a PERTINENT QUESTION.

In speaking Of the present contest be-
tween the friends of licensing the sale Of
ardent spirits and those who believe the
retail traffic in liquor should be absolutely
prohibited by law, we have spoken of the
social feature Of liquor-drinking in Cali
fornia, as compared with other States in
which prohibition has been tried, Thus
far majority of the elections have been
carried by the "No License" or Tenn
perance party, and the victories they
achieved Included some of the most i'm
portant places in which elections were
held. Presuming that in other places
yet to hold elections proportionate results
will follow, we are led to the considera-
ton Of a question growing out Of the
movement, which has already began to
awaken the attention Of the press.
The country, and especially the mining
sections is filed with men who have no
family ties to make their homes pleas
ant place to remain after the labors OF
the day are ended. In this class Of men
the saloons have found their chief source
Of support. The social instinct, which
leads men to seek the companionship of
their fellows, found its opportunity of
qualification in a resort to the hotels and
saloons, and it was used, not only by
! those who engaged in the games and con-
vivialities Of the place, but by those who
never INDUCED in such pastimes. They
resorted there to talk over the current po-
litical and other news of the day, to read
the papers and to crafty their social de-
sires generally. Local Option, if it can
stand the test of the courts and be en-
forced, viii close saloons and like places
of resort, but it will not change the natu-
raj instincts of these who have been in
the habit Of frequenting them. 1t was
not solely the desire to indulge in drink,
for that could have been gratifed at home
at less expense, but it was the love OF
companionship and tina. will remain. The
closing Of such places viii be felt by ma
ny who are Temperance in principle and
who, as such, are classed among the sup
porters Of the present temperance move
ment. 1t becomes q question whether
there will not be drinking carried on to
as great or greater an extent than before,
unless some plan be devised by the tenn
perance people to furnish places where
men can meet and indulge in social recre-
alton. Such have been found necessary
in other countries whore prohibitory laws
were in force, and have been tried with
good effect in other places, in opposition
to the saloons. Coffee houses, and other
resorts Of like character conducted on
strictly temperance principles, have pro-
ven great allies to the cause Of temper
ance and, in our opinion, will become q
necessity to the permanent and entire
success Of the movement in . country
which possesses the same social features
which are presented here.

KILLING AN EAGLE. - The Cedar
Springs (Mich.) Clipper relates that four
small children by the name of Benham,
living some three miles from that village,
the oldest a girl Of some ten summers,
and three little boys, the youngest four
years old, started one day to carry dinner
to their father, who was at work some
distance from his residence. They had
not proceeded far when they discovered a
large bird sitting on stump. One Of
the little fellows exclaimed to his sister ::
Don't you want turkey for dinner ?"
and picking up a club made for his game.
But the biped, instead Of flying away,
darted down toward the children. The
little chap who had armed himself with a
club, struck at the monster as it approach
ed, and happened to hit it in such a way
as to disable it, when they all Joined in
beating it to death. 1t proved to be one
Of the largest sized American eagles,
with monstrous talons, and measured
seven feet from tip to tip Of its wings.

THE Chinese labor question has taken
a new phase. A contractor on govern
ment work at Mare Island employed
some of the hcathen on his contract, at
which the citizens Of Vallejo were justly
indignant. The matter came up in Con-
gress. where Luttrell thought he saw his
opportunity, and waited in with a leso-
luton to withhold pay from the contract
or to the amount Of the Chinese labor he
had employed. lie waltzed out again,
with the consciousness that the House had
voted him down without a division. The
calibre Of the Uhion'5 pet is pretty well
taken in Congress by this time, and he
will accomplish about as much as he did
while a member of the Legislature-draw
his pay. Our people will learn some
thing by little experience.
Meanwhile, there should be law to
apply to cases Of this kind. The work
Of the government should be done by its
own people, and should be paid for libcr-
ally. The employment of class of peo-
pie who are not and cannot become citi-
zens, merely because they work cheap,
should not be permitted.

HISTORY OF a MONTGOMERY STREET
FIFTY-VARA LoT.-In the year 1s49, a
company was organized in Boston to en-
igrate to California by way Of Cape Horn.
Some Of the party heard of an old sailor
named William Hicks, who had been to
California previously. The promise Of a
free passage induced him to accompany
the party on the voyage. Hicks remem-
bered that Lcidersdortf had induced him
to get the grant Of fifty-vara lot in the
city, (then Yerba Buena), and he so often
kept wondering what had become of "his
lot," that Hicks lot" became quite a
by-word on the ship (the Byoohly1l). In
due time the party arrived here and scat
tered, as usual, in different parts Of the
State. One of the party, some time af-
forwards, met Hicks, and laughingly ask
ed him about his lot. Hicks memory
being thus refreshed, he secured the SER
vices Of Aunis Merrill, for the north halt
of the fity-vara. Merrill obtained pos
session Of the lot, the remaining half Of
which Hicks leased for term of years,
after which he died, leaving an infant son.
This son became Of age a few years ago,
and receiving an offer of S225, 900 for the
remaining half of the lot from Flood &
O'Brien, he accepted the same and re-
turned to the Eastern States with the
money. The entire fifty-vara is now
worth nearly 100000, and will shortly
be improved by a frst-class building.
Hicks lo;" therefore, provided for
tune for all concerned, though on the
voyage it was a standing joke on the old
man x n Real ES{Ofe Ci3r3iIu3.

TIE REASON WHY.-The Sacramento
Union kindly informs the public why
Horace Greeley was defeated for Presi-
dent in 1872. 1t was because he did not
everywhere and at all times proclaim
himself convert to the peculiar railroad
theories which the Union invented some
five or six years ago. The people gener-
ally believed that the election Of Grant
was due to other causes, But it is well that
they are at last apprised Of the true cause.
1t may rot be exactly pertinent in this
connection, but we would like to have
some of the U,ton's toadying followers
tell us what that powerful journal" has
accomplished in the way Of railroad re-
form in California.-Petaluma Argus.

TRounLE IN UTAH.-Gon. Morrow.
commander Of the troops at Camp Doug
las, overlooking Salt Lake, has rebuked
Mormon arrogance rather roughly, break
ing open a jail door and releasing a SOL
dier prisoner who had been confined by
the Mormon police on some trivial charge.
We presume Gen. Morrow, (who is a
thorough soldier and and gentleman
has some authority for this seemingly
bold step, which is tantamount to dec
laration Of martial law, for the civil law
in this country is superior to the military
or any other arm of the Government.

velopments in this case.
