BADLY NEEDED The Republicans of
California need frs:-class paper in SIN
Francisco devoted to their interests. The
Alta is Republican and good in its way,
but it is commercial and gives politics
secondary consideration the Post is true,
but an evening paper whose rews is old
when it reaches the interior the Call is
non committal and occupies the place of
u blank in political journalism the
Chronicle is Bastard and has forfeited, if
it ever had any claims to, the support Of
Republicans or decent people of any par
ty or class. TIE Sacramento Record
Union is fair sample of what is needed,
if it was only published in the metropolis.
Cannot the Republicans OF San Francis
co start good, decent morning news
paper in that city and make It success /?
There are thousands in the interior who
would gladly support such paper, who
are now forced to take the wishy~washy
Call or the dirty Chronicle, or do without
the news fIom that city. The times are
now ripe for Republican journalistic
enterprise in San Francisco, the success
of which seems to be assured.

SAMUEL EyURBELy..

AN AccURsED SPoT.--A lady who re-
Gently visited Mountain Meadows, in
Utah, tells the Salt Lake Tribune that
they are now the very picture of desola-
ton. Before the Mormons murdered l3l
innocent mer. women and children there
in 1857, the Meadows were known far and
wide rs n paradise in the desert, with an
abundance OF grass, crystal streams and
ever flowing springs. To day the grass
IS gone, the water courses dried up, and
nothing but weary waste marks this
once heoutiful spot. 1t seems as If God g
curse is upon it as it is lpon those who
murdered the innocent emigrants, and
the rude monument upon which is in
scribed, "Vengeance is mine, will repay
saith the Lord" is there to keep green in
memory the terrible scenes enacted by IA
murderons and rapacious priesthood.
Tho earth, our informant tells US, is sink =
ing, and the bones which were gathered
up after the massacre have thrice been
buried, but will out to tell the damning
tale. Settlers in the vicinity say the
country is haunted, and the winds bring
t. their ears piercing cries for help, which
echo back to the mountains and over the
plain,

MARY CLEMENS pen portrait Of Soma
tor Hi is as follows: "lIe has been "A
Methodist preacher or class leader, and
"A certain aroma of sanctimoniousness
seems to emanate from his sandy face, or
10 hover over it like an aura. His
hair is sandy, touched with gray wit h a
slight fringe of tla same below his chin.
ills mouth is clean cut and resolute, his
nose not an impressive member, his eyes
light blue, with certain meditative, in
controverted light in them which shows
that he does considerable thinking, after
fashion of his own. Blaine is energet>
ic and spasmodic, shaking his iorefn ger
perpetually in speaking, while Hill whines
and drawls as if be were offering an in
cantation at prayer meeting or Dun
ker love feast"

SATISFACTORY The Vest Coast Sig
nal, which strongly favored the nomina-
tion of Evans for Governor, falls into
lire and will do good work for the "Salor
Boy" nominee. This is what its editor
says ION the ground Of availability
we favored the nomination of Gen. Evans
over that of Major Geo. G. Perkins,
Our personal opinion of the latter gentle
man is well-known. The fattering vote
by which he was nom mated on the first
ballot is to US sufficient evidence that he
is certainly the first choice of the Repub,
licans Of the State. The Signal will ac-
cord to Geo. G. Perkins, as the nominee,
the same cordial support which Gen.
Evans would have received had he sue
ceeded in his aspirations.

WELL REcEIvED.--E Every Republican
paper in California comes straight out in
favor Of George G. Perkins and the bal
ance Of the Republican nominees, and the
better class of Democratic journals con-
cede it to be strong ticket and one
which they hope to see win if the Democ~
racy must be beaten. 1t is generally
conceded on all sides that the Republicans
will come out ahead and they are con-
graduated upon the excellence of their

