WHAT would the people say if they
knew the true inwarduesss of politics,
especially local politics. If the light
we're turned upon the dark places some
startling secrets would be exposed, and
there wosld be a shout OF popular indig-
nation. People are to apathetic. They
pat their shoulders too the wheel. That
would require to much effort. Their
fault is in leaving politics to those who
put themselves forward as active politici
ans. The active politician is looking
out for himself more than he ia for the
people.

Cu1EF ARTHUR's order to the Atchison,
Topeka and Santa Fe engineers to go
back to work vastly clears the situation
out there for a moment, and gives US a
fl eetiSg glimpse of the chief engineer az
the public has known him for the past
dozen years. II has never been clear
Just why the men struck on that immense
system, unless for the ridiculous reason
that the boycotted Burlington and that
road had many stockholders in common.
The Atohison has never been over friend
ly to the 90" road, and has not sym
pathizsd with it in the present trouble.
1t does not appear that the men had
been asked to handle Burlington freight
The strike in this instance seems to have
been the least justifsbe of any in the
present deplorable series.

THE argument had on Wednesday by
the Representatives and Senators from the
Pacific coast before the Senate sub-Com-
mittee on Foreign Relations, on the ques-
ton of restriction of Chinese immigra-
ton, portends good for this side of the
Union. The Pacific delegation was out
spoken in its demands, and it is evident
made deep impression upon the sub
committee. 1t is noticeable that our SEN
ators and Representatives no longer give
much time to arguing the question of the
desirability of excluding the Chinese :;
they now devote their attention mainly to
legislative and other methods to be en-
ployed. This is certainly due to their
conviction that there has been a great
change in the sentiment of the East for
the better, and that the California demand
for exclusion is now understood, and is re-
ceived as that of an intelligent and reso-
Lutte people who are not to be answered by
sentimental gush about the brotherhood of
man, and this heritage of ours being the
refuge for the outcasts of the world. 1t is
no more thrown into our faces that we are
" Western rowdies," and that the cry for
exclusion is the voice of the sand-lot, ig-
norance, and inhumanity. Still, the East
is not yet wholly convinced, and we need,
while pressing our demands, to relax no
activity in disseminating the truth con-
corning the non-assimilability of the Chi
nese with this people, the menace that
their presence constitutes to indus
trial interests, and the obstacle it is to pro-
gressive endeavors.

Mr.. CoNDERT is a New York lawyer of
local influence and a fine campaign worker.
He was solicited to take part in the COM
ing Presidential campaign for the Demo-
crazy, but declined to become active for
Mr.. Cleveland until he had seen Mrs.
Cleveland. Having called upon her he
now says: al will do all the talking you
want to help the Democrats this fall. 1
will do anything to help keep such a
woman as Mrs. Cleveland in the White
House" Upon this New York Demo-
cratic journals congratulate the party.
That is all very well, but where does the
congratulation come in for Mr. Cleveland ?
1t looks very much as if, in Mr.. Conderts
opinion, the Presidents chief claim to
reelection is the fact that he is the hus-
band of his wife.

FISHING EXTRAoRDINARY.-T creek
is paradise for anglers. The fish are
large and become quite plentiful when the
waters of Lake Ainslie are sufficiently
warm TO cause them to seek cooler re-
treat in the flowing stream. One-half OF
the stories which are told of the catches
at this place would fill Volumes but none
Of them has yet reached the sublime hight
of what is claimed for small lake near
Guysboro. The narrator's hero is himself
He says that one winter, being tired of
salt beef and wanting trout for change,
he cut a hole in the ice on the lake. He
had evidently selected good day, for the
fish took his bait so rapidly that it was
downright hard work to keep pulling them
out. So eager were they, indeed, that
they would often jump for the bait before
it had even touched the water. Our sports
man was an inventive genius, and decided
| to profit by this phenomenal appetite. Get
ting down on his knees ne dangled the
! bait about foot above the hole and
awaited further Developments Almost
Immediately fine trout jumped for it, and
promptly received dexterous box on the
ears which indeed landed him far out on
the ice. So numerous and so hungry were
the fish, that the anglers hand was kept
constantly busy, slapping them as they
jumped for the alluring bit of red pork
which lowered over the opening in the ice
Every slap yielded fish. This continued
until sheer fatigue put an end to the novel
pastime. A conservative estimate placed
the quantity of fish at somewhat over four
barrels.-Ffom "Cdpe Breton Island" by f.
d. Endlich, in The american Magazine.

