zen Misrepresentation, is frothing at
the mouth over the Union Pacific sale.
1t will be noted that this ghost dance
outbreak has for running mate young
boom for Mcguire for Governor. The
distorted dispatches of the ''Fakeam-
iner' are downed by the statement Of
the Acknowledgement that the Govern
ment will get every dollar due it on the
Kansas Pacific claim. With the true
instinct of petty larceny Democratic
politics, the Examiner, taking adj
vantage of an anti-railroad sentiment,
| is trying to create campaign capital
and an impression for Mcguire. 1t is
piling mud on McKenna to build a
! throne for Mcguire, who under the pro-
tecting aegis of the great Hearst Hoo
doc, Will surely find his name inscribed
thereon as Mud" written by the same
hand that didn't carry California for
Bryan year ago this November.
THE INDIAN TROUBLES.
Fresno Republican: At this distance
it looks very much as if the conflicts
| between the Indians and Game War
dens in Northern Minnesota We're de-
| libepately brought about by the brutal
white men. The treatment the Indians
are receiving grows worse and worse
year after year. If white man lusts
| after what the red man possesses the
latter must give it whether he will or
not. The record of our negotiations
| with the Indians is one of inhumani:y Y
and broken pledges
THEY ARE OVER.
Pasadena News: The Dingley law is
filled to overfiowing with tariff, but is
very short on revenue. Democratic
measure that is short on tariff and long
on revenue is infinitely to be preferred
Los Angeles Herald.
This Democratic theory lis partially
answered by the following: 1T is prob
able that the tariff receipts under the
Dingley bill will increase in proportion
as the vast volume of goods imported
in anticipation of it's passage is lessen
ed.--Chicago Qll) Inter Ocean, Oct. )
1897"
And it is wholly refuted by the state
ment of fact that the days of deficits
are over, and Democratic deficits will
be paid off by the collections from the
Republican tariff.
WHY THE MOB SPIRIT EXISTS.
Los Angeles Express: Patrick Flan-
nelly of Redwood City murdered his
| father upon little or no provocation,
this week. and then shot and killed
the Sheriff who went to arrest him.
| Flannelly was captured and placed in
jail at Redwood City. When the peo-
pie of the towns heard of the Sheriff
death, the jail was surrounded by a
mob and the murderer would have been
| lynched if he had not been spirited
away to San Jose by the authorities
The provocation was great and in
view of the existing conditions in this
State it was not strange that the lynch
ing spirit should have been aroused.
| There can be no conditions that war
rant the substitution of mob law for
the administration of justice. The
lynching habit is not to be tolerated.
Why did mob surround the Red
wood City Jail and seek F'lannelly's
life? 1t was not because the people
of California communities are blood
| thirsty, or because they are enemies
to law and order. They do not like
| lynching for lynching's sake But.
there is no act without a cause. and
in this case we shall not have to seek
far to find the source of the mob spirit
as it was manifested at Redwood City.
There are now in the California peni-
/ tentiaries no less than ten condemned
murderers. They have been given full
and fair trials and convicted according
! to the law and the evidence in their
cases Still they have not duly suffered
/ the penalty of their crimes The law
has been perverted and distorted until
1t has become a protection to the very
men it was designed to punish. This ia
why there was mob of angry men
| gathered around the Redwood CITY Jail
yesterday, demanding the life of mur-
/ derer Flannelly. Let justice be sure
and reasonably swift, and we shall have
no more such scenes
SATISFIED.
| Riverside Press: The railroad mon
who last year organized for the sup
port Of Mckinley, protection and sound
money, have good reasons to be salts
| fled with the result of their work. The
gross earnings of the railroads of the
country for the year just ended are
shown to be ST5, 5,000.00 greater than the
preceding year, the number of people
employed greatly increased, and wages
| already advanced in many cases.
L II IL hA1SlN BO SIN ESS.
/ Oakland Enquirer: 1t has always
been clear that the great objection 10
| raisins was their seeds, and it is a
! greater objection than ever since ap-
pendicitiS has come to be so much
/ dreaded. In California we have
| learned how to seed raisns by machin-
cry and TO put them on the market in a
condition to endanger no ones internal
system, but, strange to say the public
was slow in approaching this prepared
product. 1t has established its market
at last, however, and from New York it
| is reported that four hundred car loads
of seeded raisins will be needed this
year. The future of the raisn business
is frightened a good deal by this.
GIVE THE MONEY!"
/ Ukiah Republican Press. Secretary
/ Wilson proposes to ask Congress for
more money in order that he may en-
large the scope and usefulness of his
department. He is much more likely
to get what he asks than any of his
| predecessors would have been if they
! had made a similar request: first, be-
cause it is believed that he is by far
the best man who has ever occupied
/ the position, and secondly, because the
country is much more alive than ii has
has been to the Importance of sustain
i ing and building up our agricultural in
terests. 1t has always been fashionable
| for the politicians TO say when cam
paigning for votes in the agricultural
districts that everything depends upon
/ the farmers, and nobody has disputed
that theory. We have all been willing
at least to go as far as to say that
