and the non-assimilable elements, from
the Mongolian to the Hun, and the brutal
and ignorant offscourings of Hungary to
the bomb-throwing and plotting human
cattle of other Europern States.
Lawlessness and violence. threatenings
and assault, the RECORD UNION has held to
be the worst possible policy for labor. and
calculated far more than the greed of con-
gested capital to degrade and enslave the
worker and set back industrial reforms.
1t has looked upon the complacent ac-
quieseence Of the Populist party in riot,
insurrection, violence and outrage in the
name OF labor, as indicating. as also does
its open declaration, that the party is
drifting to and is already within the cur
rent of doctrines more dangerous to
American institutions than the assaults
of the bomb-throwers and assassins who
plot in the beer cellars of Chicago and
the dark retreats of other great cities.
The RECORD UNION has held, and will
so continue to hold. that there is no free
dom not based on law. no liberty that is
not fortified by law-abiding, and that
may not be forfeited by lawlessness,
which is the agency that leads away from
the accomplishment of reform. and the
betterment of social and political condi-
tions.
The inveterate enemy of political CHI
cane, bossism and corruption in any
form and in any branch of the Govern
ment. the RECORD is conscious to-day that
it has been the most consistent friend and
is the most courageous advocate of poll
cies that will improve industrial condi-
tons, enlarge productive capacity,
strengthen patriotic conviction, solidify
and insure national unity and secure to
all law-abiding men the largest freedom
and broadest liberty possible under a
system of free government.
The records of the past have justified
the position of The RECORD UNIONS sup

future will prove that it is the friend of
wage -earners, American civilization,
high moral standards, human freedom.

wisely administered, popular education
and self-goyernment, precisely as it is
the unrelenting foe of political chicane.
moral debasement. monopolization,
demagogy in all forms, anarchism, law
lessness and all unamericanism.
Its only regret is that reforms do not
run as fast as its desire or its advocacy;
that so many of our people are short
sighted and accept as friendliness that
which is the enemy of progress; that SO
many Of the masses of the people are on
occasions such as the recent past led
astray for the moment by blind leaders
and fail to perceive that these pretended
champions of human rights and human
progress are generally the worst enemies
of all advancement and are hindrances to
the attainment of any worthy ends.

German Freedom Versus American

German Freedom Versus American
Despotism.
EDS. RECORD-UNIoN: A gentleman of
this city has just returned from trip
through Germany, and has given an in
teresting account of discussion which
he had on a Government railway train in
that country with some natives. They
alleged that all Americans must be ras-
Gals because all of our newspapers were
busy in abusing ali Of our people.
To this my friend made answer that the
pay of army officers and railway men in
Germany was so low that positions of any
importance were not given unless the ap-
plieants had enough private means to
make up the expenses requisite to sup
port their respective social positions; and
he argued that rascality, therefore, must
be common in Germany because of the
temptations arising from insufficient pay.
The natives immediately replied that
they could have him arrested for
criticising the acts OF the German Gov
ernment in establishing such rates Of pay
and for libeling the character of the off,
cial body; possibly, if the train had been
behind timed and if our citizen had
damned the railway, he could have been
arrested for that tool

that you are friendly to the Southern Pa
cific Company.
/ wish emphatically to damn that COM
pany, and the reason is this: They will
not give me pass. Next / wish en-
phatically to damn the employees of that
company, and the reason is this: When
ever l attempt to ride without paying
they kick me off the train.
Then wish to say to owners and en-
ployes that over 60, 100000 people in this
country receive no dividends or wages
from railroads, but, on the other hand,
they are patrons of these roads. Re-
Gently the 60,000,000 were deprived of
the use of these quasi-public highways
by the acts of the employees; and further,
it is alleged that the public has been in
jured by the acts of the owners and that
the United States Courts will investigate.
Therefore let me assert that, in this
country, the people do not wish to own
the railroads, but they do wish to keep
them under the power Of the law. own
ers and employees jointly must under
stand that whatever laws now exist, or
hereafter shall be made, will be en-
forced more rigidly than in the case Of
other plants, such as factories, which are
not within the classification of public
carriers. D. A. NJ. NATION.

