cratic. But they may, BY giving emphasis
to the results of the September and Octo-

We are occasionally amused at
the restivsness of our people under
q temporary back set. If failure
Of Temple & Workman's Bank, a
drouth and a terrible visitation Of
smallpox, cannot be relied upon
to beget a slight degree of business
lsnguor, 1t Is pretty pass. Ev-
srything now is as propitious as
the present season. In Congress,
Scott and the Central Pacific are
contestants for legislation of which
We may say, if either wins, this
ssctien will be vltalized. If the
Scott guarantee passes (and we
confess now as always we have lit
tie belief in iD the Southern Pa
cific Railway will be sold 10 him
by its present owners, and, if we
don't get rid of monopoly, we shall
at least be on the direct line of
transcontinental railway. On
the other hand, if the
Central Pacific wins, the
Southern Pacific will be pushed
forward at once until it reaches the
Rio Grande, and, ultimately, the
cities of Mexico and Vera Cruz.
Any of these eventualities means
great development in the region of

dicted that this would be year of
copious rains hereabouts, and We
stick to that prediction. 1t 10 a
somewhat notable, If not remarka-
BILE, circumstance that the HER
AIDS weather prophecies have
been, in every instance, verified to
q hair. At the outset we claimed
the margin of the Apostle John, in
the Apocalypse, "of time, and
times and half a time" but our
provisions have been SO accurate
that We have not needed this APP
proved license. II we have, in this
matter, attained almost the flip
pancy of Beecher, we can at least
plead that we indulge In it not
from the pulpit but from an edito'
rial tripod. In the interest of re-
liglon, it is perhaps right that we
should suggest that our liberal
rainfall is owing to the fact that,
prior to the last heavy rain, praysrs
for rain went up to heaven from all
the Roman Catholic Churches OF
the diocese of Los Angeles and
Monterey. Whether our ether re-
ligious denominations also prayed
for rain we are not yet advised.

ASA ELLIS has done his constit-
uents q good turn in introducing
into the Assembly his bill provid-
ing that two sessions of the Su-
preme Court of California shall be
hold In Los Angeles. The Supreme
Court of the State of Pennsylvania
holds sessions in Philadelphia, in
the Eastern part of that State, in
Pittsburgh, in the Western part.
and In Hairisbugh, in Central
Pennsylvania. The same rule pre-
walls in most of the other States,
and 1t is found to work excellsntly
In practice. The United States
District Courts of Pennsylvania
hold sessions in different parts Of
that State. The District Judge for
the Western District of Pennsylva-
mia holds sessions In Pittsburgh,
Williamsport and Erie. The Judge
>of,the Eastern District also visits
different portions of the district
subject to his jurisdiction. The
same rule prevails with regard to
these Courts in other States. What
we need is a District Judge Of the
United States for the Southern
District of California. Until such
q Judicial office is created, Judge
Hoffman should hold term Of his
court in Southern California;.
The delay and expense involved in
seito,ss n both our State Supreme
Court and the United States Dis
trict Courts having to go hundreds
of miles for forum in which they
cap be heard is well'nigh insurer
abie. They often amount to a
practical denial of justice.

EXPENSIVE transportation seems

Coast. A correspondent Of the San
Francisco Chronicle, writing from
Walla Walla, Washington Terri
tory, says that it costs up there Sc
a ton to transport wheat to seaport,

lance of thirty-three miles. This
is simply infamy. 1t is a short
sighted policy. 1t is the old story,
over again, of killing the goose
which lays the golden egg. The
present Legislature of California
can make it impossible that such a
thing should be done in this State.

inches of rain in different localities,
the fall being heaviest 10 the north

valleys about one inch and three
quarters have fallen. In the South

varied from half an inch to about

everywhere accompanied by a
strong wind from the south and
