California fanners are g-owing

the oflers of the railroads to trans
port him fr.e to Washington and
paid for his tr"in. This was very
commendable. The salary which
the people pay their president is suf

They prefer that he ahall be indebt-1

to eutdo each other in the matter of

of them seems to be preparing for a
fight Afghanistan, which seems
to be the key to India, is the bone
of contention. Both want it.
Neither of them haa any lagal or
moral right to it. If England ia to
