A Word to Parents.

One of the worst animals that is per-
mitted to roam over this worlds sur
face is u bad boy. He is daily tor
ture to his little sister and plague to
the whole neighborhood. We like to
give the boys chance. AS rule,
there is a great deal of outcome in
them. One of the worst boys we ever
saw lived to be an editor, but the seeds
of early life finally took root and he
relapsed went to the State Legislature
and on down, until the last we heard
of him he was in Congress. And it is
not always the good little boys that
make the best men. A nice little boy
who never would steal apples, grew
up to be a man, went into merchan-
dising broke three times, paid moth
ing on the dollar, retired rich, and is
now a shining light in one of San
F'rancisco's most fashionable churches.
Still vicious and dishonest boy is not
the most desirable starter for a man.
And as every body, including parents,
industrial school managers and city
prison keepers know this to be fact,
We regret to have to announce that
Los Angeles is just now pretty well
stocked with the bad boy element. A
letter before us at this moment con-
tains the information that there is a
considerable number of boys, ranging
in age from five to fifteen years,
banded together in this city, who do
not hesitate to scale fences, steal fruit,
break down trees and do other mis-
chief of a serious character. Unless
the parents and guardians of these
youths are careful, not a single one of
them will ever become angels unless
the transformation comes after years
of preparation in the workshops of
San Qentin. Seriously, people who
have boys should look after them a
little more assiduously, and if possible
sever their connection with the many
bad examples that disgrace our city.
Remember that as the twig is bent,
the tree lnclines.

Nirginius Indemnity.

WASHINGTON, March 15th.-Vice.
President Wilson has written a long
letter concerning his castiug vote on
the Bounty bill. He endorses the
bill, and says it could not have taken
from the Treasury over SOS, 200, 900 in
all, and not over ten or twelve mill
lions for the next two years.
The Secretary of State to-day sent
to the Senate the correspondence with
the Spanish Government on matters
connected with the Virginius indem-
nifty. Spain consents TO all the claim 8
of the United States and agrees to pay
$4,000 in gold uneonditionally, to be
distributed by the United States, our
Government not to be accountable to
Spain for sums not claimed by the
heirs or families of the victims.

PATRIcK the banishment of all ven-
omous reptiles from Ireland by means
of his crosier or staff, which, as late as
1860 was still to be seen and greatly
venerated at Dublin. How much of
this is true and how much of it mere
mystic legend we do not know nor do
we wish to know. Nothing can be
more certain than that great and
good man known as st. PATRICK
lived in Ireland at some remote period
and sit cannot be doubted that he
lived for the good of his fellow men,
it is but right and proper that Irish
born men and women and all others
who feel so inclined should celebrate
his anniversary.

Communists.

1t is asserted that there are 10000
members OF this order in Phi Iadelphia.
Their lodges are held in secret and
they are rapidly increasing. Thous-
ands of buildings were secretly marked
in one night in that city. This, with
other mysterious signs, has caused
great alarm. That there is a strong
tendency to agrarianism throughout
the United States and all over the
world is evident. 1t is deplorable,
nevertheless it is true, and we may as
we'll look the evil in the face at once
and if possible devise means to avert
it. "Man's inhumanity to man makes
countless thousands MOURN 1t is
this inhumanity or heartlessness of
the rich toward the poor, together
with the corruption and oppressive
ness of governments, that increases
the tendency towards communism.
All governments are now educating
the masses, and their intelligence
makes them feel more keenly the
degradation and misery that poverty
entails. Education increases the USE
fulness and happiness of man, pro-
vided his moral culture is equal to his
intellectual; but governments gener-
ally, and especially the United States,
have prohibited all religious culture in
public schools, and the consequence is
we have raised and are raising a race
of giants in intellect, but Lillaputians
in morals. They have no moral force
to bear misfortune and endure the
hardships of life. They are like ships
at sea with full sail and no ballast,
liable to capsize in light gale.
Man by nature is religious animal,
and when this moral or religious ma
ture is properly cultivated it is the
ballast that holds him steady when
the storms of affliction and disappoint-
ment are blowing heavy upon him.
The religious element of the country
wants no division Of property, no up
roofing of society. They think and
feel that "it is not the whole of life to
live" Although we make no preten-
sions to piety, we are ready to pay
this tribute to religion, and we believe
the children of the nation would be as
good patriots and as good citizens if
they had more moral culture. But
how can it be done in land of hun
dred religions? 1t would be a difficult
matter to bring religion into public
schools, yet code of morals could be
taught under the head of moral science
by which the patience, benevolence,
brotherly kindness and charity OF
every child could be greatly strength
ened. The oppressiveness of the Gov
ernment is another evil which is very
grinding upon all classes and causes
feelings of desperation to creep ovel
weak humanity to a very demoraliz-
ing extent. This can and must be
remedied speedily, or we shall witness
terrible state of affairs before long
We have no disposition to dictate tc
men of capital, but if they can so in
vest their means as to give hones1
occupation to the laboriag classes they
will add much to the moral strength
of the Government.

;ITY AND COUNTY OFFICIAL PAPER.
wEDNEsDAY,......M MARCH II, 1875.
immigration.

| AS the Winter begins to break the
number of passengers on the overland
route, as we'll as by the Isthmus, in
creases. There has been y tremendous
effort to induce immigration to this
side of the continent. The motive that
induced this effort was commendable,
but we fear that there was much zeal
and but little knowledge mingled with
the effort, and the result may be dis
appointment and great suffering to
many. There have been tons of writ
ten and printed matter sent East to
enlighten the inhabitants of the snow
clad hills and ice-bound wales in regard
to the advantages of our sunny cline,
invigorating air and blooming gar
dens. We can well imagine the effect
of such tidings to a shivering popula-
ton who have never known aught but
to work hard five months to keep
themselves warm the other seven.
They are ready to make any sacrifice
to get to land of perpetual sunshine.
The result is, we are informed that not
less than seventy-five thousand will
come to this coast next Summer, and
perhaps as many during the Fall. We
have room for them, provided, 1st,
they are pleased; I'd, that they have
means to procure homes and comforts.
These two items are always requisite
to good citizenship in California. We
are free to say that this is the best
country we ever saw where these two
requisites are on hand. But if the
poor and destitute suppose that
they will be clothed and fed
by the benevolent population
of California they are very much mis-
taken. There are as many of that
class here now as can be provided for.
All the loose boulders of gold have
disappeared long ago, and the old plan
of eating your bread in the sweat of
your face holds good here as in other
countries. We advise all to come who
have means to situate themselves if
they like, and if they do not like, to
get away with. In a word we want
immigration, but we want an inde-
pendent immigration that can leave if
they don't like the country. There is
perhaps as much benevolence here as
in other countries, but the old mining
population whose charities were as
bountiful as the sunshine, have passed
away and their places filled by men of
quick business habits, with no time
and but little inclination to hunt up
objects of charity. If you come here
with means plenty, you can drop into
the current and keep up if you can, but
If you come here without means you
will be elbowed out and must shift for
yourself. The climate, the soil and
the health of the country is all and
even more than is claimed for it, but
it is hard country for men without
means to get a start. These are facts,
and it is better that the poor know
them before they make the venture to
brake up and come here. We know
that these remarks will awaken the
inquiry as to the cause why so good
country should not be good place for
poor men. One sentence will solve
the whole question. The Chinaman
does much of the work in California,
that poor men do in other countries.
