BACK ACTION DEMOCRATS.

The New York Herald has opened
the Hill boom for the next Presi
Dental campaign, and editoiially
asserts that unless the Democracy
pitches its free trade nonsense over
board at once, and enters tie cam
paign with protective plank in its
platform, that it can never hope 10
win another campaign.
The Democratic party is adopting
its old policy of following somebody
else's lead. In all its career it
never originated a movement. 1t
fights every new issue brought to
the front, and after defeat it en-
braces the doctrine which defeat
taught it was popular, and then
poses as the original promulgator of
the popular policy.
The last campaign was purely on
the tariff question. The Repub-
licans adopted a broad protection
platform, and won; the Democracy
fought the doctrine with the energy
of desperation.
In 1892 the Democratic journals
will gravely assert that Protection
to American Industries was always
It's battle cry, ana that it taught it
to the people of the country.
We would suggest that if the
Democrats are getting their eyes
open sufficiently to recognize the
benefits OF protection, they cut
loose their old ties and join the Re-
publican party at once.
The present scheme OF naming
their party The Party of Protection,
reminds one of the waiter who,
when his guest called for more
expensive brand of wine, coolly
took the required brand out of his
pocket, and pastiDg it on the bottle
set it down before the astonished
customer with the remark:
"There, now, that's the wine you
want"

The San Francisco Alta SAYS

The San Francisco Alta says:
.'The arid lands of the United
States, West of the Rocky mount
aims, capable of agriculture when
irrigated, and with irrigation facili-
ties within reach OF engineering
science comprise an area equal to
that or Great Britain and Ireland,
Belgium, Denmark, Norway and
Sweden, France, Germany, Italy,
Holland and Austro-Hungary COM
bined. Ii redeemed it will support
an equal population per square
mile, and this means that Senator
Stewart has initiated a proposition
to make homes for about 100000
600 of people. The scheme Is
grander than all the conquests Of
Alexander, Caesar and Napoleon
The Alta is right. There is no
more important question before
the people OF this coast to-day than
that OF the irrigation of arid lands.

The Stockton Nails clever

The Stockton Mails clever San
Francisco correspondent thinks
that the opium vice is having
good effect in killing off the hood
lums, meanwhile rendering them
comparatively harmless, and de-
stroying their capacity for multi
plying their kind. He takes the
unusual view that there is no
occasion for efforts to break up the
sale of opium in San Francisco,
believing that the opium vice de-
stroys nobody worth saving.

The Painful and Horrible Imprisonment
What Caisson Is, What Has to
Be Gone Through to Get Into
II and Its Use.

OF course everybody has heard OF Gals
son, many people know what il is, fewer
number know what use is made OF it, and
a very few have any idea OF what It's inte-
rior is like and what has to be gone
through in order to re- ii the working
chamber at the bottom Of it, Life in
caisson il brief, horribly unpleasant and
attended with painful II not serious results.
Mr.. John Johnson, Of this city, who was
piloted down the caisson Friday last, to-
gether with Mr.. H. G. Graves and one OF
TnE APPEALS editorial staff, says that
while he would not take a great deal for
the experience he has gained he would
not under any circumstances enter Gals
son again. Now when man like sturdy
John johnson expresses this sentiment
every person may conclude that there is
something about entering q caisSon which
is more than unpleasant, to which the
writer can attest.