At Red Hill, June 2Sth, ANNA, wife of
Henry Jacobs, native of New Orleans,
Louisiana, aged % years, months and
II days.
Mid lovely flowers. and golden scenes,
They laid our loved one down to rest,
Where brightest birds, with silvery wings
Sing their sweet songs upon her grave,
And the sunbeams soft and pearly beams
With prairie grasses DER it wave
No simple stone e'er marks the spot
Where sister sleeps in dreamless sleep
But the moaning wind, with mournful
sound,
Doth nightly o'cr it virgils keep.
The careless tread of savage feet,
And the weary travellers, pass it by,
Nor heed they her who came so far
In her youth and innocence to die.
But her happy spirit scared away
TO blissful cimes above;
She found sweet rest and endless joy
In her bright home of Love.
MARY JACOB.
LINES ON DEATH OF ANNA JACOB.
0 Sister since you left your home
And the one You loved so dear,
We all do mourn for you alone
how we wish you hero,
0 Sister the time seems long
Since last heard you sing a song ;
And our home is so lonely
Since we can think of you only.
Sister say unto thee :
For in Heaven believe you to be-
Remember us and pray for we,
And We will not weep for thee
So sister dear, good-by,
For the time is nigh
When we will meet you in the sky,
And then the king of death defy.
She turned to her sorrowing husband still,
"Weep not" she said "nor be so i'll
Tomorrow | will go from Red Hill
TO the burying-ground at Weaverville."
To her weeping mother she said,
"Oh mother cry not for me when l am
dead,
You must not weep nor take it so hard
For | am going to Heaven to live with
tho Lord"
"0h brother !" she said, 81 am going
away
But | hope to meet you at some future
day
On tho shores of Heavens bright bay
On or before tho Judgme mt Day."
So thus she passed away
Just in her youth and bloom,
And was laid down in the clay
And to-day she rests within her tomb.
Yours Truly.

CoNGREssIoNAL.-It is a peculiar cir.
cumstance that the Republicans Of Cali-
fornia have this year nominated the same
candidates for Congress in each District
as they did two years ago, and must be n
6attering compliment to each Of the gem
tlemen Horace Davis in First District I;
Frank Page in Second 10 McKenna in
Third and r. Pacheco in Fourth. 1t will
be remembered that the Republicans
elected three last time but Pache co was
robbed of his seat. This time we should

Local INDoRsEMENT.- .-Referring to
the nomination Of Joseph Cone of Red
Bluff for Railroad Commissioner, the
Pe0p'e'S Cause (Republican) says:
Mr.. Cone is one of the oldest and most
entefprising farmers, stock rai,ers and
general business men in Tehama county,
possessing great ersatilty of business
talent, coupled with remarkable energy,
industry and good jud sment, and is one
OF the largest grain and wool shippers in
Northern California. He is one of the
principal owners in the Sierra Flume
Company: hns several nusnnd dollars
invested in the large mercantile firm of
Cone ~ Weton and is one OF the prlnci-
pal stock holders in the Bank of Tehama
County. His success as n business man
has been wonderful not having met ith
any serious reverses in thirty years
residence in California and twenty-five
years IN Tehama county. His private
affairs have been well conducted, which
is sufficient guarantee that AS Railroad
Commissioner he will dea with the great
question of freights and fares with equal
and exact justice to all.
And the Democratic Sentinel pays him
this compliment:
We do not agree with Mr.. Cone pohti-
cally, and shall support our own candid
ate; but as his old neighbor and friend
we frankly admit that more honest OF
capable man c-uld not have been select
ed: and it now behooves the Democratic
Convention to put our best man in the
field.

The cotton crop in Delta county Is simply

short, yet in some crops very good and Ia all

weight or more. The corn In many localities
is much injured by the drouth, but there are
some fine crops of corn. The oat crop has
been good where the crop was planted early,
but the later planting not SO good.
A party Of thieves, fourteen in number, Wis
tied the Cardenana rancho one night last

The thieves effected an entrance through the

their arms In another room, and were sur
prised before they could do anything, and
pretended to be caught sleeping when sur
rounded by the thieves. 1t is said that they
know some OF the party who committed the
depreciation. Cardenana Is situated In Hidalgo
county, in the back country.
