WEEKLY GAZETTE. SATURDAY...MARCH 22, 1879. AGENTS OF THE GAZETTE. The following gentlemen are appointed agents of the Gazette at the places designated. There are authorized to receive money in payment for subscriptions or advertisements: WESTMINSTER ... ROBERT STRONG GARDEN GROVE ... CON HOWE SANTA ANA ... DR J. N. BUETNETT ORANGE ... N. D. HARWOOD TUSTIN ... C. TUSTIN SAN SUAN CAPITRANGO ... R. BOAN NORWALK ... J. E. CALDWELL SILVERADO ... J. C. HILL TRAVELING AGENT ... A. Y. FERDON "EDUCATION" IN THE NEW CONSTITUTION. We shall between this and the time fixed for voting upon it, devote considerable of our space to reviews and criticisms of the new State Constitution. In our issue of today we take up the educational article. This article which contains some of the most objectional provisions in the Constitution, has not, so far as our reading goes, been reviewed by any of the newspapers in the State. Sections one, two, four and five of this article, do not differ materially from similar sections in the old Constitution. Section three of the new Constitution lengthens the term of office of the County Superintendent from two to four years. This, in our opinion, is an unwise change. It is a well known fact that, however sharply or flagrantly an official may neglect the duties of his office while the party which elected him is in power, it is next to impossible to turn him out. A good officer can be re-elected; a bad one, although his party will do nothing to remove him while in office, will not be brought before the people for re-election. The almost unlimited power given to County Superintendents by the new Constitution makes it possible for an enemy of the public schools (there have been and may again be such in the office) in a four years term, to demoralize and almost entirely destroy the schools in his county. The fixing of the length of term of the other county officers is left to the Legislature. KEARNEY. He Addresses a Large Audience in Anaheim-An Exciting Episode. When the regular train, owned by the hell-bound monopolists, stopped at Anaheim depot on Wednesday night, the brass band played the most pleasing selection in its repertoire, and keeping step with the adjective strains, Denis Kearney paced the platform to the elegant barouche which the Anaheim Workingmen had in waiting for him. On his arrival at the hotel he was again ravished with music, and he must be fastidious indeed if he failed to be gratified at the manner of his reception. Kroeger's Hall was filled almost to suffocation as the hour drew near when the agitator was to begin his address. A large number of ladies occupied front seats, and our country cousins were present in force. When Kearney appeared he was accompanied on the platform by John Fischer, Edward Evey, Mr. Page of Los Angeles, and by Radebaugh, the HANDSOME BRUNETTE Reporter of the Chronicle, and Brown, the ethereal blonde representative of the Call. Mr. Evey called the meeting to order, and expressed his gratification at seeing such a large audience. Referring to the new Constitution, he said that many and radical changes had been made, and that he was glad to say that all the provisions which his constituency had desired to see incorporated in the Constitution at the time when they honored him with an election, would be found in the new Constitution. He said that he would not take time to enumerate the many good features of the instrument, but he desired to caution the people against the wiles of those who will oppose it. Among those who will labor to defeat it are the men who have escaped taxation, the politicians of both the old political parties who favor an extravagant government, the capitalists, the railroad corporations, and the land grabbers. But the new Constitution is founded on principles of justice, and must prevail. He then introduced DENIS KEARNEY, Who said: "Mr. Chairman, Fellow- silence. He said that Mr. the reporters on the carnival from Los Angeles, that the four men in Anaheim were Constitution. Lynn and sent here by the thieving to disturb the meeting.

