Chinamsn to Pieces While He Was Alive.

BRIDGEPORT. CAL. Nov. 3o.-The grand
jury has rendered a lengthy report of its
investigation of the death of All Quong
Tia. q chinamsn. who was tortured and
cut to pieces by Indians. Ah Quong Tia
was charged by the coroner's jury with the
murder of Poker Tom. an Indian who wf
found cut TO pieces The reporl
says the justice OF the peace
discharged All Quong from custody when
the evidence was sufficient to hold. and
that the prosecuting attorney did not OBJ
iect when counsel for tho defense moved o
dismissal against defendants wish. well
knowing that their client would be muir
dered if left unprotected. The report
finds that when defendant was dis
charged the court refused to give him
protection, but left the courtroom and
announced the result of the examination
on the street. Three or four Indians hen
rushed into the courtroom, seized The
Chinaman. took him 10 the outskirts of the
town, and cut him TO pieces while alive.
The sheriff hac positive kno Wedge of what
was going on. but refused TO protect the
victim unless paid for II. The Indians. who
were from the government reservation ut
Walker Lake. New, were encouraged in their
criminal act and abetted by some citizens
of the town. The report concludes: The
police officers of this town utterly failed in
their duty, n thereby have caused q
cloud of shame and disgrace TO harg over
our people" The action of the deputy dis
trict attorney Is also severely condemned.
All Quong was born in California. and con-
sequently was a citizen of the United
States.

CHANCE FOR MORE TROUBLE.
Tennessee COnyicts Will Be Returned to the
Mines if 1t Takes Regiments to Do It.

NASHVILLE, Tenn, Nov. 30.-''Thec ~onvicts
shall be returned to the mines if il takes
every able-bodied man in the State to do It."
said Governor Buchanan last night :
when will they be returned, Governor"
he was asked.

"WIll you send a military guard with

IL cannot tell you that. / can simply say
that the convicts shall be returned to the
mines If it takes every ~able-bodied man in
the State to do it. Is not that enouyhf"
Although the Governor was reticent, from
other sources information was gathered
concerning the matter. The lessees have
made a demand upon the State for the con-
victs. The question was answered prompt
ly that the convIcts captured would be re-
turned # supplied with sufficient
guard and proper quarters The prop
er quarters Will be built at once.
This will take about two weeks. The ques-
ton of guards required not a little consid-

Oliver Springs. ali these will be In the
pay of the Iessees. Twenty-Five at each
place, it is thought. will be militiamen
depEtized to do guard duty. In regard to
this last feature, Governor Buchanan wired
Gen. :. L. Carnes, of Memphis, brigadier-
general of the Tennessee militia, to cone to
Nashville. They were in consultation oil
the afternoon. A veil of secrecy WAS
thrown around the result reached, but It
may be taken as reliable that the plans
given above were not changed. The guard
Will not be from the existing companies of
the State. The men will enlist for tho pur-

leased convicts have been recaptured.

THE NEGRO'S MISSION.
Governor Hcgg, Of Texas, Says 1t Is to Civilizs
Africa-His Talk to Colored Preachers.

AUSTIN. Tex. Nov. 30.-Bishop Grant and
q delegation of colored ministers who have
been attending conference here called on
the Governor to-day in reference to the
working of the separate-coach law. Dur
ing the interview the Governor took ocoa-
sion to address the members of the commit
tee. some Of whom were from the North
ern States. He said the State was
dominated by the Democratic party, which
had equally divided the school fund with
the negro when it had the power TO have
done otherwise. Addressing q Pennsylva-
MIA preacher, the Governor said: when
you 60 back North tell your people that
the people of Massachusetts, first brought
African slaves TO America Slavery was q
Godsend, and emancipation a Godsend,
because. as the Governor believed, these
two causes would eventually result In the
enlightenment of Africa, which could he
done by the negro himself better than the
white man. he counseled the coloTed race
of the South to send all its surplus edu-
Gated young men to the Dark Continent; he
believed that was the great historical mis-
sion of the Southern negro.
The committee called on the Railroad
Commissioner and complained that some of
the roads were not carrying out the sepa-
rate-coach law, ana the coiored people
were not given first-class accommodations
nor permitted to ride in sleepers. Chair
man Regan promised to investigate the
first complaint. but stated that the law
was silent as to sleeping coaches.

sUGAR-COATED COMMUNISM.

