Is the Government to go on coming this

! There are many questions involved in
this silver problem. but we think the
one here stated is the most interesting
and the least discussed. 1t is avoided
! by both independent free coiners and
/ international bimetallists in a way
which is hardly honest, and which ex-
/ poses them to the just criticism of the
greenbackers and fiatists.
RAISING THE STANDARD.
! Yreka Journal: Commissioner But
terworth hasn't lost any time in be-
standard of practice before the United
States Patent Office. Eight attorneys
/ have recently been disbarred from
practice before that office for not con-
Quoting their business under honorable
methods, and the Washington firm of
John Wedderburn & Co, has been or
| dered to show cause why it should not
be disbarred for having made "fraudu-
! lent, deceptive and improper searches
with intent to defraud and the result of
/ defrauding clients, to their injury: and
| wrong doing, to the scandal and re-
proach of the Patent Office, and con-
trary to equity and good morals" and
for other causes.
ARBITRATION AND STRIKES.
! Fresno Republican,: The general ex-
preston of public men in favor of ar
bitration as a means of settling labor
/ strikes eyixr
ship will yet point the way to the en-
actment of a general arbitration law
| for the settlement of difficulties be-
! tween labor and its employers. The
loss and suffering resulting from
strikes should be a strong incentive to
! both labor and capital to willingly re-
sort to the equitable method of arbitra-
ton. The great coal strike now de-
clared, should be speedily terminated
through this means, and will be if both
! sides are willing to submit their cause
for equitable decision
SATAN'S WORK.
| Alameda Argus: Satan has been
laying out the work for some idle hands
down Los Angeles way. Mrs. Brad
| bury, rolling in wealth, runs off with a
/
old way of pistols and coffee, in ravel-
ment of such tangles, is not wholly
| bad. And a nunnery or tannery, or
some such place, would be a good ad-
Junct. Courts are wholly inadequate
! to set these things right. All they ac-
complish is to blacken other innocent
lives which come within the purview
through ties OF relationship
A VALUABLE SYMPOSIUM.
Oakland Tribune: The State Board
of Trade has made an innovation upon
the usual methods of presenting the ad-
| VantageS of California They have
published book advertising the re-
sources Of the State that will interest
the people Of California. Heretofore
the effort has been solely to induce a
desirable immigration by indiscrimi-
nate laudatfon of our productive capac-
1ty, our climate, and our illimitable in
dustrial possibilities. Everything that
has been written about California as a
place of residence was conceived with
a single purpose to the edification and
| instruction of the nonresident. Never
before has the Californian been consfd-
cred in boom literature" 1t seems
to have been taken for granted that
| there was no necessity for Informing
the citizen of the State or instructing
him regarding the resources of his soil.
climate, and latent or dormant capabil-
| tiles
The California State Board of Trade
has adopted another, and it is believed,
better plan for advancing the inter-
ests of California. The handsome vol
ume which they have just issued is a
compact resume of the salient features
| of every industry that ample expert
ment has proved will succeed in west
! of the Sierra Nevada Each article is
| by authority of an expert for whose
ability every Californian can vouch and
on whose knowledge and Judgment
| Californians can depend. In conse-
quence this book will be sent out of
| the State by Californians of every sec
tion with personal Endorsement of its
worth, veracity and absolute value as
a compedium of the varied capabili-
! ties of California. This result is
achieved by compelling a personal in
| terest in the enterprise. The book has
/ been written primarily for Californians
on the hypothesis that their indorse-
ment will materially advance its pur-
| pose.
The credit of this original device is
due to William H. Mills, Chairman of
the Committee on Printing of the State
| Board Of Trade. The book has been
written, compiled and edited under his
personal supervision, and it's scope and
| purpose is admirably set forth in his
/ Introduction.
| Yreka Journal: Senator Hanna has
grown very tired of denying the story
| originated by some one in the emplov
of a New York paper that the wages
of miners in his employ in Pennsylya-
mia had been cut to the lowest price
ever paid in the Pittsburg District
"a cents a ton. Speaking on the sub
ject, Senator Hanna said: There has
been reduction of wages, but not those
/ OF the men employed by any of the
companies in which I am interested.
/ was asked to join, and refused to do
so. My men are still receiving 60 cents
ton" OF course it would be expect
ing entirely too much to ask that this
very positive denial should operate to
keep the original lie out of Democratic
papers.
| BUT HE CAME AS A PARTY MAN.
Placer Herald Nothing could more
distinctly illustrate the narrowness of
certain Republican organs in this State
than their attempt to belittle the COM
ing visit of William J. Bryan to Cali
