Expressions From Newspapers of In
terror alitoruia.
Vallejo Chronicle: To-day will be re-
membered as the day the Duke Of MARI
borough marries somewhere from $40.
coo. 90 to SIC. 100000 in New York City,
and Miss Consuelo Vanderbilt and her
friends We're at the wedding.
ONE COED EFFECT.
San Diego Union: Whether or not San
Francisco succeeds in obtaining the Re
publican National Convention, the eff
forts that are now being made to attain
this end cannot fail to have wholesome
effect. upon the entire State. This is one
of the few occasions in recent years
when all California has united for an
object in which the people in every part
of the State take an interest, although
primarily the end to be attained is for
the bene fit of but one locality. If the eff
forts to secure the convention do no
more than to teach Californians the adj
vantage of pulling together, they will
not have been wholly in vain, even
though the convention goes elsewhere.
THE DINNER PAIL DID IT.
Stockton Independent: Local causes
operated to produce the results in some
Of the elections, but the great land
slide was caused by the vicious tariff
legislation of the last Congress and the
still more vicious attitude of the Ad-
ministration on the subject. The pre-
tended tariff reformers theOrize we'll,
but the man who has been out Of en-
ployment much or most of the time
since the passage of the patchwork tar
if bill reasons from facts. The fact that
his dinner pail has fallen into ''innocu-
Gus desuetude" since the tax" on it was
l.
ton of the tax, and the filling of the
pail and the employment that caused
dinner-pails to be in demand. Fine
spun theories do not fill an empty pOck-
ct, an empty dinner-pail or an empty
stomach.
A DEMOCRATIC VIEW.
Fresno EXpOsitor: There is nothing
in the results yesterday that will make
the duty of the Democratic party to
the people any less clear than it has
been for the last twelve years, or that
will tend to show that its course should
be different from what it has been, or
that its principles need revision on any
issue now before the people
The Democratic party will still main
tain that all taxation must be for pub
liz purposes and limited to the needs of
an economical administration of the
Government, and that all forms of mon
ey issued by the Government must be
equal in value, around the world, dollar
for dollar.
SENSIBLE MEN.
Bakersfield Californian: The threat
ened strike of the A L. on the Great
Northern road failed to come off as
promised. The men evidently know on
what side their bread is buttered and
refuse to give up their situations at the
commencement Of the winter season at
the behest of a lot of jaw smiths who
have nothing at stake, and simply de-
sire to show their authority by ordering
a strike.
WOULD BE JUST IF LEGAL
San Jose Mercury: If Police Judge
Low of San Francisco does his duty he
Will cause the arrest Of twelve jurymen
for perjury. A dealer who was tried on
charge of selling game in violation of
the game law admitted that he sold the
game, and the court instructed the jury
that the law is plain and must stand
until declared invalid by the Supreme
Court. Yet the jury returned a verdict
Of not guilty. It is such violation of
their oaths as jUrymen that make il so
difficult to enforce the game laws Were
an example made Of these men, hence
forth there would be a greater respect
for the law.
WHILE WE TRAMP
Tulare Register: Electricity has
found another use. 1t has been set &c
smelling iron, and it does its work
promptly. cheaply and well. Up a.
Portland a chunk of pig. iron has been
exhibited which was smelted out Of
black sand by electricity in twenty min.
utes. Tie world is said to be floating
ia electricity. and there are those wh0
say that Cod is himself electricity, SO
Of electricity giving out. When coal is
taken out of the ground there is just SO
much less of i left a part of our cap

tr.city il merely passes through our
conductors and h9x< into the original

electricity as ever The supply can
never be exhausted, and so far the
world is only using the little sprays Of
electric power which fringe that great
ocean Of electric power lying beyond.

O ANNA O ANNA
Stockton Mail: one OF the strangest
results of yesterdays State elections is
the defeat of female suffrage in Massa-
! chusetts. The women in that dear old
commonwealth were not asking for
very much Their fight was only for the
privilege Of voting in municipal affairs,
and yet the wires sing to us this morn
ing from the Hub Of the Universe that
there were three votes cast against ii
in Massachusetts yesterday to one in its
favor. Hardly = town that voted shows
a majority in favor of the proposition to
grant suffrage to women in municipal
affairs. Saddest of all is the melancholy
message that the hopes of the friends
of female suffrage now lie buried be-
meath an avalanche of votes.
@ Miss Anna Shaw, O reverend spin
stert Why is this thus? What is the
meaning of this political disaster to
your sex? What is the matter with your
native State of Massachusetts,? Califor-
MIA is asked to invest woman with the
suffrage without any restrictions what
ever. but Cape Cod folk deny her even
he privilege of voting for Pound
master
HYSTERIA AND REFORMER.
Tulare Register: This brings us to
the consideration OF hysteria as an in
strument for reforming the world Does
it pay? We know that it IS conducive
to a temporary popularity. but does ii
really advance the causes for which we
work? For fourteen years this valley
has ranted about rates. but such reduc-
tions Of freight rates as have been made
were not made because of this ranting.
The Register. by gathering accurate
! information and patient correspond
cree, a year ago. secured reductions in
wheat rates which save to the farmers
of Fresno, Tulare and Kings Counties
| enough in freightS TO purchase their
sacks. and when did the making OF
faces at the Southern Pacific and the
hysterical calling of names accomplish
! so much?
