''a free boarding "high-toned
preparatory school, land so on, to the
degree of nausea, this senile sheet chatters.
The Bulletins idea of reformation of
criminal classes, of prevention of crime,
and of the attitude of society toward
child offenders against it, evidently is the
product of long contemplation of the
sweet, fair days of thumb-screws and
iron Marias, the rack and wheel, the
stake and faggot, of witch-burning and
thief hanging. The fact is, the BulIe-
TINS whole line of treatment of codes of
reform and punishment is the mold and
green of ancient, abandoned and grue-
some systems. That in the blaze of this
day and age such relic of the barbaric
and the heartless should still inger in
journalism is one of the amazing prob
lens of the hour.

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

The Pacific Improvement Company has re-
Gently purchased twelve thousand .cres OF
land in the heart of Tehasna 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 $40 per acre. in subdivisions Of
40, 80, 120, 16o and $40 acres.
The terms upon which these lands are offered
are especially attractive. They will be sold in
subdivisions, as above indicated, by the Dry
ment of interest only for three years, at which
time the purchaser can begin the payment Of
principal by paying the first of We equal an
nual 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 per cent. per annum,
making payments extending over a 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 $40 an aero
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 bs
had in California for less than from SEQ to
300 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.
For further particulars, call upon or ad-
dress WM. H. MILLS,

one of which can afford scholarship in
the school for the son or daughter of
some one of their membership, who is
unable to pay even the small tuition fee
and the cost of working tools. If one
fourth of the first and one-half of the
latter would but invest each the insignifi-
cant sum named, the school, instead of
listing but thirty or forty pupils an
nually, would have round hundred, an
enlarged corps of instructors, and be just
lied in adding new features and greater
facilities, while direct practical charity of
the order that helps one to help himself,
would be done in a manner never to fade
from out of the activities of life.
The institution enters its eighth year
next Monday night, it is announced, with
Its annual display, representative of the
work of the pupils, and our people are in
vited to attend on that occasion; and they
should, even if only thereby to show
their appreciation of the school. At the
same time they should take into serious
consideration the suggestions herein
/ thrown out
| For this is purely public work, COM
munity work, one of community pride,
abreast with the public school system,
the educational institutes of the city, it's
libraries and all other works tending to
lift up, to refine, to educate and TO direct
and outfit the youth of the day Alright.
The San Francisco press. New York
and st. Louis press, do not tire in COM
mending the art schools of those cities,
though they are purely the product OF
| private associations. In San Francisco
the press gives monthly reviews of the
progress of the schools there and does not
weary of applauding the men and women
who maintain it, and the public respond
to all these public expressions. That
school is now to be housed in an elegant
| building, by the bounty and generous en-
dowment of Mr.. Searles, and to have the
fostering care of the State University be-
sides, which lends to it its dignity and
Importance.
Let Sacramento not manifest less spirit
regarding its own school in its ele-
giant home it has, the property of the peo-
pie. Let them testify practically with
the opening of the new school year in the
middle of April to confidence in its
value to the community equal to that
shown by San Francisco concerning the
Art Associations School of Design. The
impetus now given to the San Francisco
school will be of value to the Sacramento
school; it will contribute sensibly to its
importance, but the practical aid must
come from our own people.

OF THE EARTH.

Mr.. George F. Becker, in the North
american Revie1C, takes the position that
a rather widespread idea that the earth is
a molten globe enveloped by chilled
crust is all wrong. While no positive
proof can be adduced, Mr.. Becker GER
tainly addresses reason when he says:
A very large part of the natural philoso-
phers consluer II most probable that the rocks
at or near the surface OF the globe would eX-
pand IN melting. If the earth was thus con-
stltuted time would come when the solid
crust would crack from its own weight, or
from some moderate internal disturbances; and
lneh block after block OF the crust region
after region of the world we know and love so
well, would plunge slowly and heavily TO
meet the rising, molten huid while whirl-
wlnds OF scalding steam would shroud perish
ing humanity. 1t would require Dante to
do justice TO the tragic side OF this theme. \
hard-hearted physicist would simply remark
tnat crust or such dimensions resting
luld OF inferior density is in unstable equilib-
rum; the rest being an evident consequence.
statements such as this are commonly con-
Sldered as extremely uninteresting; but the
Dantesque view OF the subject has been indi-
Gated sufhcently to show that the earth's in
terror Is within the sphere of human interest.
He thinks that the molten center theory
is one of the most interesting topics that
could possible excite legitimate inquiry
among men. But we doubt it-of what
special value can debate of the theories
be, when it is quite impossible to arrive
at demonstration? If it should be
strongly put that our own land is but
pellicle Of cool earth, resting upon a
seething, molten interior, how much
happier or better shall we be for the
knowledge or speculation?

WHILE names may change few things
are more permanent than party division
under representative government, says
Henry Cabot Lodge in the Forum. He
concludes that there is not good reason
for the periodical prophecy that this or
that great political party has been wiped
out' by national election. To establish
his position he quotes history to show
that just such forecasts were made in re-
gard to the Democratic party in 1864,
1868 and 1872. and of the Republican
party in 1884, 1888 and 1892. The De-
mocracy traces back to Jefferson in his
opposition to Washington and Hamilton,
but his leadership was under the title
Republican party" So. too, the Re-
publican party of to-day is easily trace
able in its strong lines of genealogy to the
party formed to support Washington and
Hamilton, having been known as Fed
eralist party, National Republican,
Wing and latterly Republican. Mr..
Lodge holds that the two great parties are
likely to fight their battle over again
along tho line of political thought and
constitutional construction with varying
fortunes, as in the past.

STILL THE LAW.

So many inquiries come to hand at the
office of the State Controller and at this
office concerning the coyote law and the
supposed changes made in it by the late
Legislature that it becomes necessary to
say to one and all-the law was not
amended; it stands to-day as it did from
the first; it is still the same bounteous
fount from which the skillful scalp-taker
can draw rich revenue.
