ABDUL Azlz.-We are afraid the
friends Of monarchicsl system Of
government fail TO do justice TO the
royal virtues of the late lamented
Sultan of Turkey. When he teii his
country was impoverished and lis
debts dishonored. But this thought
ful monarch had millions upon mil
ions slowed away in his cellars. When
be was king there was no department
Of his Empire so well protected As hs
menagerie of wild animals. When
he was deposed be went into scclu>ion
with ''tifty four boat loads of women"
In fact, since the death of the first
gentleman Of Europe, His Reyered
and Gracious Majesty George ".
whose memory Is SO dear 10 the pres
ent royal family that the Queen re-
seated the Greville Memoirs as an af-
froGt, there has been no king who has
shown himself so true q representative
of the royal authority as this Sultan.

TIE CRops.-The weather has con-
tinued propilious for the grain crops
Of our section and throughout the
State, though complaints come from
some quarters that barley and Sonora
wheat have been badly shattered by
the high winds. The hay was less
injured by the late rains than feared
aud there is no room for doubt that
Il e crops of the State will be much
heavier than in any previous year
the chief concern of the farmers being
now The prices they command. Our
harvest in this section has not yet be-
gun, though barley is fast maturing,
and much Of it within the two coming
weeks will be ready for the reaper
TIE usual train of thrashers from
Napa and SOnoma has been moving
through towards the San Joaquin for
the past two weeks, and they are now
in the busiest Of their harvest season
there, while, with continuance Of the
weather we have been having, but lit
tie wheat will be ready for cutting in
this section before the fist Of July

TIE BRAZILIAN EMPEROR certainly
goes about the business Of inspecting
the points of interest on his remarka-
bic tour of observation with a vim
rarel y observable in crowned heads,
and, indeed, not often to be met with
in any walk of life. His Majesty,
during his short time among Us, has
seen mere of America than most
Americans, and from the keennesS of
his mental vision he has doubtless
been enabled to lay by store OF
"reminiscences that will we'll repay

in gathering facts and seeing things
with his own eyes.

BEGIN AT THE BEGINNING.-We some
times think there is a good deal of
cant about q Presidential canvass re-
forming and and purifying the coun-
try. The President has only limited
authority. He can carry out no re-
form unless he has the aid of Con
gress. Thus Grant tried to give US
civil service reform, but the Congress
men would not permit it. The way
10 secure this or any other reform is
for the people to see that the different
districts elect good men TO Congress.
There is where reform will begin.
We give the Presidency too much
importance. We can never have a
good administration until We take
pains TO keep the bummers and strikers
out Of Congress.

CHINESE LABoR.-It has always
been claimed by those who opposed
Chinese labor that it does not pay.
They claim that the same money
paid for Two Cinnamon will more than
pay one white man, and that the
average white man viii DO more work
than the two Cinnamon. The super.
intendent Of the BALD Mountain GRAY
el Mine, which is located at Forest
City, Sierra county, has always been
one Of those who think Cinnamon are
a nuisance. In his mine there are 100
men employed About a year ago
the San Francisco owners sent up
word TO have Chinese worked as an
experiment. The superintendent &C.
lccted sixty out OF band Of 800 labor
ers and started them in. He tried the
whole band one after another TO get
one that could run the car into the
tunnel, which IS four thousand feet IN
length, and fonnd only one who could
do it, and it would lake him twice as
long as II had white man. They
all wanted two men for the job which
one white man always easily perform
ed. 1t was the same way with the
other workmen, and after two months
trial she MoDgo!ians were discharged
and white men put back in their places.
There are no Chinese employed there
any longer, and Forest City is one Of
the most fiourlshing camps In the State
10 day. If other employers will ex>
anime the matter they will find that
they make nothing by hiring Mon
golians instead of their own country
men.-NeUddd transcript.

