A big crowd of people has gone down to
Norfolk to witness the international cooking
main which commences there to-day. From
appearances about one-half Of the visitors
will be left, as there is not room for them
all at the pit, although the proprietors are
making strenuous efforts to enlarge the
building so as to accommodate all who come
to see. The pit is in Portsmouth, not far from
the cotton dock and has, in times past been the
seen Of many notable encounter. Eslin, the
Washington man, who handles tho birds for
the south, arrived there yesterday and took
charge of the chickens. The fights will be-
gin ut 10 q. M. each day as long as the main
lasts. Each side will put up about twenty
eight birds, and q great number of fights are
expected. Phil Kearney, who handles the
northern birds, arrived there Sunday. The
steamers that left this city last night carried

NO NEW DISCOVERY.

The San Francisco Bulletin has discov-
cred that species of civil service reform,
pinchbeck kind of article, prevails, es-
pecially in the municipal departments of
the metropolis. By this system certain
partisans are retained in subordinate Of
fetal positions or certain political oppo-
nents of the dominant party hold office, no
matter what changes may take place as the
results of elections. 1t is quiet little ar
rangement of the bosses, by which they
distribute patronage irrespective of the
success of this, that or the other party.
This system is as old as the hills, and is
the outcome Of treaty of amity and good
will between the machine men, the politi-
cal bosses, the ward strikers, and the un-
scrupulous leaders of both the great par
ties. This "Americus principle, which
so Justly rouses the ire of the Bulletin, is
about as infamous political conspiracy to
defeat the will of the people and debauch
public servants as can well be conceived.
There is one remedy for 1.-THE utter de-
structiOn of the machine" But this will
never be done until the self-respecting men
of party resolve to pull together. The
truth is that these machine men have
power, because it is confessed to them. A
reputation for " infuence is all the cap
ital stock they need. If they were but
once boldly met by the united front of men
who readily desire the best interests of the
country, these tricksters and traders
would drop into such depth Of nothing
ness that the lead of eternity would never
find soundings in the chasm.

THE CLOUD IN THE SOUTH.

Il. K, Charles, writing to the Nation
from Darlington, S. c., says that the
Democracy of the South, and of which he
is a member, is upon the eve of dissolving
all relations with the Northern Wing-at
least the national party can no longer
count upon the solid support of the South
ern branch. This is a significant statement,
and there are many indications of its prob
ability. Mr.. Charles alleges that the
Southern Democrats are convinced that
they viii NOS be allowed to share in the
success of the party, as the Northern
wing declares the demands of its colleagues
to be too Southern. He believes the idea
of holding itself independent is crystalliz.
ing into form in the Southern wing because
the South is unanimous for free trade be-
cause by drawing to one side it can hold
the balance of power because the South
is now upon the full tide of prosperity,
and hence prefers quiet, stability and MAN.
tenance of the present financial policy OF
the Government. The South has
no overweening political ambition,
and fears that any sudden
change or shock may iniure its material
prosperity but, above all, it feels " that
the tendency of the national Democratic
party is not in the direction of our sym.
pathy or judgment. These reasons are
not without their force, and most of them
are such as attach objections to any party
that has divided policy for sections of the
country. But the most significant state
ment of reasons given for independents of
the Southern Democracy is left for the last
and is the recognition that there is at hand
another 90 irrepreasible conflict -that lie.
tween intelligence and ignorance, and
which call the South to alliance with the
party which, as the correspondent puts It,
"most vigorously repuiiates the p5opa-
gandism OF the Communist, the Nihihst
snd the modern demagogue. 1t follows
that Southern Democrats, if driven to this
choice and to a policy unbiased by past
affiliations, must give support to the
national Republican party. It may to
some appear improbable, but none need be
surprised if in the next national campaign
great numbers OF Southern Democrats de-
clare for the party that, in the truest sense,
represents the highest intelligence aud a
pronounced hostility to the communistic
sentiment.

The Red Bluff Peoples Cause regrets
that the bitterness and prejudice. of the
San Francisco Chronicle against railroads
prevents it &" from telling the truth at all
times" 1t is more surprising that the
Cause should be surprised, since the his
tory of the Chronicle is what it is. That
it should assault the line of road pushing
toward the Oregon line was precisely what
might have been expected. That it should
disparage the route, is only consistent with
its selfish course. The Cause is indignant
that the sheet referred to should pronounce
the route hot, dusty and disagreeable, ="
and asks, "could there be anything more
disgusting to the minds of intelligent, rea-
sonable men than this dirty false fling at
the Railroad Company? 1t is a direct,
bold insult to the people of the great Sac
ramento valley through which two lines of
road run, and an injury to that entire Sec
ton of country. The building of the road
from Redding to the State line will be a
great achievement of skill, enterprise and
engineering, and will open up public high
way that will be of incalculable advantage
to all this northern country" Let our
northern contemporary compose itself.
Nothing the sheet it quotes can say will
mar the prospects of the Sacramento val
ley. It has no influence in that direction,
and little in any other. Its animus
is well understood, and the people have
taken its measure to hairs breadth

A CASE RgBUKINa AMgRIcA.

1t is safest to do right, and aside from
the moral obligation, it may be said in de-
Tense of the nuch-assaulted proverb that
honesty is really the very best policy.
What is true of individuals is true Of na-
tions. England has taken from US : man
named Wadge, alias Archer, alias TenpiAr.
Once in England, Is is discovered that he
was eztradited on trumped.up charge OF
forgery, made by one of his bondsusen on
a charge for non-exsraditable otfense, and
of which he alleges he is not guilty. Bat
for all that he cleared SIT and left his asil
in the luroh. Now his ssreties claim that
as he was always const-uetively in their
custody, and is now really in hand, they
can surrender him to the officers, and thus
he may be held, despite the sxtradition
treaty. Some Of the judges ard lawyers
give color 60 this plea. Thus the common
law right Of " bail surrender cones into
conflict with the " law eff asylum" Bat
Americans viii never consent that the
doctrine contended for shall obtain in ex-
tradition cases. Most sssuredly they will
