HARRISON A GREAT man.

The death of Gen. Harrison finishes
the earthly career of a very great man
in some respects as able a man as this
country has ever produced. He was a
gallant soldier in his youth; he was held
as an eminent lawyer in his state; as a
senator he made little impression, for
he was shy and reticent and those about
him thought him cold. Never until' he
became the chief magistrate of the ma
ton did the people generally realize the
sovereign superiority of the man.
Thu ough the campaign preceding his
e'ection he was numerically cartooned
as being nothing except as the bearer of
his srandfather's hat. which was pic
tured as far too large for him. But he
had been president but a few months
when the whole nation discovered that
the srandfather's hat would be too small
for him. IA
His state papers revealed hrs as one
of the most masterfu! intellects of the
age: as one of the most stalWart OF
Americans. When his secretary n of
state was i'll. in a trying period of our
country: when our sailors had been KILL

was sunk in Havana. and when Chile
had one ship that might have steame
into San Francisco harbor and laid the
city under tribute, SO helpless was our
navy President Harrison in person took
UP the business and steered the country
out o. the dilemma in a manner that gave
the nation and the word notice that the
CHI eff executive OF tie United States was
a statesman of the very highest class. He
had the faculty that Chief Justice Mar
shall possessed of interpreting the laws
in way which made clear to common
.op'e THAT in it's highest sense the law
is the executive of exact justice, and
that a government absolutely controlled
by wise laws must be absolutely just.
| There was no time-serving. no quibbling
in the ma ure of Gen. Harrison: he evad-
ed no duty in his high office. he never
performed an act for the galleries: he

No state in the union has devoted so
much time and money to securing citi-
zens of desirable class as California
and the returns on the investment have
been very heavy. For instance. it is esti-
mated that in the next six months fully
one hundred thousand people viii visit
that state ana of this number a large
per centage will remain permanently.
New Corners are welcomed by the mama
gers of the fruit canneries and the big
fruit drying plants for many reasons
and especially as the problem of saw
ing the immense fruit crop of California
becomes each year more serious. 1t is
Well known that last season fruit worth
thousands of dollars was lost because
the help to handle it could not be Sc
cured. The Chinese have engaged in
other lines of work there, the Japanese
are entirely unsatisfactory and women
and children have been largely engaged
in this pleasant employment. 1t Is
surely a good plan when state has at
fractions to offer settlers, to be the
world known to them.
