HONEYMOON HOTEL CLERKS.
A Proposition That Governor Stanford
Has Under Consideration.

Ban Francisco Paperl
"Governor Stanford" Intercepted
Bixler in breathless manner, "we
must have honeymoon clerk"
"a what?"
"a honeymoon clerk down to the
hotel, Monterey, you know. You see,
there's brides comm every day. Dead
loads of brides, lavender brides, Mil
pitas brides, Siskiyou brides, all kinds
and colors and previous conditions,
and Schoenwald's no good"
"Why?"
'sHe don't understand brides; don't
catch on to their feelins'. Some of
'em are scairt; new thing, you know;
want to go home to their mothers;
need man to soothe 'em; kinder talk
to 'em and make things agreeable"
The Governor looked thoughtful.
"There was a case the other night
Oakland bride. They found the
groom out on the veranda at two in
the mornin' cussin' and smashin'
things. Bride had locked the door.
Said she couldn't trust him. Had
Schoenwald and two bell boys argu-
ing with her for two hours through
the door, and then wouldn't let him
in"

"Nother case. San Pablo. Didn't

NOT MUCH OF AN EXAMPLE.

We are afraid that Italian politicians do
not study American progress very closely,
for during a debate on the French Com
mercial treaty in the Italian Chamber of
Deputies the other day, Signor Blanca ex.
pressed the opinion that European CON-
bination would soon be necessary to make
headway against American importations,
and that in this way the United States
would force Europe to disband its stand
"ing armies, which would be the means of
"giving back to agriculture and manufact-
lures stalwart men now shut up in mill
"tary barracks" Would that this vision
had been founded on fact But alas We
who know the dismal truth are too sadly
aware that Europe will need no combina-
ton to make headway against American
importations while American statesmen and
voters sustain that imbecile fiscal policy
which shuts her manufactures out of every
foreign market. Europe has nothing to
apprehend on that head as long as Protec-
tion continues to be the American policy.
We shall do nothing to solve the problem
of the great standing armies during the ex.
istence of our Tariff. That potent strangu-
lator of our foreign commerce will operate
as England's most powerful ally, and her

goods abroad, and give premiums for foreign
supremacy in commerce. Signor Blanca

present conditions hurt anybody. The

policy are of course in an equally bad
plight. England finds it as easy to beat
them in trade as us. She goes on extend.
ing her commercial empire while our poll
ticians undertake to demonstrate that
protection to home industry is the one
great wellspring of national prosperity.
Should enlightenment come to Congress,
and the tariff be abolished, the situation
would quickly change. 1t would then indeed
become possible for the United States to
force Europe into disbanding her gigantic
military establishments, and an era of
commercial rivalry would be inaugurated,
fraught with the greatest benefits to the
whole world. But at present there is very
little hope of such change. Congress is
still in "the bonds of iniquity as regards
Free Trade, and the Republican party,
while boasting of its superior intelligence
and its advanced views, clings in this in.
stance to a policy whose crudeness and
fallacy put it almost on level, intellec-
tually and morally speaking, with Slavery.

TIE CIVILIZATION OF CHINA.

The prevailing ideas concerning the
civilization OF China are very vague and
misleading. 1t seems to have become the
orthodox belief in this respect that the
Chinese people are very much more ad-
vanced than the masses Of other countries.
Even so intelligent journal as the Nation,
appears to hold this view, for it talks
about the Republican party forcing the
Southern whites to admit the negroes to
Z" a share in the Government, when they
"were in condition of ignorance and de-
basement from which the Chinese issued
thousands of years ago." Now here the
Nation clearly implies that it would be
much less dangerous to admit the Chinese
to the suffrage than it was to admit the
negroes. Aud in making this implication
we are compelled to say that our esteemed
contemporary exhibits profound ignorance
of the actual state of Chinese civilization.
For to say that the Chinese issued thou
sands of years ago from the condition of
ignorance and debasement in which the
negroes were enfranchised, is to misrepre.
sent the facts strangely. The Chinese
masses are in truth very little, if at all,
beyond the negro in civilization, all that
travellers have written to the contrary not.
withstanding. The so-called education
which is universal in China is not educa-
ton in our sense of the word, at all. All

IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION.


Judge Denson's ruling in the Hurtado
case, to the effect that testimony going to
show that the deceased had seduced the
DEFENDANTS wife could not be introduced
as justification of the homicide, is a new
departure, but certainly in the line of
more consistent construction of the law.
The ruling rests upon the fact that the
Codes contain nothing to warrant the con.
clusion that the law regards seduction as
an excuse for homicide. This is perfectly
clear, and the only way to evade it is by
that appeal to some vague "higher law
which in murder cases has so often pro-
cured the acquittal of defendants whose
legal guilt could not be doubted. 1t is
certainly time that an effort was made to
settle the question as to whether the codi.
fed laws of the State are the guides of the
people-of juries as well as judges-or
whether in capital cases the Code is to be
set aside, and the panel is to be invited
to determine the case upon doctrines and
ideas which find no representation in the
law. OF course if it should prove impos.
sible to keep juries to the law and the fact,
it will become necessary to recognize the
hostility of public opinion to the legal
doctrine of murder, and the law will have
to be modified accordingly. Bat in the
meantime it is plainly the duty of Courts
to take the position adopted by Judge
benson, and to stand upon the statutory
definition of what evidence may be admit
ted. If the "higher Law" notion is to be
generally accepted, the Code must fall !;
but until the Code has been repealed, and
the " higher Law" " theory has been en-
bodied in legislation, there seems no room
for doubt as to how the Courts should rule
on such points.
Sacramento daily record-union., 1882-05-06

