Expressions From the Newspapers OF
Interior California.
Stockton Independent: Those who
| fear that the fruit business in Cali
! foria is in danger of being overcome
must imagine that the whole country
will stand still. The increase IN fruit
| raising will not more than keep pace
with the increase of population, while
the consumption of fruit per capita is
| increasing every year. California is not
dependent on fruit culture alone. Every
year brings the California farmer new
crops to cultivate and new ideas on
! farming. They are slow to ADOPT
either but they do adopt them finally
and adapt themselves TO the changes
| time brings about There is every
prospect that the next few years will
make the creamery and the cheese fac
| tory nearly as common in this vicinity
as it is in the older States and that Call
fornia will use very little of Eastern
| butter, cheese, poultry, eggs, nam,
/ bacon or lard.
| PARSIMONIOUS DIPLOMACY.
| Los Angeles Herald: One of the best
of the many excellent suggestions made
by President Cleveland in his message
/ is the one relating to the maintenance
of residences of our Ministers and AM
| bassadors abroad. As the President
says, the usefulness of nation
diplomatic representatives undenlaply
depends much upon the appropriateness
of his surroundings, and a country ike
ours, while avoiding unnecessary glt-
ter and show. should be certain that 1t
does not suffer in its relations with
foreign nations through parsimony and
| shabbinesS in it's diplomatic OUTFIT.
The decent housing of our Ministers
and ambassadors is matter OF far
more practical Importance and has a
more intimate relation to the success
full discharge of ministerial duties than
most of the American people seems to
realize.
THE MESSAGE.
| Visalia Delta. The message received
fewer concentrations from public men
and the press than. any previous mes
sage of President Cleveland. Even in
London, where he is the most popular
of American Presidents, majority OF
the daily press express disappointment.
PRESIDENTS MESSAGE.
San Diego Sun: The message of Presi-
| dent Cleveland will be conceded by all
who are not SenSelessly partisan to be
a carefully considered and able state
! document Furthermore it was given
with fearless honesty. A discussion of
the country's foreign relations and ma
tional finances occupy the entire mes
sage. Usage and custom make it almost
| imperative that the President report
| upon the foreign relations. The chief
feature there was his insistance upon
| the Monroe doctrine, and he has left
no doubt as to his attitude on that sub
| ject While on foreign relations he re-
news his advocacy of civil service re-
form, which Mr. Cleveland more than
any other national administrator has
| caused to be put into effect, and urges
that it now be applied to the Consular
| service.
JOINED TO IDOLS.
| Los Angeles Times: If President
Cleveland would agree to approve what
ever measure Congress might see fit to
adopt for the amelioration of the finan-
cial situation, the "predicament" of
which he complains so ENORMOUSLY could
be remedied in short order But Mr..
Cleveland is joined to his idols, and his
approval of any measure originating in
| a Republican Congress cannot be ex-
pected.
FIRM IN HIS PALACES.
Santa Cruz Sentinel: President Cleve-
! land justifies the prediction that his
message would show that his views on
public questions have undergone no
change. The message is full of the same
| old fal1acies that have constituted the
warp and wool of all his state papers.
The President still insists that the pol
icy of protection is injurious to the
business interest of the nation, notwith-
| standing the historical truth that the
prosperity of the nation has always
| been greatest when the protective pol
icy has most prevailed.
GOOD MILK.
/ Oakland ENQUIRER: It is stated that
the raising of the wholesale price of
| milk in San Francisco which has been
denounced by some as being the work
of trust will not affect the retail price,
and so the consumer is deprived of any
| justification for making an objection.
But even If the price to the householder
were to be increased, he could well at
ford to pay a little more and get a
wholesome article than to continue the
use of milk as unfit as some which the
recent analyses show has been retailed
in that city
