be that nation If there were not g. gradual
spreading of intelligence among the people,
high and low, rich and poor, society would not
have existed to-day and chaos would have
possessed the whole world. To the extent that
we succeed in making intelligence universal,
to like extent we will be able to remove the
barriers in the way of freedom, prosperity and
happiness.-Pendieton East Oregonian.
The action OF Sacramento's authorities in
arresting Migrants, sentencing them to long
periods in Jail and then suspending sentence
long enough to permit the men to flee from the
city and infest other towns is wholly repre-
hensible. If these fellows are guilty they
should be punished under the law, and when
their terms are out perhaps they will be will
ing to work. 1t should be made unlawful for
any judicial officer to impose sentences on
Offenders and then turn them loose TO prey on
any other community than the one within the
jurisdiction OF that court-Fresno Expositor.
This community is much too small to sup
port separate buildings for the several denom-
nations represented in this place. Isn't 1t true
that II the members and friends of ell the
churches would cont ine they could put ND a
structure larger, more comfortable, conye-
nient and ornamental than any one particular
sect could build without putting very heavy
tax on but small number of people? Let all
worship and then take turn about in the occu-
pancy of the building. If you can't work har-
monlously pull in your shingles as Chris
tians.-capay Valley News.
A reference to the last census report shows
that there are in the neighborhood of 500 man.
ufactories of various kinds in the City of San
Francisco, and perhaps as many more in the
remainder of the State. We look in vain, how
ever, through the columns of our exchanges
for the announcements of even hundredth
part of this number. How are the people to
know whom to patronize unless their adver-
tisements appear in the public press?-Dixon
Tribune.
Would it not be better for the town of Mar
tinez to use her credit to raise money (which
can be secured at very low rates of INTEREST,"
and establish water and light plants than to
be paying private corporations the biggest
kind of profit on their invested capital? We
think so and are of the opinion that what is a
good investment for an individual or corpora
ton is equally good, if not better, for COM
munity.-Contra Costa News.
live lumber market to this country means
flush times and plenty of money. 1t has boon
so in the past, it will be SO in the future, and
the lumber interest can be materially aug
mented by the encouragement of other in
dustries that have been kept in the background
through lack of capital and lack of interest to
q large extent.-Seattle Post-Intelligencer.
1t seems to us that one OF the best reasons for
the convention to be held in San Francisco is
that the telegraph companies do not want it
there. If the telegraph monopolists are able to
dictate where the convention shall be held in
1886 we may expect little later on they win
assume the right to dictate the platform and
the andidates.-Vacaviile Reporter.
VA bold and bad burglar has robbed bicycle
girl of the money in her bloomer pockets in
New York. Which goes to show that if women
will wear boomers they are liable to have their
pockets picked the same as anybody else. AS
1t was before, nobody could find their pockets
and they were safe.-Pasadena Star.
We have observed that those persons who are
most strenuous in demanding that we shall
not have bimetallism without international
agreement are the most certain that we can
have no International agreement. OF course,
this is only coincidence.-Sesttle Times.
There seems to be not single survivor left
of that leather-lunged band who proclaimed
that the only hope of salvation for the Ameri-
can farmers lay in q system of Government
warehousss.-Tulare Register.
Not a man from California need hope to get
q seat in our Senatorial circus by crawling
under the tent.-Phenix (Ariz.) Gazette.
Our wine is selling in New Orleans at 10
cents a gallon, and in New York, with French
