LOCAL improvement must not at any
time be lost sight of in the energy being
exerted to build up industrial enterprises.
These must be pushed on whether new
factories are Immediately or remotely
located here; whether next year or five
years hence, whether the introduction of
cheap motive power comes now, next
year or not for three years to come, the
street Improvement, sewage disposal and
business front improvements must go
on. Whether the city becomes manu-
featuring center early or later-and it
will so become-we must remove re-
proaches and provide for the municipal
improvements needed.

IT is not desirable for either place or for
the people of the State to open Capital
removal campaign thus early. The
RECoRD-UN has avoided doing it, so
far as it is concerned, because it is best to
act in GOODNESS and when fever heat on
both sides has subsidized. But the RECORD
UNION is beset with communications
daily and in great number upon the sub
ject, and we therefore take occasion to say
to one and all that the reason for the nom
appearance of such letters and the alb
sence of response is not because of dis
courtesy to citizens who address the
paper, but for the reasons stated.
At this time, too, it is fitting to call at
tention TO two simple facts and permit
their truth to have whatever effect it will.
First, the scurrilous, filthy and vicious
assault upon Sacramento and its people
by circular by the man Stipp, and which
was laid on legislators desks, has been,
we find, sent to all the newspaper press
of the country, presumably by the same
hand that penned it. a few journals
have to date reprinted it; others refused
to lend their columns to such rascality.
The San Jose committee and press re-
pudiated the thing, and declared that in
all this matter there should be fair play
only. and that there should not be on
their part SANDER of one city to aid
another. Sacramento, on her part. has
not engaged in any vilifcation. Nor will
she do so; her people are above such
methods. Yet among the eommunica-
tions sent to us is one from San Jose in
closing a scurrilous circular that is being
distributed there and elsewhere libeling
and vilifying this city and its people.
We submit to our fellow citizens of San
Jose that this is not fair play; that it is not
in keeping with the declarations of their
committees and their press. Ii, how
ever. they choose to permit indulgence in
such tactics, they can be assured that
Sacramento will not retaliate in kind.
Dirty work we will not engage in.
Having said thus much to correspondents
and the people, the RECORD UNION repeats
that it is not now campaign time-public
attention and energy can for awhile yet be
far better directed.

BARON HIRsCH's colony of Russian
Jews in New Jersey has proved flat
failure. The people could not adapt them
selves to the American methods of agri-
culture. The Chesterfield, Conn.,, colony
is failure also, and the wretched peas
ants are drifting into the cities to struggle
for life in the ''sweat shops" We doubt
if these refugees would have done any
better upon the rich lands of the West.
They have not the qualities out of which
success in agriculture in this land springs.

defensive case, and manifested patriotic
spirit in repelling charges against his
fatherland.
But if one-tenth only is true of the story
of Louis Paradyce published in San
Francisco paper yesterday, Secretary
Botkine will find it necessary to set up
new defenses for his Government. Let
us see: Paradyce-a grimly suggestive
name in connection with such a
ubject-claims that he is an American.
He left San Francisco on sealing voyage
January. 1892, on the schooner Thomas,
Captain Robinson, and storms drove
them to Russian coast, where, while he
and three others were filing water casks,
in July last, the schooner was driven to
sea by gale. Two of the party, how
ever, reached the ship.
Paradyce and Wilson remained on land
and after some days started for the inte-
rior to obtain food. On the road Russian
guards seized and bound them and sent
them, with hands lashed behind their
backs to Carasock, three days. foot jour
ney, where they were cast into foul
prison, among prisoners half-starved
and some of whom had been brutally
knouted.
The men told their story, presented
their claims as Americans, and demanded
release. But they were charged with be-
ing spies, and they were held accordingly
in closest confinement. The story OF
convict life as told by Paradyce is almost
too horrible for belief starvation, brutal
ity, beatings, cold, sickness for want OF
proper sustenance, the hardest of work,
the tyranny of the officers, the brutality
of the soldiers-all is detailed fully.
They were among 5000 convicts, many
of them political prisoners, and in the lot
were 400 women and young girls, and all
were in rags, and living in the filthiest
manner because cleanliness was impossi-
bic under the conditions imposed. The
story of the methods of the weekly
knouting of convicts makes one shudder
in reading. One recital is that of the
fogging of a feeble woman who was
about to become mother. 1t seems i'm
possible that the horrible tale can be true
that Paradyce relates of the treatment of
the poor creature.
After varied adventures and suffering
in prison camps and prison cells, and
long agonies in confinement, the Ameri-
cans were condemned to Siberian exile in
the Kara gold fields. At Kara they were
detained until the officers of an American
ship of war heard of their case, inter-
vened, and after much difficulty secured
their release, and took them to Shanghai
and thence. to Hongkong, where Para
dyce came on to San Francisco this week
on the steamer Gaelic.
If this story is not wholly fiction; if it
is tenth part truth, it puts to blush the
entire denial of Secretary Botkine con-
cerning the brutality of the Siberian sys-
tenn, and confirms all Mr.. Kennan and
Mr.. Bigelow have charged to the account
of Russia. AS against such tales as Para
dyce and Kennan tell, the revelations of
the Fourth International Prison Con-
gress, held in st. Petersburg, in 1891, and
the book of Mr. Julius NJ. Price, concern
ing the humane treatment of prisoners
in Siberia, count for nothing.

A HORRIBLE STORY.

Pierre Botkine, Secretary of the Rus

published in the Century paper defend
ing his native land from accusations
brought against it, such as these; that
the Russian Government is cruel and
despotic and inhumane in treatment
of prisoners, political and otherwise;
that liberty is an unknown quantity
in Russia; that the Siberian system
ia brutal and horribly cruel, and the
prison system terrible in its brutality
and inhumanity. He made very strong
