ABLE, ARDENT AND JEALOUS.
Oroville Register: A number of able,
ardent and Jealous Republicans have
been named as available delegates to
the National Republican Convention
from this district. Among them all,
none have been named who will carry
more weight than Grove L. Johnson.
His record in Congress this winter
shows that he is the peer of any man in
the House, and he will be power from
this State if sent to the National Con-
vention.
A NEW ERA.
Alameda Telegram: Northern Cali
fornia will now on lead the procession
OF the progressive sections of the Union.
The old era of revolution and turmoil is
giving away to one which every citizen
VIII work shoulder to shoulder in the
cause of progress. This change has been
sudden. 1t has been effected within the
past six months. 1t came as matter
OF necessity. For years the political
Cemagogue has had his way in this
section of the State. With his greedy
eyes gloating over the corporation
treasures, he had DETAINED and libeled
every organization with capital that
had for it's object the development of
the interests of the State The rail-
road company and all subsidiary cor
porationS have been compelled to tar
their patrons to the utmost to satisfy
the demands of these corrupt dema-
gogues their patrons were deluded into
electing to Office. These corporations
fleeced by politicians have been COM
PEELED to fleece the people of California
in return. The dear people now recog
rize this fact. They appreciate the sad
truth that they have been the purchas-
ers of every corrupt Legislature; they
have had wrung from every industry
the treasure required to contest every
lawsuit and corrupt every election. The
people are awake to these facts, and
the -mouthed agitator, the man who
proposes to throttle corporations, has
run his race. The talk is heard every
where, among Republicans, Democrats
and Populists, that new era has
dawned. Corporations. will be justly
dealt with hereafter and they will not
be compelled to purchase justice or
delve in their Golfers to protect them
selves from adverse legislation. With
in the next two years the change will
be made apparent. Freight rates will
he reduced, capital will come out from
behind it's retreat, and Northern Cali
fornia will reach the zenith of pros
perity. The man who Lells against cap
ital and corporations will find his occu-
patton gone. The people have suffered
through his blackmailing exactions.
POOR PEOPLE.
Tulare Register: Mrs. Davidson has
had weighty matters under considera
ton since she got out of Jail. She was
offered large money to exhibit herself
in a dime museum, to go on the stage
and help act the Brown fiasco out, and
to lecture under the management of
some enterprising harvester of the fool
crop, but she has declined these offers
one and all. She is going to take to the
lecture field under her own manage
ment and SO tell all that she wants to
about Brown. In fact, she is going to
speak her mind. And there will be
those who will go to hear her. She will
begin her lectures in the city and will
circulate about the bay cities and, if all
goes we'll, she will then boldly launch
into the interior and keelhaut Brown
from Siskiyou to San Diego one way
and back the other. Poor Brown! Poor
peoplel Poor lecture, probably!
NEW THINGS OLD.
Stockton Independent: In a suit for
infringement of the copyright of a song
in San Francisco several witnesses tes-
titled that the melody is older than
either of the claimants to authorship.
This is no way surprising, because OF
the revival of old melodies and their in
corporation in new marches, waltzes,
ETC. One of the marches that has re-
Gently become very fashionable in
cludes an old Irish Come all ye" that
had been roared at social gatherings
for generations and only seemed to
wear itself out about a generation
ago Ever since FlOtow stole THE Last
Rose of Summer" and made it part of
the opera of Martha" that kind of
musical larceny has been common.
Moore, who is widely credited with the
authorship of the melodies, did not
pretend to be such. He wrote the song,
but only revived the ancient Irish mel
ody.
THEIR GOOSE COOKED.
Oroville Register: Redding, Red
Bluff and Oroville are the three towns
in Northern California where the Pop
ulists have made a hard and desperate
fight for foothold. The election which
came off Monday at Redding was a
complete victory for the Republican
ticket and the Populists were COM
pletely showed under. Red Bluff and
Oroville will follow suit this fall
MULES IN 1T.
Tu1are Register: 1t would seem that,
after all, the failure of the Italian cam
paign in AbySsinia was due to mules.
1t has been popularity supposed that
mules never die, but the mules which
the Italian Government sent to Abys-
sinia for purposes of transportation
died about as soon as they got there.
In fact, like the confirmed invalids that
they were, they were sent there for
that purpose. The contractors had
bought up all the old mulish relics of
bygone times that they could find in
all Italy and turned them in to the
Government at big prices, and the first
hard work put upon them finished
them and finished the camnaipn also
