The Labor Question in San
Francisco.

Francisco.
Several years ago California want.
ed cheap labor, and Chinese labor be-
ing considered the cheapest that could
be procured, large importations ol
of Celeslials were made; the press
teemed with praises of this species oil
labor, everything was lovely and the
hea,hen Chinese mopolized the labor
of towns and cities and even competed
with white labor on the farms. But
in later years matters have changed.
There seems to be a surplus of labor,
especially in San Francisco. The
white laborers declare that they can
not work at the wnses paid the Chi.
nese, while most of the employers
persist in obtaining labor as cheap
as possible. which is very natural.
Dennis Kearney, Kalloch and a few
other demagogues espoused the cause
of the wOrkingmen succeeded in
having constitutional convention
called, obtained sufficient control OF
the convention to have a clause in.
serted in the constitution prohibiting
the employ ment of Chinese labor, and
by inaamatory speeches, have got the
workingwen worked up to such pitch
of excitement as to endanger the peace
of the city, if not the entire State.
A committee was recently appoint.
ed, which condemned Chinatown to
destruction as a nuisance. This was
approved by the city council. but af-
forwards rescinded still it is said
that. as the committee has full power
to do so. it will proceed to destroy
Chinatown without the approval of
the council.
Excited meetings have been held,
and threats have been made not only
to murder the Chinese but their en-
ployers. Major Kalloch has thus far
been able to prevent violence, by
promising that the c hinese should go
and the unimployed whites be employ.
ed, but it is very uncertain how long
BIO can restrain the mob be has helped
to raise.
Not being in their midst, we can
not say what excuse these labor sgi-
tators may have for their conduct !;
but we can say with certainty that no
circumstances can possibly justify the
lengths to which they threaten to 60.
They have already gone so far that
kukluxism, in its very worst phases,
for which the South was so bitterly
denounced, pales into insigniicance 10
comparison.
We are aware of the fact that capt.
tai often Expresses labor, where labor
is abundant, but labor is also as often
unjust and unreasonable in its de-
mands and thus a continual conflict
between capital and labor is kept up,
that is crippling to industry and dan
gerous to society and unfortunately
there seems to be no remedy. 1t is a
great pity that there Is not. States
manship should be specially directed
to an attempt to solve this problem,
and the man who succeeds will be q
benefactor indeed to the human race.

The Court House Question Again.

AAO OVuAS 1AVuSO XuCSSVA hssHIu'
We were asked by gentleman, the
other day, if we bad ever known OF
lived in community before where
such large majority OF the citizens
were opposed to public improvements
and upon reflection, we were forced to
admit that We never had. Here we
are with a court house hardly fit for q
barn, in which our District Judge
elect informs US that he would not
attempt to hold court in bad weather
an old rotten structure, that is a dis.
grace to tie parish and yet we are
told that majority Of cur citizens
are opposed to building a new cour,
house. We cannot believe this, how.
ever, unless it is proven by vote OF
the people, and would like to see it
tested.
According to the tax rolls, Richland
Is little more than an average parish
in point Of wealth. and yet we have
the poorest "onrt house in the state
the poorest We ever saw. The wealth
Of the parish. compared with parishes
that have good court houses. precluJes
the plea Of proveriy. Hence, we can
urge no plea except want Of public
spirit and penuriousness.
A citizen of Delhi, who will do
what be SAYS, authorizes US to say
that he will give fifty dollars towards
building good court house. His
proposition suggested the idea to US
of trying to get court house built
by subscription. aud in order to put
the bal! in motion, We propose to do
the same. So we have one hundred
dollars towards building the court
house. Who will give two hundred !?
Come, gentlemen. there are many of
you as able to give that much as we
re to give fifty.
We will take down the names and
amounts of ali who are willing to
thus help build good court house for
Kichland. Then when we think we
have raised enough money to build it,
we can hold u meeting, appoint COM
mittee to let out the contract and have
the house built. We are in earnest
about this matter, and want to know
how many public spirited men we
have in the parish-and ladies too, for
the subscription is open to them also.
A very important case, Of interest
to travellers, was decided in the United
States District Court, Judge Billings
presiding, in New Orleans last Satur-
day. The case was this: Two gen.
tlemen left New Orleans together, one
Of them going through to Washington.
and the other to part company with
bin ut Dalton. The first paid the
fare. taking an entire section Of q
Pullman sleeper through to Washing
ton and taking lower berth in an.
other section to Dalton for bis friend.
At Atlanta the conductor demanded
40 extra 50 cents from the Dalton
man for seat in the car. and upon
refusing to pay it was elected from
the car; the conductor stating at the
same time that the fact that the other
man had paid for the entire section
did not entitle him to it.
They both brought suit for damages,
and tho decision last Saturday gave
the Dalton man judgment against the
Pullman Car Company for $1,000.
The Other case is to be tried yet.
This is just decision, which should
teach the Pullman company that trav-
elers have rights. and that they can
not sell person the right to travel 10
their cars and then violently deprive
him OF that right with impunity.

Depredatlons On Government Buildings
Chase In Marsh.
For some months past q gang of young
Thieves, whose headquarters appear to have
been in the region along the old canal, west
of Seventeenth street, have been making dep.
rotations upon the new government buildings
in course of construction, stealing pieces Of
iron, brass and other things which could be
readily sold. At tho state department tho
brass couplings were cut from the
hose used iu watering tho streets,
thus rendering useless the valuable appa.
ratus, while the thieves got for their plundor
which they sold to a brass.founder, the small
sum of fOrty-iour cents. An out.building
on q street, used by the signal corps, was
broken open aud some costly apparatus de.
strOycd. A fine barometer, twenty pounds
of mercury and soma heavy brass flames
were stolen. Detective McDevitt, who was
asked to investigate the case, soon found the
barometer and other stolen property, which
had been broken up and sold rs Old metal. The
apparatus, which cost originally 5000, Melted
the thieves sovcn y-ivo cents. Detective
McDovitt having traced the robbcries TO tho
gang of young thieves mentioned above, on
Saturday, with Officers Kirby aud Dreamer Of
tho fourth precinct made a raid upon the 10.
cality named. They succeeded IN capturing
i've OF the gang-three brothers, named Mel
win, William aud Joe johnson, n young man
named barlas Shlpp anu columbus hennAll,
who Is said TO DO the leader of the baud.
Konnall was also wanted by the police for the
larceny of iron from the state department
last February. viii johnson, when pursued
by Officer Kirby jumped into tho marsh,
hoping to escape in that way. Officer Kirby,
however, jumped in after him, and a ter n
desperate struggle in tho muddy and miry
waters, secured his man. 1t appears that

against tho thieves will result to great
