Expressions From the Newspapers of
Interior California.
Tulare Times: The Republican House
has censured ambassador Bayard 1t
will be remembered that a Whig Sen
ate once censured President Jackson in
much severer terms. Jackson was re-
elected. and the Whig party died of
heart failure.
GET OFF THE FENCE.
Oroville Register: No man can sit on
the fence between the contending polit-
ical parties without losing the respect of
both sides He must get down in the
turmoil and do his share of the fight
ing There are great interests at stake.
The laboring classes are clamoring for
more work, the business men are ask
ing for better times. The man who is
afraid to say what party he belongs to,
to say what measures he advocates, de-
serves to be kicked out by all. He can't
sit on the fence and cry Good Lord,
good DEVIL" and hope to be supported
by those who are in the field laboring
with might and main to uphold one
side and beat down the other.
THE HIGH BIG-HAT EVIL.
San Bernardino Sun: Every man who
has ever sat through theatrical per-
fCrmance will concede the propriety
and the necessity of a law such as these
Ohio statesmen have framed. But no
other legislative body in all this broad
land has dared to deal with this ag-
gravated evil. All honor to the brave
men, who, having wives, mothers,
daughters and sWeethearts, have dared
to do their duty even at the risk of be-
ing compelled to skulk for months in
the outskirts of their native towns be-
fore they can hope for the appeasement
of feminine indignation. May their
names be inscribed in the Temple of
Fame, and may the memory of their
self-sacrifice and heroic courage be kept
green, ever melting among men an as
sertion of those rights heretofore de-
MED them by the fair sex!
PERSONAL GRIEVANCE.
Merced Sun: The charge that the 'Ex-
aminer' was for a long time getting
$1,000 per month from the Southern Pa
cific Company for advertising and other
courtesies in the way of fair treat
ment'' has been pretty well substan-
tiated. The monthly subsidy was cut
off when $4,000 of the amount named
in the agreemnt was still due, yet the
Examiner has never brought suit to
recover that amount. In the light of
this evidence it will be difficult for the
Examiner to make the public believe
its fight against the funding bill is in
spired by any other motive than per-
sonal grievance.
A FAIR QUESTION.
San Diego Tribune: A bill has been
introduced in the British Parliament to
prohibit the publishing of such evidence
adduced at trials as might tend to in
jure public morals. Commenting on
this bill the San Francisco Cali says:
Publicity within decorouS bounds is
the most efficient of all agencies for the
prevention of evil" Exactly. But will
the Cali contend that such papers as
constitute the sensational press of San
Francisco, are fit judges of what are
the limits to such "decorous bounds"
A FALLACY.
San Diego Union: Members of the
State Bureau of Highways have finished
their tour of inspection of the State.
AS a wind-up of their labors for the
time being, they addressed a very large
good-roads meeting at Sacramento a
few evenings ago. The speeches were
much the same as those made at other
places which the Commissioners have
visited, but there was one point made
by Commissioner Irvine that is worthy
