IMMIGRATION AND NORTHERN CALL
F0REIA.

When this journal in August last as
sumed the initiative in calling together
representative men of northern California
to consider the propriety of forming an i'm
migration association to labor for the whole
northern and central section, it clearly
foresaw the broad possibilities of such an
organization. The Convention thus called
proved to be one of the most important
assemblages ever convened in the State.
The central and contributory societies
were formed, and all the plans for their
operation laid out The work has thus far
progressed favorabIy 1t has not been as
speedy as some hoped for. But it must be
remembered that it is a great work; one
that must meet with obstacles-but only to
overcome them. No such work can pro-
coed rapidly. If nothing more had been
accomplished than the agitation of last fall,
it would have compensated for all the
labor that brought it about Northern and
central California are far better known
abroad now by reason of it than before or
than they were ever likely to be- But the
organization has been effected, competent
officers are in place they are laboring
asSiduously, and we believe with quite as
much success as there was any reason 20
expect up to this time. The harvest of
their sowing cannot be looked for at once.
The settling up of great country is
matter of slow movement, but enc that ac-
CELEBRATES in momentum constantly. With
he opening of the spring season the CEN
trail organization will be called upon for
hard work and vigorous action, and we be-
lieve it is ready for it. 1t is entitled to,
and should receive the active co-opera-
ton Of all the subsidiary societies.
If there is apathy among them,
the parent society can accomplish
little. The tide of immigration is setting
this way. The sections that now secure
the most of it will soonest reap the bene
fits of this infusion Of new blood into our
productive industries. Information from
the East of a most reliable character as
sures US that northern California is now
inquired about by class of people desir-
Gus of immigrating who, year ago,
thought Of no section except that south of
the waist of the State. This is something
material, and is the result of the efforts
made by the press of northern California
and the efforts of the central organization.
The county societies should inaugurate the
season now on by fresh tenders of help,
and by upholding the hands of the Immi-
grafton Society. The local societies should
hold themselves in readiness to receive
"callers" and to respond to all their in
quiries frankly and without any conceal
ment. Northern and central California
will contain the mass Of the population Of
this State. Natural advantages
all indicate this. We need only to make
them known to the world, and give circu-
Iation to reliable information relating to

CENTRAL AMERICA.
A COLLISION AT LAST.

La LIBERTAD (San Salvador, March Goth.
The invading forces from Guatemala to-
day made an attack upon the army of San
Salvador. No particulars have been re.
ceived.
AMERICANS ARRESTED AND THE FLAG IN
SUITED.
PANAMA, March 30th-The Star and Her
aid bulletins, published to-day, say the
steamer Colon was seized to-day at Aspin-
wall by the revolutionists, who demanded
the delivery of the shipment of arms on
board for the revolution, which the agent
refused to deliver. Common, the local Super
intendent of the Pacific Mail Company, was
first arrested, and later the captain and pur-
ser of the steamer were placed under arrest
on board. Subsequently Captain Dowell,
General Agent of the Pacific Mail Com
pany; Mr.. Wright, United States Consul.
and Lieutenant of the American man-of-
war Galena, were arrested and marched
off to the Quartet. They were released
at o'clock, on conditions that the
arms should be delivered. and the delivery
is now going on. The American and Eng
fish war ships did nothing to protect for
eign interests, because the revolutionary
chief declared he would resist their inter
ference by force. The Americans are in
dignant at the insult to the flag and the
outrage to their persons and property.
Troops go from here tonight to attack the
revolutionists, who, however, are in strong
force, and with the arms from the Colon
will probably be able to control events in
their own way and liz their own interests.

CIVIL SERVICE REFORM.

