Expressions From the Newspapers OF
Interior California.
Santa Barbara Press: War is one of
the very greatest calamities that can
happen to any nation, and yet this
country for some time past has, SEEM
ingly at least, been just aching to nave
some other Government knock the chip
from its shoulder. England would not,
and now the relations with Spain are
so crowded in regard to Cuba that 1t
NAV be jostled off while Congress IS
taking its attitude in regard to the in
surgents.
l-@e=- AS UNDERSTOOD.
Calayeras Prospect: AS we under
stand the funding proposition it puts off
the time Of payment, reduces the inter
est in the meantime, but requires ample
security in addition to that now helo oy
the Government, thereby making the
payment some definite time in the 1u-
ture a certainty. If this is the case, as
generally so understood, and II fore-
closure would result in sacrifice OF mill
ions due or force Government ownership
upon the country at enormous COST Io3'
the sake of a doubtful and dangerous
experiment, for so it looks to US, we
should clean up the business on the oest
terms Congress can exact by settlement
on sound business principles in retuho-
ing the debt.
CONCERNING SACRAMENTO.
Fresno Expositor: We do not know
lust what kind of man the present
Mavor of Sacramento is, but from the
way the city papers handle him it would
appear that he does not move IN a iine
that indicated permanency in the city,
or even in the permanency OF the earth-
That city has suffered more from that
necllliar economy that hurts than from
any and all combinations Of events.
There are improvements necessary to
make it attractive that would do more
to build it up and produce revenue ana
place it out of debt than all the parS1-
nlonious ingenuity can ever save IN the
administration of public affairs. 1t has
been treated like a very sick patient IN
the hands of a quack doctor.
THE UNIVERSITY WINS.
San Jose Herald: The Supreme Court
has decided the suit of the Government
against Mrs Stanford in favor of the
defendant Every resident of San Jose
and Santa Clara County will rejoice that
the continued "a lAAO o. See~
university is thus assured. In future
years when the circumstances leading
up to this suit have been forgotten;
when even the Pacific Railroads ques-
tion shall have dropped out of sight In
some final disposition, the university
will still be a power for the intellectual
uplift of generations now unborn. This
is a result for which the State and the
Union, now and hereafter can join in
cOngratula tions.
THE RED FLAG.
San Jose Herald: A very persistent
effort, it appears, is being made in San
Francisco to organize the anarchists OF
that city into clubs. The chief insti-
gator is one Gorri, an Italian, who is
said to have been expelled from Swift
zerland His efforts thus far have been
mainly devoted to the colony of his
countrymen at the metropolis, and he
/ seems to have met with some success.
| He does not make any secret of his pur-
pose The anarchists. he says, propose
| to organize openly in San Francisco,
| and then to extend their propaganda
| elsewhere Whether or not they in
| tend to do anything beyond organiz-
| ing, remains to be seen. 1t would be
WE'LL however, for the authorities to
keep close watch on these fellows. This
| State is not any more exempt from
crime and pauperism than any other
J commonwealth, but heretofore it has