aid on the ground that the majority of the
taxpayers OF the State are not interested
in the question. In the same breath,
however, they propose national aid, though
it must be perfectly obvious that if their
previous argument is valid as regards the
State, it must be much more valid as re.
CARDS the nation. If it is logical to oppose
State aid, how can it be logical to advo.
cate national aid, California can only
ask Congress to aid her in this business on
the ground that the preservation of the
rivers is matter of national concernment.
But if that be true, how can it be untrue
that the preservation of one important
section Of the State is matter of concern
ment to all the rest of the State? Our
esteemed contemporaries take the amaz-
ing position in this case that the debris
question has no interest for the people of
the State, but has an interest for the
people of the whole country Nor is
this the only anomalous feature in their
truly eccentric argument. They claim
that it is not right to tax the
whole State for the benefit of a
locality yet they are perfectly
willing that the entire nation shall
be taxed for the benefit of that To-
cality. Is it possible that they think to
escape taxation by this position? q? Do they
perchance imagine that if Congress should
make an appropriation for the improve
ment of our rivers, California would con-
tribute nothing to it? Or is it the case, as
has happened, we regret to say, in other
instances, that our brilliant contemporaries
have not considered the question at all,
but have thought it possible to say some
thing about it without reflection? We
have no doubt that California has the
strongest possible kind of claim upon Con-
gress for relief in this regard. We have no
doubt that more cogent argument can be
made for her than it has been possible to
make on behalf of the Mississippi States,
now apparently about to receive an appro-
priation of $1,000, 900 for river improve
ment. But we cannot understand how
those journals which resist State taxation
for local purposes can advocate national
taxation for precisely the same object, and
we do not think they are capable of making
their position Ineligible, even to them.

CONGRESSIONAL INVESTIGATIONS.

Quite number of Congressional invessi.
cations are threatened just now. Voorhees,
wants one, because somebody has charged
that the great whisky bill which he has
been advocating the passage of, has money
behind it. His colleagues have refused to
investigate Voorhees,, but it looks as though
they would have to make inquiry into the
genesis of the whisky bill, and if, as stated,
it means $40, 900, 600 for the whisky men.
it is quite conceivable that there may be
something behind it. Another investiga-
tion has been opened up by Dawes, who
asserted that members were in the habit
of selling public documents to the second
hand book men, and then moving for
appropriations to buy them back again.
This again affects the honor of members,
and seems to call for inquiry. But if
members of Congress insist upon an investi-
cation every time somebody charges them
with venality, we are afraid very little of
the session will be left for the transaction
Of the public business.

TELLER's INDIAN VIEWS.

Secretary of the Interior Teller has been
telling somebody that in his opinion an
end could be put to Indian wars if the
Government would disarm all the Indians.
Perhaps this is so, but MIR. Teller does not
appear to have reflected that in order to
carry out such . programme it would be
necessary for the Government to provide
means of subsistence for all the disarmed
Indians, and that it might also be called
upon to do some disarming outside the
reservations. The Indians are no doubt
very wicked, but then they have not had
the advantages of Christian civilization.
Take the San Carlos Indians as An illustra-
ton. Their reservation has been several
times cut down because valuable mineral
lands were found upon it by prospectors
who were of course trespassers there. In
all these cases the Indians have been
treated as if they had no rights, and at
length they have come to believe that
whenever new mine is found upon
their reservation, the latter will be cur.
tailed again. If the Government had played
such game with white men it is perfectly
safe to assert that they would not have
stood it more than once; but the Indians are
expected to put up with everything, and
then when their patience is exhausted, and
they 60 upon the war. path, a cry is raised
for their determination. If they were
disarmed they could not revenge them.
selves for the wrongs done them, but it is
to be. feared that still less scruple would
be shown than heretofore, in inflicting in.
juries upon them. 1t is all very we'll to
denounce the Indians, but the United
States have certainly never tried the ex-
pertinent of acting in good faith towards
them, and therefore it is quite impossible
to say what that policy would have pro-
duced. On second thoughts it is not i'm.
possible to tell this. Canada has tried the
policy, and the result is that she has had
no trouble with her Indians for half a
century or more. In Canada they do not
have to exterminate their Indians, nor do
the latter ever go upon the war. path. A
careful examination of this state of things
would, we venture to suggest, enlighten
Mr.. Secretary Teller considerably.