A good officer can be elected; a bad one, although his party will do nothing to remove him while in office, will not be brought before the people for re-election. The almost unlimited power given to County Superintendents by the new Constitution makes it possible for an enemy of the public schools (there have been and may again be such in the office) in a four years term, to demoralize and almost entirely destroy the schools in his county. The fixing of the length of term of the other county officers is left to the Legislature. Why our Constitution makers should fix the term of this one county official is one of the things no fellow can find out. Section 6, of the article on Education provides that "The entire revenue derived from the State school fund and State school tax shall be applied exclusively to the support of Primary and Grammar schools." Upon the cities and larger towns, which have means and pupils sufficient to establish and support high schools, the provisions of this section will not operate adversely, but in the rural districts its enforcement will exclude thousands of children from the public schools. In most of the country districts and in all the villages and smaller towns there are pupils attending the public schools who have advanced beyond the grammar grades, and are pursuing studies that come in the high school course. In none of these districts are there enough of such pupils to justify the establishing of a high school. Nor is it possible for such districts by local taxation to support high schools. If the new Constitution is adopted, what is to be done with these children? Manifestly but one course can be taken—turn them out of the schools. Yet these children are on the census rolls and draw their pro-rata of State funds. Their parents pay taxes. The schools where they are attending are not overcrowded. Their teachers are capable of, and have ample time to instruct them. The funds are sufficient to support the schools. Yet despite all this, those children must be deprived of an opportunity to obtain an education beyond the merest rudiments. Could anything be more unjust? Could any more ingenious plan have been devised to keep the rising generation down to the dead level of profound ignorance so largely occupied by a majority of our Constitution makers? It will be answered that the county school fund can be applied to the education of such pupils. The county fund in most of the counties of the State, after deducting from it the incidental expenses of the schools, is not sufficient to keep open a high school two months in the year. In the rural districts three-fourths of the money paid for teachers' salaries comes out of the State fund. If these pupils are admitted to the schools on the county fund it will be necessary for the teacher to open an account with each advanced pupil and when he (the papil) has received all the instruction that the county fund of the district will buy, out he must go. Perhaps we can in no better good features of the instrument, but he desired to caution the people against the wiles of those who will oppose it. Among those who will labor to defeat it are the men who have escaped taxation, the politicians of both the old political parties who favor an extravagant government, the capitalists, the railroad corporations, and the land grabbers. But the new Constitution is founded on principles of justice, and must prevail. He then introduced DENIS KEARNEY, Who said: "Mr. Chairman, Fellow-Working Men and Women, and Babies. Ere my advent into your handsome, cozy town, I had inferred from what I had heard that the young men of California had concluded to remain bachelors, and that all of you women had concluded to remain old maids, but I must confess my agreeable disappointment at finding that the young men and women of Anaheim have taken courage to embark on the troubled sea of matrimony, and populate the southern part of the State with the Anglo-Saxon race. I find that they have depended on the wisdom, intelligence and manhood centered in their fathers and brothers to make certain provisions to elevate the white race in California, and forever crush out the miserable system of CHINESE CHEAP LABOR. I love to see so many babies. I myself have four sweet, prattling, laughing, darling children, and I love them." After which piece of characteristic blarney, he launched forth upon a wholesale denunciation of "political thieves and robbers," who, until his advent, had everything their own way in California. He said that the classical consumptives of the country had been given a chance to run this government, and they had made a conspicuous failure of it. Now, they must give the Workingmen a chance to regulate matters, The Workingmen propose to relegate the SLIMY POLITICIANS To private life and run the ship of state on honest, common sense principles. They propose to adopt the new Constitution, which will depose the whole horde of thieving office-holders, and then their places will be filled by Workingmen. Mr. Kearney's speech did not vary from those delivered at the various towns north of us, and which have been fully reported over and over again. His address could not by any stretch of imagination be construed as an argument in favor of adopting the new Constitution. He advanced NO SOUND REASONS For its adoption, but only gave voice to glittering generalities and the same old clap-trap which has been heard from the stump for fifty years or more. The gist of his speech was that the country is going to the demotion bow-wows, and that unless his party got into power, insivable rain awaits us. Politicians of both parties have rung the changes on that proposition until it has become a trifle monotonous. Kearney, how- Of the liveliest kind inaugurated.

