Riots and bloodshed continue in
Chicago. On the 4th inst. conflict
occurred between the Socialists and
the police, in which six policemen
were killed and twenty-one wound
ed, many seriously, and fifty of the
rioters are known to be killed or Sc
riously wounded. The most effective
work OF destruction, by the mob, was
by bombs. One account says:
1o:40 P. MA report has just been
received that six policemen have been
killed in the Haymarket, where the
Anarchists are holding meeting.
A man who was standing in the
crowd received a pistol ball in the
thigh and has just been brought to
the Central police station. He SAYS
that during the progress of speech
by one of the Socialists, squad of
officers marched by close to the speak
er's stand. Some one shouted: "Kill
the 49, -" Almost as soon as
the words had been uttered, three
bombs were thrown from near the
stand into the midst of the squad of
officers. They exploded instantly
and FIVE policemen fell. Others were
wounded and several of the Socialists
did not escape.
An officer who has just arrived from
the scene says there is hardly any
doubt that at least FIVE officers were
fatally wounded. Persons living on.
the west side, many squares from the
scene Of disturbance, report that the
explosion of the bombs, which was
serrific, was instantly followed by
of revolver shots.

RECORD UNION: The destruction
by FIRE of the book and Publishing
establishment Of a. L. Bx6croft & Co
liz San Francisco u ! teSIly great loss
10 the State. The legal Blank plates
destroyed will OCCASION III little in
Iconvenience to tie public; the de-
|struction Of several thousand law
books, some Of which are rare, will
enhance the Halues of law rublica-
tions OH the coast; the loss Of the
map plates Of H. H. Bancroft's superb
History Of the Pacific States Of the
Americas will be felt as serious
blow, for it is scarcely probable that
they will ever be replaced. 1t is
gratifying to know that the greater
number Of the plates Of the text of
the histories escaped, destruction.
These volumes, which at first we're
received coldly, have now won an
enviable place among historical pro-
auctions, and had the plates been
melted down it is probable the pages
would not have been reset, for Mr..
Bancroft has expended such great
sum OF money. and SO many years of
q useful life upon his histories, with
comparatively so small financial re-
turn as yet, that the destruction Of
the stereotypes would have been al
most equivalent to blotting out his
life-work. The fire throws out of
employment also nearly 400 wage
winners, and destroyed one Of the
most extensive business houses of the
country. The insurance is so light
that we can scarcely expect the house
to attain its old prominence in trade
again, though it has the pluck to an
nounce new beginning of business
at once. But when men have reach
cd middle age, and the labors Of
their llfe-time are swept away in an
hour, they are unlikely to rebuild
their business to its former full pro-
portions. Where the gain comes in
to the people9 is, Of course, in the
new demand Shat will be created for
the importation of book stock. Al
trade that justified the filing of
shelves with hundred thousand
volumes of the best literature of the
world, will justify the bringing to the
State of another stock. But it is
more than likely that this will be
met in large part by other houses, SO
hat there will be something of
given to the general book
'rade in San Francisco as result of
The great fire. But whatever the in
,idental gains such destruction Of
property is heavy blow to
San Francirco and will be seriously
'elt.

The Labor Question.

Cleveland on the labor question is thu
first one in the history Of our govern
ment in which the President of the
United States has made the rights
and welfare Of workingmen the sub
jcct of a special message to Congress-
He says:
"Under our form of government
the value Of labor as an element oil
national prosperity should be distinct
ly recognized, and the welfare Of the
laboring man should be regarded as
specially entitled to Legislative care.
The laboring man, bearing in his
hand an indispensable contribution
to our growth and progress, may well
insist, with manly courage, and as a
right, upon the same recognition from
those who make our laws as is accord
ed to any other citizen having val
liable interest in charge. The dis
content of the employed is due in a
large degree to the grasping and
Needless exactions Of the employers
and the alleged determinations in ia
vor Of capital as an object Of govern
mental attention"
For the last quarter of century
the legislation Of Congress and many
of the States has been in the interest
of moneyed corporations. BY this
means colossal fortunes have been Sc
cured in the hands of the few to the
impoverishment of the many. 1t is
the unjust abuse of the privileges
granted by the legislative power to
corporations and moneyed combina-
tions under which the laborer is suf-
fering all over this country. Any
system Of legislation by which one
man or corporation of men can ac-
cumulate, during the short period of
life allotted to man, tens of millions
of dollars, from the public, in carry
ing on any business, is fatal to the
common welfare. The legislation
which empowers, or the non-legisla-
ton which permits, Jay Gould,
through Legislative franchises, to be
able to count his wealth by the hun
dred millions, and he not yet hardly
passed the meridian of life, while
many Of his employees have to sup
port themselves and families on the
wages of one dollar per day, or be
discharged, is mockery to that
American sentiment-"Exact Justice
to all, special favors to none." What
we have remarked of Jay Gould APP
plies to hundreds of others of our
moneyed kings, who have been made
by legislation and remained unre-
strained in their greedy exactions by
non legislation.
The recommendation of the Presi-
dent is timely, but it is doubtful i'll
the evils built up and licensed, by the
last twenty years and more, of COR
rupted legislation, can be corrected
in his term Of Office. -[Silver State.

DR.. Wilkins, Of the Napa, Califor-
mia, Insane Asylum, has given some
valuable information regarding the
patients in the California asyluns.
He says that of the fourteen patients
in the California asylums, two-thirds
of the whole number are foreign.born,
though only one-third of the whole
people of the Coast are foreign-born.
He says, too, that the same rule holds
good through all the prisons, aims
houses, houses of correction, and 9TH
er institutions of public charity or
discipline in California.
