EXPOSITION WORK FOR CALIFORNIA

I many respects the most important step taken at
 the meeting of the State Board of Trade on Wednesday was the adoption of resolution which after declaring that the board favors and ad- vises comprehensive exhibit of the products of the State Paris 1ooo announced that the board will request the next Legislature to make appropria- ton of $5o,ooo for the purpose of such exhibit.
 By this action of the board the question of pro- vidng for adequate representation of the indus tries of California at the worlds great exposition is brought before the public for serious consideration It has been under discussion in a manner more or less vague ever since the French Government de cded to undertake the enterprise of gathering an exhibit of the industries of all nations show the results achieved the end of the century, but no definite plan of action has been advanced until now. The resolution of the Board of Trade puts the before the people in way to compel attention. It will no doubt be thoroughly debated in all sections of the State, and public opinion will be decidedly formed upon 1t long before the Legislature meets.
 The movement for the proposed exhibit at Paris will in wise antagonze the plan for holding a grand exposition in San Francisco in celebration of the admission of California to the Union The pur- poses of the two enterprises diverse that they do not conflict in any degree. The ex- hibit at Paris will make products known abroad and will thereby increase foreign trade by in- creasng the demand for goods. The San Fran cisco exposition would make California itself known and would tend to increase the amount of our products by leading to the settlement of people in the State and the investment of capital in industries
 There IS why the advocates of either of the two movements should oppose the other. Both spring from desire advance the welfare of Cali fornia and both are well calculated to do so. The work of carrying out the would be in large measure cooperative in carrying the other Cali orna cannot do too much either for her foreign commerce or for her home industry and can well afford to be liberal in making appropriations for both the exposition at Paris and that which is to be held within the State itself

THE VICTORY IN YOLO.

| HAT promises to be a complete victory for \N/ honesty and the law has been accomplished
 ln Yolo by the adoption of an ordinance de signed to efectually prevent bookmakers driven from Sacramento plying their gambling trade in Yo1o County.
 The adoption of the ordinance is the last step taken in long fight for the enforcement of law against gambling carried on under circumstances which made it merely an illicit practice, but an open scandal. Upward of year ago the bookrnak- CTS, having been driven out of Sacramento went the river and established themselves in the little town of Washington, from which point of tage they deemed themselves able ply their trade with impunty and do as profitable business almost as they had formerly done in Sacramento.
 There ordinance in Yolo against book making which n its terms was about as strong as that in Sacramento, but for reason, easy to guess at, the ordinance not enforced. From this condition of affairs rose the scandal which seriously affected the reputation of Yolo and proved a con stant ofense to the better class of its people For time however, efectual steps were taken to suppress the evil, and it looked as if the gamblers had adc themselves secure and would be able to go on indefinitely with their trade unpunished and ui- checked.
 It under these circumstances The Call began an investigation ci the scandal and directed pubic attention to the causes of it. The exposure made by The Call complete and startling It aroused the people of Yolo to true of the situation and stimulated them to action The result is the adoption of the new ordinance and the announced determination of the officials to enforce it. This. therefore is of the victories which The Cal has
 helped to win for good government in California, Id its accomplishment encourages the hope oI equal success in struggles being made for tht same cause elsewhere.
 The people of Yolo, however must not content themselves with having procured the adoption of the ordinance and the promise of its enforcement Evils in a community like weeds in garden, require con- tinuous attention. The influences which brought about the scandal in the first place will be at work again to renew the trade of the bookmaters as soon as the storm blows over The victory TOW achieved can be made permanent only by maintaining among the people and their officials the same esolute deter imitation to enforce the law which erabed them to win it. The Call will give help in tie future as in the past whenever 1t is needed

NO ALLIES IN AMERICA

The talk of an alliance of Mexico with Spain in case of a war between the latter and the United States is the veriest non sense. Such a combination would not only indicate that the Mexican republic had repudiated the cause to which it committed itself when it threw off the Spanish yoke and established a republi- can form of government, but that 1t had lost the sense of gratitude as well for the part which the United States played in rescuing the republic from the grip of a foreign despotism in the downfall of Maximilian.-Chicago Tribune.

There Is really no sound argument
against the restoration OF the cat-o'-
nine. tails to its useful place among the
weapons OF justice. The main Objec-
ton advanced Is that 1t brutalizes the
persons on whom 1t Is used-that 1t en-
tlnguishes the last remaining spark Of
manhood. The answer to this IL that
only crimes the commission Of which
proves the culprlts to be already with.
out manhood or the sense of shame
should be punished at the whipping
post. The crimes meant are those OF
which women and children are the
