preserve she Organization.

As but week intervenes before
the conference at the Palace Hotel
will remove the matter from the
pale of discussion, we return to the
subject Of nominations for delegates
to the approaching Constitutional
Convention. In our opinion the
party can survive the loss of dis
trict here and there, but fusion
with the Republican party, or what
amounts to such fusion, will have
disastrous results. Such action
would appear to countenance the
idea that both the Democratic and
Republican parties differ only in
name, and that there are no real
living party issues in this State. The
idea will be held. further, that the
fusion is at the dIctation of the
frightened aggregated capital of
the State. If the Democratic
party becomes justly liable to such
suspicion, its usefulness is gone, at
least for the present, and until its
management passes into the hands
of aggressive and masculine lead
ers. A party can support defeat,
but mere torpidity is fatal to it.
We concede the fact that the
Kearneyites, in limited numbers,
with straight out Democratic NOM
nations, would be returned to the
Constitutional Convention. But
have we any guarantee that, with
the Democratic and Republican
parties practically disbanded, they
may not sweep the whole field?
Men are willing to belong to and
work for live and energetic parties,
but they may revolt against un'
natural alliances. With no regu'
lar Democratic ticket in the field
we greatly dread the Greeley paral-
ysis. The least we ask of the State
Committee Is thatit should confine
the fusion, if such Is contemplated,
to San Francisco and the delegates
at large. But we should be far bet,
ter pleased if it should pattern Its
attitude on that of the hero in
Scotps "Lady of the Lake." who
His back against a rock he bore,
And firmly placed his foot before,
"C0me one, come all, this rock shall ny
From Its firm base as soon as ]"
Occupying such firm and self
reliant vantage ground, the Demo
cratic party need have little fear o
the waning loyalty of the masses
Under such an aspect of matters
political we should have infinitely
less dread of the success of thu
Kearneyites than with fusion
which would be Interpreted as tn
outcome of fear combined with
Difference to capital that merged al

SAN JOSE, April 16th.-The
great scandal suit of Maggie Nc
Bride vs.. Mrs. Carmel Fallon, in
which the plaintiff asks judgment
for $4,000 for defamation of char
acter, was called in the Twentieth
District Court yesterday afternoon.
Owing to the matters to be brought
out in evidence being deemed un-
fitted for the public, the testimony
was taken with closed doors. The
plaintiff was awarded q verdict of
5000 few months ago in q suit
against the defendant for injuries
received at her hands with q fire
poker. At the time of the assault
plaintiff was servant girl in the
emplop of the Fallons and the cause
of attack upon her was belief
on the part of Mrs. Fallon that she
was carnally intimate with defend
ants husband, Thomas Fallon.
The Mcbride difficulty ended in a
divorce and the allegations in the
present complaint are said to be
the result of that controversy. The

IN contemplating the natura
abundance of this county 1t is dis
piriting to note how little effort We
have so far made to utilize it. One
of the items of our crop this veal
will be barley yield which will
range close upon million and 9
half bushels. IL is preposterous te
think that this grain will all com
mand a market in this section. L
should be fed to hogs. 1t is a thing
not generally known, but there i:
O great deal of barley in this county
now, remaining over from last
years crop-a year which was sup.
posed to be one Of unexampled
drouth. Our pasture ranges are
burdened with tremendous grass
crops. Alfalfa fields are multiply
ing. Pumpkins and beets can be
grown here with q rank luxuriance
that seems almost incredible. The
fact is that Los Angeles county
will some day produce millions Of
hogs annually. THERE'S absolutely
no impeachment to doing it. We
can throw aside our vineyards and
orange groves; and, simply from
the ground work of plain agricul.
ture, become quite wealthy. We
must learn how to do things and
to do them well. A prodigious
cheese interest should grow up
here. We can feed cows, owing to
our climate,green stuffs all through
the year. Butter and cheese for
export should be made in Los An
geles county in immense quaint
ties. But we should make good
butter and good cheese. We should
send out only such staples as will
do the county credit and bring our
products into good repute. We
need class of farmers who will
own their farms and who will not
go around grooming under the
weight of a Pelion piled on Ossa of
mortgage indebtedness, carrying
an annihilating rate of interest.
We shall make our own flour this
year and shall have some for ex-
port. Some day or other we shall
find ourselves q great commercial
center; but, until that time arrives,
we should realize that we are an
interior town, planted in the heart
of the finest farming region
on the Pacific Coast, and we SHOULD
aim to bring the utmost out of ouI
possibilities. AS we have said, the
lush abundance is here. 1t is oul
duty that we strive to prove equal tc
the occasion. Were the population

REGULATING FARES AND
EREIGHrS.

The Winnemucca Silver State wants
to make the. question of regulating the
charges OF liroads the leading local
Issue In the approaching campaign.
There are some evidences that this
issue may figure quite prominently,
particularly as the supreme Court of
the UnIted States has recently decided
that the subject is one strictly within
the power OF State Legislatures.
The above is from the Eureka Sen
tinel. whose editor is State Senator
from Eureka, and, unless elected to rep
resent the State in Congress, will be a
member Of. the next Legislature. Now
to encourage or discourage the idea of
making the question OF regulating rail
road charges the leading local issue In
the next campaign, will the editor Of
the Sentinel give his views Of the ques.
ton. He generally speaks right out on
every question of interest TO the public.
and 1t Is to be hoped that he will do SO
on this. That the discrimination in
charges, which enables San Francisco
merchants to ship goods through New
ada to tide water at less rates than
they are delivered at Elko, Whine
mucca or Reno. ought to be prevented
by legislation, will scarcely be dis uted,
except By the railroad company, and il
is difficult to name popular measure
that they are not prepared to dispute
and oppose.
