VOICE OF THE PRESS.
Expressions From Some of the News
papers of the Interior.


The people of California are to have
chance to obtain representation at the At
lanta Exposition, a convention of the
of the State having been ar
ranged for to make the necessary prepa-
ratiOns. The proposition involves the
Of little money, but the
cost to each county need not be large and
the benefit to be derived from securing
space at the exposition Will amply repay
the State for all the trouble and expense.
The new South is making noble efforts to
get to the forefront as a manufacturer and
producer and is accomplishing this very
rapidly. The Atlanta fair will be the first
that section has had for years
of showing what it has achieved and is
capable of achieving. CalifOrnia's prod
uts may we'll seek market in the South
ern States, and it is to the interest of this
State to put her best foot forward in the
effort.
DREwLING.
[Tulare Register.l
If several score country newspapers
of this State would devote to the wares of
some poor woman trying to make a liv-
ing the space they now waste in windy
parade of every movement of the city
papers it would serve more useful pur-
pose. There is no San francisco sheet
that covers editorial space with elaborate
accounts of the fact that some country
paper has changed its size, secured new
type or improved its news service.
What's the need of drewling whenever
those Journals think they have done
new.
PREMATURE.
Woodland Democrat.l
A call for convention by the Demo-
crtaic State Central Committee, for no
other purpose than to take action on the
currency question, would be premature.
No election will be held for nearly year
and half. In the meantime vigorous
is going on through the news
papers and on the rostrun, and before
they are called upon to vote on the ques-
ton many people may experience a
change of conviction. Let the campaign
of education go on. There are many peo-
pie who have either not given the subject
any thought at all. or whose opinions are
80 crude that they are scarcely worthy of
and these people are not
all confined to one side of the question.
OF BICYCLISTs.
Los Angeles Timesl
1t is no more reasonable to hold the
great body Of bicyclists responsible for
.he careiessness of a few than it would be
% hold all those who drive horses re-
,ponsible for the misdeeds of few reck-
ess drivers. In many cities the mum Der
of bicyclists is already greater than the
lunber of carriages drawn by horses,
md the bicyclists are rapidly increasing,
while the carriages are decreasing. Bicy-
,lists comprise all classes, of both Sexes
and it is not surprising that among so
arge number should be found few
,ar eless or reckless riders. Individual
cases of reckless riding should be se-
verely punished, as should reckless driv-
ng. But they should be regarded and
no classes of men or women, as whole,
ire blamable.
ANTI-SILVER.
Oakland Times.I
It is held by the extreme silver advo-
;ates that NOW is Americas opportu-
that now is the time for
A America to adopt free coinage at. the ratio
II Ii to l.
Let US consider what the result would |
De for this country alone to attempt the |
rec coinage of silver upon ratio far be- |
ow the commercial ratio between the |
.wo metals, gold and silver. 1t cannot be |
1enled that the result would be a single |
silver currency-for gold having COM
llercial value of say 70 or 80 to /, would
NJ Immediately go out of circulation and |
become an article of merchandise. The |
result on the Pacific Coast, in California, |
It least, would be very different from the
result East. All contracts in California
ire gold contracts. A man owing 3 note
If say 1000, payable In gold coin. when
t became due would have TO go into the
market and buy the gold with which to
Day the note, and pay for 1t a premium
to the difference between y ,
