Gov. Atkinson is quoted as saying in
connection with his recent trip to the
west, that he found the people of Cali
fornia very much disappointed because
good times had not come. California went
republican. ''They voted FOR Mckinley"
Gays Gov. Atkinson, ION the idea that his
-election would settle things and restore
confidence. They expected a business re-
Nivsl which has not come" The repub-
Leans are not yet in power; Mckinley is
not yet President; are the Californians
not willing to give him chance? He may
not succeed in abolishing hard times. But,
In all fairness, ought he not have an OPP
portunity before judgment is passed upon
him?

A Baltimore business man, who has
been travelling in Florida, says while he
was in that state he met a number of
capitalists from all parts of the country
looking for opportunities for profitable
investments. Most of them had an eye
upon the pineapple business. The pine
apple craze has full sway In Florida now"
says he. 1T has superseded the orange
boom. Lands in the southern part of the
state below the frost line have advanced
in value more than 40 per cent. since the
great freeze Of several years ago. Pine
apple raising, it is claimed. is more prof.
table than raising oranges" Florida is
fun Of good things" in the way of in
vestments, and the capitalists will find
them, and bring barrels OF money into the
state, if the calamity howlers will keep
quiet and not scare them away.