The San Francisco Bulletin SAYS: "Un
less the President is belied he fully real
lies the value of disciplined political
force like the internal revenue officials
during the coming campaign. Their parti-
sanship in his cause is not to be deemed
offensive nor their activity to secure
his reelection 'pernicious.' There are
$500 internal revenue employees; they con-
stitute powerful working force for adyo-
cacy of Mr.. Cleveland's claims. The men
would probably be for him as Democrats,
even if not in Office, but their zeal is
greatly stimulated, and their influence
vastly augmented by reason of their official
positions But the great bug-bear with
which Mr. Cleveland has endeayored to
frighten the country is the surplus" 1t
has developed in the first place that his
prophecies Of woe have not given any indi
cation, as yet, of realization; in the second
place, if he is so anxious to reduce the sur
plus, now Sl04,00o,0o0, he can wipe it out
by securing internal revenue abolition, and
leave Sl4O00,00O on the other side-that
is the cut of income would be S11S,000, 900
per annum. But neither Mr.. Cleveland
nor his party exhibit any anxiety to be
economic in that direction. The counter
balancing party value of $500 internal
revenue officials, it may BE- logically as
sui,ea, has considerable to do with the

oompacts with the Federal Government
are concerned we think it has been settled
that they can be made, and that every
provision guaranteeing republican form
of government, prohibiting slavery, insur-
ing free speech and liberty of conscience
and of press, are compacts into which
States enter with the Federal Government.
Senator Butler said to the committee
that conceding the propriety of Incorporate
ing any prohibition of polygamy and
bigamy in the State Constitution, he
thought that under the present national
Constitution the Government had no right
thereafter to control the matter. He adj
mitted that if the Territory were to come
in under the present provision in its Con-
stitution, then Congress and the President
would have the right to interfere. but he
for one did not propose to admit State
with any such right of interference. Sen
ator Buffers idea may be born of view of
our Government not entertained uni
formly, but as applied to Utah his conclu-
sion that after the admission of the Terri
tory Congress would have the right to in
terfere is sound. But of what use
would that be? There would in all
probability be no cause given for
interference; no amendment of the
Constitution would be attempted,
for the simple reason that, as it now stands
it is all the polygamous Mormons want. 1t
was not adopted with the intention OF sup
pressing polygamy. 1t makes it mere
misdemeanor, and after conviction does not
provide for punishment if the polygamous
relation is resumed. Congress, therefore,
would be unable to interfere in any way,
however well established her right to do
SO. Here would be free and independent
State, with Constitution approved by
Congress, and yet evading its spirit How
could the Federal Government proceed to
compel the State of Utah into sincerity and
abandonment of polygamy, when it has
been unable to do SO with full control of
the Territory? Ex-senator Mcdonald
argued that the power of Congress to COM
pei submission to any regulation with regard
to the marriage relation was not impaired
by an admission to Statehood He cited
the case of Louisiana, where it was secured
as condition to her admission. He argued
that Congress had right to protect our
civilization. Provisions against polygamy
and bigamy have been incorporated in the
Constitution, and the history of the past
showed that provisions so fixed were effect
i've. This is all true, but the case of Utah
is phenomenal, and not to be judged by
ordinary standards. The right policy of
the Government is to adopt the views of
the majority of the Utah Commission, and
make admission dependent upon prefa-
tory works by the Mormons as evidences of
sincere abandonment, rather than upon
eyasive constitutional declarations.

our republican form of government. We are
not speaking of Californis, but of the United
states of America.
1t is true that the day for argument of
the question has, in one sense, passed In
another it is just at hand The sentiment
of our brethren at the East, once appar-
emily immoyably fixed in opposition to us,
now waivers, and, indeed, in some quarters,
has come over to the right view But
there is need still for argument, for prose
lyting labor, for urgency at the East. The
light of experience upon the question in
which Californians live is but feeble at the
East, as yet, but the time is ripe for max
ing it effulgent there, and we must not
neglect the duty in that direction if success
is to be attained. We have entered upon
Presidential year, which affords us a
new and favorable opportunity TO move
upon one class of men who in such a
season are more susceptible to our pleading

than foolish if we let it slip by unim-

that the Germans have a notion that Sir

He hoped that oy keeping the Prince alive
