LasSen Advocate: 1t is believed that
there will be more building in Reno
next season than there has been during
the season that is about to close. Many
lots have been sold during the summer
and fall to parties who Will build and
make homes in the town next summer.
One party has sold six lots that will
receive structures for homes next year
and many other lots have been disposed
of for home-making purposes. 1t IL
estimated that not less than thirty
new buildings will be added to the town
| within the next year.-Reno Journal.
Let the old town boom-she can't
grow any too big to suit the people up
this way.
A GOOD SHOWING.
Santa Rosa Republican: With a cost
ly war on the hands of the Administra-
ton and all the demands for current
expenses to be met the Secretary OF
the Treasury is not issuing but buying
bonds-not going into debt, but pay

preceding an election somebody would
certainly have said it was for political
effect. 1t occurs following general cleo
lions, and is a pure business PROPOSE
ton. The opponents Of the Dingley bill
have assured the people over and over
again that there would be a great de-
ficiency in the national treasury, and
that the issue of bonds would be neces-
sary before the close OF this year.
Really this is an instance in which
somebody must have been mistaken.
SENSELESS ABUSE.
Visalia Delta: There is a lot Of
SenSelesS abuse hurled at q railroad
company every time an accident occurs
on any part of its system. Some news
papers try to persuade, the people to
| believe that the companies are guilty
of gross negligence. AS matter OF
fact, there are no concerns in the world
that are oper ated with such care and
precision as are the present-day rail-
way systems. Even TO the minutest
details the greatest possible accuracy
is demanded by the railway companies
Of their employees.
A HISTORIC PERIOD. -
Stockton Independent: The people of
the United States do not yet fully real
ize the extent of the industrial and
business activity that has revolution
lied the conditions Of the country in the
last two years. The trade reviews
make their weekly reports and faith
fully record the conditions, making sig
nificant comparisons with like periods
in former years, but even those who
read and study trade reviews fail to
appreciate the enormous energies of Ia
Dor and capital that have set the wheels
of development and progress in motion,
The country is SO large and its pro-
ductive capacity has become so enor-
nous and Is SO generally distributed
that it is not only difficult for the aver
age mind to grasp the effects of the
stimulation, but it is impossible for ex-
perts to record with exactness the
pulsations of wealth-producing action.
The people can only content themselves
. with what they see of the transforma-
tons until reliable data have been gath
cred and presented in annual reports
and census figures. But whatever the
permanence and continuity of the pres
ent era of prosperity the histories of
J the future will refer to the revival Of
business revolution in the history of
the world.
THE DIPLOMATIC LINE.
Los Angeles Times:s England appears
to have been doing some business in the
diplomatic line recently which is ex-
: tremely smooth and adroit. She has
: Struggled up to Germany, succeeded in
making France mad, and given Russia

busy that the Car has no time nor in
clination to interfere in the contest in
: Boerland. Britannia plays an exceed
ingly good game of cards, and the fell
low who has her for a partner may
count upon getting away with the first
prize She not only manages to hold
strong pasteboards herself, but usually
: has somebody looking into the other
fellows hand and making signs. When
it comes to the matter of diplomacy,
the country that euchres England must
be expert in dealing cards from the
: bottom and turning whatever trump is
most desired
A TRIVIAL MATTER AT REST.

and other Eastern cities. While it is
possible that little Maryland might

is too late, and the Democratic party
must stand by the Nebraska man to
b the last. The party is committed to
him, and they must make the best OF
it. Aside from other considerations, it
is doubtful if any reputable sound
money Democrat can be found who viii
accept the doubtful honor of cortstitut-
ing the sacrificial offering. The better
: informed of the party themselves con-
. cede that they have no show in the
election next year, and while they will
keep up the pretense of making fight
it will only be. for FORMS sake. The
Democratic party is committed to
Bryan, and 1t must make the best Of
| it. 1t is just as we'll. Bryan is used
to being sat upon, and one time, more
or less, will make no difference. So
let the Maryland Democrats have their
little fling, if it amuses them 1t really
| cuts no figure with the country at
? large, anyway.
