a few days ago dispatch stated that
Mr.. Randall was so much improved in
health that he had hopes of soon taking mis-
seat in the House. Later Intelligence
shows that this hope was vain. On Tues
day he was believed to be dying. Samuel
j. Randall was one of the figures in mo dern
political life that an American likes to
dwell upon. He was in Congress in the
days just after the war, which proved fatal
TO so many public men, but no one has
questioned his personal integrity Holding
year after year a position which he could
easily have turned to his advantage, neither
political friends nor opponents acted in tie
belief that lie could be influenced by con-
sideration of personal gain. He dies after
q long service a comparatively poor man,
but-rich in the honors that fall to honest
service. For some years Mr.. Randall was
a Presidential possibility, but he never
went into convention with large follow
ing He was too independent to make the
alliances which are more powerful than
honest services in. electng men to the
Presidency. Although lifelong Democrat
lie was consistent advocate of the pro-
tective policy, and could never be sweryed
from his conviction on that point. He
shared with Alien G. Thurman the honor
OF being the intellectual leaders of the
party, but. like Thurman, could never
persuade his party to follow.

NOT A LOCAL INDUSTRY.

A dispatch from New Orleans says a
steamship has arrived in that pert from
Hamburg, Germany, loaded with elaborate
machinery for the beet-sugar factory now
under construction at Grand Island, Nebr
In urging that the present duties should be
retained on sugar, Californians have been
charged with selishness in demanding pro-
lection for a purely local industry 1t APP
pears, however, that beet-sugar factories
are going up in other States than California.
Nebraska does not enjoy the best of reputa-
tions in the way of climate, but capital in
that State is not afraid to invest itself in
beet-sugar factories. 1t is probable, as
Senator Stanford says, that the cultivation
of sugar beets can be made profitable where
corn will grow. California is especially
ada ted to this industry, but not to the ex-
tent it is especially adapted to the cultiva-
ton of grapes or citrus fruits If the sugar
duties are not meddled with there will soon
be sugar-beet factories in at least thirty of
the forty-two States in the Union, and
most of the other twelve will to a greater
or less extent cultivate the cane.

ANTI-oH1NEsE LEGISLATION.

As a rule when anti-Chinese legislation is
spoken of reference is made to the laws
passed by Congress. But it appears that
there is a good deal of work that may be
done nearer home. The address of Miss
Gable before the Occidental Branch of the
Womens Foreign Missionary Society puts
into shape and form certain conditions
which have been known TO exist but were
difficult OF proof The assertion has often
been made that polygamy is practiced by
Chinese, but the individual who practiced
it has not been pointed out. Miss Cable
says she has visited and taught in 1872 Chi
neSe families, in several Of which she found
three or four wives living under one roof
These wives are slaves as well as wives.
They cost their husbands from $1,000 to
5000 each. SIN most cases." says Miss
Cable, ''the women are bought in this cOuu-
try in what may aptly be called the open
slave market for there is no disguise about
il at all" They are pnt to work, their usual
occupation being to sew on garments for
stores. This, Miss Cable says, is as true of
the merchants wives as of the poorer class.
In the condition represented there is either
polygamy or slavery or both. If the women
are actually wives, there is pOlygamy; if
they are not wives they are slaves Chinese
merchants are allowed to buy them, to mold
them and to profit by their services. There
is n remedy for this condition of things
without going to Washington for it. The
laws which these Chinese merchants are
living in constant violation of are State and
municipal laws. To become a member of
the American Union every State is required
TO have constitution guaranteeing freedom
TO all residing within its limits. Utah has
been kept out Of the Union for years be-
cause a portion of its people practice po-
lygamy. Yet in California we seem to have
the two twin relics of oarbarism-sIaVery
and polygamy. II appears also that the
Chinese are so powerful that American citi-
zens who conceal Gne of these Chinese slaves
are in danger of their lives. Thirty years
ago it was held to be crime before the law
10 help a negro slave out of bondage. The
law was changed at the cost of the most de-
struetiye war in the worlds history, but the
condition the law abolished now fiourishes
m this State in the face of the law. And
all these offenses against law and good
morals are committed so openly that a lady
who becomes interested in the Chinese
slaves finds no difficulty in obtaining proof

POINT LOBOS AVENUE.


