BETTER LATE THAN NEVER.


We are pleased to see that at last an
active movement has been originated for
the preservation of the old Mission Church
of San Carlos, in Carmelo valley. In re-
cent account of Monterey we took occasion
to comment upon the singular apathy ex-
hibited by the Pioneer Societies towards
this venerable and interesting historical
monument and relic, and We perceive that
the gentlemen who have undertaken the
new enterprise make an appeal to those or
CARNATIONS in the circular which they have
issued. 1t cannot be doubted that it is the
duty of the Pioneers to respond to this in
vitation. In fact they ought not to have
waited until somebody else logged their
memories regarding their responsibilities.
The preservation of such relics as the old
Church of San Carlos belongs naturally
and inevitably to them, and if they have
not sufficient appreciation of their obliga-
tions to realize this they had better dis
band, and give up all pretense of caring for
seoooSis1sAOilo SlANA Va
the State Whether, however, the proposal
to "repair" the San Carlos Church is the
best the situation admits OF, is another
question, and one which ought not to be
passed upon hastily. In most cases what
are called reservations are failures. They
destroy the harmony of the edifices to
which they are applied, and substitute
certain SNUG newness which is ex-
tremely unsatisfactory. Nor is 1t certain
that the San Carlos Church could be
effectually restored without almost rebuild
ing it. More than half of the roof would
have to be replaced, and indeed all the
upper work would need remodeling. 1t
may therefore be doubted whether it
would not be in better taste simply to
guard the old building from the weather,
and clear away the masses OF rubbish
which have been allowed to accumulate
inside it. All this, however, may be de-
termined after fund has been raised to do
the necessary work. At present the point
in order is subscriptions, and we hope to be
able to announce shortly that the Pioneer
Societies have responded literally and
promptly to the call upon them.

The Southern Democrats are quite equal
to plot of this kind, and though Con-
gressional investigation is spoken of now,
it is difficult to see how such an inquiry
can undo the evil that appears to have
been DONE OF course any serious doubt
as to the honesty of the census must vitiate
its statistics, and it is evident that the rest
OF the country will not be willing to let the
South fix its own representation by pack
ing the census, as it has already fixed
its own political status by stufing the
ballot box. But no matter how this sub
ject is approached We come back always
to the fundamental defect of the situation,
which is the conformation by the country
of the thoroughly non-American condition
of Southern society. We are trying, with
desperate patience, TO make believe that
we still have 4 Government by the people,
OF the people, and for the people, whereas
in the Southern States nothing of the
kind exists, or has existed since the close
of the rebellion. We go through
the motions of democratic political meth
DDS, and pretend to believe that we are still
under majority rule. But in ten States OF
the Union we know well that the ballot is
farce and mockery, that opinion is not
free, that the rights of citizenship are mat
tiers of color and caste, that fraud and force
are openly employed to bear down opposi-
ton, and that the principles upon which
the rest of the country processes to act are
there utterly disregarded. We know also
that the anticipated result OF any South
ern election will be the fruit of violence
and intimidation, and that hundreds of
thousands of citizens in those States have
been, and to-day are, deprived of the fran
chise. While this state Of things contin-
ues there can be no legitimate democratic
government anywhere in the country. The
North is always liable to be overcome by
the lawless methods of the South, and since
these methods do not represent the
natural dominance of the majority, it is
impossible that they should be submitted
to long. The stuffing of ballot boxes and
the Justification of the census are under the
circumstances quite natural at the South,
but such practices must lead either to
retaliation at the North, and that would
involve general Mexicanization of the
whole country, or they must nerve
patriotic men to movement which will
finally result in the disfranchisement of
the South. The latter will have to amend
its ways peaceably, or it will of necessity
be deprived of the means political cheat
ing. No country can submit to the frauds
and lawlessness which have now become
chronic at the South, without surrendering
its hold upon ordered government, and
falling into anarchy and political chaos.

EXPERIMENTAL SILK CULTURE.-An en-
terprising lady of New Orleans has done
wonders in experimental silk culture. She
procured year ago more than 1000 eggt
OF the silk-worm, and In a small room as
her dwelling. house succeeded in Matching
out a number of worms But the greatest
obstacle she had to contend with was the
difficulty of obtaining food for the worms,
as she had no mulberry trees on her
grounds. She finally heard of a place
which contained many fine specimens of
the famous morus multicaulis, the owner
of which kindly permitted her to take as
many leaves as she desired The lady hired
some boys to pick the leaves, and thus pro.
cured a sufficlency Of food for her pets.
She perseyered, and succeeded in harvest
ing over 1000 fine cocoons. This season
she intends to make the experiment on
larger scale. as she has obtained more than
so. 600 eggs, and will look for convenient
place to hatch them and attend to the
worms. She has sent specimens of the
cocoons to France, to Italy and the New
Jersey silk manufacturers, and has been
rewarded for her industry and persever-
ance by the high opinion those who have
seen these specimens entertain of the Lou
isiana cocoon. Now that the proper
method of Matching the eggs, caring for
and attending to the worms is known, it
will be strange if more ladies do not take
an interest in this valuable industry.

PUTTING ON THE SCREWS.

The American press cannot but be inter-
ested in knowing that the paper makers
have just held their annual meeting, and
that they have been discussing the best
methods of keeping, up the present high
prices of paper by limiting production, and
other devices familiar to monopolists. The
American press must also reflect that these
gentlemen have been fortified in their mo.
nopoly by the refusal OF Democratic Con-
gress to raise finger for the relief of the
oppressed and plundered publishers of the
country, but that this same Democratic
Congress encouraged the monopolists to go
in and bleed their victims more freely by
giving them practical assurance that moth
ing should be done to check their rapacity
for another six months. 1t is still more
interesting to recall the fact that the DEM
ocratic party calls itself the party of Free
Trade, and demands tariff for revenue
only" in its last platform.

A PREMATURE PROPOSITION.

A Liberal Association in England has
proposed the substitution of an elective
Senate for the hereditary peers. No doubt
it is the privilege OF these Liberal theo-
rizers to propose that or anything else they
please, but if anybody dreams that such a
proposition possesses any special signifi-
canoe, they are astonishingly i'll informed
concerning the strength of the conservative
tendency in England. There may come a
time when the House of Lords will yield
its place to an elective Senate, but no man
now living will see the change. The En-
glish people are not yet tired OF their peers,
though they are accustomed to rate them
soundly at intervals. There is no general
yearning after democratic forms of gov
eminent in the tight little island, in
fact, though occasional Yankee travellers
think they have discovered some such
prediction. The truth is that con-
servatism is perhaps the most
powerful mental habit of the En-
glish masses, and this fact is not suf-
fciently realized. 1t is not the case that
The aristocracy alone cling to old forms and
customs. The lower classes are really far
less radical than the upper ones. No
doubt it is possible to find plenty of lower
class radicalism in the great cities, such as
London and Manchester and Birmingham
and Liverpool, but the great mass of the
population is scarcely tainted with this
passion for change, and would be certain
to resist any serious attempt at abolishing
the House of Lords with the utmost de-
termination. In fact England is a long
way from revolution of any kind, except
in regard to the tenure of land, and the
change which appears to be preparing in
that regard has been forced by the compe-
tition of foreign countries rather than by
any home agitation.
