TIE BANDITS OF THE SOUTHERN CoUN-
T1Es.-lt would appear from the follow
ing rom the Inyo Independent that the
American residents in that section are
about to take decisive action for the
determination Of the bandits which


have been ravaging that section: 1t is
an established fact that several heavily


armed parties of Mexicans have lately


been seen coming into this county from
the south. and although it is possible
their intents may be all legitimate and
and honest enough, the peculiar condi-
tions existing here at this time give
cause for suspicion. 1t is a mattsr OF
the greatest Importance to the Mexican
population of .ttis county that these
outlaws be effectually suppressed.
There are many Americans and others
who will not be at all nice in their dis
examinations as to the guilt or innocence
of Mexicans they may meet here land
there, anu it is quite possible the inno-
cent may have to suffer for the acts of
the guilty, if the latter are allowed to
continue their outrages. Altogether, it
behooves all classes of our population


to take some active measures to put a
lasting check on those outlaws. This
is of quite as much interest to those Of
the Mexican nationally as the American.

Yesterday afternoon a vote was taken at
the Farmers Home, on Market street, in
regard to the present condition Of fruit.
Out Of SO farmers who were registered, and
expressed an opinion whether or not fruit
was killed, p voted no and 81 yes. We
hear various opinions expressed as to the
damage sustained by the vegetation from
the late cold snap. Reports from various
portions Of the interior Of Kentucky repre-
sent E large portion Of the fruit as killed.
The ''sap'7 being up in the timber, it is be
lieved that much Of this has been severely
damaged, while the wheat which has at
tanned any height has suffered severely.


TIE worst blow Of all to the Kentucky

HEARTY BREAKFAsTs.- In majority
of cases, says the journal Of Health, it
will be found that the heartiest meal of
the day should be eaten in the morning.
If the closing repast OF the day has not
been eaten too late, or has not been excess
sive in quantity or indigestible in quality,
the stomach will be rested and active in
the morning after the individual has
enjoyed a cool bath. The stomach will
then respond quickly with the necessary
gastric juice for the solution of food, and, ,
if a fair amount of exercise is taken dur
ing the day, large mess Of food will be
assimilated and converted into blood and
tissue. With good, substantial break
fast, no great amount of food will be
required during the remainder of the day.
One further meal will be ample, and that
might better be taken at from to 3
O'Clock in the afternoon than at any time,
if business engagements only permitted
it. The breakfast may be made from
any kind of wholesome food, and the
fewer kinds the better. The dinner
should be light and readily dgested, if
sound sleep is desired and strong appetite
and perfect powers of digestion next day,
If hunger comes, bowl of sweet milk
and well-cooked mush of Indian meal,
or other unbolted grain, will allay it, and
will digest quickly. One square meal"
in twenty-four hours is all that can be
taken care of by many weak stomachs,
and more than this is an excess and
induces headache, nausea, and distress.
If dinners were abandoned, especially
late and heavy dinners, myriads of dys-
peptics would be cured. But under the
exigencies of city life late dinner can
not be well avoided. This need not be
the tremendous meal it is customary to
make it, if the breakfast be substantial
and nutritious, and not thing of slops
and biscuits as it too often is.

PRoFAYITY.-We are emphaticaly in
the age of profanity, and it seems to us
we are on the topmost current. One can
not go on the streets anywhere without
having his ears offended with the vilest


words, and his reverence shocked by the
most profane use of sacred names. Nor
does it come from the old or middle aged
alone, for it is a fact as alarming as it is
true, that the young portion of the COM
munity are most proficient in degrading
language. Boys have An idea it is smart
to swear, that it makes them manly but
there never was a greater mistake in the
world. Men, even those who swear them
selves, are disgusted with profanity in

all bad habits, this clings the most closely
and increases with years. 1t is the most
insidious ofhabits, growing on so invisibly

is isstagnated by the disturbance Of the pub
lie confidence in the future. While they
are aware that they never get their pay in
advance, but are obliged to do their
work fully week or month
before they receive their wages, they
are ranked by initiation demagogues as be-
longing to the debtor instead of the cred
itor classes. This sail wrong. The laborer
is creditor from the moment he begins to
work until he is paid. The more frequent
his payments the nearer he comes to receiv-
ing cash for his labor. If he receives cash
in hand for his work, he can pay cash for
his supplies. If he is paid once week, he
can, by economizing SO as to get q week
ahead, pay cash for his family supplies, and
thereby gain an advantage in making his
purchases. And then his merchant, having
the cash in hand with which to replenish
his stock, can also buy wherever he can
find the cheapest goods, and therefore be
able to sell him the next week still more
advantageously.


