AN UNIDENTIFIED soUABBLE.

Neither Blaine nor Belmont have added
anything to their reputation by their
quarrel in the committee. AS for Belmont,
it is impossible to make out what he was
trying to prove by his roundabout and in
volved questions. Some of them were so
confused that no witness could have
answered them, and Blaine would have
been entirely justified in declining the task
of unraveling them. But when he lost his
temper, and sneeringly referred to his
antagonist as ''young man" as though
youth were fault, he committed blunder
of the first class. He had been bearing
himself very well previously, and it cer-
tainly looked as though he would prove
more than match for the committee.
In losing his temper, however, he threw
away his opportunity, and the dispute be.
tween him and Belmont degenerated into
an unseemly wrangle, which was often de.
cidedly vulgar and stupid. Belmont
showed his inexperience in stating that
he would deal privately with Blaine.
1t would seem that be must have had some
idea of "hostile meeting" but he ought
to have known that we have outlived that
kind of folly, at least north of Mason and
Dixon's line, and that Congressman and
ex-Secretaries of State do not any more
resort to the "code when they fall out.
Altogether this episode was in very bad
taste, and it is to be regretted that the
Chairman did not put a stop to it at an
early stage of the quarrel.

THE MARITIME RIOT.

The first telegraphic account of the anti
Chinese riot at Martinez stated that the
community generally was concerned in it.
Subsequently dispatch was sent to the
Associated Press denying this, and putting
the responsibility upon a few persons, who
it was said did not represent the sentiment
of the town. Ii the people of Martinez
did not approve of the outrage, they
should have taken steps to prevent it. If
only few disorderly persons took part in
1t, what were the others doing? Is it to
be understood that the people who claim
to be w-abiding citizens looked on while
the Chinese were being murdered and
abused and their property was being de-
stroyed? 1t is certainly very strange that
if the majority disapproved of the attack
upon the Chinese, they should not have let
their disapproval be known until the mis-
chief had been done. Again, we do not
hear that any steps are being taken to
vindicate the law. Are we to conclude
that the rioters are not known? Or, if
they are known, that the authorities
do not dare to perform their duty
This is very serious business, and cannot
be hushed up. 1t has been stated that
several Cinnamon were murdered during
the riot, which was also accompanied by
arson and other crimes. The aw.abiding
people of Martinez owe it to themselves
to see that this atroeity is not permitted
to pass unpunished. AS it is we do not
doubt that the facts have before this been
telegraphed to Washington, and that they
will be made use of to prevent the passage
of the new Chinese bill. So true is it
that all who breaks the law in this connso.
tion are the enemies and not the friends of
California, and that sheir raffianism is at
once availed of by our opponents at the
East to deprive US of the protection we
are endeayoIipg to secure.

THE RIGHT VIEW.

We learn that the taxpayers of Sacra-
mento are meeting their obligations to the
municipality with their usual prcmptness,
and that the attempt to persuade them
into refusing to pay their taxes has proved
an almost complete failure. The meeting
on Thursday night showed plainly that the
new movement has no hold upon the COM
munity. After all the drumming and
trumpeting, after all the declarations that
nobody could be compelled to pay taxes.
after all the invitations to dishonesty and
repudiation which could be devised. only
two-and-twenty persons could be found to
sign an agreement to sustain the move
ment. This is tolerably conclusive proof
of the soundness of the public Judgment
in the premises. The truth is that the
people of Sacramento have no disposition
to emulate Elizabeth, New Jersey, which
city committed suicide by repudiatipg its
debt, and has never held up its head since
Sacramento is prosperous. She has bright
prospects for the future, and her people
recognize the fact that they cannot enjoy
all the advantages of solvency without at
the same adding to the value of their exist.
ing obligations. They are not go foolish as
to believe that it is possible for them to
discharge the debt from the standpoint of
insolvency, when all the world and their
bondholders know that they have ample
means and they are not SO shortsighted
as to be unable to perceive that they are
infinitely more interested in maintaining
their credit than in trying to beat their
creditors. They owe no thanks to the
little faction which has always been en-
deavoring to damage the standing of the
city by agitating propositions looking to
repudiation, and the indications are that
they will have nothing to do with any
movements of the kind.

campaigning in that country, is a problem
difficult of solution. Under the circum-
stances the people of Arizona are fully JUS
titled in organizing and arming for their
own protection. If the Government can
not do its own work, somebody else must
do it. But is it not somewhat ia the ma.
ture of bad faith for Government to in
vite the settlement of Territory which it
is unable to protect, and thus to expose the
settlers to the most horrible of all calami-
ties? If the Federal troops cannot cope
with the Indians, it is also in order to in
quire what they are there for. Certainly
the country pays enough for the army to
be entitled to expect that it will be capa.
BILE of performing some services but it
must be admitted that in Arizona it mas
been monotonously unsuccessful in dealing
with the Indian question.

LAMsoN,s CONFESSION.

The murderer Lamson was executed yes
Ssrday. Before his death he made a con-
fession to the effect that he had poisoned
his brother-in.law. This is sufficient an
swer to tbs foolish attempts which have
been made to rescue him from justice. He
was perfeetiy collected and rational from
the time of his arrest to the time of his.
execution. He never did anything which
suggested to his counsel that he was not
altogeths, of sane mind. The strangely
irrational and persistent attempts which
have bean made to save this cruel murderer
from tie gallows tend to show that great
deal too,much morbid and vicious seati-
mentality exists in this coantry, and that

THE CHICAGO COMMUNISTS.

The Chicago Communists have signalized
their emancipation from all the ordinary
ties Of society by coming out boldly and
strongly in behalf of unrestricted Chinese
immigration. At recent meeting they
adopted resolutions deEoancing the anti
Chinese sentiment as CHASED on hatred
"and prejudice y declaring that "it was
"a movement in favor of capitalists, and
"not in the interests of wages-workers !;
" that it is in opposition to the principles
"of a common brotherhood that it is
"Know-Nothing agitation that the most
vehement opposers of Chinese labor are
"those of foreign birth that ander free

"fore the law )" and so forth. The ulti.
mate purpose of this manifesto, however,
is displayed in the closing clause, "that

come because they hope that their
presence will SO disgust the labor
ing classes as to convert them to
the communist doctrines which require,
az a preliminary to the regeneration of
mankind, the entire destruction Of the ex.
isting political and social systems. To the
Conmunist the democracy of the United
States is not much more. attractive than
the despotism of Russia. He holds both
systems to be equally faulty, and he is not
prepared to approve of any form of gov
ernment save that which not only does
not govern, but which undertakes to
give to every citizen that share of the gen.
eral productions which he thinks he ought
to have. AS this theory is complicated by
the condition that nobody else shall have
more than ne earns, it is difficult to see
how the scheme can ever be worked out.
But your trae Communist has faith in his.
dreams, and at all events he is willing to-
carry fire and sword around the world IN,

affiiotion and helplessness, it would seem
only decent that the people of MarseilIes
