Eckel as President of the Board Of Health, and
therefore expressed their views quite freely in
regard to it as well rs other matters that have
proved Objectionable. We advise them to pre-
serve their equanimity, as certainly the Repuo-

number of distinguished characters than have
heretofore been embraced in its limits. We

A Prophecy.

VICTORIA Woodruff has uttered a
prophecy. She predicts that Califor-
MIA will become the banner State in
the great free love movement. While
we have not unbounded faith in VIC
ToRIA's prophetic powers, we should
not be In the least astonished to see
this one Of her predictions fully veri-
fled. California is fine field for this
or any other vague, theoretical, in-
practical, absurd ism or doctrine. AS
whole, California men and women are
honorable and virtuous. AS COM
munity, our moral character is as
high and pure as that of any given
number of men and women honoring
the American eagle as their favorite
bird and looking upon the star-span-
gled banner as their national emblem.
But in proportion to our population we
have as many theorists, Utopian
dreamers and dissatisfied seekers after
earthly impossibilities as may be found
anywhere in the world. Many men
who think more of somebody else's
wife than they do Of their own; women
who think other women's husbands
better than their own; men and wom-
en- both who have no very high opin-
ion of mans faith nor woman's con-
stancy; husbands and wives who are
dissatisfied with their present compan-
ions and would be dissatisfied with any
that they were compelled to remain
with longer than q month. All these
will become converts to VIcToRIA's
doctrine. That we have enough of
this class to make ours the banner
State in the free love crusade, is more
than we care to hazard our reputation
as reliable, truth-telling journalist
by saying. Yet VICTORIA has said it,
and we repeat that we should not be
surprised if the result proved her
prophecies.
Los Angeles daily herald., 1874-07-09

THE Supreme Court of Massachu-
setts has rendered q decision which
appears to be both unjust and ludi-
crous. On the question of the legal
right of the Board of School Trustees
to exclude ladies from seats in such
bodies, the Court held that the School
Committee is the sole judge of its own
membership. Ladies had been elected
School Trustees, but the Board of Ed
ucation refused to issue their certifi-
Gates of election. The point is little
too fine for practical, everyday life. If
o Board of School Trustees have this
power, has not Board of Supervisors
the right to arrogate to themselves the
same power, and if SO, why may not a
ring in such a Board keep all whom
they do not wish to sit among them
out Of their seats altogether? In the
case of these Boston ladies, the deci-
sion of the Court is direct setting
aside of the will of the people. Their
election was legal and constitutional,
and they are entitled to their certifi-
Gates.

The Second Advent churches of this

Cucamonqo Homestead Association.

Messrs. HELLMAN, THOMPSON, HAN
SEN, MILES and others have just re-
turned from Cucamongo, where they
have been to make an examination
and preliminary arrangements for de-
veloping the water supply for the use
of the shareholders. Mr.. HANSEN,
who knows every inch of this county
and who has followed his profession of
surveyor and engineerin it for twenty
years, pronounces this homestead
tract the most beautiful location and
the finest soil for orange and grape
culture that can be found in the
orange belt. 1t has excellent drain
age, which is just as necessary as an
abundance of water. Mr.. HANSEN
after measuring the stream at the
point of divertion, and calculating the
velocity and fall and leaving the
broadest margin for dry seasons, ETC.,
estimates seventeen millions of gal
Ions as the quantity that will be de-
livered daily Through twenty-five
inch pipe) into the large reservoir on
the company's land, irrigating daily,
if necessary, $4,000 trees. From this
reservoir, six-inch pipe will supply
the town and similar pipes will supply
each shareholder and the public park.
We expect that Cucamongo, ere long,
will be the most inviting town outside
of Los Angeles.
