VOICE OF THE PRESS.
Expressions From the Newspapers of
Interior California.


Mail of Woodland: Considerable ad-
verse comment has been the outgrowth
of the action of the Yolo County Su-
pervisors in refusing to contribute
funds to send a lobbying committee to
Washington to work for Sacramento
River improvement. While the Super
visors of this county have done much
that is worthy of condemnation, the
course they have pursued in this mat
ter is commendable. The taxpayers once
before bore their share of the expense of
such junket, and no good came of it.
It was Hon. Levi B. Adams who sug-
gested to the board that no appropria-
ton for this fund be made this year,
and explained that cordial cooperation
by the board with the United States
engineer officer in charge of Govern
ment works in California would accom-
plish more than all the junkets that
could be devised.
WINDWARD ISLANDS.
Riverside Press: Denmark finds the
holding of the Windward Islands an
expensive luxury, and proposes to sell
them to some other Power. Germany is
the only important Power that has no
harbor in the West Indies, and desires
to obtain control of st. Thomas. The
natives dislike the Germans, and, in
fact, do not want to come under the con-
troll of any European Power. A most
liberal offer is said to have been made
this Government regarding the pur-
chase of these islands. If they are
given independence they are likely to
get under the protection of Great Brit
ain, since many of the residents are of
English descent. Here is a second op-
portunity for Uncle Sam to acquire a
much-needed naval depot in the West
Indies, and it is to be hoped that it will
not be lost.
AN AMERICAN DUTY.
Placer Herald: After the novelty of
the Venezuelan affair has worn off, and
the bombastic newspaper reports are
thrown aside, there is much left for the
American citizens reflection. He is
confronted with his duty as an Ameri-
can citizen, which means that in any
case and under any circumstances he
will support and uphold the President
and Congress in their official acts
There is hardly any need to point out
the duty of an American citizen, as his
natural patriotism and love for his
country and its institutions and princi-

INVEST IN THE POPULAR LOAN


The San Jose Herald we'll said,
some days before the popular loan was
announced:
There is plenty of money in the coun-
try always ready to be invested in Gov
ernment securities if such securities
could be obtained in small amounts and
under convenient conditions. We vent
ure to say that two or three hundred
thousand dollars would be invested
from San Jose alone in 3 per cent. gold
bonds, if such bonds could be obtained
in denominations of one hundred to
five hundred dollars, and were made
negotiable at a slight discount, say 2
per cent, at any time on application at
the Postoffice, or some other convenient
place.
1t is also true of Sacramento. There
is idle money that can we'll be invested
in Government security such as that
now offered to the people. Nor will
this investment rob local interests of
any ability whatever. The bonds form
just as substantial basis for prosecution
of local improvements, business and
speculation for that matter as could be
possibly devised.
The Herald" adds:
There is no difficulty in other coun-
tries about such matters. The people
of France own the securities of their
Government and would take thousands
of millions more of they We're to be had.
The people of England also own the
securities of their Government in one
form or another 1t is only this rich and
powerful and intelligent United States
that depends upon foreign money lend
ers for the sale of it's bonds.
We fully believe that every dollar
owed by the Government should be
loaned by the people themselves. All
this palaver about the opinion of the
Rothschilds or the Morgans and such
like whenever there is any talk about
issuing bonds would then be heard of
no more. The people of the United
States, and they alone, would be the
creditors of the Government, the inter-
est that is paid would be paid to them
and not to foreign usurers, and every
owner of bond of the United States
would be specially interested in the
stability and perpetuity of the republic
Surely these are good reasons for
changing our policy in this respect If
the issue of more bonds is authorized
by Congress, let them be offered first of
all to the people of the United States.
Then, if they should not be taken, the
fact viii soon be known and no great
harm will be done But they would be
taken, and taken with avidity, under
proper and reasonable conditions, and
it should be the duty of Congress to
provide such conditions, and make an
appeal to the people

BOLT FROM MATTHEW'S

tial Boom.

Evidence is accommodating that the Demo-
Gratis will have "monkey-and-parrot' time

crowd has a number of possible candidates
in view. but they will probably center on

who, they think, can command a consider
able Populist vote on account of his well
known Populistic tendencies. In fact, some
of them believe that if Shively is nomi-
mated the Populists will indorse him and put
him at the head of their ticket $780,
All this is a cause of great grief to Gov
ernor Matthews. Aside from his desire to
have harmonious State behind him in his
candidacy for President, he is vitality inter-
ested in having the Indiana Democracy
adopt modified stradd.e on silver. For over
a year now he has been hammering away
laboriously in the effort to convince the peo-
pie that he really didn't mean it when he
let go that rank free-silver speech in the
convention two years ago.. 1t has been
delicate matter to try to do this to the sat
isfaction of the gold sentiment of the East
without alternating the silver sentiment of
the South and West, but Matthews thinks
he can do it If the State convention will only
help him out in the manner suggested. He
finds to his great chagrin, however, that the

he was approached on the subject by

Matthews controls the State organization
and all it's efforts are being put forth TO

is extremely doubtful whether they can con-
