A TOUGH LOT.

They Didn't Go With the Army, and
Now They are In jail.
1t was fondly believed, when Houbert's s
army left here last Friday. that all the
bummers in town had seized the opper-
tunity to get away, but it appears there
are some still here.
Last evening squad of police went
down to the Steamboat Saloon, at Front
and X streets, and gathered in ten robust
hobos and locked them up. They will
have q chance to explain to Justice De-
vine this morning whether or not there
is any excuse for their presence here.
One fellow was very loud in his pro-
testaIons at the police station, and
another of the gang thought to throw off
suspicion against himself by saying to
the kicker:
Never mind, Tom, I'll 60 right down
and tell Smith you're here, an Well see
about this thing"
AS he started for the door Captain
Greene caught him by the arm, at the
same time remarking: Yes, but who'll
90 down and tell Smith you're in here?
Now walk in there with the restW
The last heard from the fellow as the
iron door closed behind him was: "This
is an outrage on American citizenship ~
Bang went the door, and he began
searching Tor soft bunk in which to

Bu1dipgLOS Most Desirable

The attention of our readers has
been several times called to those
lots in the block known as the Carey
Block, at Twentieth and K streets.
Since our advertisement of last
winter, we have been selling from
this block, and up to the present
time have sold six lots. As there are
only few Of them let, and knowing
that there are a number of people at
this time looking for property that
IS within short distance of the busi-
ness center, and knowing positively
that there are no other lois inside OF
Twentieth street that can be pur-
chased as cheaply as we offer these,
we desire to impress upon intending
purchasers the importance of exam
ing this property-not only with a
view OF buying for immediate homes,
but for future investment. All of the
purchasers who have taken advantage
of this offer are young people, who
have already or intend to improve
their purchase with modern cottages.
The prices, as we said before, are
very low, and within the means OF
every wage-earner. To those who
wish to buy on the installment plan,
we require only one-fourth cash; bal
ance can be paid in monthly pay
ments o. $40 or more, with interest at
T per cent. per annum. There are
now two people who expect to pur-
chase within few days. These peo-
pie are intending to buy with the
purpose of building and using the
property for homes. The advantage
OF this property as TO car service is
as good as any property above
Tenth street.-the L-sreet side hav-
ing the advantage of the M-street
line, the K-street side the advantage
of the and H-street lines, making
three lines within one block OF the
property. The walking tine to the
Postof6ce is fifteen minutes An ex-
animation of this property will GER
tainly convince anyone that we have
not overrated 1t.

OPPORTUNITY
Good Agricultural Land for $40
to 500 per Acre.

The 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
from SO to $50 per acre, in subdivisions of
40, 80, 12O, 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 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 7 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 9t SO per acre,
and good agricultural land at $50 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
had IL California for less than from $50 to
500 an acre. An examination of the land
subject of this advertisement will prove to
home-seekers that this is 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.

A BRAwL1Ne HUMBUG.

The organizing of the INDECENT, along
with tramps and imposters. to be led
across the country on FOOLS errand by
a lot of demagogues and shortsighted
fanatics, has not turned out such a sue
cess as to prove that the people are all
fools by any means. American commu-
mites are demonstrating that they are
not one bit lacking in sympathy for the
do their full duty by the poor they have
with them, but that they will not enter
upon policy of shifting responsibilities
of this kind. So much Of that as has been
done the people now see and realize was
unwise and unfair.
Just how some of the indignant are
going to hold the railroad companies re-
sponsible, however, for these wanderings
of the deluded and the imposters, will
puzzle wise men. What are the com pa
MES to do2 Are they to refuse to carry
these people when their carriage is paid
forP Are they to constitute themselves
Immigration Commissioners and pass
upon the financial capacity of proposing
passengers? Are they to refuse to carry
passengers and then have their trains
seized and wrecked by mobs?
What guarantee do the State Govern
ments give them that if they stand be-
tween the pilgrims" and the States that
the latter will protect the property of the
companies2 Has any State done so yet.
though tramps by the thousand have
been seizing trains and defying conduct
ors and trainmen? 1t is right to hold
railroad men. like all other common car
riers, to full accountability and to compel
them to discharge all obligations due the
public, but there must be reason in all
demands, and in no case can the State or
people demand justice and refuse to do
Justice. If tramp seizes upon the farm
er's wagon and insists upon riding to
town with him, and by menace
and show of force promises to sue
ceed, the State steps in and pro-
tects the owner of the vehicle and
takes possession of the offender and pun
ishes him. Has anyone yet suggested
that it owes precisely the same duty to
the operator of wagon on an iron trackS
The public good, wise policy and
cornmon sense, as well as the dictates OF
Justice and guaranteed rights under the
law, all demand that the several railroad
companies properties now being seized
by the tramps and so-called industrial
pilgrims shall be protected against such
seizure and use. 1t is the quickest way,
besides to the stoppage of these gypsy
wanderdngs and spring picnics. by men.
seven out of ten of whom would not
work if offered it on every hand.
Honest labor, sweating industry. that
tolls willingly and puts money into the
treasury, has right to protection against
the masquerading of these industrial
armies in the robes of labor. The simple
truth is that the decent labor sentiment
of the land is not with these gangs Of
nomads, and does not indorse the meth
ods they have taken to live upon the in
dustry and provisions of others.

From the San Francico Examiner.l
The Land OF Sunshine Company, the
purchaser of the Merced property lately
belonging to the Crock er- Huffman Land

organization. The character OF the COM
pany may be inferred by the names and
standing Of its directors.
The directors are as follows: Azel Il.
Hatch, leading attorney of Chicago and
one of the proprietors of the Chicago

able Trust Company; William 5. North,
President OF the Union Sewing Machine
Company; W. II. Holcomb, formerly
Manager of the Union Pacific Railroad;
Isaac NJ. Perry, President Of the

fion or capital, reinforced by journalistic

The SACRAMENTO RECORD UNION is
just now the recipient of some very pretty
compliments from the press of this State,
by reason of that journal having added
another year to its ripe old age, having
entered upon its forty-third year. Usu-
ally these stereotyped compliments are
bestowed more through courtesy than on
account of any real merit the publication
can lay claim to, either as an educator or
as news medium. In such cases this
fulsome fiattery is disgusting to intelligent
people. But in this instance the words OF
praise that are being showered on the
RECORD UNION are justly merited. 1t

never besmirched with unclean reading,
but, on the contrary, its matter is ediiy-
ing, entertaining and healthy. Its ed
torials are always crisp, and deal with
live topics of the day. AS news-gath-
