AT the recent school election in

AT the recent school election in
Stockton, an animated fight was waged
between two factions. One faction favor
ed the retention of Prof. Leach as princi-
pal of the schools, and the other opposed
this step. The anti-Leach side won.
From what we have seen and heard OF
Mr.. Leach, we are satisfied that he is
splendid teacher and man of excellent
sense. We are sorry that such men are
put down so often. However, they gener-
ally rise again, and make their own way.
Mr.. Leach is one of the editors of the
Stockton Nesvs, and, by giving his time to
journalism, he certainly can win.

ELL for the Oppression of the Poor.

the so-crllcd "priority bill' no" OH its pas
sage in the General Assembly Isl most luin-
GUS measure for the poor, whether it is so in
tented or-not. With that inv IN force the
poor man will have absolutely nocr"dit atall,
and the landowner will be compelled to guar
antpc tho payment of his tenants con-
tracts. This will be not only ruinous to the
poor .lan. but injurious to the land owner.
IS a matter of fact, the Legislature can de-
wise no law by which the merchant can be
made to let out his goods without such Sccu-
rity as may be by him deemed sufficient. and
any stroke at tho credit of the poor man will
only he injurious to the prosperity of the
country. If by this law it is intended to en-
slave the poor man, no matter whether he Is
white or black, it will he an utter failure. No
law can DC enacted which will give one cltl-
zen the right to another's services, and the
great majority of our citizens are unable to
hire the very class against whom this law is
intended. We have heard the law character
lied as "infalnouS."
Some of our best citizens have expressed
faith in tho Governor to the extent Of bcliev-
ing that he will veto so wicked and unjust q
law. In all that Governor Thompson has
lone he has never disregardcd the rights and
interests OF the rOor man, and VIC do not be-
licvc lie will be anything else than true to the
large proportion OF our people who will be SO
seriously affected by the iniquitons law. If
the Legislature desires to repeal the lien law,
then let IL do SO, but let it not ruin the credit
of the poor, who are as honest and as good to
pay their debts as many more pretentious cit.
iZeus. This community looks to the Govern
or to save the country from the evil results Of
the proposed law for tile oppression OF the
poor.
The bill is as follows, and is OH its third
reading in the Senate:
Section /. That from and after the passage
of this act the landlord shall have Il hen upon
the crops OF his tenant for his rent III prefer
cnce to all other liens. That laborers who
assist in making amy crop shall nave Il lien
thereon to the extent OF the amount due them
Tor such labor ncXtin priority to the land
lord, and Us bctW cen such labUrerS there shat
be no preference. That all other liens Tor ;lS-
supplies shall BIZ paid next after
and laborels, and shall rank in other respects
Us they do now under existing laws.
Sec. ,. That no writing or recording Snall
bc necessary to create the liens OF the land
lord, and OF the laOorer, but such lien shall
exist from the datc of the contract, whether
tic same be in writing or verbal.
See. 8. That all acts and parts of acts incon-
with or supplied by this act be, and
the same arc hereby. repealed.
In other words: II there should be any
thing left after paying the claims-no matter
whether just or not-of the landlord and the
laborcrs, the merchant may get his pay. The
who would let out his goods under
such Il law would 60 out Of business next
Fall for the want Of funds with which to pur-
chase more goods.

Ts;a Presidents Inconsistency.

The President S message was inconsistent in
the Chief Executive of the Nation makes
the Slcleotypcd TRADE against ~polygamy,
while he said not Il word about divorce. AS Il
Of fact, easy divorce is mere democrat
izing than pOlygamy, but the fact is, we com
nit the sin of putting away our wives, while
the MOrmonS of Utah marry two wives. In
divorcr-yranting States the citizen may
marry rs many wives as he chooses, provided
lie sends all the preceding wives away
but in Utah the MOrmnnS take care of
al their wives. We regard all this talk of our
horror at polygamy as of the mcanCst hypoc-
riSy, as long az we sanction divorce. The mar
riagc laws of Utah arc infinitely better than
the divorce law of many Of the States, and
make war on the MormOnS, who arc better
than The people Of the Presidents own State
who disregard the marriage VOWS. We do not
believe one word of the sincerity Of any man
who fights the MDrnons and then endorses a
solt of marriage for such period Of time rs
may Suit the pieasurco OF convenience OF either
party. When considered III its purity and
Sanclity the mock marriage In many OF the
States is uoLhing like the marriage which is
"honorable among Ill men,"
Until the easy divorce is done away within
theStatcs, we regard it mean and hypocritical
to pcrSccutc the Mormons Of Utah.

Great Leaks that Should be Stopped.

There are two reasons which are the chief
causes Of scarcity Of money in this county /:
One is the great outlay in fertilizers. and the
other is life insurance.. Ii our people would
enclose pastures and save tic manure about
their lots, and quit life insurance prosperity
would come 10 their doors. There is no form
or system of life insurance which is good for
anybody, except the agents who make for
tunes Off the gudgeons who go into specula-
tons on their W life. If any citizen has Il
surplus of cash, let him put it into the Bank
or let him loan it to some ncishbOr who may
be anxious to get rid of his farm by mortgage.
One great difficulty and sin of life insurance
is the fact that many debtors are induced to
the money with which they should pay
their debts, to pay a preniam on life policy.
For the want Of ready cash the pO. icy is for
feited In q year or two and the insured has
been n loser to the full extent Of his invest
ment while his debts remain against him to
injure or ruin his credit. If the same money
had been j~udiciously invested in barns or
pasture fences, tic citizen would invariably
be better oil.
