Just think of it'll One hundred millions of
pounds of wool have been imported into the
United States this year. 1t is no wonder that
our own wool is SO cheap that it hardly pays
the sheep-owner to shear his flocks, but 1t is
wonderful that many of these hard-working
men still vote the Democratic ticket and blame
the Republicans for the decrease of their for
tunes.-Stockton Record.
American politics may contain raw spots,
but ii is impossible to imagine even our tough
est electors slugging women in the jaw, pelt-
ing candidates and their wives with filth, and
doing the many other disgraceful things that
occurred in England during the recent cleo
ton over there. That country has good big
contract on It's hands to civilize its own bar
barians before sending missionaries to other
lands or passing criticism upon the methods of
its neighbors.-Los Angeles Times.
After all that is said and done, the wealth of
all great countries comes from the intelligent
tilling of the soil, and the sooner our people
realize that fact and govern themselves ac-
cordingly, by going to work, the sooner pros
perity will come to us, and the arrival of free
silver legislation will not be at all delayed
thereby. Standing on the street corners and
talking about it will not hurry free coinage

long ago demonstrated. The State is flooded
with white labor that cries for employment
Put these two facts together, and then pro-
nounce judgment upon the fruit-growers OF
Yolo County. The punishment of the men
who have destroyed property at Putah Creek
should be heavy; but an outraged public SEN
timent should be no less prompt to impress
upon the minds OF the Yolo orchardists that
they, too, have committed crime, none the
less grave because it does not happen to come
within the jurisdiction of the law.-San Jose
Mercury.
Where will the Democracy get off? Their
party platform is likely to mean gold only for
money, and they are already bound by pre-
vions declarations to destroy the national bank
system. But the national banks constitute the
bulwark of the gold monometallists. That
party is having whole lot of trouble trying to
spread itself all over all sides Of every ques-
tion.-Ph9nix (Ariz.) Herald.
The Valley road people saw wood and say
little. This is far better than much buster
and little work. At Stockton they are employ
ing at grading all the men with teams they can
secure. They have the rails, fish plates and
other necessaries there, and the first two loco
motives have just been received. When the
road gets into the country to the south OF
Stockton better progress will be made. AS
each mile of road is com mp1eted Tulare County
will be one mile nearer emancipation. .--visalia

The American laborer has been wronged
deeply wronged. The body polite has
been defled and the peace of the country
greatly disturbed by the practically unchecked
deluge of laborers who are unfit to become
citizens. The laborer who feels the wrong
makes the great mistake of violently contend
ing with the effect and only feebly opposing
the cause, unchecked immigration. This
feebleness is caused by the presence among
the organized laborers of so many of the i'm
ported class, who. while protesting to believe
this country to be sunk to the depths of misery
are all the time trying to induce and aid more
of their fellows to come here and share their
misery.-Stockton Independent.
