CALIFORNIA; VOICE.

The resolutions adopted by the Legisla-
ture condemning the Powers Gear bill now
before Congress and favoring the immedi-
ate collection of the Pacific roads debts on
maturity, is in the fullest sense the voice of
California. 1t is an official expression
of the sentiments of the great majority
of the people of the State and as such it
is entitled to respectful consideration
from every member of Congress.
The resolutions go further than a mere
condemnation of the funding bill. They
ask on behalf of the State of California
Tor hearing before the respective CON-
mittees of Congress having jurisdiction Of
the subject. They request that the bill now
before the House be recommitted and ac-
ton delayed until such hearing can be
provided.
1t is not at all probable that the request
for hearing will be granted by the
House, inasmuch as that body has already
fixed upon the time for the consideration
of the bill and arranged the programme
for debate and for taking vote. Never
theless the petition will have its weight in
determining the action of considerable
number OF Congressman when the vote is
taken. There is. moreover, chance that
the petition will receive favorable consid-

EARLY DAYS IN KANSAS.
Washington Post.

"Many people are unaware" said Repre-
sentative Curtis of Kansas yesterday, that
Kansas had shibboleth in border State
times. In 1854, when the first tide of New
England settlers began TO drift into the South
west. it is related that the Missourians tied
COW at each crossing of the Missouri River.
When an emigrsnt arrived at the crossing he
was certain to make some remarks bout the
animal. II he SAID cow he was suffered to
cross, but if he said 'keow' he was hustled out
OF the country as u bloody minded aboli-
ZIONIST. In retaliation for this the Kansans
an emigrant crossed who called it bear he
was welcomed with open arms, but if ne pro-
nounced it bar he was scooted back into Mis-
souri, as an unweleome slavery advocate"

THERE ARE Two KINDS.
THE OLD JOURNALISM COMPARED WITH THE
New, OF WHICH THE EXAMINER Is A
LEADING EXPONENT

LEADING EXPONENT.
San Fra ncisco Chronicle.
The "old journalism is not approved by the
"new journalism" And for cause.
The old journalism, of which the New York
Herald is the foremost American type, was
sending relief expedition into Africa, which
opened up continent, while the new journal
ism was confined to the office of the Police
Gazette
When the way seemed open to reach the
north pole through Boring Sea. the old jour
nalism sent the Jeanette to find it. while the
new Journalism was con tent to make salacious
pictures of the New York dives.
The world was appalled, by the misrule in
Ireland, and the old journalism, still repre-
sented at its best by the New York Herald,
opened subscription for the Land League,
which it headed with 100000 Meanwhile
the latest essay in new journalism, the New
York Truth, had forged the Morey letter.
A bloody civil war broke out in Chile. The
old journalism sent its correspondents to de-
scribe it and printed daily reports which the
London Times felt obliged to copy and which
the new journalism made no effort to rival.
The latter was too busy describing the we'd
ding hosiery OF New York bellies.
The old journalism spends its money with.
out stint in the collection and publication OF
the news The new journalism never avoids
lie if the lie is well told nor loses chance to
print fake If tho fake is sensational. 1t
makes murderers of innocent men, acquires
vast calculations with nod to the affidavit
maker, takes criminal cases out of the hands
OF the jury and tries them in It's own columns.
The new journalism is found in every saloon,
gambling den, brothel and waterfront dive.
and in nine cases out of ten it is the first re-
lief, except drink, that jailbird Graves
when he has served his tt me and is about to
be turned loose on the community.
The old journalism is honest, decent enter
prising, respected and profitable. The new
journalism shines and smells and smells and
shines like rotten maekerel in the moonlight,
and after making the highways odorous for
season is plowed under for compost

and as consequence men in all depart
ments of industry and in all States OF the
Union are now united in sustaining the
Republican policy of protection. This
gives assurance to the belief that the tariff
issue will be eradicated from politics, and
that with the enactment of thoroughly
comprehensive protection measure by the
next Congress, this long debated question
Will cease to disturb our industries or in
terfere with the enterprises of our people.
The free-traders in the committee were
not let leg to stand on. They attempted
to obtain from the farmers who asked for
protection an admission that the protec-
tive tariff would increase the price to the
consumer, but even in this they failed.
AS an illustration of how the point was
met, it is sufficient to cite the answer
made by Congressman Bowers to the
statement that an increa Sc i'll the duty on
fruit would raise the price. In reply to
the suggestion Mr.. Bowers said that the
fruit-growers OF California would guaran-
tee to increase production and decrease
prices, and to confirm the guarantee he
pointed out the well-known fact that such
had been the case in the past
The only objection made to increased
duties came from representative of the
produce merchants of New York City, who
asked for low duty Oh early vegetables.
His argument was that these goods being
imported from tropical countries would
not come into competition with the prod
ucts OF American soil, which rlpened later
than those of the tropic islands. Whether
this plea is good or not, it is significant
that it was the only objection made to
protection to American agriculture. 1t
came not from farmer but from mer-
chant, and thereby emphasized the fact
that the farmers as body have become
thorough protectionists.
