ARARE OPPORTUNITY
Good Agricultural Land for $40
to $50 per Acre.

The Pacific Improvement Company has re-
Gently purchased twelve thousand ceres of
land in the heart of Tehama County for the
purpose of promoting subdivision and settle
ment. This land embraces lands from first
class Sacramento Valley agricultural land, to
land of fair average quality, and is offered at
from 81 o to $40 per acre, in subdivisions of
40, so, 40, 16o and 800 acres
The terms upon which these lands are offered
are especially attractive. They will be sold in
subdivisions, as above indicated, by the paw
ment of interest only for three years, at which
time the purchaser can begin the payment of
principal by paying the first OF five equal an
nual installments. Thus no part of the prin-
c1pal is to be paid for three years and then
the purchaser is to have five years in which to
pay five equal annual installments, with in
terest at the rate of z per cent. per annum,
making payments extending over period of
eight years. Intending purchasers are as
sured that this is an opportunity to purchase
land of fair average quality at SO per acre
and good agricultural land at $50 an acre,
with other grades of land at prices to CORE
spond between these figures.
The assertion is frequently made that good
lands, suitable for general farming. and es-
pecially adapted for fruitgrowing, cannot be
had in California for less than from 500 to
500 an acre. An examination of the land
subject of this advertisement will prove to
home-seekers that this is an opportunity for
the purchase of good agricultural land at $40
an acre, and for qualities grading down to fair
agricultural land at 81 0 an acre, on terms of
payment which should make the disposition
of these lands to actual settlers result easy of
accomplishment.
The primary object of the purchase of this
body OF land was the breaking up of a large
holding for the purpose of promoting its set
tleInent in smaller quantities and its devotion
to diligent husbandry

SILVER AND GOLD.

Repeating the John Sherman law now
may be something, but if this country
could have repealed John Sherman him
self twenty years ago 1t would have
been much mOre.-St. Louis Republic
(Dem.)
The only policy for the United States
is to put itself upon the same basis as
Great Britain aud European govern
mentS by repeating the Sherman act re-
curing the purchase of 81, 200, 600 ounces
year, and prohibiting the furth er coin
age of a legal-tender silver.-Indian-
apoiS Journal (Rep.)
1t is no wonder that in these circum-
stances foreign investors are shy OF our
securities, are selling more or less of
them, especially those not specifically
payable in gold. and are refusing to buy
more The real wonder is that the dis
turbance is not far greater and more
rapid.-New York Times (Ind)
What effect the failure of the con-
ference will have upon the course of
this country remains to be seen. Mean
while, the steady addition of S4,000.O00 a
month of paper money to our circula-
ton is driving gold out OF the country,
and timid people are beginning to APP
prehend a suspension of gold payments
by the government and the banks,
and consequent premium upon the
metal.-New York Sun Dem.)
With the exception of few interested
silver producers and their deluded fol-
lowers land even these admit that the
law has lamentably failed its purpose)
the whole people demand the, stoppage
of these insane purchases, which nave
already added 1000 tons to the treasury S
store of the white metal and entailed
enormous loss upon the country. The
repeal of the Sherman law is the most
pressing and vital necessity of the hour.

FOR PENSION REFORM.

We shall not succeed in getting the
pension list down to what it ought 10
be. There can be no higher. more III
disputable authority as to what IL oughI
to be than Gen. Grant and Gen. Gar
field. and they have said that 1t ought
to be less than $50, 900, 000-probaDiy less
than $40, 600, 900 per annum. But IL may
be reduced very considerably from ltS
present eXactiOns upon the nation
There is now no longer surplus III tne
treasury. and the prospect is or dllli-
Guilty in finding means to carry on the
government.-Boston Herald.
No wonder that leading newspapers
of both parties, alarmed at this really
serious state of affairs, are demanding q
revision of the pension roll, and the re
ductiOn of the enormous burden tnat
has been saddled on the public in the
party scramble for the soldier vote. But
things would not be so bad If large
percentage Of this money were not mis-
applied. Such, however, is the case.
Indeed. it has been estimated that only
about one-half of these hundred and
eighty-siX millions is received by such
as are Justly entitled to share. Inc
other half goes to men who are either
improperly or fraudulently on the list.

to reform the pension system OF the
country; yet few matters will earlier
demand their serious attention than the
remodeling of this branch Of the govern
ment.-BaItimore BaltmOrean.
The Democracy proposes to make the
pension roll one of which the true SOL
dier will be proud. There is no longer
any doubt as to where the brave de-
tenders of the Union stand in this mat
ter. They know that the Democratic
party believes in giving pension to
every man who has the least particle Of
a claim OH the government; that honest
and patriotic devotion should be recog-
nized. They know that it does not be
lieve in allowing a class of cormorants
to spring up, who grow rich in few years
by sending out circulars and urging
men who have no particle of just
claim to put in an application simply
because the Republican party, with its
Raums and Tanners, will allow it for
the sake Of making votes, while they
themselves pocket the fees.-Saglnaw

THE DAY oF DAYS.

Christmas day. The chime-of the
bells is swelling on the ear. The ten
derest emotions are yelling in the
heart. The soul thrills with the soft
ening. Christening influence of this day
of days.
Dear memories crowd up through the
dim years and drive before them the
tears that silently fall on a tiny stock
ing, on broken doll, on a poor little
disfigured hobby-horse, on any of the
precious. priceless treasures of our own
childhood, Grand the tears fall thickeSt
hereof the baby days of our own boys
and girls, grown up" now, and grown
away from US. perhaps; aud possibly
grown into Gods close keeping in His
pleasant gardens of sleep.
There is no bitterness in these Christ
mas memories. The tears they bring
are cooling, healing balm to the spirit
chafed and roughened with rubbing
against the years.
With its joy-bells ringing, its young
hearts glowing and its old eyes dim
ming, the day comes and goes and
leaves its soothing impress on the little
world of man.
May it come to us all again.
