Portland OregOnida: If the Geary Act
shall be declared constitutional and the
deportation of the Chinese be decided
upon, the question of expense might be
settled by making arrangements with the
coffee planters OF Brazil to take them of
our hands. Labor for the plantations in
that disturbed and immature republic is
i'll great demand.
Oroville Neic Era: Up to date the fruit
outlook in the State is better than the
grain outlook. So far as can be judged at
the present stage there will be full yield
everywhere. The single exception in the
report is the apricot crop. This will be
light, and in some sections q failure. but
the total of orchard products will ilmost
certainly be above that of any year yet
known.
Stockton Independent: Eckels, the new
Comptroller of the Currency, made
speech Wednesday night on the duty of
national banks to sustain the gold re-
serve. 1t sounded like the cry from
Macedonia for help. and serves to show
that Secretary Carlisle is in very tick
lish position. The Democrats knew all
about how to manage the finances when
they were not in control. Now that they
have complete possession they show an
utter inability to apply their boasted
knowledge TO practice.
The editor of tine Ontario Record says:
Newspapers get more or less credit for
what they say, but they often deserve
more for what they don't say. A man
may well think twice over what he SAYS
about the conduct of other people; but
when he has the power To put his re-
marks in type and send them out, back ed
by the prestige and authority OF a news
paper, he ought to think three or four
times. In other words, adopt Davy
Crockett's motto, BE sure you're right
then go ahead
Red Bluff News: The thousands of
sheep in this county have just about
given up their winter suits to their own
ers, and in consequence Red Bluff has
been lively for few days by the appear
ance of number of sheep shearers, who
have been enjoying the semi-annual good
times. No troubles to speak of have
taken place, and many dollars have found
their way to the tills of merchants and
saloon keepers, The wool crop is not
going to be a heavy one, but il will be
good, and in this respect will perhaps
make up for the loss in weight.
Visalia Delta: At Ontario, lin the south
ern part of this State, between 800 and
400 acres heretofore occupied by citrus
fruit trees has been planted to deciduous
fruit trees this season. This change is
probably due to the unsuitability of the
soil and climate for citrus fruits. In Tu-
lare County the acreage of citrus fruit
trees is increasing rapidly, there being a
large area here in every way suited to the
growth of oranges, lemons and lines.
The enterprisng horticulturst may find
in Tulare County an abundance of the
finest citrus lands at reasonable figures.
Seattle HttelHgeAcer: The Springfield
Republican says: The Government NAV
put dollar stamp on sixty-iive cents
worth of silver and make it legal ten
der, but all the power of the Government
and all the patriotism on earth cannot in
duce holder of that silver piece to act as
though it were worth dollar when the
Government refuses TO redeem it for q
dollar; or holder of gold dollar, actu-
ally worth 100 cents, to act as if il was no
better than the silver piece and hand it
over to the Government in exchange for
notes redeemable only in the latter"
This is exactly what Tallyrand told the
French Republican Assembly when they
issued their flood of assignats and under
took to maintain their value by threaten
ing Imprisonment in chains, and even
death, to those who discredited them.
Visalie Times: An exchange. among
other things, gives, the following advice
about how to boom town: Give the
railroads what facilities they need. and
put your shoulder to the wheel; every
city must depend on her manufactories
for her future growth and prosperity: Of
fer attractions, improve the suburbs:
don't discourage railroads: ENCOURAGE
financial, commercial and industrial in
terests; have good word to say for your
neighbors, for when helping them Won
are helping yourself" The above is
splendid advice, and is peculiarly an
plicable to Visalia at the present time
The Improvement Association to be or
ganized will furnish wheel for every
mans shoulder in Visalia, and everybody
should be there to push. viii YOU come
or will you stand back and say that it is
the duty of your tneighbor to attend to
such matters?
Oakland Enquirer: Urged to do so hv
the Board of Health it is probable the
City Council will SOON make some kind
OF contract for the garbage cfematory-
ana thus answer the question which has
been asked ana left unsolved by so many
City Councils, viz: What shall we do
with the city dumps? A satisfactory dis
position OF this question would rebound
to the credit OF the present administra-
tlOn, and therefore all the more care
should be taken to see to it that the solu-
ton adopted is the right one. Two gem
SIdA PAduS III I6SAEu 10 crematOrV are
presented. One is that the city should
buy furnace and operate it, leaving the
collection of the refuse to be made by pri-
vate parties as at present. The other ia
the Los Angeles plan, which is now pre-
sented to the City Council by one of the
firm which has the contract in that CITY
According to this plan the city does not
buy the furnace, but merely gives an an
nual contract for the collection as well as
the burning of the garbage to a corpora
ton which erects the necessary furnace
In Los Angeles the cost of such con-
tract has ranged all the way from SI2. 500
to $1,000 year, and no doubt the coliec-
ton OF the refuse and garbage is more
thoroughly and Systematically done than
when 1t IS left to the property-owners and
the private owners OF garbage carts. But
before the furnace plan is finally decided
on IN any shape or form. it might be we'll
to inquire whether the garbage dutnps
could not be sufficiently deodorized and
burned with .quicklime, at very small
cost. SO good a chemist as Professor
