NOT A PRINCIPLE.

The two gentlemen who, in the lower
House of Congress, made such vigorous
assaults upon the Chinese restriction bill,
have been made the subjects of some severe
criticism We believe they were thor
oughly conscientious. They had nothing
to gain or lose by the defeat of the bill, or
its passage, nor could it possibly affect
their constituents for many years one way
or the other. Mr.. Hit really advanced
the thought and sentiment of great body
of his people, that makes them pro-Chinese
the idea that the exclusion bill is
opposed to the traditions of the country
and is in violation of what has been sup
posed, but incorrectly, to be one of the
corner-stones of the national fabric, that
this is a free house of refuge, in which
whomsoever will possesses a right. But
the truth is becoming more broadly mani
fest daily that the American people
do not recognize this as a
principle and never have. 1t has
been dogma of the stump and for the
Fourth of July orators, but is not to be
found in our political superstructure, or
our constitutional SubStructure. The popu-
lar belief to the contrary-now relaxing
has been the cause ofmuch evil to the coun-
try. 1t has belittled us abroad quite as
much as it has popularized us; it has given
us very loose system of naturalization
laws, and has made political demagogy and
yenality ruling powers. We are, however,
on the eve Of two important events-the
distinct announcement to the whole world
that we reserve the right to say what per-
sons shall sit at our hearthstone, and the
reform of the naturalization laws, to the
end that the process of becoming citizen

CHRIS. BUCKLEY is whipping in - very lively
in the Democratic County Committee of san
Francisco He rallied his henchmen on Thurs
day night and they followed orders and voted
censure upon the Legislators who refused to bow
down before this political god of a Bjish-street
rum mill. It is singular how little such cut-and-
dried boss demonstrations affect the people.
The truth is Buckley Democrats represent no.
body but Buckley. They are neither of the
chivalry nor the shovclry, and are entitled to
speak neither for the old hard-shell Southern
Democrats, the self-relecting workingmcn of
the party, nor the conservative Democrats. who
retain their independence OF spirit and are
honest of conviction.

THERE is petition going about in San Fran
cisco for presentation to the Democratic State
Central Committee that means rebellion against
the Buckley Hearst-Foote boss regime. 1t starts
out by saying A crisis has arrived in the
affairs of the Democratic party in this city.
Something must be done or all hope of success
in November is at an end. The curse of boss
rule has become intolerable one-man power
in its worst form threatens the ruin and disgrace
of the party" That's about the length and
breadth of the truth of the matter.

THE TRIUMPH OF FRANCE.

The treaty which France has Just made
with China comedies everything the former
demanded of the latter, except, perhaps,
the money indemnity originally insisted
upon. But this France never expected to
receive. The demand was weapon only,
and she used it for purpose. A year ago
we pronounced the claim of China of suze-
rainty over Anam shallow pretense.
China now confesses that it was sham.
We then pointed out that the French
would be justified in extending their pro-
tectorate over Anam, and now China con-
sents to it, and the Anamese are pleased to
accept it. A year ago we expressed our be-
lief that the delta of the Red river would
be cleared, and the stream itselfopened up
anew to commerce, and now it is announced
as accomplished. Instead of frontier line
of gong-beating garrisons, and a war along
the border, three Chinese provinces are to
be opened up to trade, and this at the de-
mand of the French. The Black Flags
have been dispersed, the Chinese sent
about their business, commercial property
protected, a safe government set up and
peace assured, and all through the wise
policy of the French republic Yet the
most of our own journals but little while
age doubted that policy, and expressed
fears that France would fail, and even
went so far as to hold that her claims were
untenable, and should not receive the coun-
tenance of the nations of the world But
success has crowned the efforts of the
French republic, civilization has triumphed
over semi-barbarism, and the Oriental has
again been taught that treaty rights must
be respected, and the property and persons
of foreigners not be given up to the frenzy
of mobs, or to plundering by banditti

THE unburied corpse of the extra session
stinks in the nostrils of decent men. Hearsts
pestiferous sheet proposes to have it exposed on
the Towers of Silence; but even the ordinary
political yuitures turn from it with an ache
at the pit of the stomach. In other words,
George Hearst and Clarence Greathouse,
the chiefs OF communistie quartet that
sought TO throttle the State, are de-
termined to bring the purifying cadayer into
the Stockton Convention, and pointing to its
rottenness, exclaim, "See what the monopoly
has done" That is the game; and it is proposed
to make the Democratic party Join in it, and
shed crocodile tears over what the slam bang
writers of the Chicago Times would call an UNI
sepulched stiff; a body of historic putrefaction
without bowels that win be paraded in dumb
show by an agglomeratin of ringed, streaked
and. speckled Chivs calling themselves Demo
Gratis, in the vain hope of enkindling political
rage against the Central Pacific Railroad Com
pany. And why? Forsooth because that conf
pany rested upon its rights and trusted to the

THERE is no sadder sight than to witness the
decadenCe of brains. That is what recently
happened to ex-Chief Justice Wallace. We de-
eiared that his ambition to sit in the Assembly
was justifiable and honorable. But once there
he threw himself body and boots into the arms
of a political dude, and his master a political
boor, and the result was prostitution of brains
to the advancement of the greeey ambition of Il
rich ignoramus and selfsuffcient would-be
leader The flat failure that followed must now
be bolstered up by the Stockton Convention. We
really hope that body viii attempt to pack the
load and uphold the mangled remains for
nothing could be better for the Republican
party. The latter organization attempted
smaller job of that kind not very long ago, and
got its ears warmed into wisdom. The day of
denagogues has gone by Railroad issues are
to be settled by the common sense of an honest
people, who will kick the Democratic body
where ii win do the most good, and set their
seal upon its wounds for being priyy to the in
famous conspiracy of the Hearst gang.

A SrRAIGHT-oUT coast Democratic paper, but
one that thinks for itself, says when the Erdu-
iper takes snuff its satellites must make the
country roar with their sneezing. That may be,
but somehow they do not do it,. The sncezing
has been very tame thus far. If the country
press is to be believed, the interior Democrats
think and most speak profanely whenever
Hearst organ is named. But the up-country
paper draws picture worth reproduction when
it declares that Governor Stoneman was hound
ed TO his own political death by the gang, in
order to get him out of the way. 1t was Il Hearst
Foote- Wallace Examiner combination to kill
him off, and to that extent the extra session was
a success But mark it, Billee Foote will not be
Governor, George Hearst will not be Senator,
the gentle Wallace will not succeed Farley.
This evidently is the way our Sonoma Demo-
cratic contemporary puts it, when it confesses
that it is a cold day and somebody will be left,
and adds: Our hopes now rooSt high and away
above the eorrupting influence of official posi-
ton. Won't the Salvation Army folks or some
body else come here and start Il revival Won't

luton, nstructing our Congressman to ask the
