4 MEDITATIONS EN ROUTE. How the Surplus Has Been Dis posed Of. Creditable Record Mndo by Ilarrlson's Administration—Tho People "Who Dealt With the Mafia in Xcw Or leans —A Question of Citizenship. [Rnsular Correspondence of Record-Union] Sax Francisco, March 25,1891. While crossing the contincnta splendid opportunity is presented for quietly and calmly taking a retrospective view of the late lamented Fifty-first Congress, and its relations with the executive administra tion of the <Jovornment. This past Con gross has very emphatically established this ono important political fact, namely: a majority have the right and power to control legislation regardless of the mi nority—if they so choose. It has also demonstrated another fact, that the peo ple themselves are a safer and more com petent tribunal to appeal to in order to redress alleged legislative wrong-doing, • than for a minority to obstruct useful and •necessary legislation during a session of Congress. Whether the latter lesson will toe heeded by the Republican minority in tfeo next House of Representatives ro- I jiiarns to be determined. SOME ERRONEOUS IMPRESSIONS EX TLAINED. '•* That either party would plunder the treasury, legislate in the interests of mo 'nopoliex, or in any other way act con trary to what is for the best interests of the Government, is the thinnest kind of political debauchery, and wholly un worthy the serious consideration of an average citizen. 1 This fact is illustrated by the simplest . -method of reasoning, namely : All thesti j congressional pigmies as well as the | t dgiants (the former being largely in the ' I majority,) all want to be re-elected—for •l life. A re-election to the average Con l£rossnian is the focus of all his aims, unt il bitions and livelihood. Should lie vote '. for any of the distasteful measures before . mentioned, the candidate on the other i side will surely tell it on him on the .stump, the local press will publish it with large black display heads every day.and the ultimate result is very easy to predict. At best ho is accused of wrong-doing any way and is compelled to run the gant let every two years of having it fraudu lently proven whether guilty or not. The old chesnut about the "soulless corporation," the "bloated bond-holder" and that holy terror the "railroad com pany," are not in the grand larceny busi ness—in fact, it is not yet ascertained ■whether they will be able to secure their 1 legal or equitable rights as human beings, unless the people send to Congress a dif ferent lot of brain tissue than has been 1 the custom of late. History fails to supply a precedent for that great political tnrn-down last fall. . Without ace, bee or trump, the Republi cans aro equitably entitled to a new deal, according to the roles Of '"whist;"'but they do not kick or complain, find nearly all left Washington with a feeling of sublime confidence, or nerve, probably both, that the result of the next Presidential elec tion would be a complete reversal of the verdict. Some prominent French writer said that whenever a new subject was ad vanced the people first denounced it, then examined it, and then adopted it. Whether the result of last fall grew out of tho McKinley bill or Speaker Reed's rul i ings, they seem to regard that election as ' tb" lirst stage of denunciation ; the peo j pie are now examining, and when the ' «'lection comes olf in I>!i2, they have no fears but the final adoption will follow in natural sequence. Such sanguine complacency reminds me of that very accommodating gratifica tion possessed by the average Christian from the "Pennyroyal deestricks." He reconciles himself to every misfit here, through that happy but equally blind consolation of being let in on the'ground floor in the great hereafter. THAT HORRID SURPLUS. It was claimed by tho Democrats that a surplus of about §<jo,(KK),O<K> remained in i tho National Treasury when Mr. Cleve land retired from the Presidency. Xo one Beamed to reason that BOchal&'ge amount as that lyitifj idle in the Govern mental vaults was a damaging menace to commerce and an unbusinesslike shrink ing of the circulation. The McKinley bill has curtailed our revenues about that much, and it is not likely to occur again, unless it is worked up into a political ad vertisement again just before, a Presi dential election. In order that the people may accurately know how that surplus •was utilized and not stolen, the following statements will tell. When the Karing failure in London oc curred, on account of the immediate eon , nection of Wall street, New York, with the London money market, it threatened . this country with commercial disaster. In order to avert that catastrophe and get this unwisely hoarded surplus into use ful occupation, the late Secretary Win dom, on the 17th day of July last, bought $If>,OOO.