JAPAN AT THE CENTENNIAL.-It is
likely that the fine display made by
Japan at the centennial has had some
influence over Congress in the disposi-
ton it shows to refund the overplus
Of the indemnity fund paid by the
Empire TO the United States. The
japanese, according to the Philadel-
phia Record, have expended no less
than six hundred thousand dollars on
their part Of the exhibition. They
differ from all other nations in the ex
elusive character of their arrange
ments. Everything employed in their
building is Japanese-woodwork,
nails, hangings and decorations, down
to the most tritiiug detail. Even the
workmen who erected it we're Japan
ese, and the style OF architecture con-
forms exactly with japanese designs.
Their display is said to be beautiful.

FRED DOUGLASS, iu his speech at the late
Cincinnati convention, demanded protection
from the white Southerners, and told the
convention "he wanted to hear them s,y
that the black man should go to the polls,
even if it was necessary to send a soldier be-
hind him" Fred Douglass ought 10 have
learned by this time that unless the black
man is prepared TO stand Up in defense Of bis
rights, he can never hope 10 retain them.
Laws are made to supplement, lot 10 take the
placa nf individual snsTl lsios. The law pre-
supPoses that every man has the capacity to
hold possession Of his privileges Us a citizen,
but if be is not capable OF 50 doing, it cannot

OF the white man, aud We know of no reason

DIsGoRGING.-In the numerous couyic-
tions Of revenue thieves lately had 81 s..
Louis, Milwaukee, and other places, the
terms Of Imprisonment Of the guilty parties
have generally been light. while the fines i'm
posed were heavy. Ia nearly every instance
the offenders are found 10 be rich, making it
presumable that their fortunes were largely
increased by their speculations. The amounts
thus restored, if not II complete reimburse
ment of losses, will equal, and in some cases
exceed, the expenses Of prosecution. When
it is ascertained that the rohteTs are not to be
permitted to enjoy their plunder, there will
be less inducement 10 Gefraud the govern
ment.

The REPUBLICAN PLATFoRN.-o our
fist page We publish the republican pltfOrm
as adopted oy the Cincinnati convntion.
This platform may be summarized rs fol-
lows; The poi5;s On which there isno d.
vision OF Sentiment within the pay are
clearly set forth, willie Others are tuched
upoa 'fith caution. The declara.ie that
the United States is a nation, not = iague,
ives expression to a cardinal principlof the
party. The resolve TO protect ell our itizens
everywhere will meet with no oppeition.
The allusion to our steady progress owaFd
specie payments is somewhat equivcal IN
the light of facts, but the soft-mone wing
Of the party need not object TO this harm
less assumption. It binds the part 10 no
given policy in the future. The slrht re-
ference to civil service reform, reuirinS
that fitness and capacity shall be passports
to Office. did not disturb the eqGnimIty
OF the expectant crowd of cfiice 'eekers.
The resolution recommending a cnstitu-
tional amendment against appropriations tor
schools under sectaIiau control, is 81 echo OF
the doctrines promulgated by both Resident
Grant aud Mr.. Blaine. The platfrm re-
affirms opposition to further grants oiland to
railroad companies, but is silent as to the
policy of endorsing railroad bonds. The
resolution in reference 10 Chinese immigra-
tion was 50 toned down as TO seen hardly
worthy of the debate il provoked. Woman 1
claims to a participation in the government
are declared worthy of respectful c'nsidera-
ton, and the duty of suppressing Pygamy
is reafiirmed Altogether the platform is
little better than mass of glitterig gener-
alitie-, full Of sound and fury, sgnifying
nothing"

SECRETARY Bmsrow nas resigned his seat

Central Pacific, Union Pacific and Texas
Pacific Railroads, the last named purchasing =
tickets for them on some of the intermediate
lines" \ gentleman belonging to ne AS

this statement, and says that if such passes

PARTIES IN SoUTH CARoMNA.-It seems
a little strange TO find the leading democrat
ic paper of South Carolina advocating the
election Of a republican to the executive chair

lain That journal frankly states that i. ad-
vocatcs the election eff Mr.. Chamberlain be-
