A CURIOUS OBJECTION.

1t appears to be objected to the admis-
sion of Dakota to the Union that one of
the counties of the Territory has committed
a very discreditable act of reputation. We
are at loss to comprehend how such an
act as this should have been regarded as a
bar to her admission. however. Repudia.
ton of far more disgraceful and extensive
kind than anything ever perpetrated in Da-
kota, has within the past six months been
most warmly Endorsed and approved by
the party in power, and by the Admins,
tration. Nothing worse than the case of
Virginia has ever been, or probably ever
will be, recorded; yet the local faction
which put Reputation on its banners has
been not merely fraternized with, but its
demagogue leader has been allowed to die.
tate the most offensive nominations to that
august body, the Senate of the United
States. After this it seems perfectly ridicu.
lous for anyone to imagine for moment
that simple tentative experiment at repu-
diation, such as is asserted of this Dakota
county, should operate as an obstacle to
the admission of the Territory. Indeed it
must rather be concluded that the knowl.
edge of this tendency among some of
the Dakotans will evoke a certain
warm friendliness towards them and
their interests among those Republicans
statesmen who have just accepted Mahone
as "boss and an exemplar. The op-
ponents of the admission of the Territory
have come to the wrong Court to make
this kind OF plea in. Their objections will
be looked upon in that tribunal as recon-
mendations. It will probably be perceived
that here are the elements which in due
time may lead to the formation of new
g Readjuster party, and that Dakota
may thus go to swell the ranks of those
repudiating States which can be relied on
TO return Republican majorities. We are
indeed not little surprised that it should
have been thought possible to prevent the
admission of the Territory by bringing
forward facts of the kind referred to. To
object against Territory that some of its
people are not honest is not in these days
a valid plea. Certainly Dakota cannot
corrupt Union of States which already
embraces Virginia, and assuredly the party
which has upheld reputation in Virginia
cannot affect TO condemn it in Dakota.
After this, in fact, we shall look daily for
the intelligence that the new State has
been admitted.

CHINA AND JAPAN.

China and Japan continue to bite their
thumbs at one another. and It seems prob.
able that they viii be unable much longer
to refrain from war. It is true that there
is no particular ground for hostiEties, but
that never yet prevented them. It is also
true that Russia lie watching the two
countries sharply, and preparing to take
advantage of rhe results of their quarrel,
even if she is not actively fomenting strife
between them which would be quite in
her line. II Japan and China will only be
SO obliging as to fight until both are
crippled. Russia can then impose what
conditions she pleases upon both, and at
the same time obtain possession OF Corea
without much trouble. 1t is pity that
Japan at least is not better counseled than
to engage in war ont Of which she can
gain nothing. for she especially needs
long period of peace for the assimilation
of those European and American institu-
tions, habits, customs and vices which she
has adopted with SO little preparation or
examination.

JEANETTE NEWS.

Lieutenant Danenhower's last dispatch
indicates that the general position of De
Longs party has been ascertained, though
it is evident that its actual condition is
unknown. If, however, it is in bleak
and gameless region, the presumption is
that it is exposed to serious privations, to
say the least, and the fact that it has not
worked itself out of this inhospitable
region would seem to indicate partial or
general prostration. In fact every fresh
scrap OF news regarding De Long and his
party only serves to confirm the apprehen-
sion which the earliest intelligence created,
and the longer the silence continues the
gloonier will the general feeling about the
leader of the Inflated expedition be. Lieu
tenant Danenhower has sent synoptical
account of the doings of the Jeanette be.
fore she was crushed, which shows that
she was never out of the grip of the ice
from the time she first entered it-a few
weeks after leaving San Francisco-until
1t became necessary to abandon her. The
Lieutenant's brief narrative suggests
several very interesting questions, among
which is the cycloidal motion in the ice, to
which he refers as being very rapid and
long sustained. The temperature expe..
rienced was evidently considerably lower
than the average, and the minimum must
have been exceedingly cold, especially if
there was wind at the time. The news re-
gsrding Lieutenant Chips party is full
as depressing as that concerning De Long.
The inevitable deduction from it is that the
smallest boat sank with all on board during
the gale in which the expedition was sep
arated, and that nothing more will ever be
heard of them.

NEVADA.
Chinaman Hanged for Murder.

