THE showers of the past few days have
done little or no damage to grain or hay.
On the other hand the fruit trees have
been benefited. Whilst May is not u.s.
ually one of our rain-months, it is often
overcast, cold and showery. From 8
copy of the Los Angeles Star, dated
May 27, 1858, we learn that very heavy
downpour of rain, lasting several days,
had occurred during the week. The
traditional idea of May cannot always
be translated to Los Angeles. With ex-
ceptions, it is generally a disagreeable
month, and people who take down their
stoves in April will often have to put
them up again in May. But in sum-
ming up the weather-faults of May here
this year, we should not forget that it
has been very cold and stormy month
in the eastern states. A snow squall
passed over New Jersey and New York
on the 9th, and frosts and chilling rains
have been prevalent from Massachusetts
bay to Lake Superior during all this
merry month of May"

That was a'fearful cyclone that swept
away little settlement near Mexico:
Missouri, on Wednesday. When cyclone
lifts up an iron roller, weighing 1900
pounds, and breaks it in pieces, we need
not marvel that men and women were
caught in its wild embrace and dashed
to death against flying houses and up
rooted trees; nor that a baby was
snatched from it's fathers arms and car
ried half mile away. But the wonder
is that the infant seems to have escaped
with its life. This deadly cyclone is, as
far as heard from, responsible for killing
outright some fifteen people and maim-
ing many others. How thankful ought
the people of this section be when they
contemplate such fatal visitations from
a land that is exempt from fatal cy clones
and destructive tornadoes

THE THIRD PARTY.

The baby has been born,
A third party" all forlorn,
They have christened il The Peoples Party
With isms covered o'er,
The child comes to the fore
Should it live, it will be tough and hearty
The Prohibition squall,
Was crowded to the wall
Universal suffrage went under;
Stantord's moneyloaning plank,
On motion of a crank,
Was adopted, with noise like thunder.
For Greenbacks, how it cried
And for silver, would have died,
For gold it had no use whatever;
Old parties" gave it fits,
Scared it out of its five wits,
To down" them it surely will endeayor.

AMEND THE CONSTITUTION.


10 the LicctOIs OF
The Legislature has passed JOINT re-
solution submitting to the people at this
springs election the question OF chang
ing the salary of the Attorney-General
from $500 TO $500 per annum.
A committee was appointed IN the
Senate 10 investigate the question as 10
whether a change III the matter OF run
ming the Office would reduce expense.
The salary of $500 fixed III the conshtu-
ton is so low that those who have held
the office III the past have been COM
PEELED to donate large amount OF SER
vices TO the State, or let the work be
done by other attorneys at the expense
of the State. The report OF the Senate
committee shows Si3.4 expended IN
this way last year for outside help at
rates from SO to 500 per day exclusive
of the amounts paid from the State
Treasury to prosecuting attorneys In
criminal eases.
1t was determined by the Legislature
to change the method of running the
office, ana the resolution to submit an
amendment, above referred TO, passed
the Senate UNANIMOUSLY, and there was
practically no opposition to the same in
the House.
The move is not to give the Attorney
General more pay for the same work,
but to require more of the States bus
ness to be done in the Office aud pay
less for outside help. In the bills now
pending, relating to this matter, am
Pile provisions are made to surround
the expenditures of that Office with
suitable safeguards. If the amendment
should be adopted by the people.
The work OF the Attorney-Gene
department is unlike the clerical work
III the other departments; it is law
yer's work. and he must do 1t himself,
or superintend it, or 1t must he gwen to
the best attorneys IN the State, who
will, of course, exact fees rs IN the past.
The present policy, resulting from a
salary smaller than what is paid most
prosecuting attorneys, is wrong, and
the people can save thousands Of dollars
salary, and allow the Legislature to
remedy the evil. We recommend that
the State press bring the facts before
their readers, and urge the adoption of
the amendment. The amendment, in
our Judgment, should receive the
earnest support Of every paper that IS
in favor of reducing taxation. We give
it our hearty approval.
Very respectfully,
JAMES MCMILLAN,
Chairman Republican State Central
Committee.
DANIEL J. CAMPAu,

Committee.

in excess Of 1900 applications OF en-
ployers for labor. Between the two the
bureaus secured work for 5575 men
and 3i07 women. Whether this pro-
portion is more or less than the intelli-

can not say; but it may be taken for
granted that the charges, being MOTH
