State and Coast Opinions on Sub
jects Of Living News
Interest.

this part of the State is a greater diver
sity of rural industries, which the va
riety of soils and the advantages Of the
climate make practicable. Inviting
and pleasing as is the culture OF the
orange, it is probably not more profita-
BILE in the long run than the growing
of such deciduous fruits as the peach.
1t is in the multiplication and the va
riety Of rural pursuits, rather than IN
their concentration into one channel,
and the highest and most generous
prosperity is to be reached. The time
has passed for making fortunes in fruit
growing, but it is still one of the best
and most attractive means of obtaining
comfortable living that the soil and
climate of California afford to industry
and intelligence.
ELECTION COMMENT.
Riverside Press: The administration
of President Mckinley was vindicated
and indorsed yesterday, from Atlantic
to Pacific, in no uncertain manner. No
tice has been served on all the world
that the country stands back Of the
President in his war policy, in his nego-
tiations for peace and in his firm stand
that the millions of the Philippines
shall not be turned over again to the
brutal oppression Of Spanish rule.
| And notice has also been served on
| the howling dervishes at home that even
though mistakes were made in details
| of war management, the wisdom, dig
nifty, vigor and patriotism with which
our affairs on land and sea, and in the
| field of diplomacy, have been managed
| in this crisis, are cordially approved by
| the nation The men who have in
| hicted disgrace upon the country and
needless suffering on our brave soldiers
will now be attended to. But 1t is
plain that the mass of the people We're
| In no mood to let their well-merited
punishment be inflicted on the Admins
| tration, by the vote of censure which
sweeping Democratic gains would have
| implied The copperhead harangues
| Of such men as Castle and Mcguire
touched no responsive chord in the
| hearts Of the American people; and,
encoura ged by this popular expression
Of confidence and sympathy, .he Pres
ident will now go courageously forward
| to complete the splendid work he has
| begun.
A REVIEW
| Tulare Register: It is a deep drawn
breath that will be taken when the re-
turns are all in and the best and worst
! is known There is a strain about a
political campaign that is very wear
| ing on the nerves and, after the strain
| is off, a period of intellectual lethargy
| is likely to succeed until brain fag has
been cured by the restorative resources
of nature. Therefore, for fortnight
or more, the newspapers will not be
very bright, the preachers will not grind
out as good sermons as common, the
| teachers will lag just little in their
work and the pupils will get marked
down we'll on their grades. But there
will be a general catching up by
Thanksgiving and the world will move
on just as though there had been no
election at all. Meantime let u.s. not
make up in irTitability what we lack In
sensibility If we let our dispositions
spoil there may not be enough left OF
us to be worth saving. esR
/ HIS EXPRESSION.
| Oakland Enquirer: Mr.. Hearst of
the Examiner has so many and such
mixed feelings on the subject Of the re-
cent election that he cannot express
them In the ordinary kind of editorial
even when set in poster type and run
clear across the page. SO he prints a
signed article in which he roasts the
leaders Of his party for their alleged
folly in opposing annexation and i'm
peria1ism. In Mr.. Hearst's opinion the
Democratic party is dying, because 1t
is not aggressive enough. When 1T is
recollected that Bryan has declared
himself supporter of the views which
Hearst condemns, 1t begins to look as
though the Democratic leader and the
Democratic editor have come to a
parting of the ways.
WHICH?
/ Fresno Republican: Have the peo-
pie of California shown themselves un-
fit for self government? Are they
railroad tools and hirelings? Are they
plutocrats and enemies Of themselves:
Or have the Examiner and It's Fres-
no Cuckoo merely been mistaken in as
serting that this would be the mean
ing of a Republican victory?
A STERN REBUKE
Stockton Independent: The politica
uprising I'M this State against James G
Mcguire is g. tremendous protes
against the introduction of false issues
and the attempted covert introduction
of a revenue system for which there
was no popular demand The vote
is an expression of the people agains
the constant efforts to keep up railroad
4 agitation on an issue that is settled
California is to be further congratulate
ed on the selection of a Republican
4 Legislature, to choose a Senator no
only in harmony with the Republican
Administration but in harmony will
the industrial and commercial aspira
tions of our people. The State yester
; day by political exertion escaped tw,
great evils.
SPLENDID RESULTS.
!, Red Bluff Peoples Cause: The peo
pie of California are to be congratulate
ed on the general results of the election
in this State. The triumph of the Re
publican ticket is less partisan vic
tory than a victory of the good force
of conservatism and good government
1t means increased confidence in tn
future of California and stimulus t
|. enterprise and development.
| The splendid majority given to Henr.
T. Gage for Governor is a rebuke to tn
tactics of those newspapers and politi
clans who sought to prevent his cleo
tion on the ground that he had bee
chosen to be the tool of corporations
He has won largely on his persona
merits and stainless record. There ca
be no doubt that he will give highl
creditable administration.
LF-EMANCIPATED.
Alameda Argus: The result of Tues
day is notice to the world that Cali
) fornia has emancipated herself fror
, the demagogue and the crank. Eve
