~ to the remark that the 1.-THE
Union thinks the killing OF these
Chinese by the mob in Los Angeles Il
strong argument in favor of investing
them with the right of SUFFRAGE that
is indeed our opinion. We 20 further
- say that if ever the Chinese obtain
the right of suffrage here it will be TO
rive them protection against jR>t such
Internal ignorance and malice as that
inspiring the Los Angeles mob.
The above is from the reply Of the
Union to the Stockton Republican.
The Union adds, THE old bikes
have been broken down, and the
same necessities OF law and order
and good faith on the part Of the
Government which invested the
colored nan with the power Of the
ballot, will have to give it to the
Chinese, if blackguarl5 and muir
Gerers continue to provoke the act"
This is logically true, and doubt
less the time is near at hand when
this consummation will be reached,
il the party in power continues to
Iegislate for the country. The
equality of all races without distinc-
ton Of race and color. constitutes
the cornerstone of the Radical
creed. 1t temporized with the negro
for years before it rave him the bal
lot, and the Chinese follow in the
same line. The Union breathes the
spirit of its party when it declares
that the old dikes have been broken
down" The same necessities which
were urged in the case Of the negro
are in fact equally as pertinent in
the case of the Chinaman. If one
required the protection Of the ballot
so does the other, and as one received
it so Will the other. Outbreaks
like this at Los Angeles are occas-
ionally inevitable III the contac, of
the two races. and they viii be seized
upon to justify NonGolian citizen
ship as were like outrages il the
South. While many Republicans
honestly oppose further extension Of
the ballot to AsiAtics, the Republic
can party as an organization IS
pledged to it by the whole line Of
its acts, declarations, and policy as
strongly as any partyca be pledged
70 anyfuture act. But beyondthese,
H. spirit OF a political organization
afford, a safer indication than all
else Of the natural drift. the newt
able direction, of future legislation.

chicken near by, when a little sister

house and seeing her brother, as she
supposed, about to kill the chicken, call

shooting. The little one had scarcely
spoken, when the lad turned the gun to
bear upon her, and touched the hair

of the rifle told too late of the death that

unfortunate brother became almost a

dear sister had met horrible death at
his hands, burst upon him. The gun
was of course supposed to be empty, by
the lad, he having snapped caps upon it,
lere the fatal shot was fired.

Wool Trade Excitement--Adya
in Raw Material and Fabrics


The continued rise in the prices of
wool and WOODEN goods has caused an
uncommon excitement among dealers.
The rise commenced six or eight weeks
ago, and appears not to have reached its
full extent. The reasons for the ad
vance are said to be the smallness of the
clip this year and last year, the large
demand and consumption in Europe du-
ring the war, and the fact that nearly
