Mr.. WICKs, in his Anti Division
speech Saturday night referred to the
extensive loans of San Francisco bank
ing institution upon Los Angeles prop
erty as security as an act denoting friend
ship for this section of the State. That is
strained conclusion. Banks don't in
dulge in sentiment The institution re.
ferred to made the loans because,
on business principles, they saw
safety and profit in them. II
we had been separated by State
line that would have figured as nothing
in the transactions. The gentle nan also
treated the argument of irrigation in a
way which will not bear criticism. He
said that it was foolish to talk about
upsetting riparian rights as determined
by the Supreme Court. Now as it is not
proposed to interfere with rights at all
riparian or other, there is nothing to upset.
The friends of division claim that the
prosperity of the southern part of the State
depends upon irrigation, and that the
riparian principle, which is favorable to
the North, is injurious to our section.
The North has prevented legislation
favorable to irrigation; but if we we're
separated we could formulate a system
of laws, based on the principle of appro-
priation, that would be of incalculab,e
permanent benefit to the new State. 1t
does not follow that riparian rights
acquired under our present system of
laws. are to be attacked. But the sooner
we are in position to arrest the acquire.
ment Of rights under the riparian princi
pie, the better it will be for our section.
In the end, all riparian rights that pre-
vent the extension of the irrigation prin-
:iple to the general bsneft OF the lands

Objection is made to the division of
the State On the ground of the movement
being premature, and that the southern
end of California is not competent to
support the expensive dignity of State
hood. The counties selected to form the
new State have an assessed value as fol-
lows: Monterey, $13, ,945, sos; San Ben
ito, $6,616,620: Fresno, $3S, ,572, $50; Tul-

is at pace phenomenal by all rules of
comparison established by the history OF
the human race. Ranches of 50,0 900 acres
and upwards, on which there are not
fifty inhabitants, and which are purchas-
able at the rate of SIS per acre, are being
subdivided into twenty acre farms, on
each OF which home is established and
fruit trees planted, or industries set afoot.
Under the new regime there are as
many inhabitants on fifty acres as there
were on $4,000, and the value rises from
SIS per acre to $500 The total valuation
in the above summary will double over
and over again in the next ten years. The
population grows as rapidly as the values
indeed, the increase is more rapid.
Here is the estimated population of the
seventeen counties in the proposed new

Total population of the proposed new
State, 100000.
By the time the census of 1890 is taken
the new State will number half million
of souls. We have both wealth and
populati on sufficient to found State on.
The estimates of population are our own,
and are slightly greater than those usu.

Our Commercial Advantage.

Time and again the HERALD in the
past sixteen years has called attention to
the commercial advantage which this CITY
enjoys in being at one of the termini of
the shortest line between ocean and
ocean within the United States. The
trade between the Orient and western
Europe and our own country is growing
to enormous proportions. Its path lies
directly across North America. There
are five transcontinental lines of road
now engaged in this trade as large part
OF their business. Several lines of large
steamers are engaged in it on the
Pacific. At length our advantage
in the shortest line between oceans has
been seen by those interested in this
trade. All these rival companies engaged
in the same line of operations develop a
keen spirit CT competition, and there is a
sharp outlook kept by each for any ad-
vantage it may win over it's competitors.
Our advantage in this matter all lies in
the short distance between ocean and
ocean. Every hundred miles saved counts
for much in determining routes to be
taken. From Los Angeles to Galveston
and New Orleans lie the shortest lines
across the Continent north of Mexico.
There are practicable harbors at both of
the termini on these lines. At San Pedro,
Redondo, Ballons, Santa Monica and
Alamitos Bay. All the shipping of the
Pacific can be accommodated by the
outlay of some money in building
wharves and in making kindred improve
ments. The people engaged in this
transpacific trade are here to look after
these things. They are matters which
should enlist the active sympathy OF all
dwellers in this city. They should call
out the most energetic cooperation on
Dur part in order to secure this trade,
which by reason Of position is our natural
right. Will the Chamber of Commerce

that can be reached, will be legally con-
demned and paid for. 1t may cos'
the new State only few mil
lions to extinguish these rights in
1890, while ten years later they would
have so increased in value as to cost
many millions. The riparian principle
applies beneficially only to very limited
extent in Southern California. Indeed
that principle is salutary only in coun-
tries intersected by living rivers and sub
ject to perennial rains.

Agricultural Meeting.

The Sixth District Agricultural Asso-
citation met on Saturday last and decided
to advise the calling of State conference
for the purpose of fixing the dates for the
various fairs, 80 that no two fairs will
occur at the same time. 1t was thought
that this could be arranged in confer
ence to be held soon. 1t was decided that
hereafter charge will be made for driv-
ing on the track. The largest figure for
the privilege is fixed at fifteen dollars per
year. 1t was decided that some of the
unused land surrounding the Park be
leased at thirty dollars per acre per year,
and orders were given to trim the trees
near the track.

