PRESS VOICE.
What Some of the Interior Press of
the State Say
About Matters of Public Concern,
General Interest and Local
Prominence.

The Grass Valley Union thinks we are
all to blame for Chinese resistance to the
laws. "If the Chinese had been taught
long ago that the laws of the country are
to be obeyed and its customs respected
there would not now be so much diff
Guilty in putting in force the Registration
Act"
The Red Bluff Ne'oS says there is a
! WINDY well belonging to L. Fish near
| that place that at times eXhales and again
inhales air, and that the curiosity has
! been examined by the State Mineralo-
| glst. The Ne'0S says: 1--WE would sug-
gest that Mr.. Fish procure whistle
which will utilize the full power of the
wind emitted from the well, as he says it
is sure Indicator of a change in weather;
carefully observe the times and cOndi-
| tions under which the whistle shall be
| blown. Should he do so he may give us
a weather clerk which would knock the
Signal Service higher than kite"
The Los Angeles Express has this to
say of orange culture: with increasing
volume of product quality must hence
forth cut more figure in the returns from
orange orchards than ever before. There
| should be no doubt of the future market
for tue best oranges, grown under the
most favorable conditions. But as the
output increases the tendency will be
| downward Tor poor fruit. Rough seed
| lings, grown on wet, cold lands may not
IN the future command as good prices as
they have brought in the past. The larger
the Southern California output of citrus
fruits the more closely will shippers and
consumers discriminate
The Yreka Journal, remarking upon
signs of prosperity there, says: '"There
| seems To hl iDDurnupIrant
lug up OF property in Hreka this spring
than we have noticed for many years
past. Old buildings are be remodeled
into modern style. with new additions
I thereto, while the gardens, out-buildings,
| fences, ETC., are also being renewed and
new residences are to be constructed dur
! ing the coming summer. The improve
lnent seems to be general, not only in
business houses, but also in private resi-
dences, many of the latter having been
fitted up with electric lights"
sThe Bridgeport Chronicle- Union says
it is plain to it that the Capital removal
proceeding is illegal. 1t also says that
the leading opinion is that the Capt.
tai should not be removed. "Now that
the State has invested so many
millions of dollars for the Capitol, it's
grounds and for other public build
! ings, it is considered that it is better to
/ l6I well GllOu8n dlOU6 anu nOU 1OlSt nDOn
the taxpayers OF the State heavy taxes to
! build like editices in San Jose, merely
| because San Joseans would like to have
| the Capital"
| San Bernardino Courier: eff the inter-
ests Of this part of the State show that we
would be greatly benefited by separation,
the question will become one that cannot
be wiped aside by hippant words or
brusque treatment. If our reasons are
good and cannot be answered, the ques-
ton will have friends north as well rs
south, as it now has. The removal of tho
Capital to San Jose will not affect State
division in the least
The Oakland Enquirer says of the new
Oakland government and the liquor api-
tation: ''fn regard to the liquor saloons.
the new Council will be doing well if. for
the present, it closes up the illegal door
connections between groceries and .sa-
looms, refuses to grant licenses in resi-
dence neighborhoods, takes the licenses
! away from diSorderly establishments and
generally resists the pressure of the
whisky influence
! The San Bernardino Times I1sder claims
that the new administration gives no evil
| dence Of intention to upset the tariff law at
any early day, and it points to the silence
of the Democratic press on the subject as
| SlSDlucdnG. Inc pOIlLlClanS nave ceased
to discuss the 'rOhber tariff and are
straining every nerve in pursuit of the
| loaves and fishes. 1t is not now uues-
ton of the dear people, or question OF
| removing the onerous burdens imposed
| by the Mckinley law, but it is a question
| who will draw the fat salaries under the
administration. The men who were in
! the early days of November shouting
! themselves hoarse inveighing against the
robber tariff are now crying out for the
! Ioaves and fishes.'
/ The San Jose Record is becoming dis
gusted with the effort to inaugurate re-
forms there, and says: Somehow or
other the wicked and unprincipled an
! pear TO be possessed of a keener and more
active sense of gratitude for favors done
! than other people do, and are able to keep
their supporters in line, ready to fight for
their causes. They are always vigilant,
and that is why it is so difficult to defeat
! them. On the contrary those who talk
much and pray loud for the regeneration
of the world appear to think that their
smiles of approval are ample acknowl-
/ edgment and encouragement for the men
who are engaged in the fight for honesty
and decency, while they bestow their
material favors on the enemy. The ONLY
/ satisfaction there is TO be got out of fights
/ for decency is the approval of ones own
| conscience: as business proposition it
doesn't pay"
The Fresno Erpositor says: "Men who
think it a positive hardship to patronize
their own home journals will freely paw
| heavily San Francisco paper for lot of
