EDITOR CHIEF
The managers Of the CLAW and Or
der league" have departed from the
,plan laid down by DIR. Crosby. and
are making raids on the fashionable
drinking places. Last week all the
big hotels and restaurants were as
saulted, and their proprietors re-
Quired to answer. 1t was an aston
Usher on these people. The great ho-
tells had favored the movement upon
the rum mills, but the idea that their
places would ever be interfercd with
never entered their heads. Therefore
when officers entered and shut them
up, and when they were called upon to
answer, their indignation was'beyond
telling. 1t doesn't make any differ
ence, however, with them. Guests
simply order drinks to their rooms,
and there is room in which liquor
can be had, served by an irresponsi-
BILE party, and without making the
hotel liable. The little doggery can
not do this, for it never has but one
room, and its trade must necessarily
be open and without cover. DR..
Crosby was right. OF course it isn't
logical to squelch Tim Rafferty, and
let the Fifth Avenue go on, but it
happens to be the case that Tim Raj
ferty can be squelched, while 10 law
that can be made can prevent the
Fifth Avenue from selling liquor.
And it has the further reason that the
people WHO drink at the Fifth Ave
nue. are less injured than those who
swallow Rafferty's poison. Rafferty,
actually takes the bread out of the
mouthssof women and children-the
swells at the Fifth Avenue, it is true,
kill themselves, but is the world any
the worse for it If liquor can be
kept from the laborers great point
is inade-by arraying the swells
against the movement, big risk is
taken that it will fail entirely. At
the Astor last Sunday, regular
drinker at that bar found it closed
Step into No. g." whispered the at

Thank Heaven the courts of New
York can no longer be said to favor
rich swindlers while they are severe
upon lesser ones. The respectable
life insurance fraud is now upon the
same level with the sawdust swim

Can't Understand It.

The Cambridge Chronicle continues to
be pleased with our sketches of the news
papers OF this county, but seems unable to
comprehend how u man can have been
Democrat and not have been in favor OF
slavery land the Chronicle also seems aston
ished at the fair and liberal remarks we
made regarding Waites Liberty Banner
and the early abolitionists, speaking OF
them as
1.-THE utterances OF an extreme and lifelong
Democrat who has belonged TO the most intense
sOuthern sysmpathZing and copDerhead wing of

ents OF Calhoun and Davis and South Carolina
Butler, and above ali hates hates and despses "the

The Chronicle is not mistaken in the
fact that we have been always Demo.

several other things.
!. We never had any more sympathy
with the people in the south than with
the people in the north.
2. We were never what was called q

4. WeInever hated" or "despised thu

remember Of circulating tracts to show the
right of congress to abolish slavery in the
District of Columbia before we attained
our majority. Our letters from the coas
of Africa to the New York Herald show
that we did not "despise the niger" (tC
use the Chronicles quotation again or
the contrary we regarded him as a human
being, like ourselves bound to a future

The difficulty with the Chronicle is tina
it cant understand how a man who ha(

states on the slavery question and no

The House organizatio

If a special session of congress shall be
decided necessary, as is now probable, the
organization of the new house will become a
matter of lively interest-and right here
comes in for the benefit of the Democrats a
rule which the Republicans in their day
adopted solely for their own benefit. We re-
fer to the rule giving tie clerk of the pre-
ceLing house very large discretion in
making up the list of memb ers, with power
to leave all contested seats off the roll.
The former Republican clerk, Mcpherson,
was in the habit OF exercising this
discretion in the interest of his party by
deciding all points in the organization pro
ceedings as his party intended he should
decide them. By following the same rule
the Democratic majority n the new house
will be from 10 to 2O-enough for al
practical purposes. The new congress will
probably be called to meet on the 4th o
June

not until the white laborers refused the
work was it given to the unfortunate men
who have been made the objects OF lDhu-
man vengeance.
Had this wholesale assassination occur
ed in Louisiana instead OF California, and
had the victims been black men instead Of
vellow. a howl would have been heard
from every Northern state and the admin
istration would have been called upon to
exert all its power for the detection and
punishment o. the assassiDs. Little has
been said and nothing done in the case as
it stands. The blood of these butchered
men cries from the ground. and cries in
vain. Not a whisper is heard, not a
hand is raised in protest against a deed
that is burning disgrace to the American
government and the American people.
For this is no ordinary murder. 1t is the
legitimate result of popular prejudice and
popular indifference. These FIVE China
men were killed simply because they were
Cinnamon. and because it is safe to kill
Cinnamon in California, We doubt
whether any sheriff would dare to arrest
the lnurderers if they were pointed out to
him, and we are quite certain that no jury
could be found to convict them. This is
lamentable condition of affairs. but it is
as true as it is lamentable. Now what
are VIC going to do about it?
1t was long standing reproach to the
national character that there was one sec
ton of the union where negro had nc
rights a white man was bound to respect.
That reprOach has been exchanged for
another. On the Pacific coast the mem
bers Of a race as much above the African
as the African is above the gorilla are
actually denied the right to live and work
This is no exaggeration 1t is simple
solemn, shameful fact; and yet the fac
excites little attention and less comment.
One of two things the federal government
ought to do at once: Either abrogate its ex
listing treaty with China and order every
Chinaman out of the country forthwith Oh
else employ all its authority and all it,
force for the protection of these people
1t is an unspeakable outrage upon law
justice aud humanity to allow the anti
Chinese crusade to go on as it is now going

which will reach and cure the disease, lie
