We read an article few days ago in
relation to defects In onr present system
of education, one of which was, that we
need more of practical training i'm our
schools than now exists. This IS a truth
that experience is proving more and
more every dav Oar schools tnrn ont
young men aud women lsv tias llsssssslreds,
RI Of whom have what Is called good
education fitted. as some saw. for the
duties Of life, bHt the trouble is they do
not know how to apply it. As soon as e

qillred o thorough knowledge of the diff
ferent branches tauglit. he begins to
stack has lose mp to smell out what pro-

is nor fit for either That is the reason
Why the country is filed with quacKs
IN sill of the professions. They mistook
their calling. and went 40 Ear astray in
their choice that, unable to provide for
themselves, they at last go back to their

prompt to attempt to injure ME
with party friends for recognizing
this de facto relation; and so prompt
that he printed letter Of mine and
that of Mr.. Sayler of Ohio in favor
of this republican gentleman, so as
to draw from it some sense of rec
ognition of the official who was
acting as President.
am aware that nobody cares for
these personal matters, but some-
times they serve to illustrate social
and political ethics, aud in this
case they do more. They point this
moral: that when one takes an
office to which he was not elected,
and takes it through crooked paths
and under absolute proofs of guilt,
it is best not to trust anything he
does. When my colleague (Mr.
Hewitt), therefore, makes out the
present tocun tencns of the White
House as coming in with the IA.
diant beauty of innocency and rich
in the opulence of civil service re-
form, and yet believes that he has
since dishonored every pledge of
his to civil service reform, is it not
meet to ask, "How can we gather
any good fruit from such scraggy
shrubbery?n
Once Gen. Grant said that no
man worthy the office of President
should be willing to hold it if
counted in or placed there by any
fraud. Better than that; the DEM
ocrats, who never flinched in the
last Congress, told their constit-
ueLts before they parted last year
that
Under the forms of law, Ruther-
ford B. Hayes has been declared
President of the United States. His
title rests upon acknowledgements of
lawful voters, the false illcates
of the returning officers acting cor
ruptly, and the decision of a COM
mission which has refused to hear
evidence of alleged fraud. For the
first time are the American people
confronted with the fact of IA fraud
uIeutly elected President. Let it
not he understood that the fraud
will be silently acquiesced in bt the
country. Let no hour pass III w- -ich
the usurpation is forgotten.
After signing that paper am | to
sit sill here and listen to the apollo
gies far such title resting upon
the disffanclisemento OF lawful vo
ters? Am to acquiesce in pow
er based on false certifications?
Am to endorse corruption in re-
turning officers? Shall | bow and
bow obsequiously before a commits
sion which refused to hear the ev!-
dence of alleged fraud? We said tha'
it would not and should no, be ae-
quiesced in By the country. Shall
we keep our promise? We said
that 10 hour should pass IN which
the usurpalion should be forgotten.
Others may let the hours dance
gayly in the golden light OF patron
age; and others may be bonded u
to listen to the strains of the silver
veto, but my constituents may cam
eel my commission if l forget the
troth we made to each other when
we signed "the Congressional ad-
dress F" and pledged ourselves that
never should there be rest for this
wick kedness. Never! Never!

LATELY there have been many
municipal and local elections in
this State. In these elections we
have heard of only two parties par
ticipating-the Democratic and the
Workingmen. What has become
Of the late Republican party? Has
it really disappeared, for good?
Have the Workingmen so COM
pletely swallowed up and assimi-
lated it that it will never hereafter,
In this State, have an existence as
separate entity? This would
seem to be the case, and If so,
Kearneyism, with all its faults,
will have at least one good thing
to recon- mend it.
Daily Los Angeles herald., 1878-03-26

THE only distinctive feature that
we have been able to discover ir
Kearneyism. after a close scrutiny
of It's avowed principles, beyond
what las been expressed and
advocated by all political par
ties in California for the last ten
years, is this: All Legislators who
fail to DO their duty should be
hanged, the fellow known as Dem
mis- Kearney to decide whether
they have done their duty or not.
Kearney's dictum will decide who
shall be hanged and who shall not
be hanged, and the how and when
and where the hanging shall be
done. Could anything be more
nauseating than this? Yet up In
San Francisco, and even in the
very halls of legislation, at the Cap.
ital of the State, grave Senators
stoop to seriously consider such
stuff! Well may we ask, "What
Is the world coming tor"
Daily Los Angeles herald., 1878-03-26

