EXPELLING THE CHINESE.

The men OF California and Washington
Territory seem determined to rid them
selves OF the presence of Cinnamon, and
so fixed is that determination that in
many instances they are past reasoning
as to the lawiulness or unlawfulness OF
the means employed for the expulsion of
the coolies.
II is most unfortunate thing for the
country in general, and the Pacific Coast
in particular, that the act restricting Chi
nese immigration was not passed before
the heather arrived on our shores in
numbers sufficient to make his presence
here menace to white laborers. But
they are here, and opposed as we are to
any further importation .oi coolies, we
cannot but condemn the unlawful and
in many instances brutal and muir
derous methods employed to get
rid of them. They came here when,
under the provisions OF the Burlingame
treaty, they had perfect right TO come
and go as they saw fit, and it really
seems as though some method less objec-
tionable than burning them out and
numbering them, should be devised to
secure their exodus.
In California it is proposed to resort to
boycotting, and some OF the most inhu-
entail journals OF that State are calling
upon the citizens to aid in the move,
ment, unless they want "a revolution
that will shake California from San
Diego to Mount Shasta" This indicates
the deep-seated aversion with which
John is regarded there, and the desperate
humor of those who seek to get rid of
him.
In Washington Territory, as related by
press dispatches yesterday, large mobs

entered their houses, packed up their

HE GOT THERE.

The DEMOCRAT was not mistaken yes
terday when it stated its belief that,
despite any scruples the members of the
Peoples party might have at endorsing,
or appearing to endorse, such man as
Solomon for the Office of City Marshal,
they would smother their feelings and
vote him in. The official returns show
that they have done this, and now one of
the chiefs OF the knot-hole brigade is re-
warded with Office simply because he de-
veloped capabilities and tastes that rank
him as creature for whom decent peo-
pie cannot sufficiently express their con-
tempt.
II Beelzebub himself were to ascend
from the neither regions and Mr.. John
Taylor saw fit to order his name to be
placed on municipal ticket for the peo-
pie to vote, it is evident that he would be
elected by large majority, for the very
fact OF voting in such man as the City
Marshal-eect is conclusive evidence that
no objections would be heard to doing n
similar for the old gent himself.
Can't somebody furnish Mr.. Solomon
with superior kind of knot-hole whose
dimensions are large enough to enable
him to crawl into it and pull it in after
him?

1T is A PITY.

Yesterday Marshal Ireland, accom-
panied by large force of deputies, made
descent upon the Gardo House and ad-
jacent buildings in the hope Of finding
John Taylor, and it is to be regretted that
he did not succeed in finding his man.
On the day previous the several resi-
dences OF George @. Cannon were visited
and search instituted for that worthy,
but he, like his ecclesiastical superior,
was not to be found. Taking another
tack, the Marshal now announces that
he will pay reward Of $500 to any per-
son who will furnish information that
will lead to the arrest OF the latter indi-
vidual.
The DEMOCRAT believes that the axe
should be laid at the root, let the chips
fall where they may. The two men here
mentioned, with Joseph f. Smith, con-
stitute the First Presidency of an organi-
zation that has for years set at defiance
the just laws of the country; whose
officers, for the most part, have Sc
cured their religio-political advance
ment only by slavish submission to
the will OF the aforesaid First
Presidency; and whose object is, and has
been, the establishing of an independent
Kingdom within free Republic, so that
under the regime so established, they
might have still more license to enslave
and degrade women and rob the masses.
To further this scheme, these men
have taught the people, by precept
and by personal example, that to break
the laws of the country was no sin, rather
that it was commendable thing to do
and after involving thousands Of men in
trouble, and breaking the hearts of mum.
berless women, these men, coward-like
crawl into their holes to avoid
the punishment that otherwise
would be visited upon them. To effect
their capture, no stone should be
left unturned, and when arraigned at the
bar Of justice to answer for their crimes
as, sooner or later, they certainly will be
they should receive well-merited punish
ment, and be made examples Of to the
extent that the law permits. The teachers
and preachers, in this case, are the ones
who deserve no mercy; it is to be hoped
that they may receive just what they
| deserve.

Tho seven Rib,es or the World.

