The encouragement has rendered an
opinion to the secretary OF the treasury
that Chinese laborers desiring to return
to their native land from other foreign
lands cannot be transported across the
territory of the United States without
violating the act of congress unless the
persons mentioned were in the United
States on November II, 1880, or came
there within ninety days after the pas
sage of the act. The treasury depart.
ment will hereafter be guided by this
ruling. The opinion of the attorney
general given 10 the state department
on this matter Is said to be exactly the
reverse of the above.

Mr.. Schurz says in the Nation: =
1.-THE defalcation and flight Of an officer
SO highly placed as a state treasurer are
happily of rare occurrence. In fact, we
can recall no case in which one OF SINH
lar rank has stolen the funds committed
to his care, except during the Tweed
regime in this city and tue carpet-bag
rule at the south. South Carolina
suffered in a similar way from the Mos.
es Scott arker gang. But 1t must be
admitted that the management of state
and city finances at the south by :he
native whites has on the whole been
very honest. Before the war it was
extremely good" The ex-secretary
continues his article by q soathing
denuncistion of the combination of
''bIack republicans combined with dem.
ocratic converts like Malone, who are
hungry for a share OF federal patronage,
or. as they chl it, have their, faces
turned toward the morning." In Mr..
Folks case this beautiful figure of
speech will hardly apply, as his face
was turned toward the setting sun.

The death sentence was pro-
nounced by Judge Caldwell, OF
the Superior Court of Nevada
county, California, on John c.
p. Collins, on Monday last. The
day for execution was set for
Friday, May IL, 1888. Collins
is a man with 4 very black
record. and with another scoun-
Grel named Thorne, the latter
recently sentenced to San
Quentin for life, robbed and
murdered Cummin 6 :, til e
Moore's Flat banker, in Septen-
Der, 1879. 1t was shown on
trial that the shooting was ac-
tually done by Thorne while
Collins was scufliing with Cum
Inings for the possession of 4
gold bar, but a befuddled jury
found Thorne guilty Of murder
in the first degree and fixed the
penalty at life imprisonment.
Collins harangued the court at
considerable length before the
death sentence was pronounced,
asserting, like most scoundrels
under such circumstances, his
innocence, and claiming that
the evidence was "put up" on
him.

THE OLD STORY,

Up to the late storm there
was loud wailing in California
ever the dreary prospect of Il
drouth in that State. This dis
NAL song has been sungannually
for the last quarter of a century,
and will probably continue to be
sung as long as the Golden State
has hay-seed croakers or sharp
ers on the lockout for !. corner
in wheat. When a season Of
copious rains comes around
wheat is either marked for the
smut ruin, or the great product
viii be 50 in excess Of a demand
for it that the never-to-be salts
fed ranchMan can see go profit
in a grain crop. California has
never known a total failure in a
wheat crop, AMI in all proba-
bility it will never know such a
thing. If the rain fall in upper
California be light, where heavy
rains are most needed, the
lower counties are favored by
Nature with fegs under the iG-
tiuence of which all the grains
flourish. San Joaquin and
Colusa counties may have light
grain crops, but Los Angeles
and San Bernardino Will supply
the shortage. The recent storm,
which seems to have been gen
eral in California, will probably
stop the whine about an antici-
pated grain crop failure in that
State, but then the croaker will
fall back on fearful frost
havoc with the fruit crop. Ceres
may smile but Pomona will
weep. May or June frosts will
come blightingiy, as they have
come for years, and in the gran
ger way Of putting it, "Californy
won't hev no fruit this season."
But despite rain-dearths, Spring
and Summer frosts, smut Of the
smuttiest kind, weevil, Goblin
moths, grasshoppers, etc, Cali
fornia will have enough grain
and fruit to supply its large pop
ulation, in addition to furnish
ing those articles literally to
Nevada in exchange fer our sill
yer and gold.

Now comes some one, a party
from Elko, We believe, and
gives the assurance that the
Denver and Rio Grande Rail-
road people have made arrange
ments with the c. p. r. r. Co.
by which the latter are TO trans
port freight from Ogden to tide
water in California. This means
tina: the d. & r. &. road is not
to be built to Nevada in a very
near future. OF course most
sensible people did not suppose
the road was to be built in this
State, and such people are not
startled by the report of the
Elko man. But how is it with
Senator Foley. and the other
Legislative orators, who told
us recently that this road was to
be built in short time, and
drew glorious pictures of the
grand things this competitive
road would do for Nevada.
Somebody must have been mis-
taken.

SANTA FE, March IS General Ne.
Kenzie received dispatch from Colonel
Forsyth to the effect that on Monday
William Beach's camp on the ella river
in Arizona was attacked and two men
were killed by the Indians. Tuesday
morning, five miles south Of the ella
river. at Swings ranch. Arizona, five
more men were killed. The Indians are
be ieved to be San Carlos renegades, going
south to join the renegades who have
been lately depredatiug in Arizona and
who are believed to be on the way to
Mexico Colonel Forsyth had been
ordered out with four companies of the
Fourth cavalry and reached the scene
and taken up the trail Of the hOstiles.

CHICAGO, March p. JUICE Nc.
Alister delivered an opinion in the Ap.
pellate Court to, day in the case of
Nathan A. Stone against Dora Apple.
Stone promised Miss Apple in April to
marry her on the 18th of September
following. Both of them are Jews. and
when the day for the ceremony came
it turned OUT to be the "kippur,"
Jewish feast. day on hich no Jewish
priest may celebrate marriage. Con
sequently Stone declined to be married
on that day, and two days afterward
Miss Apple sued him for S., 900 damages
for breach Of promise. The jury gave
her $1,000 damages. Appellate Court
overrnies this, and decides that no good
Jew can be compelled to marry on Yom
whether he promised to do SO
or not. Miss Apple is evidently not
over Stones default, as she
has since married.

BOYS IND TRADES.

An article on silk manufactures printed IN an
other column deals with stumbling,blorE to
American industry which THE TRIBUNE has be-
fore taken occasion to discuss. The writer finds
that the manufacturers ale obliged to bring
from Europe skilled workmcn ut high wages
because a large proportion of Americans refuse
10 give two years 10 learning trade ut which
they are sure of earning comfortable livelihood
for the rest of their lives.
II is to the general decay of the apprentice
shin system that we have to attribute much that
j. dangerous and cXtrayagant in social tend
pncics and trade management. American boys
too seldom choose 10 take up respectable trade
in the thorough manner that makes both the
occupation and themselves honorable. They
propose without consideration of ability to
enter the professions or TO become Immediately
rich mcn-to be, in short, "as good as any
body" They pass through the public schools,
and are apt to emerge half-tdught, shallow and
inefficient with no preparation for the practical
work of life.
Those who have the sound sense 10 sec how
much better is good trade than prccarou,
scramble for bread find too often that the
unions stand i'm the way. Meanwhile the
foreigner who mas thoroughly Sluucu MS NOIh
steps into factory and shop, takes the rcnumcra-
tive places, and thriycs rs industry and knOwl
edge always thrive. The American presently,
perhaps, yields his ambitions and shamblc1
through sham work in trade for which he has
had no proper training, and in which for him
there is little possibility of rising from work
man to master. The most cheerful optimist
cannot but perceive and lament the growing
spirit of contempt for good manual labor, and
the ignorant assumption, cheap "smartness
and dishonesty that are the inevitable outcome
of that spirit
