What Some of the Interior Papers
Say
OF Matters of Local and Public Inter-
est, of Sacramento and
the Capital.

Oroville NeaO Era: "Advices from

condition, and as the weather now
promises to become settled, there is reason
to look for more than an average crop.
taking the State as a whole"
Napa Register: "The State Board of
Trade has appointed a committee of three
to manage the publication of the State
handbook, for which the State appro-
priated $4,000. Two OF the members of
the committee are w. ii. Mills, Land
Agent of the Southern Pacific Company,
and n. p. Chapman, attorney for the
Southern Pacific.-San Francisco Report.
The State Board of Trade has done
nothing of the kind. +. w. Maslin has
been appointed by the Governor as editor
| of that book, and to the Governor alone
Mr.. Maslin is answerable for the charac-
ter of his work. In its long established
practice OF prejudicing the public mind
| the Report has got reckless, and without
regard to facts mixes the matter of cata-
loguing the States exhibit at the
Worlds Fair Ia proper thing to do with
the publication of a State ndbook-two
very different pieces of work"
Oroville Mercury: with the large

the still larger number that will be pro-
ducing fruit in a few years, causes the
absolute necessity for cannery. 1t
| would cause an active demand for fruit

deal of money. If capitalists will not
take hold of the matter, why not form
cooperative association among the grow
| ers and erect one themselves. 1t is a ne
cessity and will have to come sooner or
| LATER"
| Modesto Neacs: ''If the Capital remov-
al proposition is not to be submitted to

| binding, the sooner it is known the bet

case be fully settled, and then if the
matter goes to the people for final adiudi-
cation their verdict should be binding.
San Jose no DOUBT Will be able to protect
| in the courts whatever rights she may
| have in the question at issue. 1t is to be
hoped the complaint will be broad enough
to cover every point possibly involved"
| Redlands Citrogrdph:: "There are i'm
mense tracts of Government desert land
in South California that are, in their pres
ent condition, almost or quite yalueless.
! TO be made productive they must be

Walled Cities In Asia.

The first glimpse we get of an east
ern walled city unfolds at once mem
ories of our childhood days, which
have perhaps never been awakened
since, and the pictures of our childish
books, which impressed themselves
80 vividly upon our minds, are repro
duced in the bright colors of old,
when we are brought face to face
with the quaint battlements and the
dark gateways, with the accessories
of bright, burning sunshine and tur-
baned figures and professions of cam.
els and the listless calm of the trop-
ical land. Such old cities are still to
be seen in India, still walled in the
old fashion and still peopled by the
figures of the Biblical picture book.
Closely akin to them are walled
towns standing on the canals of mid
China, passing through which, say
at the close of day, when every tower
and every roof stands out clearly cut
against the brilliant western sky and
we are challenged by grotesque fig
ure, armed with spear and proba-
bly, wearing armor, the illusion is
complete, and for the moment we
find it hard to realize that we are

century Cor. Chicago Herald.

Humor of Napoleon I.

Great men have often been def
cient in the sense of humor. This
was markedly the case with Napo-
leon /, whose sense of humor, if he
possessed it, was Of grim sort. 1t
is recorded, however, that he had a
certain sympathy with pun, and
several of his minor appointments
were actually made because the ap-
pointees' names seemed to indicate
their fitness for the place. He made
M. Bigot, for instance, his minister
of public worship at one time, and
when he was looking about for a
governor of the pages in the imperial
palace he could think of no one so
appropriate for the place as General
Gardanne, whose name, IN French,
signifies keeper of donkeys.
When he came to make Marshal
Victor Beau-Soleil duke, it struck
Napoleon that the opportunity was
an excellent one to make sort of
reverse or "bsck action" pun on the
marshal's name. Beau-Soleil signifies
beautiful sunshine, SO the emperor
created the man the Due de Bellune
(which was very much as if he had
made him the Duke Fine Moon
Youths Companion.

A Proud Animal,

The crier, or tambourineur, as he
is generally called, because he carries
a drum, is one of the institutions of
rural France. The crier's business is
to announce to all whom it may con-
Germ that the animal is to be killed
this very evening, and tomorrow
morning its flesh will be sold at !
franc 25 centimes the kilo. 1t will
all go at uniform price, for this is
the custom. Those who want the
aloyau, or sirloin. will only have to
be in haste.
The OK, notwithstanding the fact
that he has a rope tied round his
nose and horns and is led>by the
butcher, evidently thinks it great
distinction to be tambou1ine. His
expression indicates that this is the
proudest day of his life.
Every time the drum begins to rat
tie he fourishes his tail, and when
each little ceremony is over hemoves
to fresh place with a jaunty air, as
if he were aware that all this drum
ming and fuss were especially in
tended for his entertainment. No
condemned wretch ever made his APP
pearance in public with a better
grace.-"Wanderings by Southern

Teaching versus Recitation Hearing.

