A party consisting of Frank Unger Harry

of "Chimmie Fadden," and N. Goodfellow,
will leave at 8 20 this morning. for Phoenix,
where they will attend the Spanish carni-

augurated at that place.
Professor Kramer has kindly rendered

entirely non-sectarian in its aims and pur-
poses and which, counting on the generou )
contributions of our citizens for its sup
port, will endeavor to make an honor
to the city. The following ladies have
kindly consented to act as patrons for the

THE CROAKER SHOULD RETIRE

The man who has been predicting a
ruinously dry season for Californi a,
and has made his friends and neigh
bors wretched with his long face and
continuous croakings, should flee to
the mountains and crawl into cave,
where he will be safe from the taunts
and jeers of his fellow men, durin the
balance of the winter at least
After long delay the welcome rains
have come, giving new life to vegeta-
ton in its varied forms and inspiring
all classes Of people with joy, am bition
and courage. The more northerly
counties of the state were favored with
liberal rainfalls several weeks ago, as
we'll as recently, and now this southern
country is getting a good supply of
moisture. There is every prospect of
sufficient precipitation during the
remaining winter and spring months
to insure abundant crops for the sum-
mer season Of 1896
Thus we have a further demonstra-
ton of the generally conceded fact that
California is favored with the best
natural conditions that prevail any
where in the United States. Mean
while the tide of immigration is flow
ing our way very rapidly and bringing
into our midst hun1reds Of refugees
from the billiards. wept regions of the
east. Within fsw days our valleys
and foothills will be covered with
spring-like verdure, our winter fruits
will have reached perfection and our
flowers will bs filling the balmy air
with delicious fragrance. To the storm
beaten easterners who come to this
charming country for the first time
such conditions in mid winter will seem
like delightful dream of fairyland.
And, as compared with the average
eastern state, Southern California is
indeed winter paradise.
The fact is, those who have lived here
for years and become accustomed to
these superior conditions can hardly
appreciate them at their real value. 1t
is one of the weaknesses of human ns-
ture to uu1ere stim lte blessings that
are supplied by nature and enjoyed
every day, but to long for 80 netting
diff Grant, even for the mere sake of
variety and change. When everyday
blessings are, from any cause, cut off,
then it is that they look brighter and
mora valuable than they ever appeared
at close range. Let US strive to i'm
prove our laws, customs and social
conditions so that they may harmon
ize with the natural advantages with
which nature has so bountifully en-
dowed this charming wonderland.

reforms that are to make living for all
easier and people in general happier
must come as the fruit of knowledge.
When Debs admonishes his believers
to adopt more literally books than
beer, he means for them to sack that
knowledge. He deserves credit for
afording the best advice any man
anxious for the elevation of his fellows
can give. That he has often been wrong
must be admitted by any candii and
fair-minded person, but in this instance
he does much to deprive of its sting
the vindictive and unintelligent oppo-
sition of certain class of editors who
have had neither the sense nor the can
dor to suggest the course he has.

An Election Bugaboo

AS Senator Vest clearly stated the other
day in the senate. the Wilson bill as it
passed provided for ample revenues for all
purposes. and its shortcomings are plainly
attributable to the decision of the supreme
court. which declared the illegality of the
income tax. Even without that source of
revenue. if it had not been for the tremen-
dous upheaval in commercial circles and
the unnatural conditions which have pre-
vailed for the past two years, and from
which we are just now emerging into nor
NAL prosperity and the usual trade cond-
tions, it is highly probable that the govern
ment's receipts would have proved sufIi-
cient. In fact. the last two months have
shown growing surplus, which there is
every reason to anticipate will continue to
increase from month to month. Senator
Sherman's theory has long since been ex-
ploded, and for him at this late hour to at
tempt to collect its scattered remains and
to patch them together for his party's use
as an election bugaboo to friehten voters,
shows him in the light of doing old man,
retailing worn-out ghost stories to grown
up children, who laugh at his evident be-
lief in the reality of his antiquated fancies.

BOOKS VERSUS BEER

Debs may not be the safest man for
the people who have been loyal to him
to follow in some things, nor as sim
cere in his efforts as seemed apparent,
but his advice to the people who labor
and fail to get fair share of the
wealth they produce, to "buy more
books and less beer," is as sound as it
is epigramatic. OF course he may not,
probably did not, mean that those
whom he addressed drink more of the
brewers product than is good for them
and in consequence are mentally inca
pable of assisting in the development
of better social conditions, but that in
view of their limited means one or the
other must be largely discarded, and
that such being the case books should
have the preference.
No better advice could be given peo-
pie when they are seeking way out
from problem. knowledge is indeed
power. With the spread of the right
kind of knowledge the conditions
which, now deny the industrious
masses the measure of plenty and hap
piness they merit will disappear. The
prevalence of poverty and the concen-
tration of wealth, the absolute depend
ence Of the many for living upon the
will of the few, are not the results so
much of the improvidence and indo-
lence of some as a certain claes of i'm
mature essayists and moral reformers
assume, or of the instructive greed and
tyranny of others, as a multitude of
blatant sgitators and alleged social re-
formers assert. Intemperance, vag-
rancy, discomfort and the like on
one hand, and what is termed
eapitalistic oppression and monopol-
istic aggression on the other, are symp-
toms Of an abnormal social condition
and not the causes of that condition.
And that condition is the outcome of
economic ignorance. Calm, consci-
ontious study and dispass ssionate reas-
oning alone can dispel it. Impassioned
denunciation of one set of people by
another, appeals to prejudice and point
less agitation are productive of little
good and plenty of evil. The social