(XKJ of 4 per cent, bonds. On the 21st day of August *21,000,000 of 4$ par cent, bonds, and on the 3uth of the same month jCti.uOO.OOO more. On theOth day of September $12,000,000 more were invested in purchasing 4 and 6 per cent, bonds. On the 17th $fU,OOU,OOO more. In short, he kept on purchasing . small lots offered from different localities up to November Ist, when the panic ended, making a grand total of 999,000,0001 This method reduced the Government indebtedness just that amount and the :u cumulating interest and prevented a Imaueial crash in this country. Those political "confidence" operators" ' who shall tell in the next campaign, that Mr. Harrison, or his Secretary of the r Treasury, or the McKinley bill", or the i last Congress, or anybody else stole this money out of the Treasury, as has been the custom heretofore, are simply lying to their auditors if they vary this state ment by 10 cents;, or distort the uses - the Government funds were put to in . any other way. There are those, how ever, who like to hoar the other kind of a yarn. This information, it must be nn -4 derstood, is not intended for the edifica tion of that class. It is also well to state while pur suing this line of thought, that the re duction of our revenues through the tarilt" laws in force: the contemplated reduc tions from reciprocity; the increasing pension roll and the naturally increasing Government expenses as we grow larger, will necessarily "demand heavier govern mental appropriations, and whether the Democrats or Republicans are on the "outside." either who attempt to make political capital out of those conditions is simply dishonest. AXOTHF.R DEAD BUBVUJS. Tndrr Mr. Arthur's administration there were deposited in national bank* and other designated convenient deposi- I tnries throughout the country, public funds of the Government yielding no in terest, simply an oj>en account, amount ing to fSJXXMMOL During Mr. Cleveland's administration that sum was increased to !«*iO,ooo.<X«>. Had this latter amount been invested in Government bonds it would have earned $1,000,000 annually, and still been nvail nble as si •.•urity in ease of a panic in the commercial world—but it was not, it re mained in the depositories, and those banks which had it on deposit scooped in that little sum as legitimate part; spoils. There was some little complaint about having so large a reserve fund remaining idle in times of commercial tranquillity but, generally speak ing, everyone, seemed" to think that" everything must be going on all right, because the "rascals' 1 had been '•kicked out." When the election of ISSS announced that Harrison was elected Preside at there was a little effort made to call in some of that money, and when, on the 4th day of March following Mr. Harrison took his scat it had been reduced to 543,573,505. In one year from (hat time Mr. Harrison caused "§17,131,7&: to be called in and invested in Govern ment bonds, yielding an annual income of 5100,000. The remainder, $25,573,800, is considered amply sufficient to remain distributed throughout the United States, and large enough in amount to avert any local job gotten up by the Wall-street patriots. l>uring all the last session of Congress I have never heard the Democrats denounc ing the course pursued by Mr. Harrison's administration about this matter. It was diametrically opposite to the great and hone.-it Cleveland policy. Nor have I no ticed any Republican "newspapers speak approvingly of it. ANOTHER LITTLE TRIFLE. Since Mr. Harrison has been President there lias been collected through the dif ferent sources of public revenue &285, --BSMHB; there has been disbursed during that time $-,305,042,000, and the (iovern ment has not lost one cent. There has also been a reduction in tho cost of col lecting the public revenues. The Demo crats of this Congress have failed to de nounce this little incident also. Possibly their time is preoccupied with the ex ploits of the .Southern State Treasurers during the past two years. There is a genuine crop of rascals who havo to bo kicked out at home. REDUCTION OF THE NATIONAL DEBT. During the time above mentioned the work of reducing the national debt has been going on. Since this administra tion came into power there havo been redeemed as they became due, and pur chased in open market, of bonds not yet due. United States securities of the par value of §228,47:V-00, for which there was JKiid the sum of S'-(i5,.578,G13 26. The excess grows out of the premium on long stand ing bonds. These purchases have re duced the annual interest account by 99,678,169, and realizing a total saving to the Government of $55,352,493, had these bonds remained out until the time they were redeemable. During the lirst two years of Mr. Cleveland's administration, notwithstanding there were outstanding bonds amounting to §1!U,190,5(>0, which had been overdue since 1862, consequently available for immediate redemption at par, yet he only redeemed §141,5.1(5,000. The balance of the money necessary to redeem those over-due bonds, equal to $42,ttG4,20t) and which should have been applied to that purpose and that purpose only according to law, was