Senator ingalls, has been burned in effigy
down in Tennessee. This is doing the
Kansas Senator much honor, for the same
brave Sontherners burned Lincoln and
Grant and Hayes in effigy in their day

Nolapuk has achieved the Importance of
suspicion from the Russian Government.
One Of the assistant censors has learned the
language in order that ne may read all the
Volapuk journals sent 10 Russia, and if he
finds anything interesting he blots it out
with an ink pad-S z. Examiner.
The people of California can row feel
sure that the one great need of the State
has been supplied; that st last we have
general and welldefined irrigation system;
that the incalcuiabe veal Ii of CALIFORNIA;
waters may now be equitably distributed
over her soil, converting deserts Into gar
dens.-SdntG C1tz Sentinel
The new Democratic combination is
Cleveland and Thurman. The ticket is in
tellectually strong one-posterially. To
put heavy, beefy, dull witted man like
Cleveland above an exceedingly able man
like Thurman seems ludicrous enough.
For pigmies are pigmies still, though
perched on Alps.-Portld,ad OregOnia'l
The decision of the Snpienic Court sus-
tanning the constitutionslity of the Wright
irrigation bill is evidently very gratifying
ID the people of our great valley. II re-

steady line of decisions adverse TO the doc
trine of apprcpriation.-Fres Democrat
If the Republicans of California will get
their weapons of warfare FURNISHED, their
leaders chosen, their forces marshaled and
their army in battle array during the next
two months they will have an easy fight to
win. Beneath the syrup surface Of Demo
cratic harmony there lies very viuegary
'iiscord between the leaders of the party on
the Pacific coast.-San Jose Mercury
There is law against games of chance.
That being so, like all laws, it should be
enforced in all proper WAYS. So far as we
can Learn the present Chief of Police has
done more TO suppress gambling in Los
a. geles than any Of his predecessors have
done in ten years. If the citizens know
that Illicit games are running, by all means
let them show it, and let them call for their
suppression.-Los angeles Herald
There is an old saying that short
horse is soon curried." So is a political
Convention which meets to record an edict
soon organized. The work of the ST. Louis
Convention was cut out at Washington, and
agents sent there on the ground to see that
it was performed according to order. The
only name that ELECTS any enthusiasm is
that of Thurman, who has been brought
to the front by Cleveland to supply the ell
ement that was lacking.-S f. Call.
The constant ascription of management
to the President is beginning to stale upon
the country. The fact is, that management
OF the National Convention was never less
needed than now. The country being with
the President, the Convention cannot 90
astray. In fact, those who for months
have bitten their thumbs at the Admins
tration are now leap-frogging over its
original friends to get in high places where
their surrender may be made apparent and
known of all men.-S. f. Alta
Without attempting to analyze the EVIL
dcnce that has been adduced in the course
of the investigation of its condition. we are
warranted in saying that St. Vincents Or
phan Asylum, at San Rafael, is not what it
should be. This is not saving that its
management is absolutely scandalous. but
that its administration is far from being
good. Institutions of the st. Vincent type
are supposed, theoretically at least, to af.
ford home 70 parentless children. Prac-
tically, they seldom reach this standard.
The San Rafael Asylum is a good WAYS be-

The opening of the permanent eynosi
ton at Sacramento of products of Northern
and Central California is a significant step
in the progress of the upper
part of the State The ex-
hibition will be continuous and perma-
nent demonstration of what the great Sac.
ramento basin has to offer home.seekers
from all parts of the world. Much good
may be anticipated from this display. 1t
is SO situated as to draw the attention of
all who may visit Sacramento by rail, and
the sight of its attractions ought to be suf- |
hcient TO arrest the march of thousands of
who might otherwise pass on
ward to seek locations in the more southern
part OF the State.-AarysriHe Appeal
