That's What's the Matter.

What's the matter with the Democracy of
Ell Dorado County? AT their late Conven-
ton they never had word to say about the
Chinese Russian River Flag.
The cause is plain: They have colony
of Mongolians lately settled among them.
They sold them their lands, invited them
there. sent comm mittees to wait upon and es-
cort them to their new home, and euen re-
fused TO permit them in PqcerriHe to 90 to a
fotel, but took them TO their priuate houses.

Who controlled this State at the commence

Such is the record, and we ask all Repub-
licans to CHARGE and FIX the responsible
ity for the presence of the Mongolians in
this country where it properly and hstor-
icaHy belongs-upon the Democracy. They
cannot evade the FACT. Their policy has
left the white miners of the State little else
than bare bed rock and piles of tailings,
while the gold cleaned therefrom has gone
to enrich the Golfers of the Pagan misers of
the Chinese Empire. And to-day, organ
lied companies composed almost exclusively
of Democratic capitalists and land monop-
olists, are preparing to import Coolies into
the South and West by thousands-and if
their operations are not checked by timely
legislation, God only knows what will become
of the poor white men who will have to com.
pete with the Mongolian minons in the la
Dor market.
We are thankful the Republican party
is not in any manner responsible for the
presence of the Cinnamon in the United
States-that its members North and South
ARE arrayng themselves in opposition to
Coolie importation and seridom, and through
the intervention of that powerful organiza-
ton we expect to see Coolieism summariy
banished from the land and Free Labor
crowned in its stead

DRIsrRIcr JuDoE.-By the proceedings
published in this issue it will be seen that
Hon. E. Garter has been renomnated for
Judge of the 9th Judicial District composed
of the counties of Shasta, Trinity and Siski-
you. The Judge is one of the pioneers ofthe
legal profession. and is recognized by MEM
bers of the bar as one of the best judges and
interpre ers of the law that ever sat upon the
bench in this State. One of the highest com
pliments that can lie paid him, is to o-mention
the fact that during his entire career as
Judge of this District, none of his decisions
have been reversed by the Supreme Court
As the Union vote of the district is in excess
OF the Democratic, and as the Judge will run
ahead of his ticket in some quarters, his
ection may be counted among the certain
tias

then make such an admission the chances

The Council.

We have become at last thorough disci Piles
OF the Nj ddn,iruri school. With cor
rupt Governor, venal Legislature, and q
timc-scrving judiciary, We may well have
the City Hall bar-room and the Council
Chamber shooting saloon OF what con-
sequence is it that one Alderman shoots nj
another when, in the words OF Mr.. Lincoln,
there lis "nobody hurt" At all events, it is
more decent TO burn powder, than to bias
phcme and steal.
The present Mayor and Aldermen have
been i'll office about six months. They
fought and wrangled from November TO
Mny, and when tho courts decided in their
favor it was hoped that they would have the
dcccncy to fill their pockets quietly.
Alas! for the vanity Of the hopes OF de-
cent people. The Pillsbury Council tore
down the portraits Of Lee and Jackson
which hung on the walls OF the Council
Chamber, and then, unrestraincd by the
memory of the dead or tho thought OF the
living, pitched discretion to the dogs and
cursed and ravcd their ill. The next move
vas the election Of all the SONS and nephews
and step-sons of the Aldermen and Mayor
to the city offices made vacant for them.
Then came the creation OF new Offices to sat-
isfy the cravings OF The Council and their
friends. Still as the Aldermen settled into
thoir seats and felt the reins of power, they
fell out among themselves and refused TO he
pacilled. Wine and whi,kcy were invoked
to still their angry passions, and the burning
liquors provided in the City Council for the
comfort and delight of the Aldermen were
expected to be as oil upon tho raging waters
of Radicaism. At each meeting of Council
the srog-shop in the ante-room had full
sway and on Thursday night il was intended
to celebrate the passage Of the "pctrolcum
"bill" in bumpers of champagne. The cal
culations of the thirsty Aldermen were do
ranged by the rutlianism OF one of their body,
who amused himself by shooting with an
an army revolver at another Alderman-thc
County Sheriff and his own nephew. This
Alderman, who made himself conspicuous
by his choler and inaccuracy, has from the
first been the most violent member of the
Board. II was he who made Council con-
tcmptible in its first meetings, and he will,
it is presumed, do the same to the last
All that we care for is 10 have il under
stood that the present Council In nowisc
represents the respectable citizens of Charles
ton. The Mayor and Aldermen have the
power to bleed the city as they please, and
will doubtless do il. But they cannot make
us, as themselves, both ridiculous and de-
graded. we looked for nothing better
than what they have given us. And when
we cry out against Pillshury and his Alder
men, wc should always remember that little
excrtion and energy in the elections OF last
November would have saved old Charleston
from all this turmoil and shame.

