A WITTY CANDIDATE.

1t had not been known that General
Harrison was wit, though his speech in
Chicago last spring at Republican BAN
quet contained some passages OF fine
humor. We submit that there has been
nothing more wittily incisive, or that has
gone straighter TO the core, than the ques-
ton of the General to the colored men on
Thursday. Referring to the uttered re-
proach-but which is born of Democratic
cunning the Republican party has
not thoroughly protected the colored men
of the South in the exercise of their
rights as electors, and that therefore the
colored voter has cause to go over to the
Democratic party, the General said: al
beg of the gentlemen rho urge that plea to an
s,rer this question against ,rhom is it thai
the Republican party has been unable, as you
say, to protect your race"
That, wittily, completely and unanswer-
ably, sums up the whole matter. In a
nutshell of logic it compasses all there is
to say or that has been said upon the sub
ject. 1t ought to be adopted as cam
paign motto, and whenever the pitiful plea
is put forward that the Republican party
does not protect the colored men of the
South, General Harrison's double-shotted
question should be fred at it point blank

The London Times" having a
letter from President Cleveland in
its possession, after quoting passages
from it, editoriaily says: at would
hardly be possible to put the free
trade case more clearly or more
strongly. The arguments which
Cleveland uses are those which
Cable used TO employ forty-five years
ago. and which any English free
trader would employ now. They are
purely free-trade arguments, and as
such we are glad to see Cleveland
using them, though sorry for the
popular infatuation which makes it
dangerous to give them their right
>ame."

panying some of the cargoes of coolies that
are weekly landed at San Francisco. The
wretched sanitary regulations of the Chi
nese afford no protection whatever In
deed, there cannot properly be said to
exist in China any means for preventing
the spread of disease. In some districts
smallpox is guarded against by iunocula-
ton in infancy, but the Chinese Govern
ment, which is forever looking backward
over its shoulder, does nothing to check
the march of cholera visitation 1t is a
Government of patriarchs who are fatalists,
and will not exert themselves in sanitary
directions. 1t would therefore be the part
of wisdom to enforce at San Francisco the
most rigid of the quarantine regulations
and to exercise every precaution possible
to be legally taken to prevent the scourge
reaching us from the Orient.
We have not much faith that this will
be done; the usual rule at San Francisco
is to permit infected vessels to enter the
harbor, and if the pest is found upon
them, TO coop up the passengers on the
ship and keep it apart from others in the
bay. The disease has thus the best of OPP
portunities to breed, and the germs are
afforded every chance to float by water
and air to the shore. The true and the
humane policy would be to establish
temporary quarantine station, where the
well can be landed and kept the proper
period of probation, and the sick seques-
tered from all contact with the other pas
sengers. But though San Francisco is
able TO do this, pending action by Con-
gress and the Washington authorities upon
the establishment and equipping of a
permanent quarantine station, it is I'M
likely the metropolis will act. They have
a "happy-go-lucky" way about them in
our chief city that accustoms them to
taking the chances" And in a great
degree this is true of our nation.
We have never acted with that prompt

infection that characterize some of the
nations of Europe. -Four years ago Italy
set us a fine example. When vessel ap-
peared in the offing of any Italian port
from quarter likely tosend the plague, she
was signalled to stand off and make for a
sheltered and remote spot, generally an
island anchorage, where such aid was given
her, if She was found to have an unclean
bill, as was humane and necessary. Spain
pursued a like policy two years ago; she
did not permit the entry of ships from in
fected ports at all, deeming it greater
humanity to protect the people of the ma
ton than to succor in port the afflicted on
shipboard, though such assistance was rem
dered as could be given to the latter.

THE REPORTERS ARE WRONG.

