The talk about Hill as Presidential
candidate, and about his chances of beat
ing Cleveland is sheer nonsense If the
Convention met to-day, Cleveland would
be nominated with a hurrah. He may not
be the strongest candidate, but he has got a
firm grip on the machine Oakland En-

DR.. McGlypn and Henry George who
have been connubia,ing for the last twelve
months or so, have had a split. and the
whole world wonders how they ever ran
in double harness for a single week. The
explanation is probably to be found in the
fact that cranks of all kinds assimilate.-

The President and his friends keep on
telling the wool-growers, miners and man
ufacturers that the tariff is expressing
rather than helping them bat these in
dividuals keep right on just the same in
their determination to aid in making the
Democratic funeral next November as in
teresting to the corpse as possible Vallejo

For visionary Ieformer George has had
a most remarkable business success. He
seems to know just when it is time to sub
ordinate theoretical economies to his own
interests. The Democracy in New York is
very much in need of all the votes it can
get this year, and George does, or did, con-
troll thirty odd thousand of them They
are an excellent anti-poverty organization
for him.--Reno Gazette.
The Pacific coast delegation should unite
and press Senator Stewards anti. Chinese
bill TO speedy passage. This measure
strikes at the root of the difficulty, and will
afford the desired relief. 1t has the further
merit Of not interfering with treaty obliga-
tons, and in that will commend itself to
the Eastern sentiment, which must be con-
ciliated If any further anti-C Chinese legisla-
ton is had.-S. 4. 1Ltd.
Governor Stanford was right when he
told the Senate sub Committee of Foreign
Relations that the unanimous sentiment of
the Pacific coast was, that no more Chinese
should be allowed to come into the United
States. Any and all treaties which should
bear different construction should be an
nulled by the notice required to be given in
such cases, and their repeal anticipated

ton as will secure the exclusion of Chinese
immigration without delay.-Odkldnd Her

1t may be urged that cotton seed oil is as
good as olive oil or lard. If so, sell it
under its own name. If people want cot
ton seed oil let them use il, only don't sell
it for WHIST it is not. The same may be
said of olemargarine. Some of it is GER
tainly better than much of the butter put
in the market. 1t is not butter; why sell
it for butter? Many persons also manu-
facture bogus wines and advertise them as
pure California wines, saying they are Just
as good and that no one can tell the differ
ence. Sell them on their own merits then,
and not on the reputation of something
else.-San .Jose Mercury.
There is nothing quite so puerile, so silly,
so absolutely idiotic, in the whole system
of Federal government and legislation as
the way Congress goes about public build
iings; or, indeed, any public improvement.
The idea of that body seems to be that there
is mot money enough to really do anything
with. and that everything must wait until
thesmoney can be collected, year by year.
from taxation. Now, such way of doing
business was all well enough when the
United States was sailing close 10 the wind
and had to use its funds with the greatest
care; bat now, with the country grooming
