THIS he makes no allowance for the diff
ierent circumstances that have governed
here-the greater need of the State for the
construction of public institutions and
the impossibility Of maintaining them on
as low scale of expenses as those of
Eastern States. But conceding, after all
allowances, that our State expenses are
too great, it does not decently lie within
the province of the Democratic candidates
TO make campaign issue of it against
their opponents. The history of the
profligate rule of Democratic bosses in
the Legislature is too fresh to admit of the
people being gulled by the attempt.
WHICH?
[Wheatland Four Corners.
Does an honest, hard-working poor
man want to borrow money! Mike. All
he wants is a good chance to earn and
save money? Does a speculator want to
borrow money at cheap rate of interest !?
Yep; for he won't need to work. Whom
will the Populists benefit by having the
Government make and loan money at a
cheap rate OF interest, the honest, hard
working poor man, or tho speculator
Guess.
DISAPPOINTED AND DIsGRUNTLED.

1t is impossible for the California Pop
ulist To point with pride to the works of
power. The fact is, and they know it,
that most Of their leaders, from General
weaver down, are the disappointed and
dlSgruntled worn out aspirants for Office
IN the old parties. And they, too, know
just as well that every law-defying an
archlst In the land will vote their ticket,
because 1t best represents his ideas of
government, or no government.
WITH RESIGNATION.
Stockton independently
President Cleveland views the nomina-
ton of Hill with resignation that is quite
IN contrast with the enthusiasm OF the
convention. He says the delegates prob
ably knew best what to do under the cir
cumstances. His resignation is but
natural, considering the negative praise
OF him by Hill.
AN ORIGINAL FAKE.
Unknown.
Calaveras County doesn't propose to be
behind in announcing novelties, and fur
nlshes IN the Starlight mine. between
Old Gulch and FL Dorado, a wonderful
tale of discovery. Near the bottom OF a
l25-foot shalt has been struck seam of
porphyry which supplies strong stream
OF water highly colored, being nearly as
yellow as gold and plainly holds consid-
cradle OF that precious metal in solution.
1t is ice cold and very palatable. Several
formerly in the habit Of getting full of
whisky at every opportunity, but since
drinking freely of this water they have
no desire for liquor of any kind and are
truly as completely cured of the liquor
habit as though they had taken a course
OF treatment at the gold cure.".
ONIONS.
Stockton NALL
1t will surprise people to be told that
not enough onions are raised in this
country for home consumption, So far
this year 1000 large bags of onions were
imported from Egypt, 1900 from Ha :.
Vana, III 900 from bermuda and a large
quantity from Spain. Onions generally
bring good price, and if our California
farmers do not take hint from the above
ngures they will neglect profitable op-
portunity.
KILL 1T DEAD"
LWnlows Journal
Every voter in Glenn County should
remember that Amendment No. s, which
will be voted upon at the election on Tues
day, Novembe Der 9th, is proposition that
should be killed very dead. 1t proposes
TO increase the number Of the members of
the State Board Of Equalization from five
to seven, and is designed To give the larger
cities, especially San Francisco, more In
Huence on the board, enabling them to
State taxes. 1t would also have the effect
OF increasing the cost OF the board con-
siderably more than $4,000 per annum.
1t should not receive an affirmative vote
in Glenn County.
BOSS AND BOSSES.
lColusa SUM-
1t has been said that man who had
ANYTHING else to do would never under
take to learn the Chinese language, but
"Chineer isn't sin it' when il comes to
San Francisco politics. One thing ap-
pears as certain: BOSS" always means
the other fellow, the leader of the opposi-
ton. The good old lady who believes in
special acts of providence. calls her own
misfortunes trials. those OF her height bors
judgments, and someone has defined
orthodoxy as nay doxy and heterodoxy
as your doxy. These definition illustrate
precisely the term "boss'' as applied to
San Francisco politics. DIR. ODonnell
seems to be the only man who is his own
boss, but one in the high school depart
ment of metropolitan politics might dis
cover boss even there.
