PRESS OPINIONS.

The Reading coal-miners' strike has
plainly failed. Every day that it is kept
open by the committee is day of suffering
inflicted on labor by its leaders in order to
salve the pride and postpone the confessed
defeat OF the latter.-Phitadelphia Press.
The change of Inauguration day from the
4th of March to the 30th of April is q de-
sirable one, if, for no other reason, on the
score of the season. The weather on the
4th of March is likely to be Indictment, and
to make the ceremony of installing Pres
ident inconvenieut, and sometimes dan
gerous.-N. Y. Star.
The editors responsibility is grave one,
and the daily and momentous pressure OF
his surroundings renders his position any
other than an enviable one He must
think hastily, yet soundly; he must write
rapidly, and any immaturity of thought or
expression is an unforgiven trespass upon
an invidious public.-Sdn Jose Herald
When this maternal government of ours
appoints an inspector of nurseries to see
that sound trees only are sold, it should be
madepart of his duty to see that bottle-raised
babies are fed on only the purest quality of
cows milk. If we are going in for govern
mental regulation of everything, we might
as well start with the cradle Oakland En-
qtiirer.
The President has approved new set of
civil service rules, designed to promote the
idea that appointments should be made
without regard to partisan opinions or pref
erences; and. Judging from past experience,
We may therefore expect soon to see con-
siderable number of Democrats provided
with offices that are now held by Republi-
cans.-S. Louis Globe Democrat
There is no longer any doubt of the ex-
istence of hands of professional assassins
among the Chinese, who, for hire, will put
any objectionable person out of the way.
Even the prices are scaled, $500 being the
rate for an ordinary murder. These assas-
sins are so bound together and interiaced
in transactions with the Chinese citizens
that conviction is nearly impossible-Su
Jose Mercury.
We do not think that gambling should
be licensed under any circumstances. OF

We believe gambling to be in its effects pos
lively the worst, because it carries in

The United States, which have long
stood second only 10 Great Britain in the
list OF coal producing countries of the
world, must soon rank first Fifteen years
ago the coal production of the United
States was only one-third that of Great
Britain ii is now about two-thirds, and it
is easy 10 conceive that. with the enormous
deposits OF the West practically yet I'M
touched, this country will in the distant
future not only be aole to supply coal to 8
vast population 81 home, but will serve as
siorehouse to the rest of the world, If the
lime is ever reached when their coal de-
posts show signs of exhaustion.-NelrY York

THE Pacific coast, notably California,
has special interest in the International
Exposition to be held at Melbourne the
coming spring. In the selection of rep
resentative upon the Commission from the
United States to Melbourne, Pacific coast
citizen has been suggested in the person of
the widely-known merchant, William T.
Coleman, of San Francisco, and it is prob
able that that appointment will be ten
dered to him. He is said to have ex-
pressed himself-and he is so situated as
to judge well-that Australia expects Cali
fornia to make large exhibition at Mel
bourne. In view of the fact that the trade
of the Australian Colonies largely comes
this way, that we export to them freely,
and that the output of American products
to Australasia is steadily augmenting in
volume and value, the United States, and
especially California, ought to take lively
interest in the Exposition, as it will be an
excellent opportunity to introduce our
manufactures and products anew to the
people of Australia.

him, The official power of the State
seems to be paralyzed in the presence of
the white Cap" organization, and power
less to even attempt to enforce the law and
put lawlessness under its heel For two
years the White Cap" towards, masked
and operating under cover of night, have
terrorized a large section of southern In
diana, and not one of them has been
brought to justice 1t is humiliating that
one of the richest and strongest of the
States should be thus placed at the mercy
of band of desperadoes, who usurp the
office of the law, try, condemn and punish
as to them seems meet, and defy detection
and check. If Indiana is unable to main
tain the public peace and give her citizens
due protection against these midnight ruff
fans, she should call upon the Federal Gov
eminent to assist her-and from present
appearances she is in need of such assist
ance.

