No DOUBT the companies that are now

No DOUBT the companies that are now
turning out great amount of lumber in
the vicinity of ''Old Baldy" have secured
title to the timber lands they are de-
nuding, but it is greatly to be regretted
that the government ever allowed any
of these lands to pass into the hands OF
private parties. 1t is no answer to say
that it will take century of constant
work to strip these lands Of their forest
of trees. We have no right to rob pos
terity for present gain. But there is a
permanent injury inflicted by this de-
nudating which the people Of this whole
section OF the state are interested in.
Precipitation OF the rain clouds depends
upon the integrity Of these forests, and
every person living below the San Ber-
nardino watershed is affected by their
destruction. The timber lands of our
watersheds ought all to have been with
drawn from sale long ago. The volume
of irrigation possible in the valleys de-
pends upon the precipitation in the
mountains, and if these are denuded to
any extent to that extent the cultivators
are deprived of water with which to irri-
gate their lands. 1t would pay the gov
ernment to buy back every acre of tim
Der land sold to lumber companies in
this state.

EUROPEAN governments are not slow
in protecting themselves against an i'm
migration they don't want. Balfour has
found out that of the great numbers of
emigrsnts that recently came to Eng
land from the continent with the osten-
sible purpose of continuing their jour-
ney to America, a large percentage OF
them have remained there. Balfour
does not consider the labor condition Of
Great Britain in 30 satisfactory state
that it can wholesomely digest this
human influx. The result is that the
British government is about to compel
the stream to flow on to America. 1t is
difficult to see why the United States
should be obliged to receive an immi-
grafton which England peremptorily re-
pels. The probability is that a large
percentage of these foreigners are the
undesirable scum of Naples and other
Mediterranean cities, and likely to be-
come either paupers or criminals wher-
ever they are permitted to locate. It
costs England but little to relieve her.

THR ALAMEDA STREET DISGRACE.

The very disagreeable but always
menacing problem which is called the
social evil, came up for discussion yes
terday before the police commission, by
reason of q request from a number of
citizens, that the women be removed
from Alameda street, where they are
shockingly obtrusive to all who enter
the city by the Southern Pacific. There
is nothing Objectionable about this re-
quest, and everything in its favor, par
ticularly as number of property own
ers on New High street have signi6ed
their desire to have the women returned
to their old quarters there, where they
would be in great measure secluded
from the general public.
It has been asserted often, that the
influence of those unspeakable creatures,
the "macqueraux," extends far into our
city government, an assertion that is in
q measure sustained by the inaction of
all its branches in this matter OF sup
pressing the Alameda-street nuisance,
for there is no question as to the wishes
of the people in the premises. Several
of the wretches. whose slaves the women
are, have made large investments in
that portion of Alameda street given up
to them, and are naturally decidedly
averee to having their property
become comparatively worthless, as
it would be if the women were
forced elsewhere. These fellows have
more or less political influence, decided
ly more than the citizens who are will
ing to appear actively in the good work
of attempting to clear the street, and
the result is that travellers who enter
the city by the Southern Pacific route
have forced on their notice the shame
less exhibition OF vice, which, in other
cities is obliged to geek quarter re-
moved from the way of those who do
not wish to come in contact with it. If
the respectable citizens of this city will
take hold OF the matter In earnest, the
result will be that the council, the po-

THE following question was propound-
ed yesterday to Jpdge Brunson, the rail-
road counsel and a leading Republican
"Why is it that the Republican party in
passing the Mckinley bill advocated it
because it would secure high prices, now
congratulates the people of the United
States, through the platform OF the Min
neapols convention, that the prices are
lower than they were before the passing
of said Mckinley bill? ?" To which Judge
Brunson gave the following conclusive
answer; "A Republican platform is
like the platform to a railroad, which is
made to get in and out on, but not to
stand on"

OUT Of REVENGE,
Quijada Tried to Wreck a Train
to Kill a Conductor.
How Pack Of Cards Secured q
Confession.
A Prisoner of an Unfortunate Appear
ance-He Wanted to Get Even
With q Conductor-Evidence
ia His Trial Yesterday.

