Mitchell county, was aroused about 0
o'clock at night by several men

Osborne responded to the call and found
nimself confronted by a mob After
having several questions put to him, h.
was fred upon, and received wounds
from which he died almost instantly. A
number of men were suspects d of the
murder, and several arrests were made
the next morning All were released.

ONRAY, CAL, Jan. 4.-The first stage
to and from the new San Juan gold fields
has returned to Dolores, having made
the trip to Bluff City and returned in
four days with one coach, six horses and
twenty one passengers. Two stage pas
sengers report that there are 1000 men
there and the rush continues at the rate
of six hundred daily. They are scattered
over a territory of $50 miles in extent.

Plague of Fever in New York.


NEW YORK, Jan. 4 4-Typhus fever is
now doubtless an epidemic. Before ten
o'clock this morning the health officials
had discovered ten new cases, all on the
east side of the city and in the most
thickly populated districts. To days
cases make total OF forty-one victims
since December /, when the plague first
broke ont There was one death from
the disease at North Brothers island dur
ing the night, John Silsky, who had
been taken from "a BsyarG street. 1t
looks as though the disease had made
great headwsy with the health depart
ment There was some delay in taking
rigid precautions against scourge as far
as lodging houses are concerned, and to
this may be attributed the rapid advance
which the disease has been making. All
| lodging houses south of Fourteenth street
and there are 1T of them, were visited
last night by health inspectors. Every
one of the dodgers we're examined. 1t is
intended to prevent overcrowding OF
these places and to compel the proprie
tors to place no more beds in the rooms
than their licenses allow. The pest hole,
"a Bsyard street, where the first case
was discovered was found to have thirty
seven beds in excess. The total numbe.
of dodgers in all the lodging houses in
the city is 5000. The health board
will meet to day 70 take additional steps
to prevent spread of the plague.

The gratuitous charge of the Post
Intelligencer that the papers of the
state urging the Spartan handlat Olym-
pia TO stand by their colors are work
ing in the interests of the Democratic
party, is piece of demagoguery of the
rankest type. If to give an entire
and unreserved endorsement of the
platform promulgated by the national
convention at Minneapolis confers the
dignity of membership in the Republic
can party, then then the HERALD is
Republican pure and undefiled. But
II to bow in the dust to one or two
men in Seattle, and cry "Yea, YEA"
whenever they nod, means Republi-
canism, then the HERALD is in the
ranks of any other party to which the
Pr. or any other journal of its ilk
chooses to consign us.

In connection with the Hawaiian an
nexation proposition, it is interesting to
recall the fact that Texas came into the
Union in the very way in which the COM
missioners hope to make their islands a
part of our territory. Texas people,
among whom were hundreds of citizens
of the United States, achieved their in
dependence of Mexico. Then they voted
in favor of annexation to the United
States and sent commission to treat
with our government ON the subject.
Hawaii has done likewise. Congress
passed a resolution authorizing the an
nexation. Then the commissioners went
back to Texas, and by great vote the
people ratified the annexation act, and
so Texas became a part of the United
States. At the same time that it passed
the resolution authorizing annexation
the congress Of that day made provision
allowing Texas at any time to divide into
four states, which Texas is too wise to do.

nearly year ago the Chicago COM
mon council gave an order that the gar
bage in that city should be disposed of by
cremation. Public crematories are not
elaborate affairs, and one can be built
in months time OF less If Chicago
gets her crematories in successful opera
ton before May, 1t will be an additional
inducement for outsiders to visit the
Worlds fair. Meantime the right way
to dispose of garbage Accommodations, no:
only in Chicago, but in every city, is 10
cremate them, and the matter ought to
be followed up at once. The heaps OF
filth and decaying organic matter that
gathered in the streets of cities this win
ter and could not be carted away on &C
count of the cold weather were an OBJ
ject lesson that ought not to be neglected
A way will be found in the future to
make garbage as valuable as the golden
dust heap of Dickens novel. But until
that way is found the garbage ought r.
be burned, every pound Of 1t. The re-
sulting ashes could be sold at a good
price. II cholera should come next sum-
mer, garbage dumps will invite IL to rest
and ravaee.

The Tesla Electric Light.

