Danger of Placing Legislative Power
in Reckless Hands.

Danger of Placing Legislative Power
in Reckless Hands.
from the San Francisco Post.
The decision of the Supreme Court in
the Capital removal case marks the con-
clusion of somewhat novel episode IN
our history. The affair makes quite dis
tinct two very interesting things. namely.
the malign nature of the legislative power
when in the hands OF reckless politicians
and the recuperatiVe capabilities or COM
munity when threatened with disaster.
| The proposed removal OF the Capital to
San Jose was undou btedly in the begin
ming joke. When it became serious It
was, as equally beyond question, intended
as a blow at Sacramento. The PROPOSE
ton has provided work for a few lawyers
and some expense to Sacramento and San
Jose, but on the whole its effect may be
said to have been the very opposite Of
that designed.
San Jose, in consequence of the bung-
ling manner in which the legislation was
attempted, has failed to get a popular
vote on the capital removal question, but
Sacramento has been aroused from a Rip
Van Wrinkle sleep that promised before
this case came up TO end in oblivion.
Knowing that the charges against it were
mainly true, its citizens have set to work
to build q new Sacramento. They have
torn down their 40 awnings, ripped up
their plank sidewalks, flushed their
sewers and paved some of their streets
with bituminous rock. Ii there ever was
any valid sanitary reason why the capital
should be removed from the ancient town
il has now been obIiterated. In venting
its puny spite, therefore, the Legislature
has simply projected Sacramento into the
front rank of summer resorts.
The happy effect of this legislative cpl
sode. however, is not something that can
always be counted upon. Had Sacramento
not possessed extraordinary resources
the blow aimed at it, whether parted by
the Supreme Court or not. would have
killed it. Had the city not stirred its
stumps the fight to remove the Capital
would have been resumed again and
again. and would finally have been won.
AS it is, the project is probably dead. But
the episode shows that under certain con-
ditions the politicians whom we intrust
with the power to make our laws have
also the power to kill cities and change
the face Of nature. That is very excel
lent reason why the personal character Of
those bodies should be elevated.

BuIIdingLotS 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 a few Of them left, and knowing
that there are number Of people at
this time looking for property that
IS within a short distance Of the bust
ness center, and knowing positively
that there are no other lots 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-tourth cash; bal
ance can be paid in monthly pay
ments OF $40 or more, with interest at
7 per cent. per annum. There are
now two people who expect to pur-
chase within a 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-street side hav-
ing the advantage of the M-sreet
line, the K-street side the advantage
Of the ] and H-street lines, making
three lines within one block OF the
property The walking time to the
Postofhce is fifteen minutes. An ex-
animation Of this property will GER
tainly convince anyone that we have
not overrated it.

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

The Pacific Improvement Company has re-
Gently purchased twelve thousand acres 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 $40 to $50 per acre in subdivisions of
40, so, 40, 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 for three years. and then
the purchaser is to have i've 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 $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 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 win prove to
home-seekers that this is an opportunity for
the purchase of good agricultural land at $50
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 smalIsr quantities and its devotion
TO diligent husbandry

Monument to Bo Er, etsd in the National
 Cemetery at Arlington.

The Second Connecticut Heavy artll- iery. which was one of the fighting conn mands from this state during the war. has decided to erect a state monument in the National cemetery at Arlington. The design has been adopted, and the monument will be placed in position in the spring. says correspondent in the New York Times, The work will be unique in character. representing the old army corps and the service or the regiment in Virginia.
 The design was originated by Dwight C. Kilbourn Of Litehheld, chairman or the committee having the erection Of the monument in charge. The cross surmounting the work represents the Sixth corps badge. and will commemo- rate the participation of the regiment in the service and history of that corps in the Army of the Potomac. The Con- necticut coat of arms is shown on the shield. and the granite blocks beneath will represent fertilization. This will be emblematic of the Second Heavy's long service in the defences of Wash ington. 'n
 The regiment was in the battles Of Cold Harbor, Cedar Creek, Winchester and Petersburg, and Colonel Elisha Kel- logg, one of the bravest soldiers sent to the war by Connecticut, was killed at the head of the command at Cold Harbor. The regiment lost l47 men kill ed during the war. and ninety-five mor- tally wounded. The number of men who received wounds, but not of a fa- tai nature. were 427. Judge Augustus H. Fem of the Connecticut supreme court was a field officer In this regi- ment and lost his right arm on the field at Cedar Creek. Ex-Insurance Com missioner O. R. Fyler was prominent officer In the regiment.

.ITREC1LLS OLD DAYS
When an Important Industry Flourished
 Here,

When an Important Industry Flourished
 MT. Elias M Gilbert, descendant of Deputy Governor Gilbert, of the old New Haven colony, has sent to the His torical society rooms d photograph copy of a certificate givenh by Eews Cass, secretary of war; showing that Isaac Gilbert, his grandfather, was entitled to a pension as soldier in the war of the Revolution.
 A few of our older citizens can recall the bent form, positive manner and loud voice of this war veteran, born in 1757, and dying in 1885, at the age of seventy eight.
 Early in this century the tanning of hides was one of the capital industries of New Haven; and MT. Gilbert, with his sons, Elias, Levi and Stephen, were conspicuous leaders in this manufac- ture. The present generation would be rather astonished could they witness the long line of ox-carts loaded with bark, and the butchers wagons with their freight of hides then rolling over George street, from College to Temple streets on a spongy and springy road bed of tanners bark on their way to the Gilbert tannery. t
 At the first settlement of the town the. adjacen forests were largely oak. while the raising of cattle to be slaugh- tered, not only for home consumption, but for foreign export, was a leading object in New Haven farming. All this has passed away; New Haven has no tanneries, the neighboring forests have been cut down and we now feed on Chicago beef. . sts%
 | The Gilberts are emphatically town born family. But paternally and ma | formally they trace back their ancestry almost without exception, to the origi. | nal New Haven stock. Isaac Gilbert was fourth in descent from Matthew Gilbert, the earliest deacon of the First church of the colony, and one of Its last magistrates. His name stands on oul public records deputy governor of the colony, and in connection with Its; other magistrates as assenting most reluc. tantly to the surrender of their -brie1 independent existence to the chartered claims of Connecticut. ss:a51-,
 In the days Tor ancestral, inquiries some Gilbert should prepare a geneology of the family which traces its descent from a Puritan magistrate, who bravelJ
 took office in perilous times from whicl others9shrank, lest they should be in
 volved- m troubM for their kindness tt
