sors of Vermont. The veteran statesman was
greeted with applause. and opened his remarks
with a complimentary reference to California
and her products, not excepting the men and
women. He next said some fattering things
about Vermont. holding that one of the best
things the Green mountain state had done was
to send out her sons and daugh tiers to leaveu
California with those humble principles and
practices-honor, morality, industry and learn
ing-which go to make up q great and success

The speaker, in referring to California's fu-
ture, inquired wha. she was going to do to de-
velop the state. In his opinion she could not
expect the population per square mile of New
York and PENNSYLVANIA, and therefore she must
not look TO population alone for material pros
perity. Neither must she rely upon the pro-
ducts of her fertile soil. The state must turn
| to manufacturing and commerce. He thought
| California should look to eastern Asia-Japan
and China-for her resources There she

a system that irritates and exasperates.
Referring to the Chinese he said that if their
