The German navy will now sail on an even Kiel. Take the CALL and get The United Press dispatches. No man who regards life as a lottery ever wins a prize. Where the home market is the home in- dustry thrives. The old City Hall has demonstrated its deadly power even in its fall. It looks as if we might have the fiesta series continued through the year. Humboldt County is determined to be worthy of the name which it bears. The mules furnish us with satisfactory evidence that chronic kickers have very long ears. Remember there is not one lottery ticket in a thousand that is worth as muchasa cigarette. While Democrats are splitting up Re- publicans gre coming together more firmly than ever. ' The mineral springs of California are all more valuable than Ponce de Leon’s foun- tain of youth. As a general rule silence is golden, but the silence of the Cleveland convention looks like silver. The advent of fly time sends our spirits soaring in the hope of an ascomplishment of aerial nay Those who go camping in the woods this summer offer discouragement to the advance of medicine. It is said that in its crusade against the horse the bicycle is bringing even night- mares into disrepute. The hope that the advent of the bicycle would reduce the gum-chewing dissipation has not been realized. Between the devil and the deep sea there is often a wide margin in which heavenly graces may be cultivated. Kaiser William’s golden helmet is more suggestive of barbaric splendor than im- perial comfort in June weather. The merchant who refuses to join the Merchants’ Association does not deserve to share the benefits which it creates, In San Francisco we have not only better weather than the rest of the country but a larger assortment of pleasing varieties. According to all reports the French and Russian alliance is regarded more sus- piciously in England than in Germany. Cleveland may not be a candidate for a third term, but there is more wood-sawing in his back yard than in that of any other Democrat. As soon as Eureka has been properly opened to the world its name will be em- ployed to express the delighted surprise of its visitors. ‘Within the space of a month seven peo- ple have been shot to death in Kentucky, but there was not a mysterious murder in the whole lot. Tt would seem superfluous to try ex- Clerk Lambert of Oakland for insanity in view of the announcement that it was his custom to take fifty drinks a day. ‘With our two quadruplex pressesand our distinctive telegraphic service we are fur- nishing the news of The United Press through the means of united presses. As Germany has appropriated 100,000 marks to purchase bicycles for the army we shall probably hear less talk about prep- arations for a war being afootin that coun- try. Now that the Lick trust has been com- pleted the bones of the dead millionaire will rest serenely in their sepulture in the pier of the great telescope on Mount Ham- ilton. All the good times that a lazy man has had are cast into the shade of forgetfulness by the anxieties which he suffers when he comes to square his accounts with the world. — When Whitney said if the silver men should carry the next Democratic National Convention it would split the party, he overlooked the fact that the same result wonld follow if the gold men should carry it. Local preference of foreign products has received a midriff whack from the action of the Police Commissioners in selecting a San Francisco beaver clcth for police uni- forms as a more satisfactory article than that which France has been sending us. The discovery that several saloons m Chicago have been escaping taxation by being put on the list as church property ought to lead to an investigation to see if the owners have not been drawing salaries by getting on the list of deputy assessors. New York can afford many private resi- dences that cost more than $1,000,000 each, but for all that the recent police census shows that there are more than 50,000 children in the city who have been deprived of school facilities because of a lack of sufficient school buildings. g B A One of the features of the Atlanta Exposi- tion that promises to be a great attraction will be a theater for the display of all the properties and equipments of dramaticart, and in o:ler to exhibit the full effect of scenic decoration it is proposed to produce a grand spectacular play showing the march of De Soto from Florida across Georgia to the discovery of the Mississippi. OUR NEWS SERVICE. By alliance with The United Press the CALL has obtained a telegraphic news service which gives it a distinguished and pre-eminent place in the journalism of the Pacific Coast. The main business of a newspaper is to obtain all the news, print it, publish it and circulate it among the people. This work the CALL, with its two giant quadruplex presses and its full re- ports of the news gathered up in all parts of the world by the tireiess cnergies of The United Press, can do more effectively and more completely than any other journal on this coast. It is in 1o spirit of hoasting we claim the