The Terrible Affair at Birmi ng =
ham.


Birmingham, Alabama, has suddenly
leaped into most unenviable notoriety
The affair from its inception to its pres
ent status has hardly an element in it to
lend relief to the dark shadows which
envelop it. The crime of Hawes, who is
charged with the murder OF his wife and
20-year-old daughter in order that he
might depart unmolested with para
mour, is the root OF the trouble. The
people of the town took it into their
heads that Hawes should be lynched,
and proceeded in force to carry out
this design. The Sheriff seems
to have had high conception
OF his duty, and his status before the bar
of public opinion will hinge on the views
taken as to the necessity OF his action,
which appears at this distance as Draco-
nian in the extreme. A Gatling gun is a
terrible engine of destruction to resort to
in any circumstances short of absolute
necessity. Still the Sheriff may have
known what he was DOING If the mob
was really dangerous in its numb 3rs and
in the spirit actuating it, and such a
measure was required to suppress this vio-
lent method of executing the vengeance
which ought to be left in the calm hands
of justice, then Sheriff Smiths course
will be not only approved, but it will be
applauded. In stable communities
where law and order can be maintained
by legal methods the wild justice of the
mob ought to be disallowed. The men
who seek to enforce right by such wrong
means, under such circumstances, are
more in error than the original criminal.

The Catechisn.

More and more are we strengthened
in tho belief that the eatechism, the
oral then the written, should be the
first, the second and the third .thing
taught to our children. Next to the
Bible let the catechism come in before
any other book or paper. If we would
have the adult members of the Church
to ''sleadfast, unmovable"- strong
in the Lord and in the power of his
might" they must in their yo1th be
taught, cline upon line and precept
upon prscept," out of the word of the
Lord.
BY catechism we mean series of 4,
5, or 6 as may be required to give a
compendium of all the doctrines and
duties of the Christian religion.
Teachers who teach children or adults
these catecbims do greater work
for the learners than any college pres
ident or professor who may teach the
sciences or the languages living or
dead. What the world, Including the
church, needs, is the entrance of the
word Of God into the mind, for that
word in the mind is the medium
through which the Spirit-enters the
heart. -.,.

The Fall River Superintendent of
Schools in his annual report argues

Sxayide- clothing for school children.

of sufficient clothing is the cause of alb.

and must have clothes before books.
On the same line children need bread
and something to go with it. \
"Free schools" whether in college or
"old field" schools and State appropria-

institutions are unjust and drawback
to manly education. That superin-
tendent doubtless has good "taxeat-

Extracts from Christian Neighbor
Truthfulness OF Children.

BY nature children are not truthful.
Here and there may be found one that
inherits rugged honesty from some
ancestor long since gone to dust-these
will "tell the truth" under all circum-
stances, in spite of the fear of punish
ment, in spite of the loss of approba-
ton which is commonly 80 dear to the
childish heart. There is within them
that Unborn love of integrity, so great,
30 good gift, that it seems, almost
directly from God. Children with so
blessed heritage are saved from shame
In later years in that they have
no remembrance of departures from
accurate statements of facts. To how
few children is this good gift made
The majority of young people, how
ever, frequently fail to tell the truth, :"
and usually for the same reasons-a
fear of punishment, the love of appro-
baton, and the indulgence of an i'm
agination which they are yet too in,
experienced to understand or attempt
to control.
In their earliest years children de-
pend wholly on the adults about tnem
for their education in truth tell
ing. If these adults think 1t as
rsprehensible to break dish OF: tear
dress as to practice deception either py
word or act, and punish accordlngiy
If they lay blame indiscrlminateiy
on the innocent and the guilty; II
these make no allowance for .youthtul
1magination-then we cannot Wonder
that children under these Influences
are untruthful. Improper "alloW-
ance" understand, we do not mean.
Do not punish the child because ne
fails to see things os they are. rms
Is impossible to some children. Chill
dren love praise as the flowers love
sunshine-they live in the approving
smiles of those about them. To lose
this appreciation even for short time
is very painful to them, and often
times to avoid this calamity they use
evasion or other forms of deception.
OF course excessive love of appreba-
tion Is q real weakness, and in an adult
a very serious fault often leading to
sin. Is.not the highest kind of truth
fulness that into which one educates
oneself? ..
Children do not recognize the tur-
pitude of lying. AS they grow older
however, they begin to see through a
: glass Siittle less darkly; they begin
to appreciate integrity of speech
as kefl as, of action they remember
taslr failures in this particular, they
determine to conform their lives to a
better standard. and, working alone so
far as human help, is considered, they
drill themselves by a newly awakened
consciousness or conscienciousness
into men of upright; minds and per-
feet integrity of speech. This is the
highest and hardest won, and will re-
ceive special reward.
