FLOURISHING CALIFORNIA.

HOLDEN bountiful and splendid was the show T ing made for California in the annual review of N/ the State published by the Chronicle yesterday The statistics of the results of our productive and commercial industries of a nature to confirm the optnist in his hopes and confound the pessimst in his despondency They effectualy attest the vigor of the business energies of the commonwealth and prove that even under existing conditions Califor
 ans are rapidly carrying their State to the foremost place in the Union.
 The fact that so much has been accomplished when each man works for himself alone and when discords p evai in the ranks of almost every trade and pro fession is the surest proof of what be achieved when the people work together, and the energies o the city and the interior combined for the general good. The success attained in the construction of the Valley Road and the benefits flowing from it are object lessons in the value of cooperation. That lesson has been learned The intelligent people of the city ready to unite for the upbuilding of rhe State, and when contemporary publishes its annual next year, it will have better array of statistics to show the progress of the State.
 The review of the year made by the Chronicle serves to emphasize the importance of fuller and elaborate treatment of mining and allied industries. This will be done in the grand Golden Jubilee edition The Call is preparing. In that edition will be given the most complete and thorough account of the mines and mining industry of this section of the Union that has ever been published. it is to appear January 23 and will be attractive and interesting feature of the Jubilee and the mining exposition. It will thus complete what may be called the holiday journalism of the year. and in the wide field it is designed occupy will be by far the most notable production of the season.

INCREASING REVENUES.

C CONGRESSMAN DINGLEY makes perti- | nent and gratifying contribution to the sub
 jects of New Year congratulations by pointing cut in clear and impressive the gratifying results obtained from the revenue features of the tariff. The monthly treasury reports have made known in general way the increasing returns from custom duties, but we indebted to Mir. Dingley for the most authoritative and definite statement of the conclusions to be drawn from them.
 In the first place it is noted that the revenues de rived from the tariff have increased with each month Of its operation.
 The revenue was only SIoooo,ooo In August ($7,- oooooo from customs, in consequence of the large importations between March and July 24 in antici- patton of the new tarif). It rose to S2ooooooo in September ($8ooo, 900 from customs), to $24oooooo in October ($o,75oooo from customs), to $25,- oooooo ($o75o,ooo from customs) in the short month of November, and rises to nearly $28, oooooo in December ($II, 800 900 from customs).
 Another important feature of the statement is the record showing the increase of revenues for Decem Der those of the corresponding period of the years of the Democratic tariff The receipts this year. excluding the amount received from the rail road sale, S26,Io5ooo, leaving surplus to the Government of over $I,736,ooo The receipts for December, 1894, were $z2,ooo,oco Those for De- cenber, 1885, were only about $2o.ooo 900, while in December, I8o6 they less.
 Good as have been the results of the operation of the tariff in the past there is every that those of the future will be better The large impor- tation of foreign goods under the Democratic low tariff early in the spring forestalled the coming of the protective tariff and a consequence it has not yet been fairly tested. As these goods are consumed importatons will be required and there will be corresponding increase of revenues.
 Taking all things into consideration, MT. Dingley estimates that the revenue derived under the new tariff from this time until the close of the fiscal year will exceed the expenditures. In other words we lave reached the end of the period of deficit From this time the income of the Government will be equal to its needs. There is even an assurance of surplus sufficient to pay off the Democratic deficit and wipe that blot from the books of the national treasury.

THE POSTAL REFORM BILL.

HE persons and corporations prohting by the
 abuses of the existing postal regulations are
 showing no little activity in mastering an op- position to the proposed reform urged by Congress Loud. Their organs in various parts of the Union necessarily misrepresenting the reform bill and where they do not openly denounce it they endeavor to excite objection to it by innuendo.
 Among the strongest opponents of reform the publishers of trashy novels and books worth less vicious still, and the publishers of called newspapers who circulate thousands of copies of advertising circulars under the pretense that they sample copies of legitimate newspapers
 Both of these classes of publishers injurious to legitimate trade. There is no reason why the pub fisher of a book on "The Fistic Prowess of Pompa- dour Tom," or treatise on How to Be Pirate or a Yellow Journalist in Three Easy Lessons" should have the privilege of circulating them at the expense of the Government while the publisher of standard work by reputable author has to pay heavy postage Nor is there any reason why any person or corpora ton should be permitted to circulate advertisements at less than cost.
 It is true, The Call will lose something by the adop- ton of the proposed amendment prohibiting the sending of sample copies as second-ciass mail mat ter. The Call has recently issued grand edition of 35oooo copies and is to issue another large special edition. It is advantage to have these papers admitted to the mails at second-cass rates. Nevertheless The Call recognizes the justice of the objection such practices and heartily advocates the reform.
 The Call does not seel, its profit at the expense of the taxpayers, nor does it admit the right of any other corporation, institution or person to do SO. The Loud bill is honest, it is economical it is just l. is imperativey needed put postal affairs on
 basis that gives equal rights to all and special prvi- leges to none. The measure should be enacted at this session of Congress and the friends of the people should be resoute in urging it upon their Representa- tives in that body

NOW FOR WORK.

I HE HOLIDAYS are over The compliments
 of the season have been passed to and fro, and
 all the frolics duly enjoyed Now we return to business To-day we begin in earnest the work of the year. The opportunities for improving our conditions many. It depends upon ourselves how will profit by them.
 First and foremost we must make preparations for the Golden Jubilee and the mining exposition What IS to be done for these enterprises must be done at once. The shortness of the time allowed for the work does not admit of delay Contributions for the Jubilee parade should be made Eberaly and made this week. AS the parade is to serve an intro ducton to the exposition all citizens should take pride in contributing what they can to make it pageant truly representative of the triumph accom- rlished by California in the first fifty years following the discovery of her golden treasures.
 Along with the work performed for the Jubilee and the exposition must be that carried on for the pur pose of bringing to San Francisco the Alaskan out fitting trade. This work has been we'll begun, and is we'll advanced, but should be pushed forward. The trade resulting from the rush for the Yukon gold fields is to be the most important commercial boom known to the Pacific Coast for many years, and 1t will be own fault if do not reap rich and perma- rent profit from it.
 The conditions of the State are of nature to encourage enterprise and business activity among its pcOpc 1Hc IcCOIu OI HIty years SiiSc tHC us oovery of gold has been one of the industrial won ders of the age. Though one of the youngest of the sisterhood of States California is already first in the production of gold, raisins, prunes, borax, beans, oranges, wine and fruits. It is second in the pro- duction of nuts, wheat, lumber barley, hops and honey. Its soil is the most prolific and its climate the most agreeable in the Union.
 All the achievements of the past, however, have hardly more than prospecred the resources ot the State Despite the number of articles of necessity or luxury in the production of which we lead the Union, California is virtually undevefoped coun- try. There remain in every section of the com monwealth as good opportunities for capital and labor as any that have yielded fortunes to energy and thrift in tue years gone by. To exploit these as far as possible is the duty of the time Let begin the work with self-conhdence and mutual harmony. The year begins as a season of promise and will end as one of glorious realization if make the right use of our advantages and opportunities.
