MUsIcIPAL REFoRm AGAIN.

It is rumored that citizens' movement
is on foot in the city OF New York to take
municipal affairs out of politics. Such
movements, where aincere, are commenda.
BILE. We hold, and have recently shown,
that State and national politics have moth,
ing necessarily to do with the administra-
tion of municipal affairs. It is the judg.
ment Of the wisest minds of the day that
municipal administrations should be di-
voroed from party, and that such divorce
ment is better not only for municipal gov
ernment, but infinitely better for the polit-
ioal parties themselves, since there is q
natural jealousy in rural districts against
the political rule of cities. This political
domination in cities is almost universally in
that of few interruptions ward bosses,
who, by reason of the power they have in
city administrations, and through city
patronage, WELD great influence in State
and national political organizations. De-
prive municipal administration of political
significance, and State and national pol.
itics are at once relieved Of burdens that
trammel and clogs that retsrd, while the
cities themselves are no longer the prey of
the mere Office seeking and trading, the
ward-manipulating and the primary direct

TEE HoMEsFEADs SECURED IN Twenty
YEARS,

a Chicago paper recalls to memory the
fact that in 1860 the Republican party,
then havingno power to perform, promised,
il vested with authority, to put a home-
stead law upon the national statute books.
The Democrats, who can't help getting on
the other side, stood out in opposition
to it, and raising the constitutional ques.
ton managed to delay action. But though
the war retarded it. the fulhllment of the
promise was realized to the country. 1t
now appears, from statistical report CON-
piled by the Inter.Ocean, that from the
date of the Act, March 20, 1862, to June
80, 1888, there were no less than COS, $50
homesteads taken up. Now this is per-
formance tbs. counts.n Had the Demo
cratic policy prevailed we should have been
poorer by that number of homes, since it
cannot be assumed that those who "took
up" under the Act would have purchased
lands of the Government under other land
systems. On the contrary the contrary
must be presumed. II we admit, how
ever, that goodly number entered home.

Vt WILL NOT BE ABANDONED.

We are, by telegraph, informed that the
commander of the United States steamer
Pensacola, now en- route to China. reports
to the authorities at Washington that dur
ing his stay in the Sandwich Islands he
was impressed with the fears OF American
residents that the reciprocity treaty is in
danger. Il ID there believed that its abro-
CATION will result most disastrously to
American interests, and that on account OF
the great numbers who will be thrown
out of employment the property Of Ameri.
cans will be insecure. He suggests that
a man. of-war be sent to Honolulu to insure
quiet in case the treaty is disturbed.
The treaty will be continued, and prob
ably by this time the residents in the
islands are convinced of that fact. The
assault upon .he convention was wanton
and unwa7rantable one, and those who
promoted it have something to answer for

JOURNALISM AND POLITICS.

We concur with the San Francisco
Bulletin when it remarks that the profes.
sion of journalism cannot be allied with
politics. As it well Gays, the two pursuits
are wholly incompatible. There can no
more be an honest alliance between the
critic and the author than between jour-
nalism and politics. The Bulletin thus re-.
iterates what all true journalists long
since realized, and that is, that the paper
in this day which has influence and COM
mands the respect Of the thoughtful citi-
zen, is that one which is not tied to the
apron strings of any party. Journalism is
synonym ior Independence, A political
organ never was, never can be journal.

DIXON.

The pleasant town Of Dixon now contains
about 200 inhabitants It lies in one of the
best agricultural regions in the State, and is
but tweuty-one miles from Sacramento. The
principal product in the vicinity is grain, but
considerable fruit is grown, and the best wine
grapes 10 the SAFE are produced in that Sec
ton. Pleasant Valley, lying not far from
the town, raises So fine fruit Of all 6escrip-
tions as can bs RAISED in any valley in the
State. This was Bho8n by the exhibits Of
the late State Far.
Dixon is regularly laid out, and the streets
and ysrds contain beautiful shade trees. The
public schools employ four teachers. iuclud-

edited by Il. Is. Leake, who is well known in
Sacramento and was formerly Assemhlyman
from Solano county, it may be said that it is
one OF the best papers in the State, when the
size OF the town in which it is published Is
taken into consideration. Altogether the
prospects for this town are very Rattering,
ana at no very far distant day it may become
the principal town of SolaDo county.