bid ouch other to obtain work Thus capi-
tai recovers its lost ground, tho labor-rate is
resumed, and tho ringlcaders OF The strike
arc obliged to leave tho country for want of
employment. Such has been the expert
cnce of the English operatives. The vari-
ous combinations, often tumutuous and even
violent, which have sought to fix an nrti-
licial scale Of prices, have proved but q
mere eddy upon the broad, deep stream of
the national prosperity. In all the depart
mcnts OF industry an incxorablc law, the
law of supply and demand, has prevailed
like decree of fate.
Mr.. Buckle calls attention to the fact that
the Revolution in England which eliminated
and collapsed i'm the Protectorate of Crom-
well, was more of an Industrial than II po-
litical riUvemcnt. The like remark may be
made in reference to the French Revolution.
1t is II suggestive circumstance that each of
these national labor-strikes resulted in n
personal government, which crippled labor
and cXiled liberty itself.
In Charleston n strike just now is, MS We
have intimatcd, most unfortunate. AS Adam
Smith has abundantly shown, an increase of
wages is absolutely dependent upon, and
must be in proportion to, the increase of
funds from which TIC payment is to be
drawn. Where the revenues of business
and the stock invested in il are limited, the
wages of the labor employed must of ncccs-
sity be lower than in the wealthy establish
mcnts of n fl0urishing community. To sug-
gest New York prices as u standard for
Charleston is simply prcpostcrous We are
just beginning 10 live; capital is not abun-
dant; the profits OF trade are uncertain;
men of the highest Accomplishment and char
acter are reduced to salaries which satisfy
the ncccssurics of life, but afford little more
The season is not auspicious for u strike
And if il were, might not Captain SlOd,lard
and his obseQuious cohorts OF longshorcmen
prudently and modestly wait-until their
betterS were served?
There were, We doubt not, exceptional
cases of grievance represented in the recent
movcment-cases where wages were not re-
munerative and where the industry needed
special recognition, because it required the
labor OF the brain rs well as the hand 1t
was an unfortunate circumstance, however,
that the most inferior kind Of labor was the
most clamorous in its demands and the
most riotous in its demonstrations; that il
is u Radical League with Ier iical leader
and Radical ward who have presumed,
in the name Of the laboring class, to demand
the control OF the wharycs and shipping of
Charleston. It will not take long to settle
this business.

The Chnrleston Strike.

Within the last few weeks we have had
remarkable and heretofore unprecedented
outcropping of ''strikes" in Charleston. The
longshoremen, the ship carpenters, the house
painters, the tailors, and We know not what
other fractional part of our toiling human
ity, have suspended their work and deman-
ded higher wages. Without pretending to
enter into the merits Of the controversy, and
without even calling tho attention of those
whom it concerns to the simple principle
that proper workman's union is defensive
and not offensive, we must say that we think
the present conflict is most unreasonable.
Tho strike ordinarily is tho resort OF the i'm
poycrished workman against tho thriving
proprietor. In the present instance it has
been prccipitated by knavish politicians.
1t is an attack by labor upon the proprietor
just when he needs every favorable circum-
stance for the re-establishmcnt of busint,
on which, not his support only. hut that OF
his hands depends.
So long as the world endures, We suppose,
the contest between labor and capital must
go on, and with the same varying fortunes
as those which attend the competitions Of
the bulls and bears OF New York. The man
of means will naturally cndeavor to secur- as
large return for his Investments on lis
risks and his losses as he can and tho man
OF muscle will seek to appropriate tho larg-
est proportional share Of the profits which
he has toiled to secure.
In q normal state Of society wo should
have no occasion to deprecate such con-
llict. We might trust in the operation Of
the laws OF political economy, as othor COM
munities do, for the regulation of wages.
This interest has q method Of adjusting itself,
k.if not in accordance with tho highest prin-
ciplcs, at least in such away rs contributes
to the general prosperity and to the wealth u
the State The conflict is unequal, for usually
the employer has some means to full back
upon, while the workman cannot afford to re-
main idle for week or month without incur
ring the danger OF starvation. This Is one of
| the safeguards against tho interruption OF
those general and useful enterprises in which
the, capital OF a'country Is invested. Butif,
as sometimes happens, the laborer triumphs
and secures larger proportion Of wages
than would properly and naturally accrue to
his work, his success invites competition
among his own class. The supply soon be-
comes greater than the demand, and as the
number Of workmen increases they under
