IT must often have occurred to re-.
fecting people that the oath has outlived
its usefulness. Any obseryant person in
California can supply scores of instances
in which the courts have been disgraced
by the most shameless perjury, and not
a few, oftheir own knowledge, could give
list of people with whom perjury is
very close approach to trade. The
trial of young Kalloch for the murder of
Charles do Young afforded overwhelming
evidence that perjury was prscticed. on
the one side or the other, perhaps on
both. on positively monumental scale.
Decent people were simply appalled, at
the prodigality Of mendacity shown in
this cause ceiebrs. That eminent states.
man, John Bright, who, by the way, is
Quaker, presents another and striking
aspect of this grave matter in letter to
the Hebdenbridge Parliamentary Debat.
ing Society. He says:
On the question of oaths, probably
there is nothing in the New Testament
more especially condemned and forbid.
den than oaths. To those who do not
care about the New Testament this fact
will be of no weight. The practice Of
swearing to the truth of anything makes
two kinds of truth and truthfulness. If
oaths are OF any avail, by so much as
they make truth more certain, by so
much they lessen the value of any ordi-
nary statement and diminish the proba-
bility of its truth. II ignorant persons
are not sworn, they think they may tell
lies with impunity, and their lying is
made to large extent blameless in their
eyes. l think oGths and taking
have done more than any other thing to
impair and destroy a regard for truth.

There is disease known as Southern
California, which cannot be cured until
the victim goes down in that section OF

orange groves and net income of $500

publican.
IT is true that there is such disease,
butitisby no means confined to this Coast.
II embraces the East, Europe and even
Asia. Only very Omitted portion Of
the people who come here do SO with
the intention Of growing oranges, though
the profits of orange.growing, under
proper conditions, and with care taken
to insure fine grade of fruit, are quite
as large as tho figures limited at by the
Truckee Republican. In fact, by down.
right register of sales, single acre OF
the older orange groves of the late Col.
B. d. Wilson yielded nearly Sl700 in q
single year. But, as Los Angeles and
other Southern counties can raise nearly
everything grown on the footstool, thore
is no earthly reason why the victim Of
the disease known as Southern Califor-
MIA" should restrict himself to orange
culture. No such pent-up Utica confines
his choice. Early potatoes, toma toes,
green peas, Strawberries, the cereals,
figs, grapes, wines, brandies, the fruits
and vegetables of the temperate zone,
will yield him satisfactory guerdon.
Nowhere else in the world has he the
choice of such an extended range Of
production as in Los Angeles county,
for instance.

QUITE number OF the organs of the
Republican party just now, in the inter.
walls Of the head.swimming arising from
the late phenomenal defeats sustained
by that organization, are declaiming
against the Democratic ascendancy.
They want to know what great work Of
statesmanship has been accomplished by
the Democracy in the States which have
been redeemed from Republican rule.
Now we admit that nothing Of sky.
scraping craftsmanship order has been
accomplished; but then. on the other
hand, the stealing has been stopped.
And that Is saying good deal. Every
one remembers the campaign and in.
auguration of the Sailor Boy" candi-
date for Governor in this State, for
instance. Won lerful things were to be
done in the interest Of the people.
| When we come down to the solid "busi-
ness," however, we find that, in the first
year Of Perkins, administration, the
Debris steal was enacted into a
law, by which the State OF CAL
ifornia lost fully half mil
lion dollars, with absolutely nothing
to show for it. While the late Calfor-
mia Legislature did nothing brilliant, ii
must be remembered, to its credit,
that it originated no steals, and
repealed the fanatical Sunday law.
Nothing which was darkened by even
the suspicion of job succeeded in
making Its way through this thoroughly
honest II not brilliant body. The
same may be said of those of New York
and Pennsylvania. 1t has at least been
change from the highwayman's formula
of "stand and deliver to the courteous
practices of honorable and reputable
life. II nothing sensational, Of an ameli.
orative character, has been essayed oil
accomplished, discreditable and corrup
schemes have been stornly frowned on
