PAIRING the Truth.

EDITORS HERALD-The position of the
HERALD toward the press OF Northern
and Central California, in answer to the
filings and untruths about Los Angeles
and Southern California, has compelled
the admiration of truth-loving people.
The Sacramento Bee wakes warm over
imaginary evils existing in this section,
and endeavors to say stinging things of
the numberless beauties of this southern
hive; while, if this buzzing Bee chance to
light upon a particle of truth that par
ticle is so honeycombed with falsehoods
that there isn't anything left for said Bee
to light upon except what it has manu-
factured. The Record Union has stood
upon its hind feet and howled about the
malaria of Southern California.
And now comes Tulare paper, urging
the people to put out grapevines, saying
that the vine disease will flourish no.
where outside of the swamps of Santa
Ana. The Santa Ana people should
secure this modern Ananias to point out
the deadly swamps of that section.
