the Pacific.

mental frowns.
DO YOU REFER TO SACRAMENTO?
Oakland Times
If there be bad or obnoxious laws on
the statute books, their enforcement is
An officer whose duty it is to enforce the
laws should do so in every instance.
BUY AT HOME.
Santa Barbara Press.
1t doesn't take long to reason it out that
the town that goes off to trade will be
poor. The nation that stops it's own
mills and buys from a foreign country
will be poor.
SAVE a DOLLAR.
iSanta Ana Blade.l
The young man who starts out in life
by saving 81 week, or even less, and in
creases the amount as rapidly as possib BILE
W ithout denying himself the substantial
comforts OF lite will soon have acquired

poverty. 1t is the spendthriit who lives
and dies poor.
POOR POLICY.
[Santa Rosa Republican.
With California people generally it is a
continual contribution 10 the prosperity
of some other State or country. We send
abroad for nearly all the necessities and
luxuries made use of here and wonder
why we 90 not as a people grow rich
more rapidly.
PUT 1T UP AT HOME.
San Jose Herald.l
In manufacturing our fruit into fancy
forms for the markets of the world we
shall not only be keeping the profits Of
such manufacture for ourselves, but we
OF transportation. We could therefore
afford to sell cheaper than our foreign
competitors, and thus soon obtain conf
mand OF the market.
OUR GOLD MINES.
lOroville Mercury.l
Signs of the times indicate that an un-
precedented era Of prosperity is about to
dawn on the gold mining industry in
California. The capitalists of the East. as
well as those of England and Continental
Europe, are turning their eyes toward
California mines and are looking for in
vestments in our mining properties.
SALLY IN OUR ALLEY.
Vallejo Chronicle.l
The Manufacturers and Producers
Association Is making strong and iaud-
able effort to further the cause of homo
industries by appealing to the State and
local authorities 10 obtain their supplies
from California manufacturers and pro-
ducers.
USE A MICROSCOPE.
Bakersfield Californian.
If there is any general movement on
the part Of California manufacturers to
call the attention of the public to the
merits of their wares through the adver-
tising columns of the press, we have
failed to discover it after diligent search.
MAY PICK THE FRUIT AGAIN.
san Diego Union.
It would not be strange if some of the
capitalists Tho lost on Cuban bonds years
ago were willing to purchase new ones
now, and take chances of getting back
their money, and also making a hand
some profit.
RAW MATERIAL AND LABOR.
Oroville Registerl
Why cannot the waste raw materials
and the idle labor be brought together?
There is plenty of unused land and water
is not dear IN most localities. More land
should be cultivated, more waste mate
rial saved, more idle people should be
employed. We saw yesterday great
quantities of black figs rotting on the
ground. The idle man can make some
thing by watching his opportunity and
utilizing resources that are now valueless
to any one.
NO DIVISION.
Humboldt Standard.
The demand for public funds to be
used by the church schools of any de-
nomination should be resisted at every
point and everywhere. Pupils can be
taught good morals and good manners in
the pub blic schools, and if parents wish to
give them religious training let them do
it home, in the churches and Sunday:
schools, aud, if more religious instruc-
ton is needed, let them provide it by es
and maintaining parochial
schools OF their own faith with their own
means.
PRECISELY TRUE.
Berkeley Dispatch
Those towns that sit still and wait for
some one to come along and discover
their needs will not attract homeseekers
nor business.
GOOD EXAMPLE
Fresno Republican,
The fruit-growers of Santa Clara County
are setting a laudable example of enter
prise by sending an exhibit car of fruit
the Eastern States. 1t will no
doubt open the eyes of thousands of peo-
pie to The superiority of the California
product.
NICHOLSON REVIVAL.
Stockton Mail.l
Those who are interested in the solu-
ton of the paving problem in American
cities may find some enlightenment in q
pamphlet published by George w. Bell,
an American. who has been watching
how operations are carried on in this line
in Australia. The city of Sydney, he
finds, has fifteen miles of wood paving,
the merits of which have been thoroughly
and successfully tested. The streets on
which the paving was laid were those
upon which the heaviest traffic is con-
Quoted. The best methods of laying it
have been carefully studied. The wood
is not slippery like asphalt. 1t is easy to
keep clean, is noiseless and does not re-
fleet the heat. 1t is laid on solid founda-
ton of concrete. Most Of its merit, MIR.
Bell believes, lies in the character of the
Australian woods, which are hard, tough
and non-porous. These qualities enable
them TO resist both decay and friction.
The best of them are the blue gum. red
gum, black butt, tallow wood and ma
hogany.
