Eureka Standard: The recent murder
trials in this and other States resulting IL
scquittals, where scarcely any DOUBT oI
the guilt Of the accused person could be
entertained, is surely breeding trouble
ana leading along to an outbreak OF the
adherents OF Judge Lynch. That trial
by jury is proving failure in these times
Is becoming more plainly manifest every
day.
Oakland Times: Even the English
press condemns the recent disgra eiul
exhibition in the House OF Commons.
The fact that thus far none Of these news
papers resort 10 sneers or sarcasms indi-
Gates that the actions Of their representa-
tives have deeply injured the proper
pride OF the English people. They can
lind no words save those of sorrow and
Indignation.
Los Angeles Times. The Midwinter
Fair at San Francisco viii have one ad-
vantage which the great fair at Chicago
does not possess in that II will not he SO
bewildering in its vastnesS, while yet
possessing the most interesting features
OF the Worlds Fair to make it attractive
and instructive. The great trouble with
the Chicago fair is its immensity-it is so
vast that the visitor who has but week
or two TO give it comes away with a con-
fused sense of all that he has seen.
Oroville NeiC Era: II you desire good
fruit, do not let your trees overbear. one
good fruit tree is worth dozen scrubby
specimens. Where the fruit is too thckiy
set on trees, thin it out, leave hands
breadth Of space between the fruits. and
some experienced growers even recon-
mend six inches. 1t may hurt your feel
ings to apparently waste so much good
fruit, but the result will pay you.
Fresno ErpoSitor: says the MADEIRA
Iftdtne: If drawing gun on man is
not crime in California, we would like
some one to interpret the meaning of our
criminal statutes for u.s." There is good
deal that depends. 10 answer the I9'i-
Cn5te'S conundrum one must know 'W no
drew the gun" "What kind OF gun he
drew" w hat he drew it Tor, "Where
did ne draw it," Who was it he drew it
ON, WAS it drawn on a car or A mule
No one could answer the I'rtbuAGs CO.
nundrum without information on these
and other points.
san Jose Rec0rd: And now the public
are threatened with a dramatiHatiOn of
the Sontag Evans business from the time
OF the Coils train robbery 10 the death of
John SOntag IN the Fresno Jail. Mrs.
Chris Evans, Eva Evans, her daughter,
and Jim Evans, a cousin of CHRIS, are
actually TO be in the cast of characters,
with others TO represent the two Sontags
and Chris Evans-all the iuale,actors and
herolnes, and the officers as evil-diSpOSed
ANA malignant prosecutors. Detective
W III Smith is to be shown as d disap-
pointed lover of Eva Evans, and the other
Iursuers of these heroes" are TO be made
uuIOus in other ways, The excuse lor in
ticting this dramatic horror on the pub
lie IS a desire for money to save Chris
Evans neck and to support the brood OF
possible bandits that his progeny may
produce.
Oakland Times: Another British bluff
has "held good" This time France eats
the leek. She proclaimed to the whole
world and neighboring provinces that
Siam vas closed to the commerce of ma
tions by blockade. ''1o all, perhaps,
except the trade of Brummagem and the
tight little isle where the gray goose
hiesp cried Mr.. Bull, frowning tiercely
in his favorite Squire " estern mood, the
while the widow OF Windsor rustled her
skirts ana softly sang:
We don't want to fight,
But 10y jingo il we 10
We've got the men,
We've got the ships,
And We've got the money, too
Whereupon J John Crapaud shrugged his
shoulders, waved his hand, and in the
melodious accents of a soubrette bribed
with small cold bot and red hot bird
answered back from the main top: ~ ola
une autre chose" the while his taper fin
gers caressed the imminent deadly breech
of a mitrailleuse as harmless now as any
sucking dove. Then sam surrendered
sans discretion, and Jacques of the Frog
Farms is mad enough to tear himself
asunder. HIS smile has vanished rage
distorts his erstwhile grinning iowls and
the air is blue with his ''sacres." Had he
withstood the English blutf but three
short hours he could have raised his
blockade sans peur ct sans reproche.
which is equivalent to say that if he had
called for SHOW down." he might have
won the pot" Alas, mon pauvre Jac-
ques!
Los Angeles Times: It is painful TO
read IN what seems like an inspired dis
patch that Mr. Cleveland is greatly dis
appointed in Secretary Carlisle, who was
expected to be of great assistance to him
in restoring State bank issues and other
wise putting the monetary affairs of the
country on a solid basis. We are not
given full particulars as to where Mr..
Carlisle has fallen short of expectatiOn
but the public is glad to remember in his
defense that he has stuck close to busi-
ness and has not tasted the sweets of re-
taxation for single day, barring a little
trip to the Worlds Fair
Los Angeles Herald: The convention
of delegates from the southern counties
on saturday to consider what siIall be
done Dy these counties so far as to assist
in making the Midwiuter Fair at San
Francisco a success, developed the fact
that the people of this part OF the State
are in full sympathy with the movement
and that they will do all in their power to
render the exhibition the most attractive
ever held in this State. The main diff
Guilty that confronted the convention was
as to the way in which the necessary Y
money should be raised to carry out their
wishes. They fear that voluntary con
tributions from the public will not pro-
duce the sum that Will be required. But
there Is no other way to raise the money
except by popular subscription.
Riverside Press: 1t zone ofthe strangest
things about the orange marketing situa-
ton that there should exist a single
grower in riverside who is ready to con-
slider for one moment the idea of longer
following he plan OF marketing through
commission aRd packing companies. it
IS equivalent to the one who has made
heavy investments in the business divid-
ing his profits equally with a man who
has comparatively little invested and
who takes no real risk in the business.
How absurd it is for man, for the sake
of saving himself a little trouble. to be
