STATE AND COAST ITEMS.

Says the State Journal: "Arthur McEwen
editor of the Virginia Chronicle, called to see
US on Sunday Now who in thunder cares if
he did, Sam Davis called to see US and took
us to church, and we never said a werd about
it, but now We begin to think that we are
sighting ourselves.
Henry Chapman, who killed Section Fore
man Foley. at Hot Springs week ago yester-
day, was examined before magistrate at
Saltwater, Churchill county, last Friday and
acquitted. The evidence showed that the
homicide was justifable, and that Chapman
acted in self-defsnse.
The Times Reciep says that Thomas Las
peyre, Warren Hutton and John Dennis went
what they were hunting for, but the announce
ment is sufficiently startling without making
it mysterious. There was a slight Borean
tint on the sky southwark, on Sunday night;
now We know what it was
IT is reported that the Hussey hoisting
works at Cornucopia were totally destroyed
by fire ON Saturday. 1t seems that the water
is pumped out of the mine three or four times
a week, and it was while the engineer was get
ting up steam that the fire occurred. Some
of the loose brush which was lying near the
engine is supposed to have taken fire, and be-
fore any assistance from town could reach the
spot the entire structure was in flames. II
is not stated how much the machinery was
damaged or whether there was any insurance
upon the property.
iSiLrer State: "Naches yesterday received a
letter from his sister, the Princess Sarah Win
nemucca, who is ROW teaching the Indians at
Yakima Reservation, near Fort Simcoe, Wash
ington Territory, in which she says the Piutes
taken there last Winter, are dying off like
sheep She says that no Indians taken sick
get well, and she wants to get away from
there. She speaks in terms of the high
est praise of Father Wilbur, and says that
some fifty of her people were recently CONVEX
ted and baptised by him. She noticed the
contrast between the treatment of the Indians
at Yakima and Malheur, and says that not an
Indian was ever taught the alphabet at the lat
ter place, while many of them at Yakima are
fluent readers.

AT Louisville, Ky, last week, sale was
made of the j. I'll. Cutter brand, or trade
mark, for whisky. The brand belonged to
the firm of G. p. Norman & Co., and the
sale was under proceedings to dissolve the
firm, Instituted by Milton J. Hardy, of New
York, one of its members The first bid was
for s. 900, and after the auctioneer was three
hours on the stand, and nearly 1000 bids
were made, Charles P. Norman became the
purchaser for SOL $50, Mr.. Hardy being at
the last the competing bidder.
The above item shows the value of name,
and of a trade mark. The celebrated brand
known as "Cutter's' has been established so
long and is so favorably known that $51 200
is not an extravagant price for its use, when
we consider the extent OF the liquor traffic in
the United States 1t is worth more than the
patent for cinchona rubra.

The Memphis Arll1nche has a sensible
article upon the appeals for help which have
been mainly answered by the North, while
there are enough rich men in Tennessee to
care for few thousand sufferers in Memphis.
Suffering always exctes sympathy, and the
North has ever been ready to aid the South
in these cases of visitation, and no doubt
much help has been collected in the South;
but the main support has come from the
North 1t has become fashionable since the
war, to talk of an impoverished South and
the South has taken advantage of it, and
are still willing, when trouble comes to &C
eept all the help sent along; but while many
rich men became poor through the rebellion,
the sources of wealth of the region remained
untouched, and if those Southern States
had been north of Mason and Dixon's line
or constituted part OF France, there would
have been no groan about poverty for ten years
back, aud they would have been able to help
themselves. They would either have APP
piled their own energy or invited capital and
protected it. This scourge has been inaugu-
rated and fed by their own careless, sanitary
regulations, and they are suffering the penalty.
God forbid that we should for a moment try
to discourage charity and christian sympathy,
or take feather out Of Jay Gould's cap; but
we agree with the Avalcnche that there is
wealth enough among the southern planters
and business men to relieve every want of
the few thousands of stricken families.

CHINESE IMMIGRATION.

"San Francisco gives 1874 votes for Chinese
immigration" and that was all out of 81 600
votes. The developments of the Labor De-
preston Committee has probably brought
about this result, or was it the sand lots or
Glsnns Pythias, P. S. Dorneyl Only 1874
in favor of Chinese immigration Surely the
Beechsrs and Talmages and the big journal
istic guns Of New York and Boston, and the
noble army of "W. Cs who officer foreign
missionary societies, have been either luke
w.rm in the work, or their eloquencs has not
been appreciated, or maybe, the people who
have to shoulder the load, know more OF the
heft Of the load than mere lockers on.
At any rate, there was only 1874 votes In favor
of immigration, in all of San Francisco. Is it
prejudice against the race which has produced
this result If so what causes such preJudlcel
Men usually vote for that which is to their
interest-at least they suppose they do. Now
in all that great city were there only lS4 who
are interested in having the Chinese on the
coast The fact is, there is hardly business
man, housekeeper, manufacturer or a
farmer who cannot profit by their presence.
They are cheap, patient and intelligent work
er., and all these men know it, and to vote
for their exclusion is really to vote against
their own interests but outside of all selfish
considerations, every reasoning man knows
that a race like the Chinese, which cannot
become part of our civilization, is not the
element with which to people our soil. OF
what use to the country at large is the tens of
thousands of Chinese who are fattening on
this coast, in case of war In any scheme
involving morals, benevolence, public instruc-
ton or national advancement; of what use is
the Chinaman : He is simply and only in all
these cases, a beast of burden. There is no
affinity, and no possibility of any, between
him and the white man, and he is sure to re-
main Just what he is to-day, for all time to
come, and it is at least gratifying to know
that there was patriotism, and unselfshness
enough at the Bay to only count up 1S4
votes for the yellow plague. We heard once
in anti.war times, old Governor Mcdowell of
Virginia, make an elaborate argument in
favor of slavery, on the ground that it was a
providential scheme of the Almighty for Il e
conversion of the African race, because mis-
sionaries could not live there, and therefore
Mahomet necessarily had to come to the noun
tain. We kind of believed it at the time, and
do not see now any great reason to doubt 1t
but we have no idea that the Chinese were
sent here for that purpose. 1t is more likely
that they were sent on us as were the plaques
of Egypt, for it is doubtful if there is ever
enough of them converted to save Salt Lake
City. There is one thing certain the people
of California do not want them, and object to
be saddled with the burden by people who can
look on safely, and plead Christianity in their
favor.
