Sacramento daily record-union. [volume] (Sacramento [Calif.]) 1875-1891, 1885-10-26

An item is going the rounds of the press
to the effect that the President kissed
four-yearold boy-baby a few days since.
That IS right If a man is an old bachelor
and without any children of his own-he
should show respect for continuance of the
race by kissing the baby of somebody else.
1t is to be earnestly hoped that the Presi-
dent will prove true to his expressed de-
termination, to carry out the civil service
views upon which he was elected, if he has
to stand alone in doing so. He cannot con-
slstently take any other course; but the
prospect is that he will have but little
Democratic company in travelling it, ex-
cept the numerous pack of spoils-seekers
dogglng at his heels, beseeching and de-
manding to have the "ins" put out and
the outs put in for the benefit of the
party
The good people at the East who attempt
to harmonic political action with ethical
principles, are discussing the conundrum
How can President Cleveland vote for
Governor Hill, who is in direct antagonism
with the former on civil service reform ?''
1t is tough situation, but Carl Shurz, who
has boxed the political compass oftener than
any man on record, knows how it is him
self to be in such tight places, and from a
fellow feeling born of perilous experience,
says for Cleveland The President is a
Democrat, and it is his privilege to regulate
his relations with his party in his own
way"
The Chinese recently driven ont ofSeattle
have sought safety by fleeing into the
Canadian territory adjoining, and now
the Dominion people are bouncing upon
them for violation of the law which i'm
poses tax of $50, to be paid prior to entry
into that portion of the Queens country.
This last attack is rough deal upon the
poor Chlnaman, and very much resembles
the situation of the aeronaut who having
fallen from his balloon through a skylight
into parlor in badly rumpled condition.
was pitched into by the old woman and
her broom, because he did not knock
before he came in.
The respect paid to the Marquis of Lorne
at a campaign meeting addressed by him
at Brentford, where he is a Liberal caDdi-
date for Parliament, is somewhat defective.
He was treated to altogether too Liberal
a supply of rotten eggs, and his bran new
silk hat was smashed down over his ears.
Becoming alarmed at the intensity the cam
paign had acquired, and Notwithstanding
his party friends at once entered the melee
in his defense, he suddenly remembered
the couplet-
He who fights and runs away,
VIII live to fight another day
and Immediately put it into practice. His
supporters, who had entered the arena to
prevent the Queens son-in-law from being
beaten, now had to take the entire supply
laid in store for the Marquis, much to their
disgust for the bravery of the royal house
hold.
The strike by Chinese cigar-makers in
San Francisco on Friday, to compel a
leading firm OF that city to discharge the
white men it employed in order that their
places might be filled by almond-eyed
laborers, is an interesting nut in the labor
outlook in America for the Eastern senti-
mentalists to crack. The Mongolians have
only to become numerous enough in any
occupation to believe themselves indis-
pensable or in the majority, when they
will not only drive out all white laborers
and the civilization they represent but will
also issue and enforce their demands
against employers. This ACCOMPLISHED.
they will next control the municipalities

seas, and as final outcome will turn the

Americans residing in the United States
