Rum-SellerS and License Men
Should not read this article expect
ing to find any aid or comfort for theil
unholy cause-I say their cause, be
cause both parties are working for the
same end. They will have to seek
elsewhere for that. l don't set out
here to please them, ''or any Other
man" but to express my supreme dis.
gust for the late resolutions of the
Democratic and Republican City Con
ventions at Cincinnati, in favor of Ii
censing the traffic in Intoxicating Ii
quors-One of the most outrageous
propositions ever advanced for the
consideration of the people of this
State. Men have regulated and IL
censed the business for more than
two hundred years, in various parts
of the world, and no evidence is
wanting to show that all their efforts
to restrain the evil in that way, have
been utterly futile, and for them to
come forward now, and make this wO-
mans movement, which is the only
thing that has proceed a success so
far, a pretext, for repeating their
long tried experiment, is a gross in
suit to all temperance people. After
our women have aroused the sleeping
masses, and created a strong senti-
ment in favor of annihilating the
curse from the land; after having
made it appear SO disreputable to
keep rum-shop that men voluntari-
ly abandon the business, these wise
doctors of political chicanery come
forward and


"Resolve, that as a means of set
tling the question of the sale of Ii
quor, ale, beer and wine, we are in
favor of a judicious constitutional
provision for its regulation, and to
secure such end our members to the
Constitutional Convention are hereby
respectfully requested to vote to sub
nit proposition for prudent and
stringent license system"


The above is resolution of the
Democratic City Convention of Cleve-
land, but it is substantially the same
as those of Cincinnati, which 1 do
not have by me. Just think ofit-to
pretend in the interest of temper
ance, to make that respectable which
has become henious in the eyes of
the people! They would try to paci-
fy these wronged sisters by such an
Infamous resolution, and endeavor to
make that lawful which is now un-
lawful, and crime against God and
man that should be punished by a Sc
we're penalty! Shame on these men!
Yet these nefarious resolutions are
supported by several leading news
papers.


The Cincinnati Commercial saws:
ave need in Ohio a vigorous license
law, that will place the traffic under
restraint and yield a revenue that
may help to maintain the charities
that the vice of intemperance makes
necessary" If the Editor of that
paper desires that the country shall
be relieved from the necessity of
maintaining charities, why don't he
expend his powers in helping to drive
the vice itself from society? But no
he ignores all the prayers of the
righteous and the cries of the op
pressed, and asks our law-givers to
protect the dear rum-selleri In or

necessary in his estimation, that, in

WE paid Q visit this week to the grain fields in the Santa Cruz valley and as the mode of harvesting differs somewhat from the way they harvest in Illinois, we will state that first the grain is GU: with sickles, then a rope is attached to raw hide and tied to the horn of a saddle; the horse then is ridden through the field and the grain is piled on this raw hide and dragged to some central place in the field Here it is heaped up and horses are made to travel in a circle around the main pile until the grain is threshed. After this the chaff and grain are thrown into the air until the chaff is separated from the grain. This mode of harvesting and threshing grain may seem a slow process to our western farmers, but it has one virtue; it is the same way it was done 1900 years ago, and with those who do not believe in ad- vancement, that is sufficient reason why it should be done so now.

Col. BOYLE, manager of the English Company which has bought the Santa Rita mines telegraphs this week that he will soon be here, and A. c. Benedict has in accordance with instruction taken pos session of the mines for the company and has some men now at work there. We shall be glad when Col. BoA le arrives and gets fairly under way. We knew him in Nevada and know that he is a valuable man for a new country, and we believe he will make success for the company for which he is acting. It is of the first inn pCrtance to the Territory that the first venture made by English capital shall prove successful and we hope every assIs- tance and encouragement will be given to the Colonel in order to make this enter prise successful.

We do not know that it has been
done in this county but many Grang-
ers in other portions of the State have
passed the following resolution:


"Reso,ued, That it is the sense of this
Grange, that the frequent change of teXt-book
Tor use in the common schools, is injudicious,
unwiSe, and unjust; that the books we now
have are sufficient in number, and good
enough In quality"


A wiser and more timely resolution
has seldom received the unanimous
Endorsement of community. If the
truth could be reached we have no
doubt but that this Granger resolu-
tion embodies the sentiments of par
ties in town and country throughout
the State. At the last meeting of the
State Board of Education the question
of textbooks in schools, might have
been set at rest for sometime to come
but the Board either lacked the cour-
age to face the school-book ring"
or induced through considerations the
world knows not of, to postpone de-
cisive action in the premises until
January next. What will be done
then depends much on the power of
the ring and the moral courage of the
Board. The general Endorsement of
the above resolution by the Grangers
may lead the managers of the Board
to a realization of the fact that the
people are aware of the enormous
swindles practiced on them In the
name of textbook changes.

