The Albany Argus says: " Business has
been steadily prospecting since the inaugu-
ration of a Democratic national admins
tration. and the Democratic reform methods
in 1884" The Argus should go back a
little further, and tell its readers the result
of Democratic reform in 1850. Was it
an era of prosperity albany Journal.
There is much talk concerning the rel
alive values of budded oranges and seed
ling oranges, but as long as the orange
growers are about evenly divided upon this
question, we take it for a fact that each
side has something TO rely upon, and that
the merits of the budded and Seeding
fruits are about eQual.-OrOUHle Register.
There is every indication that the coun-
try viii, in November liext, be entertained
with surprise party. 1t will prove to be
the return of all the doubtful Northern
States to their allegiance to American in
preference to English ideas on the tariff.
Rumblings, growing louder each week.
portend something very like an earth
quake.-BoSt0H Tfdueler.
We have always insisted that each State
and Territory is the best Judge of the pro-
priety of clothing with the right to vote,
and that if after fair trial, female suffrage
produced results satisfactory to the commu
mites by whom it was granted, that fact
was a good argument in its favor. Accord
ing to these principles female suffrage is
likely to become permanent institution
in Washington Territory.-Sdnta Cruz Sen

The investigation of State Librarian
Wallis has come to an abrupt end, brought
about by the declaration of Trustee Free
man that he would not vote for his dis
missal, even if all the charges were proved.
As these charges were not trivial, but in
volyed the question, not only of MIR. Wallis
competency, but of his honesty, this declar-
alton of man who is himself public Off
cial, is trifle surprising even in this day
of political sang froid.-Odkldrd Times.
This last blunder, having the enormity
of crime, has fastened the inevitable crisis.
The struggle now in progress will be short,
sharp and decisive. If the outcome shall
be, as it promises, a victory for the Reading
Company, it will be a veritable Waterloo
for the strikers. The decline and fall of
the Order of knights, like that of the
greatest nation of history, will be due 10
the corruption and fanaticism of those
within its hiladelphid In
qtirer.
The Troy Telegram insists that Governor
Hill will be stronger candidate than Pre-
sident Cleveland, and therefore more diff
ticult for the Republicans to defeat next
year" This is the natural result of the
free-trade message OF President Cleveland.
So far as this State is concerned Republicans
on straight-out protection platform can
defeat either President Cleveland or Gov
ernor Hill, but the former more readily
than the latter. New York will probably
settle the contest.-Albany On. " Journal.
The walters are striking for union prin-
ciples.~ But they have been unfortunate
enough to make the strike in such way
as to arouse strong non-union sentiment
among employers. As long as union is
guaranty of good men and steady, reliable
service, employers will see no danger in it
calling for measures of self-protection.
But when they see in it the machinery of
arbitrary strikes-an engine by which
every workshop and factory in the Mission
might be emptied and closed up simply
because some hod- carrier on the Potrero
had g difficulty with his boss, unionism
will represent real, live. imminent dan
gers. T. Report.
Never did a President of the United
States enter upon a more singular task
than President Cleveland. He found, on
his accession to power, the United States
IN the enjoyment of unparalleled prosper
ity and the envy and wonder of the ma
tons. He has entered on a crusade to
share that prosperity with the outside
world, and in that way to practically de-
stroy it. This is something that has often
been done in the history of the world.
But it was the foreign conqueror who in
all cases forced the division, and not the
representative of the favored people.
There is nothing to account for proceed

Bulletin.
The only objection that can be urged
against Mr.. Biggs' bill is that it may kindle
a delusive hope in the breasts of hydraulic
miners that Congress and the Government
will aid them to turn lose the monitors as
in the past. Such scheme is not in the
bill nor in the power of Congress to enact.
As for the proposed investigation, the
whole matter was fully investigated by the
War Department, and the reports are on
file at the Capitol, where Congressman may
get the information necessary to enlighten
themselves on the debris question. AS to
devising some plan whereby the conflict
between the mining and farming sections
may be adjusted, we thought that had
been adjusted, and by the United States
Courts. Again, mining is private indus
try, prosecuted for private gain, and any
expenditure in its behalf is no more legiti-
mate than if donated to maintain our
levees. Notwithstanding these objections
land they are triviaD, the more the n.y.
draulic question is investigated by the
Government-State or National-the more
obnoxious it becomes 1t is an industry
that has not one redeeming quality, while
it is directly responsible for more destruc-
ton of property than was ever known or
tolerated by civilized man. Every investi
cation gives it a blacker eye than it had
before. This is so well understood by the
hydraulickers and their organs that we do
not hear of a single call by them for the
proposed investigation.-SutterF Farmer.
