A GOOD BEGINNING.

The conviction of Leonard, the fnan-
cier who looted the Santa Clara Bank, is a
step in the right direction. A second step
will be the execution of the sentence. The
evidence upon which be was convicted
was so conclusive that failure to punish
would arouse the community. There are
too many people in this city with sore
hearts over losses through the Leonard
method Of fnan ciering to permit of trifling
with justice. 1t IS time to teach the smooth
Tascas who take TO bank-plunderlng as the
safest form of robbery that the line they
have chosen is especially dangerous. While
crime is crime and robbery is robbery,
there are crimes and robberies that are
worse than others. The worst of all is
that which involves betrayal of conf
dence. The honOTed guest who plumbers
his host is more contemplate than the
bold burglar who forces his way INTO the
house. There are grades in crime lower
than that reached by the man who con-
Verts to his own use money entrusted to
his care. While there may be crimes which
call for little tempering of justice with
mercy, there Is no justice too stern for the
purloiners of the savings of poor men,
widows and orphans.

CHINESE TRICKS.

Good Mr.. Secretary Carlisle has diseoy-
cred that the ways of Chinese are indeed
dark: Il appears that the number of GER
tifcates of registration issued is nearly
equaltO the number of Chinese the census
shows TO be In the country. Now, as there
are several thousand Chinese who donot
need to register the horrible suspicion has
entered Mr.. Carlisle's mind that the Chi
nese have tricked the registration officers.
People on this coast think that Mr.. Car
isles suspicion is well founded. Some
Chinese have smuggled themselves in since
the census was taken, and some have req
1stered number of times with the inten-
ton OF selling one or more sets of certifi-
Gates. 1t is not In tie nature of a China
man to do just what the law requires him
to do. he would suffer in his seIf-respect
II he should fail to beat the law at some
point When they made up their minds to
register they made up their minds to reg
lister as often as possible. If one'certifcate
was good for the person who registered
another would be equally good for some
other person who had not registered. The
fact that certificate of registration would
be good thing to have handy In the case
OF Chinese smuggling themselves In
through Canada or Mexico into the United
States could not fail TO impress the Chi
Dese understanding. But, after all, regis
tration is distinct gain. Unless forgery
is resorted to the number registered Iimi's
the number who may lawfully remain in
the country,

TIRED OF LIFE.

1t is reported that somewhere from
10000 to 1900 sheep persisted in the late
storm between Sonoma and Strawberry
Station. This large mortality amoug sheep
may be accepted in some quarters as an
indication that sheep are disheartrned.
They may not consider life worth living.
They may, through certain sheep in
stincf, have received the impression that
they are no longer valuable product
They may have reasoned-if sheep may be
supposed to TeasoD-that as their fleece Is
now nearly worthless a period of hard
times for them is about to set in. A sheep
is an observing animal and its conclusions
must be that animals are cared for some
what in proportion to the profits derived
from them. What, then, is the outlook
for an ordinary, everyday sheep under a
Democratic administration? Gloomy in
deed. A friendly storm came on and
10000 to 1900 embraced the opportunity
TO die without mourning a suspicion of
suicide

CONGRESSIONAL SALARIES.

A controversy is going on in Eastern pa
pers over the proposition to withhold
from members of Congress pay for DAYS OF
absence without leave. The sergesnt-at-
arms of the House has declined to go be-
hind the certificate presented by each
member when he draws his salary, hold
ing that il is matter between each MEM
Der and bis own conscience. On the other
side 1t is commended that the sergeant-at-
arms should ascertain whether or not their
account is honest. Mr.. Snow, the SER
geant-at-arms, has the best of the argu-
ment as il stands. He says the law does
not require him 10 question the certificate
of any member of Congress, and that he
does not propose to go ous of his way to
make trouble for himself. This seems
conclusive as to Mr.. Shows duty in the
case, while it leaves the value of the law
an open question:. Honest mem 5ers will
present an honest account. and conse-
quently the law as it stands favors men,
bers whose sense of honor Is less delicate.
Docking N embers for a days absence is
rather small business. II would be I'M
pleasant for the sergeant-at-arms when
an eminent member approaches for his
mouths salary TO ask the member 20 raise
his right hand and solemnly swear that
his account for services was correct. Such
proceedings de- not eompoIt with the dig
nifty of the office. Congressman are paid
by the year, and much of their work is
done when G ongress is not in session.
Seme are worth more than their salary
and some less. In all such cases it is bet
ter TO even up than to even down.

There is some truth, at any rate, In
this view OF the case; and II applies
even TO dogs, as is shown strikingly

II. II. Elliot
Mr.. A. told me that he once
wounded a tiger which afterward
sprang on him, knocked b III down,
aud seized him by the hand and a III.
With Mr.. A. was large dog, which
at once attacked the tiger, and di-
verted him from Mr.. A. After drlv.

Mr. A., and commenced worrying
him, but was again attacked by the
dog.
The dog was driven or three or
four times, but the tiger was all the
while losing strength, aud nnally
died. The dog was uniniured. Now
comes the curious part OF the story.
The dog, which was not aticctionate,
belonged TO Mr. A. 's'brother, and pre-.
Viou'lv had taken no interest in any
one but his master. Now. however,
he refused To go home with his
master, but stuck closely TO the

wound, the dog logan 10 growl and
