field, of Northern California, at the
Episcopal Convention, said he was salts.
fed that Northern California had been
much misunderstood. When he arrived
in the country in 1874 he found 800 COM
municants and confirmed 1000. The
number of communicates now is 700.
The Bishop accounted for this by sat.
ing that California was moving
procession. Although San Francisco
Is filled with millonaires, they are not
disposed to do anything for the cause of
God and the Church. San Francisco
has long list of abnomally rich men,
but only one left memorial behind him,
and that person was James Lick. The
Bishop was not disposed from this dis.
couragement to fly away from his school
work.

THE complaint that there is really no
difference between the national parties
is in no respect just. The Democratic
party has, in reality, been the break
water for the republican cause in the
United States. The truth is that Re-
publicans, so called-a most unjust
designation-have been devoted to
monarchical methods. When the cam
paign of 1876 was ushcred on the boards
the programme was to nominate Ulysses
s. Grant for third term. The scheme
only retained vitality enough to count in
the fraud Hayes. But for the presence
of the un-republican, un-democratic
bulldog, Grant, in the White House,
with his bully'ragging gathering OF
troops at the National Capitol. the
Electoral Commission would have been
thing impossible. While the Demo-
cratic party was temporarily overborne
in this shameful sacrifice of republican
methods and democratic traditions,
popular government would have gone
down, save fer the masculine display of
a deathless party, which ramiiied
throughout the whole Union. Still
earlier than in 1876 the ever-present,
ever vigilant impulse of the Democratic
party was highly useful to the ma
ton as Republic. The Republi-
can party, in moment of des-
peration, nominated as Nice.P Presi-
dent Andrew johnson, thorough
Democrat in every sense of the word.
They made their nomination to strength
en- their ticket in the dark days of 1864,
and were astonished to find that John
son as President, after the assassination'of
Lincoln. was, as he had always been, a
Democrat. But for the accidental adj
vent of Andrew johnson in the Presi-
dental chair, many of the States Of the
Union would have continued to be satra.
pies, and Grant would have borne to
the old.time Republic of the United
States precisely the relation which Cos-
sar Augustus bore to the old Roman
Republic The people of the United
States have not yet learned the depth
of their obligations to the Democratic
party, but they are awakening to these
great deeps of gratitude Since his
failura 10 avaptuoto os ~, A,,,,,;,o,, M
tator or lmperator, Grant has princi-
pally figured as a mining capper and as
a stoolpigeon for doubtful financial and
commercial enterprises, However the
Democratic party may forget its old
original and masculine mission-which.
in its hey-day, meant national expan-
sion and aggrandizement-the fact should
not be forgotten that the preservation of
the essential features of the American
system is due to the matohless vitality
of that grand old party. Ii its vigilance
had been intermitted for moment we
should not only have had to submit to
the ignominy of the iniquitous delivery

mission, sad as that was, but we should
have had the insupportable burden of a
shoddy Empire-a la Napoleon III
on our shoulders, besides. Some time or
other graphic historian will arise who
will portray the unspeakable ills from
which masculine and self.ossartix,a
Democratic party rescued the people of
the United States in days when corrup.
tion was always rampant and iobberv
invariably triumphant.

A GENTLEMAS, who signs his name to
his communication, elsewhere protests,
in 'Letters From the People, against
the high rents, both for business and
residence property, which prevail in Los
Angeles. We entirely agree with our
correspondent. The true policy on the
part OF our capitalists is to encourage
settlement and to look only for reason
able return upon their investment. 1t
is all very well, while everything is ga
lore and values are enhancing day by
day, to put up rents to m unreasonable
figure, but the question is whether such
a policy does not operate ms boome-

The Hon. CHARLES A. SUMNER has
written letter TO the San Francisco Ea-
aminer in which, while expressing his
preference for the Hon. s. s. Cox for
Speaker, he takes occasion to speak Of
MIR. Randall as friend Of the corpora
tions. II seems to us that our listin-
guished fellow citizen might havoenit-
ted this gratuitous fling at one y the
most valuable public men we have had
In the United States during the past
twenty years. Samuel j. Randall was
the leading spirit OF that matchless forty
fourth Congress which reduced the ex-
penses Of the United States government
sixty millions of dollars in two years,
and which scourged the Railway and
other lobbics from the National Capitol.
Not content with doing Mr.. Randall
this injustice, this gifted Californian in
dulgcs in the following extraordinary
remarks respecting that gentleman; "As
"the Speaker of 1877 and keen parlia-
mentarian he took an active and ag-
gressive part in consummating a scheme
"by which the verdict Of the people in
"the Presidential election Of November,
"lS76, was fraudulently set aside. y
The truth Is that Mr.. Randall,
who was always close in the eoun
sells Of Mr.. Tildep, like that gentle
man himself was opposed to making
rattle of the Presidency. Every Off
cial act which he performed in that mel
ancholy prostitution Unpopular govern
ment was reluctant and perfunctory, and
he made deprecatory speech in the last
stages of the enormity which was elo-
quent and poignant in the highest de-
gree. He was the principal mover in
that address inscribed on the records Of
the forty.fourth House OF Representa-
tives, which protested against and do
nounoed the fraud. II is pitiful re-
turn for matchless public service to be
denied tho poor guerdon of truthful
narrative of ones acts. OF course we
acquit Mr.. Sumner of any intentional
misrepresentation, but enthusiasm for
his brilliant friend, "Sunset" Cox, has
blinded his Judgment.

Horrible Tragedy = An Insane
Mother Hacks Her Five chill
II rem IN Pieces.

Denver, Oct. 6.-The details Of a
horrible tragedy at Lanpasas, Mexico,
ON the Mexican National Railway, have
Just been received. On n ranch near
Lampasas, lived well.to-do Mexican,
named Antonio Valdez, whose family
consisted Of a wife and five children, the
eldest ten, the youngest, two. The
wife had been subject to spells of mel
ancholy, and often exhibited marks Of
temporary insanity. At such times she
invariably sought to do violence to the
little ones. Last Wednesday, during
the absence of her husband, the woman
was attacked with fit of unusual sever
ity, during which she grabbed a huge
butcher.knife and at once began the
work of destruction. The Oldest child,
a sweet girl Of ten, was the first TO fall
before the wild mothers heavy blows.
The victims head was almost severed
from her body. With demoniacal mad.
ness, so peculiar to the insane, in quick
succession, she slew the other children,
hacking and stabbing them in most
barbarous and sickening manner. Sud.
denly, taking parting look at the dead ,
she plunged the knife into her own
breast The next morning the parish
priest arrived and, amid the sobbing and
wailng of those present, the sad funeral
rites were performed.
