Los Angeles Times: The reformers who
were so hot to rip up the tariff and burst
up the trusts are not overworking them
selves in that direction enough to make
callouses on their hands, but they are
doing" the pensions in great shape.
Los Angeles Herald: A great deal OF
unnecessary refining is going on about
the practical enforcement of the Geary
law. The sentimental church people at
the East have worked themselves into a
great frenzy over the tyrannOus and deS-
potic character of the Act, and seem to
think that the law was concocted for the
sole purpose of depOrtng every China
man in the country. They exhibit an
ignorance on the subject they discuss 50
glibly which is marvellous.
Willows J0urnaL- 1t is now confder-
TALLY asserted that there are three acres OF
oranges in the State to one acre of apples.
AT any rate apples are worth more than
oranges anywhere. California won her
first laurels in fruit-growing with this
good old variety. In 1880 a small con-
signment of apple trees were sent to Sac
ramento. They were kicked around the
ware house and were finally sold to a Mr.
Taylor on the CoSumneS. He planted
them, though it was generally considered
a;fool project. In 1856 the crop sold for
$4,000: the following year for $4,000.
Apples Of large sizes and fine appearance
were raised everywhere, even in the hot
valleys, where many times they have
been baked on the sunny side while
hanging on the tree. The only complaint
made about them was that they lack ed
acidity. At an elevation Of one or two
thousand feet in the Sierra Nevadas they
had all the sprightliness desirable. No
better apples can be raised in any of the
Eastern States than can be seen in the
mountainous region Of California. There

San Diego Union: The facility with
which the outlaws, Evans and Sontag,
evade capture by the officers sent out to
effect their arrest, is unquestionably due
to the fact that they have so many SYM
pathizers in and around Nisalia that they
are kept thoroughly informed regarding
their movements. That officers of the
law should ind their efforts useless be-
cause of the treachery of citizens is a dis
grace to the community. The people OF
Nisalia are outraging public sentiment by
helping these dangerous men to evade
arrest.
bakersfield Californian No thought
full person can visit an establishment in
which the best class of table supplies are
sold without being impressed with a
notable fact; that is, that vast quantities
of marmalades, jams, jellies, etc., are
sofa upon which appear labels showing
that they were put up in some foreign
country. Inquiry shows that in many
lines no attempt has been made to com
pete with these foreign products. Yet it
IS as certain as anything can be that the
fruits which are used in these prepara-
tions are produced i'll greater abundance
and perfection in California than in any
other part of the world.
Yreka Journal: We admire and COM

that has Tor its true object the promotion
or advancement of human Interest.
temporal or spiritual, but when any of
these organizations or societies use their
prestage, power or influence to boycott
and materially injure any person or busi-
ness, they have gone beyond their legiti-
mate sphere of action and will lose all
force of honesty or sincerity of purpose.
Purely unselish motives imbued with
the high interests of humanity will
never permit unkindness, in word or
action to rule them; but the golden rule
will be truly observed.