best news service in the State and the equal of any in the Union. It is the sim- ple statement of a fact too easily verified to be disputed. Evan P. Howell, editor of the Atlanta Constitution and president of the Southern Associated Press, in congrat- ulating the CaLL upon its new alliance, said: “I know whereof I speak when I say the plan you have adopted is the only safe one, for the Southern Associated Press tried the one you have abandoned.” Here, then, is the testimony of one of the oldest and most successful newspaper managers in the country, who, baving tried both the rival association and The United Press, speaks with the authority derived from a full experience in asserting the superiority of the latter. Nor does his testimony stand alone. Charles A. Dana of the New York Sun; R. R. Soper, secretary of the New York State Associated Press; John H. Holmes, president of the New England Associated Press, and others in similar vositions in different sections of the coun- try give evidence essentially the same as that of Mr. Howell and amply sustain the claim that the news service we obtain by this alliance is superior to any other that can possibly be had. 5 1t does not need the testimony of indi- viduals, however, to prove to any intelli- gent mind the substantial truth of our claim, for that truth is made clear by the well-known facts of the history of the organization with which we are now allied. The United Press came into existence solely because other news-gathering asso- ciations were not giving full satisfaction to their patrons. Such great papers as the Herald, Sun, Tribune and Times of New York and leading journals in other parts of the country, from New England to the South, devised the plan of The United Press for the express purpose of getting a more satisfactory service. It has flourished and extended solely because it performed that which was expected of it, and now draws into alliance with itself the pro- gressive and leading dailies of the Nation, for the reason that its superiority as a news-gatherer is everywhere recognized. It must not be supposed The United Press confines its energies to this country. The managers in their offices in New York City are in close, constant and speedy communication with all the centers of European life and with the remote parts of the world in Asia, Africa and Australia. 1ts able correspondents are everywhere in- cessantly engaged in learning the truth of every event that occurs of general interest and telegraphing it to the central office, whence it is disseminated to papers in all sections of the Union. In a recent address, Mr. Dana estimated the experse of this elaborate system of news-gathering at about $5000 every day. This forms an enormous sum in the course of a year, and yet the readers of the CALL get the full re- sults of all this energy and cost served to them at the breakfast-table every morning for a few cents. HOPE AND LOTTERIES. 1t is sometimes said as an apology for lotteries that the promise of large prizes their tickets hold forth give to the forlorn and the wretched the only ray of hope the world affords of escape from the continual grind of poorly paid drudgery. Under this aspect the lottery is represented as coming to sad hearts like a benediction filling the mind with the stimulating glow of sanguine hopefulness and encouraging them to bear with cheerfulness the bur- dens of a life that would otherwise be an intolerable slavery to pain or toil. This fanciful conception of lotteries is not infrequent. It seems to rise naturally in the minds of a considerable class of peo- ple, and may possibly have some narrow foundation in seeming facts. It is very far, however, from being a true idea of the source of the power of lotteries. There is scarcely a lottery ticket buyer in the thou- sand who is poor and forlorn, Such peo- ple have too much need of their scanty coins to afford to gamble with them. The mass of lottery ticket gamblers is made up of people whose means and opportunities afford them rational hope of aavancement by thrift and industry, but who are de- ceived by the cunning advertisements of lottery managers into the belief that they can get fortune without labor and without economy by buying a ticket for the next drawing. Hope comes to nobody with a lottery ticket. Hope is a divinely given faculty of the mind intended to sustain humanity in the performance of great duties, and as it was designed for nobler purposes it was given enduring foundations. It is based upon self-reliance, self-help, good reason and the realities of circumstance. What inspiration or expectancy is not founded upon these things is not hope, but a miser- able seli-delusion and alying dream which, so far from having power to make sad lives cheerful, works on the otherghand to ruin even those in comfortable circum- stances by exciting in them a discontent which, hurrying the mind from disappoint- ment to disappointment, ends at lastin complete despondency and utter despair. Ifany man or woman has been indulg- ing a belief that the lottery