The Mississippi floods may be subsiding,
but the damage continues TO rise rapidly.
The Cubans will very soon draw a trocha
around Weyler and ask him how he
likes it.
The employed on the boulevard will
soon be unemployed if you do not help
the fund that pays them.
Since we are not TO have a carnival of
our own, we can fraternze with the rest
of the State and share all that come.
There is TO be chea per travel to Yosemite
this summer, thanks to the Valley road
and the holiday outlook for the people
grows larger.
1t will be better for Kentucky to break
the deadlock with a sledge hammer or
any old thing rather than have it opened
with gold key.
The proposed West Shore road has at
any rate good prospects. There is no
finer scenery on the globe than between
here and Santa Cruz.
PETER and Mrs Lease have parted COM
pany. He steps from Populism to con-
servatism, and she goes off to socialism.
There is going to be big chasm in Kansas.
Projects are now under discussion for

Moore. This is going to be monumental
City before long.
Until the Balboa boulevard is completed
San Francisco Will not have done justice
to herself nor shown a rightful measure
OF public spirit and enterprise. Subscribe
to the fund ana help the work
1t is again asserted In Washington that
the Senate will reduce the rates OF the
A.
Caliiornians to see to it that the reductions
are not made on California products.
Wolcott, Paine and Stevenson make q
good commission to promote International
bimetal ism, and in appointing them,
Mckinley has made another good stroke
for the success OF his administration.
The editor of the Del Norte Record.
snugly ensconced way up in the northern
corner of the State, serenely remarks that
if the Chinese in San Francisco want to
fight, why ''let 'em." OF course. Our
contemporary is safe. Why not .Iet
'em?"
The present prospect of expensive wars
will incline the powers of Europe to be
more favorable than ever to proposition
to widen the money basis of the world,
and this. therefore. is good time to call
an international conference to re-estab
Hsh bimetallism.
American corn is carried to Denmark
where it is fed to COWS to make butter for
the English market, and in the meantime
we ship oleomare arine, butterine and stuff
of that kind to the same market. An en-
nf - A.
needed in this country all along the line
The city elections in California on Mon
day did not show the Democratic slump
which occurred in Eastern cities and the
fact may be cited as an evidence either
that we are less tickle than Eastern peo.
pie, or that We have better proofs of re-
turning prosperity. At any rate we stood
pat while they fell down.
The desire of WI Ting Fang to estab blish
newspapers i'll China ought not to be
hopeless. 1t will be remembered that the
Emperor of China once acted as CORE
spondent for journal in this City on the
occasion of the death of Little Pete and
got dispatch here by fakerfone quicker
than the telegraph could have done il.
After such scoop the Emperor ought to
be a boomer for new journalism in the
Flowery Kingdom.
In his address at the recent unveiling OF
the monument to William I the Kaiser
in referring to the services of his grand
father in establishing the German empire
made no mention of his father, Frederick,
who took part in the war, nor of Bis

caused no little comment, and the Kaiser
could not more effectuaily have recalled
them TO the minds of the people by any
praise he might have bestowed on them
than he did by ignoring them altogether.
The British War Office has discovered
that the volunteer force of the country is
not such an effective defense against in
vasion as the people have believed. In
battalion 800 strong, which was given
twelve hours notice to parade, some
of the men appeared in slippers, the
swords, rifles and accouterments were in
bad condition, the troops could not drill
and one officer was found TO be ignorant
even of the words OF command. A force
of that kind would MAKE a poor showing
if any of the well-drilled armies of the
Continent should land on the coast of
England, and the Government does we'll
In streng thening the navy.
