we cannot understand what claim other
than personal one from another section
can be advanced for the removal of brig
ale headquarters from the Capital City.
1t is honorable and praiseworthy to as
pire to q command, and not one word is
to be said in derogation of the laudable
ambition in other cities desiring the loca-
ton, but we submit that the real reason
moving an appointing power to locate
brigade headquarters should be CEN
trality. rapidity and ease Of commupica-
ton due to centrality and transportation
facilities, and the further fact that the
Capital should not be reduced to 80 low a
level in the National Guard as will result
by other location, and the consequent
breaking up of local commands. until
there will be but two companies OF the
Guard at the Capital.

Ir CANNOT BE STAYED.

The El Dorado Republican argues in
effect that the miner is only aiding ma
ture, as it were; that whether hydraulic
mining ceases or not "the debris Will
come down. Hold hard at that point,
neighbor. Between natural wash. the
action of nature during countless ages.
and the rude disturbance OF the soil by
the hydraulic monitor, with artiflclaliy
applied water to swiftly carry off the
broken up earth, there is difference SO
wide that the mind of man can scarcely
grasp it in contemplation.
A distinguished engineer, who has
studied California conditions for years,
says that is probable that not in all time
has one cubic mile of earth been moved
by artificial means, but that the Sacra-
mento Valley has been formed and filled
during eons of time to the extent OF
eight cubic miles. Yet it is fact that
the hydraulic miner has started and
moved on its way debris sufficient to fill
the vast basin between the mouth of the
Yuba and the mouth of the American
and to the west lowlands many feet deep.
so great has been the artificial disturb
ance of the soil by the hydraulic stream.
Man can adjust himself to natural con-
ditions; nature takes good care of the re-
l. ifvy. Qrfc nf m a
may and do modify the results of natural
activities and forces. but no one can
adapt himself to the artificial condition
created by hydraulic mining; its art is a
modification so radical, violent and swift
that it ia simply impossible to guard
against it permanently. The matter car
ried in suspension by hydraulic mining
waters comes swiftly and directly into
the tributaries of the rivers, and thence
goes to the navigable channels and fills
them. 1t is this matter, which no dam
will stay in it's progress, that does infinite
damage to the rivers and the bottom
lands.
There is not an engineer of distinction.
unpreiudiced and unretained by hy-
draulic miners, who will stake his repu-
tation for capacity to judge, by saying
that it is possible by any sort Of mechani-
cal construction to prevent the flow OF
material radically damaging to the riv-
ers, SO long as artificial disturbance of the
soil by hydraulic mining and its steady
raising of the levels and beds of torrential
streams goes on.

THE BRIGADE HEADQUARTERS.

Wholly irrespective OF who is TO be
Brigadier- General of this brigade; dis
tinctly disavowing any consideration OF
personal preference whatever, but look
ing at the matter solely from the stand
noint of public interest and convenience,
Sacramento should be retained as brigade
headquarters.
The reasons are simple, direct. unde-
niable, namely: From "time immemo-
rial, the Capital of the State has been
brigade headquarters, and it should so
remain, because it is the political resi-
dence of the Commander-in-C Chief and
the Adjutant- General and the seat of po-
litical government. Sacramento is just
as near the center of the brigade territory,
geographically, as can be attained, the
south line being the Tehachapi range and
the north the Oregon boundary. To re-
move headquarters from the Capital Will
disestablish the best signal corps of the
State. Brigade headquarters at the State
Capital is the very best possible point in
the brigade territory for dispatch or con-
centration of troops for any purpose. as
it ia upon the chief navigable river OF the
state. and from it railroad lines radiate
north. south, east, west and northeast.
nth rail connections with those lines to
every part of the State.
To remove the brigade headquarters to
q distant point near one end Of the brig
ade territory will be to violate an essen
tial principle of good administration In
the National Guard. namely-the essen
tial Of centrality for headquarters. Lastly,

AMONG the hydraulic mines in opera
ton in Ell Dorado County there are two
near Placerville, the Black Lock and the
Mitchell claims. They both use brush
dams, but the latter thinks its dams SUI
perior those of the former, because 1t
uses pine boughs while the other uses
manzanita bushes. The claim is seriously
made, but to those who have any concern
for the future of the State on account OF
their interest in the navigable rivers, or
perhaps in riparian lands threatened with
destruction by hydraulic mud and grit.
the distinction is like that between
tweedle-dum and tweedle-dee. In either
case the debris will only be impounded
long enough to accumulate. whether for
only one year or two. Then the mines
will be worked out and aband oned. the
debris to be swept away by the floods.

THE BEST MEDIUMS.