fraudulently ■ and with intent to deceive held in the national treasury to help make that "sur ! plus" we've hoard so much about, the object being to humbug the people in the ensuing presidential campaign of ls-^. These statements are easily susceptible of proof. If they are false the adminis tration of Mr. Cleveland should have tho beneritjof it. [f trno,howevor,it will show that Air. Cleveland sailed under false colors on more than one occasion. Whatever "monkey business" Con gress may havo indulged in during the past two years, there is this which can be truthfully said of Mr. Harrison's admin j istmtion—for fidelity to tho country, economy in its management and purity of purpose, it stands unexcelled in the annals of American history. There don't appear to be many people trashing over President Harrison* but the foregoing is a brief but true statement of his liscal stewardship up to date. THE BARKUNDIA AFFAIR. There is an exceedingly humorous feature attached to this little Guatemalan controversy, which is entertaining, and might be considered quite Pickwickian., That any of those statesmen while in office should kill, or cause to be exiled, any considerable number of their countrymen out of office, if the Govern ment should change hands with any de gree of frequency there would be an alarming diminution of popular statistics. That those who are "in" should accuse those who are "out" with crime, in try ing to get in by the same methods they gut there themselves, is simply ridiculous. Revolution is the only form of petition that obtains a hearing in those countries and criminal acts of violence are the only means they have of supporting their pe tition. Had Rarnindia, succeeded in his revolt. President Barrillas would have now been shot or living in exile abroad. In those countries the whole political procedure is a dull comedy in the Spanish language, occasionally enlivened by a political assassination. Tho grand total of benefit we get out of that atl'air is: Pa checo has got a nice little job. Commander Reiter, who sat quietly by and allowed a political brigand to be shot on the decks of an American steamship, has got the grand bounce. Mrs. 15ai-rundia will shortly get "soup" in lieu of the million in gold asked for to compensate the murder of her husband. Last, but not least, Mizner, who setup the whole job, got "fired," and then vin dicated on the lloor of Congress by Mc- Kcnna. The State Department has had more trouble about this Central American ! comedy than anybody else, and has be- j come quite wearied with it. I am credibly informed that if this yin- j dicating business don't stop—and that right away—or if it breaks out again in a | new place, the State Department may i throw in a liand-grenade by way of a I starter. The department is ""loaded for bar." The "other side" of that ftrrest nnd murder of liarrundia has not yet been made public. IN NEW ORLEANS. I arrived in New Orleans the morning of tho day on which a public meeting was called for the purpose of considering the failure of the jury to convict tho Italian murderers. 1 met the leaders of the ! movement at the St. Charles,which is the j principal hotel in that city, and listened ' ;to their conversation:?. It was not bom bast, threats of violence or attempt to in cite the crowd to bloodshed, but rather the cairn, dignified consultation of gentle men of wealth, position and character as to what course should lx> adopted to set an example to a criminal element, and discourage their unlawful methods. The telegraph has already advised you of the result of their day's work, and as far as my observation went on the road, it met with the universal approbation of all good citizens, except those who believe in the "Mafia" tactics. When gentlemen occupying tho status above described not only aided that movement by their presence at tho con ; saltation, but participated in the active j work determined upon, no one need in- I quire into its absolute necessity, nor may ' they have any solicitude but that the j work was done in a wise, thorough and i orderly manner. I regret not having re i mafneS to actively participate in their proceedings. I learned that the jury-fixer and the corrupt court officials of New Orleans are approaching slowly the criminal status of San Francisco, but was assured the next step would be in that direction if occa sion demanded it. The so-called "Italian indignation meetings" which have occurred since the New Orleans affair indicate that a large I portion of those people either seem to re ! gard'a foreign power as superior to their j adopted country, or tho regard a foreign ' country a more desirable place to live in. I There is a grave question arising out of j those, meetings, as to whether that class of people are not undesirable as citizens, and whether it would not be advisable to cancel such certificates of naturalization as belong to those, Italians who exhibit such hostility to this Government while claiming its protection.

