THE COLD WAVE.
San Diego Union: Reports from the
itnerior indicate that the recent cold
wave has done damage in various
places. The extent of the mischief is not
known, but there are indications that
the loss was considera ble in some To-
calities. There seems no doubt that the
orange crop has suffered seriously in
places. 1t will probably be some days
before definite information will be OBJ
tainable. The heaviest loss appears TO
have been inflicted upon the Riverside
not because it was colder there than
at many other interior points, but be-
cause there were more oranges there
to be nipped. Tt is claimed, however
that very small portion of the fruit
in the Riverside Valley has been in
jured, and it is certainly to be hoped
that such may prove the case. No part
of Southern California can suffer a Sc
rious setback without more or less det-
riment to every other locality.
1t is equally true, however, that no
section can deliberately injure itself
without to some extent hurting other
sections. AS matters stand, there are
undoubtedly quite a number of frost
bitten oranges in various parts Of the
interior of Southern California. If these
are kept at home, they represent a COM
paratively small loss. If they are sent
East they will be productive of vast in
jury to every orange growing locality
in this part of the State. Nor does it
matter that for two or three weeks, per
haps, the frost-bitten fruit may be
fairly palatable and may show no signs
except to an expert of the mischief that
has been done. 1t is not safe to send
such fruit to market even under these
conditions.
A PLOW AND FURROW EXAMPLE.
Fresno Expositor: Imagine that you
own a small ranch of 100 acres, and
you have a neighbor who has one of
1000 acres running his plow two or
three furrows into your land each year
Would you not enter protest? And be-
ing weak in your possessions, would
you not ask protection from some of
your stronger neighbors by demanding

Venezuela. England sees some rich
mines or some stragetic point in Vene-
zuela which she Graves, and wants a.
slice in order to obtain what she wants.
and Uncle Sam does not believe she
ought to have it. She is going out of her
range in her avarice, and that is why
President Cleveland asks Congress to
or inf n eli 10 into he
matter. We do not want war with
England, but we do want to know if
she is poaching on American soil, and
there is one thing which England must
not forget, and that is that, no matter
how much the people of the United
States may punch at each other and
pull hair in the regulation of their do
nestle affairs, when it comes to patri-
otic devotion to the great principles of
the republic, they are all one, and will
not allow any foolishness.
ONLY SKIN DEEP.
San Jose Herald: The Legislatures
of Massachusetts and New York have
led off in approval of maintaining the
Monroe doctrine, and others will soon
be heard from in a way to convince
Great Britain that the people of the
Gnteu states, reSafdleSS OF pontlcal
lines, are prepared to sustain President
Cleveland in his Venezuelan policy.
The sensation over his message has
subsided, but the Boundary Commits
sion has been appointed and the busi
ness will go right along. If the COM
mission finds that Great Britain has
overstepped her limits, and she refuses
to atbitrate, then there will be new
sensation, and one that win last
longer than the first one. The comments
OF the German press on British en-
croachment in the Transvaal republic
shows that the sympathy expressed
for Great Britain in the Venezuelan
matter was only skin deep. The Ger
man OK is gored now and he bellows
Justify at British aggression.
