WITHDRAWAL OF BLAINE.


Chairman Jones OF the Republican Ma
tional Committee has given to the press
of the country a letter from Mr.. Blaine
withdrawing his name as a candidate for
the Presidency. The letter is causing .
profound sensation in Republican politi.
cal circles. There can hardly be q
question about the authenticity Of the
letter. II comes through the regular Of
fetal channels Of the party and could not
we'll be otherwise than genuine. But
why il is uttered at this time is quite .
different proposition. This is what will
disturb the equilibrium Of many politi.
clans. Ia the withdrawal in good faith,
or is the Maine statesman playing an
adroit game to silence all opposition
He SAYS that he had determined on this
course more than a year ago. He also
states that he had informed Chairman
Jones Of his purpose more than a year
ago. The secret has peer very we'll kept.
We believe that Mr.. Blaine is out Of the
fight for good. We believe he has con-
cluded that he has made his best race,
and will be better off in the history OF
his country to give up his Presidential
aspirations entirely. We do not believe
that there is any game or bluff or deceit
in the withdrawal. 1t is q cold -blooded
proposition. 1t lie the result Of deep cal.
culation as to the probable result OF this
years campaign. Mr.. Blaine could not
see his way clear to success. He has
never been as strong East as in the West.
Pacific Coast Republicans throw their
hats higher for him than the people OF
any other portion Of the Union. Here
in Nevada Blaine is regarded as invinc.
ible. So he is in California. But along
the Atlantic seaboard the very reverse is
the case. Thoughtful leaders realize that
he has elements Of great weakness as well
as of great strength. and the trouble is,
he is weakest where he should be strong
eat as q Presidential candidate. He is
moi nearly as strong now in the East az
he was four years ago. Evidently Mr.
Blaine understands all these things, and
has made up his mind. i~rrevokably, to
stand aside. But he might still have =
sufficient number Of friends in the con.
v~ention to force the nomination upon
him. That, however, is not likely. At
tention will now turn to other candidates.
The withdrawal Of Blaine gives John
Sherman a big lift. The latter's chances
are greatly improved. Or We might get
a Pacific Coast man in the person Of Gov.
ernor Stanford. 1t is anybody's fight as
the situation now presents. From = local
point of view the Democracy may be con.
graduated that Mr.. Blaine is out. They
cannot find another man who will pull SO
strongly on this coast.

EN- La RUING THE PRIvILEDGED
CLAA&.

According to the newspapers, Mrs.
Thomas A. Hendricks lately criticised
Congress for voting pensions Of fifty dol
lars per month each to Mrs. General Lo-
gan and Mrs. General Blair. Congress
is open to criticism for these measures,
but not on the ground taken by Mrs.
Hendricks. The latter assumed that she
had been badly treated, because not in.
cluded in the liberality of Congress. That
position is utterly ~untenable. II is true
that the late Mr.. Hendricks devoted q
good deal of time to the service Of his
country, but it was all of a civil and not
a military character. Even had it been
military service, and Mr.. Hendricks had
escaped without injury. his widow could
law no possible claim on the bounty Of
the country. The same is equally true
OF Mrs. Logan and Mrs. Blair. Both
have good homes and both are comfort.
able and reasonably well provided for.
There are ten thousand widows of sol.
diers In this country not one hundredth
part as well off as either, who do not
draw a cent from the Government, and
whose names are never mentioned in
Congress. And it would be useless to
mention them, because any bill looking
TO their relief would be incontinently
kicked out. They lack the social dis.
.~inction to give them the necessary stand
ing in Congress. Mrs. belong, the
widow Of the unfortunate commander OF
the Jeanette Arctic expedition, was in
like manner given q pension of fifty dol.
lars per month. The widows and Deepen.
denotes of the men under belong were
never mentioned and never got a farth-
ing. Still it does not appear that De-
Long aver received a scratch in actual
wal or in the defense of his country. His
heroism was of a higher order than that
displayed by the men with him. Pen.
sions predicated on no other reason than
social prominence are totally at wal with
the principles Of Republican government.
The tendency is to build up a priviledged
class, to be supported in luxury and idle
ness by the toilers of the land. This is
precisely what they do in monarchical
forms OF government. They have tax.
payers and tax eaters. The nobility and
upper crust living off the industry of the
struggling masses. We care nothing
about the money voted to the ladies in
question. 1t is against the principle that
we argue. Every government has a
right to exact military service from its
citizens in times of great peril to the Ma
tional existence. Every government
should also generously provide for all
those who have been disabled or rendered
dependent while in the military service.
But the line ought to be drawn at disa-
bility and necessity. Millions for these,
but not one dime for distinction.

THE FOOTHILLS OF CALIFOR.
MA.

