A DISCRIMINATING ORDER.

The Board of Fire Commissioners of
San Francisco has issued an order 20
the employees of the Fire Department,
forbidding them, under penalty OF dis
missal, from becoming members of
any political convention. The politi-
cal acknowledgements of any class of
American citizens is contrary to the
spirit O flour Government, and although
it may, and doubtless will in this in
stance, effect, in a great measure, the
desirable purpose of preventing the
department from being used as a po-
litical lever by designing politicians,
there is no good reason why the same
rule should not apply to the snbordin-
ates In all branches of the municipal,
county, State or national governments,
whose positions are dependent upon the
appointing power of any man or set OF
men who are elected by the people. II
the principle is correct, it should be
applied to the Police Department, to
Custom House officers, and all APP
pointees under all Of the above named
governments. The members Of the
Fire Department should not be placed
under political restrictions which are
not applied to any other class of public
servants.

The military fever has broken out at

Monday evening for the purpose oil

Earthquakes appear to be getting
into fashion. Two or three slight
shocks were felt at Virginia City last
Saturday forenoon.
Two men, working at the Kelsey
mill i'm Silver City, were arrested last
Saturday for stealing Consolidated Vir
ginia ore. The men were battery feed
ers and had been in the habit OF taking q
few poands of rich ore whenever they
left the mill. When arrested they had
about ten pounds inside their shirts.
Thomas Higgins and James Duffey

We understand, says the Carson
Appedl, that the Brunswick mill has
been shut down thes o two days in con
sequence of the troubles there. This
information is given currency by the
Gold Hill Meas. Whether Superin

this suspension of work or whether il
is due to dissatisfaction among the
hands, We are not informed. Matters
at that mill seem more serious than al
first reported.

GRANT ON WESTERN FRONTIER
Dl1TRAGES.

For weeks tile JOurnais OF tHe couIi-
try have been teeming with accounts
of outrages perpetrated upon the un-
protected people of the Texas frontier
by marauding bands of Mexican cut.
tbroats. Ranches have been robbed,
villages sacked and burned, bands OF
cattle and horses driven off from un-
der the eyes of their helpless owners,
the most atrocious murders commit
ted. and every conceis able species OF
outrage, indignity and insult heaped
upon these defenseless citizens OF
Western Texas. The Governor OF the
State appealed to the General Govern
ment for protection, and his appeal
was tardily responded to by a vague
and indifinite promise that orders
would be issued for a small detach-
ment of troops to repair to the scene
of the depredations. Meanwhile the
people are at the mercy of their bar
barous outragers, and likely to con-
tinue so until the interest of the Adj
ministration at Washington is enlisted
by the demands Of political neces-
sity or policy, which are far
more potent in that quarter than
the appeals of humanity or justice.
For a heartless, indifferent and cold
blooded expression of views upon a
matter which should enlist the heart
felt sympathies of every man, woman
and child in the civilized world, we re-
fer our readers to that portion of to-
days dispatches which relate to the
views of the President upon the SUBJ
ject. He commences by saying that
he had never expressed his views o any
one, not even to the Secretary of State
upon the matter. 1t would have been
far more to the credit of the American
people; to humanity and decency if
he had continued his reticent policy.
He remarks that "Orders have been
given to the military for the protection
OF our citizens" but coolly adds,
"Nothing has yet been DONE" 1t is to
be regretted that the Government is not
cognizant of facts which are patent
to almost every person throughout the
country in regard to the extent of the
outrages committed, and that it had
only received officially the announce
meiit of the arrest of the mail carrier
and burning the p~ostofice near Cor
pus Christi. The President evidently
does not recognize the statement OF
the Governor of Texas as = official"
1t would doubtless be a source of COM
fort to the suffering people of the west
ern frontier to know that Z" Mexico will
soon hear from this Government
through the Department of State" and
that "there will be a consultation with
the Secretary of State upon the sub
ject," but for the trhing circumstance
that in all probability when the
result OF the consultation is made man.
Hest, and the Government is ready to
act, q large proportion of the people to
whom it relates will have passed be-
yond the limits of earthly j%urisdictio 4.

The Connecticut Election.
HARTFORD, April 5.

Grants Views. or Rather the Lack
Of Views On the Texas FrOatier
Outrages.
WASHINGTON, April B.
The President to day stated in rela-
ton to the recent troubles On the Texas
frontier, that he had not expressed his
views to any one, even to the Secre-
tary of State, who, like himself, had
been absent from the city. Orders had
been given to the military for the pro-
lection of our citizens on the frontier,
but nothing else had been done. The
Government vas not yet fully advised
of the extent of the outrages, although
it had been officially informed Of the
arrest of the mail carrier and burning
of the postoflice by the invaders. The
Mexican Government had repeatedly
been reminded Of outrages heretofore
committed by Mexicans upon citizens
OF the United States, both in Mexico
and the United States, and it would
hear from this Government in a short
time concerning those recently
committed through the Department oil
| State. There would be a consultation
| with the Secretary of State on the sub.
ject, and it would probably be brought
to the attention Of the Cabinet. We
must determine hereafter what Is
proper to be done i'm the premises. Hi
could see no reason for apprehension
of war between the two countries, bul
of course no one could tell what there
might be in the future. Nothing, how
ever, would be done by this Govern
ment to provoke such a result.
