EDITORS HERALD-I see in almost every

diabolical or envious items published
against California. Now, 1, am native of
the State Of Florida, and ought to know
something sbout affairs here, and think n X.
fornia; also ''blizzards," and all such. AS
for Florida, consider that she has seen her
best days. Florida is furious on account of
travel that has been turned from her by
reason of her railroad extortions and real
estate deceptions. Now. Mr.. Editor, l, for
one, thank the State of California for what
she has done for our people in the State of
Florida; for, had it not been for the cut
rates in railroad and real estate business in
California, we would have been more de-
pressed than at present. never see any
thing in California papers against our
lovely State, and sometimes think you are
people who pursue the motto, "Live and
and let live"
Do you ever have the bogus fever" out
there? We are subject to it here, and had
it for quite a while in the southern part
OF the State. This, feel, is one great draw.

this State some time before it was

l could not call it yellow fever, for oui
board of health said it was not; therefore
must submit.
We do not have billiards. here, but some.
times little thunderstorm that scatters the
green fruit and almost strips the trees of
their bark. AS for drouths, we know not
what it is to have one, yet sometimes we
think our orange trees will die before it will
rain.
1t is not worth while to mention other
frivolous points this time, but we hope our
newsmen will not overestimate affairs in
future. The principal disadvantages of our
State / shall not now descant on. Is the
State of California self-sustaining? i

negative. have lived in several counties

A Level.Headed NIissourian. i.

California has a great deal Of grit In her
people as well as gold in her hills. The
proposal to entertain the National Demo
cratic Convention is being seriously enter:
tanned. By reducing the fare for the round
citizens expect to induce the National Com
mittee to hold its quadrennial convention
in that place. The idea is not bad one,
neither for the party nor the State. The
Pacific States have not received the con-
sideration their merits demand. Besides,
such consideration would remove large
proportion of the evil influence that sur
rounds conventions iu the Eastern States.
Although the nomir ations will be virtually
made long before the convention meets
yet it would be but proper and right to
evade influences that have had too much
voice in the past. San Francisco is an ex-
cellent point, and if st. Louis is not selected,
we hope San Francisco will be.-[Moberly

her husband lying on the ground unable to
