wires for the transmission of news
dispatches or lease his lines to the
Western Union, the Associated Press
would have nothing to say against the
Central people, and the three papers
we have named would soon forget all
about the Contract and Finance
frauds.

Will Forests Produce Rain?

BY a process of reasoning, which,
while it is somewhat vague, is yet, we
presume, entirely scientific, philoso-
piers demonstrate that the cultiva-
ton of forests is an effective means
OF producing rain. The reason why
this is, thus is reached through an
elaborate argument in which is set
forth the action of heat and cold, evap-
Grafton and condensation, all of which
we shall neither accept nor deny, but
simply assume that if science and phil
osophy are not at fault, Los Angeles
Valley will, in few years, be favored
with weekly, perhaps daily showers.
Already, for several miles around the
city, there is an almost continuous
grove of semi-tropical trees, and for
miles still farther the young trees
which shall extend this forest are al
ready growing. Standing on the high
ground to the northeast of the city,
one sees to the southeast, south, and
southwest, a dense growth of orange,
lemon, lime, and walnut trees. Many
OF these trees are twenty years old,
and but few of them are less than ten
years of age. The groves are spread
ing out over the valley so rapidly, we
can predict that within the next dec
ade the forest of trees will be contin-
uous for ten or fifteen miles around
the valley sides of the city. If forests
will produce rain, and we repeat the
philosophers say they will, this valley
will, in time, be blessed with frequent
and copious showers.
