A very good bagging is made by the

ness The Egyptians accomplished
similar work eighteen hundred years be-
fore the commencement of the Christian
era, and now the English propose to re-
establish it. The ancient irrigation works
of Ceylon, those OF India, Palestine, Per-
STA and other parts of the world all prove
the practicability of the scheme proposed
by Senator Stewart, for the railroad crosses
the arid region west Of the Rocky noun
tains, which is capable of sustaining under
reclamation to productive farms 100000
600 of people. In the United States
already over 100000 acres of land are
under irrigation, and proves to be of the
best in the world. Put water upon the
desert and it will produce marvelously.
Irrigation renews and refreshes the val
lev of the Nile, whose lands are as rich to-
day as they were a thousand years ago.
and so it will be in the non-arid region

artifcially applied, and the enormous
yield of these lands in question, under ir.
rigation, is something difficult of realiza-
ton and sounding like the romance Of
magic. The Senator then points out that
it has been the fate-and he might have
added the desire-of man to do battle with
the desert; it has confronted him but to
be subdued, defed him but to be con-
quered. The forests were more difficult to
contend with than the deserts, and it can
not be doubted, therefore, that the Ameri-
can will triumph over the latter. Here we
leave the consideration of the argument of
the Senator, reserving contemplation OF
the summing up and the application of all
the facts and reasons, for third and final

tisements, nor any "cuts' will be admitted.
There will be thus secured not only uni
formity of style, and consequently neater
appearance, but all advertisers viii enjoy
equal advantages in addressing the public.
The news facilities of the DAILY Re-
coRp-UNIoN and the WEEKLY UNION,
and which extend to the SUNDAY UNION,
are not equaled by those of any other in
terror journal. The papers named employ
the very best and most widely operating
news agencies of the world and receive the
home, Eastern and foreign news by wire,
through the Oldest and best established
news associations of the age. None OF the
newspapers of San Francisco have better
news facilities than those enjoyed
by this journal. We are thus en-
abled daily to Gull from the worlds news
as dispatched to us in volume, the very
best and choicest to present to our readers.
This is done with discriminating judg-
ment and with view of publishing not
an overwhelming and confusing mass of
dispa tches and padded and useless
verbiage, but with an eye single to the one
object of presenting concisely, and elabo-
rately when deemed wise, the cream of all
the news of the world.
The departments of the three journals
| will maintain the same high character
that has distinguished the WEEKLY UNION
and DAILY RECORD UNION in the past,
but there will by this enlargement of the
| field of labor necessarily result improve
ment, and still greater care to make every
department deserving of the approval OF
the intelligent and the commentator of
readers. Cleanliness, fairness and COM
pleteness will, as in the past, characterize
the columns of the three papers, and they
will address themselves to the news de-
mands of the public.
While the double-sheet form of Satur-
day will be retained with its many depart
ments and its literary features, great
deal of choice reading will be carried into
the four-page SUNDAY UNION, which by
reason of the limitations put upon the
amount of advertising admissible, will
afford ample room for the presenta-
ton of State, Eastern, foreign and local
news, and also for choice selection of
general reading matter.
The three papers will be, as have been
the WEEKLY UNION and DAILY RECORD
UNION, independent in tone and just in
criticism neither fault-hndlng nor fault
excusing; vigorous in expression without
vituperation; not circumscribed by parti-
san bounds in the discussion of public
questions, nor committed to personal ad-
yocacy or the forwarding of unworthy am
bition. They will discuss public affairs
from the standpoint of reason, justice and
the highest public good, and will in all
their departments be conservative, but
bold, calm in treatment of all matters,
simple and direct in style, and Clearly at
all times.
Especial attention will be given to agri-
cultural, art, mechanical, mining, metero-
logical and market news, and to the news
progress and development of the several

counties of the State and promising Sec

counties OF the State and promising sec
tions of the Pacific coast.
In short, the SUNDAY UNION the DAILY
REooRD-UNioN and the WEEKLY UNION
will be found thorough newspapers, neither
overloaded nor padded; they will be found
adapted to the needs for quick and intelli-
gent conveyance OF news, the dissemina-
ton of knowledge in the home, and the
upbuilding and development of the State.
In conclusion we invite attention to the
immense advantage the journals named
have over all other papers in the State
because of the centrality of the city of
Sacramento. They will reach, in advance
of San Francisco competitors, all such
points as Davisville, Dixon, Elmira and
other places along the line of the Cali
fornia Pacific Railroad as far as Benicia in
one direction, and Woodland and similar
points in the Sacramento valley on the
west side of the Sacramento river in the
other direction.
On the line of the California and Ore
gon Railroad they will be in advance OF
San Francisco papers as far north as
Chico while on the mountain division OF
the Central Pacific Railroad, and its con-
nections, they will serve in advance OF
competitors Colfax, Grass Valley and Ne
vada City and points intermediate between
them and Sacramento.
On the line of the Sacramento and
Placerville Railroad these papers will be
day in advance of all other morning
papers as far east as Placerville and vicin.
ity. So too upon the Western Division Of
the Central Pacific Railroad these papers
will reach such points as Florin, Ell
Grove, Gait land connections), Lodi and
similar points.
With the growing demand for carriage
and transportation it is believed that the
departure of trains will shortly be such
that the REcoRD-UNIoN will be enabled
to avail of the means of conveyance Of
mail and express matter so as to be from a
whole to half q day ahead of all other
papers in delivery to subscribers in all
directions north and easterly.
By the down river boats we will also be
able to reach river points ahead of any
other journals, and several important sec
tlons also by stage routes leading from
Sacramento, and those connecting with
railroad trains along the several lines Of
Central and Northern California.

THERE is one fact that may temper our
feeling toward Prince Bismarck, in the
matter of his unconcealed dislike for
Americans. That is, that the German
Socialists of this country are the most
active workers in the Socialistic move
ments in Germany, and that nine-tenths
of the Socialistic literature now distributed
throughout the Empire is printed in
America, under the immediate supervision
and by the order of Germans in America,
many of whom are citizens of the United
States.

in the newspapers-over the report that
an English syndicate, backed by Sl0.000,-

be entertained on that score. Salt pro-
