VOICE OF THE PRESS.
Extracts From Editorial Expression Of
Journals
OF the State and the Coast on SUBJ
jeCts of Living and News
Interest.

Stockton Independent: Trade papers,
like Republican dailies, continue to re-
Tor to the effect of the election on pusl-
ness. The Wool and Cotton Reporter
confirms what was said in Tuesday
independent regarding sales in an
ticipation of the election. So many busi-
ness men felt certain OF Mckinney 5
success that they made ventures that,
mad they not been thus certain, would
not have been made.
TOLD YOU SO.
San Bernardino Sun: The activity in
commercial and manufacturing centers
Is unprecedented. For week the press
dispatches have brought the word from
ocean to ocean of mills opening, of fac
tories resuming, of furnaces lighted,
and the whirr of industry fills all the
land.
OF OSCAR.
Santa Rosa Press: The selection of
King Oscar of Sweden as the fifth ar
bitrator in the Venezuelan dispute
seems to give general satisfaction.
Oscar has the reputation of being a
pretty square sort of a man. He has
acted as arbitrator between nations be-
stood.
MIGHT BE BOTH.
Dixon Tribune: Some of our Repub-
lican exchanges are nothing if not con-
sistent. In one column they attribute
the rise in wheat to the drought in In
dia, and another they claim that it is
directly the result of the return Of the
Republican party to power.
A HOPE.
Santa Rosa Republican: 1t is to be
hoped that when the present Congress
reconvenes the desire to do politics Will
be put aside for a time, and that there
will be an honest effort to legislate for
the benefit of the whole country. BY
united effort the Congress and the
President can do a great deal to make
times better and it is not improbable
that even Mr.. Cleveland will be willing
to concede some tariff legislation on
protection lines as we'll as for increased
revenue.
A PRINCIPLE.
Stockton Record: The actual condi-
tions of this country are that no fixed
classes exist. In every worldngman S
composition is hope that some day he
will cease to be a wage-earner and
emerge into the employing class, or at
tain competency which Will render him
practically independent. This has been
and still is the supporting principle OF
the labor system of America The hope
the labor system of America. The
hope and faith in the work
ingman's own future, of which
he by diligence and self-denial
becomes the architect, constitutes the
true nobility of labor.
SINGULAR RULING.
Santa Rosa Republican: The voters OF
Kansas have elected as Chief Justice
Of the Supreme Court Of that state a
man who is on record with the oft-re-
peated declaration that the rights OF
the user are paramount TO the rights
of the owner in the case of borrow ed
money. This is the way the people OF
that State vote high rates of interest
upon themselves. In their efforts to
beat money loaners they have added
one-half to the interest rates formerly
charged there.
HOW TO DO 1T.
Fresno Expositor: In the next cam
paign for woman suffrage, suffrage ad-
vocates might do well to wage the bat
tie with their own sex first. Convince
a majority of the women of the State
that suffrage is really a desirable or
necessary thing to have, and set them
earnestly at work for it, and the battle
viii be more than two thirds Won Let
all or any considerable number of the
women of the State desire it, and desire
it earnestly, and no opposition will be
strong enough to withstand them for
any great length of time.
JUST SO EVERYWHERE.
Napa Register: A business man Of
Napa received a letter from a Los An
geles merchant yesterday in which the
merchant said, 100000 has come
back into the banks of Los Angeles
since November 4th. and S2,000.000
more, which had been locked up and
held back through fear of Bryan's cleo
ton, Will follow the 100000 into circu-
lation again
DEMOCRATIC VIEW.
Colusa Sun: Radical silver advocates
are threatening all sorts of dire con-
sequences should the incoming admins
tration undertake to borrow money in
stead of forcing people to take the sill
Yer IN the treasury, and, instead Of re-
alizing the fact that money Will have TO
be borrowed, the Republicans are tell
ing about how Mckinley is going to get
money without borrowing. Both these
are bad. The patriotic American citi-
zen should now make up his mind that
he will stand by the President in what
ever he has to do His hands will be
tied in so far as making arrangements
for legitimate revenue until Congress
acts. 1t is hardly likely that enough
votes can be had to put enough more
on the backs of the overloaded consum-
ers, to make up the enormous deficien-
cy, and the money powers will make a
vigorous kick against being made to
stand any Of it.
THE FIRST OF BETTER DAYS.
Oakland Tribune: The list Of 2I5 mills
and factories giving employment TO
more than 100 900 persons is the result
of the election which only occurred ten
days ago This is only the beginning
of a new era The Republicans prom
ised better times If the country indorsed
their ticket II did indorse it with an
emphasis that evidently meant business.
Now there is no more money in the
country than there was a week ago. and
no more business men
What has made the difference? Ii is
simply that there has been revival OF
public confidence Without that there
could be no revival of business Money
would not come out from its hiding
