Ventlon to be held IN Sacramento on
September 7th. Mr.. Nichols is most
earnest advocate for the building OF good
roads and would be a creditable repre-
sentative at the convention. Coming
from the banks of the Hudson River,
where long-continued agitation has re-
suited in the great improvement of the
highways, he realizes well the necessity
Tor vigorous efforts in order to secure
better roads. If every man in San Diego
County was as earnestly in favor of mod
ern highways as he it would not be long
before locally there would be great i'm
proyements effected.
Oakland Enquirer: If a saloon is a
proper place for women to go TO, why
should he not go in the front door?
What Is the object of ladies entrance"
or family entrance" unless there is
desire for secrecy, and therefore some
thing to be ashamed of? We do not have
separate entrances for ladies into stores,
theaters, public halls, or hotels. Women
go into such places by the front door, and
so they should go into saloons, if they go
at ALL
Santa Rosa Republican: The California
Press Association met at the rooms of the
Press Club of san Francisco last Satur-
day. The attendance was good. most of
the counties of the State being repre-
sented. The Midwinter Fair received
considerable consideration, the associa-

favor OF the project, provided the money
with which to construct the necessary
buildings be raised at San Francisco. In
the discussion of the resolutions adopted
there was undivided sentiment that the
country outside of San Francisco must
not be asked TO contribute anything to-
ward the construction of the buildings or
the improvement OF the grounds. but that
all the outside funds must be used in
making displays. 1t was resolved to
open and maintain headquarters at San
Francisco during the time OF the fair and
the President of the association was di-
rected to appoint a committee Of five
members to have charge of the same,
such committee to be appointed hereafter.
The State Board of Trade having gone on
record in favor of having 100000 copies
of the hand book of California, provided
for by the last Legislature, kept i'll the
state for distribution at the Midwinter
Fair, the editors resolved unanimously
against such policy and insisted those
books should be distributed at Chicago
so as to draw people to the State Us was
understood they would be when pro-
vision was made for their publication. 1t
was decided to hold the annual meeting
OF the association at Paso Robles Sep
tember 10Th. 10th and 2lst. On invitation
lion. NJ. II. de Young appeared before
the meeting Saturday afternoon and
made a stirring speech in favor of the
proposed fair. All the mem bers regard
the fair project OF great Consequence
to the State and expressed themselves as
disposed to do all in their power to con-
tribute to its success.
Placerville DemOcrdt In the trial of
Heath at Fresno the attorneys for the de-
tense made a bad case worse. AS ranting
blackguards they were a roaring success.
The Judge who permits such pettiioging
cross-eXamination as that otStillwell and
sits for three days, like a bump on a log
listening to a senseless repetition Of II
relevant and impertinent questions, al

OF his court, while he plays the title role
of a judicial farce.
Oakland Tribune: The West is glad
that so eminent a man as ex-senator
Blair is enlightening the people of the
East on the Chinese question. That he
understands the situation was shown by
his speech at Asbury Park. He believes
that safety lies only in shutting out the
the Chinese altogether. Unless that is
done the heather will overrun the coun-
try.
Redlands Citrogrdph: In the absence
of any organized body we can only urge
upon individual fruit growers the i'm
portance Of carefully preserving exhibits
OF decduous fruits for the coming Mid
winter Fair at san Francisco. There is
no time to lose if Redlands is to be prop
erly represented-and she must and will
be. By and by commission will be
formed, but fruit is now ripe and exhibits
must be prepared now. Don't delay, but
attend to this matter now,
Petaluma Courier: The themes consid-
cred by the Sonoma County Press Club
at Santa Rosa last Monday-the Midwin-
ter Fair, and the plan for promoting the
public interest in the improvement of the
public roads-are two of the most stu
pendous propositions, in point of certain
results and benefits. which have been
brought before public attention in many
years. So far as the fair is concerned the
possibilities of benefit to be derived from
it are simply incalculable. 1t is a fact
that we are to have such an opportunity
as we have never had before: such q
chance as we may never have again dur
ing this generation to make practical
exhibition to the world Of the wonderful
resources and Incompatible advantages
OF our glorious State. The
matter of the improvement of the public
highways is another theme Of such vital
import as to almost stagger a man who
tries to dllate upon even the principal
benefits to be derived by community
from thoroughly good roads. 1t is to be
hoped that great good may come from
the present agitation of these subjects. Ii
argues well for any movement in the in
rerest OF the public when the newspaper
men give it earnest and hearty consid-
Grafton, as is the case, all over the State.
with the two projects which are referred
to above. The editor men" are thor
oughly aroused to the vital importance of
these matters, and they will exert their
influence to the utmost to forward the
interests of both. The best thing our
County Board of Supervisors could pos
sibly do would be to arrange for the IS
susnce of road bonds for $500, 000. the
money to be judiciously expended in
the improvement and maintenance in
good order of the county roads. The
principal could easily be paid by the fu-
ture taxpayers of the county-who
would be the greatest beneficiaries-
the interest would be a mere bagateue
compared to the everyday benefit de-
rived.
Nevada Transcript: If the people of
the Eastern States, who have turned their
backs so completely upon the mining in
terests of the country, silver and other
wise, had in this, their hour of financial
need. the use of their portion of the Sl50,-
0O0.0u0 of gold coin which has been lost
TO the circulating medium since the sus-
pension of hydraulic mining in Califor-
MIA. they would not be in such straits.
stockton Mall: Speaking of abomin-
able names for societies, the name OF
certain organization in san Francisco is
Young Mems League of Applied Christi
anity. Ii would be interesting to know
inst what its members think Christianity
that is not applied would be. The exact
objects of the organization are not stated
but as q San Francisco paper says that
the league will entertain the conerega-
tom in certain church next Sunday,
no violence TO any body or anything will
he done by supposing that it may be a
dramatic or musical or acrObatic COM
pany. The more grotesQue the name of
