ical and Current.

San Bernardino Times-Index: Pessi-
mists to the contrary notwithstanding,
the day will come when Sa4
dino will rank foremost among the
cities OF California, not alone in indus
trial development and commercial i'm
portance, but in ethical culture as
well. Lyceums will flourish, musical,
dramatic and literary activity will be
developed. The esthetic sentiment will
f1nd inspiration and will be given ex-
preston in beautifying the homes and
thoroughfares. Our churches and our
schools will be our proudest boasts. Iae
development of our latent natural re-
sources, the establishment of industries
that will utilize the products of fields
no longer untitled, are all y THU the
range of the city's manifest destiny.
A WITNESS.
Riverside Press: A venerable gentle
man who has spent the larger portion
of his life in the most populous coun-
try where silver is exclusively in use
lndla-speaking of the contention over
the matter Of currency in this country,
said to US the other evening: 81 do not
understand the strange interest in Sc
curing the substitution here Of silver
for gold" To our question as to what
he considered the strongest objection
to the white metal, he repl ed: I'VE
have found in India the greatest OBJ
lection to be it's fiuctuating value. 1t
has no stability, and rises and falls
with the ranging value of the bullion.
1t is more stable in value in India since
coinage has closed He intimated a
belief that reasonable coinage having
the backing of the American Govern
ment could circulate within the limits
or American territory without depre-
citation, but how unl'm ted coinage
would work he did not know, although
the experience in silver countries with
which he was familiar would all seem
to argue conclusively against the ex-
treme policy urged by many Americans
regarding silver.
HOW IT WILL END.
Los Angeles Times: This years cam
paIgn Will end in a new and better era
lor our people-plenty Of work and
good wages, paid for in sound money,
worth 100 cents on the dollar
ALTGELD.
Oakland Enquirer: Civilization re-
ceives a black eye in Illinois when the
Democratic party not only renominates
Altgeld, the anarchists friend, for Gov
error. but does it by reclamation, every
one rising, and the audience going
wild with delight" his speech before
the convention being frequently inter-
1upted by furious demonstrate of
applause"
ACCURACY.
Placerville Nugget: Some newspaper
correspondents have reckless way Of
reporting things. AS an instance. take
the reports of the execution Of the
Kanaka last Friday. He is reported in
the. telegraphic dispatches as having
denied his guilt to the last" Those
who claim to know say that he admitted
the killing in the Jail here, though he
pleaded that whisky was the cause
Of course it isn't particularly material
in this instance, but it goes to show the
public that it need not expect too much
from a man or class Of men whose in
come depends on the number of words
they get into a story.
EXCEPT
Redding Free Press: The Republican
party is opposed to the free coinage Of
silver except BY international agree
ment. We are family Of nations with
| intercourse as such, and the only posi-
