Expressions From Newspapers Of In
terror California.
Stockton Record: If the example set
by the leading newspapers of both po-
Itical faiths is followed by the wealthy
Republicans and Democrats of the city,
San Francisco may secure the cOnVen-
ton; and, should this fortunately oc-
cur, it would accomplish more than any
other influence at the present time TO
strengthen the bond Of brotherhood and
patriotism between the people Of the At
Iantic and those of the Pacific Coast.
WHAT IT CAN DO.
San Jose Mercury: The Republican
National Committee Will decide on the
10th Of December where to hold the
convention. That allows ample time
for San Francisco to meet Pittsburg 5
offer and go it one better San Fran
ciscO'S chances are already good, but
to make them certain Will require per-
sistent work. If the matter is to be de-
termined on merit the convention viii
doubtless come here; but the danger
lies in possible combinations and COM
binations among politicians who are
interested in keeping the convention
there.
ARGENTINE WHEAT.
Tulare County Times: Concerning
the growing of wheat the Bureau Of
the South American Republics has pub
Hshed some interesting statistics con-
cerning the remarkable growth of that
industry. The total wheat crop for 1894
was >, l14, 600 tons, an increase of nearly
20 per cent over the crop of 1893, and
of more than 100 per cent. over the crop
of 1892. This increase bids fair to con-
tinue, as the acreage this year is much
larger than ever before NO other
country in the world says the report,
can produce a quarter of wheat
eight bushels) more cheaply. The act
ual cost of producing and delivering at
station, including bags, threshing and
carriage, may be set down in q good year
at about s. 20 a quarter. 1t is a re
markable fact that while in 1880 the Ar
gentine Republic imported wheat for
consumption, in 1893 it took rank as the
third most important Wheat-prOducing
country of the world"
VALUE OF HARD TIMES.
Fresno Expositor: Seasons of de-
pTesSiOns always follow seasons of ac-
tivity, and vice versa. The present one,
that has about half spent its force, has
been more oppressive than any former
one since 1897, because it has been more
worldwide, and has entered into every
department OF life and affected every in
=
educators that check the prOfigacy of q
people prone to reach out too far in spec
ulatiOn. The very rich and the very
poor are the greatest sufferers, and
learn the lesson of economy and pru-
dence more intensely than do the mid
die classes. who seem to husband their
resources in such a manner as to meet
their expenses without the pangs of
pinching poverty or the fear of great
loss.
THE BOYS CHANCE.
Escondido Times: The saying "Give
the boys a chance" is too suggestive of
a lottery The boy who starts out in
life to win does not wait for chances"
to come in his way, but goes right
ahead and cOnQuers, making his way
by persistent effort and steady appli-
cation to the work in hand. The road to
successis not lined with chances"
CREATING A MARKET.
Visalia Delta: A Fabian policy is
sometimes successful in war. although
attended with little glory and lessgore
But in trade similar policy never wins
Trade must be aggressive. and if pushed
always Will win over discOuraging OBJ
stacles. Small communities are often
deferred from making a bold strike for
trade because of the competition to be
met with from larger and Weather
communities. But small beginnings
boldly pressed often develop into results
as surprising as satisfactory.
LOUISE MICHEL.
Los Angeles Times: It is announced
that Louise Michel will come to this
country in December on a Iecturing
tour, in order to raise a fund with which
to build a home for disabled anarchists
in England. If a guarantee could be
given that all the anarchists would be
kept ''at home" there would be no great
difficulty in raising money enough to
erect either graVestOnes or buildings
for their accommodation. The build
ings should have grated windows and
should be kept locked. The grave
stones would not need these appIi-
ances.
SILLY RESOLUTION.
Williams Farmer: The State Central
Committee of the POpulist party by resolu-
ton have declared that delegates attend
ing the next convention shall travel by
horse and wagon. Nothing could be more
in keeping with their policy. A plank in
their platform declaring against the use
mending oxen as the beast of burden for
the farmer would be equally appropriate,
ANARCHIST MOWBRAY.
Los Angeles Express; Here is a sample of
the kind of doctrine the foreign agitators
who come to this country TO escape Euro
The dispatch is from st. Louis: Charles
w. MOwbray, the English Anarchist. de-
hvered Il speech on 'Anarchy-Communism
to a large crowd at Walhalla Hall yester-
day afternoon. All of his sentiments were
loudly applauded He pointed out the So
cial moral and physical evils of the times
and then attributed their existence to
the evils of the system of government
which holds sway in every land. Now
bray jokingly referred to the fact that he
was out on bond for insulting the flag of
Uncle Sam in recent speech and added:
What does the red, white and blue mean
to US? They should mean nothing to each
ard every one of us, for they are really
fools who rally around q piece of calico to
maintain the Rothschilds of the world
The Declaration of independence is a
dead letter Men have been arrested for
reading it on the streets No form of
government ever met the wants of the peo-
Pile Patriotism is dead" Is it not very
ncerly time that something was done to
keep men of the Mowbray stripe out of
the United States. and put out those who
have been foolishly allowed to come in
here?
