AN effort is being made to induce
HENRY LARKIN of Ell Dorado County,
life long Democrat, to accept the
nomination of the Independent party
for Governor. 1t is hardly probable
he will accept, but if he should, it
would be with the express under
standing that he did so as Democrat
without surrendering a particle of his
old time principles, and on these con-
.ditions it will be difficult to see
wherein the party will be doing
better than to support the regular
Democratic nominee. AS stragetic
effort toward carrying the State, it
would prove lamentable failure.
Democrats would not support a man
who had accepted the nomination OF
another party and Independents
could not be induced to vote for can
didate who accepted the nomination
with the express understanding that
in loaning his name he surrendered
none of his Democracy.

Another Curious Document.

We have not seen the full text of
the platform adopted by the Republi-
can State Convention, but judging
from the summary which has been
telegraphed we are inclined to regard
it mass of contradictions sort of
thimble"rigging affair, intended to
cover the little joker which you some-
times see and sometimes don't see.
GRANTS administration is endorsed,
which is shouldering an immense load
of mismanagement which must be at
tributed to ignorance or malice. 1t
pretends to accept the Presidents
letter on the third term as final set
tlement of that question, but how it
was settled we are left in the dark
until we come to the resolution limit
ing the Presidential tenure If office to
two terms, which was opposed by COR
HAM, and being opposed by him was
of course voted down. The defeat of
this resolution is strong presumptive
evidence that the Republican party of
California is not averse to GRANTS
running for the third or even the tenth
term. The plank setting forth that
the cost of State and county govern
ments should be reduced one-half is
not new. 1t is an old, rotten, flimsy
dodge, which has been resorted to by
every Republican convention held
within the past twelve years. They
always preach economy until election
and practice extravaganza from the
time they get into office until they are
invited by the people to step down and
out. The demand that the Legislature
assume control of the lakes and rivers
of the State is good idea, and
was furnished the Committee on
Platform and Resolutions by the HER
AID. We are pleased to see that the
members of the Convention have read
and studied our articles on the neces-
sity for State system of irrigation.
The question must become one of
great Importance in short time, and
the party devising and inaugurating
the best system, will attain great
strength therefrom. The thunder and

Loss Of the Steamer vicksburS.

MONTREAL, June llth.-We have
the following particulars of the loss Of
the steamer City of Vicksburg, which
was sunk by the ice between Mon
treal and Liverpool on the 1st instant.
About 40 persons were drowned. The
steamship Vicksburg was an iron
vessel, and considered the best ship OF
the Dominion line. She was about
$500 tons. Value, 1926, 200; fully in
sured in England. Florence & Co.,
agents of the Dominion line, say the
Vicksburg had only Is steerage pas
sengers on board.

of the Quebec warned the Captain oi

that the Quebec was enabled to gel

Honest Assessment.

For once in her history, San Fran
cisco seems to have the promise of a
fair and honest assessment of her
property. So far as the assessment
has progressed, the assessable property
is more than double that of last year.
The striking feature developed is that
while the property of the poor man and
the man of moderate means retains
about the same value, that of the mil
lionaire and banks and other corpora
tions is found to be double and In some
instances ten times greater than shown
by the Assessors books one year ago.
1t is now believed that the assessment
of San Francisco will aggregate this
year double that of any previous year.
So much for an honest assessment of
San Francisco. The rascality which
has prevailed in San Francisco in the
evasion of taxes heretofore has no
doubt been practiced to a certain ex-
tent in every county In the State. The
exposition in the great city furnishes
a strong hint to the people of the inte-
rior and offers the remedy for the ces-
sation of excessive taxation. The
remedy is in the hands of the Gran
gers, Let them resolve that a uniform
system of taxation shall prevail
throughout the State-that the man
of $50, 900 shall be taxed in proportion
ate ratio with the man of $1,000--and
we shall have source of revenue Ca
pable of meeting the expenses of gov
ernment, even though the rate of tax
alton does not exceed one-half the
present figures.

