this is said 1.-The people to populate
this country are coming from Great
Britain, the north of Europe, and per-

agricultural. Our tent is pitched in the
center of the wheat area of the CONT

sit. and thousand miles east aud west

square of the continent. Here is pure
water, perfect climate, cheap fuel, and
a soil that produces forty bushels of
prime wheat to the acre. AS the soil to
the south under our silly system of agri-
culture becomes exhausted, as it soon
will be, and the average yield per acre
shrink more and more, the wheat grow

movement is sure to come. 1t is one of
the fixed facts of the future il is born
of an agricultural necessity, and when 1t

HAYTI.

The dispatches indicate that the new
Administration in Hayti is deserving of
sound castigation, and it may become the
duty of the United States to administer

Americans, men and women, "by the
wholesale" and proposes to shoot all for
eigners who NEEDLE in Haytian politics.
OF course foreigners must refrain from all
interference between the factions in Hayti,
but Legitime will find it very dangerous
proceeding to summarily try and execute
Americans, especially since our Minister
has given notice of his intention to defend
those charged. If any of our people have

A GREAT deal of unnecessary " fuss " is
being made about the Presidential inau-
gural ball by people who object to dancing
parties generally. We respect their beliefs,
and have no quarrel with them; at the
same time they are bound to respect the
opinions of those who hold the inaugural
ball to be harmless, and simply in line
with custom quite as old as the nation
custom rather of ceremonial than of
dancing. If the objection is to ballroom
costumery then it should be extended to
Presidential, Cabinet and Ministerial re-
ceptions, and to very large part of the
social gatherings OF the capital Let the
clergy continue to preach the gospel of the
Cross and labor for the saving of souls, but

stately affair that is almost inseparable
from an inaugural ceremony, while dancing

THE San Francisco Alta mistakes. if it
reads the REcoRD-UNIoN as saying that
the recount in San Francisco has resulted
in any reversal of the Election Board
counts. The RECORD UNION simply
claims that the recount justified the be-
lief that greater frauds in the late election
than now disclosed can be unearthed in
San Francisco, and when it is done it will
remain to be seen whether men holding
certificates of election will, in the face of
the judicial finding, hold on to the certifi-
Gates, and shelter themselves behind the
political majority in legislative bodies
We entertain the hope that if it is shown
to moral certainty that anyone now
declared elected from San Francisco was
not in fact so elected, that he will bow to
the truth and surrender the office to the
person rightfully entitled to it, and not
seek the shelter of certificate and force a
contest. 1t may be vain hope, but until
it is defeated by fact we will entertain it.

THE COLOR LINE.

Francisco the other night. This signal
victory for the dark-hued knuckles of
Airics son has raised the question of the
color line in pugilism, and all the bruiser
world is agitated over the social ethics of
the nrize ring. The chief of "the fancy"
the boss bully, through his subaltern
bruiser, has announced that he cannot, be-
cause of social considerations, meet the
negro boxer in the ring. This is an emf
nently proper decision or the part Of Mr..
Sullivan. Since he is the pattern of the
ring, the beau-ideal of nose-smashers az
hard hitters, he realizes that upon him de-
wolves the responsibility of deciding
whether it COMFORTS with the social stand

Scare" is continued, but without any
noteworthy success here. At the East it
is probable that the work of that sensa
tional sheet will be quoted as an evidence
that there is a reaction of sentiment on
this coast concerning the exclusion of
Chinese laborers. The truth is, there al
ways have been few-mainly large landed
proprietors and agriculturists operating
upen large scale-who have desired
permanent mudsill or servile labor class.

far-seeing people of the nation pronounced

prevailed, we were told that the South

that ruin would follow the elimination of
slavery that it was an absolute essential
to every industry in the South. But the
result of abolition has not justified the
fears then entertained. How much less
will the outcome of exclusion of Chinese
labor prove harmful to California? Chi

rows trouble from the sensational, selfish
and unwarrmted alarm attempted by

equal to look beyond the present. and the

THE Administration should not hesitate

tity of the letter written by Consul Asst

the Interior, in recalling the impairment

A live Yankee" appears to have con-
ceived the idea of carting the bones of
Christopher Columbus about the world for
exhibition, and through our Consul pro-
posed to the Government Of San Domingo
to divide the profits with it, if it would
consent. The Minister very properly and
much to his credit responded Indignantly,
and in spurning the offer, read Astwood a
lesson IN good manners and common de-
cency which Mr. Bayard should supple
ment by immediate recall. The consular
exploits of some of our representatives
sent abroad by Mr.. Clevelands administra-
ton have shamed and Inundated the ma
ton and emphasized the necessity of
choosing for consular positions men cap
able at least of approaching the common
proprieties of life, and conscious of the fact
that the United States Government is not
an agency for forwarding the penny-whistle
schemes of anyone. Mr.. Astwood will en-
JOY the distinction of having presented to
the world the most humiliating spectacle
of debasement of United States Consular
office.
