CURRENCY LEGISLATION.
Los Angeles Times: The need for cur
rency legislation is conceded on all sides
but there are radical differences of opin-
ion as TO the course Which currency leg
islation should take. The question Will
undoubtedly come prominently before
Congress at its next session. The House,
with its large Republican majority, viii
no doubt be able to agree on some plan
of currency revision, but it is doubtful
if the concurrence of the Senate can be
secured to any measure that will pass
the House. The prospects for currency
legislation. therefore. are not very faV-
orable; which is much to be regretted, as
the importance of the financial question
should raise it above all considerations
of partisan politics, into the realm Of
unbiased and patriotic craftsmanship.

that the very liberal offer of the State
to assume nearly one-half of the total
cost of construction of the road should
not be overlooked by the voters of the
county, for. should the road be con-
structed, it will be the initial step to-
wards the advancement of the good
roads movement in this State, which
would greatly increase the value of
building sites in the cities, the gem
eral advance of farming land due to
the improved facilities for marketing
the products of the farm. In other
words, the land would be worth more,
because they would yield a greater
profit for the labor of husbandman.
But it is not alone the farmer who
would reap the benefit Good roads
would contribute incomparably more
to a prosperous condition than any
mechanic, the merchant, the general
citizen, whatever his calling. or occu-
patton, would be satisfied and delight
ed at the transformation.

| Colusa Sun: The discussion is Oh
again about the exclusion or admis-
! sion of immigration on the lines OF

| line and where to draw it? How far
/ must one have explored the republic
of letters to be able to approach the
borders of this Republic? On school
masters examination will we not reject
many good people and admit more very
bad ones? Is it not an easier and a
better test to require some certificate of
character and withal some evidence
that the person is able to take care OF
himself by some showing of lucre, filthy
though it may be? The Chinaman can
read-can stand an educational test un-
less we make it English, and many of
our own people have a way of thinking
that English is hardly a polite Ian
guage. Would not thorough French

in his pocket, make a better citizen
than pauper from the slums of Lon
don who could read the Constitution
of the United States fairly we'll in Eng

line that would seem to be insur-
mountable. But we should now seek
for more desirable immigration and
should put some proper restrictions on