Such methods of payment would keep
our currency in constant circulation, meas
uring the labor of our country and its fruits.
Merchants in their useful avocations of
effecting exchanges of the fruits of labor
cannot be expected to take the risks Incl
dental to the credit business without ex-
acting additional prices for goods to COM
pensate for those risks. The credit system,
therefore. is chargeable with our present
high prices. 1t is the inevitable result OF
this system that those who pay must pay
enough to indemnify the merchant against
such losses as accrue from bad debts, or
the merchant must fail. OF course. this is
q foul injustice to the honest man, but it is
one inseparable from the credit system and
only admonishes those who intend to pay
at last to so arrange their finances as To pay
as they go and take advantage of cash
prices, look around and choose the run oi
the market.


To place it in the power of Government
employees to do this, let them be paid, al
the least, every week. If Government
will but set this example, 1t viii be fol
lowed by all contractors upon the public
works, and shortly after by manufacturing
companies, railway companies and by pri
vate individuals. The result of such 6
course would be to accelerate the genera
circulation of the currency, and infuse 6
life and activity into all commercial ani
industrial communities, which would &C

The currency question will necessarily
be the subject of discussion during the ap-
preaching session Of Congress. The quietus
1t received from the people at the late cleo
tions was not pronounced by majorities
sufficiently decisive toprevent its reproduc.
ton in the Congressional debates. The
elections only served to show that while q
majority of the people were opposed to an
unlimited issue of irredeemsble currency,
there was a very large and respectable
minority in the country who still labor
under the pleasing hallucination that credit
is just as good as cash so long as the day Of
maturity can be put far away. There is
also good reason to fear that this minority
is made up chiefly of that portion Of the
masses who fail to understand that the
laborer is made TO pay all the shayes or
discounts upon paper issues. The laboring
classes do not seem universally and fully TO
comprehend that while the purchasing
power Of paper money Is constantly on the
decrease, the wages Of labor are also being
continually reduced. They fail to see that

IT IS something quite entertaining to see the
New York Tribune praising the raid of the
Treasury Department upon the Whisky Ring;
comparing it to the raid of Governor Tilden on
the Canal Ring, to the disadvantage of the
Governor; and yaunting Secretary Bristow as
being the right kind of a reformer, whose
accession to the Presidency would be national
benefit. All very good and true; but how
much pains the Tribune takes to give all the
glory to the head of the Treasury Department,
and to slight the head of the National Govern
ment, whose ringing order to his subordinates
was that ano guilty man should escape" The
Tri6une's method is singularly methoiical. The
Whisky Ring revenue agent, Joyce, goes to
prison for three years and q half. His accom-
plices in crime are indicted and their trials ap-
pointed. This is reform secured by the Re-
publican administration of the General Govern
ment. How pitiable are the results of reform
undertaken by the Democratic administration
of the State government! The national authori-
ties move on to the sure punishment of the
culprits; the State authorities are at warfare
among themselves, through which the culprits
are pretty sure to escape justice. Republican
methods and Democratic methods are thorough
ly illustrated in these matters.

The views expressed In the card about
doctors that appeared this morning meet
with my approval in many respects, except
that portion that relates to the young physi.
ciaD. / consider that unjust discrimination
that would tend to laud the older members
OF the profession to the de,riment of the
younger.


The writer forgets himself, I am sure,
when he expresses dissatisfaction with our

be made by old and young doctors.


Again, who is 10 decide upon the Qualifi.
cations of the two extremes of age and the
intermediate classes It has rather the ap-

to ask for higher charges because he has had
years of experience. rs

can bear testimony to the fact that have

better judgment and more successful treat.
ment OF disease was displayed by young men
of the profession than By many of the older
ones.
Our tariff is liberal one, aud can be made

by the expressions in The card alluded to,
but will feel it bis privilege as well as bis
duty to charge the same as Older doctors.
