TIE REPUBLICANS pRIm saY.

The Republicans of Sacramento to-day
hold primary election to select nominees.
The chief interest centers upon the choice
of candidate for Second Trustee Two
gentlemen are before their party for the
nomination-W. F. Knox and John Ryan.
The party is fortunate in having such can
didates presented. Both are old citizens
of unquestionsble integrity and capability,
enjoying the confidence and esteem of the
people, Both have been tried in the Office,
and each has served us with faithfulness,
ability and honesty. This should be suf-
ticient guarantee that which ever is chosen
will discharge his trust and administer the
affairs of the city according to his best
Judgment and the law which must be his
guide It is therefore matter for
the exercise of the personal judg-
ment of the voters as between two
competent men. But Republicans should
not, therefore, be apathetic. There
should be no passive selection. 1t
is OF the highest Importance that the party
voice should be heard strong and full; it
ia the duty of every voter attached to the
party to attend at the polls and vote. The
effect of full vote can scarcely be over
estimated. Men owe it to themselves and
to the city to make the choice pronounced.
By laxity of interest there should be fur
nished no excuse for grumbling or after
objecting and discomfort. As to the can.
didates for the other offices, it is also a
matter of personal choice, and the same
rule should be observed as to them. their
competency and integrity being unques-
toned.

THE FRUIT PEST CUES ZION.

EDS. RECORD. UNION: The Natema Com
pany, of Folsom, have made much Pre- para
items for the extension of their famous or
chards and vineyards, which already have
reputation reaching to the ether side of tie
continent. But having put their own house
in order, by thoroughly renovsting, scrapipg,
spraying aud burning the debris from every
tcee, state that they realize the fact that all
their time, labor and money will have been
spent in vain If uncleaned orchards in the
immediate vicinity, or infected trees scattered
throughout the town, are permitted TO remain
q standing menace to their enterprise. Such
orchards and trees are virtually prupsgatipg
qusrters for recruiting the Invading army Of
the destructive ding moth and Other insects
which spread devast ion in their path. The
Nstoma Company have OF their own expense
had thorough examination made by their
orchsrdis5 of all the trees in the proximity,
and which has ultsd, it is sale, In the dis
closure of q most lamentable state of facts.
They tind great majority of the trees not
only badly infected, but a great many old
trees, from years of neglect, are literally
swarming with the destructive agents in the
various stages Of development, and evince a
capacity for breeding enough to stock the en-
tire State furnishing irresistible proof of the
necessity of law to compel the cleaning and
spraying Of trees, and burning of the debris
from all fruit-bearing treeI if the quality of
the fruit crop ia to be improved, and its total
destruction prevented.
But if dog.in-the-manger policy Is Co pre-
vail, and in this glorious Tree country" any
one is to bs permitted to rase crop of cod
ling moth or any other "varmintn that he
may choose upon his domain, we might as
well extend the area of freedom to an IN
limited extent, and Danish boards OF health

such vital interest TO the er5wers, and 60 con.

seem to be az much entitled TO prote ction
