Mr., MICHAEL DAYITT has been
credited with the possession of
more brains than any other Of the
Irish agitators. The Gre dit may be
properly bestowed, and he might
also be charged with having as
much impudence as any of his coun-
trymen. In his speeches he sneer-
ingly refers to England's inability
to protect Carey, the informer,
against an Irish murderer. It will
strike most people as the height of
impudence for man to express con-
tempt for a government because it
does not prevent him and his friends
numbering their enemies. One thing
England is doing that is very an
noying to Davitt and associstss-if
she does not prevent murders, she
most terribly ayenges them, as the
Phoenix Park assassins have real
lied and as O'DonnelI, who killed
Carey, is in a fair way Of learning.

IT Is almost amusing to note how
q8edily the Californian editor
catches up every account Of Chinese
misdoing III the east, and rolls it
under his tongue as a rich mOrsel.
If a Chinaman commits an offense
east of the Missouri, the Californian
points to it as q vinaication Of him
self and a proof that the heather is
bad and irreclaimable. The western
8rmay believe he is right in this
course, but Others think differently.
Whatever the Chinese may be in
California i'll the east they are not
remarkable for their prOneness to
crime, and any amount of
magnifying offenses in the west
will have little effect upon
The cooler-headed and slower
going people of the east.
The New Highlander calls q mali
ciOus killing murder, and designates
The killer a murderer, whether he
IS a Monaghan, a European or an
American; and he fails to see any
difference IN the Nervousness of the
crime, whoever is the perpetrator.
California thinks she has a Chinese
grievance, and she ought to have
The privilege Of nuIsing it: but no
sther section of this broad land has
any such grievance, and California
ought not to make any other State
geIieVe it suffers from the presence
q the unwelcome Monaghan.

TIE PEOPLE Of Dakota are so
anxious for state government that
they are talking of organizing a
state, eIecting officers, and sending
their demand for admission to the
Union down to Washington. In
case Congress fails to see it in the
Dakota light, the threat is to pro-
coed just the same as if the state
organization were regular, legitim.
ate and proper. The scheme is
very pretty. All that it lacks is
practicability. 1t is now nearly
twenty-five years since tie possib-
ility of setting up independent gov
ernments within the borders of the
United States was definitely set
tied. The south having failed in lis
effort in the direction of establish
ing an Independent government,
Dakota had better hesitate long be-
fore taking the foolish step men
toned.
