The Late Democratic Presidential Can.
didate.

General Hancock is General Hancock
still, but he is none the worse for that.
The campaign in which he has been de-
feated has not hurt him. On the con-
trary, the country knows him much
better than it ever knew him before,
and its enlarged information concern
ing him is all to his advantage. The or
deal through which he has passed has
been no ordinary one. He has had to
meet in one way or another misconcep-
ton and misrepresentation, but all that
he has done SO admirably that it
might be difficult to say in which
party he had the most admirers. He
has proved himself invulnerable to the
shafts of party SANDER and malignity.
The keenest points have been turned
against the impenetrable armor of char
acter by which he has been protected,
and this element of strength was long
ago confessed by his party opponents,
who desired a campaign free from per-
sonalities, because they could not match
our Achilles, who, if vulnerable in his
heel, has given his enemies no chance
to know it, as he never turns his
heels toward them. The campaign
has resulted in the temporary defeat
of the Democratic party, but General
Hancock is not to blame for it. Per-
sonally, he is as grand in defeat as he
ever was in victory. He HIS u clear
conscience, and in all the oppu- unity
that a hot canvass opens for mistakes
in a Presidential contest he has done
nothing 20 lower his self-respect
or lower the standard of manliness
which the world has associated with
him. He has no reason to be sorry that
he accepted the leadership to which he
was assigned by the action of the DEM
ocratic party. 1t was a patriotic
act on their part. and on his. He is a
man eminently worthy the confidence
of any party, and, as we have already
stated. the broader acquaintance with
his character and abilities that has re-
suited from his candidacy is of value to
the test of analysis. His patriotism
at every point has been found
without speck or flaw. His knowl-
edge of the principles upon which
our system of government rests,
and his appreciation of the considera-
tions that should rule in every depart
ment of that Government, are rem5Sovo

The Pope has issued an encyclical
placing Cyril and Methody on the list
of saints, and appointing them day
on the calendar, in recognition of what
they did among the SlaGs. He directs
that they be prayed to and invoked
throughout the whole world that they
may protect the Catholic religion on the
East.
A strong petition was offeredin the
Episcopal Diocesan Convention, in
New York, praying for the abolition of
special rights to pews in churches.
The petitioners believe that the prac-
tice, never prevalent until within few
years, of renting pews and seats in adj
vance, smacks a great deal of sharp
business. They claim that every church
should belong as much to the poor as
to the rich, and that mans spirit, in
stead of his clothes and his money
should determine where he may sit or
kneel.
I'm Berlin, says a Lutheran paper,
there are but seventy-three pastors
with twenty-four assistants for its mill
ion souls. One Sunday recently the
pastor of st. Thomas baptized one
hundred and twenty-five children and
married nine couples. None of the
pastors spend less than twelve hours a
week in cateehetical Instructions; some
spend twenty-five hours, or as much as
q public school teacher. The clAasos
average seventy, and pastor may
have as many as five hundred to seven
hundred children in charge.
The admission of women to the
classes in arts, laws and science in Uni
versity College, London. inaueurated
two years ago. seems to have met with
most gratifying success. In the re-
cent examinations both Latin prizes
and one of two Greek prizes were
awarded to women, and. as a proof
that the required standard is not low,
it is stated that the second competitor
for the Latin prize has won an Oxford
scholarship. In French two prizes out
of three were awarded to women, in
English four out of nine and the only
one in political economy. These facts
cannot fail to give encouragement to
those who favor and urge higher sys-
tenn of female education.

We have streams without number,

mand of any one almost anywhere.

has much to learn from its plucky

upon the National ranch, San Di-

THE exhibit of temperate zone
fruits at the horticultural Pavilion,
as o whole, would do honor to any
of the noted fruit States OF the
Union, while the grape display,
though by no means so complete
as it might easily have been made,
lie such as to excite the astonish-
ment of visitors from the East.
Canned fruits, cheeses, butter, and
other homely horticultural and ag-
ricultural products, show up hand
somely. The specimens of tall
corn, of big squashes and beets, of
mammoth ounces, and other
kitchen garden vegetables and
fruits. are very superior, and show
very plainly what a commanding
position Los Angeles county and
Southern California are destined
to attain as producers, leaving
their citrus specialties and semi
tropical fruits out OF the question.
We expect, before another half
dozen years have rolled around, to
see an exposition of the dairy pro-
ducts OF this county which will
excite the respectful consideration,
perhaps the envy, of the cheese
men of Goshen. On the whole,
we feel like demanding a supple.
mental Citrus Fair, to be dedicated
to oranges, lemons, lines, pome-
granates, bananas, and the other
fruits in which this section has no
competitor on the Pacific Coast
within the limits Of the United
States. Such u Fair could be held
in the early spring, when the or.
anges are at their ripest, and the
spectacle would be memorable for
the exquisite ornamentation that
orange boughs and pomegranate
blossoms would admit Of A scene

thing in the Arabian Nights, could
then be easily evolved. But, as |,
Is, we are very we'll satisfied. The
Exposition has realized the expec'
tations Of the most exacting. II
has shown that we have made ire.
mendous advances in the cultiva.
ton of the more homely farm pro.
ducts, and it has demonstrated that
our farmers are fast reaching a
stage at which they need envy no

celsior has been and will continue
