NEXT Saturday evening Tom FITCH,
author of the pamphlet entitled "The
Coming City," will speak on "The
Future Railroad and Political Pros
poets of Southern California" FITCH
can outspread the whole brood of Pa
cific Coast spread eagle orators. He
scars high, and, when repeating a
written speech, always gets down
without nastying the feathers of his
fowl. His views of the political pros
poets of Southern California no man
can tell-not even himself. His po-
litical views embrace the whole polit-
ical horizon. He has swung around
the entire circle so often that he is as
familiar with the landmarks as the
sheep with the paths across the public
square of Jonesville. In our future
railroad prospects he sees only the
prospective road from Jonesville lead
Ing to this city, and he may give us a
few. chapters out of his Coming
City" pamphlet on that subject. He
talks well, and we advise all to go and
hear him.

trying to screen somebody.

OUR people possess happy faculty
for getting UP difficulties with Indians
just at the right time to make few
months hostilities pecuniarily profita-
BILE to the parties who were most in
strumental in provoking the outbreak.
We have for some time anticipated
trouble with the Sioux Indians. The
notifications issued from time to time
to the restless public to avoid the
Black Hills were just so many invi-
tations to invade that region. 1t was
well known to the government that
miners would flock there and it was
almost equally well known that their
appearance would be the signal for
the commencement of trouble. 1t is
now almost certain that an Indian
war will be inaugurated; few whites
will be killed; a good many Indians
will die and few gentlemen on the
inside will realize handsome fortunes
at the expense of the government. A
we'll managed Indian war is money
business.

II d Not Abuse.


1t is somewhat amusing to read the
warnings which just now fill the col
umns of Independent journals, that
there is danger of abusing BIDwEII
up to that degree of popularity which
will lead to his election. We have
read our exchanges pretty closely and
we must confess that up to this time
we have seen nothing which can be
construed into abuse of the Chico
monopolist Mr.. BIDwELL is the
nominee of party whose principles,
if they are encumbered with any such
thing, partake very strongly of the
Communist doctrine, which holds that
it is right to take from the rich and
give to the poor-to force division of
property the moment it is discovered
that one man has more than his neigh
Dor. Now investigation establishes
the fact that he not only has more of
this worlds goods than his neighbors,
but that he did not acquire them after
the manner of people who do unto
others as they would that Others should
do unto them. This discovery has
created some discussion and has drawn
forth comments the reverse of compli-
mentary to Mr.. BIDwELL. But is this
abuse? When a professed and loud
boasting anti-monopolist is found to
be a monopolist of the worst and most
oppressive character, is it abuse to
condemn and expose his hypocrisy?
Mr.. BIDwELL blows a loud and shrill
temperance horn, yet it is well known
that he retailed spirituous liquors as
long as he found the business profit
able. Is it abuse to point out this con-
flict between profession and practice?
Mr.. BIDwELL's supporters represent
him to be q man of liberality, intelli-
gence and benevolence. Those who
have known him long and we'll aver
that he is illiberal, narrow-minded and
selfish. Is it abuse to revert to and
comment on these glaring contradic-
tions? We do not think so. The man
is aspiring to the Gubernatorial chair
and it is the right of the people to in
quire into and investigate his antece-
dents, his moral character and his in
tellectual ability. The candidate who
denies this right and attempts to
screen himself behind the plea of per-
secution and abuse, offers reasons for
regarding him with suspicion and dis
trusf

WE have it from reliable authority
that the actual sales of Santa Monica
lots footed up $4,000. The figures
show that about 500, 900 were sold, but
some $4,000 worth of lots were
knocked down to cappers and straw
bidders, some of whom were imported
from this city. One-third the pur-
chase money was paid down. This
makes the cash proceeds of the specu-
lation foot up little over $23, 800.
Considering the effort, the result is
feeble indeed. The two-thirds yet
due on the bona fide sales will proba-
bly, never be paid, as the bubble is
bursted and people are beginning to
realize that In place of buying lots in
o town that in few years would con-
tain 100000, they have only invested
in a watering place which at no time
within the next fifty years will have
over 1000 actual inhabitants. A few
months hence lots that sold the other
day at $500 and S400 will be dull sale
at $50 each. Vale, the great CONNER
cial city soap bubble.

ing. Just. as she reached the house
she fell. The inmates were awakened
and soon Brought her in. She said
some one was killing her husband, and
that she left them fighting. Hawkins,
hearing his child crying, went and
dressed, and with the child in his
arms, started for. the house where his
wife was. AS he reached the door he
fell, with the child in his arms, and
was taken inside. Thinking he was
dreaming, he commenced to ask if he
was wounded. He is one of our
best citizens and no one knows of any
enemies he has. Hawkins was seen
by some parties drawing money from
the bank yesterday afternoon, but he
paid it out TO party soon afterwards.
The murderer was tracked into town,
but as yet no clue can be obtained to
his identity, Hawkins not being able
to describe him. Hawkins still lives
and there is some hope of his recovery.
Louis Morgan was arrested on suspi-
cion OF being the murderer, but the
general opinion is he is not guilty.
Hawkins says he Is not Morgan has
been working for him for some time,
and positively denies the act. Consid-
erable excitement prevails.
Suicide at Sacramento.

+. Cary committed suicide here this

THE attempt of the Erpress to turn
attention from the little irregularity
in the deposit of the city funds, to
which the HERALD alluded yesterday,
is sufficient to excite the suspicion
that the city is likely to lose the in
terest on its money for some time to
come. We have, as yet, attached no
blame to any one in regard to this de-
posit matter, nor do we now. We
simply ask the question why the or
der of the Council is not complied
with. The statement that thirteen
per cent. is not the figure bid by
Messrs. TEMPLE s. WORKMAN has
nothing to do with the fact that the
city is not receiving the interest as
per contract, and this dust-throwing
by the Express looks as though it was
irving to screen somebody,

That it is the opinion of this Conven-
tion that the act to provide for the re-

amended so as to provide for the grad
ual contraction of all legal tender cir
culation, and the time of resumption
be extended to the 1st of January,

IT is said that under q threat to eX-
pose his land swindle, GORHAM forced
BIDwELL to support him for Governor
in 1867. 1t is we'll known that BID
WE'LL suddenly recovered from his de-
feat in the Convention by GEORGE
and supported him. 1t is hardly
probable that he would have done
this unless coerced. AT any rate,
there is danger that the old mans am
bition to be Governor will reduce him
from position of wealth to one of
comparative poverty.
