AGRICULTURAL GOOD REpUrE.

The position of most California and
Oregon farmers just now exempifies the
" dog Tray fable. Our farmers, as 4
class, stand condemned. Their wheat has
deprecated in the foreign market to
low-grade price, because of the ''dirt
sacked up with it, and other evidences o!
carelessness- put it miidly-in clean
ing Produce Exchanges and shippers
have resolved against the farmer,
and the country press, with one voice,
have read him long and severe lectures,
and united in his condemnation, to all
which no satisfactory response has been
made. By this silence the public is com.
PEELED to find a verdict of guilty, and con-
clude that the honest Changers have
enough OF black sheep in their flock to
give all a bad name by their attempt to
foist upon our English cousins cheat, 3"
specimens OF our sun-dried adobe, selected
gravel from our streams, foul seed, etc,
for the true grain. The result OF this at
tack and condemnation, late as it is, must
be reform. 1t is to be regretted that
doubt as to the innate honesty of tho
tillers Of the soil should have been en-
gendered in this matter, but it has, and it
is just as well to waste no time in making
a defense, but to set about in repentance
and good works to correct the evil which
caused the bad repute. Pacific coast pro-
duceTs are too far removed from the
worlds great marts, and have too many
anxious rivals to contend with, to take any
more chances. They must win, if at all,
because of the superiority OF their product
The few who have, by carelessness in
cleaning and downright dishonesty in sack.
ing grain, brought all the wheat producers
into disrepute, should be so dealt with by
their honest fellows as to put all future

OPPORTUNITY TO CORRECT.

4 census enumeration informs Us that he
believes the fourteen enumerators en-
ploycd here have unavoidably missed
registering large number in excess
Of the estimate we made yester-
day upon The best information then OBJ
tainablc. To-day and tomorrow the
enumerators are required to be at the
Courthouse to add to their numerical roll
OF inhabitants any who may have been
omitted. 1t should be deemed a duty and
i privilege by every person to aid in this
work, and if they know of resident who
has been absent during the enumeration,
or i, not probably listed, they should take
some pains to sec that the fact is reported
to the enumerators at the Courthouse to-
day. Very much depends, as We pointed
out few weeks ago, upon correct taking
OF the census, and those who wish their
country well can materially aid it by aid
ing the cnumerators as suggested 1t IS a
matter OF serious consideration whether a
mistake was not made in fixing the census
period at this season of the year, and whether
fuller and more reliable returns would not
have been secured by an enumeration made
late in the fall or early in the winter, when
people are more Likely to be at their homes
and would be more inclined to give atten-
ton to the matter.

A SUGGESTION TO PIONEERS.

The Sacramento Society of California
Pioneers has adopted a long and glowing
eulogium, setting forth the virtues and
services of General John a. Suffer. It
concludes with these words g 1t is proper
''that this Society, which always observes
g the decease of any of its members, should
"take some appropriate action to attest its
appreciation of the life, character and
'sservices of one who was its most distin-
60 guished and honored member, and the
foremost of pioneers. That is all very
well upon paper but If the Sacramento
Society of California Pioneers really wishes
''to take some appropriate action to attest
&c its appreciation, etc, y let it possess itself
of the small plat of raised ground where
Suffer built his fcrt It is historic soil,
and whatever estimation people may have
of the old pioneer, they one and all look
upon the site of Suffers Fort with regard.
There is now standing but one solitary
adobe structure of all the original build
ings, and that is fast crumbling to ruins.
The Sacramento Society of California
Pioneers is able to save the grounds,
restore them to something like their old
condition, prevent the barrack-housc from
going to further decay, and preserve the
spot as a perpetual landmark, which will
be of even greater interest to the next,
than to the present generation. 1t is
probable that all the Pioneer Associations
of the coast would assist the Sacramento
Society, if need be, in an effort to restore
and preserve the property as fitting mon
ument to the memory of him whom they
have aptly pronounced to be {" the foremost
'of pioneers.

TIE DECLINE OF ENTHUSIASM.

