Railroad on guarantee that the
road would be extended from this
city to junction with the Utah
Southern, thereby giving this part of
the State continuous rail through to
the East, but no direct subsidy could
be voted to the road. If such a road
is built it must of necessity pass
through Cajon Pass, which will, after
all, leave San Bernardino on branch.
Under this aspect of affairs it appears
that the cheapest, quickest and most
rapid means by which the people of
San Bernardino can secure direct rail-
road communication is to build road
from their town to Cotton, on the
Southern Pacific. The distance is but
four miles, and the entire cost of
building and equiping the road will
not exceed seventy-five thousand dol
lars. BY doing this they may have
their road in a few weeks, and for two
hundred and twenty-five thousand
dollars less than they are asked to do
nate to secure branch connecting
them with the Los Angeles and Inde-
pendence road.

ALREADY interest in the Centennial
Exposition is beginning to flag. CAL
ifornia never was deeply imbued with
the sentiment. Either her means
were not in proportion to her patriot
ism or her patriotism was not in pro-
portion to that of other States. AT
any rate she does not present an ap-
pearance at Philadelphia at all credit
able to State that possesses so much
of the rich, rare and beautiful. But
aside from our own case the Centen-
nial is not proving the success that
the people of Philadelphia anticipated,
and If all accounts are true they have
only themselves to blame for the fail
ure. The city in which the nation
was born should have been content
with the honor of celebrating its hun
dredth anniversary. But the village
ofbroadbrims and steady habits sought
to gather to herself both the honor and
the profit. Extravagant charges and
small swindles have so disgusted wis.,
itors that thousands have resolved to
make their visit short, while thou
sands, knowing how things were, have
resolved not to visit at all. For the
honor of the nation, if not for the gain
OF Philadelphia, we regret that the ex-
hibition is not the success it should
have been.
Los Angeles daily herald., 1876-06-28
Nothing New.

A Philadelphia minister has been
charged with plagiarism, and after
admitting the correctness of the charge
he was reprimanded and conjured not
to do so again. If this minister obeys
instructions, he will never preach
more. If there is calling in this
world in which nothing new or origi-
nal can be advanced, it is orthodox
sermonizing. Every verse and per-
haps every word of the Bible has been
the subject of thousand sermons.
These have been thought out and
preached by as many different preach
ers. These ministers have ranged in
intellect and education from the
lowest mental standard to the pol
ished and cultivated genius. Can
anything new be advanced on the SUBJ
ject without departing from the
straight and narrow path marked out
by creed? 1t is as impossible to
preach an original orthodox sermon
as it is to preach an original sermon
that will be accepted as orthodox. A
minister who is sufficiently fortunate
to secure fair pecuniary calls writes in
his life time about one barrel ofser-
mons. The time elapsing between the
first and the last sermon of the barrel
is so great that the first may be pre-
sented as original the Sunday follow
ing the delivery of the last. But
seriously, there is not the slightest
chance for originality in the orthodox
sermon of the nineteenth century. If
the minister is an original thinker he
will be regarded as free thinker, and
will soon find himself without an
orthodox pulpit. No one is more fully
alive to this fact than the intelligent
ministers of the day, and they pro-
claim it by selecting social topics and
local questions as themes for their
Sunday discourses. By this means
they are enabled to advance original
ideas and deliver orthodox lectures,
and yet avoid extraordinary strains on
the orthodox jacket in which they
are incased.

San Bernardino and Railroads.

The town of San Bernardino is but
four miles from the Southern Pacific
Railroad, and her people are now
moving to secure closer connection
with the iron rail. Their present pur-
pose appears to be to form a junction
with the Santa Monica railroad,
which they are promised shall be ex-
tended to their town in consideration
of q subsidy of three hundred thou
sad dollars. 1t also appears that the
extension is to be made contingent
on further subsidy of four hundred
thousand dollars from the people of
Los Angeles county. These consider
ations are so difficult to comply with
that it is more than probable their
satisfactory arrangement will be post
poned to an indefinite period. The
people as whole are uncompromis-
ingly opposed to voting further subsi-
dy to railroads. In this city and
county q considerable amount of stock
would be subscribed by individuals to