AMONG the very first efforts to use the
Lick telescope for purposes of discovery, a
new star was disclosed in the trapezum of
Orion. And Mr.. Clark pronounces the
discovery as of high value to astronomical
science, and as demonstrating the power of
the great telescope. 1t is gratifying to
know that the instrument, which has cost
so much money, and so many years of
labor, meets expectation. For it has not
been wholly free from doubt whether it
would come up to the standard set for it.

SAM SMALL shouts from the rostrum
eff there is an abomination this side of
hell, it is the church fair" To which
the Cincinnati Commercial Gazette replies
Fully as great an abomination are slangy
and sacrilegious revivalists." There is nc
reason why the church fair should not be
as useful, pleasurable and broadly justified
as the fair of any other organized body of
individuals. There is no reason why an
evangelist, in calling men to repentance,
should insult their sensibilities or outrage
the decency of clean language The sur
prise is that so fair paper as the Gazette,
in rebuking Sam Small, should do so in a
manner to leave the impression that it
Endorses the spirit of his coarseness and
objects only to the language employed

The city and county authorities ought
at once to unite in the appointment of
public vaccinators. Sacramento county
has marvelously escaped the smallpox
pestilence, but two or three cases at the
outside having developed in this quarter.
But the city is railroad center; score
of trains arrive and depart daily; we are
in close communication with San Fran
cisco, where the pest is epidemic There
IS. therefore, only recklessness in longer
delaying TO appoint vaccinators. They
should be employed and set to work i'm
mediately and their location and hours
be published, that all the people of the
city and the county who do not prefer to
go to their family physicians, can avail
themselves of the public offices. The stu
alton is emergent, and no considerations of
cost or technical tangles regarding author
ity to create liabilities should stand in the
way of prompt action. There is no cause
for public alarm, but the way to put it
beyond probability of cause arising is to
secure general vaccination.

HENRY GEORGE has returned to his
first love, and is now squarely out for the
Democracy. If we wished that party sue
cess we could not congratulate it on this
return of the back slider. Things fail
generally to which George attaches him
self. His abandonment of the United
Labor party in the very hour when it
most needs leadership, may be taken as a
measure of the sincerity with which
George espoused its cause originally. The
man who is firmly convinced that he is
right in advocating a principle, does not
abandon it and unite with an organization
hostile to the triumph of that principle.
Nor does he leave those he enlisted in its
support to do battle alone, no matter how
folorn the hope of success may be.

California to a considerable extent, it has
been attached TO the system. Manual
training abstractly is good discipline for

Mrs. LELAND STANFORD sends from
Washington $1,000 in aid of the Orphan
Asylum in Sacramento. In doing so this
charitable lady reflects anew the discrimi-
mating benevolence which has SO distin-
gulshed her character. Besides scores of
benefactions to worthy institutions and in
Vulnerable gifts to useful agencies for the
amelioration Of human suffering, this trait
In her character was prominently mani
TEST In the unsparing liberality with which
she founded and maintains number of
kindergarten schools in this State. In
deed the kindergarten system received the
impetus it has in California, and which is
destined TO augment until it is felt in every
part of the State, from the benevolence of
this lady, and which has been seconded by
others who have followed her example.
So, too, the tenderness of Mrs. Stanford for
children and her solicitude for their well
fare, was notably and recently manifest
IN the erection of an Infants Shelter and
Home in the State of New York. and
which she has so endowed as to insure its
perpetuity. By such acts she builds to
herself monuments that will endure
against the assaults of all time. The pos
session of wealth is indeed blessing when
It's dispensation is administered at the die
tates of heart tender for humanity and
quick with generous sympathy. Yet this
lady feels, unless we greatly mistake the
breadth and sincerity of her character,
that her gifts occupy the same plane as
those of every benevolent person who aids
his fellows according to his ability and
does his share in alternating suffering and
advancing the cause of humanity. Vanity
is not factor in her charitable deeds, and
We doubt not that from her secret aims she
has greater reward than flows from those
which come to the knowledge of the public.