NO SOUND REASONS For its adoption, but only gave voice to glittering generalities and the same old clap-trap which has been heard from the stump for fifty years or more. The gist of his speech was that the country is going to the demotion bow-wows, and that unless his party got into power, inservable rain awaits us. Politicians of both parties have rung the changes on that proposition until it has become a trifle monotonous. Kearney, however, differs from the mass of speakers in having a good stock of mother wit, a rich vocabulary of expressive adjectives, which his hung-power enables him to burl at the heads of his hearers with refreshing vigor, and a fund of check and self-conceit which no interruption can disconcert. THE PAINT TINGE OF BROGUE, Too, is far from being unpleasant, and acts as a sort of sauce to his highly-flavored remarks. There was an absence of the grossness and vulgarity in his speech with which we had been led to believe his discourses were invariably interspersed, but still his Wednesday night's speech could have been judiciously trimmed of several questionable allusions. Mr. Kearney concluded his address by quoting the slogan of his party, "The Chinese must go!" and thanking the audience for their respectful attention. AN EXCITING EPISODE. Immediately upon Mr. Kearney resuming his seat, load and persistent calls were made for Lynill, and after a short delay that gentleman ascended the platform. At the same time Mr. Evey came forward and manifested a desire to speak. When the cheers and yells for Lynill had somewhat subsided, Evey said that the meeting had not been called for the purpose of a general discussion, and that he did not believe the majority of the audience desired to listen to Lynill. He was interrupted by a Babel of grooms, yells and cheers, in the midst of which Denis Kearney advanced to the front part of the platform. The agitator's face, which had a moment before been red with exertion and heat, was now AS WHITE AS DEATH, And he was in truth an agitated agitator. He succeeded after a moment in getting applied: "A guilty conspiracy if the people did not know it, and will join with which evasion to be satisfied.

He said that was to give the new given the information he wanted Fruit to he was under no help it." He wa silence. He said that Mr. Lynill had told the reporters on the care, while opening down from Los Angeles, that three out of every four men in Anaheim were agile at the new Constitution. Lynill and his friends were not here by the thieving railroad corporation to disturb the meeting. [Loud yells, cheers and groans, amid which Kearney said: "I will speak; you can't intimidate me."] Order being somewhat restored, he said that the majority should rule, and that he would put it to vote whether Lynill should address the meeting. The interruptions were frequent and loud, and it was with difficulty that the speaker could be heard. He called for a SHOW OF HANDS. And decided that the majority were not in favor of hearing Lynill, saying: "This meeting is adjourned," and he and his companions—except Mr. Page, who remained to say something uncomplimentary to Mr. Lynill—left the stage. What Page did say was drowned in the uproar, but he was the muddest wagonmaker we ever encountered. The stage was by this time filled by Lynill's adherents who insisted on his speaking. The hall was still filled, although nearly all the ladies had retired. Every attempt on the part of Lynill to speak was met with loud yells, and it was impossible for him to be heard two feet away, although he made persistent efforts to get a hearing. At this juncture the lights in the back part of the hall were turned down, leaving only two lights on the stage. A guard was placed over them, and an attempt to put them out was resisted and for a moment it looked as if A FREE FIGHT. Of the liveliest kind was about to be inaugurated. Deputy Sheriff Barham and Constable Wartenberg, assisted by the cooler heads of the audience, repressed the sorrow image, and the Sheriff's calls to disperse were slowly complied with. From the sidewalk in front of the hall Mr. Lynill addressed the throng. He has a great flow of language, is a good speaker, and under provocation can deliver the most bitter and scorching invective. As may be supposed, he handled Mr. Kearney in the most vigorous and denunciatory style, and when a man named Rule stepped up and struck him a powerful blow. In the useless and confusion Kearney received some terrible hits. He ran into the hotel dining room and drew his derringer, but before he could use it, it was taken from him and he was again beaten. He ran out through the kitchen and across the street into a store where he was again caught by Rule, but Deputy Sheriff Hickey then appeared and rescued him. Kearney presented a pitiable spectacle. He was one mass of blood, and his head and face were swollen and terribly bruised. He was taken in charge by the Chronicle correspondent, and when we last saw him he was being led away, a truly pitiable sight, thoroughly cowed and abject in appearance. After having his wounds dressed he departed on the San Diego stage. We have given the plain, unembellished facts of this affair, and it may not be out of place here to make some