COMING To CALLFORNIA.


The editor of the Downey City
Outlook, published in Los Angeles
county, California, gives some facts
that our readers should be in posses.
SION Of, especially those who contem-
plate moving to the Golden State. He
remarks
We have from time TO time received
many letters from the Eastern States,
as well as the Canadas, asking a great
variety OF questions in regard to South
ern California. What are the chances
for man can TbS bSOr has %ad dtqo e gOAsy 4EcrS
any Government land2 What's the
price Of land held by private parties
Are the wages goodY Can one make
money raising stock 2 What are the
various industries ? And so on dd in.
fnitum.
Tho variety and number of these
questions, and the wide range of coun
try from which they come, show con
clusively that Southern California is
attracting, perhaps, moro attention
than any equal scope of country on
the globe. But these questions, some
how, SAVIOR of theidea that the querists
are looking for "soft thing
It is proper that tho minds of all
should be disabused in regard to this
country. The climate is unsurpassed
the soil is exceedingly rich the range
OF productive capacity is almost with.
out limit; the facilities for reaching
distant markets are improving daily
for the schools are equal to the best
and, view this country from any pos
siblo standpoint, it is n good land to
live in-pelhaps better than any other
But the conditions of success are the
same here as elsewhere. There /,
nothing in the climate and soi that
changes human nature. A shiftless
lazy man in the East would probably
be the same on the coast. Here the
penalty Of improvidence is poverty, in
efficiency, failure. 1t is true one could
drag out sort Of existence, and escape
the physical suffering that he must ex
perienco during the severe seasons il
other localities, but IN 80 lar as he
wants the necessary supplies of life, ht
must obtain them as they do in Other
lands, or go without them. The days
of bonanzas, except in rare instances
are past. There are but few short cut
to a fortune. The only hocuspoous BY
which TO bring about valuable results
is tho exercise of clear brain, will
ing hand, and q brave heart.
Southern California has large un
occupied field for capital and patient
skilliu industry. Those who cannot
command the one or the other haC
better stay away. The easy places
were all taken sometime siaoe, ifther,
ever were any.
What we now specially need is tha
class OF immigrants who will be salts
fed to take hold with energy anC
patiently await results. Rough it, i
necessary and our word for Il, fcv
yeara will bring q seasonable compe
tencc, which one can always enjoy il
a land that ought to fill any reasonabl,
measure of earthly comfort and hap
piness, '

A LITTLE SLIM.-Those tremendous
Radical victories gained (on paper) in
California and Maine, turn out little
slim since the returns are all in.
Blaine did not elect his Governor in
Maine, nor did the "Sand Lotters" and
RAIDS elect all the Congressman in
California. 1t seems that Blaine crow
ed before he was out of the woods,
His candidate for Governor must be
elected by the Legislature, while the
Democrats and Greenbackers get away
with lots of Sheriffs, Prothonotaries
etc, that last for three years, and OF
fat salaries, while the Governor anC
members OF the Legislature only las
one year. Such was Blaine's plan. II,
would trade off these three.year Offices
for q one.ycar one. This was to affec
the foreign political market. More
The Democrats elected a Congressman
in California, while Blaineism wa
crushed out everywhere, 1t was near
being another sunstrokc If the Radi
cal editors would only tell their read
ers that Blaine traded off a $4,000 OF
fee for 5000 member of the Legisla
ture, their readers could place prope
estimate upon their man.

THE REPUBLICAN PARTY MORE HEARTILY UNITED

THE REPUBLICAN PARTY MORE HEARTILY UNITED
THAN 1T HAS BEEN BEFORE SINCE 1872.
Ex-Congressman Eugene Hale, of Maine, was met
ot the Fifth Avenue Hotel on Monday by a TRIB-
rEE reporter Just as he was about departing.
"Sorrv have not time to talk with you,0 said Mr.
Hale, but have only five minutes to spare II L
catch the train. One thing | would like to say,
though. | have been at home and on the wing for
the past two months and have seen enough to con-
vince me that upon the issues which the Democrats
arc making the Republican party is getting into
better fighting trim than it has been in for years"
How does 1t look in Maine %
"In Maine, in those parts where our defeat was the
worst in 1873, the feeling is excellent, and every
body is eager for the canvass to begin"
"What will be the issues OF your campaign this
year ~
1--WE shall fight the battle in September on the
proposition of n sound currency for the people, and
above all that the Government shall he kept out of
the hands of the men who tried to destroy 1t once
and who are ready for any revolutionary resort to
get control of it now"
" What do the Republicans you meet say about
"lhe Presidents veto of the Army bill was
welcomed by every Republican with whom L
have talked and the fact that the party IN the
Executive and Legislative branches was pulling
together has made Il heartieT feeling than L have
know since 1872. My judgment is that the under
current IS much stronger for us than is generally
believed. There Will be deal of hard lighting to
do but am bad guesser If the end OF the year
does not see us dominant in all contested States III
which elections are to be held in 1879"
