WHAT THEY TALK ABOUT.

The fact that there are several thousand
unemployed laborers needing work is no
justification for their threatening the rich
or those who give employment 30 labor.
By killing such or harming their property
the chances for employment are not in
creased, but on the contrary destroyed. If
the Legislature of the State has passed
law, in conformity with the provisions OF
the Constitution, forbidding interpretations
to employ Mongolians, the unemployed Ia
borers do not by that act become legal
posse to enforce the law, nor have they the
right to dictate to individual members of
the community who they shall engage to
work for them. If the Chinese quarters
are declared a nuisance by legal authority,
it does not at all follow that these self
appointed policemen are the ones to enforce
the Abatement of the nuisance Grass
Valley Union.
In California we lay down the law for
our corporations, increase the expenses of
| the corporations, and then patronize their
most dangerous rivals Surely this is in
| justice of the most iiagrant kind, and can
| but react against ourselves, in closing up
| the Caucasian manufactures and handing
us over more completely to the tender mer-
cies of their rivals. The remedy for this lies
in ourselves wholly. If we want to build up
theseindustries, tohavesteady and remuner-
alive employment furnished to our artisans,
and boys and girls, we must taboo the
Chinese manufacturers altogether and pur-
chase solely from the Caucasian Russian
River Flag.
When it is remembered that the con-
tinued agitation of Kearney and his fol-
lowers has been kept up incessantly, and
that indirect threats against property have
been heard from the sand lot every day,
it is not any wonder that the condition of
things in San Francisco is what it is. The
idea of "strong" government is very I'M
popular with some people, but if it were
only strong -enough to throttle this fell
low and make him stop his threats,
bulldozing and gallows- building, We
should soon hear a different report about
the prosperity of San Francisco and of
California. i Placer Argus.
The only results we anticipate from the
crazy course being pursued by the Work
iugmen of San Francisco is increased
misery for themselves. The incendary
! speeches and parades are putting irmer
check upon public improvements of all
kinds and lessening the demand for labor.
Were Denis Kearney to leave the State
and go away forever it would be godsend
to the deluded persons who constitute his
rank and file, and by giving him follow
ing thereby give him power to work in
jury upon themselves. II Healdsburg En-
terprise.
Can it be possible that San Francisco is
the same city which so steadily indicated
itself from the encroachments of the enc
mics of civilization which infested it in
1856? 1t is fine condition of affairs that
a great city, and indeed the whole coast,
should be standing with mouths wide open
witnessing the insane antics of a half
fanatic, half scoundrel and thorough DEM
agogue like Denis Kearney, while their
business is being ruined.-[ Bodie Free

Ii each individual Workingman would
let kearney go to the devil, where he be-
longs, and strike out for himself, resolved
to accept the first job that offered, and
prove his faithfulness by sticking to it I'M
til he could do better, he would lind in his
laudable efforts the sympathy and aid of
every good man; confidence would soon
be restored, and better times would soon
come to ALL Placer Herald.
1t has come to pretty pass in this free
country of ours when such low down speci-
mems of humanity as this fellow kearney
and his sand-lot crowd set themselves up
as dietators to compel in others obedience
to law, when they themselves are self
confessed violators of our highest organic
act Petaluma Argus.
The Eureka Sentinel calls attention to
two laws of Nevada preventing the impor-
tation of Chinese into that State, and which
prevents corporations from employing Chi
nese in Nevada, and warns the Virg mia
AID Truckee Railroad not to bring Chinese
to build the Bodie road
The California Independent demands
that Mayor Kalloch of San Francisco be
impeached for incendiary and revolutionary
harangues.
