Yreka Journal: Mr.. Bryans actions
Sihce the election do not please one wing
vi the Democracy, of which the Colusa
sun" Is representative. 1t says:
bryan broke the record Of Presidential
candidates when he went out on the
canvass for the votes there was in 1t,
and now he again breaks the record
py writing book about the canvass for
the dimes there is in it. Somehow one
mad just a leedle rather a man who has
been voted for the Presidency would
not encroach so closely on the domain
OF the ordinary fakir.''
CHINESE AND WHITES.
Los Angeles Times: Redlands is con-
graduating itself over the fact that no
Chinese are employed at any Of the
fruit-packing establishments in that
town. That is the correct and proper
thing in any event. Our first duty is
to provide suitable employment for our
own people.
A TALL HEAD.
Placerville Nugget: The Examiner"
is bowling over the arrest Of a San
Francisco newsboy for jumping on
street car to sell a paper. The howl is
a hypocritical lying one and Is prompted
only by hatred of the Southern Pacific
Company. The practice of newsbOys
jumping on and off street cars is a dan
gerous one, as the Examiner we'll
knows, has cost many a boy his legs and
his life and ought to be stopped. The
writer hereof has seen a boy killed in
the street, mangled to death in few
seconds by the wheels of a street car
doing this same thing. It was a pitiful
sight. And yet for trying to protect
him demagogical press will raise a
howl of oppression. Out upon you, liars
and quacks! Tell the truth once and see
how it seelns.-Pasadena Star.
The Star man hath tall head, Yea
verify! But he is putting too great a
task upon the aforementioned liars and
quacks. They never expect to know
how 1t seems to tell the truth. They
gave up trying a long time ago. Along
about the time that the Southern Pa
cif1c Company discovered that 1t could
not afford to be blackmailed out of $780,
600. What do they care for a boys legs
or arms or the whole boy? Their desire
for revenge is greater than all else be-
side And Of such is the alleged metro
politan journalism of California.
A FRUITLESS ATTEMPT.
Stockton Record: The attempt Is be-
ing made by Democratic papers to con-
strue the bank failures to the Repub-
lican success at the election. Still the
Government is In Democratic hands,
the laws are Democratic laws, and no
relief from Republican action can be
extended till some time after March
4th, when the new administration goes
into office. Even If an extra session of
Congress is called promptly 1t will take
some time to assemble the law-making
body and still longer to formulate and
pass needed Legislation. Then there
must be allowed time for such laws to
so into effect and to produce their re-
suits. So any direct results from the
election Of Mckinley cannot be reason
ably expected for at least six or eight
months from this date.
SANTA CLAUS.
Stockton Mail: What should be done
with the man who doesn't believe in
Santa Claus? Who would disillusion-
ize the trustful happy young mind?
There is a minister in Oakland who has
preached against the jolly, gray -whis-
kered, old fellow reindeers, sledge and
all He should be tried by the children
of his Sunday school for high treason
and be sentenced to exile from human
society by the mothers. A most Won
derful aggregation of talent Is that fur
nished by the ministerial corps of Oak
land
ELECTION CLERKS.
Stockton Independent: The code as
49, 81,
quire ballot clerks to be taxpayers. 1t
should also provide for better pay for
clerks where the number of votes in
any precinct is in excess Of a certain
maximum. In San Francisco it is very
difficult to get competent men to serve
from twenty-four hours to double that
time continuously for the amount now
paid them, hence the delay in making
returns IN that city.
WHAT HAS HE AGAINST TULARE?
Fresno Expositor: A good test Of a
mans symmetry may be made If he
stands with his face to the wall The
chest Of a perfectly formed man viii
touch the wall his nose will be four
inches away. his thighs five and the
tips of his toes three.-Santa Maria
Times.
That sort Of a test may work all right
with the Santa Maria men, but it
would not do In Tulare-, The best
formed men In that county If they put
their toes against the wall all the rest
Of them would be foot away from It,
MUST GO.
Oakland Telegram: Secretary Van
derbllt OF the State Dairy Bureau con
demns the slaughter Of cows infected
with tuberculosis. He Is reported as

slightly tainted, so long as it does not
