The chances are that the railroad rates east
of Los Angeles will be reduced. This is as 1t
should be.-Petaluma Courier
This is acknowledged to be a good fruit year.
1t is certainly good grain year, good min
ing year, good railroad year, and good year
for California all ACCOMPLISHMENTS Argus.
Ever since the CALL had the good judgment
to agitate the question of building railroad to
Humboldt County some of the San Francisco
papers have had more or less to say about it,
Blue Lake Advocate.
The work of the Half-million Club of San
Francisco is attracting favorable notice
throughout the State. The organization should
have the hearty support and cooperation OF
all cities OF the interior.-San Jose News.
Wake up citizens, and s'stand in" for I'M
provements. Prosperity will come this way as
soon as we reach out to welcome it. California
is seeing lovely times in many cities. Why
should Eureka not be in it with the rest of
them?-Eureka Sentinel.
Close observers recognize the fact that silver
coinage is question that will not down. 1t is
bound to play an important part in the coming
national campaign and all subsequent cam
paigns until bimeta1lism is firmly established.

The sooner the Railroad Commission is abol-
ished and the people are impressed with the
truth that only by competition can they regu-
late fre1shts and fares, the sooner will COM
petlng lines be constructed and the true solu-
ton OF the problem found.-Placerville Demo-

The bicycle has come te stay, and those who
ride them are beginning to assert rights.
There are many pedestrians and drivers, how
ever, who still labor under the opinion that q
Wheelman's rights are as few as acorns on q
plum tree. There is no reason why a bicyclist
should not be given his share of the road
Eureka Standard
The news was telegraphed broadcast over the
land that President Cleveland few days ago
took the first walk in Washington that he has
taken since his inauguration. The walk that
Grover will take on March 4, 1897, is the one
the people are looking forward to with the
greatest interest.-Ventura Free Press
The dissolution of the insurance combine
ton is "a consummation devoutly to be
wished" whether it comes this week or the
next. Everything in the nature of trust or q
combine is menace 80 the prosperity OF the
community at large, and as the insurance
combine is merely an insurance trust it is a
thing to be avoided.-Los Angeles Record.
In business it is the man with push and grit
who usually gets the place at the head of the
mercantile procession, while in politics it is
the man with q pull and plenty of money who
generally has the most prominent seat in the
band wagon. The conditions, while they
should not be, are evidently widely different
and are likely to remain so.-San Diego Union.
If nations were as ready to fight now as they
were century AGO q war between England
and France might be confidently predicted.
War is now more serious business, however,
than it was before, and the powers are more
pacific. International complications are gen.
orally settled amicably, and England and
France will probably adjust in this manner the
dispute about territory that belongs to neither
of them.-Marysville Appeal.
