Fresno Republican,: The projectors Of
the Midwinter Fair have evidently made
mistake in asking contribution to the
general fund from the interior counties.
The financial depression has laid too
heavy hand on the farming community
to permit of donations to public enter
prises, however worthy of support they
may be. The agriculturist will con
tribute from his products an exhibit
which will show the visitor from afar the
capabilities OF our rich, irrigated soil, but
the dollars which he requires for his own
business necessities are locked up beyond
MS reach IN san Francisco vaults, and he
has none of them to spare-nor has the
local towns which depend upon his pat
ronage Tor its prosperity any surplus of
coin in this year when the fruits of the
soil are begging for buyers San Fran
cisco will reap the direct benefits of the
fair; she has the wealth and will have to

rural districts will respond literally with
exhibits, and so far as Fresno County is
concerned, that is all that need be ex-
pected.
Red Bluff Ne10S: 1t is a fact that the
farming community looks with distrust
upon the road convention movement,
and that but little interest is taken in tile
proposed convention. 1t could not be
expected, under the circumstances, that
1t would be otherwise; for the reason that
the proposition is new and not well
understood. In a sense the convention
Will be a failure, as much of the State
will not be represented, but it will be
large enough for all practical purposes.
All that could be accomplished by a
large body, can be done by dozen in
telIigent men, for Il convention can only
set the matter fully and intelligently be-
fore the people. This being done, and
campaign of education gone through
with, II may be practicable to enlist the
people sufficiently to make a success of
the scheme. What is essential now is a
thorough understanding of what is pro-
posed an& of the advantages to accrue
therefrom.

Expressions About the NIilitia-Roads-
NIidwinter Fair-Etc.


Chico Enterprise: 1t is rumored in
military circles, says the Marysville
Democrat, that the National Guard of
California may possibly go into camp at
the Presidio in San Francisco during ten
days Of the Midwinter Fair. There APP
pears some ground for the talk, as each
staff officer has received blank report
from Adiutant-General Allen with an
earnest request that they fill out the form
and answer each question regarding their
department in detail. The Quartermas-
ter-Sergeant is requested to report the
property of the State in his possession,
the conmissary officers have some ques-
tlons TO answer regarding the prices of
provisions for number of men for a GER
tain number of days, and so on down the
list. Ten days drill at the Presidio would
result in much good TO the militia of Cali
tornia.

FLAT FALsEHooD NAILED.

The man who can read and will not is
not excusabIe for ignorance. There are
men in Sacramento fighting the clear
water proposition, and industriously cir
culating the story that if the ordinance is
approved, the water contractor will have
it in his power to raise water rates as he
pleases. This is flat faIsehood, as any
who choose may ascertain who can read
the ordinance in the public prints. The
contractor has nothing TO do with the
water rates and cannot have, and even if
the Trustees wished to, they could not,
under the laws, give him power over the
rates. The city simply proposes TO pay
so many cents for every million gallons,
in spot sums, for water that is delivered to
her satisfaction. She fixes her own rates
and collects them. What the falsifiers
viii say of this plain statement of the
truth remains to be seen.

"WHY does not the Treasury pay out
the silver and give US plenty of that cur
rency ?" ask the impatient advocates of
free coinage. The question is very easy
of answer. Every ounce of bullion in
the Treasury is mortgaged. The mort
cages are held by the owners of treasury
notes. These notes are payable either in
silver or gold. But the coin value of the
silver is greater than the bullion value.
so that, as a Boston commercial paper ex-
plains, the Government could coin out of
its bullion enough to redeem all the notes
and have a handsome surplus left. Now,
if the Government should pay out silver
for notes, the inevitable result would be
the depreciation of the silver coin andsthe
consequent appreciation of gold, and of
course the purchasing power of the dol
lar being thus reduced, the poor man
would get it all too plentifully and suffer
all the loss in consequence. To make, in
other words, the holders of Treasury notes
take standard dollars for them, would be
to knock the life out of that parity be-
tween the metals which the law declares
it is the policy of our Government to
maintain.

THIS talk about scarcity of money is
error. There is in tight times more money
than in free times, because it is not circu-
lating and doing the Office of the traveller
that it ought to be. If, we'll says the Bos-
ton AdUertiSer, the per capita of dollars
were doubled to-day it would not have a
particle of effect upon the situation so far
as giving employment, or opening banks
or factories is concerned. 1t could not go
into circulation unless backed by security,
nor earn without employment. No, there
must first be commercial and industrial
confidence before the circulating medium
will flow normally, and give life to the
country. AS the same journal puts it,
the only result of doubling the per capita
would be to double the amount of locked
up money awaiting demand backed by
confidence.

was the assassination of Lincoln. Had
he lived and been permitted 20 carry
out his policy there would have been
peace and prosperity in the south 25

engendered by Lincoln's assassination
made it possible for the ambitious Re
