What Some Of the Coast Papers Find to
Talk About.
The arizona Daily Star calls on the Tue
! son authorities to at once take sanitary
precautions, or there will be deadly sick
ness there this summer.
The Truckee Republican talks of an H.
mile tunnel as u means by which the Gem
trail Pacific Railroad Company can win the
/ fight against snow blockades.
The Los Angeles Herald. referring to
the killing of Charles De Young, thus con-
cludes its article: "a great wrong has
been done to the people OF California by
this disgraceful incident There are null
titudes OF the people of the United States
and of Europe who would as lief think of
emigrating to the Desert of Sahara as of
coming to State where life was not sur
rounded by the ordinary safeguards.
The Alameda Argus says one of the
| greatest needs of that county is an indus
trial school, and adds: .'With a popu-
lation second only to San Francisco, we
| have absolutely no school or establishment
of any description for the reformation of
the hayward young. Whenever one of
these youthful offenders commits breach
OF the law, he must either be permitted to
go free again, with simple reprimand by
a Magistrate, or sent to the County Jail
for few days, there to learn more deviltry
and wlckedness IRON the more experienced
and accomplished villains who are always
to be found serving out terms of imprison-
ment.
The San Diego Meas says: .'That
division of this State is necessity, or that
it would be of value to Southern California,
is, it seems to us, as plain as wagon road.
But the means of securing it is another
thing. General Downey, not great while
ago, told us that measure dividing the
State years ago had received attention and
we believe he said lacked only some Con-
gressional enactment toput it in force. Now,
we can do just as little in that way as we
can do in securing legislation for the Sec
ton, unless a split could be made in the
solid pbalanx of the upper portion of the.
State. Some say it might be effected by
the proposition to create three States out
of the one, but we do not see that such an
an idea would be the right one. y
The Lower Lake Bulletin still keeps up
its stroke on the railroad question, and
says: "We have repeatedly urged upon
the attention of the people of this county
our necessities in regard to railroad,
which shall break down the mountain bar
riers which surround US and give us speedy,
easy and cheap communication with the
world outside. The supreme Importance
of this enterprise to. us, the benefits to be
derived therefrom to our material interests,
induce us to again refer to it. We
are informed that the only demand thus
far made upon us is a grant of the right of
way, which simply is a grant to the rail-
road corporation of the poor privilege of
building road to our doors. We say, and
we believe the people of this county will
say, Come on, gentlemen.
The Los Angeles Journal warns San
Francisco capitalists that Eastern capital
lists are securing the best mining prospects
in Arizona, and that the rich deposits are
nearer to the Gulf than to San Francisco,
and says of the Southern Pacific owners !:
''But with all the characteristic energy
and State pride of the men who have dis
tinguished themselves in the construction
of this transcontinental thoroughfare, they
will be powerless to force trade to
point at which its capitalists have been
content to stand quietly by and witness
the taking up of valuable mining property
| by men who reside thousands of miles
away, and who have no interest in feel
ing for the development of the Pacific
coast, except what they can make out of it
by careful and legitimate outlay of coin :;
which, by the way, is an exhibition of
spirit and liberality, however selfish the
motive that prompts it.
Referring to the killing of Charles De
Young the Stockton Independent says: '1f
this dreadful example ends unbridled IL
cense of the press in San Francisco and
elsewhere, it will be well. Many man of
honorable record, and many shrinking
woman of spotless life, has had reason to
deprecate the shafts of editorial malice !;
repeated and more envenomed if defied.
No honest or decent aim of journalism is;
subserved by such vituperation. 1t is for
eign to the legitimate sphere of news
paper, curse to the community, and a
blight to the defenseless objects of Boz
hemian wrath or cupidity; and when it
ends as in this instance, it is not alone the
mob who hastily collected at the news who
approve the deed for many thoughtful
and conservative men will say, or think,

The Oakland Tribune reviewing an East
ern journalistic opinion that in agriculture
California is to find her greatest success,
takes issue with the editorial, and says,
manufacturing will be one of her chiefest
industries, and adds: g In that cheapest
of all motors, water power, this State is
unexcelled, if equaled. The truth is its
resources have been very imperfectly de-
veloped, and this has probably been owing
to the almost general desire to grasp the
apparently greatest benefits first-the pre-
cious metals and the cereals. Independ-
emily of these, there are sources of untold
wealth in California in the shape of manu-
featuring capacity of nearly all kinds.
These are being prosecuted by degrees,
new wooden mills and other mills being
constantly erected, offering employment to
hundreds and gradually making us indie
pendent of imported fabrics. While the
prolific character of our natural products
is admitted by all, it remains for us to es-
tablish an equally great reputation for our
manufactures.
