Mexican Soldiers Mutiny and Murder


SAN Francisco, Jan. l3.--The Chroni-
cle's San Diago, California, special says:
A courier arrived to-day with dispatch
for the Mexican consul, stating that
Mexican soldiers stationed at Enseneda,
Mexico, eighty-iivc miles south OF here,
mentioned Friday night last, murdered
their captain, name not given, his vile
and several other persons. They then
fled in body, taking their arms and
ammunition with them. The band num-
bered 40 men. A telegram was sent to
the captain ofthe gunboat "Democrata,"
which has been living at this port, to
come to their assistance, but the vessel
had sailed for San Fransisco. Applica-
ton was then made to a captain oi the
United States Eighth infantry 10 for
ward such assistance as would pre-
vent depredations along the boundary
line. The request was promptly
granted. Mexican citizens are greatly
alarmed, as the mutineers are known To
be a desperate lot.
A later dispatch, just received, says
the mutineers passed near Campo, Mex
leo, and were making for United States
tarritOry

last night. While drinking no would
state that at the proper time no would
| tell things about ths burning OF The
stable he did not tell at the exanining
trial. At the tiHe he WAS killed he
was carrying two sticks OF WOOD
at the woodward Of the courthouse,
The parties who perpeirated this helm
ous crime evidently had been watching
his movements and were hid behind a
carpenter shop, and when he passed by
began 10 shoot him. Six balls pene-
trated the body, i've Of them IN the
back aud one in front. Two of the shots
must have been fired after he was pros
trated on the ground, as MS hesi was
balls out OF the body; one was II and
the other u ~ Winchester ball. Night
watchman j, A, Johnson was just max
ing round OF the town and WAS behind
block of buildings when the shooting
was done. The reports seemed 10 him
To be at or near one Of the saloons,
aud he ran there Immediately
and learned that nothing oi me
kind had happened there. Had ho
been minute or two later In
crossing the street running north and
east of tho courthouse, he would have
met the parties, as two moro were seen
passing tho courthouse Immediately
after the shooting, going east, Esquire
Riddle summoned jury Of inquest,
which wns in session most of tho day,
taking written testimony. What their
verdict was the writer has not learned.
The deceased was buried this evening
at the county's expense. He leaves u
wiio and five children In destitute cir
cumstances. The murder has cast
gloom over the town all day, as many
have expressed the opinion tnat one Is
not safe In life or property who knows
aught of the criminal acts of class who
formerly held the balance OF power in
this county. But times have changed
in Vernon aud Wilburger county. We
have many good people who are deter
mined that law and order shall pre-
vail, and that incendiarism and
assassination will and shall ne stopped.
IL courts and law officers are unable to
bring tho guilty parties TO justice Judge
Lynch will be called upon 10 sit in jGdg-
ment on some cases. We hope for the
name OF our town, county and good
people that such may. not be the ease,
but the good citizens are determined
To rule, and rule they will. Desperate
causes require desperate remedies, and
if need 10 they will be applied.

SOUTH BEND, IND., Jan. l3.-The cause
of this mornings riot was that the mill
men who struck last night, and who are
mostly Poles, to-day marched TO the
plow works in body and compelled all
employees to stop work. A riot cnsucd
and number OF shots were exchanged,
and several were frightfully
pounded and beaten. 1t is
not as yet known whether
any were fatally shot or injured. Busi-
ness is suspended and the excitement is
intense.

REALITY IN THE DRAMA.