The Los Angeles Times quotes with
commendation an editorial which re-
Gently appeared in the columns of
this paper. in which we called at
tention to the fact that the San
Francisco Call had offered its col
umns free to enterprising points in the
interior for the purpose of presenting the
advantages they offered to settlers. The
Times says that the RECORD UNION s
condemnation Of the write-up system Is
justified, and that its complimentary
mention of the Call is deserved by that
paper It then proceeds to say:
'As we have remarked, the criticism OF
the Sacramento paper on this objection
able system is thoroughly deserved, but
the Times will not permit case OF mod
esty to restrain it from mentioning that
it was regularly pursuing this policy oil
issuing descriptive matter regarding the
sections in which it circulates chiefly, that
is to say, of Southern California, and did
this without money and without price,
MANY wears before the San Francisco Cdtt
changed management"
The Times is right. Its columns have
been freely offered to the enterprislng
communities of Southern California. We
have all along contended that the best
medium for advertising any locality is
the local press. or the metropolitan press
nearest the locality. The immigration
paper has ceased to have value. Papers
published under the titles OF Resources
of California" 1.-THE Western Empire"
ETC., advertising illustrated write-ups OF
various localities. have ceased to have
any particular value. immigration Is
not Influenced by them. The old
maxim, "In vain a snare is set
in sight of any bird" is appll-
cable here. There are not less than
thirty papers published in San Francisco
whose chief source of profit has been the
writing up of interior places, while the
daily papers of that city in times past
have found the write-up industry as one
of their chief sources Of profit. We
know Of an instance where one daily pa
per was paid S10,0 to write up irrigation
in the State; where another was paid
$4,000 to write up the mining industry
of the State. We remember that Red
Bluff paid q San Francisco paper 81. SOC
for one page of write-up concerning its
resources and advantages, and we be-
lieve the people of Red Bluff will bear
out the statement that they never heard
from the publication afterwards. Fifteen
hundred dollars spent on the local press
of Red Bluff would have provoked al
least some response, and the money
would have remained at home.
It will be indeed a happy thing fol
California when public movements like
irrigation, mining. fruit-growing, colo
nization and kindred interests will be re-
lieyed from the obligation Of paying
large sums of money to the metropolitan
press. The Los Angeles Times has, per-
haps, never lost dollar by Its iberality
toward the growing sections OF Southern
California. In fact, it has been vastly the
gamer. Albeit, it ia entitled to due credit
for the wisdom of its policy and the gen
erosity of its purpose.

NOTE AND COMMENT.

We have about reached the conclusion that
if the Benedicts who run the Santa Rosa
Democrat and the Santa Rosa Republican tell
the truth, and are not carried away in their
mature years by the enthusiasm of that floral
festival. Santa Rosa has the loveliest women,
and more of them 10 the square acre, than
auv other locality on this footstool. But just
wait until Sacramento makes up its mind to
make q showing.
The dispatches say that the President is to
write book on political economy and
finance. whereat there is much comment not
complimentary TO the President, the idea be-
ing that he is incompetent for the task
Would il not be common decency TO reserve
Judgment until the book is Quit is not to
appear until after the Presidential term has
expired? Why may not Mr.. Cleveland, ad-
n, ittedly studious man and an observer,
write monograph on political economy that
will repay perusal? We ask again, why not?
Ex-senator Ingalls, says the Republican
marty must take a broad, wise and patriotic
nosition on the money issue. To be sure, and
there is no especial smartness in that ex-
pression. The same may be said OF any party,
and refer to any subject.
The illustrated edition of the Nail OF Wood

views in Yolo, Sacramento and Butte Coun-

The eight pages are filed with papers and
notes concerning the valley and its resources,
and measures that should be adopted to pro-
mote the development of the region. 1t is q

Great Attractions at Maine State Fair.
The Maine State Fair to be seen this
year will require visit extending over
five days.
Childrens' games of all kinds and de-
scription will occupy the first day.
The Grangers' parade will constitute a
leading feature of the fair with tic Al mr.
more wagons and carriages decorated with
farm and orchard products. Nothing of
the kind has ever been attempted in
Maine before and its success is now
assured
Inc floral parade, which was so beauti-
tul last year, will be far more so this.
being moro elaborate in every respect.
The coaching parade, with its novel
carriages, harnesses and trappings, ENG
fish, you know" will call cut thousands.
The so or more horses for this parade will
come entirely from the French coach
stock bred and owned at Mr. J. S. San
born's stock farm, South Poland These
are among the many novel features to be
introduced this year, making each day of
peculiar interest.
The policy Of Secretary Twitchell of
settling each evening with the winners in
the races, pleased the horsemen, and they
promise hearty response in filling the
classes this year
In the field of exhibits nothing is being
neglected and the State fair this year will
break all records The illustrated posters
will go out, this week, and are gems of art
So much for enterprise, and the people of
Maine will respond.
