TRADE AND BUSINESS.
| Visalia Delta: While trade and bust
| ness reports of a single week may not
/ always be true indication Of the gen.
eral trned of affairs. a review covering
greater period gives US something on
which to base our estimate. The total
number of failures in the first nine
months Of the present year were 1888,
and the total liabilities only Sis, 4S4, =
| 600. The number of failures was IL
per cent. less than during the first nine
months of 1896, and the liabilities We're
! 80 per cent. less than during the same
period last year. These figures show a
healthful condition of business affairs,
a material Improvement in conditions
generally, and a strong symptom Of re-
turning prosperity.
BUSINESS IN FINE FETTLE.
Los Angeles Express: There is no
stay to the onward progress of the
| business world. Al influences seem to
work together for the benefit of the
American farmer, manufacturer, arti-
san and laborer.
| The commercial centers where clear
ng-house reports show a decrease
seem fated to be limited to six. New
! Orleans is the only one of any Signifi-
canoe, and the yellow fever quarantine
fully explains why business is dull at
that point. Memphis is the next larg-
| est city showing a falling off of clear
ances as compared with a year ago,
and no doubt the same influence affects
business there. The fifty cities show
ing an increase include all the great
! business centers, from Boston and New
York westward to Chicago and St.
Louis, and then to the Pacific Coast,
where all the reports are good. The net
increase for the whole country is 30
per cent.
All the material interests Of the
country report business good. There
has been a reactionary movement in
stocks, but this kind of dealings is
merely speculative, and the great adj
vances made in the prices Of most
shares in three months quite natural
| ly lead to conservative views as to the
future. In actual industries every
feature is of the most encouraging ma
ture. Railroads are all doing a great
business, and their net earnings for
| September were above recent averages.
RAISE A FEW BETS.
Marysville Appeal: There are acres
upon acres of land surrounding Marys-
vile in Yuba and Suffer Counties that
are adapted to the culture of the sugar
beet.
I'M m il1C xxh a
can produce in the way of sugar beets
experiments must be made. Secretary
of Agriculture Wilson proposes to dis
tribute several tons of the seed for ex-
detrimental work, and those desiring to
| take up this matter can be accommo-
dated by applying to him, or address
ing Claus Spreckels, San Francisco,
who will test the beets when grown, as
well.
1t is all very we'll to cling to wheat.
This year and next wheat is bound to
be a good CROP after this period how
ever, it may be gamble. Now is the
time to experiment with sugar beets,
that when the time comes to enter into
the culture upon an extended scale the
counties of Yuba and Suffer may have
all the necessary data at hand.
Plant small patch to beets and tend
them well.
Sugar beets may lead the farmers of
California out Of the wilderness one of
these days.
A LIVELY PLAN.
Tulare Register: The social democ-
| racy" of Chicago has met and emitted
a sniff at all things that are and has
resolved to have all things as they
never were. Nobody is to own a build
ing which cost more than $4,000;
those of more value now standing to be
burned. Persons whose ways or pos
sessions render them obnoxious to this
new breed of reformers are to be killed
off or cleared out in some way. The
business to be fostered is the combined
grocery and saloon on the corner, While
the governing class is to come from
those who get all their information
from the gang which hangs around
them. This will form an ideal social and
political condition from the standpoint
of those who have helped neither them
selves or others, but are stopping over
with dissatisfaction at what others
have done. And yet these upheavals
are not to be laughed at. Intelligent
patriots have found that a campaign
of education for a few weeks when an
election is pending is scarcely sufficient
to overcome the mischievous work
which has been wrought while wise
men have slept. Methods Of good gov
eminent need to be taught continually
through press, pulpit and rostrum, lest
error become so deeply rooted that seri-
Gus trouble will follow. Were patriot
ism as active as disorder there would
be less difficulty in a proper settlement
of the problems which arise from time
to time under popular government.
That tired, 1anguid feeling indicates
a lack of vitality in the current Of
life" the blood. Hoods Sarsaparilla
changes all this by purifying. vitaliz
ing and enriching the blood.