Equal in All Respects to fe Famous Vaca Valley, Which It Adjoins. 3^* INTEREST ONLY FOR FIVE YEARS AT 7 PER CENT.^ Capay Valley is situated in Yolo County, about 90 miles by rail from San Francisco, and is traversed in its entire length by the Woodland, Capay and Clear Lake Railroad, the distance from Esparto to Rumsey being 21 miles. The Capay Valley Land Company is offering the most fertile lands in this beautiful valley upon terms which enable the purchaser to pay for the land out of its own product, viz: Interest only for five years at 7 per cent. The only condition imposed is, that a reasonable pro portion of the land purchased shall be planted to fruit trees or vines. Land may be bought without this condition on payment of 20 per cent, cash and re maining 80 per cent, at the end of five years, with in terest annually in advance, at 7 per cent. The various tracts owned by the Capay Valley Land Company have been subdivided into 10 and 20-acre lots, which are for sale at prices varying from $50 to Si 50 per acre. Simi lar unimproved land in Vaca Valley has recently been sold at $400 and $500 per acre. These Capay Valley lands are under the most favor able climatic conditions for the prosecution of profitable fruit growing, and the locality has proved itself to be one of the earliest in the State. The grape crop of IS9O from the company's vineyard at Cashmere was picked, i dried and shipped to Chicago and Philadelphia before the Fresno County grapes were ripe. The railroad passes through all of the tracts owned by the Capay Valley Land Company, thus insuring excel lent shipping facilities ; and land may now be purchased in the immediate proximity of either of the following stations : Capay, Cadenasso, Surrey, Guinda, Sauterne, Cashmere or Rumsey. At many of these places fine orchards of the choicest and earliest varieties of peaches and apricots may already j be seen, and during the coming season considerable ad ditional acreage will be planted out. One of the recent sales made by the company was that of the Tancred Tract, containing 600 acres, to a colony association. This tract has been subdivided into forty holdings, all of which will be planted to fruit trees this season. The fine orchards on the Guinda Tract, where 400 acres have been sold, are especially worthy of mention, and it is a significant fact that several of the blocks are owned by successful Vaca Valley fruit-growers, who ex pect to make their earliest shipments from here.

I nir2l-3m R. H. NASOX, Proprietor, ' Too much stress cannot be laid upon the great ad vantage to the fruit-grower of being in early locality. In most cases it makes the difference between success and failure. The industrious orcliardist of Capay Valley may rest assured that he will derive all the benefits gained by the first fruit shipments of the season, and that 20 acres of this rich land, when the trees are in bearing, will yield a handsome and assured income. The Capay Valley Land Company has an agent re siding in the valley, whose duty it is to show the various tracts to land seekers. Four townsites have been laid out in different points in the valley, viz : Esparto, Cadenasso, Guinda and Rumsey. Town lots may now be purchased at reason .able prices and on easy terms. The enterprising and flourishing town of Esparto is situated at the lower end of the valley, and $125,000 worth of substantial buildings have already been erected, including a fine four-story brick hotel, two large brick blocks and waterworks, with pipes laid in the streets, besides extensive warehouses and numerous residences. The town has a postoffice, school-house and a weekly paper, and the fine railroad depot contains telegraph and express offices. Postoffices have alse been established at Guinda and Rumsey. This latter place, situated at the head of the valley, is the present terminus of the railroad. The comfortable little hotel makes excellent j quarters for hunters as well as land-seekers. The advantages enjoyed by the settler in Capay Val ley may be thus concisely summed up : A soil of great fertility, yielding bountifully of every crop. A soil and climate which will ripen all kinds of fruit and vegetables earlier than anywhere else in the State. A climate perfectly adapted to the curing of raisins and drying of fruit without the aid of artificial evaporators. A location that is central and close to markets. Railroad communication which enables shipments to be made quickly and cheaply. Lands which are sold cheaper and on better terms than anywhere else in the State.
