WHERE WE ARE AT"

Colusa Sun: 1t is all coming around to
the Suns" position. All along it has
maintained the matter of funding was
simply one of business, and that the Of
ficers of the Government should do the
best possible thing for the Government
and that the howl was senseless; held
that We would have to pay just as much
as any corporation controlling the
property could make US pay, and that
whether it was per cent. interest or 10
per cent. And that as between a for
eign and a home company the interest
Of California was the latter. Now, after
all the oceans OF unadmterated hum
buggery, there is where We are at.
THE ANTI-PLEDGE BILL.
Fresno Republican: 1t is. and should
be, a distinctive right of the people that
their legislative candidates pledge
themselves TO do the things that the
people want done The public should
be permitted TO place itself In such po-
sition that it cannot be defrauded of
the thing it demands, either by l1navery
or folly. 4 legislator may be the wis
est and best man in the world, but as
some legislators are something else, he
cannot consistently object to any leash
that may be placed upon him to bind
him TO do the popular VIII. If a pledge
is obnoxious TO a candidate, let him not
give it. The refusal might result in
his defeat, but he would be a mighty
poor specimen OF a man If he should be
willing to trade his manhood for an
office. Pledged candidates sometimes
are very much needed. Dibble's bill
should be defeated
TO HANG OR NOT TO HANG.
Humboldt Standards: Assemblyu1an
Hills bill to abolish capital punishment
VIII not inset the APPROVAL OF the people
OF the State. Not more than one mur-
derer in fifty now suffers the death
penalty, and our prisons are overfiowlng
wsth men that should have been hanged
years ago. When such murderers and
outlaws as Chris Evans and others of
like character cannot be hanged after
legal trials the people Will not feel like
throwing down the bars and driving all
the re+l-handed murderers and assas-
sins into cur penitentiarieS. when
caught, tried and convicted, with the
chance left for pardon by such a Gov.
ernor as Altgeld of Illinois.
There is no reason in abolishing the
death penalty for murder unless a
thorough and sytenatic course of
reforms be inaugurated in our criminal
Jurisprudence and prison reform, which

State was i'll served by those who blind

clans. 1t became the fashion to kick

The great battle was won and the vic

must be confessed that the celebration

PRISON LABOR AND FREE LABOR
San Diego Union: To make the work
ingnlans share Of this burden as light
as possible should be the real aim in
seeking the solution of the prison labor
problem. In this state the manufac-
ture of jute and breaking Of stone for
highways are the eXpedients generally
favored. As to the former, it would
seem to conflict as little with free labor
as any other form of manufacture, and
there is a great advantage in cheap
grain bags for the farmer. ObjectiO
is made to the rock breaking part
of the plan on the ground that it is
depriving the laboring classes of just
so much work. 1t will be noted, how
ever that the persons who object do
not suggest any better method Of en-
plOying the convicts, and they fail to
take account of the fact that with an
abundance of cheap broken stone for
highways, road making Will be greatly
stimulated, with corresponding increase
of employment of the laboring classes.
California is about to enter upon an
era of road building. The cost of pro-
viding improved highways will be very
great even under the most favorable
circumstances If the heavier work of
breaking the stone is performed by
convicts, the gain to the State at large
viii be enormous, and their employ
ment in this way will probably be as
free from objection as any that can be
devised.

Stockton Record: Nevada has sunk to
the level that Louisiana occupied when
her Government was run to suit the
lottery company. Nevada wants the
prize fight and has passed a special bill
TO permit of her getting it. 1t is the
first irrefutable evidence that the
State is the rotten borough" that it
has been charged with being. When
a State sinks to the point of encour-
aging prize fights by special Acts of
the Legislature, it is getting too low
to recognize as a peer, and the first OPP
portunity should be taken to add some
purifying Territory from the outside.
What would be the matter with allow
ing Los Angeles to annex itself to Ne
vada? The southern people are said
to desire State division any way, and
the City OF Angels should be entirely

Too Much Eloqucncc.

In a recent interview with Mark

was eloquent. He draw u picture of a

Mark Twain said, III spare two of
those bills.

Ants With Pluck and I:rains.

To tie intellectually of ants, which
men like Sir John Lubbock have always

well known scientist, Professor Bona

Venetian institute. lie Loticel that the
ants used as IA Lridge tho twig Of Il tree

Gus OF reaching. He accordingly cut oil
the end of the twig so that it was I'M
possible for them to get across and then
watched.
After the lapse of half an horr. how
ever, he found that the Iroc' ssion
which he had stopped had reformed
itself. He proceeded 10 investigate the
matter, and he found that the little ants
had discovered that there was another
twig which, when it WIS blown by the
breeze, touched the wall now and then.
The army of ants lad formed up IL
line to this twig, and whenever the
breeze blew it against the wall the fore
most members of the Land took advan-
tase of the opportunity to get across.
