As heart respnnds To hcnrt.

Yet, while winds chill and Summer joys depart
host of other pleasures nov doth come:
Brothers and sisters scattered. all come home,
cheer abounds while fond smiles
Smyrna times., 1886-11-17

The skies look cold-wind-driyen clouds scud BY
While htfIl gales whirl SerC, dry leaves away,
Fair once like friends who come to us one day,
Creep TO the heart, bring lOve-light 10 the eye,
Then droop and fade and die
Smyrna times., 1886-11-17

Empty vessels give the greatest

Among the branches OF each wind tossed tree
Brown looks the grass; no floral gems we see:
FOrsaken liz Sts 10y winds alone are Strrd
And net by wing of bird.

a BRIDE CHEATS THE PARsoN.-Some
rather odd stories could be told by the
man who ties the knot, did he choose to
give his thoughts tongue. If the fee is $50
or more, the groom takes great pleasure in
personally transacting the business. but is
equally anxious in securing a substitute
when a smaller price is to be paid for the
union. In case he has no brother of his
own, the brides relative is pressed into
service, in which instance that lady is more
or less officious. At a rather stylish party
which occurred on Monroe'street about
two months ago, the groom put twenty
dollar gold piece in the kidded hand of his
small brother-in-law, with directions for
its transfer to the parson, and hurriedly
left the room. The bride, hearing the con-
yersation, succeeded in OBTAINING the iuven
lie and hunting up one of the So coins
her mother had given her for travelling
trifies," snapped gold pieces and called
herself just husband and SIS ahead"
She changed her mind very shortly as to
the monetary gain, for the first thing she
heard as she emerged from her room in
her travelling suit was, faint as big as
the one he give me first. Sister kept il and
said this would do well enough Even the
groom maryeled at the bushes of his
pretty wife as the urbane minister wished
her good-by and God-speed- Chicago

THE St. Louis Globe Democrat saws

The people of California, or large number
OF them, again petition Congress to pass bill
forever prohibiting the immigration of Chinese
INTO the United States. 1t is Just possible that
the minds OF Caliiornians are unduly excited
III TINS matter The present Restriction Act re-
MAINS IN operation about sixteen years more
Most of the vessels leaving California for China
every week carry away from the United States
forever large numbers of Celestiais. There are
comparatively few Chinese women in this eoun-
Try and the number of Mongoiians smuggled
INTO the country from British Columbia is very
small. therefore the Chinese population of the
Pacific States is rapidly on the decrease. and
the Likelihood is that 1t viii cease to be a per
picking problem several years before the eXpi-
immigration
1t is seldom that in so brief a space so
much of misinformation is CANNED"
We print it as curiosity. With modi-
cum of truth, it is desert of misappre-
hension.

ANT5-RIPARTaN CONVENTION.
state Delegates to Assemble at San
Francisco.
Is. F. bulletin. May 10Th.

Is F. Bulletin, May 18th
tomorrow at IL o'clock the Anti-Ri-
parian Convention will assemble at the
Grand Opera House, for the purpose of
considering the question of irrigation, and
the lmpediments that now stand in the
way OF the free use of the water of streams
Ter irrigation purposes. Clubs have been
organized throughout the State for the fol.
lowing purposes:
DECLARATION OF PURPOSES
To maintain that the right of approximation
of water for beneficial purposes is and always
has been paramount to any alleged rights of
riparian owners in this State
TO secure the adoption of an amendment to
the State Constitution, declaring that the COM
mon law of England is not and should not be
the rule of property, or the rule of decision in
the Courts of this State, in controversies con-
corning the right to appropriate, divert and use
water, nor i'll actions by or against actual APP
perpetrators of water for beneficial purposes;
and that priority of appropriation for a bene-
hclal purpose determines the right without re-
gard to the ownership of the banks of water
course.
To maintain both as a physical and legal
proposition that the condition and necessities of
the people of this State and the climatic and
physical characteristics of the State are. and
ever have been such as TO render the common
law doctrine OF riparian rights inapplicable
here.
To secure the passage of any and all other
amendments to the Constitution Or laws which
VIII contribute to establish the right of irriga-
ton against the riparian doctrine.
10 procure the election of members of the
Legislature who openly and without qualifica-
ton, favor and Will act upon the foregoing
principles, regardless of political affiliations
To oppose through the ballot-box and by every
other legitimate means, the election of any per
son TO Office. executive, legislative or judicial
who is not known TO be in full and active accord
with every proposition contained in these by
laws.
To obtain continuation by the Courts and the
Legislature as the law and the fact that the use
OF the waters of streams for the purpose of irri-
CATION, is natural want in this State, and to
be preferred to all other uses
The Executive Committee, which has
the arrangements for the Convention in
charge, met to-day at the Merchants Ex-
change, bat up to the hour of going to
press had not determined upon the pro-
gramme TO be followed. This will be pre-
pared this evening.

