ArteSiaE Wells.

Beck. of Kentucky. and Chase
of Rhode Island, opposed an ap-
preparation Of $1,000 for sinking
artesian wells in Washington Ter
ritory-the former because he did
not believe any good had ever been
dene by sinking artesian wells, and
the latter, who seems fond of pom
derous Jokes, because he scented a
Job in the bill and thought 1t
should have been entitled a bill to
bore In, the United States Treas
ury.
The trouble with these gentle
men is that they do not understand
their subject. Artesian wells have
proved a success in several south
ern counties of this State, though
the bores are nothing like az deep
as those at St. Louis, Mo, Grenelle
in France, or even Denver, Col.
There are sections in Southern
California where all the water they
get is derived from artesian wells
In some sections as many as seven
benches of water have been struck
without reaching bedrock, and the
old Biblical legend of Moses smlt-
ing the rock and causing a spring
to sush forth has been literally YER
fled
George, of Mississippi, seems to
have supposed that the money was
to be spent on private land. No
such idea has ever been entertained.
All the Acts appropriatius money
for artesian wells-and there have
been several-have applied to wells
on Government land exclusively
We have always believed it to be
the duty of the Government to fer
til:ze It's lands in this State which
are now unsalable-by sinking ar
tesian wells thereon. The money |
cost would be small, there is ample |
precedent. and the
result would be that some 10000 |
900 acres of land now worthless
might be made the happy homes OF |
thousands of citizens.-San Fran
cisco Chronicle.

The felfrd! Committee Set DOVE
on Him at Reno.
The principal political topic is
the severe squelching Jewett Ad-
ans received at Reno, on the occa-
sion of the meeting Of the Demo
cratic State Central Committee.
Adams was there as usual attempt
ing to dictate a programme to the
Committee but they decided not to
stand any of his mons ense and he
was set down on by the Great East
as well as the Great West. He re
turned to this city a sadder but by
no means wiser man, and as he
walks the streets his face is as long
as the Candelaria flagstaff, or rath-
er, as long as the flagstaff he prom
ised the people of that section some
years ago. Tie news seemed to
elate most of the Democrats In this
city who feared that he would
again be nominated. The Repub-
licans were espondingly depress
ed, and when Hickey, VINO Is gu
oernatorial aspirant on the Repub
lican ticket, heard the news he
grew serious, then profane. All
who clung to Adams while be was
in power, realizing his position, are
new laughing AT him and merely
say Poor Jewett, it was all his
own fault"

Chinatown in Truckee Fired to

\ FRIEND OF FAIR PLAY.

TRUCKEE, June 1S.-A FIRE broke
out in Chinatown here Yesterday at
1870 O'Clock, P. NJ, which con-
sumed about 40 buildings, owned
mostly by Cinnamon, and occupied
exclusively by Chinese. The cause
of the fire is net known, but 1t is
generally asserted that it was set
by the Chinese, as the few remain
ing ones have come to the con
clusion that they must go, and
have said that they would burn
their property before it should fall
into the hands Of the white men of
the place. A few smaller fires
were started on River street by
falling sparks, bat were soon ex-
tinguished. The fire is now under
control. The total loss will exceed
$4,000 No insurance. A strong
wind was blowing at the time.
1t is reported that three China
men were burned to death in try
ing to save their bedding.

LONDON, Aug. 9-Advices from the Solo
mon islands, via Queensland, report des-
perate conflict between the crew of the re-
cruiting steamer Dick and the natives of
tie island of Malayta The steamer, ac-
cording to the reports, is in the habit of
making periodical visits to the islands for
the purpose of securing natives to serve a
three years apprenticeship in Queensland
and, if accounts are correct, many OF the
unfortunate men are given no opportunity
to say whether they desired to go, but were
bodily carried aboard. However this may
be. it is certain that the natives did not
welcome tine steamers appearance on thls
occasion, and while the captain with two
boat loads of men was ashore recruiting a
large party Of natives boarded the vessel
and attacked those on deck.
A terrible fight ensued The natives used
spears and axes, and in few minutes five
white men were wing on dock hacked to
death, while Mr. Popham, the agent, was
killed in his cabin, his head being split in
two aud then hacked from the body. Fin
ally, some of the crew managed TO escape
to the rigging, where they killed about a
dozen of the party and drove off the re-
mainder. When the captain returned to
his vessel an awful scene was presented TO
his view The deck was slippery with gore,
and heads and legs and trunks were scat
tered around in ali directions For while
the shock almost bereft him of reason BY

The tariff question mast Of necessity
be made prominent one in the fall con-
gressional elections 1t will doubtless be
the decisive one IN many congressional
districts, because Of the determination
of the f-reformers to bring it 10 the
front
The democratic party should scan its
nominees closely on the question. A
candidate for congress on an alleged
democratic ticket who is not in favor Of
reduction of custom.house taxation
stands but little show of election in any
district outside Of Pennsylvania. Many
democrats would prefer straightrout
enemy to false so called friend as
representative in congress.
For many years in each recurring cam
paigu, the democrats have gone before
the people with promise on their lips
that they would, if given majority, re-
duce taxes and cut off the monopoly tax
es by which the few are enriched at the
expense of the poor. The Ash aad 49th
congresses were given democratic majori,
ties mainly on the strength of these re,
form protestations. As each congress
has assembled the people have looked
forward in hope that these pledges would
be fulfilled, and while they distrusted the
republican senate have felt sanguine that
a relief measure would at least pass the
democratic house.
How grievously they have been disap'
pointed is a matter of history. On both
occasions the defeat has come from the
same source In the Forty>eighth con-
press Samuel J. Randall and thirty -eight
democratic traitors voted to strike out the
enacting clause of bill to reduce thu
tariff Is per cent. In the Forty ninti
congress thirty-tive democratic traitors
under the same leadership, voted against
any consideration of bill to reduce tax
alton. These votes, added to those o
the republicans, were on both occasions
sufficient to defeat reform legislation.
If the democrats send back these recre'
ant men and again prevent. in the Fiji
tieth congress, the reduction of the wal
tariff, there will be many men who have
always and faithfully voted the demo
cratic ticket, who will ask themselves
why they should continue to adhere to I
party which is not faithful to itself
Some such men are already asking sucl
questions. The democratic party. s.
far as the tariff questson is concerned
will be more conspicuously on its trial il
the coming election than ever before.