Teaching is of all the professions
the most useful for the public vel
fare, as it is one of the most labori-
GUS and skilled, and should be paid
according to its deserts. Recitation
hearing, however, is one of the easi-
est, least skilled and most useless OF
all occupations. In this field, as in
others, the public gets the kind OF
work it pays for. The wages Of the
rank and file Of public school teach
ers average less than those of skilled
mechanics.
AS long as the public continues to
pay for recitation hearing, it will not
get much teaching, for educational
missionaries to work without the or
binary inducements are too few to
supply the demand and will prob
ably continue so until the millen-
nium.-Professor William M. Aber in
Popular Science Monthly.

One Saturday George Ksn.sou, who

mountains near Carissa looking aft

Ely bear. When first seen, the bear

II, fired a shot from his pistol into its
back, and while passing threw his
lasso over its neck and then straight
ened out the rope. The horse was
greatly frightened and took good care
to keep the rope taut, but it was a
long distance fight, as there was
about 80 feet Of rope between the
bear and the horse.
Kenison kept his horse under per-
feet control. When the bear would
clutch the RATA, he maneuvered with
the horse so as to break the bears
hold. He circled around and around
with good horsemanship and perfect
GOODNESS, all the time keeping the
rope tight around the bears neck,

death. j. E. Hunter, who handles
the herds for the cattle department,
saw the struggle from n distance and
put his horse to its speed in order to

had conquered it single handed. The

SHosHoNE, IDAHO, Aug. IA, '93.
KETcHuM KEYSTONE Local AS
sembly, No. 1910, K. of L., of Sho-
shone, Idaho, in regular meeting
unanimously adopted the following
resolutions, and ordered copies sent
to the reform press of the state:
Resolved, That as an industrial
proposition the silver question ap-
peals with peculiar force to all
America, inasmuch as six states and
three territories, comprising one
third of the area of the United
States, are largely dependent upon
mining and the industries allied to
it for their prosperity; that in ad-
dition to this, vast transcontinental
railway and transportation interests
are dependent upon vigorous prose-
cution of mining in these states
and territories, and the country
cannot afford to see that industry
destroyed.
Resolved, That it is the duty of
the senators and representatives of
Idaho, in the matter of silver as III
other matters, to regard the will
and interests of their constituents
and Of the people, rather than the
wishes of the party leaders and the
president, and that these represen-
tatives of this state should so serve
the public, regardless of patronage
or party advantage.
Resolved, That as silver is the
money of the Constitution, and its
rehabilitation has steadily been OPP
posed by the money-loaning class,
therefore the time for trifling has
passed. and we call upon our rep
resentatives in Congress to work
and vote for the free and unlimited
coinage of silver at ratio of l6 to
l Of gold, WITHOUT COMPROMISE OF
ANY KIND.
Resolved, That a copy of these
resolutions be forwarded to each of
our representatives in Congress,
and copies sent to the reform press
of the state

The Press Association.

Logan County Review.
To adopt the hackneyed phrase
and say that the members of the
press and their families were "roy-
ally entertained" by the whole
souled, generous people of Ketchum
would be un republican, un-demo-
cratic and uu-American, but to say
that they were entertained in a true
old-fashioned American style would
be truthful, though it would not
fully express the full measure OF
the hospitality the press received at
the hands of the people of ketchum.
We hope soon to see their stricken
industry restored, their empty
houses tenanted, their idle miners
employed, their now cold furnaces
at red heat, pouring forth shining
streams of the white metal, and the
prosperity it once enjoyed, before
the gold barons destroyed its chief
industry, restored; ana that will
undoubtedly be done, if the efforts
of the silver delegates and members
of the press who gathered there this
week would secure that consumma-
ton

Hon. g. Y. Bryan Asks the Reason.

The New York Sun says that at
the Silver Committee meeting at the
Hoffman House, Tuesday evening,
Hon. G. V. Bryan in speech made
the following query: There is
just one point l want to talk about.
l don't know why the gold men are
gentlemen and the silver men are
lunatics. There is more money in
the country invested in the silver
mines and silver mining than there
is in gold mines and gold mining.
Why is it that gold miner is a
gentleman and silver miner lu-
natic. The system they employ to
get the metal is the same. don't
see why, because I have an interest
in a silver mine, am silver baron
and q lunatic, and the fellow who
lives next door to me and owns a
gold mine is gentleman and a
scholar"