SAYS the Philadelphia Record: "The
California members of Congress express
much horror over the Rock Springs mas
sacre, but they do not favor any compeu-
sation to the victims lest it might offend
the hoodlum element OF the Pacific COAST
Strange that the people OF the East, of
whom the Philadelphia paper must be
assumed to be representative, are so lost to
the dictates of the gentlemanly spirit that
they can indulge in such filth and vitu-
peration. For their strabismus on the
Chinese question we can find apology; for
want of decency we know of no excuse.
The people the Record denominates as
hocdlums are the peers of the best of hu-
man product in the Keystone State, and far
superior in their manners, if we are to
Judge by the expression we have quoted
above

in them should be able to know each other,
if not personally, then according to regis
try list. They should take on something of
the manner and spirit of the old town
meeting. They should be free conferences,
and the deliberate majority ascertained,
fairly and without constraint should rule,
and the decisions resolved upon should be
honorably sustained. With these gov
erning principles, ample notice, free con-
ference, and no personal domination, the
caucus would be unobjectionable, and its
neglect by the party members not mat
ter justifying "bolting."
Activity" says our correspondent,
"must be- 1t is, and ever will be, in poll
tics, as in all else. If my neighbor, and
his neighbors except myself, act in poll
tics and agree upon lines of action, |, who
am inactive, have cause for complaint only
against myself" Very true; and all ac-
ton in party is caucus action of one form
or another. The political club is caucus,
the primary is caucus, the county, the
district and the State Conventions are
caucuses-indeed all activity ante-dating
that which is to be done under the law at
the regular election is a sort of caucus
work. So, after all, we come down to the
question of fair play among men in polit-
zeal activities. And this is to be secured
by all citizens taking active part in such
matters. At the same time the failure o.
the many to do their duty in no wise re-
lieves the obligation to condemn lad
methods the few may employ, or the Wei
business of any ends they may attain. As
the boss system is bad in itself, it is not for
US to condone it because of the inactivity
of those who should be alive to duty.
Whatever its genesis, or excuse for exist
ence, it still merits condemnation.

WHILE it may be true, as stated, that if
war comes. out of Grecian persistence,
Germany win side with the Hellenic
States, it u certain that she will do all she
can to prevent such a war. Without the
war Russia cannot advance on the line of
her ambition; but if it comes, Germany
would be with her rather than against her
in dispoSsessing the Turk to the extent of
giving neutrality-suspicious. to some of the
States now dominated by the Porte. She
would not, however, consent, as is easy of
comprehension, to Russia's scheme to an
mex any of these States.

lT will come-the naturalization laws of
these United States will be amended So as
to shut the gates against the low order of
immigrants Europe reioices to be rid of.
And it happens that the foreign-born citi-
zens of the United States, who are worthy
to be such, are quite as much minded this
way as are the natiye-born Americans.
The former better know what unrestricted
immigration means than do we to the
manor born.

For 1885 we have not the amounts for each
division separately, but the total for both was
l46,7 9S tons.
By careful examination of the above figures
you can readily see which were the dry Years,
as such seasons show small shipments.
There is no question that ground properly
creased crop of grain as compared with land
not irrigated and with irrigation there follows
the increase in value of the land, as more album
daEt crops can be produced, and in this respect
the lands of the San joaquin Valley are equal

THE Convention to assemble in San
Francisco to-day is fraught with big inter-
ests. We hope to see it proceed in calm
and not in stormy councils. Let those who
differ in sentiment as to the right irriga-
ton policy for California be patient with
each other, hear quietly, debate calmly
and resolve soberly. Out of such counsel
ing wisdom will come.

HERE Is one class of adopted citizens
who have special cause TO feel proud at

less generous, soulful and patriotic than
we esteem them. The Irish, in all this

irlshmen take pride in this, and develop
more yet of the patriotic conservatism
that puts country first and self second.

ment, for many of these are foreigners
who fled from the poverty of monarch to
be killed Or wounded in the republic of

can Miller, the Irishman Flavin. Degan,
Barrett, Flavin, Sheehan and Miller-poor,
noble souls Would that our country had
given them each happy home instead of
a bloody grave. America is not for Amer
leans by birth, but for Americans in
heart" Right doctrine; generous, true
and noble sentiment. 1t is in line with
the expression we have these many years
felt duty-bound, and gladly, to make
that in this country we want no Irish
Americans, Commandments, French
Americans, Native-Americans, but sim
