Some Expressions From Leading
Newspapers
OF Interior California on Live Topics
and Matters of Current
Debate.

Colusa Sun: We like the suggestion of
Senator Stewart that the Government
issue Immediately hundred millions OF
Donus, ana sell them, putting the money
into Immediate circulation, and then take
time to get the financial question settled.
Men cannot settle great questions, like
that OF finances, with an excited or suf
ferlng people looking at them. If money
enough to relieve the Slringency could
be put III circulation at once Congress
could have much better opportunity to
90 the right thing on silver and kindred
subjects. We have not been able to in
dorse the radical views of Senator Stew
art on tree coinage, but the Sun has often
| commended him as a broad gauge man;
as man who has notions of his own and
who Is not afraid to speak them out. We
expected to see more discussion on this
last idea OF relieving temporarily the ne
cessities of the people with bonds.
Woodland Democrat: When the Presi-
dents message was issued several rabid
silver organs announced that it was the
death kneli Of silver. Since that time the
price of silver has been steadily advance
ing and 1t Will continue TO do SO as long
as there is a bright prospect for the repeal
OF the Sherman Act. There is food Tor
thought in this significant advance in the
price of the white metal.
1reka JoNiWdL: 4 visitor in town
from COlusa last week says the farmers
OF that county have fine crops, but can
not borrow any money from the banks to
harvest them, for the reason that grain is
hardly worth anything. The Democratic
policy OF depending on the foreign mar
ket VIII probably realize about twenty
hve cents a bushel Tor wheat the home
market being demoralized by the danger
OF Tree trade, as the mills and factories
are BENG closed, now that the Democrats
are III full power, until assured Of reason
able reward for operating and employing
work men. Ibis county will also feel
the effects of running the home market,
by danger OF a Tree trade tariff, to prevent
the export OF single bushel of grain.
Nisalia De{td: Capitalists are not the
only people who are holding close grasp
on money these days. The organized
labor trades i'll Chicago have not less than
SoOO,OO0 locked up in various safe deposit
companies. Workmen realize that by
tnus withholding that sum from circula-
tlon they have been injuring themselves,
and they have resolved on Withdrawing
the money and investing in bonds or
other safe securities, and thus restore the
currency to the volume in circulation.
Oakland Enquirer: The decision of
the Commission Of Arbitration on the
Behrlng Sea question is a compromise, as
such decisions usually are and must al
is defeated in several of her contentious
and yet secures a sort of protection for
the seals which was the principal inter-
est at stake, at least from the interna-
tlonal point Of view. Our contention that
Behring is closed sea-a kind Of Amer
lean lake-has not been sustained.
Neither has the claim that the seal are
sea cattle belonging 10 the United States
and not to be killed anywhere by for
eigners. The arbitrators declined to ac-
cept the doctrine that the seals carry the
flag with them" when they desert the
islands for the open sea. But pro-
