or punished.
1t is gratifying to know that something
has been done at Jast'to redress the injur-
les to our people and check the perilous
tendency of the reckless waste of the ma
tional domain. That over 80,0 OO, 900 acres
have been wrested from illegal usurption,
improvldent grants and fraudulent entries
and claims to be taken for the homesteads
of honest industry, although less than the
greater areas thus unjustly lost, must at
ford a profound qualification to right-feel-
ing citizens, as it is a recompense for the
labors and struggles of recovery.
Our dear experiences ought sufficiently to
urge the speedy enactment of measures OF
legislation which will cOnf1ne the future
disposition of our remaining agricultural
lands to use Of actual husbandry and gen.
uine homes. Nor should our vast tracts of
s0-caIled desert lands be yielded up to the
monopoly of corporations or grasping indi-
viduals, as appears to be much the ten
dency under the existing statute. The
lands require but the supply of water to
become fertile n productive. 1t is a
problem of great moment how, most wise
ly for the public good, that factor shall be
furnished. l cannot but think it perilous
to suffer either these lands OF the sources
of their irrigation to fall into the hands of
m%OnOpOlies, which by such means may ex-
ercise q lOrdship over areas dependent on
their treatment for productiveness. Al
ready steps have been taken to secure ac-
curate and scientific information of the
conditions, which is the prime basis of IN
telligent action. Until this shall be gained,
the course of wisdom appears clearly to lie
in a suspension Of further disposal, which
only promises to create rights a~ntagonistic
to the common interest. No harm can fol
low this cautionary conduct. The land
will remain, and the public good presents
no demands for hasty dispossession of ma
tiOnal ownership and control.
I commend also the recommendations
that appropriate measures be taken to
complete adjustment of various grants to
states for internal improvements and of
swamp and overlooked lands as well, to
adjudicate and finally determine the valid
ity and extent of numerous private land
claims. All these are elements Of great in
justice and peril to settlers upon localities
affected, and now that their existence Is
more pressing than ever, it is the duty of
congress to fix as o as possible their
bounds, and terminate threats of trouble
which arise from uncertainty.

AGRICULTURE.
The department of agriculture has con-

efforts to develop the processes, enlarge
the results and augment the profits OF
american husbandry. 1t has collected and
distributed practical information, intro.

spread OF contagious diseases of farm ami

sects and destructive fungus growths, and
sought to secure to agricultural labor the

Sacramento daily record-union. [volume] (Sacramento [Calif.]) 1875-1891, 1888-03-22
Butte County Greets Sacramento

Hurrah for Sacramento The Democrats
OF that city are in hopeless minority, and
for years Republican bosses have domi-
neered the city, until its municipal politics
were as rotten as an ancient Gehenna. At
the recent meeting the bosses, true to their
record, put up lot of their tools as candi-
dates. The Democrats, without much hope
of electing a single man, nominated their
candidates, and went boldly in as if to win.
Having been driven to desperation by the
mlsrule and riot of the ring, the respect
able Republicans called a mass meeting
and indorsed the Democratic candidates
with view of administering a rebuke to
their former bosses. They succeeded most
gloriously by electing the entire Demo-
cratic ticket. Dozens of San Francisco
ward strickers emigrated to Sacramento
to assist their kindred spirits, but their
efforts availed nothing. The mass of
Sacramento's respectability went out on
election day and accomplished their
laudable purpose. Some fights occurred,
and several were arrested for illegal voting,
but the result of the election is a cause for
general rejoicing in the State. Sacramento
had reached a state Of political degradation
that alarmed her good people, and they re-
deemed themselves. The RECORD UNION
led the fight and achieved a victory that
does it honor. That paper, in the exulta-
ton of its Joy Wednesday morning, in an
nouncing its splendid victory, flung out
cut of the old liberty bell," and foated
gay headlines. We congratulate that paper
and the people of Sacramento on their
emancipation.
Sacramento has set an example worthy
of being followed by other communities.
Let San Francisco follow her example by
squelching Bosses Buckley and Higgins.
Any community that allows such charac-
terless individuals to dominate it, is un-
worthy the respect of American patriots.
Let the good work go on.-OrOuiUe MERCURY