The seven Bibles of the world are the
Koran of the Mohammedans, the Tri
Pitikes OF the Buddhist, the Five Kings
OF the Chinese, the Three Vedas OF the
Hindoos, the Zendavesta, and the Scrip
lures OF the Christians. The Koran is
the most recent of these, dating about
the seventh century after Christ. II is a
compound of quotations from the Old and
New Testaments, the Talmud and
the Gospel OF st. Barnabas The
Eddas of the Scandinavians, we're
first published in the fourteenth
contain sublime morals and pure aspira-
tons, and their author lived and died In
the sixth century before Christ. There
is nothing of excellence in these sacred
books not found in the Bible. The
sacred writings Of the Chinese are called
the Five Kings, the word liking" moan
ing web of cloth. They contain the
best sayings of the best sages on the
duties OF life. These sayings cannot be
traced farther back than eleven hun
dred years before Christ. The three
Vedas are the most ancient books OF the
Hindoos; and they are believed to date
not beyond eleven hundred years before
Christ. The Zendavesta of the Persians
is the greatest of the sacred books next
to our Bible. Zoroaster, whose sayings 1t
contains, was born in the twelfth CEN
tury before Christ. Moses lived and
wrote the Pentateuch fifteen hundred
years before Christ; therefore that por,,
ton of our Bible is at least three hundred
years older than the most ancient OF other
sacred writings.

SIT DOWN ON THE QUACKs.

A bill is now pending in the Legisla-
ture which has for its object the regula-
tion of the sale and practice OF medicine.
Some such measure has been sadly
needed in Utah for q score Of years past.
This bill makes it misdemeanor for any
person to practice the profession of ply
sician without first obtaining license
from the county court and, when re-
qured, exhibiting his diploma and testi-
flying under oath that he is the party
named therein. So far SO good. But the
bill also contains provision that per-
son desirous OF taking out license to prac-
tice medicine, and having no diploma
from an accredited medical college, shall
be examined by board of medical ad-
visers appointed by the court for the pur-
pose, and shall be granted or refused a
license according as the report Of the ex-
amining board shall be favorable or un-
favorable. This provision should be
stricken out, the reasons therefor being
manifest to all
One of the phenomenal manifestations
OF human nature which is the most diff
ficult to reconcile with human intelli-
gence, is tho readiness with which men
and women of good judgment in matters
of general interest, will place their lives
in the hands of men OF whose ability or
qualifications as physicians they have
not the slightest assurance except the ar
rogant assumptions of the individuals
themselves. No man of average sense
would think of trusting his property in 50
reckless a manner. Before reposing trust
in an individual he would ascertain with
the greatest care all about his integrity
and financial standing; and even then
he would require ample security against
possible loss. But when life and health
are at stake, interests Of infinitely greater
value than any monetary consideration
men who are in all other matters shrewd
and cautious, show the most reckless in
difference to all precautionary considera-
tons.
The prevalence OF this lack OF caution
on the part OF the people OF Utah is, and
has been, great source OF revenue to
quacks and charlatans. These self.
styled "doctors" are as ignorant of the
mysteries OF the human system as they
are of the subtleties of the deferential
calculus, and as INSCRIPTIONS as they
are ignorant. They have no reputation
to lose, and care only to enrich their
pockets.
Again we say, the man who cannot ex-
hibit "A diploma from an accredited medi-
cal college, has no business to practice
the profession of physician, in Utah OF
elsewhere, and under severe penalty the
law should prevent him from so doing.
Salt Lake has, for years past, been sort
OF city OF refuge for INSCRIPTIONS quacks,
who scarcely know the relative proper
tion which the drawing power OF mus
tard plaster bears to that OF locomotive
engine. They shonld be relegated to
their proper sphere without further de

Queer American Workingmen.

The coal, coke and iron bosses of Penn
sylvania who insist that the tariff levied
in their interest is for the benefit Of the
American workingmen are occasionally
exposed very cleverly. Under the de-
vice Of importing labor they have brought
about a deplorable depression in wages,
but at the same time they have revealed
the falsity of their pretense as to the
American workingman. In row OF
some kind in the coke regions the other
day fifteen or twenty men were arrested.
They were striking laborers, presumably
of the American variety, for whose bene-
fit the tariff is levied, and yet they were
no sooner in Jail than they appealed to
the Austro-Hungarian Consul at Pitts
bnrg for relief and he hastened to their
side.
A few years ago when the American
workingman got into trouble he did not
apply to foreign consul for assistance.
1t must be, therefore, that there has been
great change somewhere of Late

TIME WILL TELL.

