Napa Register: The death of Henry
| George ought to be a warning to puolic
men who attempt too much. He sim
ply worked himself to death Had he
| taken the needed rest during the past
two months he would have been alive
and we'll to-day-Oroville Register,
1t all depends upon the man and
/ the groove he gets into. Where ne
/ is ambitious and filled with nervous
energy ne harnesses every fiber of his
being to some line of work, and the
more he exerts himself the more he
must. for the wheels he has set in mo-
ton will carry him under the moment
he stops The result IS a short life
but an earnest and active and there
| fore useful one. The lazy man purs
himself into no such framework. He
lounges where the other labors; fattens
where the other grows lean; consumes
where the other produces; helps no one,
cares for no one criticizes the endes1v-
ors of others without trying TO improve

ever. exactly, but he is never ''cut off
/ in his prime" never dies in manner
/ described by the press as ''untimely.
! There is a middle course IN foiloWins
which the man gives and takes as ma
! ture intended he should and he lives
! to and often beyond the three-score and
| ten limit, but the active mind ana pnsy

! change direction.
FOR SHAME.
| Marysville Appeal: 1t is intimated
that Sir Edwin Arnold married Jap
anese woman in order that he might
have some one to listen to his japanese
poems. Sir Edwin is not the first man
to marry an audience in order to set a
hearing.
SUGAR BEETS.
Sutter Farmer: The opportunity to
make a start in the sugar beet indus
try in this part of the State is at hand
and our farmers should take hold OF
the matter in earnest. Experiments
in beet growing in various parts OF
Sutter County have proven successful
and the movement now on foot to plant
10000 acres or more in Northern Cal
ifornia should include this county. The
benefits derived by the growers in this
industry are conceded to be large am
there is no reason why residents OF
Sutter County should not devote a por-
ton of their land to the growing OIL
beets The matter is now being agl-
tated and any feasible plan to get the
same in operation should be encour-
aged by all.
FORTY WOMEN FOOLS.
Fresno Expositor: Forty women
have offered by mail to marry the more
! or less notorious Mr. Luetgert of Chi
cago, and several mail deliveries are
yet to be heard FROM says the Nebras-
ka state Journal with feminine
| inconsistency these correspondents
want to marry the man because ne is
innocent If he did. not kill his wife
of course she is liable to turn up at any
! time. But to the woman who is will
ing to marry Luetgert the law against
bigamy has no terrors." Not a terror.
And if one Of them should find out that
thirty-nine other women want to mar
ry him, not even the wrath of God
would have any terror for her 1t would
be such a satisfaction to get ahead of
all the other women.
THAT VICTORY.
Stockton Record: What, then, are
the national results of the election as
a whole?
The Republicans have gained Urit-
ed States Senator in the State Of Mary
land They have held their fortifica
tions everywhere. The Democrats have
I lost a Senator in Maryland, but man
aged to hold the one to be elected iii
Virginia. They have condemned the
/ great City of New York to another era
of Tammany rule-Tweedism, Croker
/ ism, fnfamy, corruption. misrule. They
gained one Congressman in the city OF
/ Brooklyn. where a vacancy was to be
/ filled
Where the GLORIOUS Democratic Vic
tory g to be figured out of these re-
suits is beyond our comprehension.
OUGHT TO BE ASHAMED.
Tulare Register: The Stockton Mali
J sees in the success of Tammany the
election of a Bryanite President IN
! 1900, not to speak of an endless chain
of Democratic blessings winding down
! out of futurity The 'Mail' ought to
/ be ashamed of the victory of Tammany
/ as the Register is ashamed of the
campaign made by the Republicans Of
! New York. Tammany is not De-
mocracy. 1t is Tammany and that
! only. 1t does not care a whit for the
! State of New York or for the nation.
| All it wants is control of Greater New
| York, and the chances are that it got
i this campaign by piedging to Tom Platr
/ the disruption of the New York De-
mocracy whenever Tom Platt wants to
/ carry the State for the Republican ma
j tional or State tickets Whatever glori-
/ fication the MALI can get out of that
dicker it is welcome to, but as for the
Register it is ashamed of the whole
/ transaction and it does not prove the
political death of Tom Platt he will
not get his deserts.
LOOKING OVER THE FIELD.
Los Angeles Herald: The expected
came to pass Judge Van Wyck will
| be the first Mayor of Greater New
York Tammany and the Democratic
party are again in power. The people
have placed them there by a plurality
so large that the efforts of the other
| candidates in the light of the result
may appear to have been superfluous
| and useless.
| The outcome is a tribute to the cour-
age and training of the Tammany or
ganization, and it testifies to the solid
| ity of the Democratic party in the bor-
| oughs that go to make up the new