Francisco Quijads is ON trial In de-
partment six of the superior court, be-
fore Judge Mckinley, for having placed
a number of railroad ties on the rails OF
the Southern Pacific, at point between
Burbank and Sepulveda, with the inten-
tion OF wrecking train.
The prisoner is about 81 years old, has
q beetle-brow and as villainous a look as
one has the misfortune to meet once in
a lifetime. He seems thoroughly VIC
ious, and has a blood curdling, sinister
smile which speaks of an intensely
vengeful instinct. When Quijads was
first locked up in the city Jail after be-
ing arrested by Detective Will Smith,
he was placed in the same
cell with Juan Vejar, another prisoner.
An interpreter and seven detectives
took position out of sight but within
hearing to ascertain what the prisoner
had to cay. Vejar had pack OF cards,
and explained to Quliada that he was a
fortune teller. The supposed train
wrecker showed himself to be thorough
ly superstitious and easily deceived by a
very ordinary card trick.
''If three kings come out first as
DEAL" said Vejar, land then jack,
that means that you are the man that
tried to wreck the train. The kings you
see represent policemen, and you are
the jack of spades."
Gall right" answered Quijada, ''if
the cards come that way, / will acknowl-
edge the truth"
The cards came out as indicated, and
the prisoner confessed that he had
placed the ties on the track. He ex-
blamed that a conductor on freight
train had put him off while he was try
ing to steal a ride a year before, and
that he had tried to ditch the present
train because he thought the same con-
ductor was running it.
This confession was stated to the Jury
yesterday, and, after argument by coun-
sel, was admitted.
Robert Robertson, the engineer OF the
train, testified to seeing the obstruction
on the track. His train was tagged by
H. G. Powell, the ticket agent at Bur-
bank, who thus assisted in avoiding a
disaster. The conductor of the train
endangered was Fred Bayless. Mr..
Powell told his story to the jury yeeter-
day, as did Louis Cardwell, passenger,
who was waiting for the passenger train
which was Immediately behind the
threatened freight.
B. Camille, who lives near the rpot
where the ties had been placed on the
track, testified that shortly after Z
O'Clock on the evening of the crime
Quijeda had come to his house and
asked for nights lodging.
Detective Will Smith testified to the
manner in which he made the arrest Of
the prisoner in the freight yard at Bur-
bank.
The prisoner was placed on the stand
to testify in his own behalf, but appeared
too stupid to make a good witness. In
an indefinite way the careful questioning
of his counsel caused him to cay that he
had confessed to Vejar to get rid of that
Individual, who, eaid Quijada, was an
noying him.
A recess was taken until 10 O'Clock
this morning.

II THE colored people of the south are
developing this tendency to outrage
women and children as q race charac-
teristic it is one of the diabolical afterre-
cults OF that blot on humanity-elavery
Many of the colored men thus accused
no doubt have white blood in their
veins. Their mothers were raw
ished and debauched by lascivious
masters, and had no protection or
redress. Slavery broke down all
marriage ties, rendered chastity among
female elaves an impossibility, bred
negroes on many plantations as it bred
other live stock. If the seeds of lasciv-
iousness were planted in the breasts of
human creatures thus produced, whose
fault is it? The people OF the south are
reaping fearful whirlwind for the sins
OF past yesrs.
The Times, from which we take the
above, makes g sweeping and wholesale
indictment OF the southern people,
which neither the facts Of the present
nor the history of the past justify.
Whilst we deplore the frequency of the
lynchings in the south, it is rash con-
clusion to charge the whole people Of
that section with responsibility for their
occurrence. Lynching is not sectional
offense, for "the wild and woolly west"
is not q stranger to this kind of rude
justice. Nor can we agree with our
neighbor in ascribing to slavery the
transmission of the peculiar crime for
which these lynchings are the punish
ment. Slavery was common to the
northern states in the last century, but
its adjustment was not followed by an
epidemic of negro outrages upon white
women. It will not be argued
that the people of the north
were more moral than the people
of the south when slavery existed in
both sections. The mulatto and quad
room were not an unknown quantity in
the populations OF New York, New Jer-
sey and Massachusetts, at the beginning
Of the century. The true explanation
of the frequency of negro ravishing Of
white women in the. south is the
great increase in the negro pop
ulation in that section and the
consequent increased percentage of the
criminal element amongst the blacks.
There is no crime that more exasperates
than the one which has become 30 COM
mon amongst the criminal element of
the negroes of the south, and some al
lowance must be made for communities
in which such outrages go often occur.

fit Of the unframed colts. These reasons

A CoLoRED CATHOLIC CHURCH.
One to Be I fected on Capitol Hill-what
Father Conway.says.

One to BE fected ON Capitol Hnl-what
Father Conway. Says.
1t is more than probable that the colored Cath
olics Of East Washington will ere long worship
in church expressly built for them. Father
Conway, man well known for his interest in
and work among the colored race, is in WASH
ington, the guest Of Father O'Brien Of St.
Peters Church, Capitol Hill Father Conway
is here for the purpose Of raising funds for the
erection of place Of worship for the colored
Catholics Of East Washington, having been sent
here by Cardinal Gibbons, who, recognizing
the great need of such o church, sent Father
Conway to Washington for that purpose. There
is no Catholic church in this section of the city
exclusively devoted to the colored people, yet
East Washington probably includes greater
number of colored Catholics than any other
one section Of the city.
In conversation with STAR reporter this az
ternoon Father Conway stated that some a. 900
or 81, 900 had already been raised, but that at
least $25, 900 would be required for the purpose,
it being the intention to erect both q church
and parsonage. The location of the church had
been discussed, but no particular site had yet
been determined upon. The intention was,
however, to SO locate the church that it would
be convenient or possible for the colored
parishioners Of st. Dominic's, st. Peters, st.
Josephs and st. Aloyisius'. Not until $40, 900
was raised would the church be begun, unless,
as he sincerely trusted, some charitable person
would donate them a lot, when, with the money
now raised, work would at once be commenced.
