We observe with appreciation that the
great banquet which tho silver mine magnates
of San FraDcisco recently gave TO Senator
SHARON, though rather. barbarian In the costly
Gorgeousness OF its accessories, was yet credit
ably civilized In point Of culinary art aud
refinement. We regret, however. that we
are obliged to qualify our applause by the
statement that there was ssome incoDeruity
In tho order OF this courses, and that the
exhibition OF wines was ostentatious, exzgaera-
tod, and unscientinc. To corro5orate THIS prop
osition we herewith reproduce the menu, not as

The Chinese on the Pacific coast and in
the territories OF the Rocky Mountains are IN
Producing the practice of opium smoking among
the American miners. The restless miners and
spectators, when overwrought by excitement,
find oblivion IN the habit. We have heard OF d
good many Americans out there making expert
ments In the opium habit, but, so far as we have
noticed, they generally express themselves dts
gusted with the result. There Is little danger Of
opium intoxication superseding liquor drunken
ness as a national vice. The conditions OF West
ern life, and the temperament OF the people,
are unfavoranle 10 any such change. A passive
race, fond Of revery like the Chinese, are much
more easily brought under the seductlons u
opium smoking than full-blooded, impetuous,
yerace, like the Americans, who are more
apt to enjoy the frenzy induced by the drinking

We fear that some of our contemporaries
on the other side Of the continent occasionally
GLOW their preiudices to color their narratives
OF events. For instance, Senator SHARON
recently made a visit from his home In Cufor-
MIA 20 Nevada, the State which he represents IN
tho United States Senate; out from the ac-
counts OF his reception given In the Virginia
CITY newspapers, II Is utterly impossible 10 gain
an accurate impression regarding his welcome
at that point. The Chronicle bewails the scurvy
manner In which the Senator was received, and
severely condemns the parsimony which pre-.
vented the collection OF few hundred poor and
deserving men at a dollar head to gather about
his car and cheer him with patriotic fervor. in-
stead OF permitting Mr.. SHARON TO walk alone
through the siush and mud. The Virginia En-
terpTfse on the other hand, denounces the
Chronicles account nf the Senator'S reception

The representatives of the Centennial
Exhibition In Congress ould appear to lose n 0
opportunity Of creating In the public mind a
prejudice against the enterprise. The under
hand ways pursued In getting a formal recognl-
tion OF the project under a distinct pledge that
the United States should not be expected to a.
sumo any financial responsibility in the affair,
and then making that recognition the basis for a
peremptory demand for a subsidy, dsanected
many people who were disposed to look fayora-
bly, upon the exhibition itself. Tho deadhead
excursion of the President and Congress to Phil
adelphia, and the free lunch provided there by
the Centennial managers, though II may have
had favorable influence upon Congress, was
regarded as scandal by the majority OF tx
PAYERS. And now, after having got an apprupri-
alton Of a million and a half from the public
funds, when IL is found that a question arises Us
TO whether the terms under which the subsidy
was granted are as favorable to the Govern
ment 40 was supposed-when II seems doubtful
whether the provision making the Government
preferred creditor can be enforced, Mr. KEEL
LEY Of PENNSYLVANIA, who has been persistent
In his eudeavOrs 10 get Government aid for the
affair, chuckes over the supposed effect OF the
misapprehension, and sarcastloally remarks
that Congress has given the Centennial board
more than 1t asked for If the trlckery which
has been resorted to in Washington in behalf Of
this show should DO paralleled Ia its manage
ment In Philadelphia, the result will be exceed
ingly unfortunate for all concerned.

In the Convention Of 1887, and in the
State conventions to consider the Consti-
tuition, such patriots as Patrick Henry
opposed its adoption, preferring the old
Articles of Confederation. They feared
the one man power in the President,
who was commander-in.chief of the
army and navy, and whose appointees
all over the country, numbering thou
sands, would, in the hands OF bad and
ambitious man, endanger the liberties of
the country. They feared such a man
might continue his power in spite of the

The villainies in Florida and Louisiana
are not surprising. No one need be sur
prised at the lawless deeds of burglars
and thieves. In this whole business a
Cabinet minister was prime mover, a
President an active agent, and the entire
Administration cooperating. We are
glad to see the South disappoint our enc.
mics by keeping patience and preserv.
ing peace. The Northern people are
oyerwhe mingly in favor of the right,
and in due time will take the RESPONSE
bility of decision and of action. There
cannot be, and will not be, tame SUBJ
mission to fragrant wrong. We doubt
not that the proper remedies of peaceful
law will ultimately confirm the plain de-
crees of the people, in giving Tilden and
Hendricks some 100000 of majority.

THE cONSPIRACY

OF the Republican headers at Washing
ton to manipulate South Caro- ina, Lou
isiana and Florida 80 as to count Hayes
in aud count Tilden out, has been ma
king progress, as the Grants, Shermans,
Mortons & Co., imagine. Their Boards
announce that Hayes has the majority in
these three States, and the Republican
Electors, as did the Democratic Electors,
met Wednesday, last week, and voted
for Hayes and Tlden respectively, so
that Congress will have two returns
from each of these States.
The force fraud game will not win in
this case. The voice Of che People by
over quarter of million Of majority
is for Tiden, and he is not to be defraud-
ed. The House starts out right in send
ing committees to each Of these States,
to investigate and report, that Congress
may act understandingly. That they will
act as becomes men and American free
men, worthy of those ofa hundred years
go, we have no doubt, The people want
nothing but what is right, and will sub
mit to nothing wrong, The people and
the law must be respected, Fraud and
bayonet rule cannot win, and VIC caLnot
doubt hat Congress will nobly vindicate
Truth, Justice and the Constitution.
