NsTINCTIVE SYMPATHY WITH LAW
LEssNESS.

The Sandlot Ward Presidents of San
Francisco at their Sunday meeting took
the opportunity to pass resolutions ex-
pressing their sympathy with the Tulare
county squatters, and intimating that if
necessary the Sandlots were prepared to
furnish a contingent for the aid of the
aforesaid squatters in their resistance to
the laws of the country. Thus instinct
lively do the men of the Sandlots sympa-
thize with lawlessness wherever it appears.
They do not know anything about the
merits of the Tulare case. All they un-
derstand is that the squatters have been
defying the process of the United States
Courts. That is quite enough for the
Sandlots. however. They feel themselves
to be at one with all who break the
laws under whatever circumstances, and
they are moved to declare themselves the
allies of the Mussel Slough outlaws with
out further inquiry. The people of San
Francisco would do well to reflect upon
this characteristic trait in their fellow
citizens of the Sandlots, for it betokens a
disposition which is certain to manifest
itself at all times in the same way. 1t
is the inevitable point of view of class
of people who have all their lives been
'sforninst the Government" no matter
what the character of that Government
might be. They are fer the Mussel Slough
squatters simply and solely because the
latter are lawbreakers and rioters.

wHIrTAKEs's DEFENSE.

Cadet Whitaker still insists that he did
not write the note of warning, despite the
unanimous opinion of the five experts. He
suggests that whoever wrote it may have
done so in his tWhittaker's) room, while
he was asleep. and that the imitation OF
his handwriting might have been easily
done, since there were plenty of specimens
of it lying around. But it is by no means
so easy matter to initiate handwriting.
Not one person In thousand can do it
successfully, even with much study, and
experts can detect the closest imitation
very certainly. Had this been an imita-
ton there would have been features about
it which would have distinguished it from
whittaker's own writing, and the experts
would have been able to point out each
difference of this kind. We cannot but
feel that their arguments upon this point,
after so exhaustive an examination OF all
the handwriting submitted to them, is
almost conclusive as to the guilt of Whit
Gaker.

LOGAN'S DEFENSE.

General Logan appears to have thought
it necessary to enter into an elaborate vim
dication of his political position, and es-
pecially to deny all connection with any
such plot to force an Objectionable candi-
date upon the Republican party, as has
been quite freely attributed to Senators
Cameron and Conkling and himself. The
value of this explanation may seem less
when it is pointed out that he does not
deny the main facts of the situation, but
only objects to certain interpretations put
upon them by the press and public. Thus
he admits that he has taken counsel with
Messrs. Cameron and ConLling. He ad-
mits that he is doing all he can to procure
the denomination of Grant. He does not
deny that he has left Washington for the
sole purpose of making Grants fight in
Illinois. Aud as he has now gone to
Springfield in advance of the open
ing of the State Convention, it does
not require to be said that he is there
In order to influence and if possible con-
troll, the Convention. In short, Mr.. Lo-
gan's disclaimer appears to us to be for
the most part irrelevant and sophistical,
and for all the credit it is likely to get with
the people of his own State it might as
well have been omitted. The bargain of
the Senatorial Group is one of those
phenomena which are logically deduced
from experience, and which therefore can
not be denied away at pleasure. The de-
termination of Logan to carry Illinois for
Grant has in less cautious moments been
openly avowed by him and his trusted
friends. The motives of the coalition of
which be is member are too obvious
to be missed. 1t is a bold game in
which these politicians are engaged, and
if it succeeds no doubt they will acquire
greatly increased power from it, But if if
does not succeed it is equally plain that
none of them will ever again be in a posi-
ton to bargain away the votes of their re-
spective States.

RACE DEcIsIoN.-After long time the
Pacific Coast Board of Appeals of the Ma
tional Trotting Association has filed its decis
ion in the matter of the colt race trotted at
Agricultural Park at the last State Fair. 1t
will be recollected that Mabel and Captain
Smith were the only horses entered in the
race, and that prior to its taking place the
former was withdrawn, whereupon Captain
Smith trotted alone one heat, made it in
1891, and Harris Il. Convey flor Leland STAN
ford, who owns the colt demanded the stakes,
forfeits and added money from the State Ag-
ricultural Society. This they refused to pay
him, whereupon he appealed, and the Board
of Appeals, consisting of n. I. Smith, T.W.
Hinchman and Chris. Green, have decided
that the horse Captain Smith is entitled to
his own entrance money and all forfeits and
stakes, together with interest money which
may have accrued, but is not entitled to the
$500 added money.

CONGRESS AND THE UTEs.

1t almost seems as though a fatality at
tended all dealings with the Indians. 1t
is apparently impossible to get Congress
to do anything regarding these people in
good faith, or without such follies and
representations and duplicates as con-
vert intended good into evil. The
treaty with the Utes has taken
a great deal of labor and negotiation to
bring about. The Indian Department has
worked hard and conscientiously upon it.
1t was the only alternative with war
which must cost the country an enormous
sum, and for the prosecution of which the
War Department is by no means prepared.
Yet, knowing all this, and knowing the
Importance of a prompt ratification of the
articles agreed upon, so as to convey to the
Utes an impression that the Government
meant to keep its faith this time,

Congress has shuffled and dallied

Congress has shuffled and dallied
with the matter week after week
until at last the Indians have lost patience
and confidence, and many of their young
men have gone upon the war path. And
thus it may be asserted, as it is asserted,
that Congress is directly responsible for the
late murder of prospectors by Utes. and
that it will be directly responsible for the
Indian war which now appears inevitable.
Had the treaty been ratified when it
was introduced, the probability is that
the Indian Department would have been
enabled to manage the whole matter peace
ably, and that the Utes would have gone
upon their reservation and stayed there
quietly. But Congress had too many
political jobs on its hands, and so it could
not find time for a piece of business
which was to save the country hun
dreds or thousands of lives, and millions of
money. The treaty has been postponed,
and thrust away out of sight, until the
Indians, who do not understand politics,
have naturally concluded that it was aban-
doned, and have returned to their old
habits of aggression and homicide. As
their raids are retaliated upon them by
white men equally careless of the personal
accountability of whatever Indians they
encounter, it is certain that nothing will
be done to prevent the general war whose
foundations have been SO carefully laid at
Washington. And presently the Indian
Department will very likely be taken to
task for having failed to accomplish what
Congress prevented it from doing, and the
old cry that the army alone is fit to deal
with the Indians, will be revived. 1t is a
melancholy and disheartening business
throughout, and the worst of it is that no
influence seems at all capable of mending it.
