& BIT OF CRITICISM.

The Hour INDUCES in a criticism upon
the want of felicity of our friends, the re-
porters, who indulge in adjectival descrip-
tons of suicide. Thus, they uniformly
use some such descriptive word as sad F."
before the word suicide" 1t hints that
while there may be laughter not joyous,
that there can be no suicide that is not
sad. There may be degrees of sadness,
it admits, varying according to the environ
ment which urged the victim on; but sad
ness and suicide are so bound together and
interwrought in the ultimate tibers of their
identity that serious contemplation of self
slaughter by one who intends to commit it,
generally presupposes sadness upon his
part, of the most narrowing kind. This
criticism, we take it, is unjust. The Hour,
being a critical journal or nothing, should
not in its estimate have fallen so short of
the real purpose of the use of the word
" sad, or other adjectival Interpretation.
and have laid itself open to the charge
of captiousness When the newspaper re-
porter employs the expressions sad suicide"
or shocking self-murder," etc, he does
not intend thereby to describe the state of
mind in which the victim of his own in
sanity took his life. The purpose is, and
the average reader so receives it, to refer to
the consequent conditions-to the effect
upon the beholder of the remains or of
the act itself; the abnormal state of mind
induced ia those who learn of the affair or
who write of its repulsive details. 1t is
the atmosphere of sadness surrounding the

YESTERDAYS TRIBUTE-PAYING

The general observance of Decoration
Day yesterday throughout the Union testi-
fed 10 fund of patriotic sentiment liz the
hearts Of the people, for which the politi-
ical demagogue and the chronic grumbler
at our institutions and their defects do net
give them credit. This IS not an migrate
ful people. They are not forgetful Of the
trials through which the cause of freedom
and the right to self-government have
passed. They are not Indifferent to the
claims Of patriotic memories nor has there
been among them decadence Of patriotism.
If the integrity of the nation should be
assaulted tomorrow, the youth, manhood
and vigor Of the country, ignoring all
other issues than that involving the sa-
credness Of the union of States and the
vitality Of free government, viii fly to
arms in defense of the nation as promptly
as al any tine in the past, and the great
national heart of the country viii beat
responsive TO their act. The observance
Of yesterdays day Of tribute TO soldierly
yalor and patriotic devotion was not i'm
tied merely to tribute-paying to the mem
DRY Of the soldier dead. Every wreath
placed testified to love Of coun-
try; every flower lovingly laid
upon the sod bore witness to a tender
devotion capable of rising into the
majesty Of awful war in defense of coun-
try; every flag that went to half-mast
yesterday dropped not only in honor of the
gallant dead, but foated aloft to bear wit
ness to the fact that patriotic hearts are
MOI fewer, and do not pulsate less strongly
now than two decades ago. when the life
of the Union was at stake. Decoration
Day Is growing into our system as an ami
versary occasion upon which there shall
be a renewal of patriotism from the
eternal fires that burn upon the affairs of
the national heart. 1t will, with each year,
grow into broader significance, and become
more and more emphatically day for re-
newal Of patriotic VOWS, and the outward
manifestation before the children of the
land as a lesson to them, of the love of
country that animates patriots. Yesterdays
tribute paying, yesterdays cessation from
business, yesterdays national holiday,
added to the material strength Of the ma
ton and served to recall men from parti-
san struggles to the loftier purposes of
American citizenship, and so doing, ii was
one of the best and richest days Of all the

The "HERALD'S" THREAT.

The assault of the New York Herald
upon Mr., Blaine, reported by telegraph
because he IS opposed to unrestricted Chi
nese immigration, is surprise That
journal declares that the Republican party
dare not nominate Mr. Blaine, because he
entestains that belief, and adds of the
Republican party wishes to prove to the
country how utterly all its old principles
are played out in the present policy, it had
better 80 ahead and nominate Blaine, if
it dares, on the Denis Kearney platform"
This is journalistic clap-;rap, and the Her
aid writer who penned it knows It to lie
so. The present opposition 10 Chinese in
migration is not based on Kearneyisn. !:
arose after Kearneyism died ont, and it is
not even remotely related to it. Is IS
deliberate, cool, solid, honest Judgment of
the vast mass Of the men of the Pacific
coast. 1t is no: political question in
California, but a question Of civilization
Less than a year ago the Herald itself was
protesting against the landing at the port
of New York Of immigrants Of classes which
are Objectionable, such as paupers, con-
tirmed inyalids, Migrants, decrepit persons,
etc.-all likely to become charges upon the
public. The Herald does not lack for
words or reasons to show why such imnli-
grants should be excluded. Califor-
MIA objects to the introduction
among her people of class of
scrvile laborers on analogous grounds,
and because they add nothing to the
country, contribute in no material way to
its strength, its moral advancement or polit-
ical or social progress; an element that can
not and does not assimilate with our people,
and the habits and methods of which drive
from us a desirable class of citizens and
tends to pauperize the white laborer who
remains. Because Mr.. Blaine believes it
wise TO put reasonable restrictions upon
the incoming of such a class, the Herald
gives notice that he must be slaughtered |
But we venture the prediction that the
Herald viii find itself to the rear of public /
sentiment, ard that the people Of the

NOT SUFFICIENT.

