ANOTHER treasury clerk is after " Hon. est" John Sherman's scalp. He claims that John sent him to Arkansas to give the latter's presidential boom boost among the colored brethren and their white cohorts. The clerk took his station and went to work as per orders, receiving written directions from John from time to time. He succeeded in electing him self a delcgate to the Chicago convention, but despite his best efforts the Arkansas convention instructed for Grant, and Johns man Friday was thus compelled to stand with the 1906" John had ad- vanced him S100 for expenses, but the latter ran up to S350, and after the Chi cago convention the clerk presented a bill to John for the extra $250.

 SOME of our cotemporaries arc creating the impression that Mir Arthur's primer pal objection to the Chinese bill was the twenty years clause, when in truth that was the least of his objections. He op- posed the bill because he deemed it a breach of national faith, because it was contrary to the spirit and teachings of our institutions; because it was un-Amer- ican and unchristian; because he thought Chinese cheap labor had been a blessing to California and might be advantageous to other sections of the county; because the Chinese minister informed him that the legislation would not be agreeable to China and was not in harmony with the treaty stipulations, and because he deemed the Chinese minister more competent to interpret the language of the treaty than the combined intelligence of two thirds of the congress of the United States. This is the grounds of the veto in a nut shell, as reference to the message will prove It Is almost certain that a bill against which any of these objections could be raised would not be signed, and the people of this coast need not waste time in nursing the hope that they will get half loaf in the shape of ten year law

A DISPATCH from Charleston, dated April 17th, signed by the coroner, says: News has just been received here that two Mexicans were killed last night by In dians, eigtht miles from Hereford, at the Point of Mountain. The Mexicans were hauling coke to Bisbee and one of them, the wagon master, Pedro Flores, was a short distance in advance of the teams, when the Indians appeared short dis tance from the road and fired at him, two of the bullets passing through his body and probably killing him instantly. The driver of the first team secured his rifle and returned the fire, and some Ameri- cans, who were camped about mile be- low and within sight of the scene, kept them off for some time until an Indian on the other side of the road, and not seen by the driver, fired and killed him also. The driver of the second team escaped to the camp of the Americans. The Indians took look at the Americans, but seeing so many men, Were evidently afraid to attack them. The Indians returned, and taking large stone, broke the skull of Flores, and then taking five of the best mules, rode away The bodies were taken to Bisbee to-day. Flores and the driver were both from Tucson and well known there.

 THE grounds upon which MT. Arthur vetoed the Chinese bill and the evident harmony between his views on the subject and those of the leading men in the do- minant party, have alarmed the laboring classes in the East. The passage in the veto message, declaring that "Chinese labor had been great benefit to Cal ifornia" and might be found advantageous in other portions of the Union, has knocked the scales from their eyes, and they realize for the first time that great danger threatens them. They had accepted in good faith the platforms of the two great parties; they had believed the pre- tense of politicians; they had trusted the promises of party leaders, and rested i'll falcied security from mongolian inva- sion. But the language of the veto and its indorsement by the Presidents party in congress has undeceived them, and they are holding indignation meetings and banding together irrespective of polit- ical predilections, to make common cause against the enemy.

 A sUB-CoMNnTTEE Of the House com mittee on banking has submitted bill to suspend further issue of silver cerciicates and reduce the coinage of silver dollars to the actual demand. This is simply a scheme to practically demonetize silver, and it will be found upon investigation that the national banks and the Shylocks of the east are behind it. There is set determination on the part of those eastern sharks to check the growing power of the west by hurtful discrimination against its chief product. They are pursuing a poli- cy in the present congress that will, If persisted in, result in arraying against them a solid west as well as a solid south. With their enmity to silver and friendli- ness to the Chinese they will drive every thinking man of the west from their sup port. Republicans here, however sincere may be their convictions, will be com pelled, as a matter of self-preservation, to renounce their party if it continues in its present attitude of hostility to the west.