few comments. We were present when the gentlemen asked Kearney for his authority. We saw him turn pale, tremble, stutter and show every sign of abject fear, although he was addressed in the most respectful and quiet manner. His replies were given in broken, detached sentences, and in such a low, trembling voice as to be scarcely distinguishable. It was the purpose of the Messra. Seibert, McPadden, Fruit and Spurgeon to get Kearney's authority for his statements. That was their sole purpose, and they would have succeeded had not Rule allowed his passion to get the better of him and proceeded to inflict summary punishment. We will not defend Rule's act any more than we would defend any other breach of the peace. But Kearney deserved the thrashing, and it will prove a most salutary lesson to him. It will teach him that he cannot come into a community and abuse the most prominent citizens, without being called to account for it. Who is Denis Kearney that he should be permitted to stand before a large audience and denounce respectable and law-abiding men as thieves and hoodlums? He alluded to Mr. Seibert as the worst hoodlum he ever saw, while the fact was that he had never seen Seibert, and when that gentleman approached him he did not know who he was and had to ask his name. TUSTIN CITY. A Pleasant Town and a Productive Country. BY R. J. BRENCH. Passing easterly from Santa Ana two miles and three-fourths, you will come to the beautiful little town of Tustin City, nestling coily beneath the spreading branches of giant sycamores, and with its well-kneel streets, adorned with long rows of blue-gum, cypress and pepper trees, it truly is an inviting place for one to stop and enjoy the sight of pleasant homes, surrounded by ever-blooming flowers and ever-ripening fruits. The town is on the eastern portion of a 2,000 acre tract purchased by Mr. Tustin, of the Rancho de Santa Ana in 1872, all of which has been sold except 250 acres, mostly in 5 and 10 acre lots to actual settlers, who are making fruit raising a speciality. The orange, lemon and the lime are largely cultivated, although there are many fine vineyards in bearing and enough deelduous fruit for home use. It is estimated that there is now planted here 50,000 orange and lemon trees, many of which are coming into bearing, and specimens of which are on exhibition, 14 inches in circumference. The soil is a rich sandy loam, easily worked and retains moisture a long time, for the orchards are not generally irrigated but once in a season. There is an abundant supply of water furnishings in Santa Ana Valley Irrigation Company's ditches, and for domestic purposes water can be had anywhere at a depth of 30 feet, and artesian water at from 200 to 300 feet. There are within the limits of the town about 75 neat and substantial residences and the business houses are two stores and one blacksmith and wagon shop. A door is kept here, furnishing the town and also Santa Ana with milk. A large and well furnished school house adorns the town, in which a school is maintained 10 months in the year, with 200 census children and an average attendance of 125 in the two departments. There is no church building erected here yet. But the large and spacious hall owned by Mr. Tustin is free to all denominations, and services are held every Sabbath morning and evening. HILLS Westm FAIR LA To sustain CA of doing busi prove a bene RE Of the liveliest kind was about to be inaugurated. Deputy Sheriff Barham and Constable Wartenberg, assisted by the cooler heads of the audience, repressed the scrimmage, and the Sheriff's calls to disperse were slowly complied with. From the sidewalk in front of the hall Mr. Lynn addressed the throng. He has a great flow of language, is a good speaker, and under provocation can deliver the roast bitter and scorching invective. As may be supposed, he handled Mr. Kearney in the most vigorous and denunciatory style, and HIS ONSLAUGHTS Were well received. He pointed out the defects of the new Constitution, and said that it was the opinion of the best lawyers in Los Angeles that the instrument, if adopted, would abolish every Court of Record in Los Angeles county for several months, and that it would confiscate every water right owned by the Anaheim Water Company. He made several other telling points before he closed his address, and promised to follow Kearney up and expose the agitator in every place where he speaks. KEARNEY AT SANTA ANA. The Agitator is Assaulted and Badly Beaten. On Thursday afternoon Kearney addressed a large out-door meeting at Santa Ana. In the course of his speech he villified and abused some of the most prominent citizens. Referring to the meeting at Anaheim, he said that a lot of hoodlums sent there by the thieving corporations, had undertaken to break up the meeting. He said that Seibert, Cashier of the Bank of Anaheim, was one of the hoodlums who had made the disturbance. He further said: "I have seen the worst kind of hoodlums and ruffians, but I have never seen one to equal Seibert." Continuing, he said that McFadden had collected money from the people with which to buy a steamer, and then when he couldn't get any more he sold out his steamer to the railroad company. Mr. McFadden got upon a buggy and