The CALL SPEAKS FOR ALL.
The miners cheered the State.
The Assessors convention comes next.
Can we have better tax laws? is the
question.
There is always a fight in sight for some
kind OF reform.
If there is any such thing possible as an
over r-production of gold, let US try it for
luck.
The campaign is exhausted, but Bryan
is not. H. seems he has another speech in
the slack OF his jaw.
An extra session of Congress would not
disturb business but benefit it. That is
the Republican way.
The miners will furnish US with gold,
but unless we patronize home industries
we won't keep it long.
Tom Watson has the consolation of
knowing he carried his own town, and that
is more than Sewall did.
The guessing at the composition of Nc
Kinley's Cabinet has no end of variety In
it, and yet it is becoming monotonous.
There is still chance for the Popocrats
f0 daclara thar Mr. Hanna iS NOM aroauod
in coercing men into McKinley's Cabinet.
Choose California goods to send TO your
Eastern friends and you will please not
only them but your neighbors here as
well.
There is no reason why Tom Reed
should desire to be Speaker of the next
House. He can rule it just as well from
the floor.
1t is becoming more apparent every day

New reports of opening mills come in
every day, and before long we shall hear
of newly established mills and new enter
prises of ali kinds.
The political fight is by no means ended
in New York, as the Plattites and anti
Plattites are still at it on the old ground
and in the old way.
If all our industrial conventions could
work as harmoniously and as vigorously
as that OF the miners the prosperity of the
State would be assured.
Old Miss Democracy may indulge the
hope of getting rid of Altgeld, but when
the next election comes round she will find
the villain still pursues her.
The Dingley bill may do for time, but
what the country expects is an extra ses-
sion OF Congress and speedy return to a
thorough system of protection.
The present monetary system is good
enough for business, but the deficits in
the revenue show every month the neces-
sity OF immediate tariff reform.
There is abundant room for i'm prove
ment in our State system of taxation, and
an assembly of Assessors ought to be able
TO agree where to begin the work.
Tom Watson's long delayed letter might
as well have been suppressed altogether.

mento. The subject 10 be discussed al
fects every county, and all should be rep.

1t Cleveland does not saw something
about the Cuban question and the Mica
ragua canal in his next question he will
be a dummy as well as fgurehead for
the rest OF his term of Office
In the reyiya OF prosperity in this State
keep your eye on the sugar output. That
is one OF the industries in which we have
not only chance of making zen strike,
but good prospects of doing it.
We may receive many home seekers
from the East, we may get much capi al
from abroad, but alter all the deyelop-
ment o. California from this time forward
depends mainly on Caiifornians.
The principle of arbitration in the Ven.
ezueian matter has been agreed upon and
the basis on which the settlement is to be
made has been determined, but the facts
which are 10 be decided on that basis are
still In dispute.
The Washington Post says California
voted on the tariff question, and cites it as
proof that we are out of touch with the
rest OF The Nation, but when the Post sees
The extra session at work it will find out
that California not only voted right, but
voted on the right thing.
