AN ANARcHIsr1c PROPOSITION.

A bill has been introduced in the As
sembly which provides that the militia
shall not be called upon to aid the officers
of the law in protecting the property of
any person against whom a strike or
lockout is pending, when the property
is threatened with destruction at the
hands of any person or persons engaged
in such strike or lockout, unless the as
sailed shall first have made an offer to ar
bitrate the difficulty. Nor is any proper
ty to be protected from labor riot assault
the taxes upon which may be delinquent.
Passing by all the absurdities of such
attempted legislation: waving all the
constitutional guarantees that American
citizens have the right to life, liberty and
the pursuit of happiness, which iuclndes
the right to possess and enjoy property.
real and personal; assuming that this
bill moves in sincerity, and that its pro-
motors really have some idea of a repub-
ican form of government and some con-
ception of the basic principles of free in
stitutions-let it be asked, what is to be-
come Of the other fellow? Suppose the
property of an employer is assailed by a
mob, and next to it stands the house and
possessions of an innocent party, which
must suffer if damage is done to the ad-
joining property Suppose that in the
same building there are several establish
ments, and but one is involved in q
strike? Imagine the case of factory in
which there is a strike, and that upon the
preservation of its works depends the
safety of an entire community from con-
fagration? In short, the involvements
that would result from such law, even
The record-union., 1893-01-17

If it could be SO framed as to avoid the
constitutional guarantees, would visit
upon the innocent the greater punish
ment in the larger number of cases.
The security Of liberty is in the preser-
vation OF order and the maintenance of
the laws. To that end the people, who
constitute the militia, have provided that
they may be called upon to support their
own laws by giving aid to local authority
when it is overawed. The law affords no
more protection to the property Of the
employer than to that Of the employe. It
follows that the moment it is attempted
to withdraw the protection of the power
OF the State from one kind of property,
| while maintaining it for another kind, or
for property owned by another class, the
reign of disorder begins aud anarchy
speedily follows.
| But it is waste Of time to discuss prop
ostions seriously such as that advanced
in the Assembly in the case referred to.
When the people are ready to abandon
their present form of government and
substitute for it the orders, edicts and
passions of private organizations; when
they are prepared to upturn the founda-
tions of a republican system and unIoose
the Textbooks of civilization, they will
be ready for such measures as that we
have briefly quoted.

[Rio Vista News, January I4th.7
The steamer Apache is reported to
have been swooping up around Myers
Landing in Steamboat Slough one night
last week in search OF the town of IsIeton.
There was a fog.
The swift current in the river proves
too strong for the cables Of the Freeport
telephone line crossing the river at this
place, and for the past ten days all mes
sages for up-river points have been sent

Phil Riehl will be down soon to swing
the cables into line.
The dredger Of District No. $50 was
toWed to the Toland District last Friday
by steamer Sonoma, Captain n. p. Nell

1t was expected that ten days would be

possible.

In the bill for the erection of a State
building in San Francisco to accommo-
date commissions and Offices located there,
provision is made for the Worlds Fair
Commission. Long before that building
can possibly be erected the Worlds Fair
Commission will have ceased to exist.
But why not provide an exhibition room
and office in the proposed building for
the State Board of Trade? 1t is essen
TALLY State institution, and ought to
have good measure of State aid and en-
couragement. The State will serve itself
and every interest in it by affording this
useful board ample room in the new
building it proposes TO erect. No institu-
ton has in recent years done so much for
State upbuilding as the State Board of
Trade. 1t operates in precisely the right
direction and in the right way, and ought
therefore to be so aided as to augment its
capacity for good. If it is allotted an ex-
hibition room in the new building, its ex-
hibit Will give to the structure State
character that will be of first importance
to the commonwealth, and make it the
headquarters, SO to speak, for all tourist
travel, bureau for the dissemination of
reliable information, and a depot of
knowledge concerning the State and all
its products. BY all means let there be
room provided for the State Board of
Trade, and thereby give that institution
home that will serve to perpetuate it and
broaden the sphere of its usefulness.

demand public trial, in which case it
shall be held in the usual manner.
1t is provided that youths may be sent
up by Superior Court also, where
parent or guardian complains in writing
that the juvenile is incorrigible and
vicious in conduct, and that he or she
cannot be controlled by the parent or
guardian, and that the welfare OF the
youth and the protection ofsociety advise
commitment to the institution.
So, too, youths may in like manner be
sent up Oh complaint by anyone in writ
ing, supported by due proof that the
child is vagrant. becoming depraved, and
that the parent or guardian cannot con-
troll the child, or refuses to do so. Also
when the mother makes complaint, the
father being dead or having abandoned
his family, or being an habitual drunk
ard, or failing to provide for the child,
and the mother being destitute it is ap-
parent that the child is liable to be
brought up to lead an idle and immoral
life-in such cases the child may be
rescued from it's surroundings and cared
for in the school.
Another section provides that on dis
charge the lad or girl shall have suitable
clothing. S. in money and transportation
to his or her home, or to the county from
which committed. There is very long
section providing that when a child is
sent up on complaint of its parent the
latter shall pay the cost of transportation
and maintenance, unless destitute; then
the expense is to be borne half by the
county and half by the State. When the
child has no parent or natural protector,
the cost of it to the school is to be divided
between the county and the State.
There is a provision by which, if any
parent or guardian or relative of a pupil
not more remote than a cousin, feels
aggrieved at the detention of the youth in
the school, or its guardianship by the
school, such person may file a complaint
and shall be heard upon it by the Trus-
tees. If they refuse the applicant, then
an appeal to the Superior Court may be
had by action brought.
1t is provided that the Sheriff may de-
pute the guardian or parent to convey the
child committed to the school, and that
when girls are to be transported to the
institution he shall appoint some suitable
woman to escort the girl and deliver her
to the school authorities. Where minor
has any estate, the cost of the minors
keeping in the school is to be borne out
of it, under order of court, after due pro-
cedure.
In all these features of the bill we do
not discover any thing that does not ap-
pear to be just and proper. 1t may be
that on close analysis of the measure
some hardships may be discovered as
liable to be visited upon parents or
minors. But, if so, any such can be rem
edied. Certainly there does not appear to
be manifested any other spirit in the bill
than that of kindness, beneficence and a
desire to make the scheme of reclaiming
youths and preventing them from becom-
ing the victims Of criminal environment
and vicious tendencies, as successful as
possible.

me Pacific improvement Company has re-
Gently purchased twelve thousand ceres of
land in the heart of Tehama 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
tom $40 to $50 per acre, in subdivisions of
40, 80, 120, 16o and 320 acres.
The terms upon which these lands are offered
are especially attractive. They will be sold in
subdivisions, as above indicated, bv the nav
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 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 z 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 SO per acre
and good agricultural land at $40 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 fruit growing. cannot be
had in California for less than from SEQ to
500 an acre. An examination of the land
subject of this advertisement viii prove to
home-seekers that this is an opportunity for
the purchase of good agricultural land at $50
an acre, and for qualities grading down to fair
agricultural land at $40 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.