BE SENSIBLE, KNOX.

The defense in the train wreck exam
ination at Woodland insults intelligence
and does violence to its own common
sense by Insisting, as it does every day,
that the arming of strikers in this city,
the ordering of armed men from Duns-
muir, Red Bluff and other points was for
a peaceful and lawful purpose.
''They were armed to protect railway
property" exclaims Dictator Knox,
against the lawless and turbulent ele-
ment." be adds. But how silly is this
statement in the face of the fact that there
were some 1000 Woodworking, we'll
known and stalwart railroad men in this
city, mainly residents, who had obeyed
Knox's order to strike and who could be
depended upon to guard property and
stand off the lawless element if need be,
which Knox claims had so suddenly
drifted into the city or come out of hiding.
All this chatter about peaceful arming
is pure bosh and Knox and his colleagues
should have the manliness to put stop
to it. It was not for the purpose of pro-
tecting railroad property that he tele-
graphed to various points to bring arms
and send on bands of armed men; it was
not for that purpose that large supplies Of
ammunition were purchased IN this city
and distributed among the arrivals;
it was not for that purpose that cannon
was secured and species of grape and
shrapnel provided for it: it was not for
that purpose that Knox lied when he tel

ARARE OPPORTUNITY
Good Agricultural Land for $40
to $50 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, 12O, 100 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 TOR three years, and then
the purchaser is to have five years in which 70
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 $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 fruitgrowing, cannot be
had in 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 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 large
holding for the purpose of promoting its set
tlement in smaller quantities and its devotion
to dilgent husbandry.

SOLID SECURITIES.

California Four Per Cent. Bonds Bring
ing Big Premium.
California State bonds come high, but
people must have them. Capital is now
so shy of investment in business enter
prises that would give employment to
mechanics and laboring men that East
ern moneyed men prefer to invest in
State and county bonds.
Recently California sold SG00,000 worth
of 4 per cent. union depot bonds at
SlOI 3-I6, but Eastern brokers are de-
manding 10 per cent. premium on them,
and that, too, without the usual condition
that they must be paid in gold.

IT IS simply laughable to hear counsel
for defense in the trestle No. murder
examination now in progress in Wood
land continually asserting that Knox and
the other members of the Mediation
Committee repeatedly stated that they
were opposed to violence and lawless-

men in their organization. True, they
did make that assertion, but did anyone
believe it, after seeing how promptly the

with the appeal, 'you come, with all guns

not cavalryman in Sacramento on that
date, nor were any then expected by the
authorities.
Knox should come down to level COM

to be used to offend intelligence by the
silly statement that he was calling for
arms and volunteers and storing guns,
gutter-sneaks and the criminal class-it's
too thin, and it discredits Knox's sanity.

Once More the Rnndenu,

Late illustrated exchanges from Paris
contain pictures of women wearing their
hair in bandeaux, style common
enough some thirty years ago. The
fashion Is already we'll under way In
the French capital, and will, Of course,
soon be the correct thing in this country.
Any old daguerreotype will show just
what the bandeau Is When last in fash
ion 1t was accompanied by the chignon,
but The revival of to-day omits that
abomination. The bandeau is brought
down from the middle Of the brow, so
that 1t touches the outer corner of the
eyebrow, hides most OF the forehead, a
portion of the cheek and all but the
lower tip of the ear. 1t must be trained to
cling to the face with a closeness that
no rude wind O. other force can disturb.
for a bandeau in a ruffied condition Is,
of all hopelessly homogeneous affairs, the
worst. or course fashion will be gener-
ally observed in this Instance, although
but few faces can stand this severe de-
cree. A pale, clear complexion and
cameo-like features are adapted to the
bandeau, but to any other the change
from frizzes and wavy hair Is likely to
be more or less trying.
