The Pope's EncycIIcal Letter.

The Pope has just issued q very
lengthy Encyclical Letter occupying
seven columns of the O6serpdtore Ro-
mdno, in which he makes war upon So
cialism, Nihilism and Communism,
which he says initiate no longer secret.
y but openly against Church and State.
The Pope attributes the rise OF all these
sinister agencies to the Reformation,
which he snys opened the sluice. gates
OF skepticism, "till goddess governments
have arisen wherein the Author and
Redeemer Of the world is ignored"
Now it is a we'll known fact that it is
fundamental principle OF the Church
OF Rome that the people in matters con-
nected with religion shall not be allow
ed to think for themselves, but must
take the dogmas Of the Church without
questioning their truth; and it is equally
well known that this principle was the
main issue between Martin Luther and
the church at the time the Reformation
first commenced. It is undoubtedly
true then that the Pope is right IN that
the Reformation allowing people to
think for themselves has stong ten.
dency to lead to skepticisn. and that If
the people would accept without ques.
tlon the teachings OF the Church then
the evils which the Popo speaks Of
would not exist, but the difficulty is to
get the people TO accept those teachings,
and then again the opinion is very gem
eral at the present time that the people
are better off under the goddess gov.
ernments" thnt the Pope speaks OF than
they would be under any government
which would dictate the religious belief
Of tie people.

story that he tells now and told when
he passed here going west III that he Is

that tbero is no wager about it. The

Los ANGELES loses temporarily
Major e. M. Ross, one Of the
Judges-elect of the new Supreme
Court, who went up to San Fran
cisco yesterday to assume the du-
ties of the position to which he has
been called by the people. Judge
Ross is probably the youngest
member OF any Court of last resort
In the United States. He owes his
elevation to a conspicuous personal
and professional worth, the
official recognition of which, in
nearly every case but his own, has
been confined to II much later Pc
riod of life. We shall watch his
career with interest and in the con-
fidence that his section will have
every warrant to be proud of his
record both from an intellectual,
moral and judicial standpoint. His
new field of duty is an arduous one,
but he brings to the discharge of its
responsibilities youth, energy and
ability. We most heartily bid him
God-speed.
Daily Los Angeles herald., 1879-12-16
No ONE who reads the accounts

No ONE who reads the accounts
OF the ravages Of the phylloxera in
France can doubt that California
vineyards will be taxed to their
full capacity to supply the void in
the production of French wines
made by this insect. In some OF
the departments of France the pro-
gress of the pest has as yet been
trifling, but in others the loss of
the vineyardist is appalling, run
ming as high as four-fifths of the to.
tai vines aud crop. All that Cali
fornIa can do to fill the void will be
~ . mere drop in the bucket, and
this cannot fail to be the case for
years to come. Should the French
ever succeed in resurrecting their
vineyards it can only be after years
OF labor; and, by that time, our ex-
oellent California wines will have
established themselves unassaila-
bly, in the public favor. The best
eonnoisseurs on the Pacific Coast
now unreservedly admit that wines
are being made In this State which
need only age to be equal to the
best products of the French, Ger
man and Hungarian vineyards.
Los Angeles county is to-day pro-
ducIng such wines. Knowing our
ability In this line to be almost
llmitless, we hail with pleasure the
marked revival In vine planting
which now characterizes our peo-
pie. The beginners have the
experience and counsel Of such men
~ the Messrs. L. j. Rose and
Matthew Keller and they cannot
we'll make any serious mistakes.
1t sounds very strange now that
quite a number of onr vlneyardists
tore up their old vines four or five
years ago to replace them with or
ange trees. The orange is undoubt-
edly . very profitable tree; but, as
compared with the product of the
vine, its fruit has a market which
10 restricted both by the great num-
Der Of places in which it is produced
spontaneously and by its perisha'
ble nature. The same age which
gives an added value to wine rots
the orange. With millions of or
ange trees already planted out, we
can very judiciously devote oul
surplus energies to extending oul
vineyards.
