disregarded by the republicans. The

What an Englishman Thinks of Ameri-
can People.

He says 'they hurry, they eat quick,
they gulp, they belch, they have stom-
aeh-ache, headache, liver troubles and
bowel complaint; they fret and they
scold, they get cross at nothing and
without cause; they look sallow and hol-
low-eyed; they look hungry and can't
eat; they spit up food, they have wake
full nights. They die early because
they disregard true principles. These
troubles and many others, grow out of
and from torpid liver, and result in dys-
pepsia or indigestion. They can be
cured and have been cured and in every
case with a guarantee that they will be
cured by the use of Doctor Mintie's

CHINA AND JAPAN.

By the steamship City of Peking, which
arrived at San Francisco yesterday, we
have later dates from China and Japan.
CHINA.
From the China Mail we CLEAN the fol-
lowing:
Our Pekin correspondent writes that it
will not be long before Chung How is re-
stored to his former honors. There can be
no doubt that this shows that China will
now amicably settle her difficulty with
Russia, and there will be no war.
The whole tenor OF our latest advices
from Pekin is peacelike. Not only has
Chung How been released, but an Imperial
letter has been sent to the Car in favor of
a peaceful adjustment OF the difficulty. A
great many conflicting rumors, however,
are afloat, and it is hard to know what to
make of them or how far the arguments
publicists base on them are justifable. 1t
is said, for instance, by one Shanghai news
paper, that affairs at Pekin look very dark,
and we may "soon expect to hear of some
thing startling"
A decree has been issued calling on the
various Yamens concerned to decide on a
suitable punishment for the Ministers who
have OF late delayed the transaction of
business. The above decree is somewhat
analogous to the first decree against Chung
How 1t is rumored that Tso has arrived
at Pekin, or is expected there immediate
ly, and that this move is due to his inhu-
ence. 1t is suggested that this remarkable
decree is probably aimed more especially
against Prince Kung than any of the
others.

THE EXAMINER. "

The San Francisco Examiner has ceased
to exist as an evening paper of solid and
sober Bourbon proclivities, and has, in
passing into new hands, reappeared as
morning journal, under Democratic man.
agement and auspices, buS with promise
OF news enterprise which it never knew in
its chrysalis state. II has been moot point
whether Democratic morning newspaper
could hive in San Francisco, and perhaps
the negative of this proposition has been
uncouseiusly based on the fact that no
really enterprising or substantial concern
of the kind has been launched there for
many years. The assumption that Dem
ocrats never read is hardly admissible The
allegation that they do not read Demo.

ing to support journal whica while it
offers them all the news of the day, fur
nishes them in addition with opinions con.
genial to their way OF thinking, remains to
be demonstrated, and the new Examiner
sets out with an evident determination to
solve the problem. Its first issue is
decidedly promising. and as it is said to
have plenty of money it may. with judi
cious management, go far towards settling
this vexed question against the common
theory.

zee oUEs ZOE OF A cHANoE.

The Democrats say that "change" is
needed. Why, And what kind of a
change? When people are doing well,
and in a fair way to do better, no change
is likely to occur TO them which viii not
have the effect of making things worse. At
the present time there is less justification
for change than there has been for many
years, and even if it was desirable the
Democratic party is incapable of introduce
ing it. To-day the country is steadily re-
covering from depression. It's finances are at
last on measurahly sound basis. 1t rejoices
Ia the possession of currency whichisat par
with gold everywhere. The working classes
are no longer cheated and impoverished by a
deprecated money. Prices have been
brought down to the bedrock. Wild spec
ulation has ceased. Values are settled.

