Fresno Republican: There is always
q revival of business after Presiden-
tial contest no matter which side may
be successful, and why should the pres
ent one prove an ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
For example, the Presidential election
prior to the last one. The revival OF
business which followed the election OF
Grover Cleveland on a platform of free
trade and prosperity will not be forgot
ten during the life of the present gener-
alton.
SOCIAL DISCONTENT.
Alameda Telegram: A writer in the
Boston Globe gives it as his judgment
that social discomfort rather than ac-
tual want is the controlling cause OF
much of the prevailing dissatisfaction
among the rural inhabitants of the
country. If this is true, the writer OF
the Boston Globe could not have paid
the rural population of the United
States a higher compliment. The up
ward tendency of civilization is like
this: First, dissatisfaction; then asp1-
ration: then attainment. The most con-
tented people on the globe to-day are
SavageS that bask in the sun naked
and knock breadfruit Off the trees when
they are hungry.
BEET SUGAR INDUSTRY.
Santa Ana Blade: Under a Republic
can administration of national affairs
the beet sugar industry of the United
States viii be built up, and the $780,
100000 annually sent abroad for the
one article of sugar will be kept at
home and paid to American laborers.
California will get a big share of this
business, as no State in the Union has
equal facilities for the successful grow
ing of sugar beets. No county in Cali
fornia cam raise more beets to the acre
or of higher percentage of saccharine
matter than can Orange County. This
is fact, and its truth has been proven
over and over again.
HOODOOED IT.
Pasadena Star: There is a general
awakening among the better class of
Bryans supporters TO the fact that the
red flag fellows hoodooed the ticket.
The fact is that wave of enthusiasm at
the Chicago convention had an under
tow of reddish color that swamped the
whole platform.
CONGRATULATIONS
San Bernardino Times-IndeX: The
people of Illinois are especially to be
congratulated upon turning Governor
Altgeld down. His principal occupation,
when not sowing the seed of riot and
anarchy, is undoing the work of the
courts by opening the doors of the
penitentiaries and turning convicts
loose to again prey upon society. Dur
ing September the Governor restored
the rights of citizenship to 119 dis
charged convicts-three manslaughter,
nj, al 10, civ
burglars, thirty-five burglars and lar
cenists, one arson, three confidence
game, two murderers, two bigamists,
one incest, two criminal assaults, one
bribery, one embezzler, two horse
thieves and one malicious mischief.
AN INDICATION
Los Angeles Express: One of the in
dications of the revival of confidence
and progress is the presence of SO large
a number Of merchants in Chicago and
New York to purchase large stocks of
goods. The fear of the election of
Bryan and the uncertainty of a few
months ago have been removed, and
now the dealers will fill up their stocks
and boom their business. This means
an enormous expenditure of money
which will tend to a larger output by
the factories, and consequently a great
er demand for labor. Even the silver
ties are appreciating the boom to the
country in the election of Mckinley.
GOOD USES.
Oakland Enquirer: An ex-President
can be put to quite variety of uses, it
seems The articles upon the Consti-
tuition and Government which Benja-
min Harrison has been contributing to
a Philadelphia magazine are to be COL
lected, printed in book form and intro
duced in the schools as a. textbook.
A MATTER OF PURITY.
Colusa Sun: Don't fret about the pur-
fly of the ballot, but the purity of
woman must be preserved. This is
what the vote against the sixth amend
ment Observation-Disclosures -Four
Corners.
1t is strange men Of such sentiments
will not take pains to purify women
