ability in the Chicago Republican Conven-
ton, and the gracefulness with which the
party accepts its work.
The Alameda 4rgus says: at is seldom
that Convention presents for the Office Of
President and VioesPresident better men
than Garfield and Arthur"
The Eureka Leader says: If the Apos-
tie Paul were to run for office on the Re-
publican ticket the Democratic news
papers would dig up his record and print it.
The Los Angeles Herald says: With
Dillaye as the nominee of ONE branch of
the Greenbackers for President, and
Weaver that of the other, all the eccen-
trio people in the United States who never
by any possibility get on the winning side
have an alternative opportunity of sinking
their votes.
The San Jose Mercury says it is sin
eular fact that the Democratic press AL
over the country have received the nomi-
nation of Garfield with so much respect,
many of them frankly admitting the ex-
cellence of the man, and that if a Repub-
hcan is to be President, he will I'LL the pc
siton well and honorable.
The Mammoth City Herald says eve
have the utmost faith in the magnitude and
permanence of the mining industry of this
country, and we believe that but few of
our political economists have grasped the
Importance of this great producer of
wealth and its influence upon the future
position of our country among the other
nations of the earth. l."
The Stockton Independent thinks ii is
lamentabe that the Republican nomina-
ton of Garfield should have placed the
Democrats in such ptiable plight. They
know they can't win the fight with Tilden,
not even with the aid of "Nevy" Pelton
ard the bar'l, 1t was tight pull last time
to carry New York and Indiana. But it
is houeless to win those States tins year
The Yreka Journal euthuses over the
nomination of General Garfield, and says
''That Garfield VIII carry tire majority of
the Electoral College We do not doubt,
and should the Democratic Congress en-
deavor to deprive him of the office, if
honorably elected, we believe the people,
irrespective of party, will condemn such
action by an emphatic expression that viii
strike terror to those who attempt any SUD
version of the peoples rights.
The San Mateo Journal thus solves the
problem to it's own satisfaction " Cali
fornia is now in transition state. The
positive dec6ne Of her mines, the want Of
establishment of manufactures, the incul-
Gated dislike for farming as life vocation
by the most intelligent and best bred
youth of the country, have together made
broken period In her history, out of
which has evolved our social and financial
troubles and distress. There is one grand
outlet to the difficulty ; it is as simple as
it is grand. Educate the best boys to be-
come farmers.
The Nevada Transcript, in its review Of
the mining situation, says; 1.-The gravel
mining industry is more prosperous in this
part of California the present season than
was ever before known to be the case.
Capitalists, not only in this country but
ali through the money centers OF Europe,
are having their attention directed to the
dead river channels that extend through
the SieTas, carrying untold millions of
gold locked up in their subterranean re
cesses. Several extensive partially devel-
oped properties of this character have
changed owners within a short time, and
many other transfers involving the circu-
lation of vast sums of money are on the
taps"
The Carson appeal on photography :
g We always held that superhuous letters
in word should be kickt out Such
plan saves type, writing, and time spent
paving over the leaves of dictionary.
There is a class of people, dying out. thank
heaven, swho think spelling correctly the
chief end of man. A mar who spends all
his life slearnng to spell the double twisted
photographed knots with which our Ian
guage abounds, has very little time to learn
anything else, and is liable to become a
fool in consequence. A man who can spell
is always intruding his accomplishment
upon other people who can't. As well
might man consider he was born great
because he could swallow his front teeth
without winking."
The Desert Evening Meas of Salt 1ake
City thus speaks out the Mormon idea
g The leading men among the Latter-dsy
Saints are as strongly in favor of general
education as any men living, and those
who state to the contrary either make
great mistake or are guilty OF gross inten-
tlonal falsehood. But they see the weak
ness OF the existing system, and the neces-
sity CT radical changes being made in it
before its establishment as the settled
school policy of the Territory, supported
1.-the public revenue. As the representa-
tives of a divinely-revealed religious sys-
TEN they desire to see the children Of its
yotaries trained up in its theology and
spirit, and this cannot be done under
system which bars out the UNCONVENTIONAL,
and indeed is opposed to any thing religious
in its teachings and tendencies"
