Tulare Register: All England is
making great preparations for the dla-
mond anniversary of the Queens ac-
cession to the throne to take place IN
June but some unpleasant features are
manifesting themselves. All along
the proposed route poor people nave
been evicted from their rented homes
in order that rich folks might secure
rooms having windows fronting on the
route of the procession An act pre-
venting all evictions until after the
event seems likely to pass Parhament
and, in justice to British sentiment be
it said. these evictions have been un-
sparingly condemned.
BEET SUGAR.
The Mail Woodland: Advocates of
the beet-sugar industry are delighted
over the new tariff bill, and predict
that the next few years will see a Won
derful dey elopment in the production
of beet sugar in the United States. Men
who have made careful study of the
beet-Sugar question for many years de-
clare that if this bill becomes a law.
beet-sugar factories will spring up all
over the western and northwestern
country and that a large proportion of
the sugar of the United States will in
a very short time be produced by the
farmers of that section. The bill is
more satisfactory to the beet
sugar proposition than had been eX-
pected by the most ardent friends of
that industry.
A HARD-PAN BASIS
Los Angeles Herald: What do we
mean by prosperity" which SO many
are predicting for the immediate fu
ture and for which we all are hoping,
no matter what party brings it? There
never was a better time to stop self
deception.
If we are looking forward to a re-
turn and continuance of some things
we have seen, we shall be disappoint-
ed. Heretofore we have looked at
ourselves as the central point of civili-
zation, the point of departure of all
other lines which all weaken as they
diverge farther from our own glorious
selves. We have thought We could do
many things that other people could
not: that we could enjoy a thousand
things that nature forbids to other
people; that our average citizens could
travagance because they were Amer
leans. We have carried this even to
the extent of believing that the Amer
lean farmer should raise wealth while
the farmer of every other country is
limited, of course, to the raising of
food
This may be patriotism. 1t may not
be ignorance Admitting, however,

laws that govern the rest of the world,
who can explain many of the great
changes that have taken place in the
last thirty-five years? Every one of
over fifty can remember that it was
common for a young couple of the high
est responsibility to get married with
out cent on either side. Getting
married to save money was an every
day expression and surer in it's results
than mining, real estate speculation
and most other lines of business to-
day. Cant afford to get married.
was then an almost unknown phrase.
How is it to-day? 1t is far worse in
the East than in the West. Got to
keep up with the procession is the
supreme idea. and to it matrimony and
other social duties, customs and en-
JoymentS must DOW.
THAT TREATY.
Stockton Independent: The proposed
treaty with Spain by which provision is
to be made that an American citizen of
foreign birth who returns to the place
of his birth and there remains continu
ously two years shall be deemed to
have renounced that citizenship, is
wise. 1t should take the form of part
of the naturalization laws of this Gov
ernment and be made TO apply to all
naturalized citizens.
AN UNJUST CHARGE.
Marysville Appeal: The greatest dis
appointment which the enemies of the
Republican party have met with in at
tempting TO analyZe the Dingley bin is
the fact that they are not able to
scream, Sugar Trust" They remem-
ber painfully the scandal which attach
ed to the Wilson law, through which
the sugar trust benefited enormously,
and had hoped that the publication of
the Dingley bill would furnish them
basis for the cry, You're another" but
the most ingenious and unscrupulous
effort to charge friendship for the sugar
trust upon the Dngley bill fails utter
y
lar with the subject assert that that
measure is not only free from suspicion
of this character, but will result ad-
versely to trusts and combinations
which have fiourished under the Wilson
law
NOT REWARDED SUFFICIENTLY.
Woodland Democrat: country

votes a great deal of labor, time and
