Is it a Dangerous Lobby ?

Anderson Intclligcncer. Feb 1lh.
There is. to oar mind. no force in
the News and Courier's objection to
the Grange Committee on legisla-
ton, and it is little strange that
such a committee should be COM
pared with the lobby Of corporations.
in the case of corporations and lob
byistS for private interests, the OBJ
lection is that certain designing
schcmers get from the Legislature
privileges for individual interests,
which are inimical to the public
good. There is no such danger from

influence legislation so as to benefit
the agricultural interests of the
State, it will likewise benefit the
whole State. for the agricultural in

Mayor Rhett, Of Columbia, fines
the man who first provokes diff
Guilty, either by words or blows, and
lets the other off entirely. If a man
insults another in words he fines him
and lets the other man off, although
he may strike the other and precipi'

position for q judicial officer, even q
Mayor to assume. but it is not with
out its advantages, for while it GER

slight provocation it has q tendency
to make them careful as to how they
offer insults. Therefore, while the
Rhett code Of adjudicature has some
disadvantages it also has some
advantages. The question as to
which predominates, we think, adj

CHOLERA.

The New York Board of Health is
solicitous that the San Francisco Board of
Health shall take active measures to pre-
vent the introduction of the cholera from
Japan, where it is now epidemic. 1t is
unlikely that anything will be done until
the grim terror sits on the threshold of
that city. And why? Because the Boards
of Health of that city have all shown that
they deem a little trade with the Orient of
more value than the lives and health of
the people. 1t is said by the dispatches
that it is held in New York, if it is
deemed prudent to suspend communica-
ton with vessels from Mediterranean ports
where the pestilence prevails, like meas
ure of caution is demanded relative to
ships plying between the Pacific coast and
japanese ports. Very true; but there
will be no interference. The San Fran
cisco authorities Will make a show of act
ing, whereupon commercial San Francisco
will raise its hands and shout, "Our trade
is threatened! !" and thereupon the officials
Will "subside," and await the chance of
the issue whether cholera shall be kept
out at the cost Of some trade, or admitted
with the certainty of wholly checking all
japanese commerce with us.

CHINESE SLIPPING IN.

Dispatches from Washington say that
large numbers of Chinese enter the United
States by way of the Mexican border,
along the New Mexican, Arizona and
Texan lines. This is an official report
Being true, it illustrates the old saw about
saving at the spiggot while wasting at the
bunghoIe We have in the south section
some 900 miles of border, with sparse
population and light customs force,
while opposed is a large Mexican popula-
ton inviting Chinese immigration from
the ocean side and under no obligation
whatever to prevent Chinese exodus on
the East While we worry about the en-
forcement of the Restriction Act at the
front doors, the British Columbia and
Mexican bars are down, and the China
man is trotting through with practically
no check The Solicitor of the Treasury,
having been appealed to, declares that
the only remedy is to be found in the
activity of border customs officials and the
prompt return of Chinese who have lille
gally crossed the line He wisely adds
that to enforce the law providing for fine
and imprisonment is impolitic, for it retains
in the country the very persons the Act
provides shall be kept out. So, then, it
follows that we are to be dependent for the
settlement of the Chinese immigration
question upon the activity of a lot of
petty, poorly-paid revenue officers along
several extended lines of thinly-settled
territory. We are to be placed wholly at
the mercy of half-score Of men, whose
conception of duty and activity is not all
likely to be reviewed.

Sacramento Has 1t,

The San Francisco Bulletin, in conclud-
ing q long article on art education in The
West, on the text of the illustrated article
on that subject in the August Century,
says:
"In all the more important cities of the
West there are not only art associations,
but costly art buildings are either erected
or about to be constructed. These struct-
ures provide for a lecture-room, a museum
or art gallery, and for a suitable library.
Cleveland, Milwaukee and Detroit are
reaching out after the best advantages
which art schools and suitable art build
ings afford. San Francisco, the great city
of the Pacific coast, has no ant building.
no Art Museum, and no collection of
pictures of any note open to the
public. All the preliminary talk about
suitable art building has really
amounted to nothing. There never
VIII be 4 notable collection of paintings
and other works of art here which may
serve as a guide for critical judgment,
until there is some place TO bring such
works together. Some respectable work is
done in the way of art education in this
city. The Art School has prosecuted its
work from year to year with such advant-
ages as were within reach. The associa-
ton has neither bull ing nor museum,
and little more than rented rooms, where
at each term from seventy 10 eighty pupils
receive competent instruction. Some of
these pupils are making a name in the
world; aud every year there are pupils of
the greatest promise. What could be done
here with such appliances as are already
furnished in Cincinnati and st. Louis Art
education applied to industry is all very
well in theory. But what is wanted
here is the endowment, the buildings,
the collections of the best examples of
art, and whatever else may go to the
building up of great art industrial school
| in this city"
| What the Bulletin bewails as lacking in
San Francisco Sacramento has. She has
an art collection, in one of the finest art
buildings of the continent. In this build
| ing is an art school in chamber unsur-
passed for beauty by that of any art school
in the world. In that building is the lect-
ure room, library and beginning of a
museum collection of scientific associa-
ton looking to the augmentation of popu-
lar knowledge of the natural history of the
coast. Here there is the ready formed Gen.
ter, the splendid beginning, for the work of
a century in building upon this foundation
work that shall make the Capital City
known to all the world as an educational
center.

