Southern Californian GEO. C KNOX, EDITOR. SATURDAY ... DEC. 28, 1874 L. P. FISHER, 20 and 21 New Merchant's Exchange, is our authorised Agent in San Francisco Our Future. In the three issues of the Southern Californian since the change in the management, the course marked out for our guidance, and briefly mentioned in our opening address, has been more fully shown to the patrons of the paper. As we enter into the new year it is well that we would attempt a withdrawal of the veil shrouding the future and look calmly and dispassionately upon our undertaking with its probable result. The difficulties which constantly arise in the path of an Editor, and more especially in that of a country editor, known personally as he is to almost all his readers are many; the errors of judgment which he may commit in the advancement and advocacy of opinions which may prove distasteful to his patrons are many; the feelings of personal pique which he may often times arouse by some word or sentence unwittingly spoken, are many; but these are matters which must constantly occur amongst erring humans, and which it is impossible to prevent. Even those who are ignorant of the many annoying details of territory have been constructed with the money of the public. Most of them are owned or controlled by one corporation. Special circumstances of corrupt institutions they have been authorized to collect upon their roads, charge for freight, ruinous to commerce and agriculture. Instead of fitting and enriching the society through which they pass, they have increased the landed taxation and depleted the packets of community. That advantage has been taken of the loose morality. Senators and Representatives, this age of universal population, not remarkable; but the knowledge that the citizens of the county should year after year return their halls of legislation men who have proved themselves so utter unworthy of public confidence strikes directly to the root of commercial prosperity, and drives away both capital and population. The fault has been with the people; their hands lies the remedy. A reduction of freight and passenger rates on the Railways of California is imperatively demanded by and is of vital importance to rapid advancement and prosperity of the country. There are usually two methods of accomplishing this object, by competition and by legislative enactments. Against a monopoly there can be no competition consequently the remedy can only be applied by the legislature. The Necessity of Legislative Advancement and advocacy of opinions which may prove distasteful to his patrons are many; the feelings of personal pique which he may oftentimes arouse by some word or sentence unwittingly spoken, are many; but these are matters which must constantly occur amongst erring humans, and which it is impossible to prevent. Even those who are ignorant of the many annoying details of a newspaper life, know well the impossibility of pleasing everyone, and appreciate the fact that, for a journal to succeed the management must take a decided stand in all things coming under its cognizance. The task however, is to present to the public a readable sheet, one which not only has subject matter for thought in its editorial columns, and which keeps a full record of all local matters interesting to its readers, but one which in its typography and general “make up” is pleasing to the oyo, and evinces the hand of the skillful workman. To do this, requires money, and to obtain money it is requisite that the paper receive a liberal support. Anaheim requires a newspaper to assist in developing its resources, in advancing its interests, and in making it generally known. We will attempt to fill this requirement. We shall endeavor to present to the public a journal which shall reflect credit upon the enterprise of its citizens, and we ask in return that we may receive the good will and the hearty co-operation of our friends. Our aspirations are high; we desire in the future to take a place amongst the journals whose words bear weight; we believe in the time to come, when California is divided, that Anaheim must be the Capital of the new State; we know that in a few months it will be the County Seat of a new county, and we wish to grow with its growth and so identify ourselves with the interests of its people as a fearless exponent of their opinions, that our paper shall become a household necessity. EDITORIAL NOTES. On our first page we publish Stations 299, 300 and 301 of the Penal Code, commonly known as the Sunday Law. It goes into detail after the first day of January. The Chronicle, of San Francisco, commenting upon it says: "At the first of January, then conflagration." This may be so in the last cities, and we have no doubt that test will be made before the Francisco courts are the end of... The Necessity of Legislative Action Regarding Railway Freight and Passenger Rates. There is not a doubt that no enterprise so rapidly develops a country, both by increasing its population and increasing the value of its territory, as railways. Where the roads are built by private capital, they of themselves increase the taxable property and thus decrease the per centage of taxes. But where private parties are subsidized by the people, and thus enabled to construct railroads, an increase of taxation must necessarily follow, until the active operation of the road has brought into the country the influx of population which as a general rule follows the line of these great arteries of commerce. Subsidies to private enterprises are, and always have been repugnant to the masses of the people, primarily because their taxes are immediately increased, but chiefly because their tendency is to create monopolies which with but few exceptions, regard the growth of a community. In the latter respect California has been peculiarly unfortunate. All of the roads now operated within its On our first page we publish Sessions 299, 300 and 301 of the Penal Code, commonly known as the Sunday Law. It goes into feet after the first day of January. The Chronicle, of San Francisco, commenting upon it says: "At the first of January, then conwar." This may be so in the last cities, and we have no doubt that test will be made before the Francisco courts are the end of the first month of the new year arriving. In the country villages, however there will be for a short time per and quiet on the Sabbath, and feelings of the religious portion the community will cease to shocked by the open exhibition dissipation so characteristic of California towns. We see by a late per that the portion of the Co-punishing adultery has by a recent decision been made a dead letter and we fear that the Sunday Law from its ambiguity will share same fate. As the Code now states it is a farce. It is merely a document by means of which lawyers can reap a plentiful harvest of dollars, and which in its general impact will stand as a monument to the ignorance and insufficiency of framers. We are sorry that so little interest is exhibited by the citizens Anaheim, and more especially the Trustees of the Anaheim Ligature Co., in the matter of the construction of the telegraph from Bernardino to this place. The trust of San Bernardino directed to Anaheim Landing would double have been constructed by the public. Albeit are owned or operated corporation.

If due effort is not made to assist the citizens of San Bernardino it will be the old story of "penny wine and pound flour" repeated again. The Lighter Company complain that they are in debt. To get out of debt they must take a certain amount of risk. Go into debt a few hundred dollars more and thereby double your receipts. There are no churches in Anaheim. When the "stranger within our gates" has critically examined the physical advantages which Nature has so bountifully bestowed upon our beautiful town, when, after convincing himself by ocular demonstration that the fruits of the tropics thrive side by side with the cereals of the Temperate Zone, when after seeing in mid-winter a climate mild as the month of May, he has almost decided to take up his abode in our midst, the question naturally suggests itself: What are your church privileges? In shame we answer that there is no building dedicated to the service of the Deity, that the few who observe the Sabbath are compelled by necessity to worship their Maker in a public hall, anh that in this beautiful land of the Sun. "All save the spirit of man is divine." It is a sad confession to make but nevertheless true.
