4 NATURAL MISTAKE.

correspondent informs US that down
In the southern counties the farmers have
quite generally fallen into the error OF
supposing that all the campaign speakers
who are now filling appointments in that
region are stamping for Stoneman. We
are not much surprised that such mistake
should have occurred, for it is certainly
quite natural under the circumstances,
The Republicans are after all only furnish
ing the voters with reasons for supporting
the Democratic ticket. They have done
nothing but follow suit in this campaign.
They have not a single Issue of their own.
and they have not single issue upon which
they antagonizs the Democrats. All the
anti.railroad talk of the Republican speak.
ers only suggests the important considera-
tion that the Republican anti-railroad issue
was put in solely in order to surpass the
Democrats in their own line. The Demo.
Gratis made that line their own at San Jose.
The Republicans simply followed and
copied them. 1t is therefore by no
means astonishing that simple Dem
ocratic voters should suppose the
Republican campaigners to be work
ing in the interest of Stoneman, for
that is really what they are doing. 1t does
not need much sagacity to reach the con-
clusion that if the anti-railroad programme
Is right, the Democrats have pre-. emption
claim upon it. They originated the cry,
and they are the only ones who can be
credited with anything ike sincerity. The
Republican programme is iagrantly dema-
gogical. There can be no doubt that it
was arranged without the remotest thought
of principle or conviction. The southern
county grangers are sharp enough to see
the point OF the situation, ard it is evident
from what our correspondent says that the
Republican addresses are only making
votes for the Democrats. Oar readers will
do us the justice to recall the fact that this
is precisely what we warned the Repub-
hcan Convention of. We showed that
body very plainly that if it Endorsed the
Democratic programme it would help its
opponents, and throw away its own oppor.
tunities, and now this is coming TO pass.

THE FARM CONTROVERSY.

A stimulus has been given to the contro-
versy over the large and small farm CUES.
ton, by the discordant opinions of Messrs.
La Rue and Shorb, as expressed in their
addresses at the State Fair. This. howev.
er, is really one of those questions which
can only be settled by experiment, and all
such questions settle themselves. If small
farms pay better than large ones, that fact
will be sufficient to determine the question
as to which kind shall prevail Ii, on the
other hand, large farms are the most prof
liable, the outcome will be the disappear
ance of small farms. 1t is useless to think
of influencing such matters by mere argu-
ment The real question is whether or not
our plain lands are fitted for diversified
farming. If they are, we may look for di-
versitied farming to appear in due time. If
they are not, there will be no diversified
farming. Thus far il will have to be ad-
mitted that the tendency in that direction
has been very faint. The absence of suf-
ficient water for irrigation, and the neces-
sity of irrigation for diversified farming
may perhaps be regarded as explaining
this. But it is matter for practical tests,
and it can only be determined in that way.
1t will not do to take particularly favored
localities like Napa valley, for example,
and to argue that because diversified farm.
ing has been found possible there, therefore
it is possible in the San Joaquin and Sac
ramento valleys. As a rule most countries
find out what form of agriculture best suits
them, and they follow that The same
principle will apply here, and twenty years
hence it will no doubt be possible to derive
trustworthy conclusions from the data at.

has not, perhaps, proceeded for enough for

TIE GRAIN YIELD OF CALIFORNIA

White & Lissak, of San Francisco, have
issued their annual estimate of the acreage
seeded to wheat and barley in this State for
the harvest year of 1882 1t shows the acre
age for each county in the State, and is based
on the assessed acreage Of lands We give
the table below in full. While this table
has its value, it will be noted that it is incom-
plete without the showing of the yield per
acre, and this is as yet unattainsble, because
no system has been adopted in this State for
ascertsiniDg the average yield per acre. In
recent articles in this paper a plan was sug.
gested by which this valuable factor in our
wheat statistics could be obtained, to wit
by securing from the thrashers ia each couhty
reports OF the yield per acre. The best agri-
cultural authorities have agreed that this is
entirely prac5icIbl and it is to be hoped
that before another harvest seasons soma
such plan will have been put into practice.
Tne value of such returns are to be seen at a
glance. In their absence we are forced to rely
upon mere estimates, add these are largely
guess work. From a prominent miller of
this State we have estimates hlch we pre-
sent herewith. Other estimates in this rela-
tion will be Of value and we invite CORE
spondents to consider the subject and give Is
the result of their studies and calculations,

TIE PLEA FOR NIAGARA.

The attempt to rescue the scenery of
Niagara, especially upon the American
side, from the sordidness and trade ugli-
ness now rapidly invading and threaten
ing to destroy its beauties, has hitherto
met no success. The proposals to erect a
national park there, for New York to
purchase the ground, for Congress to take
the matter IN hand, have come to nothing
There has been plenty of talk, and gen.
eral admission that the charms of Niagara
are being removed by the utilitarian hand
OF commerce, but there is evidently no
practical interest In the question. This is
curious. It might have been thought that
Americans generally would have taken
pride in preserving the natural beauties of
the majestic waterfall, and that there
would have been q strong and general
sentiment in favor of action of that kind.
But there appears to be no appreciate
interest in the question. The American
people do not seem to care what happens
10 Niagara. They are absorbed IN business
or politics or something more tangible and
lucrative. Their faculties are fully EN-.
ployed in making money They have
neither time nor inclination for paying at
tention to the beautiful. Perhaps the ma.
jority of them only think of Niagara as an
" almighty water-power which is running
to waste. As last resort it is now pro-
posed that an attempt should be made to
enlist the interest of American women in
this question. This endeavor will show
whether they have any love of Nature or
are absorbed in material existence, and
bound up with fashion and frivolity. The
failure of all efforts to secure the sympa-
thy and support of the public in this most
laudable undertaking, however, is very
discreditable to the popular intelligence.

