An exchange says: The memory Of
the late Jesse James. the intentions al
his widow and the whereabouts Of hin
brother Frank, give.the able Western
reporters opportunities for magnificent
lying that are being magni6cently &C
oepted. The James family have No
chance 1T all in the scramble.
The British steamer CLAIMS Castle,
recently arrived at San Francisco with

of the vessel stated to . Chronicle r.
porter that there were no less than 50, OM
Chinese in Hong Kong awaiting ship
n,ent to that city, and that ships arc b.
ing chartered at enormous sums to
bring them. President Arthur did not
sign the Chinese bill teo soon.
Mr.. McPherson, Of New jersey, has
introduced . bill In the United States
Senate granting the right Of WY 10 .
railroad from New jersey to the Pacific
Coast. It IL understood the enterprise
Il backed by foreign capital to the
amount Of $50, 100000. No subsidy is
asked of Congress. All the projectors
desire is the right Of way. 1t Is said the
enormous profIts Of the railroad monop-

dividends On four times the amount
capital mentioned above.

dispatch to the Post says that The h
expected to have the help Of the power

Ring" This b altogether likely, espe-
cially IN view Of the fact that General
Rsum Wa the Arst and most enthusias-
tic sender Of congratulations to Babcosk
when the latter was not found guilty.
This dispatch seems to have commend

Of men to put down Illicit distilling and
hunt out the whisky thieves.
The Chicago Inter Ocea~ in referring
70 the Garfield funeral expenses says:
1.-THE members Of the sub committee 70
audit the expenses Of the Garfield tuner
a are said to be completely disgusted At
the items which appear in the bill rem
dered. They say It must never zee the
light, ~ the revelation would disgrace
the country at home and abroad. II the
vouchers are never to see the light, then
the public treasury should not be taxed
to pay them. Let the members who ran
up . bill too scandalous to be made pub
lie, put their hands In their pockets and
pay the account Themselves. II they
will not do 80, we insist that the bill
shall Ike given TO the public along with
the names of the membeIs who ate,
drank and caroused, On such a. occa-
sion at public expense"
The Eureka Sc,.tsncl. in an article up
on the ''Test Of Sincerity" observes:
Following upon the heels Of the Repub-
lioan San Jose, two other California |
cities, Gilroy and Stockton, have gone |
Democratic by handsome majorities. |
This 10 the proper thing to do. The
test Of the sincerity Of voters upon the
Chinese question, says the EXAMINER, h
the verdict Of the ballot-box. Talk h

the party controlled BY the Arthur,
t. Hoars, the Edmundses, and such
like. Every Republican victory In C:al-
itornia now will be an Endorsement Of
the vete, and Of the vote Of Republican
Senators for Chinese naturalization.
The only effective way to rsbuke the
