THE CITRUS FAIR AGAIN.

The citrus fair to be opened here Janu-
airy 18th will be month too late. But it
is better to hold it then than not at all
Sacramento is the place of all others for
it. There should be no jealousy on account
of locality 1t is the most central, when
all the routes of travel are taken into con-
sideration. Besides there is just now a
large excursion travel from the East COM
ing into the State, and these Eastern Wis
itors can be taken in bodies, even during
the stoppage of trains, and shown what we
can do at this season in this line. Another
year the fair should be held as early as the
LIST of December. We suggest that the
present organization be continued, with
power to open a citrus fair here next year
at the proper time. Though oranges have
been largely marketed for 1885, still
enough remain to insure a fine exhibit
There should be felt personal response
bility by every one in this matter. Great
successes are usually the result of COM
bined small efforts. Let no one who has
any citrus exhibits, however small, feel
that it is a matter of no consequence
whether he or she sends them in. Let
all manner of nuts, oranges, lemons,
lines, prunes ETC., grown in northern and
central California be exhibited, not only
fresh from the stem, but in the
varied forms Of preparations into which
they may have been worked. The affair
can be made complete success by very
little effort on the part of the many. The
fair means great deal for the Northern
and Central sections, and the opportunity
now offered should not be allowed to pass
by unimproved The Northern and Gen.
trail counties should make special effort
to aid the fair. All its expenses have been
guaranteed by our people. the rates of
transportation have been placed at low
figure and nothing remains but for indi-
vidual and immediate effort to be made
Sacramento has no greater interest in the
matter than has any other place in all the
region to be represented. 1t is an unsel6sh
work, and intended to benefit every part
of this Northern and Central region. 1t is
simply question of pull all together.
On this subject the San Francisco Alta of
yesterday well says: " If it be not too late
to secure a proper exhibit, there is much in
the proposition to hold citrus fair at Sac
ramento next month. Eastern people need
to be taught that the orange grows in
commercial quantities clear to Northern
California, for they associate climate with

THE POPE'S LETTER.

The New York Times after careful
perusal of the Pope's encyclical letter,
comes to the conclusion that it means pre-
eisely what the dispatches indicated, and
upon which hypothesis we commented on
the significant character of the letter, some
weeks ago. SAYS the Times: Accepting
at their full value all those passages in
which the Pope maintains that the Church
of Rome is the friend and defender of real
progress and true freedom, and allowing
due weight to his declaration that in re-
spect to civil regulations Of one kind or
another there is room for disagreement
without harm, this solemn letter of in
struction and guidance to the prelates of
the Church still has one clear meaning. 1t
is an authoritative direction to Roman
Catholics in whatever country, but partic-
ularly in such countries as by liberal and
constitutional forms accord them the right
to assist in shaping and maintaining the
Government, to act primarily and unitedly
as Roman Catholics. Nevertheless in
the first place. runs the letter, let con-
cord of wills be preserved, and a likeness
of things to he done sought for; and each
will be attained the best if all shall con-
slider the admonitions of the Apostolic See
as law of conduct To the Catholic
citizens of America this means that the
Constitution and the political traditions of
the United States are to be respected only
so far as they are in accord with admoni-
tons from Rome"
The full text of the letter is before us,
and if it is to have any effect at
all, it will be to draw the line sharply
between Catholics in politics, and all those
who keep their political faith clear of
priestly mandates. The letter opens with
review of the civilizing and re.
filming influence of the Church "wher-
ever it sets its foot" The Pope
then proceeds to say that in these
latter days a new law is promulgated, de-
seribed as the outcome IF world fully
developed and born of growing liberty"
He adds that no better method has vet
been discovered for ruling the State than
that which is the natural result of the
teaching of the Gospel. By this we take
him to mean the religion of the Roman
Catholic Church, and nothing else not
merely an accepted code of morality as the
substructure of the laws and systems of the
State. He declares "there can be no pub
lie power except from God alone" As the
Church of Rome claims to be the mouth
piece of God, it follows that its dictates

For the past few weeks there has been

strength and struck, recently, against man.

Guilty in securing skilled laborers to take
the place of the Chinese, so soon as it is
known in the East that there is an oppor-
tunity for permanent employment here at
fair rates of reward. So, too, our present
labor supply, so far as it is unskilled or
unaccustomed to the labor the Chinese
have been performing, will adapt itself, as
rapidly as can be expected, to the new sit

thence, the matter of displacement will be
quietly and effectually worked out in the
interests of American laborers. All we
need is some forbearance, some patience,
some liberality, and unlimited perseverance
in the effort to make it Improbable for
the Chinese to continue to migrate to
these shores.

