THE NAN ON HORSEBACK.

We see frequent mention in the Re-
publican partisan press of General Phil
Sheridan for the Presidency. As high
an authority as ex-senator Conkling Of
New York is quoted as saying that the
General would make the most available
candidate in the Republican party. We
would be sorry if this were true. There
is something besides hero-worship to be
dealt with in the approaching campaign,
and in the immediate future of this coun-
try. There is no time to be wasted on a
mere sentiment, and especially on a fool
ish sentiment. There are great economic
questions to be solved, Of revenue and
finance; questions that 60 directly to the
well-being Of all the people Of this great
country. The story of the war is to be
put behind US, insofar as it shall form an
issue in our politics. 1t is a time for
trained craftsmanship rather than ideal
s~entimentality. 1t is time for both par
ties to drop all nonsense in the selection
of a Presidential candidate. Either can
better afford to lose with q sound repre-
sentative man than to win with an in
competent. The Democratic party while
out, tried all sorts Of lodges to get in,
and we lost by it every time. Now the
Republican party shows a disposition to
drift about in the same haphazzard way.
We threw away two campaigns on Gree.
ley and Hancock. In either case the
Democracy would have emerged from the
contest in better fighting shape had it
gone before the country with men like
Thurman or Hendricks. 1t was not until
we nominated the great civilian and
statesman, Samuel J.. Tilden, that the
country gave MS sufficient votes to elect
the President. Our Republican friends
would do we'll to heed these lessons Of
political history. They are now where
we were then-out. They will remain
out just as long as they throw away OPP
portunities on doubtful expedients and
experiments. They have q number Of
men we'll trained in the affairs Of the Ma.
ton. Some one of these should be selected
as their standard bearer to give them
the slightest hope Of success before the
people. If the tariff is to be the sole
issue, some man whose public record is a
platform within itself. is the character Of
man for the emergency. General Sheri-
dan is a great soldier. but nobody knows
whether he is for a high tariff, or a low
tariff, or no tariff at all. The country
will not take kindly to such a candidate
al such a time. There is no place in the
pending canvass for the man on horse

The Supreme Court Of the United States
has knocked the Chinese Restriction Act
INTO a cooked hat. There is no r~estrie-
ton now. The Chinese may come to this
country in unlimited numbers until there
is further legislation by Congress or a
new treaty made with China. OF the
latter, there seems TO be some ground for
hope. Secretary Bayard has lately an
nouneed that a new treaty with China
was we'll under way between himself and
the Chinese Minister a. Washington. He
further intimated that the new treaty
proposed to close the gates absolutely
against Monaghan immigration in any
form. This would be better than q law
Of Congress providing for partial exclu.
sion under which all might enter through
the courts or the ~connivance OF the Gus.
toms officers, as has been the case in the
past. The point decided by the Supreme
Court was that the Federal Courts Of
San Francisco could exercise jurisdiction
in the Chinese cases brought before them
on habeas corpus. This is equivalent to
declaring the Restriction Act q nullity,
because the Federal Courts turn loose on
the community all Chinese brought be-.
fore them. There are hundreds Of these
cases-a regular blockade-now on the
dockets OF these courts. The officers are,
Of course, making money out Of them.
The regular fee for getting q Chinaman
admitted to the country through the
Federal Courts is about fifty dollars. The
Six Companies foot the bills Of all COM
ere, and furnish witnesses to order for
any character Of case. The law as ad.
ministered has simply proven a farce. A
majority Of the Supreme Court, as was
to have been expected, took the side OF
the Chinaman. The employers of cheap
labor in California are well satisfied with
the decision. The rsisin maker who is
believing for forty per cent protection on
his product is throwing his hat in the air
because he can now get his grapes picked
at forty cents a day by Cinnamon. There
are 5000 Chinese employed in California
in this one industry and not one white
man. But so the world will move while
greed is the dominant trait Of the human
heart. In the meantime Secretary Bay.
ard can greatly popularize the admins
tration on this coast by hurrying along
that uaxu kraaky

FouR z STATES.


Telegraphic advices from Washington
bring the information that = sub-csmmit-
tee Of the House Committee on Terri.
tories has been instructed to formulate
an omnibus bill providing for the imme'
diate admission OF four new States into
the Union. They are Washington, Da-
kota, Montana and New Mexico. The
action is without a precedent in the his.
tory OF the Government. There has al
yays been more or less contention over
the admission of q single State. That a
committee Of Congress should uDani-
mously agree to bring in four new States
ct one swoop is a pleasing surprise. We
most sincerely hope that the bill OF the
committee, when presented, will pass
both Houses of Congress with equal una
nimisy. These new States would greatly
augment the power Of the West in Con.
gress. Eight additional Senators could
not fail Of exerting q wholesome influence
in shaping legislation favorable to west
ern ideas and interests. They would be
especially beneficial to the cause Of silver
in the Senate, where we stand so much
in need Of help, and votes, on this ques'
ton. Politically the new States would
perhaps divide equally between the Dem.
ocrats and Republicans. Montana and
New Mexico may be safely relied upon
to 90 Democratic, while Dakota and
Washington are reliably Republican. But
we shall hardly look for the Enabling
Acts Of the new States to include their
participation in the pending Presidential
election. Both parties will fear that the
other may in some way score an unex'
pected advantage. Just as Colorado gave
the election to Hayes in 1876. II is as
we'll that party politics should be ignored
in tho construction Of the new States.
They could not be admitted at all at this
time if there was the slightest political
advantage apparent from any stand point.
The Measure will stand on the ground OF
manifest justice to the people of the Ter.
ritories named, with no admixture Of
politics or political advantage to either
of the great parties Of the country. 1t
is for this reason that we have strong
hopes Of its early passage. With these
four new States added TO our National
ensign, Utah, Idaho and Alaska will con-
~stitute the only remaining Territories OF
the American Union. And which o.
these will be the last to be admitted to
the sisterhood of Statesl 1t requires no
gift of prophecy to foresee that Utah is
destined to form the rear guard Of the
procession, unless the majority OF her
people shall IN the meantime learn to
obey the laws of the land and not lees
the precepts OF modern civilization.

