No Chief Justice for President.


Was the career of the late Chief Justice of the
United States not sufficiently instructive, that
the name OF Mr.. Waite should be suggested for
the Presidency? After the unfortunate nomi-
nations to the chief place upon the bench that
were first made by the President. that of Mr.
Waite was accepted with satisfaction as that of
an excellent lawyer and most worthy man,
against whom no word could be breathed except
that for 30 great an office name more gener-
ally familiar seemed to be most ftting. Chief
Justice Waite fulflls his duties with quiet dig
nty. When he took his seat 1t was the general
conviction that political ambition ne longer sat
upon the highest bench, and that the country
would be spared the spectacle which had panied
IT. The attempt to drag his name into the con-
Lost of next year is in every way unfortunate,

patches received last night from vari-
Gus places throughout the State, from
Shasta to Santa Barbara, confirm the
reports previously published Of dam
age to the crops by the late rain storm.
In the southern counties the damage
will be principally confined to the hay
and feed. In Ventura it is thought
the corn crop will be benefited. In the
central part of the State the grain is
much injured in the stock, and great
deal of that standing is badly lodged.
The late wheat in SOnOma county is
benefited and the rain is considered
on the whole an advantage to that
county. There is no damage to crops
in the extreme north. Considerable
injury to the fruit trees is reported
from the foot hills, caused by the

How to Improve the Park.

This city owns block of excellent
land which it is expected some day in
the future, perhaps hundred years
hence, will be converted into park,
laid out in walks, and set out in orna-
mental trees. AT this time it is only
partially enclosed, and during the
spring and summer seasons it is COW
cred with luxurious crop of malva.
1t is an unsightly waste, and some-
thing should be done to improve it's
appearance. In the Eastern States
the method commonly resorted to by
towns and cities having unimproved
blocks without the means to beautify
them, Is to lease them for term of
years to landscape gardeners or others
who, for the use of the soil, will leave
the grounds covered with ornamental
shrubbery and shade trees. Los An
geles does not appear disposed to eX-
pend the money necessary to improve
her park, and under the circumstan-
ces we are inclined to the opinion that
1t would he better and more econom-
ical in the end to lease the ground to
some one, the expiration Of whose
lease would leave it in condition Of
which every resident in the city would
feel proud. We have landscape garden
ers here, any one of whom, we have no
doubt, will be pleased to lease the park
grounds and bind themselves TO leave
the premises covered with shade trees
and flowers. We hope Mr.. GEO. B.
DAVIS, who is an accomplished land
scape gardener, and has an abundance
of all kinds of evergreens and flower
shrubbery, will read this item and that
the Council will make arrangements
with him, or some one else, which will
ultimately convert our desert into q
beautiful Park.

Gorham in Earnest.

There Is something, after all, in the
luminosity of GoRHAM toward the
railroad company, and We now have
an inkling of the causes which led to
the rupture between GEORGE and the
corporation which made him all that
he is beyond the ordinary individual.
1t is we'll known that the campaign
finances of the Republican party have
In the main been for some years past
drawn from the pocket of the raj road
company. This year Governor STAN.
FORD and his associates realized that
their interests would not suffer in the
hands of the people, and they there
fore resolved to go out of politics.
This resolution was adhered to, and
the Golfers of the Republican State
Central Committee are conse luently
empty. GEORGE did not like this, ana
while urging Governor STANFORD to
reconsider the resolution, the Governor
casually remarked that if GEORGE had
remained East the success of the Re-
publican party would have been more
certain than under his management.
This was touching the great wiie-
worker on the raw. He flew into a
passion, swore at the railroad, and
threatened not to accept another pass
over the Governors railway. The re-
fusal of the company to put up more
money blighted the affection of CARR,
PHELPS and STow, and so the party
that have so long lived from the dona-
tons of STANFORD have soured on the
railroad company. These fellows were
useful while the corporation stood on
the defensive in politics, but now that
Governor STANFORD is no longer COM
PEELED to fight Communists, their &C.
cupation Is gone.