The securities of the Government bring .
premium in the money markets of the
world. The public credit was never SO
high. The process of paying off the debt
is being carried on rapidly and success
fully. Production and industry and COM
merce are fourishing. What then is a
change needed for, and why, and of what
nature And above all, what kind OF
change is the Democratic party ca
pable of producing? We can only
judge by its record, and we know
very well where it has always been
found. Every man who fought against the
Union was Democrat. Every man who
tried to prevent resumption was Demo-
crat. Every man who resisted the MAIN
tenance of the public faith was Demo-
crat. Every man who approved the solidi-
fication of the South by force and fraud
was Democrat. Every man who sought
to repeal the federal election laws was a
Democrat. Every man who denounced
the constitutional amendments was Dem
ocrat Every man who advocated the State
Rights doctrine was Democrat. In short
every measure prejudicial to the interests
of the country, whether political or tinan-
ciai, has found its support among the
Democrats At this moment the Demo-
cracy is seeking and making alliances with
the Greenbackers, who aim at putting an
end to specie payments, flooding the coun-
try with fiat paper money, swindling the
public creditors, and involving the nation
in bankruptcy, infamy and incalculable loss
and mischief. This the Democrats do in
the very teeth of their national platform,
which commits them to honest money !"
and ga strict maintenance of the public
faith, State and national. Does
any cane man imagine that change
inaugurated by such party would
be a beneficial one? The Demo-
Gratis again are responsible for the
danger of the Southern claims. Their
friends, allies and clients have designs
upon the national Treasury of the most I'M
exampled kind, and they are under the
thumb of the South. What is it they offer
the country in exchange for its present
prosperity? Mexicanization at the South;
the adoption of fraud as permanent feat.
ure in American politics, and the nullifi-
cation of the constitutional amendments.
In finance, they offer us fat money,
reputation, and the payment OF
rebel claims. They also evince a
passionate desire to fill all the federal
offices, and this is the one change" upon
which they are entirely agreed. They
have in truth no case. No man can coolly
analyze their propositions in the light of
their record without perceiving that they
are incapable of giving the country any
change but change for the worse. :" Let
swell enough alone is wise axiom, but
people would indeed have to be badly in
want of change if they deliberately ex-
changed prosperity for adversely, honor for
dishonor, order for anarchy, free ballot
and fair count for Southern ballot box
stuffing and bulldozing.

THE SAN JOSE MYSTERY.

The other night a young man was walk
ing in San Jose with two ladies, when he
was attacked and suddenly shot by an un-
known man who made his escape As the
young man had nc enemies, the affair puz-
lied everybody. Later, letter was picked
up, stating that the writer had shot the
wrong man that he was looking for per-
son who had been the means OF sending
him to the penitentiary and that he re-
GREETED his blunder. Still later another
citizen was attacked by a man who first
demanded his money, and then shot at him
without waiting fos reply. A scuffle en-
sued, and the robber broke away, but was
finally captured. 1t is thought that he is
the man who shot young Diamond, and it
seems by no means improbable. All the
actions of the man in custody, however,
point to his insanity, and we are inclined
to think that this, and not any deep.laid
plot or revenge, will be found to account
for the alarming events which have so dis
turbed San Jose.

TIE EXPENSES OF THE CARNIVAL

1t appears that, on rough estimate the
expenses of the Authors Carnival in San
Francisco, including private outlay, must
have approached $4,000, while as re-
suit, so far as the charitable factor is con-
cerned, Sd, 600 remains TO be distributed
among the benefcisdes. Certainly it must
be admitted that thus Is a very costly and
circuitous method of raising little money.
The amusement factor, no doubt, occu-
pies an important place in the calculation
and then there is the didactic factor, the
value OF winch is somewhat difficult to APP
praise. \ large number of people have
found active employment for two weeks in
work which has considerably entertained,
and to some extent instructed, the public !;
and besides this, six charities have bene-
flied. to the amount of 81 coo apiece. On
the whole, therefore, it may lie considered
that the game has been worth the candle,
and especially since it may fairly be assumed
that these charities have gained more in
this way than they could have done in any
other. Let US suppose, for example, that
this sum of S24, 900 had been necessary to
their support, and that it had been impos-
sible to hold the Carnival How long
would it have been before they got il in
direct contributions from wealthy people !?
Judging from the ordinary experience OF
such solicitations they would not have o. :
tanned it at all, and therefore it is not really
question whether they should have had
a larger percentage of the expenditures in
thu present case, but whether they were to
have anything at all The success of these
two carnivals has been 50 considerable
that II might perhaps be worth while to
consider whether some entertainment Of
the kind could not be established per-
manently. The annual celebration of
Mardi Gras and the Carnival in Southern
cities, like Memphis and New Orleans,
suggests practical examples of what we
mean. There is no reason why similar
arrangements should not be made in San
Francisco, and these annual festivals, or
whatever they might be called, would not
impIObably prove both entertaining and
useful as well as profitable to the city.
