OUR EXCHANGES.

One of the pleasantest features of ex-
change-reading in these days is to note
how fully the prevailing tone of harmony
and mutual encouragement throughout
the State is focused and radiated by the
press. Here and there indeed is to be
found paper that continues to jeer at
other localities with flippancy or bitterness,
as the case may be, but as rule the whole
tone of the journalism of the State is dis
tinctly friendly to every enterprise, no
matter in what locality it may be started.
A good example of this is found in
recent issue of the Selma Enterprise, which,
in commenting on the course of the San
Joaquin railroad, does not content itself
with praising its own county of Fresno and
its own great valley, but gives ample credit
to the energy and the claims of Santa
Clara Valley, and says:
''No reasonable person doubts that San
Jose will get benefit from the road. San
Jose is progressive, is blessed with active
and energetic citizens, who believe in i'm
provement, in going forward and not back
ward, in continued improvement. San
Jose is able, for this reason, to command
the respectful attention of any enterprise"
These are right words, rightly spoken at
the right time, and. we may add, in the
right place. So long as this spirit of help
ing all sections of California prevails in
every section. the State is bound to go for
ward. We are rapidly engendering true
State patriotism, and such papers as the
Enterprise are doing great deal to make
it the vital force of every California COM
munity.
In an able and telling editorial urging
the people of that city to act promptly in
raising the bonus for the San Joaquin road
the Stockton Independent says: "There is
complaint that some who are to be bene-
flied most by the new railroad will give
nothing. That should not operate to pre-
vent others doing SO. No intelligent per-
son will refuse to enter an enterprise by
which he will be profted because some
churl will gain without contributing to
that enterprise" No one can gainsay the
accuracy of this tersely stated truth. Man
in his folly hesitates to hang the churl and
the silurian, and therefore progressive men
can only go forward and ignore them.
Fortunately, life has it's compensations,
and in the long run the progressive man
never fails to get his reward. Spite doesn't
pay, but liberality does.
In the general approva given by promi-
nent business men and influential journals
to the plan of the CALL for securing pledges
of business to the competing road, it was
naturally to be expected there would be

The most sanguine, cheerful, hopeful
and optimistic journal of the day is the
Alturas Herald; and as evidence thereof
nothing more is needed than the citation
of the recent statement to its readers:
Incorporate the town and then we will
not be bothered with disreputable char
acters." If only communities could get
rid of disreputable characters by incorpora-
ton, what crossroads hamlet would exist
without charter? If there is any posi-
bility of the experiment in this case reaiiz-
ing the prediction of the Herald the good
people of the community should change the
name little and incorporate as Altruria.

Commenting upon a recent editorial in
the CALL directing attention to the i'm
portance and the value of railroad from
San Francisco to Eureka, where it would
eventually form a connection with the
Great Northern and thus open a continu-
Gus route to st. Paul and the East, the
Head sburg Enterprise very justly says:
Though there is no prospect of building
the road Immediately, the matter should
be agitated and discussed that all the facts
concerning the proposed route may be
elected" Such discussions are, in fact
about the most beneficial that newspapers
can engage in. They serve to keep enter
prises in the public mind, and as men can
never think of anything every day without
some day trying to undertake it, the dis
cussions are sure to end in work, even
though they appear for long time to be
only idle talk. There are a great many
openings for the investment of capital in
California that ought to be better known,
and, as our Healdsburg contemporary says
now is the time to discuss them in order
that the facts may be elected.

The interest in home industries aroused
by the meeting of the Manufacturers Con-
vention in this City should not be permit
ted to die out, and it is satisfactory to note,
therefore, that the Herald of Trade contin-
ues to iterate the pleas and the arguments
for home market for local goods. livery
truly says: "The retail dealer who is send
ing his orders East should consider that
every dollar so paid out is in a percentage
at least totally lost to himself. 1t never
gets back into his till. But if he buys an
order from the local manufacturer, that
money goes to the employee, who pays the
same dollars over his counter for other
goods" This is one of the most important
truths OF the business, for the retail mer-
chant practically holds the key to the sit
uation. Consumers as rule look around
them to see what they wish, and if the
merchants of the State would display Cali
fornia goods conspicuously in their win
dows and on their counters and shelves,
they would build up trade for home
articles that would keep in California
thousands of dollars that now go East.

opposition somewhere, but we confess to
feeling of surprise that the Tulare Register
should declare the proposed pledges to be
superf1uous and premature. Superfuous
they are not, for capitalists are not going
to put large sums of money into great
enterprise unless they can see an assur-
ance of business ahead of it, nor are they
premature, for this is exactly the time
when such pledges will be of most value
and have the most weight. 1t Is a curious
statement of the Register that lit might be
awkward to have such pledges out and the
coming of the road long delayed by unfore-
seen contingencies. This seems to imply
fear that the Southern Pacific may dis
criminate against men who give the
pledges. Such fear, however, is foolish,
for the pledges may be given confdentially;
and as for the suggested delay of the road
by unforeseen contingencies" that is out
of the question. The road will be con-
structed all right and the more business
pledged to it, the more quickly will the
construction 60 forward.
