which the State may be defrauded of
| million or two of dollars, that the re-
| moval is really unnecessary and that the
| Legislature acted in haste and anger and
| not in reason and deliberation when it
! submitted the matter OF moving the
! Capital to the people of the State"
Stockton Mail: 1.-THE population of
Kansas by the census of 1890 was is per
| cent. greater than that of this State Our
appropriations in California by the last
| Legislature, therefore, would be equal to
$40, 45S, 900 on a population as great as that
| OF Kansas, so in reality the burden on
| each of our taxpayers is nearly six and
one-titth times as heavy as is that on the
average kanSan. Even after the Cover
nor has cut the California appropriations
down-and supposing that the Kansas
appropriations are not reduced a cent
| our average load of State taxes remains
nearly five and three-fourths times as
| heavy as theirS.'
Chico Chronicle Record: This Capital
removal question is a measure totally
without merit and prejudicial to the well
| fare of the great state of California. 1t
has been foisted upon the people of this
State against their wishes and against
| their interests"
The Ell Dorado Democrat thus forcibly
| states fact concerning its county: 'If
| the resources of Ell Dorado County were
only half developed, the biggest liar in
America couldn't eXaggerate the result"
Stockton lIaiI: 1.-The burning of Gov
ernor Markham in ef1igy by the people
of Mariposa for refusing to approve the
! Mariposa and Y osemite free wagon
| road bill wss faultless piece of folly.
| The burning-ln-eifigy business has
lapsed into desuetude, except among
| semi-barbarous people,"
Contra Costa Gazette: ga company has
been formed in Pleasanton with a capital
| of $4,000 to go into the cultivation of
! hops The climate and soil are pro-
nounced favorable. If this experiment
is successful it will be hint to Contra
Costa"
The Hanford Sentinel says: "a roll of
| butter must henceforth weigh thirty-two
| ounces, not twenty-SiX or twenty eight,
or the seller and maker may be con-
| victed of misdemeanor. Now if there
| was some way OF putting cord OF wood
into cord OF wood the job would be COM
plete."
Los Angeles Times: 1.-THE ticket-of-
| leave man will not leave TO any great
extent after all, as the parole of prisoners
law is, according to the best legal author
! ity, unconstitutional. Seneca Swain, in
whose interest the law was worked
through, will probably continue to reside
across the bay for some time yet"
San Diegan san: San Diego is a grow
| ing community, with large assets in
wealth and commercial Importance and
larger assets in hopes and reasonably
welI-tounded expectations"
| Santa Cruz Sentinel: Sacramento
| keeps up the good work. Her citizens
! show enterprise. The Industrial I'M
! provement Association decided the other
night to raise $4,000 to be divided
among the owners of factories that will
| be located there"
Cloverdale ReUeiUe: playing shuttle
| cock with the State Capital, after millions
of the peoples money has been spent to
erect suitable buildings for State pur-
poses at Sacramento, is one of the things
/ that taxpayers will not subscribe to UNI
| less they are blinded TO their own inter-
estS and want TO be ground into the earth
by unnecessary burdens in the shape of
! additional taxes to build Capitol else
where to crafty the spleen OF legislative
| body and the greed OF San Jose people,"
Solano Republican: "To say that the
| Capital change move was actuated by the
overwhelming defeat the amendment to
| oAteuu IAe Icy iSldtINo teTll from Sixty 10
100 days received by the Sacramento peo-
! pie last fall is another revelation of re-
venge and malice and casts a shade over
the assertion that the Sacramento
atmosphere is unhealthy, else they would
not ask for an extra forty days dose of it,
The people, however, will have two
years. time to mediate upon it, and we
feel confident that they will act wisely
thereon. The bonus of 81, 100000 and ten
| acres of land Otfarad nv San lose iS hard U
sufficient sum to induce the people of
California to vote upon themselves an
extra five or six million dollars in the
way of taxation; and yet it Will be as
we'll to watch as pray"
