the treadmill.-Lakeport Avalanche.
We feel like suggesting to those who are try
ing to organize party of the future" that
the country will be better off with the party of
the present, the Republican, in full charge OF
its affairs. We have had the party OF the past
in charge for two or three years.-Riyerside
Press.
Call it jingoism or what you will, the party
that commits itself to raising the United States
flag, by purchase or by conquest as may be

Costa News.

10 take part III the ClYll w ar on the Union
side was 2,772 ,408; the Confederates enlisted
over 100000. Suppose, like Europe, I'VE were
forced to keep up this condition of armed force,
the value of peace with all the world would

districts must possess themselves in patience,
even if the strain on them Is great and dis
astrous as well.-Hanford Journal.
In times past there have been some unfortu-

time for such short-sightedness is past. new
era OF good-fellowship is at hand, and no effort
should be omitted to develop and promote this

1t was not the intention TO tax only the Zante
eurrants grown on the island OF that name, but
Zante currants wherever grown and from
whatever port they might be shipped to this
country. If the decision of the New York APP
praisers is permitted to stand the raisin indus
try of this State will receive a blow from which
it will hardly be able to recover. 1t is to be
hoped that Senators Perkins and White, who