asked Kearney for an explanation of his remarks. Kearney said: "You can't break up this meeting; no hell-born villain like you can break up this meetings." Of course, during these interruptions the confusion was great. After an interval of about 15 minutes McFadden again asked Kearney for an explanation, saying that all he waited was the name of Kearney's informant. Kearney replied: "A guilty conscience needs no accuser. If the people did not give you money, they know it, and will judge you accordingly." With which evasion McFadden was content to be satisfied. Kearney then referred to Mr. Irvine as a thieving land robber, etc. He further said that there was an infamous ring of threes in Los Angeles county, and the tail end of the ring was in Santa Ana, and the members of it were Fruit, Spurgeon, Brown and McFadden. The manner in which these groves and wanton insults were received ought to have taught him that he was treading on dangerous would defend any others. But Kearney deserved the thrashing, and it will prove a most salutary lesson to him. It will teach him that he cannot come into a community and abuse the most prominent citizens, without being called to account for it. Who is Denis Kearney that he should be permitted to stand before a large audience and denounce respectable and law-abiding men as thieves and hoodlums? He alluded to Mr. Seibert as the worst hoodlum he ever saw, while the fact was that he had never seen Seibert, and when that gentleman approached him he did not know who he was, and had to ask his name. This shows that he allows some malicious and evil-minded persons to use him as a tool to vent their spleen upon people whom they dislike. It is needless for us to say aught in Mr. Seibert's defense. He is an unright citizen, an honorable man, and the very last man who should be accused of committing any hoodlumish act. Kearney's attack on the other gentlemen was equally without foundation. He did not know any of them personally; knew nothing of the truth or falsity of the charges; did not care whether they were true or false. His punishment will probably teach him to conduct himself decently until he gets back to the Sand Lots, where, under the protection of his friends, he can abuse everybody to his hearts' content. Kearney in Los Angeles. The agitator spoke to a large audience in Los Angeles on Tuesday night, but he did not get the respectful hearing given him in Anaheim. He was frequently interrupted, and upon one of these occasions the following incident occurred. We quote from the Express: Kearney—I call upon the Sheriff of this county to protect the dignity of this meeting. Sheriff Mitchell, mounting the steps—I am the Sheriff of this county, and I propose to do it. Mr. Kearney has come here to speak, and these people have come here to listen to him. If we can't answer this speech properly we had better keep quiet. [Shouts of approval, and a voice—"Hurrah for Mitchell!"] Kearney—There is no need of giving three cheers for Mitchell; he is simply doing his duty, and if he wasn't able to do it the Workingmen are able to do it for him. Mitchell—He is mighty able to do it, Mr. Kearney; as able as you are to take his part. [Voices—Bully for Mitchell; hurrah for Mitchell.] The Herald records that Kearney stated that Col. Hewitt had been down at Santa Ana promising railway situations to persons who would consent to vote against the new Constitution. Col. Hewitt, who was present, told Kearney that his statement was an intruth, and demanded the names of his informants. The agitator replied that he did not remember them. Col. Hewitt advised him, when he reached Santa Ana, to hunt up these people. Kearney promised to do so, and said that he would withdraw the statement if it could not be verified. The True Reason. Everyone who has heard of the violent behavior in these houses are two stores and one blacksmith and wagon shop. A deed is kept here, furnishing the town and also Santa Ana with milk. A large and well furnished school house adorns the town, in which a school is maintained 10 months in the year, with 200 census children and an average attendance of 125 in the two departments. There is no church building erected here yet. But the large and spacious hall owned by Mr. Tustin is free to all denominations, and services are held every Sabbath morning and evening. At the present writing crops of all kinds look promising. Last year the corn and barley crops were large, yielding from 20 to 40 centals per acre. But this is undoubtedly a fruit growing section and not strictly a grain growing. The price of land ranges according to locality. Improved land is held at from 100 to 300 dollars per acre; unimproved from 50 to 80 dollars. Town lots, 20 to 50 dollars. Position Wanted. A civil engineer of twenty years' experience, who is also experienced in the cultivation of semi-tropical fruits, desires to form a permanent connection with some individual company or colony having lands in the southern part of the state, which it is desired to sub-divide, irrigate and manage. Land would be taken in part payment for services rendered, and but a moderate salary demanded, as the chief object of the advertiser is to secure a home. Address, G.B.G., at the office of this paper.

