[Oroville Register.l
We would crowd the silurian so closely
with innovations and improvements that
he would be forced to move. 1t is per-
haps idle to rail at the man who tries to
block the wheels of progress in any COM
munity, but we can drive things so fast
that the poor devil will be forced to get
out of the way to keep from getting run
over. If we all work and labor for our
home, If we join hands and march for
ward In the line of progress and improve
ment, the obstructiOnists will be forced
to give way and leave the road open to us.
Let US crowd the men who attempt to
hold back the car of improvement to the
wall, or else run over and crush them
out OF sight. We must make the Sacra-
mento Valley double in wealth and pop
ulation, and the silurian must join with
US or get run over and trampled in the
dust.
DEVILED HAM.
Los Angeles Times.l
Last summer after the strikes, and FREE
quently since then, Debs and his ruffians
and the sympathizers of these ruffians,
have urged that there was no need of
soldiers in this country. They have en-
deavored to jeer at the National and State
soldiery. 1t is their policy, if they can
be said to have any policy, to try and dis
credit the Dulwarks of the flag in time
of emergency. l.aw-abiding people in
this country, however. realize to-day as
they never realized before that there can
be no such thing az safe and strong or
game government without its being sup
ported by an army. They realize that
there is fashion at present of taking the
bone out of ham and calling it deviled
ham, out Of turkey and calling ii deviled
turkey, and there is sort of deviled po-
litloal economy prevalent in many minds.
NOT ON SUNDAY.
[Sutter independently
Adjutant- General Barrett has issued an
order that the semi-annual target practice
OF the National Guard, which will take
place this month, must not be held on a
Sunday.
This is as il should be. Not let Gov
ernor Budd put a stop to all competitive
and match shooting by the National
Guard OH Sunday, and we will begin to
approximate that degree of civilization
which will entitle us to the respect Of the
best class of Eastern people, and our Ma
tional Guard will, to that extent, cease to
be demoralizing influence
ADOPTED.

ITO promote the advance OF COM
munity it is necessary that petty jeal-
ousies be shelved, and the people unite on
all measures that tend for the greatest
good to all. So long as there is pulling
and hauling as the phrase goes, there
will be no forward movement" This is
not ours it is borrowed from the Sacra-
mento RECORD-UNION, and adopted by
US without the change OF a word or letter.
''GooD ENOUGH PLATFORM"
Riverside Press.
After all the discussions of the past
three years it still appears that the silver
plank in the platform adopted by the Re-
publicans in 1892 is good enough for the
coming campaign. That proclamation of
principles declared that "the Republican
party demands the use Of both gold and
silver as standard money, with such re-
strictions and under such provisions, to
be determined by7legislation, as will Sc
cure the maintenapce of the parity Of
values of the two metals, SO that the pur-
chasing and debt-paying power of the
dollar, whether of silver, gold or paper,
shall be at all times equal" That is the
sound and safe doctrine. In all the Re-
publican State Conventions of 1895 and in
the National Convention of 1896 this doc
trine is good enough for anybody who de-
sires to secure the use of silver under
such plan as will cause no further de-
moralizatiOn of business.
