OFFICER ALTERS STAR.
It Causes a Stampede Among High
binders.
They Apparently We're Preparing for
Lively Battle, But Reiterated
From the Field.

Officer Alter spoiled good newspaper
item last evening, and the reporters will
look reproachfully at him until he re-
deems himself in some way, which he is
liable to do at any moment
1t appears that Alter and Water Col
lector Cavanaugh were sauntering up l
street, about halt-past 7 o'clock smiling
the delightful odors that rose from the
underground precincts of that thorough
fare.
When opposite the Fong Duck longs
headquarters, near Second and L, Cava-
naugh's gaze fell upon a swarm of stall
wart Cinnamon out on the upper balcony,
and it occurred to him that then was
good opportunity to collect some delin-
quent water rates, so he started across the
street.
Alter followed him, and as soon as the
Cinnamon got onto' his shining star
there was a lively stampede from the bal
cony to the interior of the building. This
movement aroused the ollicer's suspicion,
ami he dashed into the building, only 10
see the highDinders flying out the rear
through doorways and windows.
Almost in an instant the swarm of
! Celestials had Standardization 10 the
!
number of overgrown pistols, which he
gathered up and took to the police station.
They were all of the standard highlander
proportions and quality, and were loaded
as if for bar"
The presumption is that about the ii me
Alter and Cavanaugh appeared on the
scene the gentle Fong Ducks were pre-
pairing Tor one OF the semi-occasional
Chinatown rackets, and that they sup
posed someone had given Alter the tip
lee Jim, who had the pistol practice
on Sunday evening with All Leum, is
prominent member OF the Fong Duck
| Tong, which appears to be the fighting
section of the Chee Kong Tong, and there
fore the deadly rival Of the Bing Kong
I Tong, with which gang, oddly enough,
Y ee Jim's enemy, All Leum, trains.
The probability is that matters were all
arranged for an outbreak last night be-
tween the belligerents, and that Alter
spoiled the tun.
The Fong Duck fighters are very nicely
fixed for a battle. Their headquarters is
two-story brick building, with a bal
cony overlooking the street, from which
they could pour a deadly volley upon
| their enemies below or on the opposite
sidewalk and then retreat before losing
many Of their force. The building fairly
swarms with men, especially at night.
and can probably turn out a hundred
lighters at the crack of pistol.

WHO will deny that the following state
ment from the Iol0a State Register IS
sound: 1.-THE silver miners have just the
same right to go to war that the corn pro-
ducers have when the prices of corn go
down-none at all. All the buster which
comes from a few men in Denver will
have no effect. If Colorado wants to re-
pudiate its debts, that State will not re-
cover from the effects for fifty years to
more obligation to buy all of Colorado's
silver at 81 an ounce than it is under OBJ
legation to buy all of Iowa's corn at 81 q
bushel.n

Duncan Mckenzie, who was arrested in
Stockton on charge of evading board

Rubenstein, the proprietor of milk

he left pair OF pantaloons with him and
could not get them back. If it were a

Two dove hunters set fire to some
stubble on the Haggin ranch on Sunday
ana 1t came near burning 800 acres Of
grain belonging to Jacob Heintz. The
latter and his man had to fight the flames
all day. 1t wouldn't be bad idea for the
Superintendent to publish warning to
hunters to keep Off the grant.

THE United States needs to send a
ship-of-war to Nicaragua to teach the
revolutionists manners. These fellows
opened fire on Managua without notice,
and gave no opportunity for non-com-
batants and foreign residents to retire
from the city. The act was an outrage, a
barbarous proceeding, and its perpetrat-
ors ought to be strung up at the yard
arm. Headed by American Minister
Baker, the foreign representatives have
entered an indignant protest against the
outrageous violation of the laws of war
and of the international code. This
should be followed by the dispatch of
cruiser to the spot, with orders to teach
the revolutionists decency, if need be by
the use of powder and ball.

IT now turns out that Governor Alt
geld of Illinois prior to election gave an
emphatic pledge not to pardon the anarch-
lists. Because he was suspected of auarch-
istic leanings the pledge was exacted
from him by leading members of the
Democratic party. Had he not given the
pledge he could not have been elected.
But then, in the scheme of anarchical
ethics probably all things are pardonable
to attain the ends of the party of blood
and disorder.

Mr.. JOHN P. IRISH, in his silver de-
bate with Senator Stewart at Ogden,
uttered a truth that the silverites refuse
to recognize when he said that Natural
laws govern the value and guide the cir
culation of currency, which are as
much beyond artificial control and the
reach of statutes as the natural laws
which govern the sunshine and the
storm. An Act of Congress may obstruct
the laws of nature, but in the end they
exact penalty"

IN this matter of the Midwinter Fair.
project which the RECORD UNION has
commended. there is danger that as TO
fruit exhibits there viii be lanentable
shortage unless steps are at once taken to
secure the goods. Take it in the north
SolanO and y olo sections, which produce
excellent fruits, the crops were not up to
average all through, and now are almost
gone. We are informed that few if any
examples were kept fit for exhibition.
So, as to these fruits, the Midwinter
Fair will have to fall back upon such
specimens in jars as were prepared for
the Chicago fair, and half of that lot was
broken and lost en- route. Now the
season is rapidly passing, and no steps
are taken 30 save exhibit samples for the
fair. Producers are short of money; they
will sell all they can, and make no outlay
to jar samples unless some steps are
taken at once to induce them to do 50.
One OF the chief values of the fair to Cali
fornia is the advantage it will give her to
show her products to Eastern and
European visitors. If we are to make
such a showing, something must be
done at once to save some of the most
representative types of produce of this
season for the exhibition that is to open
next January.
