CALIFoRNIANs have been wont

ed of as paris of America. !"
We all know what that expires
sion means. Yet when the Ore
gonian, in a dispassionate essay,
referred to that city as the, ..ten-
derloin of America" there was
an attempted violent outburst of
indignation. The Examiner,
which purveys sporting people
with quantities of nauseous ii-
formation, wakes quite silly over
the affair. It deceives NO one,
for every man who has paid the
slightest attention to those mat
tiers realizes the absolute truth of
the Oregonian's statements of

in the nature of a study and not
an attack upon the people of Cal

also those who voted the national
democratic ticket,at the late cleo
ton, will find themselves unable
to hold convention to nominate
candidates for the next general
election and all their nominations
will have to be by petition, the
republicans being the only party
that will be entitled to make
nominations and have their nom-
inees duly certified to by the sec
retary of state and placed upon
the official ballot without the for
mality of petition. This seri-
Gus predicament comes about by
reason of the laws Of Oregon
which prescribe that a political
party in order to have its notni-
nees made in convention recog-
nized and placed upon the official
ballot, must have poiied at the
preceding election at least three
per cent Of the entire vote cast
in the state. county, precinct OF

that the regular democrats polled

"bumptious braggadocio, "pus-

CREDIT CURRENCY.

The Mckinley administration
can in no wiser way recognize
.sound-money democracy, than by
adopting for its policy the follow
ing portions of the indianapolis
platform:
"But we denounce, also, the
further maintenance of the pres
eent costly patchwork system of
national paper currency as con-
slant source of injury and peril.
We assert the necessity of such
intelligent currency reform as will
confne the government to its
legitimate functions, completely
separated from the banking busi-
ness, and afford to all sections of
our country a uniform safe and
elastic bank currency under gov
ernment supervision, measured in
volume by the needs of business. I"
1t is the suprenest folly for the
government to invite assaults
upon its credit by treasury raids.
If those people who have so bit
terly assailed President Cleveland
for the issuance of bonds, had
directed their batteries against the
perilous system that made the
sale of the bonds all absolute nee
essity, it would have been much
more creditable to their sense of
Justice and their intelligence.
We have cured ourselves of
our foolishness concerning the
money question. Now is the best
time to begin to be sensible about
money substitutes.
