EXTRACTS FROM EDITORIAL
EXPRESSION OF JOURNALS
OF the State and the Coast on Sub
iects of Living and News
Interest.

The Mail of Woodland: The incendiary
language used by Debs Monday demon
strated beyond a doubt that his inten-
ton was to precipitate rebellion when
he launched the A. r. Z. railroad strike
In 1895. The firm stand taken by Cieve-
land at the time entities him to great
credit, notwithstanding his shortcom-
ings in other matters and the plank IN
the Democratic platform condemnlng
him for his timely action 1t is not TO
be wondered at that the Democrats OF
New York and Ohio are 10th to conduct
q campaign on the national platform
which contains such a reasonable
plank.
NEWSPAPER TRIAL.
Woodland Democrat: In San Fran
cisco Journalism we are afforded the
very curious spectacle of one newspaper
defending Mrs. Craven and the validity
Of her pencil deeds, and another attack
ing her character and denouncing the
deeds as forgeries. 1t appears to US that
such matters ought to be determined in
the courts. And this reminds us that
there has not been a big case In the
San Francisco courts since the Blythe
litigation began in which the news
papers have not taken sides. 1t is said
that two or three Of them had large con-
tingent fees that were dependent upon
the result of the Blythe litigation 1t
would be interesting to know just how
much of the money expended in that suit
was used to secure newspaper influence.
1t is an open secret that the long fight
over a new Postoffice for San Francisco
was wholly due to the fact that some of
the newspapers were fighting for fee
contingent upon the sale of certain
pieces of land for site. And these are
the newspapers that are constantly as
sailing the characters and impugnlng
the motives of public men, and never
lose an opportunity to discredit the in
fluence and integrity of the country
press.
EMBARRASSING.
Yreka Journal: Scrap-boo and
newspaper files are inconvenient things
to politicians who make reckless asser-
, tions. Candidate Bryan last fall pa
raded in his speeches in various parts
of the country the fact that Senator
Sherman had asserted that the growth
of population and business in the United
States required an increase of $40 000,-
600 year in the currency, and said that
the cessation of the coinage of silver had
cut off the opportunity to add this ne
cessary amount to our money. Mr.
Bryan finds this statement particularly
embarrassing just now in view of the
announcements that the coinage of the
mints of the United States this fiscal
year will be in round numbers a hun
dred million dollars, and that in the
calendar year 1896 ninety-nine million
dollars, which is two and a half times as
much as he last fall asserted was neces-
sary to keep pace with our growth Of
population and business. When it is
further considered that the money cir
culation of the United States to-day is
$13S, 600 600 greater than a year ago. it

Dr. Sternberg is about 66 years Of
age. He was graduated as an M. D.
as long ago as 1860 from that ancient
and honorable body. the College of
Physicians and Surgeons Of New York
and at once became a surgeon in the
United States army. His first expert
ence was with the army of the Poto-
mac. Later he was sent to Florida,
where he made his first and most inti-
mate acquaintance with yellow fever
Since that time he has been an author
ity on that disease. In 1885 he attended
the international convention on sanita-
tion, held at Rome, as the representa-
tive of the United States. DR.. Stern
berg has by his microscopic investiga-
tions and his literature of bacterfologv
been of vast aid to the medical pro-
fession. He is now Surgeon General
of the United States army.

unbounded astonishment. So great is
Jungrau's reputation for inexorable i'm
passability that it was at first regarded
as utterly impracticable.
But Guyer-Zeller quickly put it in a
new light when he explained that he
meant to run his cars through a tun-
mel bored through the solid rocky heart
of the mountain from the village of
Scheidegg to the summit and that the
wild storms and perpetual SHOWS of the
upper levels could never interfere with
it's workings.
Extensive surveys were made and
heated arguments were indulged in. In
the fall of 1894 the Government con-
sented to the concession. Work was
begun the following spring.
The tiny village of Scheidegg lies at
the foot of Eiger, the smallest of the
three great peaks Of Jungfrau. 1t is
there that the road begins. 1t will lie
on the surface for a considerable dis
tance, winding in and out over con-
venient Lodges and approaching the
great mountain by serpentine course.
Then it will plunge into the solid rock,
traversing a tunnel for a while, to
emerge again into open air at a higher
altitude, and frequently disappear
again.
These glimpses of mountain scenery
will be wild and glorious in the extreme
and the passenger will become fright
ened long before he really attains an
appreciable altitude.
The first station will be Eigerglets-
cher, part way up the slope of Eiger
and ESQ meters above sea level. Up
to this point no special engineering
difficulties will be met. 1t will be a
simple ascending railroad varied with
few short tunnels.
A magnificent outlook will be had
from this station, which will doubtless
prove to be a very popular excursion
resort. One looks forward over a su-
perb view of Alpine scenery stretching
for many miles, and backward upon the
massive walls of Jungfrau, which here
appear to be absolutely impossible of
ascent.
Leaving Eigergletscher, the road will
skirt the mountain for a short distance
and finally plunge into its heart. A
strong curve will carry it to the left
in a steep ascent up the cliff of Eiger,
sometimes emerging to show the trav-
eler view of immense extent and
majesty, and again plunging into the
rock. Thus it winds up the snowless

Mr.. NEEDLES
SPEECH.

The Chicago Tribune" gives a
synopsis of Mr.. Needles speech
against the Anti-Department
Store bill, when it was up for
consideration in the Illinois Leg
islature:
''Mr. Needles dealt the bill one
vigorous blow by declaring that
the best lawyers in the State had
pronounced it unconstitutional,
and followed it up by some sem
timental raps, hardly less vigor-
Gus, however, to the effect that
the department stores are patron
lied by the poor people, and that
in all the large cities of the
world, in New York, London, Par
is, and other cities, their patrons
are invariably the poor. Mr.. Nee
dies evidently has been a fre-
quenter of department stores. He
finds that their employees are not
pale-faced unhappy creatures,
but fresh-faced, buxom, happy
girls engaged in earning an hon
est living and helping to support
widowed mothers. With such ar
guments, tending to show that
the bill was more against the
common people than against the
rich, Mr.. Needles had no difficulty
in showing it's injustice"