Regular Bi-nTon,hly Meeting of the I'm
provement Climb
The Point Loboseavenue Improvement
Club held their regular bi-monthly meeting
last night at Vorrath's Hall, corner of Point
Lobos and Johnson avenues, F. G. Parker
presiding.
For the Executive Committee, Mr.. Rix-
ford stated that he had called upon the
Superintendent of Streets to ascertain w by
the contract for the grading and sewering
of the avenue, from First to Twelfth
streets, was not in one bid, for, unless
properly attended 10, the work on the
street would be hindered. Mr.. Ashworth
thought the work would be advanced more
rapidly in this way, and, as the contract for
sewering has already been let, he promised
to look into the matter. and, if the prop
erty would stand an additional assessment,
would have the resolution for grading and
maeadamizing the street, from First to
Twelfth avenue, ready before the next
meeting of the Board of Supervisors
Mr.. Figel reported that the City and
County Surveyor had laid out this sewer
district as far as Twenty-third street, but
could go no further unless the streets from
Twenty-third to the ocean were at once
decided to the city or the land near there
eonflscated to enable an outlet of the sewer
to the ocean.
1t was voted that the Executive Commit
tee be Instructed to petition the Committee
on Health and Police of the Supervisors
for additional protection by police. They
claim that only one man is detailed for that
district and he is on duty in the daytime,
and they say that in the daytime they can
take care for themselves, but the recent at
tacks upon people at night cause them to
ask for better protection.
1t was further ordered that a committee
OF four, Figel, Parker, Bruntz and Rixford,
walt upon the Central Railroad Company
and ask that the steam dummies be discon-
tinued and the track removed for time in
order TO push the grading ofthe street.
The SECRETARY was requested to prepare a
petition to the Board of Supervisors for
more electric lights that the people might
be able to find the gas-lights in that dis

has instructed its Superintendent to lay

cay. He ceases to learn, and he who ceases
to learn begins to forget.
This country is no exception to the rules
which govern humanity elsewhere. In the
great countries of Europe the bulk Of the
leading men were either born in cities or re-
ceived their education in cities. and morality
did not suffer in consequence. 1t is the
practice of the best men in Paris, London
and Berlin to spend part of their lives in
country homes, where they can let their
minds lie fallow; but they retain their con-
nection with the city life of which they
have been part. ard they cherish carefully
the ties which bind them to the movement
of human intelligence. Thus their minds
continue to ripen with years in spite Of
periods of inaction and isolation. Their
children are born in cities, grow up there
and wear no rural stamp. The future
leaders of human thought can hardly fail to
belong to this class and national virtue will
probably be none the worse. ..s

Commander Joseph B. Coghlan. who
wrote a rather free and easy letter to the
Vallejo Chronicle on naval affairs for which
he was tried on charges of conduct unbe-
coming an officer and a gentleman and of
conduct such as to prejudice good order and

Tracy having approved the coart-martiaps
findings to that effect.
Arthur ID. January. young man whose
prospects Mt one time were among the
brightest, has been pardoned by the Gov
ernor and leaves the Penitentiary a hopeless
consumptive, his wife having during his in
generation found relief from the worlds
disappointments in death. His downfall
was the result of blind infatuation for
gambling.
Does stage robbery pay? A couple Of
road agents held up the stage from Michi-

valued at $50 With the officers in hot pur-
suit, and the reflection that they overlooked
valuable booty, they will naturally conclude
that it is very hazardous business yielding
very small profits.

WE'RE GLAD TO GO.

In discourse on the great Louisville dis
aster the Sunday after it occurred, the Rev.
Edward P. Ingersoll, pastor of the Puritan
Congregational Church in Brooklyn, New
York, stated with apparent conviction of
the truth Of the statement that many of
the persons who lost their lives by that dis
aster were glad to go. Without iniorsing
an assertion that we have no other means
of knowing to be true than the word of a
man who doubtless believes it to be true,
we would suggest to some Of the timid souls
across the bay that no better test of their
sincerity in the belief they profess to hold
can be given than resignation 10 death in
Gods appointed time. A true Christian
should have no misgivings about the future.
If he has he is a sLeptic, in spite Of his reso-
luton to believe. The Rev. Mr.. Ingersoll
doubtless based his assertions upon the
knowledge-that portion Of those who were