THE RECEPTION.

If We are TO believe cur guests, and
under the inspiration of their plauditS be-
ieye our senses, then the reception of the
Grand Army by Sacramento was not only
success, but the most hospitable and
successful of any rendered the delegates.
Certainly no people ever labored more
assiduously to honor guests, or to render
their visit pleasurable. The breadth of
the hospitality extended has no. been
equaled anywhere, nor the sincerity of a
welcome more honestly made manifest. 1t
is very gratifying TO be told by the dele
gates with ardent manimity, that nc
where else have they been so bounteously
Toasted, nowhere else have homes been SO
open 10 them, and nowhere else have the
arrangements for their entertainment and
comfort been more complete or elaborate
There is compensation in this frank avowal
of satisfaction, for all the weeks of labor
and all the expenditure it involved The
lesson TO be learned from the affair is,
that there is need in this city for i closer
union of citizens to consult together with
regard to the needs of the community. In
fact, We ought to have strong,
large, home improvement organization,
similar to many existing in the Union,
which would be ready at any time to take
action relative to such affairs as the recep-
tons of Wednesday and thursday, and
generally to care for the interests Of the
city in every matter relating to the public
social concern. With such body in the
field ready organized, Sacramento would
be heard of abroad much more than now,
and her interests in visitors never neg
lected. With such an organization in adj
vance, there will be no need for the for
mality and cost of special organization,
nor the delay incident to it. In other
words we ought not to wait until the occa-
ton demands before we organize, nor de-
lay action until some philosophical citi-
zen takes the initiative Of responsibility,
but should have a permanent organization
the business of which should be to see to it
that Sacramento's public social interests
and thus related to cher advertisement
abroad are neglected in no quarter. Had
we had such organization Sacramento
would have been made as prominent dur
ing the week of the Encampment in San
Francisco as the several other commune
ties that excited praise by their method
and spirit in inviting attention to their
local advantages.

GovERNoR srAEFoRD's VIEW

Governor Staniord's views, as reported
in the New York Horld, on the political
situation in California, are clear and re-
fleet precisely the situation here. This
people have not such high respect for the
administration as will enhance its political
advantages. Most certainly it is to
be Republican year and one Of Demo-
cratic retrogression. Mr. Cleveland has
not greatly antagonized Californians, but
PROFESSIONALLY he has not improved the
prospects of his party among them. So
far as California has been concerned, Cleve-
land has been negative man. As Gov
ernor Stanford puts it, Our people do
not know where to place him." His
appointments have in many cases, been
weak and i'll advised, while the majority
have seemed to disallect Democratic parti-
sans. No; Mr. Cleveland cannot carry
California in 1888, nor can any other man
under the Democratic banner Republican
success is already written, and the first
note of 1t will he heard three months
hence in the November elections.

CHEESE AS FooD.-We ought to eat more
cheese and less fat pork. There is no food
that is more healthful, and which goes
further to sustain the natural waste of the
system than good cheese. In Europe it
takes the place of meat on the tables of the
poor, but that fact would be no recommen-
dation to the American. He does not like
the idea of eating thing that is the last
resort of victims of the degrading govern
ments of Europe. Let us rather tell him
that cheese is au ever-present article upon
the tables of the rich, which it is. That it is
quite the thing for even children of royalty
to feed on cheese Every respectable res
taurant in London has upon small table
in the center of the room the half section
of large golden yellow cheddar with
knife in it that says Come and eat me"
and there is plate of crackers to go with
it. If we want to introduce cheese-eating
into this country we must stop talking
about the poor of Europe and tell how the
rich enjoy it. Make it fashionable, and it
will go like hot cakes.-Rtrdt aud Work

last effort to practically revolutionize and
Mexicanize the State, was made by D. S.
Terry, and it included in its ruin Justice
who was not obnoxious to the leaders in
the assault because of the decision. This
invested the attack with seeming of sin
cerity and justice, but it was so transpar-
ent, that behind it the vicious animus
and Interior purpose Of the movement
were seen. This final attack has now been
abandoned, and the Legislature refuses to
exercise its dangerous and unparalleled
power to remove Judges without impeach-
ment What the form of the next assault
will be we can only conjecture.
