land our hopes are for England.
It is the fashion with some people
of the United Gtates to be pleased to
have . chance to side with q nation
or individual against Britain. For
getful of the fact that her people are
our brothers and sisters-forgetfua
OF the fact that our institutions are
the out.growth of her common.law
spirit, and that our sturdiness as dis
played on the battlefield is inherited
from an ancestry that won undying
glory at Crecy and later at Blenheim,
those silly people do but endeavor
to tarnish the reputation of the most
glorious branch-our branch-of the
human family the Anglo-Saxon
What people other than they could
have made such a history? What
have they undertaken that they have
not performed9 And what thing
great or noble, that people might
reasonably undertake have they not
accomplished? England, the little
sea-girt island, has for hundreds of
years formed the vanguard and the
central body of civilization. She
has sought out the mysteries of un-
known seas, torn aside the curtain,
the work and wool of which was the
gloom Of untold ages, and shown to
the world lands and people before
unknown. From within her white
cliffs have come forth the people who
here in the New World have made a
wilderness blossom, and founded an
empire upon principles immutable,
because right. She inaugurated in
Asia an era of advancement-an era
characterized by the continuous de-
velopment of latent capacities of q
probable grand race. She has point
ed with the wand CT progress and
already the light Of the Nineteenth
Century is dispelling the darkness
that from time immemorial has rest
cd upon Africa. Indeed, and in fine,
she has touched no land that she has
not beautiiied; dealt with no people,
oarbarians or SEMI civilized, whom
she has not influenced for good; and
by her energy Us displayed in colon
ization and in commerce, has made
hers the language of the business
world.

What has she done to commend her.

to accede. War commenced, and, in
course of time was ended. What
thenl Then Russia had NO care re-
specting the Christians residing
throughout Turkey, she wanted ter
ritory. She demanded money. In
fact, after the type Of q highwayman,
with presented pistol demanding
money or life, with q determination
to kill in any event, she revealed to
tho world her murderous intentions
toward Turkey. A Conference be-
ing proposed, she gave evidence Of
the fact that she had no care for the
interests Of her faithful ally, Servia.
And still later, oblivious to the fact
that Roumania ct Plevna turned the
even balance and gave her the VIC
tory, and manifesting such unexam-
pied perRdy as will sensibly add to
the sum Of her villainies, she has
threatened tie liberties Of Roumania
by sending thither an army OF occu-
patton.
And yet there are some who side
with Russia against England!
What does England ask Does

The Eastern Question, so called,
has been regarded as one in which
all, or nearly all the powers of
Europe had an interest. Tho treaty
of Paris, to speak of no earlier
treaty, was framed and ratified after
the Crimean war by several Euro
pean powers, among them England
and Russia were party. In it o
was made of the Eastern
Question.
The treaty lately made at San
Stefano by Russia and Turkey, by
its terms virtually abrogates the
Treaty of Paris. Thus two nations
undertake to annul the contract en-
tered into by several-we say two
natious, in truth there is but one
nation, Russia. England demands,
as tho questions covered
by the late treaty are OF interest
to Europe, and in view of the fact
that the treaty of Paris falls If that
of San Stefano stands, that Russia
submit to ON European Conference
the San Stefano treaty Is there
wrong about it Most en-
phatically, No!
But some who ought to know
better, say, "Why did not England
make her objection to Russia's fight
ing Turkey, if she did not intend
TO allow the victor to make its
own terms of peace! The answer
is found in the reason assigned by
Russia for making war on Turkey.
Everybody knows that Russia made
that she entered upon
the war for the sole purpose of
causing Turkey to treat in be-
coming manner her christian subjects.
"Should England and Russia
fight. which will come out aheadw
The England of the Black Prince,
Marlborough and Wellington, is
greater than ever to-day. For more
than one hundred and fifty years
she has brought to successful issue
every war upon the Continent OF
Europe in which she has taken sides.
And should she fight mighty Russia
sin gle-hauded we shall. as one whose
hopes are for England, be sanguine
as TO her success. There is picture

FIRE !
IN CHINATOWN AS USUAL !!
10 BUILDINGS BURNED
LOSS $4,000 INSURANCE $500
THE CHINESE MUST GO!"
FIRE I!
LOSS $4,000 INSURANCE $500
THE CHINESE MUST GO !"

At o'clock this Friday morning a
fire broke out in China town, in the sec
ond house below the Pacific Brewery. -
The entire roof appeared to be in flames
when the alarm was given and the citi-
zens congregated could do nothing ex
cept to continc the fire to the smallest
limit possible. 1t was in the midst of a
nest Of light frame buildings, which burn.
ed like tinder. From the Brewery to the
little house which stands back from the
street, all the buildings were burned
The fire caught in the barn and China
Mason house on the opposite side of
Main street, but by the exertions of citi-
zens it was eXtinguished in that quarter
Good work was done on these buildings
although we think the appearance of town
would have been improved if they could
have burned without endangerng other
property. The Chinese, of whom there
were many standing around, would not
do anything toward putting out the fire,
save their own things, but not the build
ings. Water at the Brewery was con-
venent and saved those premises easily :.
The fire lasted less than an hour. The
losses, as far as we can learn are us fol
lows:
Jane Dibbns, Dwelling House 81 900;
furniture, 81 500 ; Liquors, S400; 6 Chi
ma Houses, $1l0O; Total $4,000; Insur-
ance, $500 in Home Mutual, of California /;
John Blackwell, 3 China Houses $1,000;
Jas Benton, 2 China Houses $40O; Chi
ma Doctor, House, $500. Total loss, So,
800; the only insurance being the 5000
above noted. The Chinese loss is un
known but small.
China town, situated where it is, is an
eyc-sore and disgrace to this community,
and no part of it was more obnoxious
than that which has been burned. La
dies and children are compelled TO pass
there hourly and the stencil, etc, has
been almost intoerable. That the own
ers of the lots, in their greed for gain, will
rebuild and rent to Chinese is more than
probable, but we would suggest to them
that the buildings be put back from the
street 20 or 80 feet, which would in some
measure remove the anxious nuisance
1t would be much better to leave the
ground vacant, however, than to allow
China houses to be again erected in that
quarter at all.

noticeable. AS she passed she reminded
him of the ancient Romans, whose wives

in their carriage-so noble and so
beautiful. Still there was something
lacking. Could beauty need adornment?
Yes. Such an elegant gold quartz set

made her perfection.
