switchmen shall receive SO per day, head

discharging thirteen among whom was the
President Of the Union Of the Brotherhood of
Firemen.
Both company and men appear determined
not to give up. Between three and four hun
dred railroad men are congregated here.

Samoa.

The schooner Isabel, from Ap-
ia, Navigation Islands, which
arrived at San Francisco On the
Sth inst, brought among her
passengers McCloud Mamea, Sec
retary of State of Samoa, who
is on his way to Washington to
arrange treaty whereby the
Samoan Islands may be placed
under the protection of the Unit
ed States government. 1t is rep
resented by the passengers of
the Isabel, that the German and
British Consuls resident in the
Islands have been administering
affairs with so high hand that
the natives can no longer stand
the oppression. One Of the pas
sengers has in his possession a
copy of the proclamation of the
British Consul levying a tax of
$4,000 on the natives. Since
this proclamation was issued 9th
er fines, amounting to 100000
more, have been levied, equal to
a tax of S. on each male adult.
1t is represented that the senti-
ment of the natives is almost
unanimously in favor of some
connection with the United
States.
"On the 21st of September an
armed band of men, headed by
an Englishman named Hunt,
made a forcible entrance into the
American consulate at Apia.-
The leader of the band ordered
Mr.. Griffith, the American Con-
sui, to vacate the premises, and,
on his refusing, placed a revolver
to his head and caused him to be
thrust into the street. Hunt
gave the archives of the Consul
late to Captain Wright, an Ameri-
can. The life of the Consul was
threatened by Hunt if the form
er raised the Consular flag
Three or four days after this oc-
cured the French gunboat Seig-
nelay arrived and Consul Griffith
appealed to the Captain, Mr..
Auber, for the protection Of both
the French and American flags,
and an armed escort was sent on
shore to arrest the assailants,
but the parties had not been
found at the latest advices.

It's NAUGHTY, BUT IT'S NICE
Old fogy notions have no place
hereabouts. The idea that HON
OR Is more to be priced than fine
gold, may do very well for the
weak minds Of sentimentalists, o1
whom, however, there are few OF
none in San Francisco. Milk
for babes, but meat for strong
men. 1t is the creed, the abid-
ing faith, the practical religion
here to get money-honestly, if
it will come that way-but to get
money anyhow. 1t may be
naughty, but it's nice. To be
rich is to be flattered, fawned
upon. and pampered. To pos
sess many sheckels Is to own the
wherewith to procure all else.
Sheckels buy places of honor
and trust, and bring to our feet
beauty, fashion, and the smiles
of our so-called society. They
secure silence as to our real
faults, and eulogiums for our i'm
aginary virtues. They clothe us
with fine linen, and enable us to
fare sumptuously every day.
They give us all the virtues OF
lnfallibility, because, being rich,
we can do no wrong. 1t is no
matter how the wealth was OBJ
tanned, its purchasing power is
all the same. Neither priest nor
parson askes whether the contri-
buttons were wrung from the
poor, the needy, the widow, or
the orphan. They only look to
see if it is genuine coin. Steal
ing to grow rich may be naugh-