Upwards OF one hundred indictments,
charging upon divers members OF the
Mormon Church the offenses of polygamy
and unlawful cohabitation, are now pend
ing in the Third District Court.
One would think that by and by the
people who are thus called upon
to suffer for the exercise OF that
which has been taught TO them as "a
religious duty, while. the men who were
the means of involving them in the
trouble take good care to keep their own
precious persons safe from the grasp of
the offended law, would respond to the
promptings Of reason and refuse to longer
obey the counsel of men who themselves

shrink from facing the consequences en-
tailed upon the carrying out OF their in
structions.
The men who, under the cloak of re-
ligion and friendship, do their utmost to
involve the more credulous OF their fell
low men in trouble, and then themselves
take the underground route to nobody
knows-where, leaving their victims to ex-
tricate themselves as best they can, are
rank towards, deserving only Of the exc
crations of honest men. Yet, these same
fugitives from justice, from their safe
hiding places, have the insufferable inn
pudence to occasionally send out letters
to the troubled people, exhorting them
to remain steadfast to the principles Of
"the gospel" and beware of the Evolves
in sleeps clothing" who would lead
them from the true iold only that they
might destroy them.
Who are these Evolves in sleeps cloth
ing?" Are they the men who, tired and
weary Of this everlasting fight between
the Government and the Church, seek tc
have the trouble peacefully settled, and
only ask that citizens here shall obey the
laws as good citizens everywhere else do
If these are the men, then we say
that they are the true friends o

effects, and drove large numbers of them
down TO and aboard OF steamer lying at

from fully accomplishing their designs,
the Governor OF the Territory found it
necessary to call on the militia and sub

Such state OF things cannot exist for
any length of time without precipitating

The Human Race.

Some one recently made public the re-
mark that il the whole human race were
divided into families of five persons each,
the State of Texas is large enough to sup
ply half an acre of land to each family.
The statement surprised some people.
and not a few OF them declared hastily,
without performing the necessary calcula-
tions, that it could not be true.
But it is true. There are supposed to
be about l 400 100000 persons living on
the globe. A half-acre to each family OF
five would require one acre for ten per-
sons, or lao, 900, 600 acres in all. The area
of Texas is more than 262, 900 square
miles, or nearly 1SS, 100000 acres.
Consequently there would be surplus
OF 2S,000, 900 left over after every family
was provided for, which would be suffi-
cient for four or:fve times the present pop
ulation of the United States.
Not many people realize how little
space would be needed to accommodate
the whole human race, assembled in one
place. Supposing we were TO imagine
every human being forming one OF vast
congregation, seated in l ,400, 900, 900 easy
chairs, each occupying a square yard OF
ground space.
AS there are nearly 100000 square
yards IN square mile, that number
represents the size of the congregation
that could be seated upon it under the
conditions named; and the whole human
fomily could be gathered on tract of
450 square miles-or 214 miles each
way.
Less than two-fifths OF the area OF the
little State OF Rhode Island would suffice
to give comfortable seating room TO the
whole human race. One-twelfth OF the
area OF Rhode Island would be enough to
afford standing room-as people stand in
n crowd, without crushing-to every man,
woman and child on the face OF the
globe

DEATH OF GENERAL HANCOCK.

brief dispatch from New York brings
to us the sorrowful tidings of the death
of General Winfield Scott Hancock, which
occurred this afternoon at :5S O'Clock.
The lateness OF the hour at which the
news was received precludes the possibil-
ity of any extended mention this afternoon.
Up to late hour nothing more than
the simple announcement OF the dis
tinguished soldiers demise had been re-
ceived, and the cause thereof was un-
known.
In General Hancock's death the Re-
public suffers the loss OF q gallant soldier,
and the Democrats OF the country lose
one whom they have long taken pride in
pointing to as leader of the party.
