1t is difficult to understand how any
other results could have been expected,
though certain journals which were animated
by monomaniacal rancor against associated
capital sought to encouraged our Communistic
Constitution-tinkers by assuring them that
capital would be compelled-in some unex.
planned way-to stay and submit to punish
ment. But no laws can so cause capital to
bear malicious persecution. It can be ex-
PEELED, but it cannot be made to put up with
double taxation. Consequently prepare
tions are being made to withdraw great
masses OF capital from the State. If it has
not been withdrawn already, it is be-
cause there remained hope that the Legis-
lature now in session might be sufficiently
intelligent to amend the most mischieyous
revenue provisions in operation. Should
such amendment not be conceded this
capital will undoubtedly be removed,
and it is necessary to consider what
this means, in connection with the
interests of the community. Suppos-
ing that there are thousand millions of
property in the State. The new Constitu.
ton proposes to put an additional ten per
cent. taxation on the last hundred millions.
The result is the withdrawal of this hun
bred millions from the State. 1t may be
said that this would only restore the origi.
nal situation, but that is not the case.
The withdrawal of one tenth of the tax
able property would not only compel the
remaining nine-tenths to bear the whole
weight of taxation; it would render the
remaining nine-tenths less capable OF bear
ing the burden, for it would depreciate the
value of this remainder. 1t follows, there
fore, that when an attempt is made to i'm
pose unequal taxation upon certain classes
of property, the inevitable effect must he
to impoverish the whole community,
and so, not only to fail of the expected
results, but to make the situation
worse than it was at the beginning.
The truth is that no State can prosper
which does not make equal justice the
foundation of its laws. To the extent
that any section of the community is dis.
eliminated against, that sections paralyzed,
and it's usefulness to the commonwealth
is destroyed. 1t is only when opportuni-
ties, obligations and burdens are made equal,
that the community can flourish. What
ever laws operate injuriously to the &C.
cumulation of wealth are against public
policy. Equity is not mere idea of the
closet it is a necessary condition of
progress and prosperity. Unequal laws are
bad, and bad laws cannot produce good
effects. What California needs most is a
rational system of taxation, and no system
can be rational which taxes the same thing
twice or more, no matter what sophistries
are employed to disguise the act of confs-
cation.

ORGANIZATION OF raB LEGISLATURE.

The Legislature organized yesterday, and
the selection of officers was of good omen.
The Assembly exhibited an encouraging
amount of sagacity in electing W. II.
Parks of Yuba, Speaker. 1t would have
been impossible to better that choice. Mr..
Parks is veteran parliamentarian, an adj
mrable man of business, quick and fertile
of resources, suave and courteous in man
ner, of excellent judgment and cool tenn
per, and in all ways peculiarly well fitted,
both by nature and education, for the re-
sponsible and exacting position he is about
to fill 1t is indeed comparatively seldom
that it is in the power of a legislative body
to facilitate its deliberations by the choice
OF so thoroughly capable Speaker. Mr.
Parks will undoubtedly make the most of
every hour at disposal, and we expect to
see far greater amount of business trans
acted from the one fact that he is in the
chair. The Senate has on its part
shown good sense in unhesitatingly max
ing Mr.. Boruck its Secretary. There is no
man in California SO thoroughly versed in
the duties of the office, or so eminently
fitted to perform them WELL He has
served in it so long that his qualifications
have become notorious, and the very full
ness of his fitness is convincing demon
stration of the wisdom of those princi-
pies of Civil Service reform which he is
so reluctant to accept. Such man as Mr..
Boruck ought to be made perpetual Secre-
tary of the Senate, because he is the best
man for the place. But the spoils system
interferes whenever Democratic Legisla-
ture is elected, and then the business of
the Senate is worse performed, simply be-
cause partisan regulations forbid the selec-
tion of the fittest nan for the supervision
of it. In fact Mr.. Boruck is living ex-
ample of the Justice and practical sound
ness of the principles which nevertheless
he refuses to admit the force Of A more
eg$istical man would have long ago learned
to rNlson from his particular case to the
general proposition.

