Oakland Telegram: A contemporary
IN describing the horse show in San
0ranclsco, says good form was shown
An the AFTERNOON, and then describes at
length the costumes worn by the ladies.
It would seem as if the horses were not
In 1t with the women.
A CANDIDATE
Shasta Courier: 1t is known that Hon.
James M. Gleaves of Redding Is an as
plrant for the office Of United States
Surveyor-General, to succeed the pres
ent incumbent, Will S. Green.
DIDN'T WANT ANOTHER DOSE.
Marysville Appeal: The orange crop
In this vicinity is not as large as it was
year ago by considerable, and we are
informed that it has practically been
bought up by local people. None Of the
consignments are heavy and the men
who are handling them say that the
few remaining lots are Of no conse-
quence.
A year ago it will be remembered
there was quite a stir among the small
growers. A broker came here and
raised the offerings of local men sew
eral cents and secured their business.
He could afford to be generous and SO
stand" Such people could, If it were
not for the danger of arousing too
much suspicion, offer a dollar for every
unit of any ordinary product they might
desire to secure. The prospects of pay
for the produce would be rather uncer-
tain We were told that several fly-by-
night operators came into this field
only few weeks ago and proffered all
kinds OF prices. They ran up against
people with sad experiences and in
most cases We're gazed upon with CLASSY
eyes. Some Of those with speculative
turn stopped long enough to ask who
they were and who they represented.
The reply that the inquirers got was
about as pertinent as one Of the univer-
sity yells which runs this fashion:
who are, who are we? We are, we
are We"
Of course these worthless did not tarry
long to try their business methods
here They sought other fields. 1t
takes a little experience to educate
community In Marysville 1t takes
about one dose The local competition
here in every line is pretty stiff, and
producer generally gets every cent that
the market offers and leaves commits
Iuinerants in any line lack RESPONSE
bility and should be Stunned.
LET HIM GO IT.
Redwood City Times-G Gazette: If
there is any gentleman who can find
amusement by keeping up the silver
fight from now until planting time,
let hm enjoy his harmless fun.
A GOOD EXAMPLE.
San Diego Union: Sacramento has
set an example that should be initiated
by other cities, large and small. 1t has
passed an ordinance making it a misde-
meanor for any person to spit upon a
sidewalk. In doing this the State Capt.
tai has taken the lead in a. reform that
has made good progress in the East, and
should be generally adopted all over the
country. No gentleman will ever soil
the pavement and flagstones where
ladies are walking, and people who are
guilty Of such an improperly should be
taught decency by the law. 1t is not
merely matter Of common cleanliness.
1t is largely a sanitary question Spit
ting on the sidewalk is punished in most
of the large cities of Europe. 1t should
be abolished in this country And
where simple regard for decency is
not sufficient to deter persons from COM
mitting so disgusting an offense, there
should be a law to compel them to be de-
cent.
BEET SUGAR
Santa Clara Journal: The present
winter should witness a tremendous
boom in the beet sugar industry in this
State. Millions of dollars could be made
in this industry in California. The
grand opening for a great and prosper
Gus business in this line should not be
longer ignored by Californians
NOTHING MORE TRUE.
Cotton Chronicle: A stranger has
