WHERE THE SHOE PrNcHEs.

| The San Francisco Bulletin feels the
steel, and labors pleadingly to explain
that San Francisco does not wish to de-
stroy terminal points in the interior. 1t
| contends that the demand is for lower
local freight rates only. No one has ever
objected to any legitimate effort to secure
the lowest possible rates consistent with
justice to the business of the carriers.
The RECoRD-UNIoN has repeatedly so
expressed itself, but it is part of the
business of the Bulletin to ignore these
declarations, and to continue in the asser-
ton that there is some vicious resistance
IN that direction, and that therein reside
all the woes of San Francisco.
The truth is, and history and the pres
ent conditions prove it, that San Fran
cisco wishes to absorb all distribution.
With its back to its advantages as sea-
port, making no effort to extend its trade
| across the Pacific and meet the real mer-
chants of the world, it faces the interior
with the plea that the result of metro
politan neglect and silurianism is due
wholly to local conditions maintained by
the railroad companies. In its review of
the outline history which the RECORD
UNION gave of the time when transconti-
| mental shipments all went to San Fran
cisco, and were then hauled back to in
terror points, with charges for the entire
mileage, it stops short in the recital and
makes no reference to the significance of
the change that made other cites than San
Francisco distributing centers, and rem
dered the through haul to the latter point
unnecessary. 1t was at just that point
that the shoe began to pinch the metropo-
lis, and its complaint since then has not
ceased.
If it is true, as the Bulletin asserts, that
vigor on the part of San Francisco in
trade and importation by sea will cause
overland roads to ''cut their rates in two.u
the natural inquiry is, ''Why does not
San Francisco set about it?" The REC
oRD-UNIoN some days ago preceded the
Bulletin in that statement, when it said
that if San Francisco should establish
and control sea lines as do Melbourne.
Hamburg and half score of other trade
centers, she would be confronted with
new standard of land importation rates;
that that would be the natural and logical
result. 1t would seem to be precisely
what San Francisco desires. But the in
slant that suggested truth was brought
up by this paper, the twin Of the Bulletin
lugubriously declared that that was what
was to be feared; that that ferocious mon
ster, the railroad carrige system, would
reduce its rates to meet sea competition.
We submit that that is reasoning in
circle of lurid and amazing stupidity.
In short the whole line of reasoning
adopted by the San Francisco agitation
press discloses this fact, that the demand
of San Francisco is for discriminating
protection against any and all other dis
| tributing points; protection so stringent
that that city will become the sole and
only distributor.

ARARE OPPORTUNITY
Good Agricultural Land for $40
to $40 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 isnd embraces lands from first
class Sacramento Valley agricultural land. to
land of fair average quality, and is offered at
nom 81 % to $50 per acre. in subdivisions of
40, so, lao, $50 and $50 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 i've equal annual installments, with in
terest at the rate of 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 $40 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 $50 to
400 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 $50
an acre, and for qualities grading down to fair
agricultural land at $40 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 large
noiolng for the purpose of promoting its set
Element in smaller quantities and its devotion
to diligent husbandry.

PksHsuoEouou, w. Va, Nov. 3.-The
greatest congressional combination that
ever visited Richie county wound up
here last night. 1t was composed Of
Fire Alarm Charley Caldwell and the
inimitable Romeo II. Freer. Caldwell
came through Roane and Writ coun-
ties, and tho combination began at
Smithville last Monday afternoon. They
have spoken from three to five hours at
Smithville, Pullman, HarriNille, Cairo
and at this place. Such a presentation
OF the issues; such logic and eloquence,
with INDISPENSABLE humor, wit and ap-
peals were never heard in this section
OF the country. They simply carried
the people by storm. Old, gray-haired
people were carried back to lS57-60-
the old free trade days-and made to
laugh and cry alternately, while young
men and women would wave hats aud
kerchiefs and raise the roofs with
shouts and laughter. The Capehart-
Cristmeyer fdscO iCdS exploded. 1t has
rccoiled and made Caldwell many sup
portcrs.
Democrats came out openly and de-
clared for Caldwell, on account OF the
mud singing policy OF Capehart. Such
a scathing arraignment as Caldwell gave
Capehart was never heard. Capehart
circulated the report that Caldwell en-
bezzled the money which belonged to
infant children OF an old soldier. The
pension office special examiner exoner-
ated Caldwell. Capehart said Cald-
wells bondsmen. Judge Mcclure aud
Others. were financially insolvent, had
their property in their wives names,
etc. The Democrats arc leaving him in
Richie county. Eustace Gibson's letter
declaring against him is having tell
ing effect We will give Caldwell $50
majority in old Richie county. The
methods of Capehart, Allen o. Myers
and the men who made figure SIS out Of
2's are not wanted in Richie county.

NRw YoaK, Nov. G.-The presidential

men must receive majority ofall the
votes cast or the election will bo re-

national politics has constituted the

CLAIMS on TnE DouDTFUL STATES

Ofthe fifteen doubtful states, Nevada
with its three electoral votes, Is practi-
cally conceded to the Peoples party by
both of the leading parties, thus leav-
ing only fourteen states actively in con-
tention. OF these the Democrats make
loudest claims OF Alabama, New Jersey
and West Virginia, swelling their total
to liza. The RepubliCans express the
greatest confidence in carrying Colo.
RADIO. South Dakota, Idaho and Ne
braska, which would swell their total to
1871.
Admitting the claims OF the two old
parties and conceding Nevada to
Weaver, the very doubtful states re-
main as New York, Indiana, Connecti-
cut, Kansas, North Dakota, Wyoming
and Montana, These states have total
OF rs votes and OF these 76votes the
Democrats must gain 40 in order to
win, and the Republicans must secure
80.
While on these figures the Republic
cans would appear to have the advan-
tnce, this presumption is not borne out
when it is remembered that the carry
ing OF Kansas, North Dakota and Wy
oming by the Peoples party would in
sure to Democratic advantage by tend-
ing to render q choice in the electoral
college impossible and thus throwing
the election into the Democratic house
OF representatives, whore Cleveland
would surely triumph.
