Judge Dusenbei1y took tea at the

night last week. Conversing with
Miss Sykes, Judge Dusenbery re-
marked:
81 am delighted Miss Sykes, with
the poetry of your friend, Skinner
horn, but, of course, you yourself
don't write poetry"
GLOW do you know I don't write

piqued, for she has written n number

disposed to do so. "-Texas Siftings.

HAVING referred to the bad effects upon
society of foolhardy exhibitions-placing
life at stale-and of the cultivation of a
morbid taste for the cruel and for feats
involving life and death, we suggested that
in the interests of society all such exhibit
tons as the swimming of the rapids at
Niagara and leaping from the Brooklyn
bridge ought to be forbidden by laws made
to meet the cases. A contemporary re-
spends let the fools co. and intimates
that their destruction is not 4 matter on
which to expend sympathy. Very true,
but it is not the foolhardy in whose inter
ests such laws should be enacted, but the
onlookers whose tastes are corrupted by
these exhibitions, and whose natural hu-
name impulses are dulled by this exposure
of human life to great peril

Our evening contemporary, the Star,
gives US the surprising information that in
all probability Columbus Bartlett will re-
ceive the Gubernatorial nomination of the
Democracy. We have all along supposed
that Washington Bartlett was the man the
party has been looking forward to as a
possible nominee. A Democratic paper,
however, must be assumed to know whereof
it speaks on party matters, and to make no
mistakes about the brand of the Dem
ocracy. That being the case Mr.. Wash
ington Bartlett will please step aside and
give place in Democratic favor to the
younger and less portly party named Col

AN ARBOR DAY.

1t really begins to look as if joaquin
Miller was, after all, born for a purpose.
He has proposed to Major-General How
ard to plant number of trees on Yerba
Buena Island in the harbor of San Fran
cisco, as the Inauguration Of tree planting
and forestization in this State. General
Howard has approved the idea and prom
ises to ask Government for an appropria-
ton to enlarge the scheme. Miller has
named October Both as his arbor day, and
announces that he has already a number
of volunteer aids from members of the
press. Many papers second the motion F."
and propose that the people generally
make that day California's Arbor Day.
We like the idea, but the date for the inte-
rior section is too early. The arbor day that
thus springs from the people with spon-
taneity is more apt to be generally OBJ
served than day designated by cold for
maiity Of law. If no more than thou
sand people in California on the Both of
October next, or such other day as may be
agreed upon, will each plant one tree by
the wayside with view of caring for it
until it is able to care for itself, we will
have commenced great desirable work
that will expand into one of unreasonable
benefit TO California. Nine States of the
Union have their "Arbor Day now, and
not one that has adopted the "idea re-
grets it. Ohio's "Arbor Day" last year re-
suited in the setting of 100000 trees, sew
enty per cent. of which to date are living
and give promise of attaining full growth.
The effect Of that much additional foliage
in Ohio in a single year viii be felt in eli
mate, health and production, to say moth
ing Of the promise for the future. In
California if we are to engage in tree
planting let us select not the most rapid
but the hardy tree of full foliage
and deep roofing quality. In agricultural
regions planting should be made on the
north side of fields in order to create bar
riers to the only wind that harms us.

TIE wisdom of trusting the people"
is being more and more impressed upon
politicians of both parties. The usurping
Democratic Committee of Ell Dorado that
appointed delegates to the Democratic
State Convention some weeks ago, has
taken warning from gathering clouds, has
undone its action and called Convention
to select delegates but not until there was
bolt made and set of Convention dele
gates selected. All this business concerns
party less than it does the people gener-
ally. Any attempts to remove government
from the people is dangerous. Manifest
in party economy and allowed to go unre-
buked, it would next appear in the selec-
ton Of candidates for office, and thus touch
4 vital republican principle In times
gone by Republican committees have
usurped a good deal of the rights of the
party men, but it can no more be done
without protest and rebellion.

THE people may reasonably expect on
the reassembling Of the Legislature a great
deal less of haste and radicalism and more
Of wisdom and deliberation on the irriga-
ton question. One great party of the
people has declared in favor of State con-
troll, the preservation of the rights of all,
local application, no monopolization, no
waste, and, as far as possible, no want of
water for irrigation. This means neither
the prior appropriations special privilege
nor the riparian's monopoly.

THE outlook for large and useful ex-
hibit of products of the soil at the coming
State Fair is very ine-indeed, the belief
is that it will, as it should, surpass all pre-
vious exhibitions in that direction
Equally favorable is the promise regarding
stock, mechanical exposition, etc. The
State Fair fails of its purpose if it does
not each year expand and keep pace with
the progress of the State, just as it is
doing.
