for several years and IS now being changed
to fruit. Much of 1t can be bought Tor 500
an acre aud some of it for less.
But let us say that the Eastern immigrant
has to pay 500 for his land, and that heIhas
to sell his farm in New York, Pennsylvania
or Ohio or Illinois at $50 an acre. He must
content himself with half as many acres
here as lie held there. On his Eastern land
he did well if he raised 5000 bushels OF
wheat on a quarter section of 100 acres, and
he was lucky if he got 60 cents bushel ON
the farm, or $500 net Tor his annual crop
The fruit-grower in this State realizes net
on his sale of peaches, plums, cherries,
grapes, apTicots and pears from $50 to $40
an acre in an average season-that ia to say,
$500 off eighty acres, or eight times as
much as the Eastern farmer gets off twice
as many acres. His land at 500 an acre is
four times as cheap as Eastern land at $50
an acre. He may have to bear with an
occasional crop failure, but CROPS fail in the
East as often as they do here.
Grumblers occasionally are heard to say
that fruit has been grown in this State for
many years, but few people have grown
rich at the business. That Is true. But the
reason is obvious. 1t is only within a few
years that attempts have been made to sys-
tematiZe the industry. Ii is only four or
five years since green fruit began to be
shipped to the East in fast fruit trains. 1t
is not ten years since the first shipments of
California raisins were made to New York.
The development of fruit-canning on
large scale is thing of yesterday. And it
is only very few years since science
was brought 10 bear on horticulture in this
State and fruit trees were selected and culti-
waited intelligently. The business is in its
infancy, and because il was not profitable
few years ago is no reason why it should
not pay now. Those who doubt whether
there is money in it should pay visit to
NacaYille.

CONTESTED LEGISLATIVE ELE orIoN.

The action Of the Michigan Legislature in
passing the bill providing for the election OF
Presidential Electors by Congressional dis
trcts is likely to bring up the question if leg
islatiye bodies are the proper judges of the
election Of their own members. The prOvis-
Ions in Federal and State constitutions max
ing each House the judge Of the election and
qualification Of its own members may be
traced back to period in England when the
Commons were distrustful OF Judges ap-
pointed and holding Office during the pleas
ure Of the crown. It has survived in our
constitutional law because until recently
there las been no reason why il should not,
Butin recent years both the Lower House
IN Congress and State Legislature have fur
uIsbed strong arguments In favor OF en-
trusting some other tribunal than the leg
islatiye body itself with the determination
Of contested seats. 1t is charged that the
Senate IF Michigan turned out two Repub-
licaD members in order to obtain the major
ity which enabled it TO pass the bill
throwing the choice of Presidential Electors
into the several Congressional districts. This
change in the method Of eIectiag Electors
may cost the Republicans the next PreSi-
dency. Unless a Republ tidal wave
sweeps over the country next year Michigan
viii elect from six to eight Democratic
Electors, even though the Republicans
should carry the State by handsome ma
j0rity. There might easily be a combine
zion Of States eleeting Democratic Electors.
20 which the six or eight votes Of Michigan
would add the required number to elect.
We should thus have a President who
would owe his election to the arbitrary
action Of the Michigan Senate in seating
TWO Democratic constituents in the place of
Republicans who held certificates Of cleo
ton, and had been sworn fn. We might
trust ublic sentiment to provide a remedy
Tor such an evil if either party were inRO-
cent Of such evil practices. But with the
two parties about equally guilty, public
sentiment cannot be invoked against one for
the benefit Of the other Possibly it may
occur 20 politicians that it would pay 20
have one thoroughly honest party in the
country.

FOREIGN ALLIANCE.

The article in the Washington Post, which
Is supposed to be INSPIRED" bears upon its
face evidence that it is not. The article in
Inmates that the United States may endeavOr
to perfect an alliance with France and Russia
which will secure US the active assistance of
their armies and naveS in case a conflict
with any other European power should be
unavoidable. Ii is safe to assume that there
is 10 line of foreign policy more improbable
than that suggested. Alliances are not en-
tered into without a supposed equivalent.
and it will be found cheaper 10 fight our
own battles than obtain help on conditions
that are likely to be offered. The art cle
under consideration indicates England rs the
European power with which hostilitieS may
be unavoidable, but even in the event OF
war with England a European alliance
would be unpopular and unnecessary
The same article follows in the strain in
respect TO Mr. Blaine's health that the New
York Herald adopted some days ago. But
slabs of this nature are expected from pOliti
cal opponents. The Herald has at times
affected to regard Mr.. Blaine as The only
man in the Republican party under whose
leadership victory would b. possible in 1892,
ana now, if Blaine can be killed off As a eau
didate, that j4urnal probably thinks that the
election of a free-ti ade Democrat would be
probable. As We have said, it is not at all
likely that the article from the Post has any
other inspiration than a desire to create a

LAND Is CHEAPEST HERE.

