What is the Reason !?

Simply that Mrs. Briggs has
more than she can attend to
and is obliged to sacrifice this
place. Where is it? 1t is To-
Gated in Sacramento County,
on the American River, and
consists of 191 acres, u miles
from the Sacramento and Fol-
som Railroad and 10 miles
from Sacramento. 1t consists
Of $50 acres all in full-bearinq
nuscat grapes; has a residence
Of 7 rooms, good dryer for dry
ing grapes, and a water right,
which irrigates the whole
place.
This place was selected by G.
G. Briggs, who was consid-
cred one Of the best horticul-
turists in the State at his time.
He selected the best varieties Of
raisin grapes and superin-
tended planting them. The
place has cost over $4,000,
and it cannot be duplicated in
this State. 1t must be sold
within 80 days. There is only
$4,000 required to be paid in
cash, balance can stand and be
paid out Of the proceeds from
the ranch.
There were over eight car
loads Of raisins Of over "a, 900
pounds each shipped from this
place this year, besides the
large number that were sold
for the market. Itis no exag-
geration to state that an indus
triOus, frugal man can 90 upon
the place and pay for it out Of
the net proceeds in three years.
investigation will prove our
assertion to be correct. The
soil is as well adapted for rails
ins as any in this State.

WE yesterday said that the high school
is the poor mans school. We reaffirm
the statement. If it is true that only a
few pupils attend it compared to the
whole number in the grammar schools,
that does not disprove the proposition.
The poor man has the opportunity to use
the high school because it is at his door.
He cannot use the academy, because he
would have to send his child abroad to do
SO. Moreover, it is true that the great
majority of youths who have gone
through our high school course. in. say
the last twenty years, have been the chill
dren of parents in modest circumstances,
who. if there had been no high school
here, could not have borne the expense
of sending their sons and daughters to
colleges and seminaries in other places.
The high school is the opportunity of the
parent OF modest means who desires to
give his child something of an education
beyond the grammar grades. and it is for
that very reason that the people main

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 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 $40 per acre, in subdivisions of
40, so, 120, 16o 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 1ive equal an
nual installnents. 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 i've 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 SO per acre,
and good agricultural land at $50 an acre.

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 $50 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
accomp plishment.

body of land was the breaking up of large

THE Oakland Enquirer says it would
not object to Sacramento's claims to the
conventions if they had been accustomed
to sit regularly at Oakland. That is pre-
cisely the matter. We do not think these
State Conventions should be kept on
wheels: we hold that the seat of State
government, and in the Statehouse, is the
place for State political conventions. The
party conventions have been carted
around toe much, at Fresno, Los An
eelss. stockton, Oakland, San Francisco
and so on. The place for party State
Conventions is at the State Capital and in

THE vote in the English Commons for
a surprise. 1t was not anticipated that
such a measure would carry. But the
confidence of its opponents led to negli-
gence, and the vigilance of its friends
therefore resulted in victory. But the
passage of the measure, while wonder
fully significant of the change of senti-
ment among the English people, must
not be assumed to indicate any speedy
accomplishment of the end in view. The
Commons cannot abolish the Lords nor
the Lords the Commons. Nothing short
of a revolution can accomplish the de-
struction of the system that provides for
the upper house. There are some $50
peers entitled to sit, but it is rare that so
many as 100 assemble, and not ten out of
the lot can be found willing to destroy
their office. The idea of Labouchere that
to secure a majority in favor of abolish
ing the upper house is absurd. The
crown will never create these instru-
ments. 1t will not be the agency for the
destruction of the ancient aristocratic in
stitutlon of the kingdom. It may be
possible to bring the Lords to consent to
the sitting with them Of representatives
having the character and dignity of SEN
ators, but such scheme is as yet only
dimly outlined.

MARYsvILLE's OPINION.
The state Capital the Place for al
Conventions,

Conventions.
Eight years ago the convention of the
Republican party was held in Los An
geles, and in the campaign that followed
they met with defeat. Delegates from
this part of the State were at heavy ex-
pense in making the trip, and they were
not treated as well as they would have
been in Sacramento. The convention was
held in Armory Hall. with poor accom-
modations for seating the delegates, they
being packed into a small space which
was regular sweat box. Delegates rode
to the hotel free and paid one dollar each
to return to the depot after paying high
price for meals and lodging. The capitol
of the State is the place above all others
where the conventions should be held,
and if the committee act upon the correct
principle, that of right and justice TO the
persons who will compose the conven-
tions, they will be held in Sacramento
Marysville Democrat.

,HE METHOD OF THE GUTTER.

THE METHOD OF THE GUTTER.
The San Jose Mercury gets down Into
the gutter to libel this city by innuendo,
under the shield of a quotation from the
Washington Press. That paperis credited
with a statement that Governor Mark
ham is not candidate for reelection,
and it is added: "If his residence at the
Capital has caused him to become vic
tim of dyspepsia, we would assure him
that the new Capitol will be founded in
San Jose, the climate of which
quite eclipses that wherein he expects to
spend the remainder of his declining
years, outside of the feverish pool of poll
tics"
This is rather rough on Pasadena, or
would be if the Washington Press knew
anything about it. 1t is an entirely new
attack upon Sacramento to charge it with
being the cause of dyspepsia. 1t will as
tonish the medical faculty to learn that
the affliction. dyspepsia, is one related to
climatic conditions particularly.
The Mercury thanks the Washington
Press for having done the State good
service" by it's asinine expression. AT
least it has demonstrated the readiness
of nasty appetites among our people,
quick at all times to seize upon bits Of
carrion.
If the Capital contest is to be carried on
upon such levels it will all have to be
done by San Jose influences. Sacramento
will have nothing to do with such vulgar
and unrnanly weaponry as the Mercury
employs when it says: "San Jose will be
the Capital and politics will no longer be
a 'feverish pool"
This city might reply in kind besides
stigmatizing such assaults as they de-
serve; but the decent policy will prevail
here, whether the Capital goes or stays.
Sacramento does not propose to treat the
voters of the State as if they were fools
and lacking in the intelligence of even
idiots. Our San Jose friends are welcome
to such tactics.
If fair play. the truth, justice and wise
economy cannot win as against chicane,
libel, lying and mud-throwing, Saera-
mento viii not desire to be upon the win
ming side. The Capital is by no means so
desirable an acquisition as to move her
to sacrifice her self-respect. or to induce
her to get down into the gutter along
with such arguments as the Washington
Press suggests to the San Jose Mercury.

Wool Men Protest.

B oston, March 27.-About Is wool
dealers and commission merchants of
Boston met this afternoon at Young S
Hotel, to protest against the wool fea-
lures of the Wilson bill. A memorial to
Congress was unanimously adopted, set
ting forth what the signers call ''the
enormus value of the industry to the
country, it's threatened injury under a
free wool tariff, if not its practical ami
hilation in the Great West, from Texas
to Oregon. where it has been such an I'M
portant factor in carrying the best civil
lization into the great public domain"
The memorial asks for fair compen-
sating duty for the manufacturer, that
'both may live and that labor may not
be crushed by still further reduction of
wages" The memorial condemns the
bill in its entirety, and calls for the in
fuence and votes of the members of
Congress at large to kill it, claiming that
it has been prepared without practical
knowledge of the relations of the manu-
facturers to so-called raw materials; and
further, that it is man testify sectional
measure. the interests of certain locali-
ties having been subsidized for the votes
they command. A few domestic wool
houses whose members are pronounced
tree traders were not represented at the
meeting.
