A late number of the San Francisco
Examiner under the head of "What
Does 1t Mean ?" contains the statement
that Mr.. NJ. II. De Young forwarded to
that office, just before his departure for
Europe, copy of a Chicago paper which
contained an interview with him in
which he said, in substance, that the
Republican party is dead on the Pacific
Coast, and that the votes OF California,
Oregon, Nevada and Colorado might be
relied upon, in the future, for the De-
mocracy. Pointing to the fact that Mr..
NJ. H. De Young is the ostensible editor
of the Chronicle, the Examiner rightly
says that his personal utterances are
strikingly opposed to those of his paper
Apropos of this curious dissimilarity of
outgiving, it has been an open secret
in San Francisco, during the past three
weeks, Notwithstanding the Chroaicle's
explicit disclaimers, that Mr. De Young
has parted with his interest in that jour
nal for a pecuniary consideration, When
rumor of this kind gets abroad there
is generally something in it, and the late
proprietor's talk with Chicago newspa-
per man is almost confirmation sure as
proof of Holy Writ that the sometime

A Pregnant Fact.

Nothing could show more demonstra-
lively the real intensity and sincerity of
the sentiment of the whole people OF the
Golden Gate upon the veto than the UNI
questionable fact that, Immediately upon
its announcement, San Francisco real es-
tate underwent marked depreciation.
In his speech ON the Chinese bill in the
United States Senate Dawes, of Massa-
chusetts, tainted our people with the
circumstance that, only little more
than a decade ago, the merchants and
business men of San Francisco banqueted
Burlingame and his Mandarin campan-
ions. In that Dawes was quite right.
When the Burlingame treaty was nego-
tiated our people were afame with fam
boyant hopes, built upon the hyperboles
of old Tom Benton and upon the vapor
ings of literateurs who know as much
about the prosaic reality of Chinese in
tercourse as COW does of algebra. 1t
is great imputation of the sagacity of
our callow statesmen and San Francisco
business men, of dozen years ago, that
they saw big tide of wealth pouring
into this country as result of the nego-
tiation of the Burlingame treaty. They
have since seen it pouring steadily out
towards Cathay. All their sanguine
hopes have, like Dead Sea apples, turned
to ashes on their lips. The fools who
welcomed Burlingame and his Chi
nese companions are the wise men of to-
day, who shake their heads in grave APP
prehension at the indifference Of the
leaders of the Republican party to the
necessities of the people of this Coast.
That the real estate barometer, in the
principal city of California, should regis
ter the result of the veto in lifelessness
and relaxed prices speaks louder than
volumes we could write of the change
which has come over the spirit of our
dream. 1t is only fools who are expect
ed not to revise their opinions in the
light of developed and accepted facts.
Daily Los Angeles herald., 1882-04-26

Bile to times when methodical records of
events were few and far between, and
when the force known to our age as
public opinion had no existence. After
occasional spasms of better feeling
towards Ireland, to which, in his more
gracious days, even William Ewart
Gladstone lent himself, England is
again trying to keep down the aspira-
ton of whole people by the mailed
hand. Edmund Burke is the author of
the aphorism that it is impossible to
indict whole people, but the present
British government thinks otherwise.
The temporary release of Parnell, the
other day, to permit of his visiting a
sick sister, and his arrival in Paris ON
that errand, has set the French press to
writing up the atrocities of British
tyranny in Ireland, with some highly
amusing and eccentric results. Monsieur
Rochefort, of all the Partisan editors,
seems to have accomplished the hap
piest literary success in these discus
sions. This versatile journalist and
statesman has set himself to work to
discover reason for British cruelty to
the inofensive Celt; and, curiously
enough, he finds it in the fact that the
people of the "bright little, tight little
isle" are in the habit of attending
church every Sunday, and of permitting
themselves to be preached to death b!
dull ministers. Monsieur Rochefort i
of the opinion that, as result OF thes
incessant sermons, sullen ferocity /
engendered in the breasts of the hear
ers. which seeks solace in blood ant
confscation. As all movements of til
human intellect, however abnol
NAL, possess a certain degre
! of interest, Monsieur Rochefort
theory is worthy the attention OF som
J of the enlightened gentlemen who fill s
acceptably the pulpits of the several de
, nominations of the Christian religion
= We have enjoyed no little amusemer
at this French editors way of account
ing for series of grave political blul
5 ders and atrocities. 1t goes withor
saying that only Frenchman coul
: have patented so unique psychologist
9 political theory.

