create no sensation by publishing let
ters from Governor Mckinley, and for
this reason: The Ohioan has written
the Kentuckian nothing that would
hurt him if put into print The fairy
stories told in this connection by any
thing to- down Mckinley papers have
been punctured by Bradley himself.
BAD FOR HIM; GOOD FOR THE
PEOPLE.
Woodland Democrat: Congressman
Hilborn has made many blunders of
late, but none so stupid as that of TAX
ing sides in the Third District contest
tor seats in the Republican National
Convention. He championed the losing
side and is likely to be defeated for re-
nomination in consequence.
UNTRUSTWORTHY CORRESPOND
ENTS.
Santa Ana Blade: The Chino Cham
pion" severely criticises the 'irrespon-
sibility and untrustworthiness of the
average correspondent of the daily
newspapers for the outside towns" and
says that it is better in many cases
that the outside towns should not be
represented in the columns Of the city
dailies. There are many people who
will heartily agree with the ideas ex-
pressed by the Champion"
CAME SOON.
San Jose Herald: Up in the San Joa-
quin Valley some of the people are al
ready kicking against the new Spreck-
els railroad. There are questions about
right-of-way, the route of the line, etc,
which excite animosity. We expected
that in due time the new road would,
like all other railroads, come in public
objuration, but hardly expected it to
come so soon.
PATENT OUTSIDES.
Placer County Republican,: A con-
temporary recently pointed out the
evils Of the patent outside to the
country publisher. Besides depriving g
such publishers Of many advertisements
that they might otherwise have. but
which are appropriated by the parties
printing these patent outsides, it allows
many Objectionable advertisers to Sc
cure space in thier columns. The coun-
try editors are awakening to this fact,
and the patent" outside will be a thing
Of the past with many Of them. A
paper which is printed entirely at home
gives the publisher the right to control
every line in it, and this is as it should
be.
DON'T NEED IT.
Napa Register: A re-enactment of
the Mckinley high tariff would not re-
vive business generally throughout the
country. Tt would benefit no one but
the protected few-those who neither
need nor deserve protection.-Journal
The fruit-growers and wool-raisers
of California neither need nor de-
serve protection" What do you think
of that, wool and fruit men? Is not
your condition bad enough to need any
help the Government can give? Have
you done anything whereby you do
not deserve any such help?
NOW THEY USE IT.
Alameda Telegram: The farmers of
California are taking to the bicycle. The
other day a farmer rode into Haywards
on wheel carrying a package of but
ter In one hand and a basket of eggs in
the other. He tied a sack Of -four to
the handle bar of his wheel and rode
home with the load. passing his neigh
Dor in a wagon.
DIGNIFIED AND PLEASING.
Marysville Appeal: The Chicago en-
remarks that Major McKin-
ley'S silence amid the chatter of the
big bosses and the little ones is digni-
fed and pleasing to the people. He is
a Republican and will stand upon the
platform OF the Republican party as it
is made at ST. Louis, and is not bossy
enough to dictate what it shall be. That
Is the business of the convention.
A CHECK FOR PROPERTY.
Colusa Sun: The wealth of nations is
by property, and money is
simply a check for property Now the
favorite argument of the silver advo-
Gates is that the United States can
make money Of its own and be, in
that regard, perfectly Independent of all
the world; and If this be true what pos
sible difference does it make what kind
of checks we use to designate what in
terest one has in the property of the
whole which he has not at the time in
his possession? The advantage of hav-
ing a check that is acknowledged the
world over is that 1t shows precisely
what interest the holder has in the
of the world which he has not
in his possession at the moment. If we
make ten checks instead Of one it does
not give the holder any greater inter
est In the property than would the one
check. If there are checks enough for
