CAST INTO THE SHADE.

The Pioneers and the Native Sons will
not celebrate Admission day together. The
Sons were willing, but the Pioneers were
not. The older society did not like to invite
comparison. They realize that the youth,
the color and energy of the Sons would
most attract the public eye. The Pioneers
doubtless recognize the fact that they are
in the decline of life, but do not care to
make that decline conspicuous by running
races with the boys. Let the boys race and
the older boys remind each other how much
better such sports were conductedsin their
young days than at present. One of
tie Pioneers remarked that the Sons
were not many Of them their sons, and
seemed impressed with the idea that it was
tie fault Of the Sons that they are not.
There seems a little too much personality
IN the feelings expressed on both sides.
Both the Pioneers and thu Sons should re-
feet that they are Californians, and that it
is the admission of California into the
Union that is TO be celebrated. There is
room enough in such a celebration for all
the people in the State without regard to
the particular organizations they may rep
resent. There cannot well be two celebra-
tions in one day in the same town, and if
SO an important an organization as either
the Pioneers or the Sons sulk in their
tents they will be missed.