WHEN the Workingmen elected
Bones they put political petrifac-
ton in the California Senate.
They are debating now whether he
is an idiot, insane or corrupt.
Have they any guarantee that they
may not have TO call similar
council of reproof and vengeance on
the next man they may elect to
high station? Why the thunder
don't they hang Boncs? All their
vaporing about hemp will go for
nought if this Oakland Judas Is
CARROT escapes scot free.

If for nothing else but the dispo-
sltion it has shown to relieve the
financial stringency under which
the country has suffered so long,
the present Democratic Congress
has earned the lasting gratitude of
the nation. The fiat has gone out
from it that the bondholder must
loosen his grasp on the national
throat and permit the people tc
breathe freely. Under Republican
subservience to the demands of the
moneyed classes it had become q
painful and difficult thing for q
poor man to get hold of a dollar,
and it was daily becoming more
difficult. This will all be braveIy
changed when the mints have been
at work turning out bright silver
dollars for some months, aud the
coin certificates begin to be issued
in considerable quantities. Prac.
tical resumption has also been
much facilitated by the passage OF
the silver bill. Already green.
backs are almost at par, the silver
dollar will rank at least as high as
the greenback, and subsidiary sill
yer can also readily be put upon
the SAME basis by a little judicious
legislation. Democratic national
legislation has been both popular
and in the direction of economy,
and it has gone far towards giving
the party a bond from fate of COM
plete ascendancy in all depart
ments OF the government.

Lush Abundance.

A ride through the rural sections
OF Los Angeles county cannot fail
t, impress any one with the wou-
derfully fertile character of the
county upon which our city relies
SO largely for her growth. This
year there has been no need
whatever of calling into play our
irrigating facilities in order to raise
bountiful crops of the cereals.
Everywhere the only danger is of
the too rank luxuriance of the
grain, which may lead much of it
10 lodge. There is no exaggeration
in claiming that the crops of this
county this season will be fully
twice as large as those of any pre-
vious year.
The best and most practical far
mers Los Angeles county has ever
had think there is not the slightest
difficulty in raising here cereal
crops, six years out of seven, with
proper farming. 1t is an excellent
thing to have the water handy in
case it should be needed, but ii is
pleasant to know that the necessity
is not likely to arrive oftener than
once in seven years.
One thing cannot fail to strike
the tourist who goes over Los An.
geles county in the most casual
manner, and that is the prodigious
quantities of feed that are abso-
lutely going to waste. Thick, nutri-
tious burr clover and aIfilerillo cover
the valleys with growth as heavy
rs the best cultivated timothy and
clover fields Of the East, and these
bounteous grasses even mantle the
hill and mountain sides clear to
their SUBMITS. The chief dist ne
tlon of Los Angeles county, in the
old days, was as cattle region. In
view of the fact that both the aliil-
erillo and burr clover cure them
selves into an excellent hay
on the ground, and that their
seed makes most nutritious
and fattening feed, cattle rails
ing and wool growing ought to
receive great impetus the present
season. We believe that Los An
geles county has had as many as a
million and half of sheep in her
borders at one time. While we
don't expect to see that form idable
figure rivaled for years to come,
there is no reason why our present
stock of four hundred thousand
should not be doubled, to the great
profit of our sheep owners. While
in the more thickly settled por-
tions of the county sheep are rap
idly becoming mere incidents of
the farm, there are extensive tracts
which cannot be put to better use
than grazing. The Cerritos,
Laguna, San Joaquin, San Vicente
and several other ranches, ought
shortly to be taken from the
llerder and his focks and made the
scene Ct prosperous and populous
settlements. There is ample room
and verge enough, In more remote
and less fertile districts, for cattle
and sheep raising.

THE date for the final passage of

doubtless to enable our San Diego

Now wages are one dollar per day,

because capital has become scared
