The board OF health of San Francisco are not
going to be content with the abatement of the
nuisance known as Chinatown. They insist
that the Chinese residents shall not be permit
teo 70 herd together In novels In any part Of the
city, out that they shall be required to live
cleanly and In healthy, well-ventilated quarters.
IL THIS plan Is enforced 1t will add so much to
the expense of Chinaman's living that he will,
probably. be compelled 10 exact wages In pro-
portion with other workingmen
The greenbackers In Congress have been on
the watch for weeks, but they are not able to
catch the Speakers eye. Weaver Is tall man,
but the Speaker is always able to look right
over him at the member behind. Financial re-
solutions have no attraction for the optic Of the
Speaker.

AS near a champion as he is likely to get
Admiral Lee seems to have found in the New
York Times. That paper espouses in this dam
aging way his course in refusing to sell to the
Corcoran Gallery, at any price, certain ground
he owns, and which happens to be essential to
the extension of that institution and the estab-
lshment of an Academy OF Fine Arts and School
OF Design:
GAS it does not appear that Admiral Lee re-
fuses the land from any dog i'm he-manger
spirit, how comes 1t that 1t is regarded as an
outrage on his part? Is man to be hectored
into the sale Of real estate at price below what
he considers its value?'
This does not state the facts correctly. Admit
raj Lee is not asked to sell the ground in ques-
ton sat price below what he considers its
value" He has been requested to sell it at
what he considers its value; nothing less Or,
II he does not want to fix the price himself, he
Is asked either to name three Of his own friends
OR three professional real estate dealers to name
Its value, and this price, ,ciM t,renty per cent
added, will be paid, in cash. Neither OF these
things Will he do. He simply refuses, and places
himself in the attitude OF preventing the con-
summation OF purpose which would be of In
ealculable value not only to the city where he
resides, but to the whole country, as well.
The ground needed by the Gallery was not in
herited by Admiral Lee. Neither does it con-
tain homestead or other improvement, which
might endear II by associations OF any kind to
its owner. 1t is not pretended that he proposes
TO improve 1t or to make any other kindred use
OF 1t for the comfort or convenience of himself
or his family, 1t was bought, as he himself has
stated, ION speculation and when an oppor-
tunity occurs to carry out his purpose, and
at the same time confer benefit upon the pub
lie, he sullenly and stubbornly sits down In the
way, and refuses to do anything. If this course
does not indicate a /" dog-in-the-manger-spirit
perhaps our contemporary will explain to les
readers what that spirit is, and how 1t mani
tests itself.

COllJiEN7CATED.

Mr. Editor-If you will publish the
enclosed extract OF a sermon preached
on Sunday last, it may be the means of
persuadlng some to give up this useless,
abominable and wicked habit OF profane
swearing; for surely in the pulpit, by
the press and by personal influence, We
should all unite in trying TO prevent a
sin that has become so common and
bold, that in defiance Of the law, both
of God and man, one cannot walk our
streets without hearing oathes and
curses from men aud boys. II.
"And what shall say of those, who,
brought up under the light of the q ospel,
openly and wantonly profane Co.'s
blessed name who make that name, which
angels utter with such adoring reverence,
the explosives of their frivolous and idle
and obscene talk who use it to add em-
phasis to the hOrrid curses, which they so
layishly pour forth in their senSeless
rage. Think of all the associations amid
which Gods name is thus blasphemously
uttered, the rocking purieuS of vice, the
brothel, the drinking shops, the gaming
houses; think of the name of your own
loved and honorcd father or mother as
thus lightly uttered and AMID SUCH SUR
RoUNDINGS. If you recoil III horror ut
the thought, how ought we to feel at the
name of our Father in Heaven, of our
blessed and adorable Saviour, rs thus be-
ing poured out from the filthy lips OF the
wicked, associated with all that is vile and
unprecedented about in sport or in an
ger. For some sins there may be urged
the eXtenuation of strong passions or ur-
gent motives but here there is no motive
but the reckless wickedness the unpro-
voked hostility of heart at enmity with
God. How in contrast with all this hor-
rible dishonor put upon His blessed name
is that calm and placid and long suffering
and divine PATIENCE with which God
bears with all this insult and mockery
and blasphcmery upon the part of his de-
graded and thankless creatures; still
pouring outupon them the lavish bountics
of His providnece ;still extending TO them
the riches of Ills grace and mercy through
the redemption OF Jesus; still Offering to
them Fathers love, entreLting them to
become sons and daughters of the Lord
God Almighty"

THE LEGISLATURE.

The following receipt is recommend
ell as the best way to get a nomination
for the Legislature.
!. Conceal your opinions; agree with
every body about everything.
2. II any one asks you about the issue
between the railroad and the people,
dodge the question; say that you are in
favor of compelling the corporation to
obey the laws, but dor't suggest any
thing you propose to do. Insinuate
that demagogues are trying 10 stir up
expensive litigation. (Of course this is
nonsense, but it will distract public at
tention) Hint that the railroad has
vested rights which should not be dis
turbed CThis Is mere chat, because no
one wishes to violate any right hereto
fore given to the corporation; all the
people want is to have those rights as
certained and settled; the road sets up
many pretensions which are unfounded
and are ruinous to the material interests
of our State; judicial decision will
compel the corporation to abandon
many of its most pernicious practices.
But while this is so, still as the people
do net pay much attention to theirmost
important public affairs, and as the pa
peers are careful to conceal the facts, it
is comparatively easyto hoodwink voters
on this subject. Again, as men are more
solicitous tor their present individual
profit, than anxious for the general wei
fare You will make all the pensioners
of the road your active partizans, while
very few citizens will take the trouble
to electioneer against you.)
3. Whisper to our machine politicians
that if you are elected you will not do
anything or say anything against their
unfit candidates for the u. 5. Senate.
4. Talk loud and long for party or
ganization; deprecate any split in the
party, because it may elect radical.
cor course, this is nonsense; no Repub-
lican can possibly be elected in Jeffer-
son; we have 1000 democratic votes and
there are not $50 white republicans in
the county. But still, this sort of chaif
will bring to your assistance all the ma
chine politicians)

papers; it will only cost s., and the less
you merit the puff, the. stronger and
more conspicuous it should be. Here
are few samples:

MIR. Jones is the choice ofall the peo-
pie, his experience, talents and extensive
knowledge single him out as the best
man for the Legislature.
The more advertisements like these,
the better; no one expects the circus 10
equal the show bill. 1t is true, those
who know You personally will laugh
heartily to hear you called profoundly
skilled" in the very matters about which
you are most ignorant; bot those who
don't know you, will be deceived and
misled by these advertisements. Yet
of one thing we must caution you;
don't be deceived yourself by these
puffs; recolect, you are not one whit
better qualified for the Legislature than
nine in ten of your neighbors. SO look
wise and keep quiet. JUNlCS.
