There Is a deal Of truth and sound
sense i'm the following from the State
Register:


One Of the Chicago papers thinks
that one of the most notable features
of President Grants Des Moines
speech Is that she virtually recon-
unends that the State abandon all
attempts at education beyond the
common schools" This is indeed
one of the most noteworthy features
of the Presidents speech. The Pub
lie school can be made, and is made
here in Des Moines, sufficiently
academic and collegiate to give to
any boy or girl an education good
enough for any business pursuit and
almost any profession. 1t can give,
and is giving, the children better
and more completely finished educa-
ton than nine out OF ten OF the active
business aud literary men OF the
world have to-day. 1t Is enough for
the State to give, since 1t cannot
give to all the greater or more orna-
mental education beyond. Given so
very much, those who want TO 60
still further, and can afford To go,
ought to be willing to pay their own
way as they do go. The State has
no more business making young men
into doctors, lawyers, and college
professors, ut the expense Of the tax
paying public. than 1t has to make
other young men, choosing ID gu In.
such equally honorable and equally
useful directions into machinists,
carpenters, or printers. Our doctors
and lawyers are made for Us in three
months, at public expense, and then
charge all the more for their fees be-
cause oftheir State diplomas, while
tie apprentice At any trade has to-
work on very meagre pay for three
wears before he Is able to set mp for
himself. The public school education

pensa of the public. Beyond the
solids every one should be willing to
pay for his own pastries and dainties
or else do without. State Universe
ties and State Colleges that are with
out enough merit In themselves to-
be self-sustaining or which give to
their students an education too poor
for anything but to be given away,
are hardly worth the derricking nee
essary to keep them on their feet.

HoS. w. J. O'NEiL writes us from Kirk

 land Valley, to say that We did him an injus.

 tice in last weeks MGiER in noticing the

 withdrawal of his patronage. We certainly meant to do him no wrong but to represent him fairly, and now give him the benefit of statement of the case in his own language

 He says: " am as much opposed to Church and State as you can be. am also in favor of the Public Schools. My votes in the leg islatures of 1871 and 1875 will bear me out as to my position with regard to them. My objection to the course of the MINER in mix ing religion with politics is sincere"

 Now, as the MINER has studiously avoided the discussion of all political questions, ex- cept so far as the school question may be considered political, and has only mentioned religion incidentally in combating the posi- ton assumed by portion of the Priesthood in opposition to secular education, the reason of the gentemans objection to the "course of the MINER in mixing religion with poll tics" is little obscure perhaps he objects | to our treating them alike in this, that we | let them both alone, and he considers that | we have mixed them and thrown them both l out together. However, he has a right to his own opinion, and. of course, we have our views of religion and party politics, but do not propose to inhict them on the readers of the MINER who are innocent of any interest in them. We shall continue to make war on the enemies of our public school system, and are glad to know that we have an ally in the Hon. W. J. 0'Neil.

The rate at which people are pouring into

 this county, both from the East and West,

 will soon give us the balance of power, or,

 at least, enable us to assume the position to

 which our geographical position and mineral

 and agricultural wealth entitle us. Hitherto

 we have labored under the disadvantage of

 being outnumbered in the southern end of

 the Territory by class, as represented to

 us, who can make it quite convenient to be enrolled as Arizonans in the census report,

 but whose names never occur on the tax lists, in fact who are Sonorans for all pur- poses except those of enumeration.

 We expect the citizen will be mortified again at the mention of this disagreeable subject, which it intimated some time aro ought never to be spoken of, but we begin to feel so strong with the acces>ions to our pop- ulation that we are growing saucy and inciin- ed to assert our rights, even in the face of authority and power. This increase of pop- ulation has come of its own accord, in obe- dience to d natural law that inclines people to go where they can do the best. and that without any extraysgant blowing, or holding out false lights to lare them here, we claim no credit in the matter of bringing them here, except so far as plain, unvarnished statement of facts concerning the country tas been instrumental in turning them in this direction.

Beyond all other years, this of 1875 has
been prolific Of vagabonds; and unfortunate
ly, our State has had more of them to har-
Dor than naturally falls to her share. They
crowded to the peach regions, because there
they expected food and no work, and now
that they have it, they are about to depart
to some terra i'scognita where It is
hoped they will encounter the
isles of the blessed" Nothing so clear1y
demonstrates the prosted condition Of
trade as this influx of outcasts, ostracised
by the fiat of misfortune, wicked, growing
into savages almost. But the raid of van
dals has only taken from the State a few
loaves of bread given by those who could not
see them pass along without feeling and
practice of charity. Though given to lying
in wonderful degree it is easy to find from
whence they hail. A tabulated statement
would show great many from the States
above US, some from south and west. They
exhibit profound wisdom on political topics,
but are skeptical as regards social life and
economy, while mixed with an overween-
ing amount Of vulgarity you occasionally
find some natural humor.

We have every reason to believe that
a new industry is about to be opened
in this county which in short time
will prove highly remunerative. Some
months ago Mr.. G. r. RINALDI of San
Fernando discovered on his farm an
immense bed or ledge of kaolin-the
material from which DELPHI and por~
ceiain is manufactured. There was
no question about the quantity of the
material. 1t was there by the million
tons but the quality was the question
to be determined. Mr.. RINALDI sent
samples of the kaolin to the East and
England for assay and pending a re-
turn from these he found Chinaman
who had worked in the potteries of
China for many years. The Celesti al
gave the material thorough exami-
nation and pronounced it q fine article
of kaolin though containing consid-
erable percentage ofvegetable matter.
This he said would disappear as depth
was attained on the ledge. Similar
reports were returned from the sam
piles sent East and to England. The
fact was established that an immense
bed of kaolin orporcelain existed near
San Fernando. The next thing was
to lay the intelligence before those
who understood the value of the dis

While the banks in Los Angeles
have been nominally closed by an
agreement of the whole three, our eX-
perience has been, by our daily inter-
course in business with them, that
they were virtually open. We have
yet to learn of single party who has
had dollar on call who did not get
1t, be the same great or small. Coin
has steadily increased in their vaults,
from legitimate sources Of business,
and We always found free access to
draw or deposit as our demands might
require. We have yet to learn of q

dishonored. This is saying much
when we remember that the Bank Of
California was SO largely engaged in
our commerce and exchange. 1t is
well to remember that while the Gold
Bank and Trust Company is open,
that it only pays depositors one-fifth
of the amount due them. The Bank
of California, when it resumes, has an
agreement with its depositors that
they have the privilege of paying in a
range of three, six and eleven months.
The Others, while their doors are open,
give no accommodations, not know
ing to what extent this foolish and
unnecessary breaking up may affect
the mercantile community. These
facts, coupled with the tiuctuation of
gold at the East, the panicy condition
of the whole nation, and the doctrine
of initiation conventions, make money
kings cautious to extreme. The fool
ish balderdash of windy editors only
misleads, and little truth is neces-
sary to be written.