Ii set Of experiments that have been
scientifically successful can be made
commercially profitable, then we are on
the eve of a new departure in electric
lighting which is dazzling beyond the
power of cold, matter of fact reason to
follow all at once. Nikola Tesla is
sometimes called electrical wizard No. 2.
on account of his marvellous and fascinat-
ing work in field similar to that of
Edison.
Tesla's greatest achievement-that is,
If it will go-is the production of an
electric light without either globes or
wires. We may then hope to be rid Of
that painful bobbing up and down Of
the light which as yet seems inevitably
attendant on the steadiest system of
electrical illumination. Under Tesla's
system all the apparatus is concealed. A
beautiful incandescent glow is produced
between the opposite walls of room Ly
means of rapid and powerful alternating
currents. All that one sees is just the
soft glow of light, like daylight. If this
wonderful discovery is practicable, then
we shall literally be able to turn night
into day and have night light that is as
good as daylight
Edison has been trying for years to
find a way to produce electricity directly
from coal without the intervention of
the steam engine. Tesla says he has
found something even more wonderful
than that. 1t is a method whereby a
man can draw electricity directly from
earth and air in any quantity and util-
ize it for any purpose at any time.
Well, we shall see.

The re-chartering of the Theobald TO
load coal at the Blue Canyon bunkers
is a decided point in favor of Belling-
ham bay. The commander was so
gratified by the rapidity with which
his vessel was loaded and the protec-
ton offered by the authorities in the
threatened contest between the union
and non-union sailors, that he has given
the port good name among all the
ship captains in San Francisco, and
they in turn are becoming DESTROYS of
bringing their vessels to this port. The
strenuous efforts of other Sound ports
to cast discredit upon our harbor and
its advantages are beginning to be
thoroughly understood by comman-
ders of vessels, and it only remains for
those In authority to continue the good
work already begun in the line of offer
ing protection and furnishing convent
ent grounds for discharging ballast to
make this the most popular port OF the
entire coast, The shipping Interests OF
the Bay are decidedly on the increase,
the number of vessels already having
arrived, combined with those now I'M
der charter, raising the number thus
early in the year, beyond the entire ex-
port of 1892. There can be little doubt
that the present year will prove the
most active in shipments of any in the
history of the Bay, and it is to be
hoped that every convenience will be
provided which the increased number
of vessels will require so that each COM
mander, as in the case of Captain Kill
man, will take pleasure in returning.

About Immigration.

Mr.. Gustav II. Schwab has his say in
The Forum as to methods of preventing
the evils of immigration. He would not
have it stopped entirely. That would
work hardship to us as well as to the
steamship companies and their passen-
gers. But he would have immigration
regulated. The steamship companies
and their agents should be held to a
strict sitting of their would be passen-
gers The tendency among European
governments, as Mr.. Schwab very justly
points out, is to get rid of their unde-
sirable citizens and keep at home able
bodied, honest men capable of earning a
good living and doing military service.
He mentions in particular the case of an
Italian ex-convict to whom the govern
ment of his country gave a passport
duly signed and stamped. although he
had served sentence in Ancona of 10
years for robbery.
To guard against political dangers
from foreign immigration Mr.. Schwab
would extend the time for naturaliza-
ton. 1t is interesting to note, by the
way, that 25, 900 Russian Poles and &c, 900
Hungarian laborers and peasants come
to us annually at present, with more Ital-
ians than both these put together. The
character of our foreign arrivals has so
changed that changes in our immigra-
ton and naturalization laws are neces-
sary to meet it.
Mr.. Schwab wants the quarantine
that, too, of the most rigid quality-es-
tablished at the port of departure in
stead of at the port of entry. He thinks
that at one blow this would cure the
worst evils of immigration. He says:
The only rational way TO solve this quaran-
tine problem is TO place the quarantine at the
port Of departure, and there to hold the steer
age passengers. under control of the United
States consuls or Of other United States off,
cials, for such length of time as medical sci
ence shall consider necessary to effect thor
ough disinfection Of the person and Of the
baggage OF the immigrant. When this Is done
and the quarantine at the port of departure is
supplemented by careful observation during
the voyage and a searching examination on
arrival, no lengthy quarantine on this side will
be required, and the possibilityof the introduce
ton OF disease will appear TO have been abao-
lutely removed.

The Farmers Review says that the
time has come for the increased intelli-
gence of the farmer to find ample scope
at home, not that he may make his
farm produce more bushels of grain,
but that every bushel of grain may
augment his personal happiness and
usefulness as well as the usefulness of
every member of his family, not ex-
cepting the hired man. The farmer is
not a sovereign, but he is one of the
many whose aggregate voice, as ex-
pressed by majority, is the sovereign.
AS such he is at the mercy of the de-
signing demagogues unless he has that
broad culture which lifts him above
mere class legislation. 1t is only the
narrow mind which sees no further
than the bounds of his own horizon.
The broad man sees in the pillow and
the loom and the locomotive and the
press and commerce only parts of one
stupendous whole, whose interests so
interlock that one cannot suffer with
out all being imperiled; nor can one be
placed above the others without in the
end suffering loss. For this reason
there is need Of the highest order of in
telligence among farmers.
