What Some of Our Pacific Exchanges Find
to Talk About

The San Jose Herald urges the estab-
lishment of open air free concerts on the
park there during summer evenings.
The Stockton Independent remarks that
the education department of city is one
of the tests of good government San
Francisco is an illustration of this. There
has been more chicanery, duplicity and
maladministration in the management of
its school affairs than in any other city of
the State.
Santa Barbara Independent. 1t is a well
established and almost universally admitted
fact, that land monopoly is the great evil
that retards the permanent settlement and
better improvement of the State of CAL
ifornia. We hope that the po-
litical parties will take this subject up and
hold the Legislature to a strict account
and make them tell why they neglected
this most important subject.
The Inyo Independent says: The idea is
fallacious that newspapers are printed
merely for the fun of the thing. The glory
of it is too thin to furnish necessary sus-
tenance. A great many good and respon-
sible men seem to have concluded, if they
have thought about it at all, that de-
ferred payment to a newspaper is just as
good as prompt one that, in fact, their
individual bill is so small as to be of no
particular consequence anyhow.
The Berkeley Aduocate says: Had
Charles De Young been promptly brought
to trial, as he should have been, for his
attempt to kill Dr.. 1. S. Kalloch on the
Odd of August, 1879, he would now be
alive, and not on the 23d of April, 1850,
eight months thereafter, be the victim of
the bullet of Rev. l. M. Kalloch, the
Doctors son. Herein we have another
painful illustration of the iniquitous results
of the laws delays. In no other country,
perhaps in no other State in this country,
could such procrastination have obtained.
Public safety and public decency demand
that there shall be a speedy reform in this
direction.
The Marysville Appeal, on the agitation
for the division of the State says: The Los
Angeles members of the late Legislature
asked for branch of the State Normal
School, and the appropriation failing they
at once resolved to "secede." They ask
for division and creation of new State
They want to dissolve partnership, with
draw their share of the capital and set up
business for themselves. Northern and
Central California have supported the
whole State for quarter of a century, and
now comes in what is termed Southern
California" and demands her discharge
from the parental roof" She sis of age"
and proposes to withdraw and set up
rival State if possible.
Oakland Tribune. No principle is better
established than that the individual who
does not interfere with public affairs, and
who seeks and delights in only the privacy
of his own home and business, is not amen
able to public criticism. There can
be no doubt that all persons who aspire to
public honors, or to share in the money of
the public, are amenable to public criti-
cism that criticism should be high toned,
fair and honorable, and only those pecca-
dilloes of an individual of which it is useful
or necessary the citizens should be in
formed for their proper enlightenment or
protection, should be exposed. All beyond
this amounts to malevolent scandal or libel,
and should be decried by all right-thinking
men.
