WHAT He MISSES

The hours of vacation are waning,
And the townsman will soon come back,
With courage that scorns complaining
Ger the things he henceforth must lack.
He must struggle to meet new conditions
AS gracefully as he can;
Talking politics with politicians
Instead of the hired man.
He must drink from the cool soda fountain
Instead of q lukewarm spring.
No more can he climb up the mountain,
A swift elevators the thing
That takes him aloft every morning.
And he's kept busy lodging, just now,
The cable car. loud in its warning,
Instead of the silent COW.

1t is likely that the negotiations for
a general treaty Of arbitration. between
the United States and Great Britain.
which have never been broken off. will
be resumed next month. The London
Times cannot see that they will be of
much avail 80 long as the United States
senate maintains "the hostile and OBJ
structive attitude it displayed when it
last discussed the question" The SEN
ate did not oppose the principle of inter-
national arbitration; on the contrary,
1t heartily approved it. What it did op-
pose was the provisions of the partcu-
lar treaty that was finally rejected. Ii
is proper that the initiative be given by
this country when the question is next

An Evil and Its Remedv

All our mineral and agricultural prod
ucts are taken out Of the country in q
raw state, and whatever money we re-
ceive is consumed in buying them back
as manufactured goods. Consequently,
we, as state, are in poverty while sur
rounded by plenty. The remedy Is to
manufacture our own goods, and after
they are manufactured use them, thus
putting the manufacturing price Of the
goods into circulation and saving the
cost of transportation.-Sum

CALIFORNIA OPINION
A Statement Of Fact

Here in California the Silver Repub-
lican party has been organized. The
members thereof are:
First-Silverites.
Second-Repub,ican
If the Republicanparty can be brought
back to the truth, from which It was led
astray by Hanna and the gold bugs. well
and good-the Silver Republicans will
be more than content to win the fight for
the people under the old banner.
If, however, that cannot be done, and
the Republican leaders still continue to
keep the party away from the straight
and narrow path, then 1t becomes the
duty Of the Silver Republicans to fight
the battles of silver under some other
