VOICE OF THE PRESS.
Expressions of Various Kinds From

LTulare Register.
About six times a week every Demo-
cratic journal in California that we get to
see asserts with warmth and vigor that
Mr.. Budd discusses local issues. AS
nearly as we can gather his discussion
consists in 'glittering generalities"-
promises with a big l OF what he Will DO
when he gets to Sacramento, yet we have
never seen in print q single clearly de-
fined plan proposed by Mr.. Budd for
abolishing or abating one evil or abuse.
He failed TO propose or explain the out
lines OF any such plan in Tulare. The
mere assertion that Il am going" to do
this or that is not sufficient. Ii is not
discussion. Mr.. Budd has not been max
ing public addresses as a rule and as
matter of fact the general public knows
very little about him.
EsTEE's SPEECHES.
alameda Encinal.I
A gentleman III San Francisco sent
some newspapers containing Estee's
speeches to some of his friends down in
Maine, to show how the Republican
leader is fighting the campaign in this
State. The papers were evidently per-
used very carefully, for the sender in due
time received a letter to the effect that
Mr.. Estee is making better campaign
than any other Republican leader not eX-
cepting Mckinley or Reed. And it has
seemed 10 us for long time that he is
doing excellently we'll. He is placing
the abundant material that is available
before the people in the most telling way.
he is conquering respect and esteem,
gaining votes and not making mistake.
FAIR PLAY.
[Visalia Delta.l
In long editorial the Times charges
Governor Markham for the heavy State
expenditures during the present biennial
period, when it knows that the appro-
priations originated in the Democratic
lower House of the Legislature. 1t
claims that the expense was So, $50, 4Sl,
but does not tell its readers that, although
the Democrats had forty five-cent limit
in their platform (as they nave now, but
for the exercise Of the veto power by
Governor Markham the unpruned appro-
priation bill as prepared by the Demo-
cratic Assembly would have increased
the sum to So, 5,G00, 900. Democratic econ
omy" makes poor theme for a straight
argument.
WILLIAM BECKMAN.
LSt Helena Starl
William Beckman or Sacramento, Re-
publican nominee for Railroad Commits
sioner of the Third District, presents his
card in to-day's Star. Mr.. Beckma is a
pioneer of California, having cast his first
vote for President III olo County in 1852.
During his first few years in the State he
followed the occupation of mining in
Trinity County, and after that engaged
in farming in Sacramento County. In
the year 1879 he organized the Peoples
Savings Bank in Sacramento and has
been its President ever since that time
He has served his county in the capacity
of Supervisor several terms and is one OF
the solid business men OF Sacramento.
-Four years ago he was elected Railroad
Commissioner of this district by more
a. a
crat. He is an honest, liberal and broad
minded man, and the many hattering
comments OF his public career by the
press leads us to believe his candidacy
for reelection is meeting with general
favor.
VALUE OF LABOR.
The Mail of Woodland.1
Until youth is taught more vigorously
that there is no existence without labor:
until frugality Is not trowned upon as
parsimOny; until industry is esteemed a
mark of honor, and idleness a disgrace
there will be no reason to hope improve
ment in home life and good citizenship.
CULTIVATING HABIT.
Tacoma Ledgerl
To made the men who work hate the
men who pay them was the supreme
effort OF the Democratic party in the cam
paign of 1892. They found their most re-
sponsive listeners in the foreign element
OF our population. Among men who
have the true American spirit such hate
rarely exists. 1t is the poison or mon
archlcal politics remaining in the blood
of thousands who come to this country,
not to enjoy popular liberty so much as
TO get more money than they could earn
at home. To many of this class govern
ment Is simply organized robbery. The
Democrats succeeded by arousing black