Julian Magnus, in the last Century,
makes strong plea for reality in plays
| Theatrical managers are not now making
money. The invasion by foreign stars, and
decline of interest in the drama, are given
by them as the causes. But the essayist
strikes the right key when he attributes
the failing business Of the managers to the
distaste of the public for old things, worn
and uninteresting. While all the world of
thought has been progressing, the theatre
cal managers have been running along in
grooves they should long since have aban-
doned. Magnus alleges that the dramatic
food rendered now is not so good, indeed,
as it was ten years ago. We think this is
error. The difference is in the cultivated
taste of the people. What gratifed the
dramatic taste in the modern drama de-
cade ago pals upon it now. He
is right when he says that stage
methods are now SO familiar to play -goers,
that there can be no more receptions, and
about all there is in illusion and scenic
effect has been exhausted. What the peo-
pie want now is less of stage effect for
effects sake, and more of reality-a closer
approach to nature and the abandonment
of the improbable and unreal. We need
to get away from "novel situations" and
startling episodes" on the stage, and up
to the life action and thought of the day.
Men wish to see life as they find it, re-
Elected in the drama They want more of
art in their plays and less of fiction. They
will applaud the appeal to the reason and
the intelligence, in place of the appeal to
the passions and prejudices, the sympathies
and the emotions. Mr.. Magnus holds that
the demand is for recognizable character :;
that OF character-acting this people Is
especially fond, and this, of course is
because of the growing love for the true
and the natural in the drama, which must
hereafter conform to the experiences of
modern life. Behind all this will forever
stand the old dramati5ts and their i'm
perishable works. But for the modern
drama, it must be modern in every essen
tial, treat of types of men as they are now
known, and of things as they are with
naturalness and vigor The French school
of the drama has, We think, had its success
| full day in America. The age may be an
extravagant one, but the lovers of the
drama as Magnus holds, want reality
pictured upon the stage. The literature
OF the play must be up to the thinking
and reading thought of the day, and the
action Of the drama must conform to the
probable, as men judge it by present lights.

MEXICO is bidding for Chinese laborers
and offers bounty of S25 per head to
steamship companies for bringing them to
the country. A steamship line is to be at
once established between Manzanillo and
Acapulco and the chief ports of China,
with a view of fostering the desired imm-
grafton. The Chinese are desired in the
coffee and sugar plantations. The coolies
are to be contracted for for term of ten
years, and assured of Government protec-
ton. They are to be paid $50 a month,
and their fare to the country is to be COW
cred by the subsidy granted to the steam
ship company. British capital will put up
the vessels and run them, and British
pockets Will receive the proits. This &C
ton may divert the tide Of immigration
from California, but not for long. 1t will
expose us to new danger-the crossing OF
the border by the Chinese. In the nature
of things they will not long remain in
Mexico. The opportunities to make
money there are less inviting than those
this side of the line That Mexico will
find the Chinese so Objectionable as do we,
is not to be expected; but in time they
will become antagonistic to even Mexican
civilization.

a frank admission that the Republican
party is so grounded that it can and will
live under the practice Of the civil service
reform, while the Democracy has nothing
10 hope for from that advance step in the
theory and practice of government. The
Courier says
Civil service is mighty nice and Mr. Pendle-
ton, of Ohio, its author. deserves q medal
whether of leather or something more durable
We leave disappointed office-seekers to de-
termine. But while splendid in theory il is
abominable in practice. The men who have
worked and spent their money in elections for
over twenty years to change the administration
are not at all pleased at seeing most of the Of
fees filed by the very men who called them all
sorts of disgraceful names, and spent their own
and Uncle Sans morey TO keep them out in the
cold. We say again, civil service is good in
theory, but for practical purposes it don't pan
out worth u cent Strictly enforced, it will de-
stroy the life of the Democratic party. 1t has
beaten us in Ohio, will defeat us in New York
and destroy our chances for the next Presi-
deney. The Mugwumps of the next Presidential
office-seeking Democrats and their many friends.
General jackson was right, " To the victors be-
long the spoils" and the spoils are the great in
ducement for men, especially politicians, to
work. We have no doubt about President
uevelands honesty of purpose in this matter,
but if, as now indicated. the law is faithfully
carried out, it will result in the utter defeat of
the Democratic party in 1885, and possibly in its
final disruption.

THERE is need for the interference of
humane nations in the affairs of Morocco.
The authorities of that locality are again
practicing their fendish outrages upon
prisoners. So great have been these cruel
ties that the representatives of foreign
powers are entering their protests and
appealing to their Governments to call u
halt. As an instance: Recently the police
authorities of Morocco had woman. who
was enceinte, publicly hogged. Her arms
were tied together, drawn over her head,
and the rope was fastened to stake to
hold her in that position. The lashes
were laid on so heavily that blood flowed
freely from the unfortunate creatures
back, her aged father and unhappy hus-
band being compelled to witness her terri
bic sufferings. An English lady took the
poor creature 10 her home and nursed her
through all her subsequent slferings.
Foreign residents allege that charges are
trumped up against innocent persons, who
are arrested and inhumanly treated, and
these atrocities have reached such stage
that the resident foreigners have all signed
a petition asking that immediate inter-
ference be made by civilized nations.

