The lila California takes some pride in
the benefaciions of some of the many
times millionaires OF that State. Senator
Fairs donation OF 2 site for building for
the Boys and Girls Aid Society was 8
substantial aid to a worthy society, and
now is followed by Mr.. Charles Crocker's s
gift of S3l 900 to build thereon g
suitable structure for the beuevo-
lent work of the society. These
gentlemen are acting upon nOJlesSe
obIige, in a way suggestive to others upon
whom Fortunes smile has been q broad
and continuous grin. "When," says the
Alta, "all the plans for education, charity
and the promotion of enterprise, put in
motion by Senator and Mrs. Stanford, Mr..
and Mrs. Crocker, Senator Fair, Mr.. Flood,
Col. Peter Donahue and others of our
wealthy folk. are perfected, It will sppear
that DUR California people of fortune are
not at all behind thoss of other States in
generosity to those objects which must
look to such sources for endowment"

THERE is great fear entertained in
Canada that bloodshed will yet result from
the anita onisms begotten by the murder
OF Riel by order of the Canadian Governor
General. Race feeling runs high, and the
efigies OF leading members Of the Cabinet
and other high officials have been
burned by nobs of FrenCh-speaking
people who believe that the En-
glish were guided in all that they
have done in the Riel matter by hate and
opposition TO them. The English-speak-
ing people have possession OF the armories
in the cities of Quebec, Montreal and
Toronto and all the leading towns, and
occupy the leading positions in ali the
military organizations, and they are de-
terminsd to suppress the mobs and
nut down the mob spirit. The
French sTe equally defiant, but,
not being SO well prepared, in case
Of an encounter must suffer severe
ly. This condition of things is not con-
ducivo to the harmonious future 50 essen
tial to the peace and prosperity OF the Do'
minion. But the Marquis Of Lansdowne
and his ministers are alone 10 blame. By
tempering justice with mercy they might
have avoided all this rumpus eud at the
same time have maintained the dignity of
the government.

a COUPLE OF HORSE-THIEyES
Rescued by Their Pals Ia the Indian
Territory.

Tulsa, IND. T., November I9.-Two days
ago two noted horse-thieves, ] John Truston
and Silas Davis, were arrested near Tulsa.
Immediately on learning of their arrest
posse OF cattlemen met near the southeast
boundary of the Sac and Fox reservation,
intending to seize the horse-thieves and
hang them as the officers passed that way.
Tie de6peTadoes OF this section, hearing of
the intention to hang their pale, made
bold dash Tuesday evening, rescued them
from Marshal Curtis and three Caddo In
dians, when they were about twelve miles
from this place with the prisoners, en-
route to the Wichita agency. Among the
rescuing party were the notorious Trust
ons, brothers Of John Truston, and Frank
Starr, an outlaw from Texas, who
has killed six men. Two outlaw Cherc=
kee Indians also assisted the despera-
does. They overpowered Deputy Curtis and
his Indian guards robbed Curtis of all his
money, two horses, and secured the dep
Hty and three guards, and left them in the
bushes. The desperadoes then visited the
Sac and Fox Agency, and, ending Agent
Neil absent, raided the win ge, stealing
many horses, and frightening the Indian
women almost to death. Several Indians
who attempted to resist the desperadoes
were shot down, and it is believed two are
killed. Among the wounded is Charlie
Keokuk, the sixteen-year-old son OF Keo-
kuk, head chief of the Sac and Fox tribes.
The desperadoes all escaped with their
plunder.

such occasions. Woman should he the

The election in England, writs for
which were issued by the Queens order
on Wednesday, must come off not later
than nine days nor less than three days
from the receipt of the writs by the re-
turning officers of the counties and bor-
oughs, a method which tends to prolong
the election over an unnecessarily long
space Of time, generally a week.
There are about 700 seats to be
filed, and of these the London Daily Ne,0s
comedies so to the Home Rulers, go to
the Tories and 400 to the Liberals. This
would give Mr.. Gladstone majority OF
100, and make him independent of Parnell.
But should he fall short of this gay $50
votes, Mr.. Parnell would virtually be mas
ter of the situation, and could compel or
force the legislat on he has said he would
demand for Ireland.

Gov. FOSTER of Ohio, Calico Charley
is very strong candidate against John
Sherman for the United States Senator
ship from that State, and with some pros
pect of success. The Republican majority
on joint ballot is very small, and as there
are number of members bitterly opposed
to Sherman, it is just possible that if Fos-
ter can control half dozen Republicans he
may get the Democratic vote, and thus
achieve triumph. This is not impossible
The Democrats of Ohio would very much
rather see Foster elected to the Senate than
Sherman, the bitter and fsnatical bloody
shirt partisan.

THE speech of the Emperor of G ermany
on opening the Reichstag yesterday was
very conservative and moderate in tone.
He accepts The Pope's mediation in the
matter of the Caroline Island, and is hope
ful that the war between Servia and Bal
garia will not spread beyond its pres
ent limits or involve any of tl1
great powers. He has much to say
about the spread of German commerce
but not one word about the brutal impol-
icy Of Bismarck in driving the Russian
jews out of the empire. He has great
confidence in Gods blessing, but not one
word about Gods curse, which, if such a
thing were possible, ought to fall heavily
upon a nation so utterly defiant of mod
dern civilization and common justice.