There is really not much difference be-
tween the scheme to propose in the Senate
substitute for the Mills bill, and the pur-
suance of the regular course-the consid-
Grafton and amendment of the House bill
section by section. In either case we must
look forward to an extended season Of de-
bate. Possibly the substitute idea may
hasten it somewhat, by putting the Repub-
ican majority in the affirmative. 1t can
certainly take this position consistently,
since the party is pledged to such modif-
cations of the tariff as are necessary and
do not invade its essential protective
features. 1t has not contended against re-
duction of the surplus by narrowing the
revenue from duties. What it does hold
is, that before that end the greater one of
protecting American industries and labor
from unfair foreign competition should be
achieved. If the tariff fight descends to
mere contest for partisan advantage for
campaign purposes, it will result badly.
We do not believe the leaders will thus
degrade the issue; it must be kept clearly
defined and intact from mere questions of
party expediency. Whatever it has to
meet, the Republican party can af-
ford to confront openly and without
any evasions Having declared that
the Mills bill is the entering wedge for
free trade, and that behind it is the inten-
ton to introduce general and very much
wider free trade policy, and that the Re-
publican party is in hostility to all such
schemes and the tendency of the bill. be-
cause it holds the principles on which it
rests to be unsound, it has but one thing
to do, and that is to meet the measure
upon its merits and to unmask the motives
that it charges underlie it. Whether this
is done by contesting the bill upon its text
- which the Democratic party denies
means free trade, or any tendency toward
it-or by proposing an affirmative scheme,
affects only the question of methods of do
ing battle, and the most convenient and
effective weaponry to be employed So
far as this or that plan of battle may be
deemed the better, it may be said that po-
litical expediency controls the action of
the Republican majority; but the dis
patches certainly convey false idea by
their expression that the tariff fight itself
is now one of party or political expediency
only, thereby implying insincerity in the
contest, if not abandonment of principle by
one or both sides to the issue. This is SIM
ply absurd. There has been no such thought
in the Republican ranks and probably
not in the Democratic. The reporters are
careless, not to say foolish, in their express
sion. 1t is contest upon principle alone.
upon whichever side statesmen may array
it involves questions of politi-
cal economy of vital interest to the people,
and is not to be debated before them upon
any narrower grounds than those of econ !
mics 1t will not be considered by them
upon lines of partisan expediency, and
ought not to be. 1t is the old question
and nothing more nor less than "what is

TROUBLE ABOUT CHINESE.
The Miners Union of Forest Hill on the
Warpath,
auburn Republican, July 27th.I

auburn Republican, July 27th.l
Last spring the Miners Union was Or
ganized at Forest Hill, and it now claims to
have between 200 and 300 members. Its
ostensible purpose was the maintenance of
miners wages at So day. but it has re-
Gently branched out and proposes to deal
with the Chinese question in manner
which Colonel Bee does not indorse.
A week ago yesterday, committee from
the Union, consisting OF James Creighton,
w. A. LaRue and S. A. White. called upon
Superintendent Power of the Hidden
Treasure mine at Sunny South, and de-
manded that he discharge the Chinese in
his employment, or at least that he employ
not more that one Chinaman to each white
man. There are at present about 80
Chinese and so white men working at the
Hidden Treasure. The committee also de-
manded that Mr.. Power should discharge
all white men who were not members of
the Union. AS Pat McHale is the only
man in the mine who is at present a mem.
Der OF the Union, an accession to this de-
mand would necessitate the discharge of all
except McHale unless they join the Union
whether they wish to or not. Mr. Power
gave the committee to understand flat
refusal to both demands He is paving
white men who work in dry places So q day,
and IS 25 a day to those who work in wet
places. He informed the committee that
he proposed to manage the mine to suit
himself and its owners, that the white men
there were all satisfied, and that he thought
they would all stand in with him in oppos-
ing any violence that might be offered. and
would aid him in protecting the property
of the company.
The Union at about the same time gave
notice to the Chinese who are working I'M
der +. Chappellet at the Mayflower and
under G. +. Hoffman at Red Point that
they must leave. An anonymous letter
was also received by Mr.. Hoffman warning
him to get rid of his Chinese, and the let
ter contained match. Notice was also
sent to W. c. Ralston, Superintendent of
the Hogsback, but the Republican learns
that no Chinese are employed there, or at
least only two or three ON the outside of
the mine.
The Superintendent of these mines will
not accede to the demands of the Union,
and are prepared to resist force or violence.
Fearing, however, that there might be
trouble, Superintendent Power came TO
Auburn on Monday and held consulta-
ton with Sheriff Butler, who Immediately
prepared to swear in hundred or more
Deputy Sheriffs if they shall be needed.
The Union has not confined its attention
to the mines. 1t was also decided that the
Chinese in Forest Hill must go, and it was
reported in Auburn that Monday evening
was the time set for hostilities to begin.
Sheriff Butler and Deputy Sheriff McCor-
mick went to Forest Hill on Monday, but
nothing was done on that day or yesterday,
and telegram from Forest Hill to the
Republican, this morning says:
No trouble. All quiet for the pres
Mr.. Butler will return to Auburn to. day,
and 1t Is not expected that there will be
anything in the nature of an anti Chinese
riot Just now.