ONE of the atrocious features Of the
present Indian outbreak is that the ma
RAIDERS are led by savages captured by
the United States troops during the late
"unpleasantness," and afterwards dis
charged. These red devils have been
able, so far, to sacrifice the lives of at
least eighty Caucasians which, if the
maxim that the only good Indian is a
dead one had been acted upon by Gen.
Wilcox, might have been of use in de-
veloping the mineral wealth of Arizona
and New Mexico. Arizona is signing

GREETED Gen. Crook.

AMONGST the candidates who will
seek a nomination mt the hands of the
San Jose Democratic Convention is Mr..
j. M. Estudillo, of Alameda county. Mr..
Estudillo is cousin OF Hon. J. G.. Es-

enviable reputation for integrity and
efficiency as State Treasurer during Gov.
Twins administration, and he was

A Novel Political Theory.

That England has for some seven cen
turtles oppressed the people of Ireland in
an unexampled manneris fact to which
the most accomplished British historians
and essayists have borne testimony.
Probably no equal record of injustice
and oppression, covering an equal pc
Rod of time, can be gathered from the
annals of any otherpeople on earth. The
coarse barbarity with which Russia
has treated the Poles has many features
of similarity to the Irish regime, but
then it must be borne in mind that it is
very little more than one hundred years
since Poland was dismembered and en-
shaved, and that the Cars have had to
carry out their abhorent programme in
face of the indignant civilization of the
nineteenth century, while the great body

An DESTINATIONS Indecency-Ths
Result.

Considering the circumstances under
which President Arthur attained his
present post he can very justly be ae-
cused of gross indeceney in administer
ing the high trust to which the people
supposed they were calling Garfield for
at least the period of four years. De-
oasionally we are told that his Presiden-
tial ''accidency" is regulating his official
conduct with view single to his re-
nomination by his party. If such is his
Intention he has less skill in his methods
than the men who preceded him as
Presidential legatees. As far as he has
gone thus far, every appointee of Ar
thurs, with single exception, has been
taken from the ranks of those who were
wont to denounce Garfield, and upon
whom the late President looked with I'M
disguised disapprobation. Probably no
fair minded man would have expected
the new President, if he had desired a
change. to adhere to the cabinet of his
predecessor. There is something intol-
cradle in the idea of forcing into close
personal association with the President
people who may be distasteful to him.
But, not content with remodeling his
Cabinet, Arthur has shown himself
treacherous and intriguing to a higl
degree in the instance of Secretary
Blaine. President Garfeld's most truste,
friend, even sacrificing the dignity o
the United States to make the insidiou
political vendetta the more effective
Whereat the astute Blaine, who sur
vived eight years of the open, bulldog
hostility of Grant, probably laughs il
his sleeve. The nomination of CARTEL,
was protest against Grant, his method
and friends. No man knows this bette
than Arthur. The only gifts he ha
been accused of possessing are those of
debonnair man of the world and of
practical politician. Every man witt
was noted in his time and generation TO
practical devotion to the 306 bras
medal programme is gradually bein,
sought out and officially advanced b.
this winner of prize in the lottery o
assassination. If he thinks that, b,
such tactics, he can be his own sue
cessor, then indeed is the sagacity will
which he has been credited the merest sci
over-reaching cunning. Our own opin
ion is that, of all the Vice Presidents WIFI
have become President by the act o
God or the bullet of an assassin-ant
they have all been failures-Arthur vii
prove to be the biggest and most mel
archoly failure of all. Andrew John
son, of the whole lot, really deserved t.
succeed, and yet even Andrew johnson
passed into an obscurity which was onl,
relieved by the fitful flash of his election
to the United States Senate, and which
was confirmed by his premature death
For Arthur there will not be even mo
mentary resurrection when he steps
down and out of the White House.

you, as skeleton to sit at your banquet,
the fact that nearly one hundred of our
pioneers have, within few days, been
wantonly murdered in cold blood by the

mistaken policy permits to survive
their crimes. If some small portion of

The True Enwartiness.

1t will be seen, by our Washington
dispatches, that the work of eviscerat
ing the Chinese bill in the Senate of the
United States has already begun, in the
shape of a motion to strike out the tif
teenth clause, which defines ''Chinese
laborers" to mean both skilled and un.
skilled laborers and Chinese engaged in
mining Should this provision be
stricken out the people of the
Pacific Coast would not only be
cheated but Knocked. Insult would
thus be added to injury, and Californians
would find that they had not only been
tweaked by the nose but had been
asked to regard the indignity in the
light of courteous attention. Should
such an emaseulated bill pass Congress,
and receive the signature of the Presi-
dent, even the stupidest Pacific Coast
Republican would be tempted to ad-
dress his leaders at Washington with
the poignant exclamation, perhaps it
was right to dissemble your love, but
why did you kick me down stairs?"