1t is evident that an open conflict is
ripening between the factions of the Dem
ocratic party on the issue of civil service
reform. With large and very respectable
portion of the party civil service reform
has been mere name, possessing none OF
the elements of reality. These men have
believed it to be not only impracticable in
republic, but opposed to the doctrine of
rotation in Office, which they hold to be a
fundamental principle of our system of
government that the very provision we
make for changes of Administration, means
that the dominant party should admins
ter all the offices, enjoy all the emolu-
ments of power, and control all the patron
age. There is, also, large number OF
sincere Republicans who adhere to the
same doctrine. The mistake all these
make is in misapprehending the principle
of the reform. 1t does not follow that
an Administration is to exercise no free
will power in the filling of Offices A Presi-
dent is not expected to abandon his politi-
cal convictions in carrying out the work of
| the reform. But it does mean that sub
ordinate offices shall not be farmed out for
the benefit of party. The Administration
has the right to surround itself with Off
cials in harmony with its views of what is
the best policy for the Government. But
in the filling of clerical offices the prime
object is to secure the best timber possible,
to insure the faithful discharge of
trusts, and to make efficiency and honesty
superior TO all other considerations.
Now, nothing so much cripples an efficient
servant Of the Government as uncertainty
of the tenure of office. Ii We would have
the Government service well performed,
We should place the officer in such posi-
ton as to encourage him to the best per-
Torrance of duty, and nothing will do this
more than the assurance of permanency in
position Administrative officers, in short
should be freed from the domination Of
| party. Since they can not affect the
policy Of the party materially, they should
not be made slaves to it. Their duties are
defined by the law-givers who determine
the questions of policy. The former are
servants of specific duty, but cannot be
efficient if subject to the demands and
exactions of party leaders. If they fill
their offices simply to serve party ends
their discharge of duty Is pretty sure tc
be mal-administrative. In any form o.
Government where administrative offices
are used as substructures of party, there
will be abuses and neglect, and the ques
ton of competency will always be sub
ordinated to the dictates of political
leaders and their sub-lieutenants. We
have never contended, and shall not, thai
the administration shall select the mes
who aid in shaping its policy who are not
in harmony with it. Civil service reform
makes no such demand.

the State, and to receive and treat lminl-
grants in such way as to fairly and fuily
;mnress them with the desirability OF our
section as a locality for homes. There
is before us now the first copy OF the work
unon "Homes in Northern California"
issued bv DR.. Latham, Secretary of the
immigration Association of Northern Cali
fornia. 1t is compact and handsome
work. 1t contains a neat map, in colors,
Of the whole region from the south
ern line of Calaveras northward, and
is freely illustrated. Its preface bears
an Endorsement of the plan of operations
of the Society by the Governor of the
State. Its seventy pages dispassionately
and clearly treat of our soil, products and
climate; our scenery, capacities, water
systems, timber, rainfall and the impor-
lance of winterless climate i'll dollars
and cents. 1t is statistically ample, with
out dullness, and in detailed information
is full without being tiresome. Each
county interested has a distinct chapter
expository of its special claims, while the
general text is fair and impartial to all.
One of the most important chapters is
that dealing with retail prices for necessa-
ries of life and agricultural tools and
implements. We are pleased with the
pamphlet, and look upon it as the fore
runner of immigration literature of like
kind, for which there will be at the East
unprecedented demand, and we congratu-
late the Association upon its issue of SO
dignifed, practical and sensible a prospec-
tus of northern California The Society
has labored discreetly and diligently, and
we may now look for early results, and
within three or four years for harvest Of
benefit, of which all concerned may feel
exceedingly proud

IT is apparent, Notwithstanding the
preparations for war in England, that
neither is that country nor Russia
anxious for conflict The latest dis
patches indicate that Russia hopes for and
will strive to secure an amicable adjust
ment OF the Afghan frontier question, and
that this will he accomplished is probable
\ war between the two great powers could
not be otherwise than of benefit to the
United States, but the humane considera-
tons of lovers of peace will temporize any
selfish disposition on our part. SO, too, a
war between France and China would ben
eft our commerce materially. Yet ii
would be harsh judgment to pass upon
our people to say that they will be
chasrined to see a peaceful settlement OF
that difficulty made.
Sacramento daily record-union. [volume] (Sacramento [Calif.]) 1875-1891, 1885-03-31

THE news from France is exciting. As
this writing We cannot discuss the question
of the war with China in detail We
have believed the Republic to be in the
right, and have taken repeated occasion to
say so. The original intervention of China
in the Tonquin issue was not warranted.
Her claim of suzerainty was at the best a
shadowy one, while France was justified
by series of treaties with the Kingdom
Of Anam in all the claims she made. The
political furry in the Republic we do not
believe will materially modify the att;-
tude Of the Government toward China.
France is gin F." for struggle with China
at long range, and must conduct the cam
paign at serious disadvantage. A popular
misapprehension has obtained relative to
the difficulty between France and China.
They have not been at war. France, in
attempting to enforce her rights, has met
certain resistance which is rebellious.
China has given this quasi rebellion SUP
port, but until the present there has been
no war, according to the laws of nations,
between the two Powers.

PANORAMIC PHoToGRAPHs.-A new
French apparatus, called the cylindro-
graph, is designed to photograph at a
single operation wide sweep of the ada
cent country. The instrument consists OF
a camera of a semi-circular form, with a
small lens in the center, which moves on
an axis. The dark slide is of some mate
rial which will bend, and when view is
to be taken the lens is turned upon the
center from one side of the landscape to the
other. The panoramic pictures thus Sc
cured are sufficiently good to serve survey
ing, military and other purposes.