tickets for which they spend their money have yielded them returns in cheerfulness and hope they are victims of a similar discase to that which impels so many deluded ones to seek sweet dreamsin morphine, opium or cocaine. The strongest minds will be overcome by the enticement of the insidious evil if they play with it too long. It is best to understand at the start that in the lottery there is no hope. There is only delusion, deception, fraud, swindling and crime. There is money in it only for the managers, the agents and such news- papers as publish their notices, but there is blessing in it for nobody, and least of all for those who try to build their hopes on it instead of on themselves. WISELY DONE. In deciding to make no attempt to for- mulate a platform for the party, the con- vention of Republican League clubs at Cleveland acted wisely and well. There are many reasons for this. The conven- tion represented Republican clubs but not the Republican party, and therefore had no authority to speak for the party. In addition to this, it assembled during an off year. Fully twelve months must elapse before the next campaign opens. In that time important changes may take place in the political situation, and any platform drawn up now might be wholly inadequate for the issues that will be presented then. It is a part of the proverbial wisdom of the Anglo-Saxon race never to cross a river until you come to it. Those who make extensive preparations for passing over a stream before they see it often waste time, energy and capital in arranging pontoons or constructing a bridge only to find in the end there is easy fording where the cross- ingis to take piace. By the time the Na- tional Convention meets it is more than probable tbat all issues now before the people will be so well understood that the Republican party will need no elaborate constructive ingenuity to deviee a means of dealing with them, but will find it pos- sible to march forward with unbroken ranks along that great highway of saga- cigus statesmanship which leads not only to party success but to the prosperity of the Republic and the welfare of the people. It isnot to be denied that this wise re- solve on the part of the convention to leave the problems of the future to the future for solution averted action that might have seriously compromised the well-nigh cer- tain assurance of victory in 1896. Had the extremists on either side gained their way resolutions might have been adopted that would have led to dissensions in the ranks and possibly even to factional divisions. To Colonel Trumbo and those who stood with him in the contest against the gold- standard men in the committec on resolu- tions the party owes much. These men, though commonly referred to as repre- sentatives of the West as distinct from other sections of the Union, showed a true comprenension of the situation in every part of the country and a broad-minded conception of the best way of dealing with it from the standpoint not of sectional but of National policy, and to them, therefore, is the happy solution of the difliculties before the convention largely due. The cause of free silver and bimetallism will Jose mnothing by the liberal policy adopted by its advocatesin the convention, The party has been saved from even the appearance of factional strife, and it has been the Western leaders who were mainly instrumental in saving it. They can go into the National Convention next year, therefore, with a prestige increased by this display of party loyalty and National statesmanship and be of great service in overcoming any tendency there may be among the delegates toward extremes in either way, and thus aid in holding the convention true to the sound doctrines of protection and bimetallism as the funda- mental principles of National Republi- canism, A NOVEL EXPERIENCE. Should the Republican National Con- vention be held at San Francisco the dele- gates will be treated to an experience altogether novel in the history of National conventions. This will be not only the generous hospitality which the visitors will receive in all parts of the Btate, but also the peculiar and delightiul character of their entertainment. We areall familiar with the disagreeable commonplaces at- tending the private and social features of such conventions held in other parts of the country. These consist solely in a scramble for hotel accommodations and in a speedy return home afrer the ad- journment. The experience in California would be altogether different. Besides the unaided pleasure of simply seeing a strange and beautiful country with natural, social and industrial conditions utterly unlike those to be seen in any other part of the Union and singularly attractive in themselves, will be the enjoyment of a hospitality such es no other State has any reason or inclination to extend. A better under- standing of its character may be had from a statement of the manner in which it will be exercised and the peculiar delights which will be the incidents of its ex- pression, Long before the convention will