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.

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 among the social dilemmas which are » caused by the increase of population P aud its veutering in densely peopled ‘cities.