1t is understood that the correspondence
of Minister Young with the State Depart
ment assures our Government that there IS
no need to amend the Chinese immigra-
ton restriction bill, because the Imperial
Government Of China has given its word
that no more fraudulent certificates shall
be issued. This Is insufficient. 1t is not
the proper guarantee. As to what is q
proper certificate, may make an issue be-
tween the Chinese Government and our
own. Moreover, it is not the right way to
adjust international affairs. The deter
mination Of the right Of an immigrant to
land must be made at the point of landing.
There can be no assurance given that the
Government of China will remain in It's
present state Of mind for eight years to
come. The administration of Imperial
affairs may be in very different hands be-
fore the expiration Of that period Be-
sides, 1t IS necessary to amend the bill
to settle local matters definitely, such as
the cost Of the return of immigrants, their
custody pending challenge of the right to
land, etc, and to make the measure effect
i've against the passage of Chinese from
countries other than China, into ours
1t is to be hoped that Congress will not be
led into inactivity because of the CORE
spondence referred to- Some criticisms of
Mr.. Young, rather severe in tone, have
been made on this account, but it is prob
able that in making the communication
to him, he has simply discharged
a ministerial duty, his Office being a proper
avenue for the communication of an ex-
preston Of the Chinese Government to our
own

JACKSON SCHOOL. = A correspondent
writes as follows from Elk Grove
Thursday, May 29th, was a very busy
and pleasant day in the Jackson School, OF
which Mrs. Osborn formerly Miss Fannie
Parker is teacher. That day the Superin-

the following pupils prizes for regular at

Daniel Buell., Eddie Taylor, Dora Lea,
George Nishe Eliza Lea, Richard Lea, An

medal was then awarded TO Paul lie Boyd,
after which followed addresses by the Su-
perintendent and others, who all expressed
themselves as pleased with what the pupils
had done during the past year. The
school then adjourned for the summer va

The war on lewd publications, exposure OF
indecent pictures, and the sale of flash sheets,
has opened in San Francisco. We are not
ready to believe it an earnest battle there as
yet. But why not begin active operations in

that the people viii awaken to the dangers OF
the evil assailed, and that the time of the
awakening is very near at hand The move
meut needs to be purely independent and sec
ular one It will be unfortunate for the desired
reform if it becomes struggle between
churches and religionists on the one side and
the promoters of pestiferous literature on the
other for in that case the usual cry against
church viii be raised. This matter is one of
local police regulation, of street decency, of
common morality and propriety, of ordinary re-
spectGbility and good manners, and should en-
gage the labors of every man SO blessed as to be
a father, and who respects his daughters purity
and his sons integrity.

Journalism. it would work cut, as 1t can,
the inter extinction of seven-tenths Of all
the trash of the modern drama, which has
not the right, in this country at least, TO
the claim Of being q great influence. Mr..
Irving ought to know that the stage is not

our civilization. 1t does not influence our

with rehashed European sensations" and
American emptiness and folly in the shape

Mr.. Irving dogmatically puts it, the ex-

comprehensive character. Il is quite the
reverse, and the surprise is that Mr. Irving
knowing this, should lend himself to the
illumination of platitude that has behind
it the apology of Only few grains Of truth.
The press cannot afford to accept the part

that Mr. Irving charges upon it.

Of spectators, the feeling of horror awak-

is true the use of words descriptive of the

plusage, since all suicide is deplorable, yet
to omit all adjectival characterization
would reduce reports to a degree of cold

whole. 1t was but wing of the party that
favored the movement, and members of the
other wing baked its success. If the extra ses-

& SPASM OF VIRTUE.
A San Francisco paper, in the course ofa
ing article on the subject some days ago,

A San Francisco paper, in the course OF 6
long article on the subject some days ago,
said:
ANY one who viii traverse & few streets OF San
Francisco with an investigating spirit and OBJ
servant eve viii discover state OF affairs 2S 10
pictures which approach and plunge into the
obscene. Many OF the pictures are displayed IN
shop windows-in cheap book stores tor the
most part-but the majority of them are under
cover The vendors carefully conceal the most
striking ones, and the manufacturers are not
willing to be known on account OF the law; but,
nevertheless, a large trade is carried on IN
moderate secresy and il would make bald
head vince TO peer into the Photographic es-
Establishments of this town sometimes, In the
groups that congregate before shop WINDOWS 10
look at startling photographs, men and boys OF
all social grades, shop girls and school girls are
TO be seen as well as an occasional woman OF
high position who glances hastily and passes
by The groups are entertained with copies OF
celebrated paintings, actresses photographs aHq
a sprinkling of pictures that ought to be DUBBED
naughty.
On the heels Of this it is now announced
that the Chief of Police of San Francisco
proposes at an early day to begin raid for
the suppression of the exhibition and sale
of lewd pictures. 1t is suggestive that the
announcement was made only after the
press opened its batteries-as We have
quoted II the Chief is in earnest he viii
arrest the proprietor of about every news
stand in San Francisco, since there is not
one who is not guilty, if he exposes for sale
any of the fash journals of the day. But
this is only spasn of virtue. Il viii not
last long. 1t will be soon over, and sooner
forgotten. The law is weak, and public
interest in the matter Of the demoraliza-
ton going on among the youth Of the land
is not yet sufficiently awakened. The time
will come, however, and it is not far dis
tant, when we viii blush that such state
Of affairs was for moment tolerated as
now exists.
