Last night P. Veatch, living near Cottage Grove,
Or, was stopped on the road by highwaymsn,
who ordered him to throw up his hands. Yest Ii

an Italian named +. Angelez The ball penetrated
the right lung, passing through the body. Pedro
is lying very low. Angelez was arrested very soon
after the shooting. He denied all knowledge of the
affair, but the evidence OF his guilt is conclusive

GazOtti, has since died. Gazotti escaped, but was
captured and is now in custody.

A DIsGRACEFUL AFFAIR.

The quiet of Sunday evening was yester-
day disturbed by the rattle of firearms.
Within q stones throw of the business
center of the city two regularly armed
and armored bodies of Chinese deliberately
engaged in pitched battle with firearms
in the public highway. 1t was precon-
certed, and coolly carried out, in contempt
of the law and police authorities. One of
the belligerent bodies was imported from
San Francisco, under pay, to turn our
streets into battlefield. This browning
outrage upon the peace and good order of
the city has awakened the indignation it
merits. 1t is just possible that the demon
strated impossibility of maintaining order
in the Chinese quarter may lead
our citizens to consider more seri.
ously than ever before the advisability
of clearing l street of these people. The
liability of such scenes recurring is con-
stant, and makes life and property unsafe
in the heart of the city-for instance, at
the moment of last nights battle, citizens
were coming over the bridge in crowds
from the depot, and were thus thrown into
the immediate scene of the action. The
Chinese should be given to understand
that it is possible to remove them to moro
distant quarters. Taxpayers cannot afford,
and will not bear the burden of maintain.
ing police force sufficiently large to keep
the Chinese on Tstreet orderly.

THE UNSETTLED QUESTION.

A Texas Senator Acknowledgements
The opinion that if bis party selects Mr..
Randall SIS Speaker of the House, the act
=" would De complete estoppel upon any
claim that the party is hostile to the pro-
lection iniquity. 1t would brand as utterly
dishonest and iusincere all our professions
of principle, and make US laughing-stock
and by-word of scorn." To this frank
acknowledgment the Chicago Times re-
plies that it furnishes proof of PROPOSE
ton which has been much doubted
namely, that it is possible for man to be
a member in high standing of the Demo.
crat church and yet venture to express an
opinion upon an unsettled public question.
Such men are seldom discovered. Not
that the Democrat church forbids its com.
municants from holding political beliefs.
It does not. 1t receives men of all beliefs;
those who believe in protection as readily
as those who believe in free trade; fiat.
money cranks as readily as honest-money
advocates even men who spell nation
with capital N are admitted to fellowship
with those who swear that the provinces
are sovereign States" This is all well
enough TO say, but truth is that the really
wise leaders OF both the Democratic and
Republican parties desire to avoid the
issue the Texas Senator is anxious to have
joined, and that the Times declares, if
the Democracy takes the protectionists
side, will put it at sword's point with
the best settled principles of political econ
omy. The Democrats and Republicans
alike know that the greatest burden borne
to-day is the unjust system of taxation,
cloaked By protection. No one expects the
early establishment OF free trade, and both
of the great parties are wise enough to
know that, 30 far as the national campaign
is concerned, the least said about the tariff
the better. 1t may well be left as an issue
for Congressional districts, and be dealt
with by the representatives of the people
when assembled. The Texas Senator rep
resents the extremists of his party, and the
sarcasm OF the Times is pointless, since the
Republican party as well as the Democratic
have divided memberships on the question
of free trade and protection. If either
party attempts to set off the black sheep
from the white. both will find new party
confronting them.

WHAT cLEAR-HsADBD JOURNAL SAYS

The San Jose Mercury, which certainly
is not open to the "charge " of being
friendly to the railroads, in remarking
upon the subject of taxes due from the
Southern Pacific Railroad Company to that
county, has something TO say to which
nothing may be added and nothing taken
away "If the people have made mis-.
take In their pew Constitution, in its
double-geared provision for the assess.
ments OF railroad property, the best course
they can pursue is to make the best terms
possible with the railroads, and then hasten
to amend their Constitution so as TO rem.
der such mistakes hereafter impossible.
Il is all very nice to stand up for prin.
ciple, or to insist that we will accept the
whole or none of these taxes. Those can
afford to take that position to whom the
payment of taxes is no burden. But the
humble taxpayer, who has about all the
lead he can carry, cares much less for the
distractions involved in this case than he
does for being relieved from the extra bur
den ne is compelled to bear because of the
withholding of these railroad taxes. Law.
yers may fight over it, and Courts may
wres.le with the problem until the crack
Of doom, or rather until the entire amount
of the taxes shall be absorbed in litigation,
and then how much better will the people
be of? Tie chances are that they will be
defeated in the end, and have their own
attorneys to pay. And the only principle
they viii have established is that they
have made consummate asses Of themselves
in adopting Constitution with such loop
holes as to enable railroad corporations to
escape their Just share of the burdens of
government. The best way out Of bad
business is generally the shortest way.
The acceptance of compromise in this
case is attended with no sacrifice of prin.
ciple. In fact there is but precious little
principle involved in the case. The PEG.
pie, in their new Constitution, sought to
t&ke an unfair advantage of the railroad
companies in the assessment OF their prop
erty, and, ss far as all the subordinate
Courts are concerned, they find themselves
badly left. They went out for wool, and
they came back wretchedly shorn.

The people Of Hayti are disposed to ask
the United States or France to extend over
them its protectorate. Our Government
should do nothing of the kind. The pol.

clear Of all such complications. AS we

he is bitterly opposed to any such involve