cifc coast. A good deal of interest is
felt in the probable attitude of the new
Administration towards the Grant "stal
warts. If the statements put forward by
the New York Tribune in SO authoritative
manner may be accepted as expressing
General Garfeld's purposes, 1t is clear that
he wishes to steer safe middle course.
1t is intimated that while he will reward
his friends he will not punish his enemies /;
which means, we suppose, that he will do
nothing to create a quarrel with Conkling
and his school of politicians. Indeed the
rumor that he contemplates offering the
Treasury portfolio to Levi P. Morton, if
true, would seem to indicate distinct de-
termination to conciliate the New York
Senator, for Morton is understood to
be Conkling's choice for a Cabinet
position. On the other hand, the
appointment of Blaine to the Pre-.
miership would be SO pronounced a
concession to the anti Conkling wing Of
the party that it is difficult to see how
harmony could be maintained under
such an arrangement. The programme of
General Garfield will probably be one OF
compromises on all sides. If, as is init
mated, he looks forward to second term.
such programme is necessary to his am
bition. But no course is so difficult or so
doubtful as that which he appears to have
determined on, and if it succeeds in his
hands he will be entitled to great credit
for his political sagacity. The leader who
seeks to satisfy two discordant factions gen.
orally ends in disappointing and offending
both. General Garfield is veteran
politician, but he has never yet shown any
strong inclination to so beyond the limits
of party. He has no doubt often ex-
pressed views embodying the highest
thoughts of his party on many subjects,
but he has been obedient to partisan re-
quirements at test points. So far no indi-
cations have been given by him which
| Justify the inference that he intends to
strike out a new line for himself. On
the contrary, if some of the current reports
about his Cabinet are well founded,
he has no purpose of making any
concession to the reform or independent
element of the Republican party, but is
content to take his political family from
the old-line politicians. The talk about a
Pacific Coast member of the Cabinet still
continues, but opinions differ as to the
identity of the selection. If the views of
the people of California are consulted, Gen.
eral Garfield cannot doubt that Senator
Sargent would be regarded here as the
most suitable representative of the Far
West. His abilities are well known and
appreciated. His knowledge of our needs is
complete, and his long and industrious
public career marks him out for such an
| honor.

Hagerman, Kirkpatrick, Colonel Ellis and
others are mentioned as persons on which the
opposition are likely to combine.
THIRD DIsPATcH.I
CARSON, December 3d.-There was lively
gnashing of teeth yesterday after the Senate
perfected its organization, as many had
hoped that the matter would be delayed
until to-day. thereby sending the Senatorial
election over another week. After the or
gauization had been perfected, cemented and
ciinched on the underside, parties came to
some of the Senators in rage and said that
if things had been delayed another day they
would have had Democratic candidate in
the field with cool million thrown into the
fight. Those who claim to know who the
dark horse is answer all inquiries with
series of knowing winks and mods, and re-
fuse to divu'ge the name of the mystic
rious man VINO il supposed to have
designs on the Senatorial toga. They
claim that the job which has been put
up is OF character which absolutely pre-
cludes any dis closure Of names, and that, if
things can be fixed, there is yet probability
that just at the proper time the new candi-
date-a prominent Democrat-will bound
into the ring and give Uncle Jimmy a
wrestle. 1t is believed that Sharon is at the
bottom of scheme to defeat Fair, and al
ready j. G. Hsgerman, Colonel Ellis, Judge
Jewell and kirkpatrick are talked of as
likely to be the men put forward. 1t is con-
sidered already dead thing that Sharon is
behind the scenes with a good heavy sack,
ready to sink Fairs chances if there ia the
ghost of show. 1t is not supposed for
moment that the willy Colonel is OBJ
livious to these little games being
put up to make the fruits of tie fall
campaign turn to Dead Sea apples in his
hand Several Republican members, who
agreed with some of the designing Democrats
to stand 10 against Fair, have already changed
front, and are being accused right and left
with having been the victims of some myste-
rious influence, which cannot be accounted
for except on a coin hypothesis All the CD.

GERMANY's DISGRACE.

The disgraceful movement against the
Jews in Germany appears to be gathering
fresh momentum, and the barbarians who
have hitherto contented themselves with
railing accusations against their Semitic
compatriots are proceeding to actual vio-
lence. The New Year at Berlin was
ushered in by an attack upon restaurant
frequented by Jews, and those of the hated
race who were in the place were assaulted
and seriously injured. The astonishing
statement is made that the police seemed
powerless to protect the victims or to quell
the disturbance. Ii they were inactive it
can only be believed that the Govern.
ment is really not averse to the
progress of the crusade, in which case
it will not be long before there is
another Jewish Exodus from Germany.
If indeed Bismarck refuses to protect
the German Jews, and secretly foments
this abominable raid upon them, it
is in order to express a hope
that the prosecuted people may be enabled
at no distant date to repay this German
brutality with interest, and in way which
willcut tothequick. With the present jew
ish strength in the money markets of the
world this need be no idle menace. In the
event of war between Germany and any
continental power, the finances will Ill
timately be controlled by the Jews, and
they can either paralyze Bismarck by
causing his loans to be refused, or they can
force him to pay their own price for his
subsidies. 1t is not only an Infamous but
dangerous game which the anti Semitic
Germans are playing, in fact, and we shall
be very much surprised if, before it is over.
they do not discover that they have been
making sad fools of themselves.
