State courts may upset them for doing
what Mr.. Wright says has been done.
AN ILLUSTRATION.
Tulare Register: A striking fact IL
Illustrating the fear that capital had OF
consequences which might flow from the
election of Bryan is pointed out by the
financial department of the New York
Outlook" one of the most conservative
and reliable journals in America. 1t is
that for some weeks prior TO election
thousands of people all over the country
bought exchange on foreign countries to
the amount of millions of dollars ana
put the drafts away until after election
so that if Bryan should be elected and
panic should ensue their money Wouid
be safely beyond the borders OF our
country and they would rest at ease.
SO great was this demand for foreign
exchange that the ia was raised to
quite high figure, but there mas been
a reaction since the election OF Nc
Kinley and this money is now seeking
investment in our own country.
ADVICE FROM MEXICO.
"A
managing editor of 1.-THE Two Repub-
lies" the leading paper in the City OF
Mexico, writes to the Appeal that the
Mexican Government has taken official
Cognizance of the appearance OF many
foreigners in that country who would
be better off had they remained away.
The Secretary of Foreign Affairs, lgna-
clio Mariscal, has authorized that paper
to set the people right in regard to i'm
portant immigration matters. Mr.. Blake
in his letter to the Appeal, says:
Owing to the misinformation pub
lished from time to time in the United
States, many people come or contem-
plate coming TO this country who ought
rever to have left or leave their homes.
Such action is detrimental not only to
the people themselves, but to Mexico as
well. The opportunities here for some
classes are excellent; for others they
are not"
From press clippings he had been ad
viSed that a number of people in this
part of California contemplates start
ing for Mexico. In the light of such
kindly advice they had better pause and
make further inquiry. Mayhap the op-
portunities for those anxious to go do
not exist Be sure you are right, then
go ahead. Contrary action will be ILL
advised.
SAN FRANCISCO AND HER REPU-
TATION.
Stockton Mail: The Portland "Ore-
gonian'' has been taking a shy at CAL
ifornia and Californian society. 1t
calls the State "the tenderloin of Amer
lea" the unanimity with which Mrs.
Castles crimes We're condoned in this
State being made the pretext for the
assault. In the course of its stric-
lures the "Oregonian" says:
There Is no mystery about the low
moral tone of society in California;
about the cheap estimate placed upon
female virtue and male honor; about
the liberation of stealing and the con-
donation of treachery to the common,
commercial, political or social codes
that prevail elsewhere
California need make no defense to
such charges. Wherever California
and Californians are known they need
no apologists. The moral tone of So
ciety in this State is as high as it is
anywhere, and facts will prove it. No
where is woman more respected, more
honored, and nowhere does female vir-
tue rank higher. California women
stand too high at home and abroad as
beautiful, intellectual, brilliant and
good to be injured by such a publica-
ton.
What a sweet morsel of nastineSs
this "Oregonian' editorial has been to
the Examiner which the first day
devoted a half page to it and may be
relied upon to make the most of it so
long as people will talk about it.
As a matter of fact, it is the news
papers of San Francisco which have
created the base and false impressions
of Californian life that obtain abroad.
They have in the main departed from
the old, safe and honorabl principles
of journalism, and have substituted
for it a gutter-snipe system.
THE IRRIGATION DECISION.
San Jose Mercury: Aside from the le-
gal questions involved, the principal
Loint settled was that a possible means
is now afforded by which large areas Of
fertile land may be rendered productive
and utilized for the benefit of mankind
It means that throughout the Sacra-
mento and San Joaquin Valleys and
Southern California thousands of men
may now be employed in the construc-
ton of reservoirs, the digging of canals
and da-ches and in the cultivation Of
hitherto barren soil. 1t means an ex-
tension of the grain fields, orchards and
vineyards and a great increased produc-
tiOn of wealth. 1t means more homes.
more people and more proSperous towns