GUARDING AGAINST PEsTILENcE.

1t is perfectly evident from the tone of
the English press at Hongkong, that it is
endeaving to conceal the fact that cholera
Is raging in China, and especially in the
seaports with which we of the Pacific
coast have most frequent communication
and most intimate commercial relations.
The papers attribute the many deaths
occurring to milder assaults than those of
cholera, but the attempt to disguise the
truth is feeble. 1t is certain that cholera
prevails in Chinese ports. and that with a
half-dozen steamers plying between them
and San Francisco monthly we are in
imminent danger of the plague accom-

TIE lone FAIR.


A Promising Outlook For Successful
ExhibitiOn-COmpIete Arrangement.
The second annual fair of the Amador
and Calaveras Agricultural Association
will be held at lone City on the 9TH, Sth
oh and 10th of August. Their racing pro-
grsmme appears in the advertising columns
of the RECORD UNION this morning. O. S.
Gregory, the President, says:
Preparations for the fair are moving
along smoothly, and from all sections the
most favorable reports are received.
| The large grain warehouse of the Bloom
| ington Mills, on Sacramento street, has
been leased for pavilion purposes, and the
work of putting il in readiness will be Wig
orously carried forward. This building,
| when properly arranged, will make SPLEEN
did pavilion. 1t is more commodious, and
| will be much better than the large tent
used at the last fair.
| The people throughout the district are
| evincing a greater interest about making
exhibits as the time for the fair draws
near. All producers seem to be imbued
with spirit of enterprise, and every one
who can will send in exhibits of some
kind.
The privileges at the Park and Pavilion
| for Fair week were awarded Monday
evening. The bids were all much in ex-
cess of those of last year. The successful
bidders were the following: Bar at the
Park, NJ. Murray; restaurant at Park, N.
E. Fassett; ice-cream, candy, etc. at Park,
Ed. Mullen and Harry St0wers ice cream,
candy, etc. at the Pavilion, Ed. Fithian.
| The list of entries for the races is very
large and the horses named are of the best
on the coast. A number of the animals
come from long distance, Boise City,
Idaho, having two representatives. and
others coming from as far south as San
lnis Ooispo county. All the racing centers
of the State are well represented, Sacra-
mento, Stockton, Oakland. Pleasanton,
Fresno and other places sending numerous
flyers. In the District races Amador, Gala
veras and Ell Dorado have all their notesl
horses, while several nn,ried but promising
animals will also contest in the District
| races.
Entries for all the races on the regular
programme, excepting Nos. and 10, have
been closed. In these two races, which ar,

1t seems that there is not small num-
Der of people who do not pause to think
that the suppression of the rights of citi-
zenship at the South is wholly chargeable
to the Democracy acting within State
lines, and controlling the machinery of
State laws and the administration of State
government that only when an election
concerns Federal office is interference
possible on the part of authority superior
to that of the State. The people appear
to lose sight of the important fact that
before the Republican party can give the
colored citizen the protection he demands
there must be such expression of the sense
of the majority of the people of the Union
In condemnation of the outrages upon hui
man rights at the South as will call halt
on the part of those who perpetrate them.
This will come with the election of Har-
rison and Morton, and it may then be pos
sible for the question to be tested whether
or not the Federal Government can guar
antee to the citizens of the United States
at the South republican form of govern
ment. Under Democratic administration
it is hopeless.

intelligent, active and decent canvass.
We believe it will be so conducted, free
