POkisg Fun ~ Kearney ana she
Chronicle.
NEW YORK, June 1.-THE World
has an editorial good humoredly
criticizing California under the
rev Constitution, ridiculing the
Chronicles 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 San Francisco
than Gomorrah, Kearney himself
has said 1t, and it is greatly to his
credit that he ia the only man upon
the Pacific Slope who is not
'bummer," nor a "bondholder,"
nor q "blatherskite.r He is the
Lot-even the Sand Lot, as 1t were
of the Western city of the plain.
Inasmuch as we have it from an
ancient associate and admirer of
his, and fervid advocate of the
new Constitution, that even Kear-
ney is not righteous, there seems
to be no earthly reason why Cefes-
tial and avenging fires should be
any longer withheld, and bold
spectators will, perhaps, begin at
once to sell San Francisco real es-
tate and mortgage short.
