The practice of petting notorious
criminals has become so prevalent
as to make farce of much that is
designed to be punishment. The
common belief that the way of the
transgressor is Or should be hard is
being disproved on every hand In
discussing this unhealthy tendency
OF the time the New York journal
of Commerce says: "And now IA
mock philanthropy with lavish hand
begins its questionable minisira-
lions. Those who would never
enter the bare home of the humble
laborer, or take the slightest inter-
est in the sick wife or child of a
poor man whose daily toll brings in
scarcely enough for the merest nee
essaries oflife, will crowd the prison
cell OF noted burglar OR murderer
with the sweetest flowers and rarest
Injuries of the season, and hang
about him in loving tenderness, as
If they could not do enough to testify
their sympathy. Why should not
burglaries, thefts, forgeries and all
manner of crime be rampant among
us when it is so hard to earn an
honest living, and the knaves that
are caught, who find no disgrace in
the striped attire, receive such fiat
tering homage and fare sumptuously
every day? We would make the
labor of the convict harder and
more severe as rule than the nee
essary toll to support our honest
life. Bank robberies and midnight
raids, pistol in hand, upon our
homes or warehouses, would be less
frequent when detection meant five
or ten years of toll on the road or
in the field that would strain their
sinews or blister the hands so dis
dainful of honest toll"

BE FIRM The winds and the
waves beat against the rock planted
in the troubled sea, but it remains
unmoved. Be you like the rock
yonng man. Vice may entice, and
the song and the cup may invite.
Beware-stand firmly at your post.
Let your principles shine forth
unobscured. There is glory in the
thought that you have resisted
temptation and conqured. Your
bright example will be to the world

ner upon a sea-shore; it will guide

The policy pursued by some of
our PARLIAMENTARY, that of
trying to be all things to all men,
reminds us of "a story we once heard:
A man who scorned the name of
trimmer said to the voters in his
Observation-Disclosures, them's my
sentiments, and they are the senti-
ments of an honest man. Still, if
they don't suit the majority of you,
[ would have it understood that
they can be altered"

While the late rains have SEEM

we are informed that many farmers
either did not receive a sufficient

ruined before the showers fell. The
result is that the corn crop will be

Los Angeles cried for the railway soon after it secured it a war against It was inaugurated. Causes over which the railway did not and could not ex- ert any influence brought on a gen. eral depression in business throughout California. Santa Barbara and other towns not blessed nor afflicted with railroads will attest this statement. Now that these causes are passing away and the railway is being extend ed into sections where there is a de mand for Los Angeles products, the city and county are reaping benefits they could not enjoy but for the rail way. 4 Los Angeles correspondent of the San Francisco Bulletin, writing on the 24th of October, says this in point
 The people of Southern California are very hopeful for the future. Espe- cially Is this true of the citizens of Los Angtles County. They admit that it. the articles which have been written upon this section the coloring has been vivid, and that occasionally the writer has drawn somewhat upon his imagination. This tendency to oyerdo matters has not proved benef- cial. On the contrary, the citizens say that much of the recent depression has been produced by it. But just now the prospects are brighter than at any time since the country commenced to attract favorable notice. Merchants and others are beginning to under stand that prosperity does not come of itself simply because the city has been made q great railroad center. It is be. coming realized that individual efforts and enterprise alone can build up Los Angeles to be what the people have every right to expect-the great trading emporium of Southern CalIfOr- nia. The jiZens are reaching out for trade as the railway extends through Arizona. Every month finds some new district in Arizona and New Mexico tributary to Los Angeles Fruits, ba- con, dairy produce are now carried 10 the temporary terminus of the South ern Pacific railroad, and thence trans sphipped by stage for distances of 2jO 10 3UO miles. The people also conf dentially expect that the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe railroad will be extended to Arizona. Then they say the whole of Colorado will be a mar ket for their grapes, apples, pairs, ap- ricOts, peaches, raisins, wIncs and gen eral agricultural produce. There k no reason why, when the railroad con uection is made, the rich mining re- zion of Colorado should not obtain its supplies from southern California. Arizona is now at their doors. As the mining interests of that Territory are developed so their trade is increased. The value of railroad connection is al- ready felt But much more may be invariably anticipated in the future. IL is not surprising, therefore, to find that hopeful spirit pervades all class eS of citizens, merchants, Orchardists and the general farmer alike.

Yesterday MT Manuel Vasquez with his family returned from six weeks trip South, which extended as far as Guavmas. on the Gulf NIr. NaSqueZ reports politics and business dull, with the exception of the Altar District. In this district times are more prosperous and the outlook more promising than for a long period past. Among the great resources of this district are the extensive placer mines, which MT Vasquez thinks it will be impossible 10 wash out in 300 years to come Many poor men are trusted for an out it for the Placers and in a few days return with sufficient dust to pay ug and buy more. As an evidence oi what is being done, MT. Nasqucz brought with him S015 ounces of gold dust and bullion, valued at $1Il9 The gold taken from the Altar Dis trict is all Of very high grade.
 Besides mining there are important grazing and agricultural interests, th' merchants are all busy, grecnback: are unite numerous and are much pre- ferrcd 10 silver. Altogether the pres cnf condition of Altar District k very encouraging and considerable gold may be expected from there this year

Sohns has long been the proprietor of the Rio Grande Hotel, at Los Cruces, hut he considers Arizona t0 be the coming country and he came over to see the best opening for another good hotel. The party was detained two days al Mason's ranche, near the scene of the Indian massacre, and came out with Dr Lyons party after they had been reinforced from Nesilla, to the place where Jones and four others were killed and where the bodies still lay. On the way they buried the thirteen Mexican teamsters who were murder ed in their camp. They lay almost touching each other and were 8 terri ble sight Their cattlc had been shot in their yolzes, and all but one were dead At the time the Mexicans were killed there was another train only a few hundred yards in advance of them with five or six families of emigrants These heard the firing. and made their very best efforts to escape with the horses and light wagons which they had with them but lIr. Sohns thinks they would have fallen victims also mad not the Indians found barrel of wine in the Mexican train.
