the modern State and tile modern city.-Port-
land Oregonian.
When we think of the possibilities of this
great country. we wonder when the silurians
will get out of the way of progressive men,
Willows Journal.
The establishment of manufactures, re-
tarded by the general dullness, should be en-
courage6, because the employment of labor is
the surest basis of prosperity.-Seattle Post-In-
telligencer.
Combination is the spirit of the age, not
necessarily for the purpose of raising prices
for that is not the history of legitimate CON-
binations) but for mutual protection of identi-
cal nterests.-Astorian.
The small fry who are daily attacking Coins
books remind one of a lot of common buzzards
tickling the tail of an elephant. Like the hawk
when pursued by swallow, Coin keeps on the
even tenor of his way regardless Of the nibbling
attacks made upon him-Salem (0r.) Post.
1t has been well-known fact for some time
that no self-respecting, independent Democrat
of even ordinary prominence could expect
place in President Cleveland's Cabinet as the
principal qualification for selection and reten-
ton has not been ability, but submission.-San
Diego Union
Let the wage-earners arouse themselves and
Guido all the other classes in the community
in patriotism Let them claim the Fourth as
their holiday, and let the American people
once more stand by American principles and
there will be fewer paupers and less hard times
in these United States.-Los Angeles Express.
Not only the miners of California but all
the people are outraged by the refusal of the
Commissioner of the General Land Office to
hear the evidence which the Miners, Associ-
alton produce that 25, 900 acres of land to
be listed to the Central Pacific is mineral land,
and therefore is exempt from listing to the
railroad.-Colusa Gazette.
The free-trade organs and Golden Club con.
yerts may continue to hug the delusion fondly
to their hearts that the silver question will be
the only issue in the next Presidential cam
paign, but we are strongly of the opinion that
protection to American industries and Ameri-
can workmen will stand side by side with the
money question-Red Bluff Sentinel.
Time was when the truth about California
climate and California productions was re-
ceived with sniff and shfug, but now every
thing that is told is listened to with respectful
attention. Most people have seen something
+ California fruits and flowers themselves, or
have heard the reports of friends who have
seen them. and like the Queen of Sheba, they
find that, instead of exaggeratien, the half had
not been told them.-San Jose Herald.
The Grand Jury of San Francisco has recon-
mended that aged officers on the police force
be retired, and that younger blood be substi-
tuted. The number of undetected crimes that
have been committed of late is ample sugges-
ton that some innovation should be made. If
the Bay City would secure the services of
squad of cow-county officers, we predict that
they would discount the best efforts that have
been made by the City officers for the last de-
cade.-San Luis Obispo Breeze.
