An UNJUST CHARGE

Speaking Of the late California Legs
lAtare, the thoroughgoing. thick and
thin party organs Of both sides are say
ing that the blame Of sffseiing 50 few
beneficial changes lies upon the hide
-endent members. This j. ab01. the
coolest proceeding Of all. It reminds
one 81 ths man Who put out the FIRE be-
Meath the boilers aud then reproached
the engineer for not keeping up steam.
Who we're the msn that siifsd every
measure for the relief Of the people;
Wh5 hiHdered form: 4 sort Of hybred
alliance betSesn the most corrupt ele-
ments Of the Democratic and Republican
parties IN that State. They we're the
criminals. They showed how not to do
it with vengeance, yet now they and
their journals stand of and ieer, and ask,
Why vas not this reform effected or that
abuse corrected: For no other reason
in the world bat because they would not
permit those things to be done. Never
mind, q day Of reckoning is eomir g yet.
1t Is all very well fot 10; Of vsnal. tue.
serving political hacks Of both parties to
get together aud form a conspiracy
against the people and the speedy return
to An honest and equitable system Of tue
administration Of public affairs. One
says these parties are good enough for
them. Another that he intends to stick
10 bis Old love Yes, and a nice mess Of
corruption these same old antagonists
and loves present. One j. a. rotten as
the other. One side is in, and it has
become SO oGtrageously corrupt that its
most attached sdherepts are Disguised
with II. The other, whenever it has
lately had a chance, and they have not
been very many, has distinguished itself
in the same fashion. Look at Washing.
ton, New York and the South. 4 very
pretty sight they present. do they not:
II that will not do, then throw 10
them all you can find corruption enough
TO I'll ten acre grave yard But all this
is done under the shield Of one party or
the other, and forsooth a citizen or
journal must not find fault with but one
side. To carry this out the pronounced
party organs are trying to throw the H.
dependents 10 California into disrepute
FIRST they were Soreheads, next Dolly
Nariens; nov they ore bilks, and 10
forth, because they did not succeed in
performing all they tried to do. Granted
they did not. The reason why We have
briefly alluded to- Bot this they did do.
They dealt tue gigantic monopoly OF the
Pacific Coast such a staggering blow, that
not man dare come before the people
as candidate Tor public favor, and say
lie is in favor Of extending or continuing
its crushing power. They did this, aud
Of Itself it was a great victory. And they
did more. They did not send a man to
the United States Senate who was merely
paid attorney Of the railway. They

and ability, whom the railroad or the
lobby cannot bay. They did this, and if
they never did anything more, they de-
serve well Of their fellow citizens But
they ana their coadjutors will do more
yet; and when they do clear out the dirt
and mire from the National and State
administrations, We will see who are the
orignators, the advocates OF. and who
cause these beneficial changes, the indie
pendents or the hile.bound, narrow
minded men who set down and declare
that nothing good could come ont OF
Nazareth. We do not think it will be
the latter, We do not indeed.
