USEFUL PATERNALISAI.

Referring to certain remarks of Mr.. Mills
of Texas on paternalism the New York
Tribune has TO say:
The people of this country want Government
by the people and for the people, and are not at
all particular about the theories OF Mr.. Jefferson
or the dogmas OF Mr.. Mills. If they see that a
vast area OF rich coltOn'growing land in Missis-
sippi bottoms is subject TO inundation, and that
enormous loss is incurred by the people year
after year because of the inability OF the individ
ual to protect his own farm. the people want the
Government to do something about IL. II they
see that tie channels OF rivers and the harbors
necessary to the commerce OF great States are
choked by interference of natural forcfs they
want the Government to clear out the channels
aud the harbors, aud Mr.. Mills and his Demo.
cratic associates in Congress vote for sneh meas
ures as heartily as anybody else. They DO not
dare to resist The popular demand for legislation
which shall help the people as far as possible.
1t is rather late in the day to resume the
old debate over the right OF the General
Government to spend money on internal
improvements. Those who are curious on
the subject will find all the arguments pro
and con in Benton's Thirty Years" or in
any good biography OF Henry Clay. 1t is
enough now to say that the abstract con-
troyersy stands where 1t did half century
ago, but that in practice Congress does regu-
larry appropriate large sums for Internal i'm
provements; that Democrats vote for the
appropriations as readily as Republicans,
and that the River and Harbor Bill is gen.
orally drawn in conformity with the rules
which govern log-rolling, so that each sec
ton of the country shall get its share
Whether this policy is or is not sound it is
of little practical consequence, as all parties
concur in it.
But it cannot be justified at all if its bcne-
fits are confined TO few sections Of the
country. They must be distributed among
all OF the policy is fraud. Congress should
rot spend the money Of tie people at large
on deepening the mouths Of rivers in New
England or building levees Oh the Mssis-
sppl /; it refuses to make corresponding
appropriations for works needed on the Pa
cihc Coast. Aud the rule which should gov
ern The size Of the appropriations is easily
found. They should be in proportion to the
benefit which the nation will derive from
the work done. II would not be far to vote
100000 to dredge a channel in a small river
for the convenience OF few fishermen, and
at the same time to vote down an expendi-
ture of half million to reclaim section
which would support million inhabitants
ii z were reclaimed.
There was no appropriation for rivers

THE REAL PEOPLES PARTY.

The Chicago Tribune says Of speech de-
ljyeTed by Carter Il Harrison of that city:
In is going INFO The business of bidding for
Alliance votes be has got 10 step out with PETER.
Instead Of edging gingerly around the brink of
tie Alliance cesspoOl lie must plunge right into
IT'S depths and claim all that is professed 10 be
wanted by such men as PETER, Polk, Weaver,
Livingston, "Soekless jerry" etc.
The TTijune's conclusion we conceive
to be incorrect. a public man may
often do his party and the people a
service by accepting what he consid-
ers coed in a reform movement and
rejecting what lie does not approve. The
two great parties are responsible for the
Alliance. Ii either of them had been true
TO the people there would have been no suf-
ticient ground for the Alliance to form upon.
But tie money power so nearly controlled
legislation through the one of the old par
ties that happened to be in power that the
common people had TO organize to get a
hearing. 4 thoughtful man may find much
in the platform Of the Peoples party to
commend without accepting it in all its de-
tails. Fiat money is a financial heresy,
which would never have got hearing if The
money power had not schemed to increase
the purchasing power of money by demOne-
tlZlnE silver. Fiat money and the Sub
Treasury scheme are the natural rebound
at the money lenders attempt to increase
the value of his commodity. Under the law
that one extreme follows another the ex-
treme of gold money only was followed by
the proposition to issue paper currency
without the promise Of redemption. It i:
absurd to assume that all the visionary
schemes of the third party must he accepted
by persons in sympathy W 18th some of its
purposes The Tribune is Republican
paper, and II cannot exercise its great inf u
ence in the party to better advantage than
by helping it to establish its Independence
Of the money power, and thus helping TO d.
away with the conditions which called the
Peoples party into existence. As the
stanch and intelligent advocate Of protec-
ton for American labor, the Republican
party should be the real Peoples p arty o.

and harborS in 1SS9-90. In the previous
year sum OF SIS, GG97 GIG was voted. OF
this a small fraction was assigned for ex-
penditure on the Pacific Coast. chiefly on
the harbor of Oakland, on the river Sacra-
mento and on the harbor OF Eureka. Each
If these and one or two other localities got
crumb from the Congressional table; so
small n crumb that the work done has
neither attracted attention nor served use
ful purpose. When engineers report that it
will cost So much to deepen the channel
of river or to make the mouth of harbor
safe, il is a waste of money to spend half or
Il quarter of that sum. As soon as the money
is spent, if the job is not completed, the
natural causes which render the improve
ment necessary resume their action, and OBJ
lterate to some extent the work done. Of
the money which has been spent on Eureka
hHrbOr by the General Government during
the past ten years very much of it has been
wasted. There is but little to show for it,
The bar is shifting as usual, and the en-
trance OF the harbor is still difficult.
Federal money, it is urged, might be ad-
vantageously spent in this State on the irri-
CATION of the arid lands which are still in
the ownership of the Government, and
which do not sell because without water
they are worthless. Unlike the apprOpria-
tons for little creeks and bayOus in the
East, an appropriation for this pnrpoSe
would pay for itself by enabling the Land
Department to sell land now unstable :;
and it would afford homes for the thousands
of people who are now landleSs and there
fore disturbing element in the community.
Nature is Just now making a vigorous effort
to reclaim Dy irrigation one of the most
valueless sections of the State-the Colo
RADIO Desert. But unless it is aided by the
hand OF man, aud the new channel from
the Colorado River into the desert is kept
open by engineering works, the supply of
fertiiizing fluid will be cut off when the
river falls, and the waters of the desert will
disappear from evaporation. This is pre-
cisely one of the cases as to which, in the
language of the Tribune, '.the people want
Government to do something about it,"

A NEW MARKET.
California Fruit Asked For by an
English House.

The good qualities Of California fruit are
beginning to be appreciated in far distant
markets. Messrs Porter Bros. of this city
recently received communication from
Barf & Co.. Liverpool fruit commission
house, asking for prices and samples of the
finest grade of California apricots. The
samples and information were Immediately
dispatched. and Messrs. Porter are looking
for an order by cable within two weeks.
The Liverpool house wrote as if there
would be an English demand for the high
est grade of California fruit products. The
samples were, according to directions,
nacked in larger boxes than is customary.
Each box contained tweuty-eight and fifty
six pounds instead of the usual weights,
twenty-five and fifty pounds.
A similar request for prices and samples
has been received by Williams, Brown

At the meeting of the Associated Chari-

street, the Registrar reported that twenty
four cases had been acted upon during the
week. The case of Mrs. Carrie Myers, who
has been an inmate of the German Hospital
for the past three years, was discussed at
length. Mrs Myers, who is suffering from
acute rheumatism, had been, it was stated,
operated upon under chloroform one hun
