WE shall probably always export a
smaller proportion of corn to
Europe than of any other grain. Ed
ucate its people to use corn as we
may, what is consumed as human
food, directly must be small part
of what is used for feeding stock. In
that the greater cheapness OF corn at
home will always give us the ad-
vantage. 1t costs less to transport a
ton OF pork to Europe than it does to
send thlther the corn required to
feed and fatten so much.

Docking Horses Tails.

The arguments against the cruel
practice OF docking horses tails, "
says a correspondent, might meet
with more consideration in this Chris
tian land if the gentle danes who
countenance the practice were in
structed as TO the origin of the Gus
tom. During the time Warren Hast
ings was governor of India, over a
century ago, the English were first
shocked by encountering this cruel
fashion. originated by the savage
Tartars in the Thibetan mountains.
So repulsive did it seem TO our good
Anglo-Saxons that they not only re-
fused to buy horses thus deformed,
but actually paid the mountaineers q
bounty to induce them to forego the
practice. And now, . world of in
consistency, it is England which has
persuaded the gentle American TO
take up. rs the height of fashion,
this rude and barbarous mode, long
since discarded by those mountain
sagages. Shall we be obliged to inn
port a missionary from the savages

OSCAR WLDE's new play consists
of a title and a tumble of epigrams.
1t would be improved by the elimina-
tion of the epigrams. When, for in
stance, Wilde makes one character
aver that "a bad man is one who
admires innocence" he is indulging
in something very like idiocy. His
further allegation that 'well tied
tie is the first serious step in life" is
only half complete. A well tied tie,
trespassing somewhat on the ear, is
also often the last serious step in life.

ton OF the river as this part of the State
needs, the whole time of the committee
will be absorbed in San Francisco and by
the United States engineers, and in the
southern harbor inquiry. A half-dozen
schemes are already on foot to take up the
attention of the committee.
We want for the Sacramento something
more than paper investigation; some
thing more than cold engineering state
ment to the committee: something more
than the submission of lot of reports
and mass of figures moldy with the age
of the past. We want a personal inspec-
ton of the stream by the committee; that
the body shall have laid beforeit by direct
representatives of the people very con-
else, clearly stated and forcible statement
OF facts supported by undeniable proofs.
Unless our authorities act at once, and
with energy and in harmony with the
authorities Of the other river counties,
the best opportunity the State has ever
had to gain a footing in Congress will
have come and gone, possibly forever.

LOCAL NEEDS.

The Raymond excursionists who were
here half day on Tuesday were per-
fectly frank in giving their reasons why
they had not arranged to stop longer
time; 1--WE were told you had no hotel
in which to give US accommodation, such
as excursionists are supposed to like. We
don't know. but that is what we were
told"
We might just as well face this thing
first as last. Civilization is too much adj
vanced to make it possible for Sacra-
mento to keep abreast and not supply so
pressing a need as that referred to. 1t is
not the fault of present hotel proprietors
that first class houses are not of the mod
ern order. They are kept well enough,
but the houses themselves are not mod
ern, and hence in the competition with
other places this lack handicaps Sacra-
mento. If by any possibility amodern
hotel costs the people something more to
run than its income, nevertheless as an
investment for the city it would pay
richly. We want people to come here,
and stop here, to see how foully the city
has been slandered and vilified. But they
are steered away from the city because of
the lack to which we have referred.
The simple truth is, and Sacramento
must stand up to the rack and take it
and she will-we must have modern
hotel with some spacious grounds about
it, elevators, promenades, verandas, a
with outer exposures, fittings of modest
elegance, and so on, and the whole ele-
waited somewhat above street grades and
situated so centrally as to meet business
needs and yet satisfy social demands.
There are few citizens who do not see
the need for all this. To them let us say
they have but to go abroad few miles
to come into full realization of all 20
have said, and more. They cannot re-
main at home and nurse their paws like
alternating bears. and expect that things
which move only by the output OF human
energy will still move without the appli-
cation of such energy.
But we are going to build just such
hotel as is needed; OF that let the silurian
be fully advised, and that, too, along with
success for the factory scheme. The two
combined will not cost one-half of the
sum the city and its people have expend-
ed in the last four years alone in public
improvements. The spirit now moving
this people in the establishment of new
industries, and in promotion of the hotel
structure and in other directions, is of
the order OF which any community may
be loftily proud. We should see to it that
it does not lose momentum nor diminish
in energy.

A BRAVE woman of Red Bluff is talk
ing very freely, and with spice and
dash that takes the breath of the ordinary
man away. She declares that an apple
should be the emblem for the woman's
building at the Worlds Fair, and then
she gives the poor men this slap: 81
suppose that but for Eve the men to this
day would be idle, naked, sunburned
loafers, as was Adam-no better than
beasts, the serpents and the insects. But
Eve courageously took the apple, rescued
the world from sloth, indifference and
stupidity, and lifted the human race to a
level only little lower than that of the
angels" This woman is at least frank.
We vote unanimously that the apple be
adopted, and that she be elected COM
mittee of one to place it on the top
most pinnacle of the woman's building
and may we be there to see her climb.

sACRAMENTo,s MOVEMENT.

The bakersfield Californian says of
Sacramento:
The discussion of the proposed removal of
the State Capital from Sacramento has had
one good result anyhow. That city is going
To work determinedly to induce the establish
ment OF manufactures there, and is Offering
various inducements for the desired object
In this she IS setting good example, and is
at the same time following in the pathway of
many thriving Eastern cities.
That is all right, but our contemporary
should have said "tor the establishment
of more manufactures" for Sacramento
has fourishing factories already. But
her expanding trade. her large CONNER
cial interests, her traffic from this central
point with all the State, and most largely
north and east, makes it a business
proposition to place here manufactures
in greater variety as supplemental to the
city's jobbing and supply trade. These
would come, in time, but we are not con-
tent to wait for years, hence the present
movement.
that we are following the example of
other thriving cities. Our only mis-
fortune is just such as every town and
city in the Union experimentation are
some whose assistance is necessary,
representing property values large in ex-
tent, who are backward, and do not
march abreast with the vast majority of
the community. These men and women
must be moved so as to put them in line
with the advance. Sacramento proposes
to spare no labor to convince these peo-
pie of their error in Withholding their
signatures from the factories proposition.
Not a small number of them are nom
resident, and they are therefore without
the local atmosphere of enthusiasm and
OF need, but it is believed that they can
be convinced of their duty to the city.
that has been to them so many years such
a source of profit.

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 Teha:na County, Tor 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, 12o, 100 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 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.
cipal Is to be paid tor 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 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.
Inc assertion Is frequently made that good
lands, suitable for general farming, and es-
pecially adapted for fruit-growing, cannot be
had in California for less than from $50 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 81 o 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

THERE should be very large attend

The whole scheme is legitimate, because
it is not an attempt to run counter to
natural conditions, but to develop AND
avail of them. The water power of the
American River has existed ever since the
people have known the stream, but it re-
quired the subsidy of energy, and State
aid, or partnership, to develop and make
available that force. The effort Sacra-
mento is now making is simply and only
in the line of legitimate advertising upon
basis of safe returns assured. We have
advantages that should make this a
manufacturing center; what is needed is

buckles. This democratic simplicity to
which our Presidents adhere is not calcu-
