MISLEADING REPORTS.
No Reliance to be Placed ia San Fra
cfsco NawsnaDarS

No Reliance to be Placed In San Fran
cisco Newspapers.
The following communication to the
San Francisco Basttettn is full of pointed
truths:
Editor Bulletin: There can be no ques-
ton but that the administration of public
affairs suffers in the estimation of citizens
generally from the frivolous style of re-
porting INDUCED in by most newspapers.
The desire to put things in a striking
manner, with piquant and startling
heads, is so strong that a report often
amounts to a positive misrepresentation
and conveys to the public no correct ac-
count of the transaction covered.
Asan illustration of this the meeting Of
the Board of Education last evening is a
good example. The headings and reports
in the morning papers would impress the
community with the conclusion that
squabbling and abuse Of power and gem
orally disorderly and discreditable con-
duct had been INDUCED in. An incident
and the customary friction of all legisla-
tive bodies was magnified, and large
amount of actual work OF the greatest i'm
portance was not even referred TO.
The Finance Committees annual re-
port conveyed facts that the community
ought to know. A decreased income Of
over Sl55,O0O had been overcome by
economy, without any reduction of sal
aries, and over 100000 of savings have
been expended Tor needed additions to
school buildings.
A large number of assignments and
transfers, OF interest to both teachers and
parents, were not mentioned in the re-
ports. The vacant principalship of the
Harrison Primary was filled by the cleo
ton of lady who had formerly been a
principal, but lost her school through
consolidation. More important yet was
the action OF the board in establishing
two additional cooking classes and three
centers for manual training-s step of
great importance-yet not referred to in
any report.
Such instances ought to impress the
community with a disposition to believe
that things are not always so bad as SEN
sational reporting would lead us to be-
lieve. A. b.
San Francisco, August 8. 1894.
The fact is that the San Francisco
papers do not want their reporters to re-
port proceedings of public bodies In de-
tail. The reporter is instructed to ''get a
good story" He attends meeting. and
if he cannot find something out of which
to make "a good story" that is, some
thing sensational, he disp0ses of it in a
few lines, entirely ignoring matters OF the
utmost importance to the public.
The reports Of proceedings of the Leg
islature and State Conventions are OF the
same character. For weeks after the close
of the Republican State Convention citi-
zens of San Francisco were sending for
copies of the RECORD UNION published
during the convention, stating that it was
the only paper in the State which gave a
full and complete report of the proceed
ings. The sensational papers always de-
II, el,nk Id sc,@r1 RI
that the people do not want details. There
never was a greater mistake. 1t is be-
cause of such reports as are referred to by
the Bulletin correspondent that the San
Francisco press is so universally discred-
tied by the people of the State.

GENERAL WADE HAMPTON, in the
North american ReUielO, refers to the fact
that in some instances the mobs commit
ting the grossest outrages in the strike at
Chicago and vicinity were composed en-
tirely of foreigners. who could not even
speak the English language. He COM
ments, with warmth, upon the need to put
up the bars against these disturbing
classes, and stiffen immigration laws so
as to exclude these dangerous elements
the riotous ignorant, criminal and an
archical classes. The difficulty is that no
political party appears to have the courage
to grapple with the matter. The bills
that have passed the House and the Sem
ate for the deportation of anarchists are
good as far as they go, but they do not
touch the quick of the evil. They must
prevent the further dumping of the scum
of European slums upon American soil.
There is enough of the breed here now to
occasion as all the trouble that we de-
serve for having admitted them in the
first place. We must also put stop to
the immigration of foreign laborers until
there is something for them to do here
without crowding our own people out OF
employment.

