PEACE RESTORED.
Chinese Highbnders Ouieted by the sia
Companies

Chinese Highbinders Quieted by the Six
Companies
The prospects are that the shooting and
killing in Chinatown is at an end for some
time at least Within the last few weeks
three fracas have occurred and two
men were killed, while The third victim of a
highbinder's bullet now lies at the point of
death in the Receiving Hospital.
Coming so suddenly, this highbinders'
warfare struck terror to the hearts of Chi
nese merchants and coolies alike. Men
walked from their homes into the streets
and without word of warning were shot
down by lawless fellows either in the back
or from dark Railways. Blackmail was the
primary cause. and that, too. impelled the
respectable Chinese merchants TO combine
quietly and lay their grievances before the
six Chinese companies.
Complaints were made, it Is understood.
against the highlander gaug in general and
the Hop Sing Tong and Sue On Tong In
particular as having figured exclusively In
the recent murders. The six companies,
REPRESENTING arbitrary power, and whose
wish is law, sat at their headquarters, I2S
Commercial street. last Saturday, and after
hearing complaints and investigating the
causes of trouble came to a decision which
arranged the existing difficulties.
The proper adjustment Of all differences
has made the wealthy Chinese more COM
Portable than before and feeling of Secur-
ity pervades Chinatown. 1t is understood
that summary mandates sufficient to terrify
even the highbinders were issued, aud that
the longs were given to understand that
peace should be preserved at any price, also
that every peaceful Chinese would do his
best individually to bring the murderers OF
offenders to Justice in the courts.

WHAT IL WANTED.

Our citizens desire 10 be rid OF system
which permits few disreputable persons to
make nominations for the two great political
parties to support at elections. For some
time past it has been unsafe for reputable
people to attend nominating conventions,
for they were, to certain extent, filed with
the worst element in the city.
The nominations were the weak Spots
which required amendment, but we could
not obtain any under boss rule. Our citizens
asked for the adoption by the last Leglsia-
ture of the Australian system, but they
were treated with contempt; but 1t is sup
posed law will be enacted when the Legs-
Iature assemblies. Such an act is demanded,
for it will enable a few persons to make
nominal tons in spite of bossism. Without
such law, the recent victories achieved IN
this city and State will not be complete.

STAELEY-BARrTELOT.

The Stanley-Barttelot controversy is as
Stunning the form of an advertising dodge.
Most Of the parties TO it are preparing books,
and Stanley himself has crossed the Atlantic
to enter upon a lecture tour. If public in
terest can b e kept alive there will be money
in the b oks and in the lecture tour. There
are great many people in the United States
who will give dollar 10 see man who is
much talked about. The one thing that may
be safely said Of Stanley is that almost any
other man would not be alive to tell his
story. Courage inspired him to penetrate
into country Of cannibals and endurance e
brought him out alive. The average man
would have left his bones in Africa, after
the natives had Toasted on the flesh that COW
cred them. The immediate result of these
explorations will be to expose the natives of
Africa to the horrors of warfare. 1t is not

tn ir country to an invader. 1t HScertain,
however, that the invaders can take it.
Modern science makes opposition fantastic.
a gun which will kill at the distance of three
miles imparts to war with naked sayages
the revolving features of a massacre. But
the gun will win in the end. Even the ma
larla arising from swamps will disappear be-
fore the science of engineering. But the
moral question will always remain, If civ ILL
cation has right to annihilate uncivilized
races and take their country from them.

WHO DEFEATED BUCnLEY-

We notice that there is something of a con-
test to explain how it was that the so-termed
Democratic candidates in this city and State
came to be defeated al the recent election
and through whose fundamentally this was
principally brought about OF course Col
onel Markham was an excellent candidate
In other words, those who personally came
in contact with him were convinced that he
was man Of sound judgment, and if
elected was likely to make a good Governor.
So of some other candidates. The Mayor
elect particularly was another good candi-
date. These and other names upon the Re-
publican ticket gave the people confidence
that reform would take place if they were
elected. The nominations of the leading
candidates were the cause OF the Republican
success. But after all it is believed had not
TIE CALL persistenuy pointed out the
dangers of permitting the State and
city governments to be controlled by
Buckley and his gang, the corrupt crowd
would have again filled nearly all of the Of
fees. The CALL commenced the attack
upon Buckley two years ago, and it then to
q certain extent weakened Buckley. THE
CALL said SC much, and the public having
confidence in what it said, they concluded it
was time to dismiss those persons who had
made a mockery of free government. There
was no other morning newspaper published
in this city which seemed to care whether
Buckley filled all the offices. including
Judges, or not. And the so-termed Demo-
cratic newspapers worked steadily for Buck
ley. The victory of the Republican party is
due to those newspapers and persons who
made the contest one against boss rule There
Is no doubt upon this point.

nEEKED wIru CORRUPTION.

We have heard some strange remarks
as we have passed around the city
since the day of election. For instance,
yesterday We were met by an intelligent
gentleman "A Republican-who said he
could not understand why there was such
an uprising by the people in California at
the recent election. We supplemented his
remarks by adding that we could not see
how any intelligent citizen could vote for
such ticket as Buckley and his associates
had given to the Democrats for their sup
port. 1t is bad indication when men who
claim to be intelligent cannot see why Buck
ley's ticket was defeated, when they must
know that it reeked with corruption.

Oh, THAT MINE ENEMY, ETC.

The enemies Of Mr.. Ward McAllister are
indebted to that gentleman for means of
retaliation. Mr.. MeAllster's book on 80
ciety AS l Have Found Ii" exposes him to
merciless criticism. As a conductor of en-
tertainments he was above reproach. He
had studied one thing until he knew it well.
No man in either hemisphere is more COM
petent authority on such Important matters
as the month in the year in which salmon
may be served at a swell dinner or the kind
of sauce which may be served with it. He
has given many years study to intricate
problems of this nature, and if he has not
solved them satisfactorily the man does not
live who can prove that he has not But
clever man with Mr. McAllisters knowledge

ought to write an entertaining book. That
is precisely what Mr.. McAllister has failed
to do. 1t is not that his book is given up to

ing with them creates the impression that
he imagnes himself occupied in kind OF
philosophical research. Darwin in his eyo-
luton of his evolution theory was not more
impressed with the magnitude of his theme
than Ward McAIlister in establishing rule
of etiquette. In most pursuits earneStness Is
an element of success. A writer impresses
a public in proportion as he is able to con-
vince them that he believes his own theories
and regards them as important. But with
society as theme a man may be wise or
witty, satirical or indnlgent. scoffer or
worshiper, but he must be bright. McAllis-
ter's book is both trivial and dull.

WHY SURPRISED?

Some Of our citizens seemed surprised at
the bungliDg manner in which the election
officers managed the polls in this city at the
recent election. The polling places have
been under the control of some of the worst
possible material in San Francisco for sew
eral years past. If we place the ballot
boxes in such hands we need not be sur
prised at almost any thing.