The average rate of discount on
silver in San Francisco is seven per
cent, while greenbacks cost the pur-
chaser ninety cents, leaving but three
cents difference between greenbacks
and silver. If the silver bill becomes
law, as it most likely will, silver
will decline to an equal value with
currency. The effect of this will be
to drain the country of its gold. On
the subject the Call remarks: Under
these circumstances, it might be a
wise policy to adopt some general
action in regulating the value of sill
yer coin before all our gold is drained
from our market. Under the present
system there is more danger of the
hard money States being brought to a
greenback basis than there is hope
that the greenback States will be re-
stored to gold basis"

The law compelling an exhibit OF q
sworn statement from all banks is one
of the acts of the last Legislature for
which the people have cause to feel
thankful. If such law had been in
force one year ago, this community
would have been at least one million
dollars better off. Under such law
he books of our collapsed bank could
not have remained unposted for three
wears, and its unreliability would
have become known to depositors in
season to have enabled them to save
their money. We are pleased to
know that our local banking institu-
tions are all solvent, and the state
ment they are required to make dur
ing July will only more firmly estab-
lish the confidence of the people in
their soIvency and reliability. We
hope that all other banks of this
State will be enabled to make as sat-
isfactory showing as those of Los

Employment Of Boys.

]. F. Whyte received yesterday
from James G. Patterson, agent of the
Sacramento Valley Railroad, at Rout-
ier's station, the following note rela-
tive to the boys sent out in the coun-
try recently to work in orchards:
"This morning l interviewed Mr..
Rouiter and Mr.. Studeros, and they
both said most emphatically that the
boys could beat the Cinnamon easily;
that if they had known that they
could have got the boys they would
not have hired single Chinaman; as
it was, they had hired some. Next
year they will not have any. At pres
ent they have all the help they need,
so do not send any more; but you can
tell other fruit men that Messrs. Rou-
tier and Studeros both say that the
average of boys will beat Cinnamon
at either picking or packing; If their
evidence will do any good you have
it. sincerely hope that the wooden
mills and like manufactures will give
the boys chance, and let their work
speak for ITSELF" Mr.. Whyte informs
us that during the past two days 80
boys have applied to him to secure
them work, they being aged from Il
to IS years, like the % sent to Routier
and Studeros. They have registered
their names and RESIDENCES, so that
parties in want of their service can
get them Immediately y.-Sdcrdnlento

Centennial Thanksgiving PrOolama-
tiOn.


WASHINGTON, June 26th.-The fol-
lowing proclamation was issued to-
day by the President:
The Centennial anniversary of the
day on which the people of the United
States declared their right to separate
and be equal among the powers of the
earth, seems to demand exceptional
observance. The founders of the Gov
ernment, at its birth and in its feeble
ness, invoked the blessings of Divine
Providence, and thirteen colonies and
three millions of people have expanded
into nation of strength and numbers,
commanding a position for which
prayers were then offered. 1t seems
fitting that on the occurrence of the
hundredth anniversary of our exist
ence as a nation, grateful acknowledge
ment should be made to Almighty
God for the protection vouchsafed to
our beloved country. | therefore in
vite the good people of the United
States, on the approaching fourth day
of July, in addition to the usual OBJ
servances with which they are accus-
toned to greet the return of this day,
in such mauner and at such time as
in their respective localities and relig-
ious associations may be convenient,
to mark its recurrence by some
public religious and devout thanks
ings which have been bestowed upon
US as nation during the century of
our existence, and humbly to invoke
the continuance of his favor and pro-
lection. In witness whereof L have
hereunto set my hand and caused the
seal of the Unites States to be affixed.

About 10 o'clock this morning some
four or five boys, ranging from 19 to
16 years of age, went bathing in
pond of water on 2Sth street at the
crossing of the Southern Pacific rail-
road, among whom was Edward
Hartshorn, boy of 16, whose father
keeps saloon at No. 13 Third street.
The pond in places is deep one, situ-
ated near brick yard, and after dis
porting in the water awhile, young
Hartshorn's attention was attracted
to the youngest of his companions
who had gone beyond his depth and
was struggling in the water. The lad
promptly went to the assistance of his
drowning companion, but as soon as
he reached him the drowning boy fas-
tened upon him with vice-like grip,
and prevented him from rendering
any assistance whatever. How it 0c-
CURED nobody knows, but the boy to
whose assistance Hartshorn went
managed to reach the shore exhaust
ed, while his rescuer was drowned.
An alarm was raised, and the body,
yet warm, was recovered by men
working in the brick yard.
