DIseUsmEe.-W are really sorry that
our columns do not afford space for the
republication of KeGrney's sand lot
speeches as they appear in the Ctroni-
Gle, but as that paper has considerable
circulation here we trust that all will read
them. Nothing more than Il careful pc
rusal of his incendiary, arrogant and
threatening remarks should be required
to disgust any honorable man with his
leadership. Here is sample from the
Chronicles report Of last Sundays
meeting
Kearney resumed to tell just what they
purposed doing in Bones case. A Com
mittee had been appointed to confer with
the Alameda branch of the party. 'As
soon as that Committee reports, said he,
"we will take the matter in hand. We
will appoint a Convention consisting of
delegates from every part Of the State Of
California. We will take this serious and
delicate matter of Bones in hand. We
will discuss it and our conclusion will be
final. Now mark you. it that man is
going to be hanged, if that man deserves
hanging, if the people of the State Of Cal
fornia decide that lie shall be hanged, by
their representatives in Convention as
sembled, we will do it in the public square
and in open daylight before the rising
sunu

A REWARD Of g., 900 is now offered for
the arrest and conviction ofthe incendi-
aries who fired the winery of Iachman
Il Jacob, on the 9th instant-$500 by the
City Council, $500 by the Underwriters
and 81 900 by the citizens Of Santa Rosa
Mr.. 4. I. Farmer ot that place, who was
here last week informed us that the burn
ing of the winery above mentioned oc-
scurred shortly after the adjournment Of a
Workingmen's meeting, where its de-
struction was openly urged by some of
the speakers, because two Cinnamon we're
employed therein. One Of these China
men. he said, was engaged in doing the
dirty work of the establishment, such as
no white man would like to do. The
winery was q convenience and source of
profit to Santa Rosa, giving them good
market for many tons of grapes that
would otherwise be wasted. We are
glad TO note that the citizens of the place
are aroused to the importance OF arresting
and punishing the incendiaries and hope
they may succeed in capturing them. 1t
Is pity that the men who advise such
unlawful acts cannot also be adequately
punished,

A WELL KNOWN SacrsLnentan, who
had been out with the boy" " until 8
O'Clock in the morning, felt a trife un-
easy as to what his wife would say upon
the subject, and determined to adopt n
little piece OF strategy. lie entered the
house cautiously, noiselessly removed his
boots, and then made his way to their
bed room. He was not so obfusticated
but that he knew it would be dangerous
to attempt to get into bed, so after dis
robing he took ups position by the side
of the baby's cradle and began rocking it
like '49-er. His, wife aroused by the
noise, discovered him, as it was part of
his deep laid scheme that she should,
and called out, Why, what on earth
a-o you doing there ?" "Doing ?" he
replied, keeping the kinks out OF his
tongue by an almost superhuman effort,
" Doing I'm trying to get this baby
asleep She's been crying half an hour
and you've slept through it all |" His
air of righteous indignation was we'll put
on, but it wouldn't do-luck was against
him. I" What doyou mean ?" his better
half sternly responded. - have got
that baby in bed here with me, and she
hasn't cried tonight! When did you
come home Sacramento Record IN

New YORK has dubbed some of its pro-
minent churches with peculiar and anus
ing nicknames. DR.. Hepworth's Church
of the Disciples possessing ten towers,
besides central dome, and numerous
gables, is sometimes called 1.-THE Church
of the Holy Pepper box" just as DR..
Tyng's church has been called "The
Church of the Holy Oil CLOTH" and a
church on Fifth Avenue is known as 1.-The
Church of the Holy Blowers" since an
gels with trumpets stand upon the corners
of the square towers. This is poor way
to sanctify the temples Of the Lord.