have ad- journed, and possibly even before it has assembled, representatives of the various sections of the State will have agreed upon plans for the entertainment of the visitors. The outcome of this will be arrangements for the free transportation of the visitors all over the State on some agreed system of distribution, the wishes of the visitors themselves of course being consulted. Let us for example follow the course of the party which will be taken over the Coast Division of the Southern Pacific Company. They will first be'stopped at the Stanford University, which will be a revelation; they will see the splendid homes of the millionaires along the line and a part of the wealth of the Santa Clara Valley as represented by its vineyards and orchards. At San Jose they will be quartered at the best hotels without charge, and then the royal hospitality of the residents will come into full play. The visitors will be given a reception by the citizens. A gorgeous floral display will be made. Carriages will be on hand to convey the delegates to the great Lick Observatory on Mount Hamil- ton and through many of the thousands of orchards and vineyards that carpet the valley. The strangers will be shown where wine is made and stored, and at every turn its good flavor will be freely and abundantly in evidence. They will see olive orchards and great fruit-drying and fruit-canning establishments, and many fascinating in- dustries entirely novel to their experience. After seeing all these things the party will be taken further south. The unique sugar-beet industry, which is conducted on so large a scale at Watsonville, will be in- spected, and the trip will end at Monterey, the quaint, beautiful, historical old Span- ish town which gave birth to California’s constitution, and which has the Hotel del Monte and a charming variety of other at- tractions. At whatever town the train may halt the citizens will turn out with offerings of hospitality. The train will be loaded with wine, fruit and flowers, banquets and bar- becues will be given and every other thing done that can express a hearty good-fel- lowship based on prosperity and a gener- ous desire that all others might be able to enjoy the bounties that abound in the homes and lives of Californians. This is but one of the numerous itinera- ries that will be arranged for. Each itin- erary will have its own distinctive charms, for each will bring to view some strange condition, scene or industry that is pecu- liarly its own, and each will be accompa- nied by that hearty hospitality for which Californians have a unique distinction. In Southern California the leading men and women of Los Angeles, S8an Diego, San Bernardino, San Luis Obispo and other cities of similar importance will take the visitors in hand. In the San Joaquin and Sacramento valleys similar steps will be taken, and all over the State there wiil be joy and jubilation in honor of the strangers within our gates. If these reasons—and we have even weightier ones to present hereafter—are not an inducement we have a small under- standing of human nature and ot the value which it rightly ascribes to good-fellowship and wholesome pleasure. EUREKA'S OARNIVAL. In making preparations for a carnival on an elaborate scale Eureka is giving the highest expression of the spirit of enter- prise which recently has filled its citizens with enthusiasm. This event will occur on the 18th, 19th ana 20th ef July, and is to have the picturesque name of “*Sequoia Carnival.” It is to be a pleasure feast on an elaborate scale, in which both the land in foreign products. and - water features of its attractive en- vironment will be employed. Not only will all the residents of Humbeldt County be brought to the city on free trains, but the ocean lines, which afford communica- tion to all points up and down the co'ust, will give special low rates for the occasion. The difficulties under which this cele- bration is underiaken show the grit and public spirit of the people and their detex_'- mination to make it a success. An evi- dence of this feeling was the enthusiastic meeting of 150 business men held this week tor the purpose of opening a campaign of brogress. The carnival is to serve as an inauguration of a comprehensive scheme by which the attractions and resources of Humboldt are to be made known and the splendid natural resources of the county developed. That the people of Eureka are unanimons in their desire to accomplish the best results is shown in the liberality with which they are subscribing to the carnival fund. Undoubtedly the co-operation of the Half-million Club of San Francisco will be cheerfully added to the efficiency of Eureka’s efforts, This wiil mean’ special efforts to secure a large excursion of resi- dents and visiting strangers in this part of the State. Eureka, by reason of its having 1o rail connection with other parts of the State, has been seen by comparatively few Californians, and as it is entirely off the line of tourst travel the superb beauties and boundless wealth of the region lying