San Jose Mercury: The Sacramento
Record Union is loudly calling for the
appointment of a Food Inspector. 1t
tlUthfully says that the people have the
right to know that the COWS from which
the milk they use is drawn are in sound
| health; that the men who handle them
are clean-handed; that the dairy vessels
are properly cleaned and not made
breeding pots for diseased germs, and
that their market food is pure and prop
erly protected from contamination.
Santa Clara County and the city of San
Jose have appointed an officer to ex-
anime into all these things, and every
county and every city in California
should follow their example.
IVE-GROWING
Anderson Valley News: Instead of
continuing in planting principally de-
ciduous fruit. try and plant olives, forty
or fifty feet apart, with grapes or stone
| fruit between them. The olive, properly
| planted and cared for, will grow as
| fast as any other tree. This will insure
you an everlasting investment of the
highest order, without interfering in any
way with the production Of other fruit.
| in the culture of the olive and wine
grape. Both oil and wine are standard
market articles the world over, and the
whole area of this State, as far as it is
suitable for their production, will never
raise enough to satisfy the demand, not
to say to glut the market.
COMING OF THE CLANS.
Los Angeles Herald: That the gath
er;ng of the clans of Republicanism Oh
the western rim of the great republic
will bring hither thousands of men
who are potent forces in the political,
commercial, industrial and financial
activities of the country is unques-
toned.
That it is to such people we desire to
make evident the advantages, resources
and wants of the Golden State is con-
ceded
That if the convention comes to San
Francisco the majority of those who at
tend will see the best parts OF the State
before returning, nobody doubts.
That this latter proposition includes
Southern California everybody will ad-
nit.
RAISIN GRAPES.
Riverside Press: A B. Butler, the
well-known raisin man and Demo-
cratic politician, is earnestly engaged
in proving to his party leaders in power
the fact that the So-called Zante cur
rant is variety of raisin made from a
small grape, a fact so we'll known in
these parts as to make the absurd con-
tention laughable, if the construction
made by the importers was not likely to
seriously affect the American raisin-
growers interests.
A FREE PORT.
Oakland Times: The effort being
made by the merchants of San Fran
cisco to reduce the expense incident to
ships arriving at that port can result
only in advantage to the city, to the
whole State, and to commerce. Tie
proposition is SO evident that the
spokesman of the Board of Harbor
Commissioners has expressed himself
as favorable to the reduction in port
charges. He does not rise to the hight
CT advocating the suggestion made to
abolish the board and delegate the con-
troll Of the affairs of the harbOr and
water front to the Federal Government,
nor does that seem to be the remedy II +
existing evils. The objection made "
the board as constituted and created
is that it is political in character, but
it does not appear how taking the ap>
pointing power away from the State
Executive and placing it elsewhere
would change the result, generally
speaking.
THE MONOPOLY OF GOLD.
Los Angeles Express: It is very evil
dent that the real motives which actu-
ate Great Britain in her schemes to ac-
quire territory in Venezuela and Alaska
by fair means or foul, is the desire 10
control as far as possible the-butput OF
gold in the world. If English capital,
lists, supported by English arms. can
control the gold fields of the world out
side of the United States, and in this
country a gold policy can be forced upon
the people, it is clear that England can
afford to lose much of her present for
eign trade and yet remain one of the
great powers.
English farming has been crushed
out, and now English manufactures are
following the same route; but if Eng
land could continpue to do the carrying
trade and banking of the world, she is
still its mistress. She knows that, and
therefore she is preparing herself to
continue in that position. The first re-
Quisite is, of course to control The
source of supply from which the only
money that it is proposed to recognize is
derived. To-day England is mistress Of
Australia, of South Africa, and of mir
ing regions in other sections, and she is
trying to secure more of this valuable
class of territory. She is not to blame
On the contrary she shows far more
wisdom than the people Of this country.

WHY IT WAS AS IT WAS.
Colusa Sun: And now it becomes in
cCr1bent on every mothers son of an
editor to tell why the elections in the
East went as they did The old chest
nut, accounting for the vote because
the men voted that way, has not vet
been laid before suffering public The
free silver men say that the people
voted for the Republicans because
Cleveland was a gold bug, and this in
the face of the fact that in Kentucky.
a strong Democratic State. the candi-
date for Governor was a pronounced
free silver man and the further fact
that in district in Illinois and in one
in Missouri, where vacancies occurred
in Congress, the Democratic candidates
We're both free silver and were both
badly beaten and Notwithstanding the
further fact that the Republicans were
everywhere against free silver If there
fore the silver question cut any figure
at all. we may say that the Democrats
were defeated because too much tainted
With that doctrine. The truth is that the
panic began to come on Just before
Harrison went out and he was retired
because of it more than for anything
else. Prosperity came on too slow to
save the Democrats from the same fate
and for the same reasons. The men who
changed in either case did not change
their ideas of principles that divide the
parties; those ideas must be fought out
in calmer times. These elections are no
index of how the people stand on these
issues. 1t Is, however, an Indication on
