A VALUABLE CITIZEN,

AS soon as Mr.. j. II. Henry, who is
San Josean, saw a possible opportunity
for the removal of the Capital from Sac
ramento to San Jose, he displayed his
preference for the latter city in the most
unmistakable manner. He telerraphed
to the Hon. B. d. Murphy as follows:
1.-The feeling is strong this morning that
the motion to reconsider will not prevail.
There is blood in this movement. Get
here with a strong delegation by special
train to aid us.'
And so j. Fl. Henry, who has asked for
and has received franchises at the hands
of the city of Sacramento, who has been
treated in all respects as an enterprising
gentleman should be in the Capital City,
who is now petitioner before the Board
of City Trustees for further exclusive
franchises, who has not been at any time
bIackmailed by the press of this city, or
the members of the press when he in
vested his capital here, who has been
favored continuously in the interest of
fair dealing by this paper without
consideration ofany sort-either expected.
requested rimplied-who pretended to be
friend of this city when he had fayors to
ask at its hands-we say this exemplary
citizen telegraphed from the city of Sacra-
mento to the city of San Jose that there
is blood in this movement, and advises
the people of the city of San Jose to 'get
here with a strong delegation by special
train to aid u.s."
Mr.. Henry evidently belongs to that
class of citizens whom any city can afford
to part with without tears. The fewer of
his kind we have in Sacramento the bet
ter it will be for municipal prosperitv.
We are prepared to say that Mr.. Henry
could not have had what he has received
at the hands of the people of Sacramento
in San Jose without a large expenditure
of blackmaIl; and we are also prepared to
assert that the gentleman knows it.
Whatever classification may be found
III ioS0'A Aii'0Ae9O Va AooaA PrIue IN tne
mind of any citizen of the city of San
Jose, Mr.. j. H. Henry was not at liberty
to make choice as between Sacramento
and San Jose. If he is, then the sooner
he joins his compatriots at San Jose and
remains at home, the better it will suit
the people of this city. We understand
the gentleman to have made the pitiful
apology that he has large interests in San
Jose. The gentleman is welcome to any
interest he may have in San Jose, and it
will be a perfectly right thing for him
to promote those interests; but it is ar
rant treachery on his part to be before

ton under such circumstances does
lndorse. Had not the citizens gathered
as they did in mass meeting, even on the
day of rest-a meeting embracing the
representatives of the wealth, labor, in
dustry, scholarship, the trades and pro-
fessions of the COMMUNICATED not such
an indignation meeting been gathered, or
in some other way the denunciation and
repudiation have been made unmistaka-
bly, and emphatically, the Bee would
have claimed that it did voice the senti-
ment of this people.
This consideration clearly shows how
dangerous is misused power when SEN
sational journalism is its motive; it shows
how it may subject an entire community
to punishment unjust and undeserved.
The same morbid appetite for the sensa-
uonal led the Bee, in the same article
which has so aroused public indignation,
to say that against this city which its bit
terest enemies will quote with avidity,
though this same evening journal has
never tired heretofore of lauding Sacra-
mento as law-abiding, cleanly and on a
par with other civilized communities.
The liberty of journalism does not ex-
tend to the liberty to infiict injury upon
its patrons. There is limit, clear and
well defined, where personal response
bility ceases and community interest and
concern enter into the liberty to print
and to circulate printed opinions and
other matter
1t will not do to attempt to saddle the
responsibility for the unhappy and un-
wise action by the Legislature upon the
city Of Sacramento because it voted on
the legislative session-ex tension question,
as did all the rest Of the State, nor be-
cause 1t has not run to extravaganza and
fawning in those ''soeial briberiesr that
some people seem to assume influence the
official conduct OF legislators; an as
sumption We refuse to indorse.
If the Capital of the State ought to be
removed to some other point, no social
bribery" ought to influence anyone to
prevent it; if State economy and the die
tates of duty demand the retention of the
Capital at Sacramento, no lack of social
bribery" should operate to remove it.
1t remains that no defense whatever of
the Bees articles can be made: all
apology and crawfshing to that end
makes the offense worse. They were in
bad taste; they were unfit reading; in
their wide and indiscriminate application
they were as shamefully unjust as they
were indecent, and the legitimate result
OF sensational journalism is seen in the
effect they have produced.
The record-union., 1893-03-14

amuses than disturbs the people of Sac
ramento, but does not lessen their alb
horrence of the influences employed to
secure its promulgation.
To the honor of the people of Sacra-
mento, let it be remembered that they re-
torted not in kind; that they addressed
the Senators and Assemblymen with be-
coming dignity comporting with the
character of manliness and regard for
cleanliness.
That the Legislature can say that it has
dealt calmly and fairly with the Capital
City will not be claimed. That waiting
until the last hours of an expiring ses-
sion to spring and railroad through an
amendment to the organic law, fraught
with such Importance and weighty re-
sponsibility was seemly or even decent,
will not be seriously claimed by even the
gentlemen who engineered it. and who
to-day are the recipients of the praises of
rival city-honors we apprehend they
will not enjoy in the fruition of re-
moval of the capital to San Jose in 1894
or for many years thereafter.

LEGITIMATE RESULT OF SENsA.
TIONAL JOURNALISM.

