WRONG AND CRIME.

We suppose that everyone has at some
time perceived more or less clearly the
magnitude of the distinction between
wrongs and crimes. Wrongs are being done
continually with impunity so far as the law
is concerned. Crimes are certain conven-
tional breaches of statutory law. Anything
may be made crime by law, but wrongs
are not so artifcially created. They belong
to the very nature of society, and are as
much part of social habits as the custom

THE CHM Sc TREATY.

Once more we are informed that the
principal points of the Chinese treaty are
accessible. If the facts are as stated, the
Commissioners would seem to have nego.
tiated a peculiar kind of undertaking.
The United States, it is alleged, are to be
given full power to legislate on the subject
of Chinese immigration, provided that
Chinese subjects are not to be excluded

CHRISTMAS ESPRIT OF THE TIMES. =
The San Francisco Spirit Of the Times for
the holiday week was a credit to the edi-
tor and publisher. 1t appeared in quarto
form, with an illuminated cover, and con-
sisted of sixty-eight pages. 1t was pro-
fusely illustrated, and contained much
entertaining and useful matter, statistics,
biographical sketches, literary miscellany,
etc. Among the illustrations are to be
specially noticed several views in Sacra-
mento. The paper was very large one,
we'll put up, attractive, and Indicative of
energy and enterprise on the part of the
proprietor.

The fact that the subject of land reform
has taken a strong hold upon the educated
classes in England may possible not possess
so much practical significance as would be
thought. The Tory sentiment is deep
rooted in very extensive section of the
English population, and represents really
the same kind of ignorance which fills the
ranks of our own Democratic party. How
ever strong the arguments of the Govern
ment may be, therefore, it is by no means
certain that it will be able to obtain the
legislation it asks for. No doubt very
much will depend upon the effect upon Ire
land of the proposed coercive policy. Even
Liberals now feel that it is absolutely neces-
sary to restore the authority of the law in
Ireland, and that it is impossible to tolerate
state OF things which is subversive of
all government but that which is an usur-
patton. If therefore the measures
about to be applied should develop
stubborn determination to resist the
constituted authorities, no matter whether
passively or actively, we think it will be
very difficult for the Government to obtain
patient hearing for the new land bill.
1t would probably be felt under such cir
cumstances that nothing remained but the
! suppression of the rebellious spirit in the
sister island, and that all talk of legisls-
ton was inappropriate until this had been
accomplished. The attitude Of the Land
Leaguers in Parliament a. the opening of

Despite the fact that public journals

various frauds which exist and thrive,
yet there remain class SO wrapped up

lied.
Only about three months ago, very
gentecl, well dressed and smooth
tongucd fellow with his hair parted in
the middle, visited portions of this city
with blank containing the names of
numerous household articles which
ladies are familiar with, and requested
his victim to glance over the list at her
leisure and if she found anything
wanted, to write her name opposite the
article the price of which was only 81. In
due time the fellow would call, gather
the lists, name and money, assure the
parties with a smile sweet enough to
melt an iceberg, that he would deliver
the goods Immediately at their doors,
and they need have no uneasiness. But
alas! like the arabs, he packed his tent
and silently stole away, never more to
return.

a Stitch In Time.

The number of incipient fires in the
city lately, all resulting from cracked
chimneys, should be sufficient warning
to property owners and occupants of
houses, to see that further danger from
this cause be obviated by at once max
ing a thorough examination of their
chimneys from bottom to top. The
occupants of the old Father Thompson
house at the corner of Fourth and Jack
son streets were greatly alarmed last
Monday by observing smoke issuing
from behind window and chimney cas-
ings in the house. They thought the
whole house was smouldering volcano,
and sent an alarm to Chief Engineer
Pay who at once went to the scene and
ascertaincd that the chimney was crack
ell from top to bottom on the outside.
Mr.. Pay assured us that the alarm at
the house opposite the Union School
House last Sunday, was caused by de-
fective chimneys, and he suggests the
following common sense plan of avoid
ing being scorched through fault of such
chimneys. First thoroughly examine
old chimneys, and if they are cracked
or damaged in the least, at once repair
them. Second when you build new
chimneys make them larger and plaster
them smoothly on the inside so that nc
rough, ragged projections are left fol
SCOT to accumulate upon and subsequent.
ly catch fire. "a stitch in time Otter
saves nine."

The Wood Traffic.

The shipment of wood from this city
and its tributaries, each winter, il
reaching a point in the traffic line
worthy of special mention.
Although we have not made any very
full investigation, yet even a casual
observation is sufficient to gain an idea
of its importance. Cars are loaded in
the city at the Sioux City and Milwau'
kee depots; at the Sioux City Junction
at Whittaker's crossing; at Rapidan and
Red Jacket. During the present month
of December the Milwaukee road have
carried over 1900 cords, and distributed
it among the settlers of the vast trceless
territory in the western part Of the
State; the Sioux City company have
carried as much more, while the North
western road has supplied those settle
ments along its line in the western part
Of this State and eastern Dakota.
1t is safe to say that at least 5000
cords of wood have been shipped from
this vicinity by the various railroads
within the past month, and yet
those figures are only patching
compared with what was shipped prior
and what will yet be shipped before
spring.

Justice In Belgrade.

Editors Free Press:
On the evening of Nov. 30th, the
seventeen year old son of Jonas Bur.
rell, was sent to the house of Howell
G. Randall, neighbor, to explain the
facts in reference to some i'll reports
which if not contradicted, would tend
to create and engender strife between
the two families, and this Mr.. Burrill
was endeavOring to avert. BE it
known that the boy, not reputed to
be bad boy, is mere lad and not
stout built, while Randall is a large,
stout built, robust man.
The boy did his GRAND, when
Randall seized him, thrust him against
the door, then in rude and cowardly
manner. pushed, threw him and as
Randall admitted himself, kicked
him out, and afterwards choked him
until the prints of his fingers could
be distinctly seen upon the boys
neck a week afterwards. Yet upon
a trial In Justice Court against
Randall. brought by the father of the
boy, for assault and battery, Randall
was acquitted and discharged, as free
from the accusation as an angel in
heaven. But this is justice in Bel
grade.
If this be justice, deliver us from
Belgrade. 1t is no safe place for boys,
when such stalwart men as Randall
are running at large. X.
