A Good Endorsement.

Nothing gives US greater pleasure
than to recognize the fact that the iR-
formation received from Boston to St.
Louis indicates thoroughly that TIL
DEN will be the choice of the Demo-
cracy. When such men as GEORGE
WILLIAM CURTIS, who has always
been consistent Republican of the
most radical stripe, comedies that Mr..
TILDEN will be the hardest man to
beat, we cannot fail to accept such tes-
timony as quite conclusive, and he is
not alone in this sentiment. Many of
the old time leaders of the Republican
party recognize the handwriting on
the wall, and accepting the situation,
wish that Mr.. TILDEN may be the
coming man. The Democracy will
receive large addition to their ranks
from the honest Republicans-and
there are some-if our favorite candi-
date is nominated. Mr.. CURTIS re-
marks that TILDEN is one of the most
accomplished politicians in the coun-
try; sis the one conspicuous Demo-
crat in the country who is known as a
reformer, has at present complete as
tendency in his party in New York;
and his chance for the Presidential
nomination of his own party to-day is
very much better than that of any
other Democrat, and there is no man
in that party for whom dissatisfied
New York Republican could so easily
vote"

majority in the House they discovered
an herculean task before them, and as
in every other extremity they honest
ly and patriotically went about their
legitimate business, simply did their
duty in hasty manner, it Is true, but
the disease demanded immediate treat
ment. 1t is true again that no prob
lem can be solved without system, and
no reform can be attained without a
gradual and calmly digested method
for obtaining remedy. The Democ-
racy during the last four years, taking
the country over, as we'll as in Con-
gress, have done nobly. The organiza-
tion is fast becoming developed in
positive shape, and in view of this fact
our contemporary is correct. There
must be head to everything, and
never before did our party so much
need a discreet leader. We cannot
find fault with the present state of
things, for it is an established fact
that there never was an evil that had
not its remedy. We beg our anxious
friends to let their souls be possessed
of patience. Everything will come
out right in the end. We have plenty
of material to select from.

Wigginton's Railroad Record.

Certain parties who are inimical to
the Southern Pacific Railroad and in
different to the prosperity of Southern
California, are denouncing Congress
man WIGGINToN's course on the
railroad question and using their in
fuence to prevent his nomination for
reelection. This is unfair and un-
just. Mr.. WIGGINToN has acted in
this matter accordance with the
wishes of the great majority of his
constituents. He devoted considera-
Bile time to obtaining information on
railroad issues In this part of the
State and he left for Washington fully
impressed with the fact that the great
dedisiratum ofSouthern California was
aSouthern transcontinental railroad
at the earliest possible moment and
ne was expected to do all in his power
20 hasten the completion of this much
needed thoroughfare, Now we chal-
lenge his opponents and enemies to
point out single act of his that can
be twisted into antagonism to this
wish of his District. He has not de-
voted his energies to the procurment
of the three hundred and fifty million
dollars subsidy to Colonel ScoTT's
Texas Pacific scheme, and it is mat
ter for congratulation that he has not.

The Democracy.

The Colusa Sun Of a recent date re-
marks that "the Democrats in the
National House of Representatives
are badly in want of leader. An
army of invasion had as we'll antici-
pate success without a General-in-
Chief as for political party to expect
to achieve victory without some rec.
ognized leader. While there is genes
rally wisdom in the council of the
many, it is still true that where each
of the many want to do something,
the wisdom of the council is more than
neutralized. In BLAINE the Repub-
licans of the House have an able
leader, and they recognize him as
such; but every Democrat in Congress
seems to think he is the exact man for
a leader, or at least that he is too big
a man to follow. Our members of
Congress seem just now to have the
investigation mania very badly, and
while it is very right and proper in
itself, the Republicans actually seem
to be turning it against the headlong
Democrats" With the most of these
remarks we fully agree. The acquisi-
tion of the strength of the Democrats
in the lower House was not occasioned
by accident, but gained simply by the
expression of popular indignation at
the monstrosity of Radical corruption,
and yet while it is true that under the
impulse of the moment men of how
ever great intelligence may be too inn
petuous in an honest endeavor to cor.
rect an evil, sometimes evils are so
great thata systematic remedy cannot
be Immediately applied. In such cases
we must do the best we can. If man
receives an injury from which he will
bleed to death in ten minutes unless
an immediate remedy is applied we
cannot wait for the presence of sur
geon mile off for the application of a
tourniquet, but will take a piece of
common twine or any other available
appliance to save life. 1t is true that

