ARARE OPPORTUNITY
Good Agricultural Land for SO
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, 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 q We 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 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 st SO per acre,
and good agricultural land at $50 an acre,
with other grades Of land at prices to corre-
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 largo
holding for the purpose of promoting its set
tlement in smaller quantities and its devotion
TO diligent husbandry.

IT may give the concerned food for re-
Election to consider the clear fact that
great wealth is freely alleged to be great
evil in its capitalized form without dis
tinct proof of that charge being made.
We apprehend that it is not the aggrega-
ton OF wealth that is so much the evil,
as it is the misuse of the opportunity.
AS Professor Sumner puts it, it Is in
proof that the chief influences of massed
wealth to-day are industrial, social and
not political; that the worst political ills
We have to complain of are not due to
aggregation Of wealth. We are not blind
to real evils of money aggregation in un-
wise uses. When the system of large
land holdings is broken up and rendered
impossible by wise code; when the
power to unlimitedly devise and by
adroit manipulation of trusteeships entail
great wealth is clipped; when one class is
not by unfair tariff legislation protected
to its Infinite gain at the expense and
infinite loss and suffering of another
class, we shall hear very little of the
evils of capitalization. Then we will en-
courage great investment for manage
ment of great enterprises, and for which
aggregation Of wealth is necessity. We
will then look upon wealth as an agency.
not an enemy; an instrument, not a
weapon. 1t will not then concern itself
except in conservative things, because 1t
will not be called upon to defend from
assault or flee from persecution.

THE COUPON INDUSTRY.

And still they come. The latest mail
brings Us more and more tempting adj
vices how we may fleece the subscribers
of the RECORD UNION by selling them
under the delusion that they are receiv-
ing something of high value at mar
yelously low price-pictures and books
on which we are guaranteed profit OF
from rs to loo per cent, if we will employ
the coupon racket.
The Historical Publication Company.
for instance, offers "Glimpses of America''
to US at seven cents, we to sell the num-
bers at fifteen cents or more, on the cou-
pom plan. As special bait, we are
offered colored supplement-camera
graphic present" with each portfolio.
The American Engraving Company of
fers us very handsome pictures of ac-
tresses and actors, an album collection OF
twenty parts, sixteen portraits to the
psrt, to be disposed of on the coupon
plan, and to cost US but So per one hun
dred albums, we to sell them at what we
please per part. Still another by yester-
days mail is an offer of ''The Midway
World, "pictures of the Midway Plaisanoe
in fifteen parts, sixteen fine pictures to
each part, to be furnished to US at So rs
per one hundred portfolios. and we to
have the monopoly of sale for this section
on the coupon racket
Still another circular letter in the same
mail from New York publishing-house
warns US to make no contracts with any
one until we hear again from this firm, as
it is about to issue the finest portfolio of
battlefield history and illustration ever
put from press. 1t is to come out in
twenty parts, and we are promised terms
of the most tempting character.
If there are any of our contemporaries
anxious to 60 into this sort of peddling
business, which is little less than imposi-
ton upon subscribers and coupon col
lectors, we can turn over to them fat lot
of offers from Eastern publishers who
explain how the newspaper can use the
subscriberlas a cat's-paw to rake out
chestnuts for both the spectators.

The sentiment is widely growing, one
the RECORD UNION has conserved from
the outset, that the policy of maintaining
sectional feeling in California is the worst
possible thing for the whole State. We
are one as State, and one only. without a
north or south or east or west; California
only and California for triumph in every
part and quarter and for every interest
wherever it may be. We will never at
tain the greatness that should be our
destiny until the State is a unit on all
questions that now divide as to pride,
jealousy, locality or rivalry.

CONGRESSMAN BLANCHARD, Chairman
of the Committee on Rivers and Harbors,
covers the whole ground in his recent
paper on "River and Harbor Improve
men," printed in the North american
ReUiew, when he says what we in Cali
fornia SO clearly perceive to be truth
crystahzed:
No class OF general legislation has, prob
ably, peen subjected TO more severe and con-
tinued criticism than that enacted for the
support and development OF our internal and
seaboard commerce by the improvement of
our rivers and harbors. And yet il is prob
able that no distribution OF public moneys
has conferred more common and lasting
benefits upon the people and upon the in
dustries OF The country at large. =
our method OF making appropriations for
river and harbor work has been faulty in the
extreme. In Europe, when the improvement
OF q harbor or river is deermined on, an
estimate OF the cost is made and q plan
adopted. Then all the money necessary for
the completion of the project is appropriated
at once and made available for the regular,
systematic and continuous prosecution of the
work With US, an order OF survey Of the
stream or harbor proposed to be improved Is
made by Congress, and this order is executed
by the War Department through the Engineer
Corps. INQUIRY is then made relative TO the
present and prospective commerce TO be
benefited by the contemplated improvement,
with the view of determining what public
necessity exists for the proposed expendi-
ture a plan of Improvement is formulated
and estimates of the cost figured. All this is
submitted in a detailed report 10 Congress.
So Tar, so good. Then If it be the Judgment OF
Congress that the project is worthy and the
improvement be entered on, the plan IS
formally adopted, and small appropriation,
frequently not more than 10, 15 or 80 per
cent. of the estimate, is made 70 begin the
work. There is always uncertainty wnen the
next appropriation TO continue the work will
be made, and how much il viii be. Some
times the results of one years work are de
stroyed or become valueless from one cause OF
another before the next appropriation can be
had This slow, sporadic, intermittent, un-
certain method OF providing the means 70
carry on public works has operat ed greatly to
our disadvantage. The fault of our system
lies In not appropriating the amount needed
TO complete public work when II Is ordereo
10 be commenced, or in not authorizing tne
making of contracts TO complete 1t.

dancers so much of suggestiveness and
vice, are thin-skinned and too moral to
stand erect. The dancers are by no
means attractive, not at all graceful, not
rythmic in motion or poetic in thought.
But they are as stiff backed and correct
as Puritan Sunday, compared to the
"Black Crook" ballet performance, the
skirt dances, serpentine dances and high
kicking on the boards of theaters of San

E. L. GoDKIN, In his recent paper on
the cause of bad politics, declares that
which the RECoRD-UNIoN has for years
dwelt upon with emphasis, namely, that
there is nothing from which the public
service of the country suffers more to-day
than the silence OF its educated class: that is,
the small amount of criticism which comes
from dlsinterested and competent sources.
1t is very rare thing tor an educated man to
say anything publicly about the questions of
the day. He is absorbed in science, or art, or
literature, in the practice of his profession, or
any interest at all in the questions Of the day,
it IS languid one. He is silent because he has
not much care, or because he does not wish to
eInbarrass the Administration or "hurt the
party or because he does not feel that any
Ining ne could say would make much differ
ence.
To this should be added, however, the
business class and that other class of in
differents who are neither the highly ed
ucated nor the ignorant, the stay-at
nome, comfort and money-loving, or pro-
fession or trade absorbed class, who leave
the management of politics to those who
make such management a business
hence the boss class and the vicious class
it uses.
