still living and practicing who may remember
his demurrer to series of pleas under the old
system, that were largely formed on the Kettle
pattern, by ex-Judge Stephen Major, and his
witty speech in support of his objections, and

Turkey is reported to be making active
preparations for war. but current &C.
counts OF the state of her military estab.
lishment do not convey an impression
that the Roumelians need fear an imme-
date and overwhelming attack from that
quarter. The nominal strength OF the
Adrianople garrison, holding the most
important position near the frontier, and
really the key of Constantinople, is
l, 1000 men. It's actual strength, how.
ever, is found to be not more than half
that, while the men Of that fragment are
said to be without shoes or uniforms, aud
the cavalry without horses. Under the
circumstances the Sultan's military
authorities will necessarily make haste
very slowly in any b~elligerent movement

ABAD CONDITION OF AFFAIRS.

That times are dull in California and
labor scarce for the working masses is
evident from the complaints that come
to us through many of our Golden State
exchanges. Some of the San Francisco
papers are led to speak Of the many
thousands OF men who are left unem.
p!oyed by the cessation Of harvest work
by the large number appearing on the
streets there already. "The labor Of most
of these men is utterly wasted so far as
the community is concerned, and their
idleness is a menace to the public peace"
Speaking Of the idle men in Nevada City,
the Herald says: "There is a gang OF
toughs in this city, too, just now, and If
they are not forced to seek other quar-
tiers soon their numbers will surely in
crease, aud burglaries. robberies and
other crimes be of nightly occurrence.
1t is a deplorable state of affairs when
the citizens of any community find it
necessary to arise in their might and
quell certain existing evils that the law
and officers thereof seem unable to abate;
vet such action is Outlines accompanied
with good and lasting results. OF late
there has been considerable talk about
the n-umerousness of hard characters in
this city, and the feeling that something
should be done to rid the town of their
presence, is becoming stronger every day.
The sneak thieves, footpads, pickpockets
and pimps that are driven out OF other
places are learning that Nevada City
offers them a haven, and ID will not be
long before the place is overrun with
this element, if it is not already. We
apprehend that if the citizens make a
move in this matter it will be a deter.
mined one and not in the nature of mere
idle threats.

The lovers of Chinese cheap labor ought
to emigrate to Pekin where they can en-
ploy a hundred slavish toilers cheaper
han they can bring them here. If the
Chinese cheap labor advocates prevail it
is simply a question of time when Ameri'
can institutions will be like those OF
China with all their disgusting elements.
You cannot have self.respecting citizens,
and at tine same time have your labor
performed by willing slaves. Therefore
no argument can be made in favor
of bringing Chinese slave labor on Ameri-
can soil to undermine and e~nslave the

They deserted their palatial home a
couple of weeks ago and began to syste-
matically starve the great enemy out, while
they were tramping after pine nuts and
watching for wood piles and cold grub. At
last the starvation was supposed to have
been effected, and for the last few days the