The attitude of the EUeninq Bee, in
sweepingly assailing the legislators with
scandalous charges was, as we yesterday
said, wholly indefensible. Where there
is failure to name persons, and a compre-
hensive and all-embracing charge is made
against the membership of deliberative
body, it attaches to any and to all. This,
no sensible mind will venture to deny.
There can be no successful attempt
made to classify such charges in the cate
CORY of criticism; it is simply weak and
pitiful to advance such an idea. 1t is as
silly as is pompous boasting by a journal
that has done great community wrong,
of its personal responsibility for its utter
ances.
If there is any one thing that is better
settled than another, it is that no journal
has the right, no matter what its claim
and assumption, to place the community
in which it is published and from which
it receives its support, in false or an
equivocal attitude.
We want no quarrels with newspapers;
as rule they are bad; they do no good to
any community, and sensible people have
proper contempt for them. But we un-
hesitatingly declare that the ECening Bee
does not and has not reflected or in any
way represented the sentiment of this
,,aor,la or the SIiphtest thouUht of Sacra
mento's citizens, in the matter treated in
its scurrilous assault. Its attempt at
sensational journalism, in feeble imita-
ton of greater and hence more dangerous
papers that hold to such policies as de-
fensible, has had its legitimate result. 1t
did not, we repeat, and does not, in its
sweeping and impersonal assault upon
the characters of the members of the
Legislature who are abiding in our
midst, represent the sense or the faintest
suggestion of sentiment entertained by
this people.
The citizens of this city not only did
not approve, but they promptly de-
nounced the expressions of the Bee. The
fault OF the legislators resided in the as
sumption that any California community,
much less the city of Sacramento, could
or did indorse any such sensational and
scurrilous matter.
In broad sense a community that re-
mains silentin the face of such publica-

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 Tehaca 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, 80, 120, 160 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, at which
time the purchaser can begin the payment of
principal by paying the first OF fve equal an
nual installments. Thus no part of the prin-
clpal 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.

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
bad in California for less than nom SEQ 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 a large
holding for the purpose of promoting its set
tlement in smaller quantities and its devotion
to diligent husbandry.

WHAT THE CITY WANTS NOW.

A leading, calm minded Assemblyman Il
gave to group of citizens as one reason
why he voted to remove the capital:
"You have too many silurians; you are
non-progressive in your city,"
Assuming that he spoke the truth-and
that there were strong elements of truth
in his statement no one can truthfully
deny-the question to-day is coming
home to every voter: "Shall 1 vote for a
non-silurian. progressive, an energetic
man for Mayor in this hour of the city's
need, for level head, and clear business
like and courageous administration; or
shall vote with non-progressionist and
silurian elements ?"
Whoever responds to that question
with frankness to himself will reply:
81 will vote for the young, vigorous, en-
ergetic, progressive man of practical
ideas, Bernard U. Steinman."
We want no back-number officials
now; we need the energy, far-seeing and
push that in private concerns has proved
where lies the path to business success.
We want a man having some we'll
defined policy. and who has the courage
to announce it, and B. U. Steinman is the
only candidate for Mayor who has the
bravery to do so.
Mr.. Wells reply to inquiry as to his
policy was "that good men in employ
ment of the city need fear no removal by
him." So would any man say. But that
is not a policy, not an outline of city
needs and economics, and how to meet
them. b. u. Steinman has laid down the
lines of his intent, and to them he stands
pledged, to wit:
Economy in city government"
"Favoritism for none and pledges to
no man."
1.-THE city first, and all her needs; men
afterwards"
"Good streets; proper water supply;
good service for all money paid; as fair
work for the city as for an individual"
1.-The city ought to be independent for
street lighting, water supply and all else,
owning as fast as she can every instru-
ment to supply her needs"
'No parceling out Of offices to secure
votes"
''No agreements to pass over city de-
partments to the hands of bosses or their
servitors."
'The commercial Importance of the
city must be augmented; her defenses
watched and improved; the navigation of
her river conserved, and all things done
that can be done to advance her trade and
make Sacramento an invitation to good
people to come and abide within her
gates"
These are the ideas of B. U. Steinman.
He cannot accomplish them all in one
year, but he can set the ball in motion,
and he will when elected. as he will be
to-day.

want any valuable city franchise to fall

Nor should any franchise of any kind be

nicipal hospitality as this fellow has
done. Valuable and profitable enter

aged, but no good can come to city
which places any municipal franchise in

But let no one run away with the idea
that if there is a change of the seat of
government, that the city of Sacramento
is thereby placed upon sacrifcial altar.
She is city, as she was before she was
capital; she will still be city of CONNER
cial importance if the seat of government
shall be changed. Her growth since the
capital location here has not been due to
the fact that the seat of government was
10 located. If Sacramento ever suffers
decadence the fault will be due not to the
removal of such artificial dignities, but
to the inability of her people to improve
upon the natural advantages she enjoys.
These are so many, so strong, so stable;
this people has such self-reliance and
self-helpfulness, that they will not be
subject to either political whim or the
yaearies and midnight unwisdom of
legislative body. The villainous asper-
sions that soiled fair pages and were laid
upon the desks of Assemblymen yester-
dav. not only disgusted decent men, but
drew down upon the malignant and libel
ous author the just anathemas of every