back of it have received hardly any atten- tion at the hands of writing travelers. Being so different from other parts of the State it is a novelty, and is worth seeing on that account. For hunters, fishermen and health and pleasure seekers, it is a rare paradise, the noble forests of virgin redwood showing the sequoia in allits solemn majesty. Itisinevitable that a railroad will soon connect Eureka with the bay of San Fran- cisco. Until that is accomplished the at- tractions of Humboldt County must bein a measure sealed against the world. This is the great problem that its people are determined to solve. { A HOME TRIUMPH. It has not been long since the Cary de- plored the fact that in spite of the presence of many excellent woolen-mills in Califor- nia the Police Department of S8an Fran- cisco used the product of French looms for the uniforms of policemen. It is there- fore a most agreeable duty to announce that the Golden Gate Woolen-mills of San Francisco have so clearly demonstrated their ability to compete with French manu- facturers as to cause their cloths to be pre- ferred by the Police Commissioners. The proof was made very simply and easily. When the Golden Gate Company recently complained that the Police Department was discriminating against a California product it was explained that California could not produce a beaver cloth to equal thatof France. The company asked that it be permitted to exhibit its beaver along- side the French article. No sooner had this been done than the Commissioners saw its excellence and adopted it without hesitation. The effect of this action reaches much fur- ther than the profit which the Golden Gate Mills will secure from the sale of cloth for some hundreds of police uniforms. TItis notice to streetcar and railway companies and to all others throughout the State, who require their employes to wear navy- blue beaver uniforms, that S8an Francisco is produeing a material which the Police Commissioners have preferred above the French, which hitherto has been regarded as the best in the world. If all California consumers of this cloth should follow the example set by the Police Commissioners the California weaving and dyeing industry would be greatly enlarged by the demand for this one article alone. There is a still broader effect. It is rea- sonable to assume that if we can surpass France in this one exceedingly difficult product we can turn out other kinds of cloth of similar excellence, and hence that in most of the kinds used in the manufac- ture of men’s clothing we have an adequate home supply that leaves no excuse what- ever for sending away our money to invest THE “CALL'S” NEWS SERVICE. From last night's Daily Report. The Report congratulates the CALL upon the fact that it has joined The United Press, and the CALL’S readers are to be congratulated too. In adding to its news resources the vast and well-handled facilities of the United Press the CALL gives further evidence of the enterprise and good judgment that has characterized its new management. The Report has had long experience with The United Press, and can, with knowledge, speak of the speed, accuracy and comprehensiveness of its service—a service which it is constantly improving and keeping abreast of the latest ideas in news gathering and news delivery. The CALL has been a great paper ever since Mr. Shortridge toog itin hand, but the public will find that with the assistance of The United Press it will be much greater. The CALL will take the morning news of The United Press and the Report takes the evening news, and between the two the people of San Francisco will get all the news and get it in good shape. MRS. WILSON'S PLAN FOR HELPING -HER HUSBAND. To the Editor of the Call—Sir: Several days ago there appeared in your columns a para- graph under “People Talked About” that places a most noble lady under an unjust and unfair light. I refer to Mrs. Postmaster-Gen- eral Wilson. It was stated that “She had never taken any interest in the public career of Mr. Wilson.” This is not only a fiction, but a very cruet one, for knowiag the family as Ido— being a former restdent of Charlestown, W. Va.—I know that Mrs. Wilson hasalways taken the liveliest interest in her husband’s wonder- ful political advancement. Being of a very re- tiring disposition, she has not seen fit to enter tha glamour of Washington’s official society, but has shown & greater and grander devotion toMr. Wilson’s interests by making for him the happiest of homes, thereby enabling him the sooner to reach the goal of his aspirations. She has shown hLerself to be a noble wife and mother by her unceasing attention to the proper rearing and cultivation of a most inter- esting family of boys and girls, instilling into them that true spirit of manhood and woman- hood g0 much nceded and so seldom encoun- tered in this age of selfish aggrandizement. Very respectfully, FraNg H. DUKESMITH, San Francisco, June 21, 1895. SUPPOSED TO BE HUMOROUS. Miriam—Now you are out here at Lonesome- hurst you must fairly revel in fresh vegetables, dear.

