WHAT THEY WANT.
Kern Echo: DR.. Castle is doing just
what the men who voted for him want
ed him to do. He is not in Washington
to give his assent to the ridiculous
proposition that the mass of the people
can be benefited by increasing the cost
of the necessaries of life-Visalia
Times.
Call it ridiculous" or what you
please, the people of the Seventh Dis
trict want to see a good stiff tariff on
wool and the products of the tree and
vine, and the doctor did not aid in
securing that when he roared out
against every form of tariff protection.
Sensible people know that tariff
schedule represents a great deal of
give and take, and one who says Il
must have this but is willing to yield
nothing to other sections of this COM
mon country in return is not an eff
fectual force in securing tariff adyant-
ages for his constituents.
DEMOCRATIC VIEW.
Oroville Mercury: The Republican
administration is about a month old,
but in that brief time it has so clearly
foreshadowed its policy of fostering
trusts and monopolies at the expense
of the people that nobody need labor
under any misrepresentation of it's real
character. The people administered a
rebuke at the very first opportunity, the
force and significance Of which cannot
be misunderstood.
This first opportunity was presented
at municipal elections held in Ohio and
elsewhere. The result is astonishing.
In the Presidents own State the Dem
ocrats made almost clean sweep. The
Dingley tariff was on trial and it was
condemned in such an emphatic man
ner that terror has tricken the Repub-
lican Senators, and when they get
through with it the author of the bill
will not be able to recognize his own
offspring.

Los Angeles Times: The importance
of the pure food crusade, in which the
Manufacturers and Producers Associ-
alton of San Francisco has been so COM
mendably active, should be recognized
by everyone who wishes to see Califor-
MIA secure the credit due her for the
excellence and purity of her food prod
ucts. San Francisco has succeeded in
making it very hot for those who con-
jure with the word California for the
purpose of aiding them to secure market
for inferior and adulterated goods, but
the result of the agitation in that city
goes to show that one city in the State
cannot cope with the evil alone, for the
rejected goods, driven from the larger
markets, find their way into the inte-
rior. A plan is now considered for
holding pure food congress at San
Francisco on the 30th of this month, at
which each county and city is to be
represented by delegates, and the State

A party claiming to be the rep

Co. of Philada., several weeks ago
called on Eugene A. Reynolds,
principal of the public school at
Principle Furnace. He stated that
he was soliciting orders for the
"Encyclopadic Dictionary" which
was to be paid for on the install
ment plan, with payment of 50. 50
in advance. AS Mr.. Reynolds was
acquainted with the publishing
house and desired copy of the
work he signed the contract and
made the required payment. After
waiting a reasonable time he wrote
to the Syndicate Pub. Co. and was
informed by them that the party
was an imposter as they had no
agents in this section. They asked
for a description of the man and
promised to try and locate him and
if successful will prosecute to the
full extent of the law. Meanwhile

A Disgraceful Mob.

On Thursday evening of last
week the colored people of this
vicinity rented the Town Hall for d
dance and their actions that night
were the worst this town has had to
bear for many a year. Before mid
night whiskey and hard cider began
to be in evidence and the residents
on all sides of the hall were awak-
ened by oaths and fighting which
grew worse and worse until nearly
daylight. While the pandemonium
was at its height one of the partic-
ipants threw heavy tumbler and
struck another rioter in the face,
cutting a terrible cash. Then with
the blood streaming from him, the
wounded darby was taken to a
physicians Office nearby, leaving a
trail of blood from the hall to the
residence. The doctor stitched up
the wound and the mob returned to
the street in front of the hall where
fighting and swearing were resumed
until nearly daybreak.
The next morning the commits
sioners issued a number of warrants
and constable Briscoe succeeded in
arresting two out of the many dis
turbers of the peace. Alex. Jack
sou, the one who was cut in the
face, was found in a hay loft nearby
and was brought before Squire Tay-
lor, his clothes in tatters and Gov
cred with blood. He was fined
$3.50. Walter Brown was also To-
Gated and fined $3.50. Most of the
others live over the State line and
have not been apprehended yet.
Isn't it about time these colored
balls were stopped in town? If
they can't dance without having a
drunken spree, then stop the
dances.

Thomas Gregg, a prominent

interment being made at Sharp's

The Shoe Factory.

The Rising Sun shoe factory has
progressed so far and has assumed
so favorable an aspect, that we feel
safe in assuming that the enter
prise will be an accomplished fact.
A meeting was held in DR.. Kirk Is
hall on Wednesday evening when
Mr.. Delaney was present with
samples of the line of shoes he
makes, which were much admired
by all present. Mr.. Cherry, an
expert in shoes, being large deal
er in that class of goods, pro-
nounced a most favorable opinion
of the workmanship and material,
which served to strengthen the
already favorable opinion of the
enterprise.
The canvassing committee report
ed $4,000 subscribed and promised
which was certainly virtually in
hand, with one thousand more Sin
sight" and the balance they said
they had in mind at least. The
outlook was so promising that the
meeting generally considered that
the cup hill" work had been accom-
plished and the down grade to
success was all that remained. The
enterprise is certainly one of the
most promising ever offered to this
community, with fewer drawbacks
and more encouraging features
about it than any of the many
which have from time to time been
talked of and attempted.
We believe it is safe to say the
factory will be started and that the
project will be profitable venture
from every point of view. Mr..
Delaney, the manager, has the ad-
vantage of y years of practical
experience which is the best invest
ment that can be placed in any en-
terprise. Three hundred dollars
in cash in the matter of wages dis
tributed weekly in the town and
neighborhood is a prize which is
doubly tempting in these dull times,
fact which our citizens seem at
last to fully realize. Mr.. Delaney.

University Extension Lectures.

The subject of course of Uni
versity extension lectures for the
coming winter is being considered
by Elkton people. This class of
lectures is as entertaining, and
much more instructive, as the the
popular lecture" which latter are
more on the pyrOtechnic order than
instructive. There is another field
for the lecturer which has not yet
been utilized and would prove to be
still more useful and instructive to
the intelligent, rising generation,
namely, the political, economic and
social relations of the nations,
ancient and modern, of the world.
Comparatively few people know
that the government of the United
States is experimental, that the
worlds history shows that nothing
was ever attempted in the way of a
national government anything near
like it. Jefferson was almost alone
in advocating a popular form of
government, among its founders,
the majority inclined to doubt the
capacity of the people for self
government and favored ''limited
monarchy" and there are thous-
ands at this day, after more than a
century, doubt the peoples fitness
for self government and are bend
ing every effort to clandestinely
change our system and bring it
nearer to some of the old world sys-
tens, especially that of Great
Britain.
There is a wide field untitled
for the university extension lecture,
and as rich in knowledge as the
KlOndike is in gold.