This DIstrtcts


As will be seen by an announcement in
this mornings paper from the Chairman
Of the Republican Congressional Commit.
tee Of this District, convention 10 called
to meet in this city on Thursday, the Sd
day Of September, for the purpose oI
nominating a candidate for Congress,
The call Is addressed not only to the Re.
publcans Of the District, but TO oil who
feel inclined TO cooperate with them in
the good work Of freeing the people from
the rule Of the Ring Democracy and de
ieating the Ellenboro nominee.


This call Is issued in pursuance Of CON
ference held at Grafton on last Saturday
between the Congressional Committee
and q tnumber Of Republicans from We
riouS parts Of the District. The conferees
were Of the opinion that the hour had
come to strike q telling blow against the
reactionary party that has since 1870 en-.
tailed upon. us 80 much useless, expensive
and disgraceiul legislation, and that now
threatens to follow up the elelection Of
HENRY u. DAvIs as United States sen'
ator with an other election Of the same
sort by the same corrupt influence next

The opponents ot the King combined
together In 1879 and achieved q glorious
victory in this District. 1t Is believed
that they can do the same thing as against
the same man this fall, provided they
stand together as they did in that men,
orble contest. 1t is expected that the
convention that Is called to meet here in
September will give to the people a dii-
terent style Of man to vote far sS compar.
ed with the Ellenooro nominee, Were

mol SO welded to party that character Is
an element which they iail to recognize
Ina candidate The result in 1879 showed
that they are capable Of disregarding
party ties when occasion demands It.
And yet, Notwithstanding the result of
that year, the same men have again thrust
upon the District the same candidate. The
great Napoleon said that Bourbons were
incapable Of admonition by experience.
There was but one way to deal with
them, and that was to dethrone them.
Let the same men who dethroned the
BOurbons Of this District in 1872 again
rebuke their defiance Of public opinion in

A MODEL JURY-In Truckee last
Wednesday. upon jury trial. the Shers

the jury. which had been out some time.
The Republican describes the sight that

immense bass drum strapped ON his
back, and as he marched around the
hail another juryman followed behind
with drumsticks. Still o third juror

his design being to produce as much
noise as possible without regard to time
or music. A quart bottle was an object
Of deep interest to several others of the
jurors. while game of euchre occupied

Sheriff was so awe-strnck with the inn

COUNTY BUILDINGS. : A proposition is
before the County Commissioners to
convey to the County two of the lots
now owned and occupied by John Pin
nell. adjoining the premises known as
1.-THE Mad House." for county court
house and Jail. If this proposition is
accepted. Pinnel guarantees to abolish
the liquor and other business heretofore
carried on in his buildings and grounds,
and to establish a Temperance Ho-
tel instead, for which his extensive
improvements are admirably fitted. As
to the eligibility of the site for county
buildings. we have nothing to say. It
would undoubtedly answer for several
years yet, and the increase in the value
of the ground will probably reimburse
the county for The cost of the buildings
necessary at present, and materially aid
in procuring larger and better grounds
and buildings in more central location
when they arc demanded and can be
better afforded.

A Coon SToRY.-A farmer few miles
from this city, caught during the-recent
snow storm three coons, and shut them
up in barrel in his woodshed. Next
morning having occasion to leave home
on business, he was absent all day
About twilight q two year old porker
came smelling about, and thurst her
nose into crevice in the barrel, where
q piece of broken stave had dropped out.
One of the coons instantly seized pig
gy's snout and held her fast. The hog
gave a squeal that could have been
heard mile away, the farmers dog
hearing the noise rushed up, and by way
of doing something, caught the pig by
the leg and began to pull and gnaw with
might and main. By this time the farm
er's wife got upon the scene, and after
vainly trying to beat of the dog, she
seized him by the tail and began to pull
too, and scream almost as loud as the
pig. A neighbor hearing the uproar,
ran to the relief of the party, and see-
ing sparks flying out of the stovepipe,
concluded the house was on fre,--so he
snatched up two buckets of water,
scrambled to the roof and pouring it
down the stovepipe, cracking q new
stove in several places. Meanwhile the
united strength of the woman, the dog
and the pig. upset the barrel, and one Of
the coons rushed out stumbling over
the dog, and seizing his tail close to the
woman's hand bit it through, the woman
with fragment tumbled over a snow
bank, as the man descended from the
roof of the house. He ran to her as.
sistance, and was in the act of picking
her up. when her husband returned, who.
seeing his wife struggling in the arms Of
a stranger. rushed upon the supposed
intruder, and rough and tumble fight
eDsued with various success. Atlength
they paused to take breath and enter in
to explanation. the result of which was,
that everything was put to rights, save
the stove and the dogs tail.

Fruit trees which were set out las,

SCI trees, OF a well-settled soil about the

they have the disadvantage Of a hard ernst
from several months settling. This diai-
Guilty can be obviaied easily by breaking
the crust and loosenng the top soil with
spade or pronged hoe. The neglect of this
