Fresno Republican: The United States
Government may be badly poverty
stricken, but it ought to be able to give
It's employees safe quarters in which to
work. 1t is not a creditable thing for
great Government to house its employees
IN dilapidated old buildings, which are
known to be unsafe. The blood of Thurs
days victims is upon the hands OF those
who employed them to work in man
trap, and the Government must and
should pay roundly for its criminal neg
ligeIce.
Marysville Democrat: We predict that
the officers composing the Debris Com
mission will perform the service required
OF them in an impartial way, adhering
strictly to the letter OF the law. In every
instance where an application is made
Tor a permit to mine by hydraulic pro-
cess, ample notice will be given ana each
case thoroughly considered. Not one
permit will receive their sanction until
restraining works or other means have
been provided that will prevent the mat
ter washed from the mine from going
into the narigable streams. Ii this can
be done hydraulic mining may be re-
sumed, If not it must cease forever. There
IS wide difference of opinion on this
point, and while we have little faith i'll

Marin County I'OcSj71: We NAV talk
about hard times in California, and doubt
less 1t would not be difficult to improve
matters here, but when we turn from the
contemplation of our own grievances
and regard for moment the news of the
world, showing general unsettlement of
business affairs practically unparalleled
in modern times, reasonable people on
the Pacific Coast have good reason to be
thankful that they are where they are
IN all the busy centers of the earth, in
Europe, in Australia, in South America.
in the United States. sort of financial
reign OF terror is raging.
Los Angeles Herald: The real solution
of the export of gold lies right in the
hands OF the Washington authorities. We
hear much about the parity OF all MONEYS
and about the maintaining Of that parity.
that circulate in the United States. The
true remedy for our present difficulties is
decaratory Act, recapitulating the cir
cumstances under which our national
debt was contracted, and declaring it
payable in lawful money of the United
States. Then, in all disbursements bv
the national treasury, let our financial
officers pay out the kind of money which
best suits their convenience at the time.
COlusa Sun: The business of the world
| is not done with money, but with conf
dence. At least 80 per cent. of the bust
ness of the world is done with paper. and
the basis of that paper is confidence,
hence the business is done on confidence.
Many things have conspired OF late to
destroy confidence. Let alone, silver
| and gold and paper seek their own level.
but let any effort be made to force any
one of them and the one sought to be
forced on the people goes down; and any
earnest disposition to use force will re-
tire the thing sought to be forced, and
will make all things unsteady.
Cloverdale Re0eiUe: The disposition to
make of Memorial Day a picnic day
should be frowned down. 1t was
men who laid down their lives in defense
of their country, and the object is scarcely
attained by picnicking. The Grand
Army of the Republic is quite right in
protesting against the prevailing custom
of holding Sunday-school picnics on that
day. 1t is on children especially that it
is desired to impress the lesson of LOYALTY
which the day typifies.
San Jose Record: No person Of sensi-
bility can but feel sympathy for the
woman who worked in the dives of San
Francisco, and, finding them closed. are
now seeking honorable employment
but when these poor creatures implore
help on the ground that "a hopeless
future will kill even the deep maternal
INSTINCT" it is not impossible that oener-
GUS impulses may be checked in thought
less persons who would prefer to see the
census increased without the promptings
of maternal instinct in that kind of peO-
pie.
San Diego Union: Each year nut cult
ure attracts more attention, and the de-
mand for nuts continues to increase so
steadily that a good market for all that
may be raised is insured. California pro-
duces better English walnuts than are
grown elsewhere in the world, and a
permanent income may be easily secured
by planting extensively this great favor
lite. Other kinds Of nuts do well in this
State, the almond in particular being adj
mirably adapted to local cultivation.
In various parts of San Diego County
walnuts, almonds, tilberts and pecans
so easily produced that every fruit
rancher could add a considerable sum to
his annual income by cultivating them
between his trees. Chestnuts here attain
large size, but do not have the flavor so
essential to their ready sale. Thew should
not be grown, but the space they wouid
occupy should be devoted to more profit
able crops.
California Fruit Grocer: The exneri-
ence of nearly every county. town or
community which has been throuph the
write-up period with outside publica-
tons has seen that III general the thine
don't pay. The best possible write-uns
that any place can have are those in the
regularly published papers of the local
ity, inspired by decent support and en-
couraged by those interested in the de-
velopment of the country. No better
gauge OF the real merits of any locality
can be found than in the appearance Of
the local newspaper. If that is bright,
cream, ana well patronized by merchants
and others, newcomers will make no
mistake in locating in such places.
Colusa Herald: San Jose has about
decided that if the State Capital is to be
delivered to them in G. 0. ID. package.
