his friend. The bushwhacker peered
over the log and saw his victim lying on
the stony road and the horse ~galloping
away in alright, and q smile of satisfac-
tion came to his face as he rose up and
hurried through the woods. War is not
always war. Sometimes it is assassina-
tion-murder.
Twenty rods beyond the body lying in
the road is o humble cabin, tenanted
only by a m and two children. War
has forced the husband and father into
the ranks. At sound Of the shot and the
chatter Of hoofs they rise up from their
frugal MONDAY meal and run down to
the gate. A dead man is by no means a
rare sight to mother and children. Hun
dreds Of dead have been left on that
highway in the last two years, and at
times the cabin has been full of wounded
men who groaned and cursed.
'It's a Yankee who's been bushwhack-

from q surgeon our Little Jim could not
havefallen into better hands. She probed
for the bullet and found II, and II living

THE Oakland Times protests that Cali
fornia cities are not such moral pest
holes as fanatical preaching reformers
pirate OF. True! Human nature is in
California much as it is everywhere else
and not worse. Sacramento, for instance,
is as roundly slandered by these strolling
revivalists as is Stockton and Oakland,
but we know that our community is as
clean, moral, law-abiding and mindful of
human rights and decency as any other.
That just now Sacramento is slandered
outrageously, outside of the pulpit,
mind, we recognize as the output OF a
great deal of Misrepresentation and
spleen and envy and uncharitableness.
But as it physically healthful, it's peo-
pie strong and vigorous, so its moral
tone is level with that of any CONNER
cial city. Let neither Stockton nor Oak
land be disturbed by the assaults made
upon them. Follow the example of
Sacramento and live it down. The Times
says Oakland has endured abuse and
assaults from moral thinkers until the
people down there have ''gotten used to
it," and now laugh when Holy Joes"
declare it TO be on the brink of hell.
That is we'll, but still it should not de-
termine into total Indifference. The
moral vigor that strikes back has the
respect of mankind.

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 Teha<na 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 $40 to $50 per acre, in subdivisions Of
40, so, 120, $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 pay
ment of interest only for three years, q. which
time the purchaser can begin the payment OF
principal by paying the first of i've equal an
nEal installments. Thus no part of the prin-
cipal 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 7 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 $40 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 $50 to
800 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 SO 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
holding for the purpose of promoting its set
tlement in smaller quantities and its devotion
to diligent husbandry.

dress VIM. H. MILLS,

A SAN FRANCISCO paper asks: !:

When Will Californians learn to love their
State more than they hate their political OPP
ponents? When will they know enough 10
put California beyond the injury of their petty
Jealousies, their mean disputes and personal
fights?
When they learn that State gains i'm
portance and influence in the sisterhood
of States by unity of purpose; when they
learn that it is a pitiable weakness, invit-
ing the contempt of the people of other
States, to prove by our acts and declara-
tions that we are State of sections, clans
and cliques; when we learn that the worst
possible policy for people to adopt is to
attempt to pull down one city to promote
the vanity of another; when we learn
that we cannot harm one place or section
of the State without injury to the whole
body of the commonwealth; when we
learn that love, loyalty and shoulder-to-
shoulder faith in each other is irresistible
strength, while wrangling, contention
and vilitication of one another is weak
ness and dissolution.

TIE Oakland. Times SAWS:

Now it is proposed to elevate" the rank of
our Ministers to foreign courts Instead of
plain, ordinary agents of the Government we
are to have ambassadors vested with extra
ordinary dignity. The powers OF these Embas-
sadorS are not to be extended nor the salary
OF the Office increased, but the rank is to be
raised so that when they ''go down to dinner"
they shall not be subjected to the humiliation
OF walking behind the representative OF the
Ahkoond of Swat or the Boss of Timbuctoo.
II our agents are sent to foreign courts toE the
purpose OF "going down to dinner we IAost
heartily favor the creation of the dignity of
ambassador. If they are sent TO these foreign
countries for the purpose of representing the
American Government in business affairs we
heartily protest against the fool proposition.
But is it foolish proposition when we
consider that it places our representative
at the Court ofSt. James in more promi-
nent political, as we'll as social attitude, in
the nation to which he is accredited? OF
course, it neither enhances nor lessons
his dignities at home, but if it responds
to compliment paid to our nation by
Great Britain, as it does, what harm
comes of it? How can it affect republi-
can institutions or democratic simplicity?
