Oakland Enquirer: There is no good
substitute for the corporation. Partner
ships will not solve the difficulty, for in
these the act OF one binds all, and one
rascal in 10000 partners could wreck the
greatest business in the country. The
Government could not manage one-tent tn
part of the lines of business now con-
Quoted by corporations, and to abolish
corporations would be to throw most
manufactures and commercial enter
prses into the hands OF the very wealthy,
and to meet the demand for wealthy men
to conduct these enterprises the capital
of the country would glide into indi-
vidual hands faster than it is now doing"
Cloverdale ReueiIe: "The idea ad-
vanced by some that in order to be able
to do anything or accomplish anything
for the public veal in the Legislature Il
member must be able to get on the floor
of the Assembly chamber and break off
great chunks of oratory as long as the
moral law and jerk the stars from their
lowly bed with a lot of imported GESTURES,
is all folderol, as the day of oratorical
bagpipes and stump-suckers on the AS
sembly floor is shedding its last rays on
the shore Of time
Los Angeles Times: Commenting on
the discovery of ledge of Jasper in San
Diego County, the Pasadena Star thinks
that the one thing necessary TO complete
our Southern California paradise is sup
piled. We may now have the jasper
streets. # is time to begin to tune up our
harps. Meantime the Tunes takes early
occasion to put in an application for q
specimen of that San Diego jasper for use
in the foundation OF the Columbia"
Fresno EcpositoT: 1.-THE San Jose peo-
pie have elected d. NJ. Delmas Chairman
of the Capital Removal Committee. Mr..
DelmaS can often move juries with his
elouuence, but the cunning of his tongue
cannot lure the Capital away from Sacra-
mento."
LaSsen 1dUocate: "What is true of the
State is true of the communities that
make up the State in their own direct in
dividual capacities. When local or urban
selfshness is forgotten in the interest of
the whole, then will the State take the
place to which she is justly entitled; when
the people of a community unite upon a
policy that tends to benefit and build up
the general prosperity, without regard to
individual or personal gains, then will
! that community be prosperous and pro-
gressive. The lesson is so plain and i'm
pressive that it is wonderful that it is so
generally ignored"
The -Four Corners: despite the rumors
of State Capital removal, and the en-
thusiastic activity of the people of the
Garden City on the ebb tide of anticipa-
ton, Sacramento still holds the fort and
shows signs of progress. The Postotfice
of Sacramento reports an increase of
81 900 in its business of the year ending
March 81, 1893, over the previous year,
which is certainly healthy indication
which cannot all be attributed to the
pecuniary patronage of the Legislature
during its late session."
Placer Herald: "Since early DAYS there
has not been a time in the history of Cali
fornia when there was so much inquiry
after gold mining property as at present
The low price of silver is driving mining
capital to California in search of gold
mines, and any property that promises
revenue can lind ready buyers in San
Francisco at good figures. AS spring
opens up, the representatives of this capt.
tai will start through the mining coun-
ties in search of investments, and if they
succeed in finding properties to suit
them the result will be general revival
