London increases its population by
$4,000 every year. 1t has 1000 ships
and 10000 sailors in its port every

shops invite the purchaser to enter.

stated that in only three out of up

alcohol been used. In these three

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.
If Beelzebub himself were to ascend
from the neither regions and MIR. John
Taylor saw fit to order his name to be
placed on a 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 a man as the City
Marshal-elect is conclusive evidence that
no objections would be heard to doing a
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

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 lawfulness or unlawfulness of
the means employed for the expulsion of
the coolies.
1t 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 heathen 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 of coolies, we
cannot but condemn the unlawful and
In many instances brutal and mur-
derous methods employed to get
rid of them. They came here when
under the provisions of the Burlingame
treaty, they had aperfect right to come
and go as they saw fit and it really
seems as though some method less obiec-
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 influ-
ential journals of that State are calling
upon the citizens to aid in the move
ment, unless they want ga 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.

shrink from facing the consequences en-
tailed upon the carrying out of their in
struchons.
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 insuferable 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 fold 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 to
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 of
the people, for they would bring the
wayward ones to full realization
of their perilous situation, would
help them out of their difficulties, would,
if permitted, take their hand and lead
them where together they could pay
fitting reverence to the flag which floats
over the greatest and the freest govern
ment on Gods footstool; would, when
freed of the trammels which for so many
years have held them in bondage, hail
the emancipated ones as brothers in the
covenant of loyalty to the Government,
caring not what their religious views
night be, asking only that they live, as
Ill good citizens must necessarily live,
within the laws of the country which pro-
ects them in their lives and their prop
,rty, and in the pursuit of happiness
lnder those laws.
Are these men Evolves in sleeps
,!othing?" Time will tell.

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 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
a great change somewhere of Late

The Seven Bibles Of the World.

The seven Bibles of the world are the
Koran of the Mohammedans, the Trl
Pitikesof 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. 1t is
compound of quotations from the Old and
New Testaments, the Talmud and
the Gospel of ST. Barnabas. The
Eddas of the Scandinavians, were
first published in the fourteenth
century. The Pitikes of the Buddhists
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 King" mean
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 it
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.

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 a 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 num-
oerless women, these men, coward-like,
crawl into their holes to avoid |
the punishment that otherwise
would be visited upon them. To effect
heir capture, no stone should be |
eft unturned, and when arraigned at the
BAR of justice to answer for their crimes,
is, sooner or later, they certainly will be,
hey should receive well-merited punish
nent, and be made examples of to the
'xtent that the law permits. The teachers
md preachers, in this case, are the ones
Who deserve no mercy; it is to be hoped

DEATH OF GENERAL HANCOCK

A brief dispatch from New York brings
to us the sorowful tidings of the death
of General Winfield Scott Hancock, which
occurred this afternoon at 2 :5S O'Clock.
The lateness of the hour at which the
news was received precludes the possibil-
ity ofany 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

The Human Race

Some one recently made public the re.
mark that if 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.
fIhe 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, 900, 900 persons living on
the globe. A half-acre to each family OF
five would require one acre for ten per-
sons, or 140,000,O00 acres in all. The area
OF Texas is more than 100000 square
miles, or nearly 100000 acres. -
Consequently there would be surplus
of 2S,000,000 left over after every family
was provided for, which would be suffi-
cient for four or. five 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 a vast
congregation, seated in l, 400, ,OOO, 1000 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 21I 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
a crowd, without crushing to every man,
woman and child on the face OF the
globe.

effects, and drove large numbers of them
down to and aboard of steamer lying at
the wharf, ready to sail for San Fran
cisco. In order to prevent the mobs
from fully accomplishing their designs,
the Governor of the Territory found it
necessary to call on the militia and sub
sequently to suspend the writ of habeas
corpus.
Such state OF things cannot exist for
any length of time without precipitating
conflicts and resulting in acts that are
horrible to contemplate. The Chinaman
should be protected in his life and prop
erty, but Congress should not delay
the passage of such measures as will give
the relief which the exigencies of the case
call for
