MoRMoN EXAMPLES.


A New York paper draws attention to
the fact that the Mormons are securing
immigration from Europe over the heads
of other communities on this continent
simply by their push and enterprise. They
send out agents all over Europe, and these
agents are constantly making converts and
dispatching them to Utah. The Mormons
are hard-headed, practical people, and
Brigham Young was an excellent man Of
business. He saw years ago that it was
possible to increase the numerical strength
and the aggregate wealth of his church by
sedulous touting, and he established the
system which has already had such great
results. OF course any State could do the
same thing. California could without diff
fcultY obtain steady immigration of 90
600 year if she would take the pains to-
solicit it. The cost of such enterprise is a
mere bagatelle, and communities too parsi-
monious to afford it are as foolish and as
much behind the age as the business man
who does not advertise,

THE MIocENE INJUNCTION.

The battle of litigation over the "debris y
question has been opened by the farmers
with an attack upon the Miocene Mining
Company, in Butte county. Upon the
solicitation of the compliments the Attor-
ney. General has authorized suit to be
brought in the name of the State against
this corporation, and pending its hearing
and decision Judge benson has issued an
injunction to the defendants, restraining
them from the continuance of hydraulic
mining. The action against the Miocene
Company will not stand upon the same
legal basis as the suits previously brought
1t will have the advantage, SO far as the
plaintiffs are concerned, of being put in the
shape of direct, and ESQ far as can be seen
now an unavoidable issue. Heretofore all
the actions had for the restraint of hydraulic
mining have gone off upon subsidiary is
sues. The Courts prefer to decide or
rather get rid of cases in this way, when
the magnitude of the interests involved is
such as to render downright decision
upon the central question one of more than
ordinary significance and delicacy. They
are at such times thankful for any such
condition of things as may enable them to
hold that there has been misjoinder of
parties, or something equally apart from
the real issue. In the endeavor to obtain
legal relief, the farmers have heretofore
been baffled by these outside obstacles and
diversions. In the case of the Miocene
Company, it would seem that evasions of
the kind referred to would be impracticable.

TIE DANGER OF COMBINES ENEMIES

At the outset of the present Albany
contest we pointed out that Conkling had
one great advantage on his side: his
friends were standing on solid ground,
they knew who they were for, and they
had no endorsements to confront in the
way of alliances. The Administration
men found it comparatively easy to beat
Conkling so long as negative tactics were
in order. They were not lacking in har.
mony while it was only necessary to de-
clare that they did not want Mr.. Conkling
reelected. But when it became necessary
to adopt positive programme, and to say
who they did want elected in the place OF
Mr.. Conkling, the trouble began. 1t is in
fact, thus far, curious repetition of the
Grant fight at Chicago last year. Conk-
lng's friends stand up straight, and though
they are minority they represent very
effective force, because their antagonists
are divided in opinion. AT Chicago
Grants column did not save him, however,
and it is quite as likely that Conkling's
column will fail to save him. The Ad-
ministration men must nevertheless make
up their minds soon, or they will suffer
from the delay.

CANADIAN NOBILITY.

It appears that Queen Victoria has
recently knighted several prominent Cana
dians, and the Canadian papers do not
seem to take kindly to the introduction
of titles in that primitive community.
Whether the propinquity OF republic
has fostered real dislike to this kind of
thing, or whether jealousy and envy have
anything to do with the matter, we cannot
say, but the Dominion press uses very
disrespectful language in the premises.
For example, the Ottawa Herald Observes,
"We shall have more nonsense than our
"good society can comfortably hold, if
"this sort of thing is kept up" The
Toronto Globe remarks caustically, 1--WE
Sc trust the gentlemen feel honored, be.
8" cause that is the only recompense they
"will receive for enduring public ridic1le. :"
Other journals are equally sarcastic or
malicious, and from the unanimous dis.
satisfaction expressed we are inclined to
infer that the Dominion folks are not SO
much above the seductions of artificial
rank as their papers would make it appear.
Human nature is the same all over the
world. and even in this great republic
there is scarcely latent disposition to
admire live lord.

CALIFORNIA WINES LOOKING UP.

The New York Tribune has some cheer
ing remarks about the increased consump-
ton of California wines at the East Il
appears that the failure of the French
vineyards has resulted in so reckless a
manufacture of spurious wines in that
country as to break down the reputation OF
them altogether. The French wine-doctors,
in their desperation, and perhaps also ia
their contempt for the discriminating fac1l-
ties of their customers. have been putting
forth such abominable decoctions that they
have destroyed their own market. And az
it was known that they were using large
quantities of California wines in their
unholy processes, the American public
are coming to the conclusion that it may be
better to drink this wine undoctored.
Consequently the demand for it is
rapidly increasing, and attention once
turned to it we have no doubt
that it will command legitimate
market The chief danger arising from
this access Of prosperity is, as the Tribune
points ont, the danger of spurious wine
manufacture in this country. There is
also danger that some of our viticulturists
may be tempted to put off crude and unfit
vintages upon the market. All this kind
of thing should of course be prevented
whenever possible, but no doubt the chief
safeguard will be competition, which must
secure to the most skillful and consciep-
tious wine growers the reputation and the
public confidence which are necessary to
permanent success in this industry.
