been taken by the leading theatrical
managerS of San Francisco to do away
with the intolerable big hat nuisance
This is right, and no one will find 1ault
with it. But the ladies are moved TO re-
taliate, and with good reason. They
propose to inaugurate an anti-go-out-
between-the-acts crusade. There are
great many men who fancy that they
must get a drink between each anu
every act, and consequently they croWd

this matter, and they should be encour-

CAST OFF THE GANG PLANK.
Oroville Register: Hon. Grove l..
Johnson speaking in Congress upon the
immigration question was strongly IN
favor of protecting the American Ia
borer by putting a stop to foreign I'M
migration, and upon this point said:
"Give us a law which prohibits the i'm
migration of foreign laborers, lock the
door at Castle Garden, cast off the gang
plank upon which these millions of pau
pers and criminals and laborers have
passed to our shores and the united
voice of all the people will indorse our
action, and in years to come this leg1s-
lation will be called the saving grace
of the United States of America
STAND FAST.
you wish to prevent the leader Of dem
agogues, T. Y. Gator, from misrepre-
senting you in the United States Sem
ate, stand by and vote for your legisla-
tive nominees. A man who would make
a combination with Boss Buckley, as
Gator did in San Francisco, should be
voted into obscurity and compelled to
remain there forever.-Woodland Mail.
IT'S IMPORTANCE.
Nevada City Herald: The election
will bring about radical changes in the
business world. Things are going to be
a great deal better or great deal
worse This is life and death strug-
gle. 1t is not a town election, which
will be forgotten In day. The conse-
quences will be far reaching. 1t be-
hooves every voter to study the situa-
ton carefully and satisfy himself that
he is not making a mistake.
AN INCREASE.
Marysville Appeal Several large
manufacturing establishments through
out the country have promised their
workmen to increase their wages in
the event of McKinleys election; but
have not not heard of any establish
ment agreeing to increase wages in the
event Of Bryan's election.
A MATTER AT HOME.
Oakland Times: Some years ago the
fruit growers began to plant prune
orchards. They thought they saw a
good profit In that industry. When the
trees came into bearing they found a
ready market for their crop at a good
margin. They had just about protec-
ton enough to enable them to compete
with the foreign growers. AS with raj
sins so with prunes, only California
was making any commercial fig
ure with these products. The
prune growers doubled their acre
age. How greatly would they add
could obtain the homo markets. The
German and French product was
brought into the strongest competition
But the prune growers made good
headway until protection was cut down
to a nominal amount. Now they have
ceased to plant any more orchards and
the profits Of the business have nearly
all disappeared. Is Bryan friend to
California when he deliberately aids in
crushing her most profitable indus
tries?
READY TO TUMBLE.
Tulare Register: This Government OF
ours is not taking In money enough to
pay it's bills. 1t is running behind on
its expense account each month II
must either increase its receipts or con-
tinue to borrow to meet current obliga-
tions. The Republican party is op-
posed to borrowing, for no Republican
administration has sold bond since
the close of the rebellion. This party
now claims that import duties should
be so adjusted as to raise the neces-
sary revenue to carry on the Govern
ment's business and keep it's bills paid
Yet Congressman Mcguire announces
fl ON the platform that the silverites
are ready to throttle the Government
until their ism is accepted. He does
rot use these words, but that is what
it amounts to. 1t is a conspiracy to
enforce their scheme by taking ad-
vantage of the necessities of the Gov
ernment, but the responsibility will rest
with them, not with those who would
stop that deficit and make bond selling
unnecessary. Even if Teller, Mcguire
and others prevent tariff legislation for
six years or sixty years that is TO rea-
son why the producers of this Con-
gressional district should vote to send
Castle to the House or Tom Gator to
the Senate. Those who believe in a
protective tariff must vote for it OF
they will not get what they want
These men want no tariff and it is
only begging the question to saw we
can have no tariff legislation. 1T will
be either that or more bond selling.
PLAUSIBLE MIR. BRYAN.
Los Angeles Times: If there is any,
thing that disgusts sensible people with
Mr.. Bryan more than another. it is the
way In which he drops invective
against classes to throw out contempt
ible little innuendoes at individuals
Witness his left-handed slap at Presi-
dent Cleveland. delivered at Clarks-
burg, w. Va:
ANo, lily lIIcIiuS, am not going &c
say one word against the Democratic
President I am going to leave history
to record that the man who went into
office with an overwhelming majority
went out Of office supporting a ticket
which did not carry single county in
the United States"
And why was Mr.. Cleveland COM
PEELED to support "a ticket which did
not carry single county in the United
States?" Simply because the Chicago
