not, we are sorry to say, at the

There was meeting of the Tam
many general committee last night,
but 1t was not q jovial gathering.
The defeated candidates did not re-
spond with enthusiasm to Grady's
sentiment that the offices were
nothing compared with principles.
John Kelly was present, but did
not make speech. 1t was decided
to issue an address to the DemOc-
racy of the United States explain
ing things.
The Express Dem. says there is
enough of the uncertain element
in the vote for State officers to keep
the public mind on stretch that
may be extended to the conclusion
of the State official canvass.

NEW YORK, Nov. THE Times
has q long article on Kearney's Ja-
Goblin Society, wherein it says: In
the foreign gentleman
from Ireland regards foreign gen.
tlemen from China as the out
growth of q p'utocracy which, un.
less radical measures are adopted

Is to be known as "The Jacobin

Of his extensive reading (lor
he can read), has found that there
was somewhere q revolutionary
society known as "The Jacobins."
But is not probable that he knows
where they fioufished, nor why
they were thus named. Never
theless' "Jacobinu has delightful
sound, and it well
with the object of the soci-
ETY., which is avowed to be "to hang
every and any merchant who
should employ Chinese, or in any
way encourage Chinese labor" At
the recent election in California,
out of a total poll of 16l 1924 votes,
SS3 were cast in favor CT Chinese
immigration. The Jacobin Society
of San Francisco will not have
an extensive hanging match. If
the vote above mentioned repre-
sents the actual strength of the
American Chinese element in the
State, Dennis's job will be speedily
performed; and as the men who
favor Chinese immigration are in
q hopeless minority, their resist
ance will not be protracted. When
tyranny is thus summarily dis
patched on the other side of the
continent, let us hope that the
Jacobius will come this way. Our
tyrants also are foreign, but they
do not come from Asia.