mand that the people shall exact
pledges from candidates for the Legis-
ture that they will reduce freights and
fares, Is stolen from the "reformers,"
who used it so successfully to fight
their way into the last Legislature;
and, once there, forgot their pledges
and the people. This sort of roar has
become so familiar that 1t frightens
no one. But the speech of GoRHAM,
In support of this resolution and his
bitter denunciation of the railroad
company, Is the most amusing feature
of the play. 1t reminds one of the
devil playing at preaching. GEo. c.
GoRHAM denouncing the railroad
company! Why, It's unnatural! Pre-
posterous! 1t is the pauper swearing
at the almshouse; the beggar striking
at the hand that gives him penny.
Oh, no; 1t cannot be. GEORGE Is a
good little boy, and wouldn't strike
his father. He said that plank was
"only what was called for" by which
he meant that 1t was the treacle with
which the reformers" caught their
flies, and he wanted to try the same
game. The resolution that classes all
and colors are entitled to equal
educational facilities, is ali art
f,,n hoi IN foh
the negro vote. They caught other
game with that same bait two years
ago, but our colored fellow-citizen does
not yet occupy a promiscuous seat in
the public school. The announcement
that all attempts to prevent colored
citizens from exercising the right of
suffrage mus; be met as efforts to re-
vive the civil war, sounds well. 1t
has melo-dramatic tone and Is a sort
of semi-official announcement that the
war has not ended and shall not if the
Republican party can prevent it. AS
whole, the platform is tissue Of
demagogical claptrap such as only
men like SARGENT, GoRHAM and
PHELPS could weave together; it is
manly and frank in nothing; it is
evasive, hollow and deceptious in
everything. 1t will deceive no one
save its authors, and the intelligent
voters of California will throw it aside
as a specimen Of hypocrisy wanting
even the merit of partial cnncealment.

HERAI.D We noticed letter from "Ob-
server" who two years ago sold bis
beautiful home" In Centralia, Illi-
nois, and came to California. and still
he is not happy.
LIFE IN ILLINOIS.
In our boyhood days We chased The
deer where Centralia now Is situated,
and being interested In property near
there we feel disposed to tell what we
know of Los Angeles county and Cen.
tralia. We landed In Los Angeles
January 28th, 1874, and have never
regretted the change.
.af PRICE OF LANDS.
As to the price at which lands could
have been bought in the limits of Los
Angeles since he came here, with an
abundance of water, we refer him to
our friend Judge O'Melveny, who
lived for years In Centralia. AS to
the welcome we received here we had
no reason to complain, and we had no
$25, 900 either.
WORTH MAKES THE NAN.
A mans position In society here, as
elsewhere, Is according to his worth.
II he was worth nothing at home he
will be ditto here. People have to
work the "year round" here as we'll
as in Centralia. We have yet to see
the first sober and Industrious man
begging for work since our stay here
If "Observer'' came here to "pick up
a living" he struck the wrong place.
Gold notes don't grow on bushes here
more than they do on (" Crooked
creek" near Centralia.
LABOR OF FARMING.
We spent sixteen years on farm
near Centralia, and know something
about farming there, and most en-
phatically deny it being attended with
more labor here than there; and we
venture the assertion that more money
is yearly made here or In Gospel
Swamp from ten acres planted ia corn
than fifty acres of the best land in
clinton or Marion county, ILLINOIS.
ADVICE TO FRIENDS.
We tell our friends and relatives to
do as we did. If you feel disposed,
come here to live; if not, stay away.
"Observer" need not "slip around
silly" among his friends to sell his
farm, We have a farm within ak
miles of Centralia, containing over
two hundred acres and we'll improved,
which We will exchange for land in
Los Angeles county. Send "Obser-
ver' to Santa Ana and we will show
him vegetation that will put anything
near Centralia to shame.