THAT DAMIErTA PUZZLE

The reports about Damietta are wonder.
fully confused. The story of Abdallah
Pasha's murder by his soldiers is contra
dicted, and on the same day it is stated
that Damietta has been surrendered, that
the garrison refuses to surrender, that Alb
dallah has gone to Cairo, that his men will
not let him go, and so forth. The general
result seems to be that the place has not
yet surrendered, but whether it is held
by Abdallah or by his men, or whether the
men have mutinied against him, it is i'm
possible to say. No doubt it will yield as
soon as a sufficient force is concentrated
upon it, but if it does not it will certainly
be taken without loss of time, for it is not
capable of protracted defense, and there
are no Egyptian troops at all disposed to
make martyrs of themselves.

want upon the simple and easy condition of
eonceding justice and fair play to the cor
poration. Let them repudiate the dema-
gogues. Let them recognize the venality
and dishonesty of these latter. Let them
refuse to put men in Office because they
profess to be "reliable enemies of that
corporate body which more than all other
agencies combined has been instrumental
IN developing the resources of the State,
and in improving the condition of the
people.
Let them refuse to accept the malignant
falsehoods of the Matchmaking journals

railroad as scapegoat for their own sins.
Let them refuse to believe every oalumny
that any irresponsible penny.a-iner or
characterless office hunter asserts about the
railroad. Let them disclaim the intention
to contiscate the property of these their
fellow-citizens. Let them discard the
monstrous doctrines of property rights

clare by their actions that they only want

OMNIBUS ORDINATIONS.

The expressions of the English journals,
and particularly of the London Times, in
regard to the disposal of the Suez Canal
must be read with serious uneasiness by
M. de Lesseps. The Times intimates
that it may be necessary to take the canal
out of the hands of the company, and it is
clear that this is possible as the case
stands, since France will do nothing to
prevent it. The Times foreshadowsa sort of
conversion of the canal into free passage.

popular measure outside of the canal com.
pany's Office, but it would not meet the
approval of NJ. de Lesseps. He cannot,
however, help himself, no matter what is
proposed or done.

THE IsrERnATIosAL RIFLE MATCH.

The British military rifle team defeated
the American team very badly at Greed.
moor, and ever since the New York Jour.
malls have been vying with one another in
the invention Of plausible explanations of
this outcome. The general conclusion
seems to be that the Englishmen had had
more practice, and were armed with better
weapons. The American rifles carried too
heavy cartridges. and as under the military
regulations the marksmen were not al.
lowed to clean their guns during the firing,
the American rifles became foul with half.
burned powder. The English arms, on the
other hand, were as nearly perfect as pos
sible. They were so constructed as to burn
the whole of the charge in expelling the
ball, and they did not foul. The English.
men, however, had been practising for
years, while their opponents had only shot
for months, and no doubt the main differ.
ence in the results was due to this. But
il is important to note that though this
was military match, between the yolun.

juxtapcsition in the same platform. The
fourth plank demands Free Trade. The
fifth plank demands Protection. This is
quite new method of making platforms,
but We are not sure that it has not some
advantages over the old ones. 1t is true

with eccentricities. 1t demands that Con-

posed "to sending lawyers or bankers to
make laws" which means, we suppose,
that the Greenbackers are opposed to any
interference by educated men with legisla-
tive functions. These people would appar-
emily permit none but "cranks" to make
laws; and yet it may be thought that the
"cranks " are even now more than suffi-
GENTLY represented in our legislatures.
They declare their opinion that the world
would be better off without gold. They
advance some Enthusiastically lunatic
ideas on land tenure, and direct voting
upon statutes, and various other things.
and they are very fierce against the press,
which is called upon to spportion to them
the ridicule they earn go fully. Altogether
this Greenbacker Convention was a singu-
lar illustration of the tendency to develop
something closely approaching real insanity
in politics, but it mas no other significance
of any kind.

considerations against the limited term sys-

necessary preface to any system which
may be adopted. And by thus insisting

teer and militia forces of the two countries,
neither team was armed with the common
military rifle used by their respective corps.
And as whatever practical benefit arises
from these contests must be due to the
increased efficiency of the volunteer and
militia with their regulation weapons, it is
rather hard to understand how this end
can be gained by employing an entirely
different arm for the matches. If the reg
ulatlon guns are incapable of being used
for accurate shooting at long range, this
fact should be known, and better arm be
procured. Clearly it is desirable that
whatever efficiency is obtained should be
with the regulation rife, no matter what
its pattern.