An Eastern contemporary, commenting
on the decline of the value of farm land in
New England and the Middle States. OBJ
serves that California would benefit by the
desertion of Eastern agricultural sections
but for the high price at which land is held
in this State. Similar statements are not
unfTequently made in papers which are
printed on the Coast and ought to be well
informed. They are. however, based upon
a loose way of looking at the subject and
are only partially correct.
There is in this State a considerable area
of land which is held at too high prices to
be faTmed economically so as to yield even
m oderate interest on its cost. This area in
cludes a number of Spanish grants. en-
braeing thousands of acres, which are in
the ownership of men of wealth The pos
SCISSORS do not care to sell, having no need
of money, and they choose to put fancy
price on their property so as to preserve it
in its entirety. Again, large area of ex-
cellent farming land lies in such close prox-
unity to the city and is so desirable in re-
spect of climate and surroundings that it is
designed TO be divided into country resi-
dences for rich men. In this area may be
included the bulk Of san Mateo County, the
Santa Clara Valley aud the western slope
OF Alameda County. These sections of the
State are destined to be cut up into hand
some country seats, and their market value
per acre is no criterion of the real value of
farm land in California. Land in such
spots is fancy article and may be cheap at
$500 an acre.
But the State likewise contains a large
acreage Of excellent farm land which lies
within reach Of railroad, can be farmed
without irrigation, is covered with alluvial
deposits, and yet can be bought at prices
which would not be regarded as extravagant
in Illinois or Pennsylvania. Such tracts
may be found in most Oh the central coun-
ties-fOr example, in the parts Of Monterey
County which are being opened up by the
railroad, in sections of San Luis Obispo
County which have hitherto been devoted to
pasturage from the want of access to mar
ket, in the Capay Valley and other parts of
Lake County and on and near the line of the
river in Tehama and Colusa. The prices
asked for good land suitable for fruit-grow-
ing in these spots range from $50 to 500 an
acre. There is a considerable area Of land
in Colusa which has been planted to wheat

A LITTLE ANERICAN LAW.

The Irish heirs to the late A. T. Stewards
estate have recently received a setback at
the hands of Judge Wallace. 1t appears
that Mary Branagn claims that her mother
was Mr.. Stewards legal heir and that she is
her mothers only heir. She contends that
Stewart died interstate and sues for piece
Of his real estate as heir-at-law. Mary
Branagh was getting along very we'll so far
as the facts were concerned, but when the
time came the Judge threw the whole case
against the claimant on single law point.
Admitting all the facts the claimant had no
standing for the reason that she is non
resident alien. To make her case even
worse she claims to inherit through another
nonresident alien. A synopsis of the oDin-
ion indicates some doubt of the Judges in
tention to declare that a nonresident may
not inherit, but he made it certain that
nonresident alien may not inherit through
a nonresident alien. This, of course, is
State law. In another State the decision
may be different. But the law of one State
founded on a correct principle is likely to
be accepted in other States. La California
as in New York great deal of property is
held by persons Of foreign birth whose
natural heirs are nonresident aliens. There
has been no doubt Of the Legal rights under
the law Of direct heirs Of the first succeed
ing generation, but the question may be
raised il cousins, nephews and nieces and
alien non-residents of more remote kinship
may establish their claims to property
wherever they can establish relationship
a great many intelligent men hold that
property acquired in one country should, in
the absence of direct heirs. or Of more re-
mote heirs residing in the country, es-
cheat to the State in which it has been ac
quired. The decision OF Judge Wallace
looks in that direction. Mr.. Stewart had no
resident heirs. If a nonresident could not
inherit, in the absence of will the sta to
would be his heirs.

WANTS TO KNOW,

A free-trade contemporary wants to know
what would prevent the American con-
sumner from buying English steel rails cost
ing S22 per ton in preference to American
rails at S26 er ton II there were no duty on
English rails. Information Of this nature is
easily supplied. If there were no duty on
English rails the American consumer would
be supplied by English manufacturers. One
of two possible consequences would result
from the introduction into our market of
English rails at So per ton: the American
manufacturer would either go out of bust
ness or he would reduce the cost of his
product to the cost of the English product.
If he should go ont of business the Ameri-
can competition which has reduced the En-
glish cost 20 So per ton would cease, and
the English manufacturer, having full pos
session of the market would fix prices, now
fixed by American manufacturers if he
should reduce the American cost to the En-
glish cost he would perforce reduce wages
to the English standard. Now, We doubt
very much if there is a large number of
men in this country who will contend that
it is better for the country to either kill the
iron and steel industry or to reduce wages
to the English standard. The contentious
that the consumer should be at liberty at all
times to buy in the cheapest market concen-
trates industries in the countries where
labor is the cheapest. Labor would then
become the point upon which manufac-
turers would constantly experiment in their
efforts TO undersell each other The newt
able consequence would be the reduction of
wages to the lowest point consistent with
the maintenance of the laborer in fit eOndi-
ton to work. The gradual increase in wages
in the United States is one of the hopeful
signs of the times This increase can, now
ever. only be maintained by an artificial in
crease in the cost of competing goods.
Without such artificial increase our manu-
facturers would be compelled to close up
their shops or to adopt the lowest foreign
standard of wages.

tations and Music.
An usually large asSemblage of parents
ard friends of the scholars of Jefferson
Primary School crowded the large hall in
the school-building on Tehama street yes
terday afternoon to listen 10 a most inter-
esting programme Of Rotations and music.
Under the direction of Miss Murphy and
her corps of able assistants the entertain
ment passed off in a manner that would
have done credit to scholars Of much larger
growth.
Ex-School Director Van Shack made a
few remarks to the scholars, as he always
does on these occasions. He alluded to the
time when requests by teachers for trans
ferS from the school OH account of the large
number of unruly scholars then attending
it were numerous, and contrasted that tim
with the present when they find it a pleas
ure to instruct the good, bright children
who now attend the school.
School Director Max Brooks spoke few
words of encouragement to the scholars, and
also referred to the care with which they
were being trained.
The programme was as follows:
