Piquant Expressions by Thoughtful
Interior Journals.


Amador Record: The VaUeu Record
says IN late issue that butter, eggs yell
Iow-legged chickens and watermelons
ADD more permanent wealth and the
means Tor the comfort OF the people of
the commonwealth of California than
would the richest gold mines ever worked
within her borders. The record won't
dispute the sounGness of this far-reaching
hayseed argument, but will merely ask
what would you do with your watermei-
ons and things ii there was no gold
wherewlth to pay for them? We imagine
the answer of this lump of smartneSs
would be: I'VE will go back TO the first
principles in commercial exchange, of
the semi barbarous days, and trade truck
for truck"
Fresno ErpoSit0r: Men who think it a
positive hardship to patrouize their own
nome journals will freely pay a san
ranclsco paper for a lot of ill-writlen
boom matter sandwiched between mass
OF similar matter Of about 80 or 40 coun-
ties. IN such papers the importance Of
other counties is simply in proportion to
the amount OF money the business office
manages TO collect. Such boom editors
never convey any correct idea Of the rel
atIVe importance and capabilities of the
/ different counties. The poorest county
may have the biggest up, and the best
Ihe smallest, just as the professional

Colusa Sun: Did it ever strike you that
when you hire money it is incorrect to
say Jhat you borrowed the money? If
you go to livery stable and get horse
ana pay Tor 1t, you 40 not say you bOr-
/ rowed it. do you? lou say to q friend,
lend mel horse" and by using the word
'iend' you convey the information that
you do not expect TO pay for the use Of it,
IL Is same II you say lend me Y - 1t
is perhaps from the fact that we nearly
always use the words borrow and lend in
connection with the hire of money that
the one who hires gets TO believe that
there IS an obligation in addition to pay
ing for the use Of it. We should correct
ourselves in the use of these words.
Woodland Hat "Do you sell these or
give them to people?' was the inquiry Of
a visitor who came into the M0tl Office
ana asked for paper. The visitor was
informed that II was against professional
ethics ior newspaper office to ever sell a
/ paper; that they didn't cost anything and
I That nothing would please the prOprietOrs
J better than to give away enough papers
to keep our lightning cylinder press run
ning twenty-five hours day. The same
/ feellng exists among hose
delight IS to stand behind their counter
and give out parcels of goods without lee
| or hope of reward.
! Oakland Tribune: The farmers of the
1 state need money wherewith to move
| the grain crop, and the insane demand
/ for money by depositOrs prevent banks
/ from helping them, as has been custom
airy. The result is that the bankers in
the interior are now seeking special loans
at TAR interest to relieve the wheat
growers. There IS plenty of idle money
Tor this and other purposes, but it is
locked up in the savings banks and safe
deposit vaults. The wheat crop is a fair
/ one ana the money to move if will nm
/ doubleday be found. AS this money will
| be distributed over a wide area it is be-
lieved that it Will greatly relieve the
strIngency OF the money market in the
interior.
Ukiah Dispatch DemocraG In times
like the present, it is not commendable TO
be selfish. II you owe your neighbor
pay him as soon as you can, aud thereby
enable him to discharge his own obliga-
tons. If your neighbor owes you, do
not press him too hard on account of fear
of loss. Business men as a rule are hon
est and Will pay III time. Be charitable
put little confidence in your fellow man,
i'll the security of business, and in the
Government.
MarysvilIe Democrat: Harvest is now
well under way in this State, and reports
that come to hand show that the yield in
uDa and Suffer Counties is considerable
above what was expected one month ago
in Suffer County, in the vicinity of the
tule belt, the yield is better than in other
parts, and will not fall far below an aver
! age crop. In this county the yield is less
than usual as a whole, though there is
some excellent fields III the vicinity Of
the Honcut Creek and in the south part
of East Bear River township. The total
yield in the two counties will be good
| two-thirds Of the annual average.
