Gated that the administration, when the
time limit was reached, would be ready
/ to act fearlessly. We must bear IN
mind that from the standpoint of tbs
President war can only be justified
when every other resource is exhausted
| The jingoism that is prated so loudly
| by the Populists and some LEADING
| Democrats, is done more for popular
effect next fall than for anything else
THREE OFFERS.
Santa Cruz Sentinel: The Examiner
offers $4,000 for the discovery of the
man who blew the war ship Maine Sky
high, the Cali offers $4,000 for tbs
discovery of the fellow who struck Billy
i Patterson, and the Sentinel olferS
500 600 for the Identification of the jour-
nalist who can write the truth about
/ the gold of the Klondike.
NOTHING SAID.
Middletown Independent: Nothing is
said by the city papers in regard TO tbs
manner in which the steamship com
panies are robbing the Alaskan miners
Should the Southern Pacific charge one
half the fare that steamship compan-
| les wiring out of the miners there would
/ be a tremendous howl from those
/ papers.
| GUINDA CANNERY
| Winters Express: A cannery is to be
built at Guinda capable of turning out
! 5000 cans per day. II will be ready foT
/ this summers crop, and will handle
! vegetables as we'll as fruit. Guinda is
up with the times With this enterprise
the Capay Valley will have a home mar
ket for every pound of fruit that can
not be profitably shipped. Thousands Of
dollars worth of stuff that otherwise
would rot in the orchards will now De
saved, and employment will be given
right at home to people who need il.
Winters ought to be doing the same. She
could just as we'll as not, but to all ap-
pearances she won't.
OUR SEMI CENTENNIAL.
Redlands Facts: The San Francisco
/ Cali says:
California was admitted into the
Union September 8, 1880. In 1900 she
will celebrate the fiftieth anniversary OF
her Statehood. How shall it be done?''
/ Well. commence by nominating some
other place than San Francisco where
| that celebration shall be held-E'resnO,
! for instance, very nearly in the center
! of the State; or Los Angeles the south
ern metropolis. Then follow this up by
! booming, the celebration and unreserv-
edly and gladly advising the whole OF
! Northern California to go en- masse to
that central or southern point and to
help the celebration by all means in It's
power If San Francisco wants to hog
another anniversary the celebration will
be nit" so far as Southern California is
concerned.
GOLD IN TREASURY.
Los Angeles Herald; The word is
given out that the accumulation Of gold
in the rational treasury has reached
embarrassing proportions, and that en-
courasement of further deposits is not
made This is the sheerest nonsense.
There is not SO much gold there, but
that it could be dissipated in a day, and
the surplus entirely wiped out, by such
raid as j. Pierpont Morgan could or
ganize in a single hour in Wall street
by the successful methods employed
heretofore by the same men when a
new bond issue was wanted.
HAWAII
Redlands Citrograph: The advocates
of Hawaiian annexation are feeling
very much encouraged. For ourself we
have never doubted the result. Hawaii
will be al integral part Of the United
States, and the formal day of accept
ance should be independence Day. That
would give the islands two celebrations
on one and the same day.
RUSHING THROUGH STREETS.
Fresno Republican,: Bicycle scorch-
ers are being yanked before the courts
of justice in Los Angeles, but the COM
plant is made that belated milk wagons
and various other vehicles continue to
rattle DER the, streets at a break neck
speed without let or hindrance-espe
cially h;ndrance. Tt is thus that the
inequalities of the law as operated by
fallible men is made manifest. The
scorcher is a nuisance to be abated by
the law CT a club, but is not more III
need Of attention than the cross eyed
and hollow headed drivers Of wagons
in their variety. who go smashing
through crowded streets as though they
owned them and everybody else are
trespassers whom 1T would be Il right
eous act to run down and kill The
scorcher ought to be abolished. but not
there arc others just as bad.
STRAIGHT ENOUGH OFFER.
Colusa Sun: Should the Supervisors
allow the S200 for the delegation al
ready gone to Washington to assist our
delegation. at the request of the dele
cation, to get appropriations for the
Sacramento River, the Sun will re-
fund to any objecting taxpayer the full
amount of his pro rata of the amount
paid. This is, then, only letting those
who are willing to pay in exact proper
tion to assessment and without the
trouble of collecting in SO small
amounts. For instance, the county be-
ing assessed at something over S13,-
GEO. the proportion of one assessed
at $4,000 would be 10 cents If a col
lection We're gotten up it would not pay
to collect these small amounts, but all
being almost exactly equally benefited.
it is right that the payments shall be
alike of such as want to pay. Now, If
any one does not want to pay towards
lobbying, the sun" having no con-
scientIous scruples in that direction.
will refund the amount if one will only
indicate to US that there is an objec-
ton, and to make it even entirely the
postage will be refunded wherewith we
are notified.