WASHINGTON, May Ex-senator
Sargent introduced to-day the follow
ing important bill to restrict the EN- ..
igration of Chinese to the United
States
Be it enacted, etc., That no master
of any vessel owned in whole or in
part by citizens of the United States,
or by citizens of any foreign country
shall take on board such vessel at any
port of the Chinese Empire, or a
any other foreign port or place what
ever, any number exceeding ten Chi

est of temperate climate, our friends
in Nevada county are lamenting their
climatic situation. The Grass Valley
Union of the 18th, says that on Mon
day night there was particularly Sc
we're frost there, and some damage has
been done. The thermometer, the
previous morning at o'clock, stood
at 80 degrees above zero-the freezing
point. Ice was formed, but it was
very thin. Some peaches and apples
have been hurt, and grapes in that vi.
cinity have been quite seriously in
jured. The wind was cold and from
the Northwest pretty much all day.
Winter seems to be very fond of the

ALLUDING to the Senator from CAL
ifornia, who mis-represents Nevada,

only has he distinguished himself by
registering his name as from Nevada,
but tells how the Senator's generosity
went further. That paper says: "He
has sent his special car back to US, his
constituents, and with it came All XII,
his confidential Chinaman. This kind
ness has made the Senator very popu-
lar with the masses. Please state the
case entire, in justice to SHARON"

The Fryer Process.

An exchange states that Mr. Robert
Fryer has received intelligence that
his process for reducing ores has been
granted patent in Prussia. In that
country an invention which secures
protection by letters patent must not
only be new but also meritorious.
Most rigid Investigations and exami-
nations are made of inventions sought
to be protected in that kingdom by
men who fully understand the busi-
ness; by men who are theoretically v
versed in the matters to which the in
vention refers. 1t is well known
throughout the world that Prussia has
adopts in working metals who are un-
surpassed in any other country. Re-
ceiving patent from that kingdom,
accompanied as it is with especial re-
marks as to the novelty and efficiency
of Mr.. Fryer's invention, is no small
recon- mmendation.

Sinners Coming to Repentance.

And now comes Senator MITCHELL
of Oregon, and pleading guilty to
former dereliction, gives the Prod
igal SARGENT a word of encourage
ment in his assumed effort at refor-
nation. The arguments of Senator
MITCHELL are stronger than those of
the Senator from California in sup
port of his resolution. 1t is very well
but not consistent. for these gentle
men are both going back on their for
mer record. We are willing to give
credit where credit is due, but we are
often prompted to think that in some
cases the maxim, "Tis never too late
to mendn is M istake. In discussing
the Chinese question the San Fran
cisco Examiner remarks that "It is
impossible for US to understand that it
was the intention of the Creator of us
all that the inferior races of mankind
should drag down those of a higher
order OF being to their own level. The
Radical theorists do so believe, and
| the actions of their party plainly indi-
cate their intention, if not thwarted,
tn practicallv illustrate their views in
that DIRECTION. The threat ofsome of
the radcal journals that if we endeav-
or Z, make the Chinese plague party
,.sue, their party, being in power, will
do nothing for the relief of California
from its blighting effects, does not in
timidate us in the least. The truth of
history must be vindicatad ~Sany haz-
ard. and the Radicals will strive in
vain to escape the verdict of the fu-
ture on this score.o The action of the
Republican party with GoRHAM and
SARGENT at the head of the Republi-
can party have imposed the curse up
on us, and have heretofore preached
the universal fatherhood of God, and
the universal brotherhood of man,
This was a catch phrase for gaining
Radical votes, and at the time it cap
tured the support of many extreme
lists. We do not believe that in the
inception of the movement there ex-
listed a particle of sincerity in the
original promuigators of the doctrine
1t was not love for the Chinese, but
desire for votes on this coast that sug-
gested the idea of the BURLINaAME
treaty. That the Chinese are adroit,
no one can deny, and we find that in
the East one or two educated represent
tatives of the Mongolian race have
been arguing before some of the
humanitarian associations their
admissibility into national fra
ternity on religious ground, alleging
that they believe in God and that their
worship of idols is merely form
that they are but symbolic of the idea
of Deity. Let that go for what it is
worth. We are not opposing the Chi
nese on that account, but from a hu-
manitarian point Of view in regard to
the effect of their presence upon the
welfare of the white man, and their
influence upon the moral as we'll as
the financial condition of the masses.
We do not take this stand from a fac
tious or demagogical view, but as a
matter of protection. We do not
think the matter needs further argu-
ment. Messrs. SARGENT and MITCH
ELL have covered the ground. We
will wait the result of their good ef-
fort, though tardy and, we fear, insin-
cere.
