Norton P. Chipman, Supreme Court Commissioner, spoke on “Right- eous Citizenship in the Vote.” His re- marks were pertinent and he dealt in a masterly manner with the various phases of his subject.

A not- able instance of this revolting spirit of a party was the defeat of the Republican candidate for Governor in this State in 1894, ELECT MEN OF INTEGRITY. Governmental policies do not usually involve questions of morals or religious bellef; besides, they are comstantly changing, policies giving way to new ones, to meet the ever-changing_conditions of the country and the people. The people are not so seriously afected by policies which, for the time, may be enforced by the party in power, as they be by an unwise and dishonest administra. tioh of those policies. Our form of government admits of quick repeal of laws found to be unwise, an: readily adjust our business to changes in the Jaws when honestly administered. But for corruptly enacted laws and a corrupt admin- ietration of laws we have but scant and tardy relief.

BOOMING STATE N GOOD STYLE New York Paper Concern- ing People of California RS S OTHERS FURNISH FACTS Moy sl Resources and Advantages of Land Bordering on Pacific Furnish Alluring Theme The New York World has issued a Californja number at the suggestion of the California Promotion Commit- tee. It is said to be the best California number ever published by any paper outside the State. Amcng the contrib- utors are Governor Pardee, James D. Phelan, Bernard Moses, Charles Keeler, | Helen Gompertz Le Conte, Andrea 8barboro, Benjamin Ide Wheeler, Lewis E, Aubury, A. J. Wells, Edmund O'Neil, Rufus P. Jennings, E. J. Wick- son and Benjamin C. Wright. The committee announces that three of the most prominent monthly maga- zines will devote extended space to the State. Arrangements are being made to publish California numbers in lead- ing FEuropean papers. Through the courtesy of President Wheeler of the | University of California articles upon the State’'s resources and products will be translated into different languages. Governor George C. Pardee pays a striking tribute to California under the caption, “California, State of the West.” He writes that mightier progress awaits In the near | future. After dwelling at length upon the resources’of the State, Governor Pardee closes his article as follows: Yet, while all these things are true, while | California has been endowed lavishly by the | Creator with all the forms of material wealth | and has been robed in beauty, it is people and not resources that make -great States. There are few countries blessed with natural riches to an equal extent with England, and vet we seldom think of that in connection with Eng- land’s greatness. To few lands has nature given more grudgingly than to New England, but this has not prevented her people from be- coming rich through thrift and intelligenc Germany, which is in large part a great, plain, i naturaily far poorer than neighbors, but her population is sources which exist within itself. A people not to be matched in energy, pa- tience, pluck and executive ability—this is the highest praise bestowed upon us by our Eng- lish critic. California started right; she was peopled by the strong: the weak were not able to get here in the exciting race which followed the gold rush. There was a mixture of ele- ments in that immigration, but the virile type prevailed, and; upon the whole, the *‘forty- niners”” were well educated men. They desired the advantages of education for their children, and one of their first governmental acts was to establish the public school system upon a foundation of Iiberality wkich compared with the very best examples to be found anywhere.