1t may not be generally known, but
it is no less a fact, that the lands OF
greatest value in California are to be
found in the foothills along the west
ern slope of the Sierras. Valley lands
do not compare with them in
price or productiveness. The valley
lands are chiefly devoted to the grow
ing of wheat and barley which have
substantially fixed prices in the
market. There is little or nc specula-
ton in them. Men know what en-
acre of wheat or barley will bring and
that settles the value of the land.
Besides constant irrigation in the fiat,
low land must ultimately produce
malaria and sickness. 1t is not so
with the foothills where there is
ample drainage combined with the
pure atmosphere of a more healthful
altitude. The choice fruits grow in
the foothills, a single acre sometimes
producing from fifty to n hundred
dollars worth OF the rarer varieties.
There is no foothill belt to speak Of in
Southern California. About Los
Angeles oranges, ETC., are cultivated
on the valley lands. The great I'M
developed, or but partially developed,
resources of California to-day lies in
her foothill lands stretching along
from Amador on the south to Shasta
county on the north. At isolated
spots all along this great belt fruit
lands are nov selling from 800 to
5000 per acre, Notably is this so in
the neighborhoods of Auburn and
Coalfax, in Nevada, and Butte
ties. Lands are nov selling for 800
to 500 to the acre that three years
ago could be had for So. The whole
belt we have described is good. 1t is
better than any part of Southern
California. A person cannot miss it,
matter where he drives his pegs.
Some places may come into market
sooner than others, that is all. The
future will bring it all in at high
prices. The best oranges grown in
California are from Butte county, and
they come into market a month ahead
Of the Los Angeles orange. Califor-
greatest boom is yet to come in
these foothills that we have been talk
ing about.

STATE POLITICS.

Nevada elects this Fall, besides the
Presidential Electors, a member OF Con-
gross, a Justice of the Supreme Court, q
Legislature and o full line Of county and
township officers. 1t is a pity that our
Constitution compels the meeting OF a
Legislature every two years. There is
no United States Senator to be elected
this Winter. and no earthly use for a SEES
sion Of the Legislature that we can con-
ceive at this writing. II would be better
for the State il the session could lapse.
1t would save the taxpayers at least $780,
coo il it we're possible to dispense with a
session. But it was our purpose to write
more particularly Of party matters. In
Presidential years there is always more
or less difficulty experienced by the State
Central Committees in arranging the time
for the holding of the respective conven-
tions. What we are saying applies with
equal force to both parties, and We are
writing as much in the interest Of the
one as the other in this particular case.
1t is a question involving the convenience
Of the people forming both of the parties.
az we'll as an item of considerable cost.
Shall there be two Democratic and two
Republican conventions in Nevada this
year, II we had the deciding OF the
matter we should vote In the negative
and have but one of each. One OF each
party is as good as forty. Time cuts no
figure in a local contest in Nevada. The
State candidates may as well be in the
field four months as four weeks. In any
event they will not do their active can.
wasting until the closing weeks Of the
campaign. There has been a feeling Of
opposition to long campaigns in Nevada.
There is absolutely nothing in it. In
1880 the Democrats put up their State
ticket in May, and at the same time Sc.
lected their delegates to the National
gave entire satisfaction. The people are
too poor. and we speak for both parties,
to be put to the trouble and expense of
attending two conventions OF their res
pective parties. In the large counties Of
Eastern Nevada the holding Of County
Convention is attended with a heavy tax
on the delegates. If each party held two
State Conventions. two County Conven-
tions Of each would also be necessitated.
This is too much, and besides il is always
difficult to enlist general interest in the
FIRST, where the only business to be trans
acted is the selection Of three delegates
and three alternates to the National Con-
v~ention. Notwithstanding this apathy
the State Central COMMITTEES is never
justified in assuming the power 10 APP
point the delegates. Whenever it has
been done in this State it has slwsys re-
suited in dissatisfaction. The people
want a voice, and are entitled to it, in
all party matters. Both National Con-
ventions will probably be held in June,
the Republican being already fixed for
the 18th Of that month. State Conven-
tions Of both parties might be held early
in the same month, and all convention
business Of each for the year attended to
then and there. This would require the
meeting Of Central Committees to map
out the work some time in April. We

PAUPER

READING PAL Feb. 5.-The coal
strike and the consequent shutting down
OF iron furnaces have caused the suspen-
sion of work in the iron.ore mines along
the East Pennsylvania road. as there is no
demand for ore. The miners get only
from rs 10 30 cents a day anyhow, and
are very poor. Thirty of them with
families have asked for admission to the
county p~oor-houses until work is re-
sumed.
The above item. heading and all, is
from the Eastern dispatches to the San
Francisco Call. What is the matter
with protection to coal! Coal is a pro-
tected industry. There is seventy.ive

We believe we have sufficient indie
pendence Of character TO occasionally hit
our own party q lick when we conceive
it to be wrong. Such an occasion we
believe is now at hand. There can be no
question that a Democratic a~dministra-
tion OF the Government is more ecomioal
than q Republican administration OF the
same. The present management of Ma
tional affairs attests this in a very large
degree. The Democrats are honestly en-
deavoring to make a record for economy
in the public expenditures. We believe
the policy 10 be q mistaken n from Q
party point Of view. The people do not
demand q niggsrdly administration Of
public affairs. Neither do they desire
waste and profigacy, but they will never
object to decent liberality. Postmaster
General Villas administration OF the POST
office Department has cost the Demo-
cratic party more votes in the West than
any other single cause. The people want
and expect proper mail facilities whether
the Government loses or makes by the
operation. A general pruning down in
all Of the other great departments has
been equally notable and equally objec-
tionable. 1t is all wrong, especially as
there is such an abundance OF money that
should go back among the people. OF
course it is fully understood that many
matters are regulated by law, beyond
which no officer can 60, but it is also
true that a good many matters are within
the discretion Of heads of departments,
and in such cases there is no sort OF
reason for drawing the line too rigidly.
II we could command the ear Of Presi.
dent Cleveland, our advice to him would
be to loosen up his subordinates. They
are generally heese-pairers as they stand.