I was in New York at the time, and Robert Mantell and Katie Stokes were playing at one of the big theaters. They were having & new play Writ- ten by some celebrated playwright, and, as ad- vance proofs had been distributed, it was the talk of the town. The piece was called “Tangled Lives,” gnd was pronounced by every one to be exceptionally strong. I venture the asser- tion that no drama of recent years created such an amount of talk before the bill-posters gotin their little work, and I am sure that none were ever o much laughed about after- ward., v “The management wanted to spring a sort of surprise, so the bill-posting was postponed un- til the night before the first performance. When New York got up the next morning flar- ing bills met their gaze, but instead of ‘Tangied Lives’ the printing-house had made them read, ‘Robert Mantell and Katie Stokes in “Tangled Livers.”’ On every side—hotels, Dbarrooms, barber-shops and restaurants—was the startling announcement that ‘Tangled Liv- ers’ would be presented that night. 4 “Well, that killed the play. It was just simply leughed to death. The papers took it up and made all sorts of fun of play, author and actors, A big damage suit followed, and I believe the printing company was finally forced to put up several thousand dollars as & sort of compromise.” Louis Ghirardelli is a believer in practical patriotism. He was talking yesterday about the work of the late Manufacturers’ conven- tion snd its attempt to induce Californians to patronize home industries. *‘There are a good many people here who have a prejudice in favor of foreign goods, and many of them are Americans, too, mind you. Take such an article as Colman’s mustard, for in- stance. The Colmans get most of their mus- tard seed from this country, ship it over to Englana and ship back the manufactured ar- ticle, paying duty, and get 20 to 40 per cent more for it than mustard made here of the same seed. It is simply Colman's name that sells it. So it is with cigars, wines and many other articles. But the work that the CALL has been doing is having a good effect, and the time will come when people will quit paying higher prices for the same grade of goods because they bear foreign labels. “Nine-tenths of the chocolate consumed in California is manufactured in this City of cocoa beans imported irom Ecuador. The rest is imported from France, where it is made from beans from the same place, and, of course, is higher priced.” The lobby of the California Hotel was littered up last night with the impedimenta of the mighty bear hunter, Charles M. Stone, who isoff to-day for the mountains about the upper part of the McCloud River in pursuit of his fayorite game. With him go his wife and sister and Mrs. Warfield and Emerson Warfield. The party will go ninety miles from the railroad, moving much of the distance on muleback, and will be supplied with & pack of hounds, three servants and an claborate outfit in the way of tents and other camping paraphernalia. They expect to be gone five weeks. John Currie, the noted Scotch evangelist, who before he took up his present calling was one of the best-known trainers and backers of tootracers in this country and Scotland and England, is making bis headquarters at Pacific Grove for & time, but comes to town occasion- ally. The other day some friends were speak- ing of the table at the Palace Hotel. “While you are on the subject of bills of fare,” said Mr. Currie, “let me show you one that I got up nine years ago while at work at & mission in Brooklyn, N. Y., and I think you will admit that it is up to any that you can produce, even in this City famed for its res- taurants. Itso tickled some of the tough boys that were about the mission in Brooklyn that through it some of them became great Bible students and are useful men to-aay back East.” The following is John Currie’s bill of fare: BIBLICAL DINNER.