WINNEMUcCA, February 9sh = Charley
Hing was executed here to day for the muir
der of All Lick on the Ssh of May last. He
was an intelligent Cbinaman, 26 years of age,
who had lived here for six years. His victim
was member of the company to which he
belonged, and on that account he was stunned
by his countrymen, none of whom would
have anything to say to him while he was in
Jail. He was dressed In silken suit fur
nished by his woman, now in Salt Lake City.
The sciffold was erected in the jail yard, and
a large crowd assembled at the Court-houss
eager to get look at the culprit on
bis way to the gallows, and if pos-
sible to gain admitsance to the Enclosure
where the execution took place. The doomed
man was accompanied to the scaffold by Rev.
e. McKelvey. who endeavored to get him to
comprehend the Christian idea of salvation.
He spt Ike few words on the sceffold. admit.
ting that he killed All Lick in self-defense,
and asserting that $500 had been used to

had been treated kindly by the officers. At
the close Of his remarks he was led upon the
trap by Sheriff Burns and Deputy Fellows,
and he stood unsupported while his arms and
legs were pinioned at 11:40 the rope was
put around his neck, the black cap drawn
over his face, the trap sprung, and with q

to the question whether it will satisfy the
sentiment Of the State. Then there is the
appertionment bill, over which contest
is being organized, and the prospects OF
which seem dubious. A Tariff Commits
sion IS to be appointed, and this can be
done safely, because it will not report until
December, and all the elections will be
we'll over by that time. Beyond these
and the superintendent bill it is not
thought that many measures will be
brought forward. One reason for this eau.
ton probably is that Congress is in uncer-
tainty as to the drift of public opinion
There are no longer any broad, clearly
defined issues between the great parties.
Men continue to be Republicans and
Democrats from force of habit more than
from force of conviction. In fact, the
issues have become SO uncertain and faint
that it is no longer possible to name one
upon which party lines can be drawn. Free
Trade and Protection are not party issues
On the contrary they divide both the par.
ties. Whatever currency questions eur
vive are equally divided. There is no
longer Southern question. On Civil
Service Reform both parties make the same
professions, and with the same insincerity.
What then are the campaign organizers
going to do for topics when the time for
action approaches? The Labor question,
the Anti. Monopoly question, have been
exploited, and save locally are no longer
available. The fact therefore is that both
Democrats and Republicans have very
difficult future before them, and that men
generally will vote this year with very
little regard for party lines, but principally
as local influences, preferences and preju-
dices move them. The conjuncture is one
of those in which there is really very little
to be done by the national organizations.
Platforms of all kinds are indeed rapidly
falling into just discredit. They have been
abused on both sides until public faith in
them is well nigh dead. The masses will
probably be guided more by facts than by
promises hereafter for some time to come,
and Congress is afraid to move decisively
in any direction, because it cannot perceive
how the popular currents of opinion are
tending, and because it is, therefore, in
peril of making false steps. The situation
is generally curious illustration of the
way in which public business is subordi-
mated to party politics.

EXCITING Chase Ar,er STAGE Robbers.

and calling for assistance. McQusde had
trailed the robbers like sleuth-hound from
the place of the robbery on the Chinese
Camp and Copperopolis road until after they
had crossed the MERGED river at MERGED Falls,
when they bore higher up into the hills, and
he lost the trail, but struck it again, and fol-
lowed them to near the Chowchilla river, in
Mariposa county. where they had taken refuge
in the brush. The last seer of them was yes
terday morning at Blind Huqh's cabin, as q
man reported here this morning, when they
were armed each with repeating rifle and
one or two revolvers. They are well known
along the route they are pursuing, one of
them being the boy who killed his step-father
near Fresno Flats, il Fresno county, two or
three years ago. They are considered des-
perate characters. and fears are entertained
for the safety of those in pursuit. Sheriff
Meany and Deputy French started cut
promptly last night to Join in the pursuit,
expecting to learn the whereabouts of Nc
Qlade and the party in pursuit on reaching
Benefits ranch or FISHERMAN Hollow.

Felipe Honali lost parts of both arms in
railroad accident In New Mexico, and
while recovering in a hospital had plenty
of time to consider the problem of how to
get living in the future. The railroad
company gave him 81. 600, and the alterna.
tives that seemed to present themselves
were those of living well on that amount
while it lasted and living miserably on the
interest. But he hit upon singular plan
for remunerative employment. He had seen
armless men in side-shows, and he resolved
70 sacrifice his own useless stumps, thus
qualifying himself for human curiosity
1t was long time before he could induce
any surgeon to make fresh amputation,
but he has at length found one who took
his view of the utility of the operation
He will soon present the appearance of
having been born armless.

PARTY POLITICS AND PUBLIC BUSINESS.

1t is evident that Congress has already
become tired of transacting the business of
the public, and that it is turning its atten.
ton 10 party politics, as men turn from
ephemeral pursuits to that occupation
which is the real focus of their energies.
The Republicans of course desire SO to
arrange the work of the session that it
may assist them in the autumn elections.
That is the main point the usefulness of
what they do is very secondary matter.
And because much legislation involves
many points of attack, the politicians
desire to pass only few bills. There is
an important election in California, and SO
an anti Chinese bill is to be pushed
through, the question whether it will
serve the end aimed at being subservient
