The new Gar of Russia is already
proving that expectation concerning his
course is not to be disappointed. He
loves peace and will steer the ship of
state in way to avoid war. This is the
best assurance possible at this time that
there is no Immediate likelihood that the
peace of Europe is to be disturbed. But
the most important question is. will the
new ruler make the attempt to enlarge
the liberties of the people and remove
some of the impediments that prevent
Russia from coming abreast with other
nations in true civilization-that is
to say, will he endevor to make
it a liberal, tolerant nation as well
as one of learning and of arms? As
yet there is nothing in the attitude of
the Gar to indicate any disposition on
his part to step aside from the paths his
father trod in these matters. But as
suredly not many more Cars will come
and go before the people OF Russia will
effect REIMBURSEMENT of conditions be-
tween the ruling and the ruled classes?

II this Populist was true man, patriot
ana friend of American institutions, he
would let his right arm rot at his side be-
lore he would incite any body of citizens
TO do that which he knows cannot be done
by assembly, clamor or shouting. For
he would not assume the risk of such an
assemblage ripening into riot, revolt and
civil war. He would stand by the laws
OF his State through all conditions until
changed by the peaceful and orderly
manner provided in the system of self
government. He would pursue the RENE
dies afforded him by the laws of the State
and would suffer any indignity before he
would plunge his country into sense
less and absurd revolution.
In Nebraska, where the Republicans
nave been left out in the cold, they do
not suggest rally at the capital, nor APP
peal to all men to come up and aid sin
enforcing the law" On the contrary,
they pursue their legal rights and de-
mand arecount, and the necessary legisla-
tive committees are to make it. There is
no threat of war or mob violence there,
though the charges of fraud are as broad
and bitter as in Alabama.

Caliha Parlor, Native Daughters, Gel
ebrates Its Anniversary.
Califia Parlor, Native Daughters of the
Golden West, gave an Evergreen" party
at Turner Hall, on Thursday evening. in
honor Of its seventh anniversary.
The decorations were elaborate, the hall
presenting fairy-like appearance, the
prevailing color being green, potted
plants being used in profusion, while
smilaX was festooned from the ceiling
and on the walls and windows. Couches
and easy chairs were arranged for til @
comfort of the guests, and banquet lamps
were placed about the room, while the
soft light shed by their green shades en-
HANGED the beauty of the scene. Sacra-
mento's native daughters were attire0 in
1ull evening dress, making the effect en-
trancing.
The programmes were cut in the shape
OF leaf, thereby carrying out the idea of
the evergreen" feature of the party.
Inc grand march was led by +. r. John
son and the President OF the parlor, Abbie
j. Eitel.
Calitla Parlor is noted for its social
events, but the evergreen party eclipsed
all past endeavors, and Will long be re-
membered as the event Of '94.
The following-named gentlemen acted
as Floor Managers: 4. L. Johnson,

OUR GLORIOUS CLIMATE.

California Literally a Land of sun
shine, Fruits and Flowers.
Here it is nearly the 1st of December,
and while billiards prevail east of the
Rocky Mountains, with the mercury in
places 16' below zero and ships coming
into Atlantic ports with their rigging
covered with ice and snow, Californians
continue to bask in sunshine.
Even the cherry trees, which bore their
fruit last April, have not yet shed their
foliage, and roses, chrysanthemums
geraniums and other fiowers-even the
tender MISUNDERSTANDING to blossom
in the open air.
In the markets in this city yesterday
one could have purchased apples, grapes,
plums, prunes, new oranges, pears,
strawberries, raspberries, persimmons
and other fresh fruits, with vegetables
too numerous TO mention, including
green peas and string beans.
What part of the continent can equal
this?

Practices Act, law similar to our Purity

is strong in the esteem of the people, it is

not necessary to spend money to secure
success at the polls.

CONGRESSMAN WILSON says that hard
times is an enemy before which no polit-
ical party in the history of our country
ever yet stood. There is no doubt of the
truth of that epigram. 1t is especially
true in our country, because in hard
times the ''outs' invariably make the
conditions prevailing the constant
preaching subject for assaults upon the
"ins." Thus a sufficient number of the
people become indoctrinated with the
idea Of the responsibility of the domi-
nant party, to work it's downfall when
the appeal to the ballot is made.

IT is telegraphed that arrangements are
on foot to hold a worlds fair in Montreal
in 1896. 1t is to be modelled after the recent
Midwinter Fair in San Francisco.
Montreal is, of course, entitled to have
her fair. But the matter of the title is
legitimately a subject for criticism.
Montrea's fair will not be worlds fair.
That title is much abused. An inter
national or worlds fair is one in which
several nations, or the people of several
nations, take part by agreement, under
the immediate management of some
State or city as chief promoter. 1t is
fair IN which the worlds people generally
are concerned. and at which there is
full representative exposition from all
parts or most parts of the civilized world.
The first fair at London was a worlds
fair; so was that held shortly afterward
IN New York, though 1t lacked many
elements of worlds fairs of these DAYS.
The Paris. Vienna and probably the
Philadelphia Centennial Fairs were truly
world expositions. But the Atlanta Cot
ton Show, the Midwinter Fair at San
Francisco, the Tacoma Exposition, the
Louisville Exposition, and half dozen
others that might be named, were not
world fairs, nor will that be which
Montreal proposes. The announced
scheme shows it to be simply local fair
on a large scale.