A favorite assertion of free-traders.
calamityites, communists, socialists and
all the apostles of discomfort is that
under our present system of govern
ment and laws "the rich are growing
richer and the poor are growing poorer"
This catchphrase has served to round a
sentence or inspire an ~oratorical flight
for thousands of calamity orators. From
Mrs. Lucy Parsons to Mr.. Henry George,
through the whole scale of communists
and free-traders, it has been made to do
service IN feeding the flames of discon-
tent and trying to convince %unthinking
people that it is their duty to organize a
war of the masses against the classes.
To assert as a universal or general
rule in this country that the rich are
growing richer and the poor are grow
ing poorer is worse than q ~threadbare
phrase and worse than misleading falla-
cy; it is q barefaced lie, Intentionally
vicious and full of dangerous sugges-
tion. There never was another country
on earth nor ever a time in this country
in which every avenue of life was wider
open to honest merit than here and now.
Never before in the history of the world
was there a freer field or q fairer race
for the swift, the strong, the sober, the
industrious and the ambitions. To
assert that all the rich are growing
richer is a lie, for many of them, through
incompetence, extravaganza, misman-
agement, intemperance and other weak
nesses or vices, are constantly falling
behind in the race. To say that all the
poor are becoming poorer is another lie,
for thousands of them, through ability,
industry, thrift and temperance, are
constantly getting on and up. A great
many rich men or ons of rich men are
growing poor, while a great many poor
men are growing rich The capitalist
of to-day is tho beggar of tomorrow,
the wage-worker OF journeyman of this
generation is an employer and capitalist
the next. Some rich men are growing
richer, but not all; some poor men are
growing poorer, but not all. The saw
ings banks of the East and the building
and loan associations of the West show
that the poor are not growing poorer.
The bulk of the wealth of the country is
in the hands Of moderately well-to-do
people and poor people who are work.
ing. saving and getting on, slowly, per-
haps, but still getting on. The cry that
the rich are getting richer and the poor
poorer is the cry of ~loafers, communists
and demagOgues who are interested in
promulgating false ideas and stirring
up class hatreds. The men who preach
such doctrines and who embrace every
opportunity to attack capitalists and
abuse wealth are public enemies. differ
ing only in degree, but not in kind, from
Anarchists.

AN INTERESTING BRITISH OPINION.

Some n has sent the Journal a copy
of a paper published in Cardiff, Wales,
one of the towns interested in the tin
plate industry, containing an abstract of
the address of Major Jones. one of the
Liberal candidates in that borough for
the British House of Commons. About
the first topic the speaker and candidate
takes up is the condition Of the tin-plate
industry, upon which the more flourish
ing towns of Wales depend, on which
topic he is reported as follows:
Dealing with the American elections, he
reminded his hearers that although the
tariff bill was. In O measure. OH its trial,
there were a large number of cross issues,
and whatever the result of the elections
might be, it would establish the Judgment
of the people with reference to the McKin-
ley bill. Next year the general election
would take place. and then the tariff
bill would be the issue of the
campaign; He believed that if sides
were taken Of the Mckinley bill
the tariff wall would have to come down.
In the States the night was whether it shall
be free trade, or pr0teotion. tree-traders
were IN q majority in the lower house.
and be submitted thai the shrewd Ameri-
can was not in the least likely TO go into
the manufacture of tin-plates until next
years election was over. IL ut the next
general election Mr.. Cleveland, who wouid
probably be the candidate of the free-trade
party. was returned, the Mckinley wall
would have to 90 down.
How clearly this intelligent British
free-trader puts the issue in the pending
election: ain the States the issue is
whether it shall be free trade or protec-
tion." How intense is the interest which
this alien and the representative of in
terests hostile to those of the United
States expresses in the success of the
free-trade party. But the British Lib
eral is mistaken about "shrewd Ameri-
cans" They are so shrewd that they
have no idea that the free-traders can
carry the next election, and are going
right on establishing tin-pIate plants.
1t is the most fortunate of circum-
stances that Great Britain cannot vote
in the election in this country. If it did
it is probable that Mr.. Cleveland would
be elected. The most that the British
Democrats can now do is to furnish
money to the American free-traders to
assist them to secure n British triumph
in q United States election.

DURING the last year there were
shipped from Malaga, Spain, to the
United States 3S,OS9 pigs of lead and S.
$50 tons of iron-ore, the latter valued at
1927, 704. This is like shipping coal 10
Newcastle. 1t is made possible by rea-
son of the extremely cheap labor in
Spain, where miners receive only 40 to
80 cents per day, while our miners get
from SO to So per day. Day-laborers in
Spain get from 80 to 40 cents per day,
brick and stone-masons from so to 60
cents per day, and good mechanics $500
per week. This tells the whole story.
Cheap labor enables Spain to send iron
ore and lead to the United States.
