Santa Ana Blade: There will not be
any more elections, thank God, for
nearly two years, and the man who
stops his paper because it don't support
his candidate" or agree with him on
all points will have nearly two years IN
which to renew his subscription and
forget all about his grievance.
GREECE.
Los Angeles Herald: Greece is living
up to her glorious traditions and is will
ing toasacrifice herself in desperate
effort for the cause of right. The IN
surgents" are concentrating their forces
at Arta on the west coast, which is but
twenty-four hours journey from
Athens The three divisions of the
Turkish army are stationed at Salonica,
Elassona and Janina in Macedonia The
last-named city, according to the
treaty of Berlin, rightfully belongs to
Greece, and the ''irregulars" are plan
ming it's capture. The first naval en-
gagement will in all probability be off
Salonica. In the meantime the Powers
are inclining to a move granting the
Cretans autonomy with power to
choose their own Governor. This is
precisely what Crete and Greece have
been asking for all along, but the move
has been so desperately slow that in all
probability it will now be too lote to
avert war

lutionized the wheat growing methods
of the world. Her people invented
headers, combined harvesters, perfected
the gang plow and made wheat growing
immensely profitable in countries that
have since competed with California in
the production of wheat almost to the
destruction of the industry and the i'm
poverishment of those engaged in it.
The world has been immensely the
gamer, but the good our inventors did
has been hard for California farmers to
bear
SAN FRANCISCO'S CARNIVAL
Santa Rosa Press: San Francisco has
abandoned the Golden Gate carnival
project, those having the matter in
charge giving as an excuse for that ac-
tlon the lack of subscriptions. Many
never seriously believed that San Fran
cisco would carry out its grand carni-
val scheme. 1t was conceived in a
glamor and grandeur that usually ex-
pends all it's force in talk. The metrop-
Oils was going to surpasS everything
ever before attempted in the floral
line. 1t was to be a carnival that would
make all other carnivals crowded into
one appear insignificant in comparison
Herewith. 1t looked easy on paper,
and the promoters made a wonderful
success OF it until they started in the
actual work; then they realized the
magnitude of the task before them,
and they soon quit. Had they been
equipped with the experience many
others have had they would have ap-
preciated the undertaking before them.
They would have known that to give
q floral festival in a city as large as San
Francisco, that would be as much a
credit to it as the carnivals were a
credit to the smaller towns would be
almost an impossibiity. Some of the
most beautiful features of Santa Rosa S
carnivals were the store decorations,
and many came from miles just to see
them But all the flowers in a county
Grafton of stores Of a great city, and it
was no doubt wise on the part of San
Francisco to abandon the scheme.
EASTERN TRADE OUTLOOK.
Marysville Appeal: In its general
aspect, the condition of trade exhibits
some hopeful features. At the mo-
ment there is check to operations
from the uncertainty about the prices
OF wide ranges of goods. growing out
of the impending changes of tariff. The
extraordinary floods in the Mississippi
Valley have also an interrupting effect