JUDGE JOHN c. BuRCH is a prominent
candidate for the Judgeship of the new
Twenty-third District Court established
for this city. He will not win the ap-
pontment without good deal of oppo-
sition. Several leading Democratic law
yers are moving against him on the
ground that he is not qualified by legal
learning and mental aptitude for the
place. Judge Burch, now past the mid
way Of life, but still in robust health, haze
lived in this State more than quarter of
a century, and has filed many Offices
He was once Judge in northern district,
member Of the Legislature, member OF

CHINESE EMIGRATION In tho House
debate on Consular Appropriation bill,
Representative Luttrell said it appeared
from letter written by the American
Consul at Hongkong, that he charges and
receives 81 from each emigrant to the
United States, at which rate, Luttrell
said, the Consul must have received near
ly S4O0, 900. This statement was widely
telegraphed, but it appears that its cor.
reetion, made some days subsequently,
failed Of general publication. Neil Of
Ohio, and Hewitt of New York, showed
that Consul Allen charged 80 cents for
each emigrant, and credited the Govern
ment with only 81 for a certificate, in
which he included all emigrants going on
any vessel; but Consul Bailey, immed-
lately on his arrival as Aliens successor,
abolished this practice, and obtained au-
thority from the State Department to
employ two Inspectors, one q Chnaman
and one an American, and has ever since
charged 25 cents per emigrant, and has
carried every cent TO the credit of the
Government, except what was necessary
10 pay the Inspectors. Neil also stated
that the average number Of Chinese emf
grants to the United States since Bailey
went to Hohgkong has been from 5000 to
10000 per year

ATTACK ON THE ADMINISTRATIONS
A Washington special to the Record
Union says Senator Howes speech in
the Senate attacking the administration,
or rather, as he facetiously termed it,
explaining the reasons why ne has not
given a cordial support to the President S
policy-, attracted very large audience,
but on the whole was much more inter
esting and effective than his auditors ex-
pected. A great portion of it was devot-
ed to the oft repeated and tresome story
of Louisiana affairs, and the attack on
Schurz, though pungent and vigorously
phFased, was entirely Of personal ma.
ture, and by emitting any reference to
his administration of the Interior De-
partmeLt, left it to be inferred that the
Secretary's official record had been found
lnyunerable. 1t seems to be understood
that Howe's speech was designed to draw
forth some defense Of the President, and
to be only the first of IA nHmber of simi-
lar demonstrations, which are intended
to drive the President into the arms of
the Democrats or force hm back into the
ranks Of his former party friends. The
Democratic Senators have determined to
keep silent, and leave the Republicans to
quarrel without giving assistance to either
faction, and if they all adhere to this de-
termination, which is doubtful, the anti
Administration programme will be de-
pfived of most of its anticipated interest
and importance.

THE opponents Of the re-introduction of
the ''dolar of our fathers" says the
Alameda Encindl, lay great stress upon
what they claim to be fact that the new
dollar will be worth only ninety-two cents
and that the middle and poorer classes
must suffer this loss. The 1892 cent"
dollar is a reality now, and the mints
are at work coming them, and now the
question is, who loses the eight cents? The
Graphic, which, by the way, is tho only
great paper in New York that dared set
its face against Wall street, thus answers:
"lf carpenter receives from the Gov
ernment 92 cent silver psce for dollar
and passes 1t upon his butcher for dollar,
and the butcher passes it upon the shoe
maker for dollar. and the shoemaker
passes it upon his landlord for a dollar,
and the landlord passes it upon the State
for taxes, and the State passes it for a
dollar upon mason for work on ths new
state house. and the mason passes it for a
dollar to a merchant for a silk dress for
his wife, and the merchant passes 1t for q
dollar to the custom house officer for
import duties, and the United States
Treasury passes it as a dollar to a soldier,
and the soldier passes it as dollar to the
same carpenter herein before previously
mentioned. We are unable to see who has
lost the 8 cents. Happy thought-perhaps
the loss fell on some man who did not get
it.u

Rich QUARTz.-An immensely rich
quartz ledge has been lately discovered
on the head of Rat Tail gulch, near Churn-
town, and although the groupings are
rich, shaft sunk eight feet on the ledge
reveals body of ore of still greater rich
ness. Rat Tail gulch yielded an immense
amount Of gold dust in early times and
the gold undoubtedly came from toe
quartz ledge above mentioned. The dis
coverers have an elephant on their hands,
but as it comes in the shape of bonanza
they will probably know what to do with
it.-,ShdSta Carrier.