The Paris Le Monde Illustre in its current issue devotes some space to & deseription of & bicycle driven by means of a petrolenm motor. The inventor is M. Millet, who claims tor the apparatus speed, durability and smoothness of action. The invention is thus described: *‘The ap- paratus supplying the motive power is a rotary one. It consists of five eylinders mounted on the spokes of the hind wheel. In each of these cylinders a piston commences to move the crank connected with the wheel at the precise moment when the piston of the neighboring cylinder ceases its work. As in all petroleum motors, the action is produced by the explosion of amixture of air and petroleum gas. The air is exhausted at the bottom of the machine by means of an exhanst valve, and then filtered. The petroleum gas proceeds from a gasoline expense every child whose parents are un willing to assume the parental responsibilities that nature and society enjoin. upon them But the purposes of that institution have be.. come shamefully perverted.—San Jose Mercury judicions and square fight against lottericsy will deive them.out of the .State.

The mixture of the two gases enters the explosion chambers by & tube leading to each cylinder, surrounding a distributing shank or rod, which opens and closes the admission valve at the time desired. At the larger part of each chamber standing out between two poles, an electric spark causes the mixture of the two guses to explode. This spark proceeds from an induction spool en- veloped in an ebonite case raised above. The current is furnished to the spool or bobbin by a Bunsen battery placed behind and between the two wheels, and which swings according as it is desired for the machine to move or remain stationary. The small oil reservolrs, which in the illustration are placed half way between the spool and the battery, are designed for purposes of oiling. The forked arrangement, the extremities oi which are noticed on each side,and at the back of the hind wheel, is & kind of parachute, which, when it is lowered by the play of a lever placed under the saddle, permits the machine to turn about and the rider to seat himself on the saddle. ‘The pedals only respond to the rider’s action at will, i. e., at the actual moment of starting, and the rider can regulate the action by tura- ing the handles in the direction wished. The speed obtainable with this machine on the road is fifty-five kilometers an hour. consumption ot oil is one litre for every forty kilometers traveled. E.ough oil is contained | in the machine for a twelve hours' journey. PERSONAL. Dr. W. C. Jones of Grass Valley is registered at the Lick., Ex-Judge F. E.

With England gold monometallism is very valuable as a means to get more out of nations, but there is no reason why the United State: should play the part of lemon for the British | money-loaner to squeeze every dollar out of.— Los Angeles Express. Arizona is “getting there” with both feet. In one week she shipped nearly 21,000 head of cattle. That is beef enough for a square meal for 10,000,000 to 15,000,000 people, providing there are no vegetarian cranks among them.— Phenix (Ariz.) Gazette. Herd times feed on the man that growls and bemoand his fate, but soon gets away from the presence of the man that gets up and rustles. Just so with communities. Those where the people get a move on soon laugh at i hard times.—Hanford Sentinel. With festivals, laughter, Californians are celebrating the new era of prosverity which, like gentle dew from heaven, 15 spreading over the land. He must, indeed, be & misanthropist who does not see in these joyous gatherings a harbinger of the glorious future of our State.—Santa Rosa Star. music and song It is superfluous to revort, from time to tinte, that the revenues do not improve and that the annuel deficit does not diminish.

That man will never amount to much because he does not realize that great men are great simply because they themselves make the opportunity by which they climb to greatness.—Woodland Mail. Good streets, good health and good times.are component parts of that publie policy which stands for improvement and results in pros- perity.

Everything necessary for a festival or cele- bration requires labor; the laborer and his em. ployers get the money, and 1t soon comes back to the original source.

While the streets of the city are models too many of the-sidewalks in their weed-overgrown condition are & posi- tive disgrace. The resident owner takes a { pride in keeping his property in presentable condition, but the general effect of his efforts is negatived by the neglect of his non-resident neighbor, who sits supinely and content to ac- cept the benefits of increased property values made possible by the improvements ofothers.— Alameda Telegram.