DEATH or JUDGE CLoUaH.

Judge Frank NJ. Clough died In the
Insane Asylum at Stockton q few days
ago. He had been confined there for
some three years. Frank was . Eureka
boy. having studied law here with the
late A. M. Hillhouse. He did not give
promise Of becoming a great lawyer while
in Eureka, and as q matter Of fact, he
was not 3 profound disciple of Blackstone
at any time in his life. It was during
Ksarney's sand lot campaign that Frank
foated on the San Francisco Bench. He
was subsequently elected a Superior
Judge on the Democratic ticket. He pre-
sided in that branch to which all probate
matters were referred. After a time his
mind failed and Walter S. Levy was sp-
pointed to succeed him. Judge Clough
had acquired a good deal Of landed prop
erty in Tulare county. California. II is
believed that his mental faculties sue
cumbed under the pressure incident to
losses in other real estate speculations.
He leaves a wife and two children.

THE MANSFIELD ICICLE.-

Statesman John Sherman lives at Mans.
field, Ohio. As giving some idea of how
he stands, as to warmth Of heart. among
the people Of his own State, he is widely
known as the Mansfield Icicle." Sher.
man has come into great prominence for
the Presidency since the withdrawal Of
Blaine. We believe his chance for the
nomination is the best at this writing.
He has great wealth, made no matter
how, and he is sure to use it lavishly to
promote his candidacy. We shall expect
to see him lead all competitors on the
first ballot. He is making an indus
trious, and Senator Jones says in an in
terviev an intelligent canvass for the
nomination. We would be glad to see
John Sherman the Republican candidate,
but we would hate to see him President.
He belongs boots and breeches to Wall
street, and the money oligarchy of the
country. 1t was this same John Sher.

was done. He has also stood for the

Reasons.

The Augusta lMe.) special to the Mail
and Express says: Il is in the current
report this morning among Blaine's init.
mate friends and neighbors that letters
have been received from him here to the
effect that his formal withdrawal from
the Presidential candidacy is on account
of Mrs. Blaine and their SON Emmons.
II is stated that Mrs. Blaine has never
recovered from the sorrow into which
she was plunged during the last campaign
by the scandalous stories which were
told, and that she made a special request
Of her husband not to accept another nom.
nation, a. she feared she could not pass
through another such ordeal.

A Smooth Game.

A smooth game was played on q young
man at San Jose by a couple Of faro gam.
blers. He was permitted to win what
they claimed wal all the money in the
bank-some $3.50 or $500. Then those
naughty men innocently proposed to the
successful bucker that as he had all the
money it would ~prolongate the fun il
he should take charge of the bank and
proceed to operate It. He did SO, and
after making a few winnings began
to lose and continued until they had
won $1,000 in cash and notes from him.
As he was the keeper, nominally. Of the
game when he lost. he cannot sue them
and recover his losses. They even threaten
TO sue him on his notes.

A railroad man from Truckee tells of a peculiar incident on the Central Pacific, which occurred one night re- gently, and which has been kept quiet until iow. A freight train running down from Summit towards Truckee came suddenly in sight of burning snowshed. There was not time to stop the train, and to have slackened speed would have been courting death from the flames. So the engineer clapped on all steam aud made wild dash through the circle of fire cover ing the track. The train passed through the shed in safety, and the fire train being telegraphed for. ran up from Truckee to extinguish the flames, task that was soon accom- plished.

Read tlle Death Reu

Which the bills of mortality of any large city may be ftly designated, and you will find that renal and vesical maladies. that is to say, those that effect the kid ncys or bladder; have a remarkable prom inence-we had almost said-preponder- ance. Bright's disease and diabetes in the chronic stage are rarely cured, and gravel, catarrh of the bladder and enure- sis, slay many. Yet at the outset, when the trouble merely amounts to inactivity of the organs involved, the danger may be nullifed by that pleasant renal tonic and diuretic, Hostetter's Stomach Bit ters, which imparts the requisite amount of tone to the organs, without over-ex- citing them, and the use of which is con- venient, and involves no elaborate prep aratlon. Dyspepsia, a usual concomitant of renal complaints, and debility, which they invariably produce, are remedied by it. So also are constipation, mala- rial. rheumatic and nervous ailments
