WHAT THE COUNTRY PRESS SAY.

WHAT THE COUNTRY PRESS SAY.
San Diego Union That American ideas
are being popularized in the Old World.
Stockton Herald That the Democrats
only exercised right, to elect President
pro tenn. as they did.
Stanislaus Ne,cs.. That our laws, instead
of protecting American laborers, are en-
couraging the Chinese on this coast.
Oakland Times That the Indians should
be the wards of the army, as the Indian re-
spects the power that Furnishes.
San Luis Rey Star: That the welcome
sound of saw and hammer echoes now
through the canyons and valleys of San
Diego.
Oakland Tribune. That if there be d.
vision in the Republican ranks in the EN-
pire State, the Democracy appears to be in
no more harmonious condition.
The fact that the locator of mining
claim is not twenty.one years old does not
render the locationsinvalid.- Decision of
Commissioner, June 20, 1880.
San Jose Herald. That the proposition
by the miners to violate the orders of
Court, is new way of defying the laws,
and it will be interesting to watch what
comes of it.
Oakland Tribune That the absurdities
Of the lily digested New Constitution are
coming to light, as its provisions are being
enforced. One of the muddles in which
the State is landed is in reference to taxa
tion. In time it will be put in shape but
in the meantime the evils must be endured.
Gold Hills Ne,cs That upon his own
soil the American horse has beaten the
records of the world in his matches against
time and space, and established a record
and reputation for speed and bottom su-
perior to all others, and the limit of his
achievements is not yet ascertained and
defined.
Independent Calistogan That journal.
ism has not only become a profession,
which demands particular training to
command success in it, but the character
of the editorial matter has entirely changed
from what it was formerly. Twenty years.
or more, ago the editorials were grave dis
ouisitions, now condensation is the chief
study.
Stockton Herald That it is sufficient
for some men, and some journals, to know
what somebody else thinks about any
question which agitates the public mind,
and they therefore quote what others think
and say, rather than quote the law or the
testimony on which those Others base their
opinions, or, from the law and testimony,
form opinions of their own.
Amador Sentinel. That the valley people
are a little too fast, it seems to us. The
Federal Government sold the land to the
miners, giving them permission to mine
and until the protection which that power
throws around all its citizens is with
drawn, we think that our valley opponents
will be forced to see little of the old
time prosperity remain with the mining
counties.
Solano Times. That our English cousins
are more amiable than they were hun
dred years ago, for the London Times now
says, in speaking of the surrender at York
town "We have quite as much reason as
the Americans to share their centenary
thanksgiving, since that event only forced
the Government to acknowledge what
everybody knew-that the war they were
waging was hopeless.
Healdsburg Enterprise. That nine tenths
of our citizens are drifting. They claim
allegiance and are faithful TO either one or
the other of the great political parties
but the underlying principles of these par
ties are so abstruse, because they are so
merged and similar, that it takes wise
man to define the line OF demarcation. But
the waters in which we are drifting are
gradually but surely working we'll defined
channels
Yolo Mail. That in regard to the pro-
posed actions by the Acknowledgement to
recover back money paid out for work un-
der the Drainage Act, sit may be law,
but it is certainly not justice, nor equity
nor right, and would be deep disgrace to
the State. The State ordered the work
through its agents, the public officials, and
to turn round now and repudiate all that
has thus been done in good faith, by men
relying upon the honor and honesty of the
State to fulill its contracts, would be the
hight of meanness and bad faith"
San Diego Sun. That there will soon be
large demand for labor in California.
Our farmers all say that the reason that
they employ so many Chinese is because
they cannot procure white help, or if they
can, that the average farm hand regards
his appetite for strong drink as of vaster
Importance than the interests of his en-
ployer. In consequence they do not en-
ploy them, and no one can blame them for
not doing so. Our theory in regard to the
matter is that we would rather employ a
man, no matter if he came from China,
Japan, or the wilds of Africa, if he was
faithful to his trust, than to employ one
who could not attend to his business.
Labor in any form is not disgraceful; to
remain idle when work can be had is dis.
graceful.
