‘THE LESSONS OF THIS WEEK.
This is a meuiorable week for Nevada City, affording as it does another
‘opportunity for our citizens to exhibit
the hospitality for which they have
beecme roted, and furnishing additional proof of the adaptability of the
Queen City of the Sierra for large
gatherings.
Bat it is not merely as a matter of
loeal pride and gratulation that the
. . events of this week-call for special and
_ extended reference. They compel
» minds, even those not always reflective
E nor trained to philosophic methods, to
. think; and the process of all the thiukingcan not fail io run ip the same
channels. The entire history of CaliTomnia since 1849 is so recent as to be
familiar, either from personal experieuce or by aural transmission from the
generation which although it. is passing
away is still very numerous and has
been participant in the events of the .
last forty-nine years.
A large proportion, even those who
were born in California since 1850 have,
in the associations of their. childhood
and youth a distinct portrayal of the
process of material and s cial -evolution through which Oalifornia has
passed, and dre fully capable of com$3 , paring the present condition of the
State with its past struggles and of deducing the moral that its progress onward gains increased speed with every
passing year. It isa splendid and a
hopeful exhibition of present manhood
that these Native Sons present as the
product of civilization which. fortynine years ago was hesitatingly endowed: with Statehood Ieomust? bea,
source of Strange suggestions to those
who can remember when the possibility of California becoming anything
but a temporary resort for adventurous
gold hunters was scouted as an enthusiastic dream and was gravely used
as an argument to restrain the nation
from admitting so worthless and distant a territory into the equal fraj _ ileraity of the oider States of the Afja the delegates of the
Grand Parlor it-is not difficult to see a
itype of the steady and sturdy advance
nd the trininph of successful progress
of California itself. ‘
A very noticeable thing in the adoriments both of edifices and of men is
the waiversal precedence of the national colors, showing that the young
manhood of the State is patriotic to
the core. And this is a thing not to be
dightly or perfunctorily dismissed, ‘for
lantie slope.
it bas been a grave question in somevery jonest minds whether devotion to
republican institutions and ideas may
not grow weiker with the national ac% eumulation of ‘wealth and the strain
‘: -upou the national system induced by
a the importation of old world strifes

chosen January 5 11875,and_served until
fhe following January.
There were only twenty-one original
members and one of them was General

first parade, it should not be forgotten,
was on the anniversary of our country’s

first time was carried the bear flag as
the emblem of the order.
Founded upon patriotism, love for
the place of birth and the desire to preserve for future generations memories
of the days and deeds of the pioiieers
' of ’49, the order of Native Sons has well
deserved its almost marvelous growth.
Broad _are_its-principles, aud there is
no place on its foundation for the spirit
of bigotry or intolerance. The preamble to its constitution and by-laws indicate the liberal scope of its character, when it says the society was organized.“for the benefit, mutual improvement and social intercourse of its
members ; to perpetuate in the minds
of all native California the memories of
one of the most wonderful epochs in
the world’s history—the days of 49; to
