The Workingmen. Of California have for
fnuIated their opinions and the outcome Is by
no means as communistic as was feared. At
ID meeting of the delegates to the constltu-
iiona1 convention 1t has been determined that
certain reforms In the organic law should be
advocated. namely: That no leases should be
granted by landholders; that no person not q
citizen should hold real estate property In the
State, and should any person diepossessed
of property contrary to these provisions,
such property must escheat to the State; that
no lands shall be held in trust for an alien,
and the creation Of any such trust shall
eseheat the said lands: and, finally, no person
shall hold over $40 acres Of land, nor shall q
larger amount be capable OF being be-
uueathed. These views are sufficiently radi-
cal, and yet they are moderate as compared
10 those entertained by Kearney, the self
styled leader Of the California Workingmen.
1Nsgt liz evident that the doctrines above set
4 forth would work to the disadvantage ol the
arge corporations by which the Golden State
has been for a. long time dominated and the
Chinese; preventing the former from contin-
iling large landowners, and the latter from
owning real estate at ALL

The sinking of the Princess Alice, by which
500 or more lives were lost, adds another TO
the list Of dreadful marine casualties which
have been of but too frequent occurrence OF
late years In British waters. 1t has been but
d few weeks since the Eurydice, q naval in-
struetion ship, with largenumber OF youths
ira training, went down, but two souls being
left to tell the tale. In that instance the acci-
dent was the result Of overweening confidence
and bad seamanship. Still there might have
fegn. In q measure excuse for the impatience
and brayado that led to the fearful disaster.
The ship had been on a long cruise In the
West indies, 1t was bright day, and but o
moderate breeze was blowing, and IN their
a,xietv to reach port and, at the same time,
maize q gallant show as shepassed the Crowded
wharyes Of seaside pleasure resort by
which the vessel pissed, all her canvass was
crowded on, and the Eurydce went by like o
.nnaayat vision OF the SEA. A summer thunder
Whent came with sudden gust OF wind, and
w o,n9 Amt under with all aboard. The dsas-
heinaak the Princess Alice, however, appears to
] have nothing to redeem tit was due to
had reckless and criminal seamanship. The
raanansible parties should be discovered and
p,1nished to the full extent Of the law. The
starry of the captain of the Bywell Castle, the
vaasel that ran down the Alice throws the en-
ssre blame on the officers of the lost vessel
hs1t the probabilities are that the officers O
both vessels were to blame.

The entire New York press has been voeifer-
ously calling on John Kelly for weeks to NOM
mate his candidate for Mayor of that city,
but MI. Kelly stubbornly declines to accede
to their demand. The following, entitled
"Kelly's MayoraIty Charade' ga Supposed
Inspiration of Smith Ely, Jr.,' published in
the World, is supposed to throw some light on
the identity of the coming man:
NV first issues instant from lips of maid
To her sweetheart when Of footsteps they both
are afraid
While quiet companionship lends love Its aid.

But in peace. at ones ear whispers oceans deep

And Is found by the thousand on tropical shore

charges, are decidedly suggestive of q com.
bination between Conkling and Tammany

BURIALS.

We suggested O day or two since that an as
sociation for burying the dead should be Or
ganized Further information convinces us
that there is little or no necessity for any such
body. One or two cases have occurred Of
burials being delayed. 1t would be strange
indeed, it, In a time like this, q few such cases
did not occur. No organization, however per-
feet, could prevent them. The system adopt
ed by the city for burying the INDECENT is
thorough and humane. Decent collins are
provided; the graves are well made and the
utmost promptness Is exercised when de-
mands are made for burial. Ii in any case, re-
quiring special attention representation of the
facts is made to any of our organizations,
there will be no difficulty in having 1t prompt
ly and properly attended to,
There IL certainly much restitution in our
midst, owing to the suspension OF business
and industry; but the epidemic has not
reached that fearful point where 1t can thwart
the energies and resources OF the admirable
system of associations we have organized,
and the large means at their command. Not
n single case of sickness or want has been
made known that has not been promptly at
tended to, and we believe there are very
few which have not been ferreted out by the
vigilance of our associations.
Notwithstanding the sensational reports
spread abroad, New Orleans is not afflicted
by a great and desolating epidemic. We
have in our midst certainly severe epidemic
but it has not reached, and we trust it vii
not reach, that stage when it will resemble II
the slightest degree the CHASTITY, horrible
grinning plague 1t has been painted-whel
we will be unable to feed the starving, min
lister to the sick or bury the dead.
