In San Francisco, under the ministration
of such sleek broadcloth rogues and impudent
varlets as Dickens speaks Of there has been
enough of agitation among the workingmen,
| from time to time to breed and spawn just
such vagabonds and vaporing tramps as this
fellow kearney who is soaring the Vigilantes
out Of their propriety and making Andy Bry-
ant forget that in his position of Democratic
Anti Coolie Mayor he is a glorifed rumseler
and magnifed poker sharp and jobber of
pools and corners on the race-course. Time
was, when to get Office, (Which he didn't get),
a no less aristocratical person than Archibald
Peachy made an Anti Coolie speech i'll San
Francisco, Once upon time Frank Plxley
mounted crockery crate and initiating a
crockery crater, belched forth small volcanic
mass of turgid scoria anent the Cinnamon.
He would burn the mail steamships at their
wharves, he beloved, if they did not stop
this traffic in Coolies. And now his paper,
the ArgOnaut, unwilling to reap the whirl-
wind which has come up as the inevitable
crop from the seeds sowed out of windbags
like himself, lampoons and cartoons poor
Kearney even to the extent of picturing Andy
Bryant standing over him with slave drivers
whip in his hand, and compelling the peace.
A few days ago this same Pixley, attempting
to ride rough shod where he had better have
walked was struck in the head by an angry
workingman and felled to the ground. They
who live by the sword shall perish by the
sword We know but little difference be-
tween mob in broadcloth and a mob in rags.
Certainly We have no sympathy with either.
The broadcloth of San Francisco set the ex-
ample to her less decently clad rioters when
it resolved itself into the vigilance committee
of 1856. 1t has sanctioned riot from its every
rostrum ever since. Last Fall, when the Nigi-
lantes reorganized to protect their ware
houses against the Suls Culottes they seemed
to be doing Well enough; and no doubt their
action as an auxiliary to the police force was
timely and beneficial. Bat regiment of
United States troops under cool, temperate
officers would have been a wide world better,
more efficient and less dangerous in the line
of precedent. 1t is a wretched old maxim
that you must set a thief to catch a thief 1t
is Just as falacious to set a mob to catch
mob. As to Kearney, the bIathering bc5gar
should be set i'll the stocks, pat on the chain
gang, or sent to BedIam, Ii the California
Legislature had grain o. courage it would
speedily enact an effective Law against all
kinds and degrees Of riots and rioters.
When the workingmen of San Francisco
paraded their force last fall, the admirable
order observed was a rebuke to the merry GUS
merchants and bankers who were vain and |
weak enough to believe that themselves were
needed to stand between the workingmen and |
he sacling of the city
And now d word regarding the action taken
~ the miners of Storey County in relation to
he fighters employed by the Alta and JUS
ice mining comanies: Nothing could better
llustrace the truth of what Dickens says than
What those sturdy, determined, self-respect-
I'll, God-fearing miners did on that triumph
mt day. By that act of courage, forethought
nd resolution they did more to put their
rights upon solid, enduring, tenable basis
han everything else ever done under the
auction of their organization They shamed
he law and quelled lawlessness. Never was
nythiny better or more bravelv done Let
hose brawny, strong, helpful men be led
nto no act which shall soil the splendor of
his noble achievement. Let the Miners
