THE CALIFoRNfA SITUATION. The
New York World has mn editorial good
humoredly crticising California under
the new Constitution, ridiculing the
Chronicle and Kearney and their quarrel,
closing as follows "If this melancholy
picture is a true one, Sacramento is in a
more evil plight than Sodom and Gomor-
fah. Kearney himself has said it, and it
Is greatly 10 his credit that he is the only
man upon the Pacific slope who is not a
hummer, nor blatherskite. He is the
Iot-even tie sand,lot, as it were-ofthe
Western City Of the Plains. Inasmuch
ms we rave it from an ancient associate
and admirer Of his, and ferv id advocate
of the new Constitution, tha: not even
Keainey Is righteous, there seems to be
no earthly reason why the celestial and
avenging fires should he any longer with
held, and bold speculators will perhaps
begin at once 10 sell San Francisco real
estate and mortgages short"

THE platform adopted by the Kearnev
Convention is just about the same sort of
q platform rs the rev Constitution is a
Constitution. The two documents exhib-
it the same general features of buncombe
and redundancy. 1t is no wonder that
men who would vote for such Constitu-
ton should adopt such platform. Both
talk about aboishing land monopoly
without interfering with vested rights

CAN'T SAY.-The Solano Republican,
strongly for the New Constitution and an
advocate of the Workingmen's Party,
questions whether Clerk Of the Supreme
Court is to be elected under the New
Constitution. The following extract
from Article VI on Jud iciai Department
would appear to contemplate that such an
officer might at some time become neces-
sary perhaps:
Sec. "a. The Legislature shall pro-
vide for the election OF Clerk of the
Supreme Court, and shall fix by law his
duties and compensation, which compen-
saton shall not be increased or diminished
during the term for which he shall have
been elected.

THE principal bias eyed merchant of
Chinatown, went out to deliver load OF
old gumboot brandy, rice, and fish of the
catch Of the 18th century. On his way
he imbibed so freely that he magnifed
his importance to such mn extent ms to
cause him to entertain the mistaken idea
thot he knew more about keeping a load-
ed wagon on the grade than the horses
did, John being the boss, had his way.
Result-wagon and team went off the

scratched, wheel knocked into flinders

GaAsr's v1sIr TO cAr1ronStA.-A

sGRArT's VIs1T TO CALTFoRNtA.-A
letter has been received from General
Grant by Chil3s, of the Philadelphia
Ledger, detailing his plans after arriving
in San Francisco. He intends to make
an excursion TO all places of interest on
the Pacific Coast. Afterwards he means
TO stop few days at Virginia, Nevada,
and on his way East will spend a little
time in Salt Lake City, and then take in
Colorado, where he expects 10 make
rather an extensive tour. When he wrote
he had evidently heard nothing about the
plans for giving him public reception in
California and in the Eastern cities, for
he speaks of his Pacific coast journeys ms
though they were to be quiet and enjoya-
bic affairs, and urges Chlds to join him in
San Francisco with n few personal friends
whom he names. Speaking of the pro-
jeoted excursion to San Francisco to meet
the ex President on his return, Chids
says that none OF Grants personal friends
are In any way concered In it or take the
slightest interest In It. The affair, he
adds, Is evidently business speculation,
gotten up by individuals who hope to
make some money out Of the interest felt
by the public in General Grants return.
They are no doubt aided by the railroad
companies, who would naturally be
glad to get the profits on heavy excur-
sion business. Childs says there will be
undoubtedly handsome reception tend
cred to Grant by the City of San Fran
cisco, and few personal friends will
cross the continent To take part in well
coming him, but their trip will be pri.
vate affair, without the slightest political
significance.
