The STATE OF south CALIFORNIA;.

During residence OF SIX years
in Southern California we have
dwelt upon the advisability of es-
tablishing State of South Califor-
mia. We have been all along
aware that the accomplishment of
our aspirations is a matter of time.
Large bodies move slow, and the
State Of California is one of the
largest bodies in the American
Union. 1t will take time to leaven
this large lump, but the process
has begun, and we fatter ourselves
that, In the three newspapers with
which we have been connected du-
ring the time mentioned, we have
contributed largely to the forma-
1tian OF public opinion which we
now hear echoed from every side.
Southern California should I'M
doubleday be q State of itself. 1t
would form an unique common
wealth, in which pastoral and min
ing interests would predominant.
We can't think of any two things
which have less in common than
Northern and Southern California.
Indeed, even the contrast between
Central and Southern California is
sufficiently conspicuous. Between
both of these sections and our own
there Is absolutely nothing in COM
mon. Our respective climates are
as divergent as the poles, and there
Is hardly greater difference be-
tween the products of Kamschatka
and the fertile valleys which sur
round Odessa than there is between
San Diego and Siskiyou. Why
should these wholly dissimilaI
zones be bound together by q girdle
which is longer than the bant
needed to confine half a dozen
States Of the old, original thirteeni
Nothing is palmer than tho fact
that the whole care and attention
of the State of California, as q!
present constituted, will be confined
to the Immediate neighborhood OF
the Bay Of San Francisco. When
1t comes to legislating for a
people who grow the orange and
the olive they are completely OBJ
livious. They gave US, it is true,
a session of the Supreme Court for
Los Angeles, but they gave it more
as a sanitary precaution for the
health of the Judges than for any
other motive. This recognition OF
Los Angeles and Southern Califor-
mia completely exhausted the Leg
islature. 1t fell back prone and
helpless after such an act of TN
wonted generosity.
The refrain, "The State of South
California" has caught the ears of
our people and they will never be
contested until they see the dream
fact accomplished. Espe cially is
1t desirable that our aspirations
should be realized if the flood Of
Kearneyism should engulph the
rest Of the State. Here it will en-
counter q breakwater from which
1t will recoil bel plessly.

A correspondent of the Galveston
Ne,Os recently talked with the old
Indian chief, Santanta, in the
Texas penitentiary. Santanta, the
correspondent says, is treated very
leniently. His occupation is chair
making, out he is allowed to desist
and fall asleep whenever lie
chooses. He said that his age was
SO years, and vet he is powerful
looking old fellow, with not a gray
hair in his head. When asked
whether he liked prison life as we'll
as he did the prairies and buffaloes,
he said: "Ah-h-ahw and shook

WASHINGTON, April 24th.-SEN
ATE-Bills introduced: BY Grov.
yer, to create an additional land
district in Idaho. Referred to the
Committee on Public Lands. By
Eaton, (by requesD authorizing
the Southern Pacific Railroad Com
pany TO construct, maintain and
operate bridge across the Colo
RADIO river, at Fort Yuma, Califor-
MIA. Referred to the Committee
on Finance.
The bill to authorize claimants
| to certain lands in Santa Barbara
county to submit their claim to the
United States District Court for
that State for adjudication, was
passed. Also, the bill releasing
the title Of the United States in
certain parcels of land in Califor-
MIA to the assigns of John Cutler.
HoUsE.-After action on some
minor bills, Springer introduced a
bill authorizing the Civil Service
Committee to ascertain the num-
bers and proper changes of the EN- .
ployes of the House.
Clymer, from the Appropriation
Committee, reported back the ma.
val bill, with recommendation
that the House concur in $4,000 of
the 100000 added by the Senate.
Agreed to.
The House then took up the
business on the Speakers table and
passed the Senate bill authorizing
the President to make certain ne
gotiations with the Ute Indians in
Colorado.
The Pacific Railroad funding bill
being reached, Cox moved to pass
it. After it was read Butler raised
the point, which the Speaker over
ruled, that it must go to the Com
mittee of the Whole. Butler ar
gued at length in support of his
point, objecting especially to the
sinking fund sections.
Frye said the judiciary Commit
tee by to A, had instructed him to
move to refer the bill to that Com
mittee, but two Of the absent men,
bers of the Judiciary Committee
had since told him they would OPP
pose its reference. Several mem
bers of the Judiciary Committee
here spoke favorably to its pas
sage and opposing reference.
Cox, of New York, advocated the
bill. Cox said, in answer to Gar
field, that the bill was drawn so
carefully that the railroads would
not, as heretofore, beat the govern
ment in the courts. An ex.Judge
of the Supreme Court had approved
it and an eminent lawyer had
drawn it up.
Price said he would vote for the
bill with regret, for he thought the
Judiciary Committee should con-
slider 1t. He was sure the fourth
and fifth sections could mean two
Numerically different things and
would open the door for just such

rivals, who quarreled in the street.
Mr.. Dicks declined to interfere in
the controversy. He stood aside,
and told them to settle the ques-

did SO by long and severe fight, in
which hair and clothes were torn,
faces scratched, and fingers bitten.
At length one was vanquished, and
Mr.. Dicks gave his arm to the
victor.
