What Some of the Papers of the state
Have to Say.

Nha1 some OF the Papers of the State
Have to Say.
Oakland Tribune: Practically no in
terest is being taken in the Capital re-
moving cases now being heard by the
courts at Sacramento. This is a subject
on which the people are listless but they
are PROBABLY open to conviction by the
contending forces.
Sebastopoi Times: There is no place to
stop ana rest in business. If man is
not continually pushing to the front and
searching for new opportunities he is
falling behind the popular current. 1t is
elthef push forward or fall back.
OroVllle Mercury: Without exception
me papers OF the county favor the propo-
amount to rebuild in modern and sub
slahtlal manner the highways of the
county. The proposed measure has ex-
cited widespread interest in our ex-
changes all over the State and is uni
YersalIy commended The RECORD
UNION, one OF the most conservative and
able journals of California, has devoted
much space to discussion Of the subject
ana advocates 1t as wise measure which
may pc well adopted by every county in
the State.
sacramento EUening Ne1cS: We are
with the RECORD-U in the move
ment for good roads. In no way are the
farmers robbed as in the matter of road
expenses, for, after all, they keep paying
out money eternally, and still have no
roads.
Fresno Republican The boom inflated
cities of the Northwest are reaping the
natural harvest of disaster which inevi-
tably follows an epidemic Of gambling in
real estate. Fresno has been going rather
slow for several years past, but her
growth iG tnnnNn1 on ho
with which she is surrounded, and that
which she has done is substantial and
permanent. That is a good deal better
than anybody's boom.
Dixon Tribune: Sontag and Evans ara
still in their mountain fastness. holding
the officers at bay and occasionally kill
Ing or Wounding some detective. who.
more daring than the rest, ventures too
near their lair. A great deal too much
sentiment and gush is being wasted over
this murderous pair. They should be ex-
terminated If it is necessary to call out the
troops to do it. They are holding the
whole State up to the ridicule of the
rest OF the civilized world. To allow
TWO men to ruthleSsly slaughter man
after man and yet make heroes of them.
IS enough TO confirm the belief of ont
siders that society in this State is still in
the primitive condition of the pioneer
days.
Los Angeles Herald: If the progress
that has been made in Outstanding the
thlneSe IN our midst be taken as an in
dlcatlOn OF the number of conversions to
the true faith made by missionaries in
| emma, the average reasoner will not fail
| to arrive at the conclusion that retalia-
| ton for the enforcement of the Geary Act
will be but slight impediment to the
spread of religion. If the missionaries in
China are forced to come home they will
| lind an ample field to work in among our
own people; and no doubt they would
make far more conversions here than
they have made among the heathens o
the Flowery Kingdom.
Los Angeles Times: Largely owing to
liberal comment on the subject by the
press Of the United States, there has been
marked increase of public interest in
road improvement during the past couple
of years. Yet, the great Importance of
this question and the immense saving
which would accrue, not only to farmers
but to the community at large through a
general system of road improvement, has
only just begun to dawn upon the peo-
pie. There may be some excuse for de-
lay in pushing this reform in theNsparsely
settled farming regions of the Eastern
States, where the farmers are, as rule
struggling to pay interest on their mort
cages, but it is difficult to understand
why this should be the case in a section
like Southern California, where thickly
settled communities almost touch one
another and the farmers are generally
well-to-do. Southern California ought to
be able to show the finest roads in the
world, connecting our fiourishing colo
MES and towns.