It is undoubtedly the fact that there has
been very considerable decline of enthu-
sasm OF late years, and the cause is obvi-
Gus. When this Republic was founded the
world was passing through a stage of
abnormal exaltation. a newly awakened
belief in and passion for Liberty animated
all Europe. From the excited brain of
fevered France poured forth all manner of
exalted theories concerning the civilizing
and elevating effects of Freedom. Democ-
racy was apotheosized, and it was be-
lieved that in republican institutions were
to be found all the remedies for all
the ills from which society had previ-
ously suffered. But century Of
experience has convinced Americans that
democracy is very imperfect cure
for many evils, and thatit brings in its train
dangers almost as formidable as those from
which it at first seems to relieve those who
resort to it. The abuse Of Liberty has
been too great and common and unavoida-
bic for the old belief in its infalhbility to
survive. As a result men have ceased to
repose implicit faith in any form of gov
ernment, and it is no longer possible to
arouse enthusiasm such as was the most
conspicuous feature OF all political life
hundred years ago But it would be
mistake to conclude that the loss of
this enthusiasm is to be regretted.
All enthusiasm is linked more or
less with youth aud immaturity.
Passionate reliance upon any remedy
is Only possible in combination with ig-
noranse of the true nature Of the remedy.
Experience ripens the judgment and i'm
proves the understanding We now per-
ceive that education alone can secure an
ordered freedom to any people, and we are
beginning to look still further, and to real
ize that not all education is practical or
beneficial. In short the decline of enthu-
siasm has brought us nearer to the con-
summation of our highest hopes, by open
ing our eyes to the fallacy OF many Of our
beliefs, and by teaching us how best to at
tain the ends which never could have been
reached by the original methods The loss
of enthusiasm may make US less interest.
ing, but assuredly it need not render US
less capable

TEE BRADLAUGH CASE AGAIN.

We yesterday stated our belief that
those who unseated Bradiaugh in the
House of Commons, for his disbelief in a
personal God, would regret their precipi-
fancy before the end was reached. The
news indicates that this regret has already
been experienced, and the kilograms in
form us that the intention to support La
bouchere's resolution to rescnd the vote
has been resolved upon in the Cabinet, and
will be put to the test to. day, and that
many Liberals who voted with the ma
iority before will now sit silent. 1t is
added, on the authority OF the Times, that
the movement will take the form of gen.
eral resolution to admit reelected men,
bers to affirm who may wish to do so !;
and that the belief is entertained that the
Conservatives and Liberals of the majority
will consent to its passage. 1t is, how
ever, intimated that the validity OF such a
resolution as to all availing of it who may
not be Quakers may be attacked by pro-
ceedngs at law. We do not entertain
that fear. If the House shall resolve to
take the back track, its judgment will
hardly be assaulted at law by even those
OF the body who hold to the original and
outrageous decree of condemnation for be-
ief's sake

WHAT MIGHT HAVE BEEN.

A San Francisco paper remarks, with
pardonable chagrin: An idea OF the fu-
20 ture can be formed by considering what
"would have been the complexion of
"things in this city had we spent on man
"ufacturing the eleven millions paid for
Ginning in Nevada last year. That
"money would have gone among our own
people it would have enabled them to
purchase more literally it would have
put !hem in position to acquire home
"steads; it would have increased prop
"erty values, and produced contentment.
" As it was, it went to miners in another
State, who now draw large portion of
their supplies from the other side of the
continent. 1t would have been more
accurate to have considered what the past
would have been had good many more
millions than ''eleven been with
held by San Francisco, not from legitimate
mining investment, but from that kind of
prospecting, drifting and tunneling which
has its chief center of action in the stock
gambling fields of the metropolis, and has
proven the bane of that short. sighted city.
However, the evidences of returning reason
among the citizens Of San Francisco augur
hopefully for the coming years. Whenever
people begin to reflect upon what "might
"have been there is hope for them in the

TALaAGg ccMIEc.

1t has been deemed sufficiently import
ant to flash it acros, the continent that the
Rev. t De Witt Talmage, the somewhat
famous Brooklyn preacher, is about to
leave for California on a featuring tour
under engagement to a prominent manager.
Evidently the Rev. Doctor OF Divinity,
who has but recently closed an extended
engagement in England, finds " the road" to
pay better than the church, the rostrum to
be more popular thanIthe pulpit, and hip
podroming as irreverent showmen will
call it-pleasanter than preaching to
regular congregation. Certainly, let DR..
Talrnage come. Californians have a natural
curiosity to see all the attractions, and
will not grudge the few scudi he may reap
by satisfying it in part.
