Pomona Progress: A well-known Po-
mona man said on Saturday that he had
effected more loans of money since the
election than during fully two months
prior to that time.
HOW THEY LOOK AT 1T.
Los Angeles Times: The prevailing
sentiments of the sound money Demo
Gratis who supported Mckinley Is cor
rectly and generously voiced in the fol-
lwing paragraph from the Philadelphia
"Times,'' a sound money Democratic
paper:
1.-The sound money Democrats and
Independents who supported Mckinley
for President did SO without any con-
ditions whatever. They believed his
election a supreme necessity to save the
integrity of the nation, and they voted
for him solely for that reason. They
ask no part of his patronage, no voice
in his Administration, and their only
demand is that the President they have
elected will maintain the national credit
with scrupulous fidelity. Many of
them, indeed most of them, will be likely
to differ from him on many questions,
and they will do so with the same manly

A RAP.
Fresno County Enterprise: Those in
nocent and confiding editors who are
firmly convinced that it was the women
who defeated the sixth amendment, and
who are always ready to lay any lapse
of loyalty or respect to women at the
door of their fellow women, have now
Cur tender Fluctuations. There are
women and women. Not all of that ilk
will be perfect until the millennium. We
are hardly expecting it CT the other fell
lows even then, but the shortcomings
of the few may hardly comfort our
brothers of the we" profession. The
majority are as their fancy paints them.
MURDER AND INSANITY.
Colusa Sun: How far is the plea of
Insanity to be carried as an excuse for
murder? At San Francisco not long ago
a woman by the name of Martin loaded
herself UP with a pistol and went in
search Of her husband, who had treated
her cruelty and who had failed to pro-
vide for her, although having plenty for
himself, and after begging him to go
home with her without avail, she emp
tied the pistol into his worthless car
cass. Served him right, said the whole
people, and straightway a jury is i'm
paneled and she shows momentary in
sanity and is found not guilty. On
"Wednesday last man by the name of
Miller was chasing a woman along the
street shooting at her, when a gallant
young man let her into door and un-
dertook to stop the man of murderous
intent, when he was shot and Instantly
killed. The murderer tried to turn the
weapon on himself, but it was empty
In both of these instances the murderers
were doubtless insane for the moment
the man perhaps more SO than the
woman, for she must have had some
intention of using a pistol when she put
one in her pocket and went out to look
for her worthless husband. Society
cannot protect itself and allow of such
cases going without punishment. Or
ganiZed society takes upon itself the ex-
elusive right to determine for what of
fense men may be punished, to try and
determine the degree of guilt and the
extent of the punishment, and it cannot
delegate this power to another.
HAWAIIAN ANNEXATION.
Placer Argus: Wouldn't it be about
the thing for President Mckinley, or
