A FLOOD TIDE OF PROSPERITY.

\ OW that abundant rains have fallen to assure
IN good crops and brisk business in the State for
the coming season, the people of California can
with full sympathy note the evidences OF prosperity
that come to us from other parts of the Union Nor
there any lack of such evidences. They come to us
from every side and from almost every branch of in
dustry.
So notable, indeed has become the upward ten
dency of all the great interests of the country that the
record OF the facts by which the tendency manifests it
self has grown to be one of the conspicuous features
OF the of the day In the Eastern States where
the depression of the Democratic tariff days was more
acutey felt than here, there has been particularly
marked improvement in trade and industry and with
the increase in the profits of capitalists proportion
ate increase in the wages of workingmen.

TIE PIPE oE DIsCoRD.

HE pipe OF peace long ago place in his
tory. Now comes the pipe Of discord, per-
son named Smith having smoked it in an Ore
gon sanctuary during service, and, having been
bounced therefrom ultimately fetching up in the
Police Court What his sentence will be the world
waits to hear.
Smith ought to have known better If he went
to church in contemplation OF ensconcing himself in
a pew and there enjoying smoke he might at least
have paid to the place and occasion the tribute Of
new pipe and some mild tobacco. But no. Smith had
the sort OF pipe which encountered in the open air
jars the senses, which in close room, reposng un-
lighted in the pocket is thing OF terror but which
going full tilt makes strong men turn pale Smith
was guilty of the further solecism OF using grade of
weed suspected of containing leather wool rubber
in fact almost anything but tobacco. Doubtless the
wretch also scratched match the seat OF his pew
We have no desire to interfere with the admins
tration of justice in Oregon, to advocate the
obteration of Smith under crushing penalty. We
merely suggest that if he escape mundane pun
ishn1ent the man who smokes in church seems in
fair way to get ultimately more smoking than he
likes Perhaps his better nature can be appealed to
and the sinner induced do his loahng in tannery
where his environment would match him, and there
unmolested run his little garbage crematory.

When the people OF the South start out a negro
hunt they may have some shadow of excuse not dis
cernib1e at this distance but they ought to say
that the negroes had deliberately planned the inaug
uration of race war. That sort of story might go
in the section which hunts coored when pos
sums are out of season. but it doesn't go here When
the negroes decide to indulge in suicide they will
doubtless choose some less distressing method There
is an explanation due, of course but when it involves
that the negroes down there all idiots, and the
white men elsewhere as markedly deficient, it is not
acceptable