IT is right and proper that people
should manifest any discomfort they feel
over the act of a public servant. But the
practice Of hanging the officer in effigy, as
was done in the case of Senator Payne, of
Ohio, on the 22d instant, is brutal and
wholly disreputable. An intelligent peo-
pie should find other and more decent
methods of expressing their feelings. Such
manifestations as that in the case men,
toned only tend to brutalize, and are ex-
pressive, not of calm judgment and deliber-
ate disapproyal, but of rage, passion and
undue heat, and as consequence defeat
the very end sought to be attained; for
they disgust sober, thinking men, and
create sympathy for the party thus assailed
rather than arouse indignation against
him for his political course.

THE San Francisco Alta wonders why
only the vices and follies manifest in the
flesh in California are telegraphed to the
East as news from this quarter-section Of
Gods footstool. The Alta need not go far
to find the reason. 1t is because the news
gatherers and dispatchers in California are
badly trained. Too largely their estimate
of news that interests the people is
bounded by Police Courts, social scandals,
local disturbances and sensational events.
The truth is, that all this kind of "stuff"
is the lowest order of news. If the Cali
fornia press will train its reporters to the
exercise of observant qualities in matters
beyond the confines of prisons, Police
Courts, crimes and scandal there will be
dispatched East news of higher interest to
the people and some probable benefit to
the State, for the Eastern budget is most
largely distracted from the locals of the
press of the State.

A MYSTERIOUS HoLE.-We find this in
the Marysville Appeal:
During the late heavy rains small hole
was observed in the ground in the lot al
the rear of George S. Cooley's grocery store
corner of Fourth and C streets. Parties
looked into the hole, but paid little atten-
ton to it. Had they known what was I'M
derneath they would have given the place
a wide berth. Later a patch of ground
eight feet in diameter dropped out of sight
and disclosed q demonstrating space
beneath which had, in remote times, been
neatly arched over with brick, which, in
turn, was covered with earth. 1t is fourteen
feet deep by about ten in diameter, and
contains eight feet of water. What it was
originally built for the oldest inhabitant
thereabouts knows not. A brick walk, built
before the old Scheidel residence burned,
many years ago, ran directly over the hole,
and partly caved in with the arch. The
rear wall of the brick building built within
the past ten years, stands directly over the
eastern part of the hole, and is only sup
ported by a part of the arch left on that
side, Who can explain the mysterious hole
in the ground?

TAKEN IN AND DONE FoR.-The following
is from the Phoebe New Record:
A good story comes to hand as to how
Jim Hedges, of Fresno, was taken in and
done for by the old lady and her son who
live out at Sulphur Springs. 1t is well
known to ieamsters and others who have
travelled over the road between here and
Milford that the old lady is an expert at
draw poker. Jim Hedges found this out
some months ago to the tune of $50, and
in order to get even on her he rung in two
decks of marked cards on his return trip
from Bullionville. The cards broke
evenly for Jim, and he was rapidly depict
ing the old woman's treasure box, and
would, no doubt, have broken her, were it
not that her big boy dropped ON his racket,
and. securing his rifle, brought it to bear on
Jim, with the r,mark: PAY over mothers
money or I'll blow your brains out"
Hedges. although brave and fearless fell
low, saw the joke and gracefully forked
over the old woman's ducsts.

THE proposition in Senator Edmunds
new polygamy bill, to make either husband
or wife a competent witness one against
the other in prosecutions for bigamy or
polygamy, is good one. 1t will go a long
way toward solving the question of the
prosecution of polygamous Mormons. 1t
is also a wise provision that proposes to
open all records of marriages to official in
spection, and to require that record shall
be made of every marriage ceremony per-
formed in the Territories While we can
not approve the declaration in any bill
that proscribes the right of women to an
equal voice among the governed in direct
ing the policy of the Government of which
they are citizens, the provision in the Ed
munds bill prohibiting women in the Ter
ritory of Utah from voting must be APP
proved. For they are not free-will agents

registry, by which every voter is "spotted,"

THE MORMON PLOT

Nothing more beastly and infamous in
the way of plotting the injury of others
has been disclosed than the scheme of the
Mormon lechers to entrap the United
States officials of Utah. 1t appears that
they hired women of the town to come to
Salt Lake City and set their nets for these
officials, and if they succeeded in captur-
ing them, they were to be well rewarded
for their infamy. The plot failed, and now
the women are before the Courts "giving
away" the whole plan. 1t makes nice I"
reading, to be sure, but it so clearly illus
trates the purity" of the religion that JUS
titles the lust of the Mormon saints, that it
is right to make public the disclosures.
Here are men, who claim to be vicegerents
of the Almighty, going about with harlots
and seeking to entrap men, that they may
have it to say, " See, these too are adulter-
ers." If there remained any doubt about
the Mormons having been concerned in
other infamous schemes torob men of char
acter, as well as of life, it is now dispelled