DEMOCRATS should not deceive them
selves with the hope that the Endorsement
of the Democratic nominee for Mayor of
Brooklyn, by the Young Republicans of
that city, means swallowing of the whole
Democratic ticket. The truth is that the
Republicans of Brooklyn believe in di-
vorcement of municipal government from
politics. Acting upon this principle they
have resolved to support the Democratic
nominee for Mayor, because that nomina-
ton gives greater promise of final ac-
complishment Of the ends of the municipal
reform movement. For precisely that
reason they would have, if they could
now, wholly independent candidate in
the field.

A DISCUSSION is progressing upon the
topic how do the blind dream. A dream
in its fanciful picturings cannot proceed as
to objects, beyond that which is known to
the senses. Since the blind have no ad-
equate conception of color, nor any accur-
ate one of form, and are limited to their
ideas Of objects by the sense of touch and
the judgment Of the informed intellect,
their dreams will be commensurate with
this knowledge. Both Mr.. Jones, in the
National Rerfew, and DIR. Youmans,
in the Popular Science Monthly, are agreed
upon this, concerning which there can be
no debate. 1t is difficult, therefore, to
understand why the question should not
be considered closed.

lT seems strange that the bankers of
America have no system of correspondence
worthy Of the name with the banking
houses Of Austro-Hungary. We have be-
fore us the report of Consul General Jussen
to the State Department, in which he de-
clares that one Of the great needs for the
extension of our tradewith that country is
the establishment of direct connection and
correspondence by American banking
houses with those of Vienna and the chief
cities of Austro-Hungary. Thus, he tells
the Secretary of State, that up to this day
the American dollar is not mentioned
among the quotations at the Vienna
Bourse, and that exchange on New York
is irregular and of uncertain value, and
the sale of draft on America, even if
drawn on the United States Treasury, is
accompanied by an unreasonable loss in
the shape of discount or charges for collec-
ton.

REFERRING to the fact that the Chinese
donot contribute, to any appreciate extent
to the support of the press, or to the liter
ature Of the country, the Grass Valley
Iidings says:
DR.. Wan Kee used to take this paper, and
every afternoon he would call and get it ut the
office, and the editor or the proprietor which
ever happened to be most convenient would
have to read the paper and explain the con-
tents of it to the eminent physician. DR.. Wau
Kee is now in the Asylum for the Insane at
Stockton. Too much learning made him go
mad
Oh, no, that was not the trouble A far
more potent cause it is evident, upset the
poor fellows mind. We wouldn't vouch
for the ability Of wiser men than Wan Kee
to stand the mental strain to which the
Chinaman was subjected by the Things
people.

against the Democratic party this year. 1t

in New York next week, and ROW the
Western Liquor Manufacturers Associa-
ton, with headquarters at Chicago, has de-
cided to restrict the production of the
whisky mills to one-third of their capacity,
so as to advance the price of high wines.
That is the worst luck yet. Cheap whisky
is the talismanic wand that brings success
TO the Democratic party. and if its " vigor

manner it won't be long before there will
not be Democrats enough left to fill the

There is likely to be " music in the air "
at Atlanta, Ga, on account of the proserip-
ton of the colored race. w. A. Pledge
(colored), editor of the Defiance, has Just
been sentenced to heavy fine and eight
months Imprisonment for exposing dis
examinations made in business against the
colored population. AS soon as the SEN
tence was imposed, an investigation was
entered into to ascertain why there were no
colored men on the jury, and it was found
that from the time the Democratic National
Administration came into power there had
not been name of colored man in the
box from which jurors were drawn. The
colored people are justly indignant at this
outrage against law and race: There are
h,,t t tS1o t .t:. necessary to secure equal
rights in the South, and those are first,
full protection to every voter to cast his
ballot, unmolested as he pleases, and, sec
ond, an honest count of the ballots
after deposited. The declaration in
favor of enforcing these rights, is the
bloody shirt" which Senator Sherman
has been charged with finging to the
breeze in Eastern campaigns this fall, but
forms neither garment which will soon
cease to be despised, and which will again
warm the Republican party into a newness
and oneness, of life upon great principle
of human justice and equality that will
carry with resistless force everything be-
fore it. Senator Sherman has struck the
keynote which will be the battle-cry of
the Republican party until the colored
people of the South are citizens in fact, and
not merely in name