If the people did not give you money, they know it, and will judge you accordingly." With which evasion McFadden was content to be satisfied. Kearney then referred to Mr. Irvine as a thieving land robber, etc. He further said that there was an infamous ring of thieves in Los Angeles county, and the tail end of the ring was in Santa Ana, and the members of it were Fruit, Spurgeon, Brown and McFadden. The manner in which these gross and wanton insults were received ought to have taught him that he was treading on dangerous ground. He finished his harangue, however, without being interrupted. Lynill was then called for, and the scenes of the evening before were enacted again. It was some time before he obtained a hearing, and amid numerous interruptions he excoriated Kearney. The disturbing element finally went away, Constable Isbell having warned them to desist from interrupting the meeting, and Lynill spoke for an hour. The gentlemen whom Kearney had slandered and abused decided after consultation to wait upon him and ask him where he got the information upon which he based his charges. As Kearney emerged from the supper-room of the hotel, he was confronted by Mr. Seibert, who asked who had prompted him to speak as he did. Kearney replied that Mr. Seibert had a perfect right to get upon the platform and deny the charges if they were not true. He was further pressed for information, but replied in the same evasive manner, and it was plainly to be seen that he was laboring under intense agitation and fear. Mr. Fruit then approached and said that he had been appointed one of a committee to receive Mr. Kearney; that he had been to some expense and trouble in fitting up the platform and in sending a team to Anaheim to bring him (Kearney) to Santa Ana in a becoming manner, and the return he got was a volley of abuse. He said that all he asked of Kearney was to give the name of the man who had given the information. Kearney replied that he wanted Fruit to distinctly understand that he was under no obligations to him for what he had done. "I am a public agitator," said Kearney, "and in this capacity I know no friends. I pick up local grievances and then ventilate them, and if anybody is hurt I can't help it." He was proceeding in this manner who would consent to vote against the new Constitution. Col. Hewitt, who was present, told Kearney that his statement was an untruth, and demanded the names of his informants. The agitator replied that he did not remember them. Col. Hewitt advised him, when he reached Santa Ana, to hunt up these people. Kearney promised to do so, and said that he would withdraw the statement if it could not be verified. The True Reason. Everyone who has heard of the violent attack made by Kearney in his speech at Lompoc, Saturday evening, on Sheriff Covarrias, expected to hear a repetition of the language, and a great deal of comment has been excited by the fact that the subject seemed to be ignored entirely. The true reason for his silence on the subject has leaked out. Some of the friends of the Sheriff took pains to get from Lompoc an accurate report of the language used. Armed with this they went to Kearney and informed him that unless he retracted or denied the words, and forebore any repetition of them, he would be ridden out of town on a rail. This self-elected champion of the rights of man, who has so often expressed his willingness to offer up his life and die a martyr to the cause, was overcome by the thought of a ride on the oak horse, and as all who heard him are aware, forebore any but a complimentary mention of the Sheriff. In addition to this he wrote outsidely of the language attributed to him, which the Sheriff keeps in his possession. The threats of a ride on the rail were not idle ones, for the timber was in readiness, and so were the men who proposed to apply it. Santa Barbara Press.
