The Chinese are evidently thinking better
of 1t in their policy about registration.
Whether the turn of affairs in politics will
hasten their speed toward the registration
Office is uncertain, but the fact that 800 Chi
nese have registered in San Francisco is
pretty good proof that the Monaghan is re-
considering his determination TO be proud
and defiant. Apart from ingrained customs
of his nationality, the dominant inspiration
of Chinsman is genius for business. He
will not risk this activity for his inspira-
tion by refusing TO comply with the techni-
cal requirements OF registration. But really,
it would be better for the country if j John
did not comply with the law. He would
then be required to 90. His civilization is
not amalgamatiye or progressive aud lie had
better remain in the flowery land.
The scheme Of the Southern Pacific Com
pany in asking that the streets in the tract
granted TO the company be condemned is
revealed in the discovery that rival rail-
road owns some of the land. At some time
that land would come into use as termi-
nus, but the Southern Pacific, by manipu-
lating a plant Board Of Supervisors, thinks
1t possible to block this game of opposition.
1t wants to prove that 1t owns San Fran
cisco aud California. 1t has been so sue
cessful in the past In every description Of
UBIQUITOUS j0bbeTy that il imagines all its
plans will succeed. But just as its tactics
have been showed under in this election so
will all it's dirty schemes TO defeat railroad
competition. The thin end OF the wedge il
now driven In. and the big end would follow
Other railroads there must be for this State
and nobody cares what happens in disaster
10 the corrodlng monopoly which selfishly
has so long robbed and debauched Cali
fornia.
1t now appears certain that the famous
horse OrmoDce is coming to California, as
the property of William McDouough. The
horse may be expected In California some
time in summer. When he does arrive the
sportsmen Of the world will have their at
teniion fixed upon California for running
stock, as they already have TO a consider
able extent upon trotting stock. LIZ is a
yeniuresome enterprise and the results
must be Judged Of by the proof Of success
or failure. Mr.. McDonough at least has
the confidence which often drives enterprise
10 success.
In England they are scoring the late Duke
of Marlborough with as manywelts as the law
Of libel will allow. lie had some of the
abilities of his famous ancestor Jack
Churchill, and ad all his vices and few
of his own added. AS soon as the English
found out the INSCRIPTIONS range OF his
propensities he became nobody-a creature
infamous. Talents avail little to correct
moral degeueracy. A magazine article now
and then In radical spirit, however cogent
and reformative, makes no impression on a
people electrified by revelations of debauch-
cry. 1t is sad fate for Mrs. Hsmmersley
that after two years of marriage all the
honor she expected from her marriage
should have vanished. She is homeless In
Blenheim Palace, which she has done so
much TO repair, because under the law of
entail the son takes possession. and the
present MARQUIS of Bland ford. who succeeds
is the son of the Dukes first wife. Perhaps
there is the consolation to the Dowager that
she retains the title Of Duchess Of MARI
