may, it is said, pass muster. together
with few old master pictures that are
offered. In the amateur list there is,
however, some very creditable work, but
it is not amateur work that is bid for by
the fair authorities. What is the matter
with our artists? There are enough of
them and they have notable works at
command sufficient in number. They
made, we are assured, an exhibition Of
one hundred pictures in the California
building at the Columbian Exposition
that was highly creditable; why is it,
then, that upon their own ground they do
not do still better? In the list of con-
discover more than two names of artists
of any considerable coast reputation.
Either the artists are Indifferent regard
ing the success of the art department OF
the fair or else there has been some mis-
management that has offended the lead
ing artists. The art department should
not sink to a level of mediocrity; it will
be shame if it is not rescued from the
commonplace If the artists refuse to
come forward with good works the man
agement should turn its attention to Sc
curing exhibits OF high merit that are
now in private collections. Local pride
may, we think, be safely appealed to in
this matter. Thera are in the State many
notably fine canvases from Pacific Coast
studios that the general public has seen
very little of, and that probably can be
had on proper application and assurance.

THE HAwAIIAN MATTER.

1t must not be assumed that in COM
municating to the Hawaiian Provisional
Government request and demand, for
it to reinstate the Queen, that Minister
Willis has intended to convey the threat
that President Cleveland will use force to
accomplish the end had in view by the
demand.
The President has already explicitly
declared that he will not use force, since
he cannot do so without the consent of
Congress. But the request and demand
made by Minister Willis very evidently
are parts of the original plan to set the
United States right in this Hawaiian mat
ter, on the basis of the policy of the Ad-
ministration, which is to confess that in
the dethronement of the Queen this Gov
ernment gave unwarranted aid, and
therefore committed great wrong which
it is it's duty to right, so far as can be
done by the Chief Magistrate, and after
him by Congress.

tent copied after the French model, but
nowhere is the system so complete. help
ful and tree from cause for complaint as
IN France. 1t is said that China has had
such a system for ages, but it is there
wholly charitable and makes no gain for
the capital invested, but only sufficient
to meet expenses of maintenance.
There would seem to be no reason
why New York should not in
augurate some such a system as that
OF France, as an example for this country.
There is no State that could better afford
to make the experiment 1t might be
more difficult under our political sys-
tenn to keep such institutions under sur
veilIance. but we do successfully control

ings banks and insurance companies,

THE APPEAL TO THE SUPER
VISORS.

The County Road Convention has pre-
sented its petition to the Board of Super
visors, through the Executive Committee.
| At both sessions of the convention, in
October and December, strong respectful
resolutions were passed in the nature of
petitions, and the subject matter of which
| the Executive Committee has now pre-
sented to the board. They ask the Su-
pervisors to submit the permanent trunk
road question to the vote of the people.
That this is general representative Pc
| tition is not questioned. That the Super
visors ought to grant it is clear. That
they will do so we do not doubt. But it
is suggested the election could be more
economically held next fall. This is
error. The advertising of the call will be
the same, no matter when the election is
held; the election officers expenses have
been guaranteed by the petitioners for the
election this winter.
If the election is postponed until next
winter whole year will be lost, and
probably more, because permanent road
building cannot go on in the rainy season,
and after November, 1894, the work could
not be entered upon before the setting in
of winter. But if the election is called
now and held in February, by April
work can begin and the county will have
eight months of the present year in which
Ito go on with the work. Under the other
EprOposition nothing would he undertaken
before April, 1895, at the earliest.
But another strong reason is that this
purely economic question should not be
decided in a political contest, nor mixed
mp with the election of State and county
officers and legislators, and possibly the
Capital-removal question. 1t ought to be
kept from all other issues and be passed
upon by the people without any other
question entangling it.
The Board of Supervisors ought to
grant the petition whether they are fully
ladvised as to legal propositions or not, be-
cause there will be ample time before the
details of the official call can be prepared
| for the board to receive from its counsel
full advice as to the law. If that advice
shall be adverse-of which we have no
fear-then the board will simply decline
to publish the official call, and that will
end the matter.
Let US hope that the board. which is an
industrious one, and disposed to be pro-
gressive and make an enviable record for
| itself, will not hesitate tomorrow to re-
ply to the petitioners, 1--WE will call the
! election. If prior to the date of publica-
ton Of notice the law officer of the county
approves the questions submitted to him
well and good. if he holds contrary to the
views of the convention then we will not
issue the official call"
Certainly there can be no harm in thus
proceeding, while to the earnest men
laboring in the good road cause it means
very much that is favorable to the agita-
ton, just as delay to another session will
mean discouragement-iD other words,
the hour and the day is now, and there
can be no better time, since the work Of
educating and uplifting public sentiment
on road matters is so far advanced, and
the people are manifestly so ready to ex-
ploit the whole matter.

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 Tehama County. for the
purpose of promoting subdivision and settle
ment. This land embraces londs 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, so, 12o, 16O and $50 acres.
The terms upon which these lands are offared
are especially attractive. They will be sold in
subdivisions, as above indicated, by the pay
ment Of interest only for three years, at which
TINS the purchaser can begin the payment of
principal by paying the first OF five equal an.
nual instalIments. Thus no part of the prin-
cipal is to be paid for three years and then
the purchaser is to have i've years in which to
pay five equal annual fnstalIments. with In.
terest at the rate OF per cent per annur1.
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 $40 an acre,
with other grades OF land at prices to CORE.
gpond between these figures.
The assertion is frequently made that yood
lands, suitable for general farming and ea.
peciaily adapted for fruitgrowing. cannot be
had in California for less than from $50 to
S100 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 $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 q largo
holding for the purpose of promoting its set

HEAVY SHIPMENTS.
The San Francisco Chronicle says:


San Jose makes q big showing with nearly
9S. 900. 900 pounds OF shipments last year, OF
which over tWo-thlrdS comprised fresh and
dried fruits. These fruit shipments filed two
thousand big cars. 1t is only when figures are
massed in this way and brought down into
concrete form that one can get an adequate
idea OF what one OF the richest valleys in the
state produced last year.
And we are very glad that the country
which has San Jose for market center
does so we'll. But better showing by
far is that made by Sacramento as q
market and shipping center.
According to the above account two
thirds of 9S,O0O,0OO pounds was fruit dried
and green, or 65, 338, 882 shipped in the last
fruit year from San Jose.
But in the same period there were han
died and shipped East from Sacramento
OF green fruit alone, gathered here from
the area that makes Sacramento the ship
ping center, 1872 carloads, or more than
twice the number of cars credited to San
Jose for both green and dried fruit.
The dried fruit shipped from Sacra-
mento went in different class. and is not
included in the figures we give. Very
frequently themonthly freight shipments
from Sacramento are greater than all
other points, outside of San Francisco,
combined.
We cite these facts not at all to detract

half of the San Jose section; but if the
exhibit made by it has the significance
the Chronicle justly attributes to it, how
much more of emphasis there is in the
showing of the enormous shipments OF
green and dried fruits and general pro-
duce from all of the Sacramento center.
