Party rings, old coteries and nomin-
ating cliques must be broken up or
disregarded and candidates must be
selected and elected by the people, in
fact as we'll as in name. Party organs
mast be taught that TO lealumniate,
traduce and villffy worthy and eff
cient candidate is to receive that re-
buke which comes with his approval
and election, The people can teach
these lessons, and in teaching them
they will purify the political atmos-
phere, remove from sight almost en-
tirely the worthless timber and bring
forward material which will not dis
grace them and of which they will not
have occasion to be ashamed. Politics
is rapidly degenersting into a dirty
trade, in the prosecution of which
only unworthy incompetent and, too

Inferior Material.

Candidates for office are numerous
almost innumerable. State, county
and township aspirants offer them
selves in platOons and squadrons. The
people have an abundance of material,
such as it is, to choose from; but we
are not satisfied with the quality of
the material. 1t has not been first
class for years, and the careful observ-
er cannot but have noticed that it is
becoming more common year by year
that as the quantity increases, in
proportionate ratio so does the quality
decrease. This is not because there
are not as many good and able men
now as at any time during the exist
ence of our Republic, but it is because
they are reluctant to become candi-
dates for office. 1t is worth the while
of the people to consider this condi-
ton of affairs-this seeming political
anomaly and if possible ascertain its
cause and determine on the means for
its removal. To our mind, the cause
may be summed up in these words:
Except in the fewest of cases, no gen.
ttenaan can become q candidate for
public office, a0ithout losing, to q cer-
tain ertent, his sef-respect. This is
harsh thing to say of a country and
under a Government where public
servants are supposed to be chosen by
a direct vote of the people. But We
do not assert that the candidate is
humiliated by those whose votes elect
him to Office. Every candidate is not
a CoRIoLANUs who says of his con-
stituents: "You common cry of ours,
whose breath / hate as reek o. the
rotten fens; whose loves prize as the
dead carcases of unburied men,, nor
are the people responsible for the re-
TRACY of worthy and capable material
and the thrusting forward of the
common article. Party and party
mendacity; party power and party
prostitution, is the ghost that has
driven men Of pride and self-respect
from the political arena. To become
candidate for office nowadays is to
become the equal and associate of the
Ward politician and professed politi-
cal hummer; to draw upon your
head the personal attacks and to set
yourself up as the object of the false
and malicious charges of party organs.
You must be party to dishonorable
combinations and submit to the bar
gain and sale programmes for your
only hope of success is through pa
tient submission to the manipulations
of the principleless jugglers who stock
the cards with which the people sup
pose a fair game can be played. Hen
orable men are ash amed the company
they are forced into during the cam
paign; they are ashamed of the acts

THE Sacramento. Board of Educa-
ton have admitted a Chinese child
into the public schools, and there is
hue and cry in consequence. Chinese
residents of California who pay taxes
have right to have their children
educated, and where there are not a
sufficient number of these Chinese
children to require the services of a
teacher it strikes us that to seat two
or three little Mongolians who may
seek the rudiments of an English edu-
cation at desks in the public school
room will not change the color nor
affect the morals of the white children.
Caste Is one of the hardest things in
the world to rub out, 1t never has
been and never will be destroyed.

SAN FRANCISCO, April 3d.-There
was bill at the Mechanics Pavil-
ior last night in aid of the Kan
sas and Nebraska sufferers. The
trustees of the Pavilion rendered it
free for the occasion, as did the San
Francisco Gas Company, for the gas
used. General Schofed furnished
the military band. The San Francisco
Turn Verien and Captain Mcdonald
and his Indians, and the German
Guards and FusiIeers were present
and gave fine exhibitions to assist the
movement. After the exercise dane
ing was in dulged in until late hour

The Northern and middle portions
of the State were favored with rain
faii-iight in some places and heavy
in others--on the night of the 9th
ult. The telegraph reports that it
rained from Siskiyou to Tulare, With
the exception Of sprinkle not heavy
enough to lay the dust, we had none
of it, and though an inch or two
would be very acceptable just now,
we are without even those signs
which always fail in dry weather. In
Colusa county half an inch of water
fell, which will do the farmers great
good. In San Joaquin county and the
lower portion of San Joaquin valley
enough fell to cheer the breasts of the
farmers and revive the grain. In
many other places the shower was a
blessing. The San Francisco papers
say enough rain has fallen to be worth
millions to the farmers.

THE Artesia land examiners report
very favorably of what they see down
there. A great many intended pur-
cbasers have visited the tract within

tion are well pleased with both soil

constantly throwing forth volume of
water sufficient to flood four or five
hundred acres is an attraction and ex-
cites no small amount OF favorable
comment. The fact that the soil down
there is proof against drouth and will
produce excellent crops in all seasons,
gives it additional value in the esti-
nation of new comers from the East
who find it difficult to understand how
a country can be any account without
rain every month in the year. If they
farm in Artesia, they will see how it
is themselves.

Beecber-llis Side of the Story.

NEW YORK, April 2d.-On the wit
ness stand to-day, Beecher testified
concerning his interview with Mrs.
Titon at the time of obtaining from
her the retractiOn of her charge
against him. He went to Mrs. Tilton's
room, where they were alone togeth-
er. She lay on the bed, looking like
one near death. Witness repeated to
her the charges he had heard, when
she said, "My friend, could not help
it," Witness said: elizabeth, why
could you not help it ?'' She replied:
"Oh, Mr.. Beecher, l was wearied; 1
have been wearied with his importu-
nity," or something to that effect.
She then wrote retraction, a copy of
which was identified and read as fol-
lows: yfE..
4 December 3Oth, 1870.
"Wearied with the opportunities
and weakened by sickness, l gave a
letter inculpating my friend Henry
Ward Beecher, under the assurance
that that would remove all difficulties
between me and my husband. That
letter now revoke. was persuaded
to it and almost forced when l was in
weak state Of mind. l regret it and
recall all its statements.
(Signed) e. r. TILToN."
She read the above letter to herse If
and then asked for more ink and added
this: ~. rr2 sr
III desire to say explicitly that Mr..
Beecher has never offered me any inn
proper solicitations, but has always
treated me in a manner becoming a
Christian and a gentleman"
This she signed with her full name,
Elizabeth r. Tilton. The witness did
not suggest or dictate word of the
retraction, il was done of her own free
will. The witness also related his in
terview with Moulton after obtaining
the retraction. Moulton spoke OF
Tilton as a wronged man. The wit
ness understood the wrong to be from
Bowen.
