What an Eastern Journalist Thinks
Of California People.
THEIR ATTACHMENT TO THE UNION NOT

A PACIFIC COAST REPUBLIC.


s. NEW IOKky April y.
An Eastern journalist, who has returned
from California, after three year, expert.
ence of newspaper work in San Francisco,
said Of affairs on the Pacific Coast. in . re-
cent conversation The people care very
little abont what goes on in the East.
Their attachment to the Union 10 not
strong; il there should ever arise . second
secession movement it will not be in the
South, but in California. The Democrats
there are hostile to the Union, often openly
80, and the Republicans are Indifferent.
One often hears talk Of . Pacific Coast Re-
public. There ID much complaint OF the
ignorance and carelessness OF Congress
with regard to the interests of the coast.
Land legislation, for example, is i~ll-adapted
to the region Of verdure, and is conse.
quently not at ell adapted to the arid sage
brush region, where agriculture depends
on irrigation. There is not much induce
ment for emigration to California, and
none at all for men to go without capital.
The policy Of the great land owners il to
discourage immigration. Their plan has
been to divide society into two classes
the wealthy proprietors and the pro-
letarial. I am glad to sec that
. few land-holders are taking . now
course. and are dividing their immense es-
tates into small tracts. California would
support double or treble her present rural
population, but the land system must be
changed, and facilities for irrigation devel-
oped and utilized. Pretty much all the
land that can be probably cultivated,
without irrigation. is already occupied.
The peculiar climate Of California will
eventually develops peculiar population.
l think II sees signs OF this already in
tho vonpoor Uoparatinn Tn G~r E~o-n~
where the fogs prevail, tho young people
are plump, rosy-cheeked. handsome, rather
indolent, and fond Of pleasure, while those
born and reared in the arid interior are
somewhat like the Arabs. dark, slender
and supple. / don't think there will ever
be . robust intellectual life in San Fran
cisco. the climate is too equablo. Music
and the arts will flourish, Is they do in
Italy, and it is possible that intercourse
with Asia will develop . tendency to mysti-
cism in philosophy and religion. The fu-
ture of California and the whole Pacific
Coast is . fruitful field for speculation, aud
its present condition 10 an interesting sub
ject for study.
A Three-CoIumn Interview with
Hendricks.
NEW YoRx, April o.
The Worlds" interview with Hem
bricks fills three columns.
In a leading editorial, . to-day, the
" World" says: We received from
Pittsburg this morning . dispatch sent
from that city last night BY Tilden,
in which be calls upon the Democrats Of
the Union to mako the frauds Of 1876 the
great issue in 1880. Hendricks. it will b
seen, is in no such helpless and useless
condition - this. In the eyes Of Hem
bricks, the fraud issue Of 1876 il but .
part and parcel Of the greater issue Of local
self-government against the overbearing
Capitalization. While the friends and foes
alike Of the Eastern candidate, who was
out Of the Presidency in 1878,
are quArreling over the peoples right and
duty to avenge that wrong. tho Western
candidate, who was defrauded OF the Vice
Presidency, rises with the great masses Of