THE NATIONAL HEART AT THE
EAST,

The Eastern press seems to be of one
mind regarding the late disturb
ance that it was more of rebellion
than of strike; that the assertion of the
power of the Government was splendid
lesson in patriotism which the generation
needed. since only those approaching old
age know of the thrill of patriotic spirit
that stirred the American heart in the
hour of national peril in the sixties.
There is agreement also among all the
leading journals that radical socialists
and anarchists had more to do with the
business than is generally supposed, and
very largely used the strike leaders with
out their knowledge
It is agreed by the Eastern press that
American patience, good humor and
tolerance was such that the rebellion was
a surprise to even the most astute, and
this surprise was responded to by an
| outburst of patriotic spirit of which we
or the Pacific Coast have not full realizs-
ton. AS one journal puts it,:
when the critical time came, the re-
sponse of the Nation was swift and un-
mistakable. 1t was that, and not the
handful troops at the disposal of the au-
thorities, which quelled and conquered
the frenzied mob. It was an encouraging
| demonstration that American patriotism
may still be counted upon in times of
national peril. But still more resssuring
is the form and direction taken by this
aroused sentiment of nationality. II
overrode all partisan distinctions to begin
with, and for brief but blessed season
silenced the ignoble voices which are so
quick to proclaim that there are votes or
party advantage to be got from the
Nations danger. It was the Nation
speaking, not the politicians. Nor was
it the baser passions getting the upper
hand There was no talk of war or ven-
geanee, no comparing our strength and
| dignity and rights with those of another
country, no boastlng OF what we would
do to make our flag and name terrible in
the eyes of the world. 1t was rather that
purest love of country which insists that
country shall be made thing to love.
To make law respected, to make property
and life secure, to strike down the meth
ods of war in time of peace, to affirm and
make good the national responsibility for
order, and the right of every man and
every corporation to labor and to enjoy
the fruits of labor-that, in effect. was the
aim of the quickened national feeling.
and that it has in great degree accom-
plished. Whose is so dull . soul as not
to feel that the country is more worthy OF
respect and love, a better place to live,
than it was a month ago?"

SUPREME COURT DECISIONS.
A Siskiyou County Judgment Con-
frmed on Appeal.

A Sisktyou County Judgment Con-
firmed on Appeal.
The Supreme Court has rendered an
opinion in the case of Herman Quint,
plaintiff and appellant, VS.. George w.
Hoffman ct als., claiming to act as direct
ors, and j. w. Crutcher. claiming to act
as Treasurer, and p. n. Graham, claim
ing to act as Collector of Central Irriga-
ton District, and the San Francisco
Bridge Company, 8 corporation.
1t is an action commenced by plaintiff
in Siskiyou County to enjoin the defend
ant Graham, as Collector Of Central Irri-
CATION Company, from selling any lands
of plaintiff and of others similarly situ-
ated for assessments levied in the year
1892. A temporary Injunction was issued
upon the hling of the complaint, which
was subsequently dissolved upon the
ground that the facts stated therein were
not sufficient to entitle the plaintiff to the
relief demanded, and thereupon the ap-
peal was taken from the order of dissolu-
ton.
The Supreme Court states that the only
question presented by the appeal is,
does the comp plant state sufficient facts to
entitle the plaintiff to perpetual injunc-
tion Z?
After reviewing the case the court holds
that although the tax levied was more
than the plaintiff chould have been COM
PEELED to pay, yet, as he owed part of it
to the district he is not entitled to be
heard in equity till that part has been
paid. and for this reason the judgment is
affirmed.

The entire country is now demanding
the deportation of anarchists and the ex-
clusion of these enemies of society for the
future, together with others of the danger
GUS classes. 1t is not disposed to boast,

ten years ago it began and has ever since
striven to keep alive the protest against
the admission of the foreign scum. Over
a decade ago il sounded the note of warn
ing, and advised that the bars be put
up against any and all dangerous classes.

much Japanese property, protection must
be afforded alike to Japanese and other
foreigners against the assaults of the
rebels, who demand that all foreign
devils" be driven into the sea.
So it would seem that the King of Corea
is unable to maintain himself and sought
the aid of japan, which. while not favoring
the expressions of the Bin dynasty, and
while for reform and progress, does not
believe the rebels to be the proper instru-
ments with which to effect wise changes
Chinaappeals to her imperial right over
Corea, and to the Tientsin treaty, which
guarantees Corean independence and
stipulates that neither Japan nor China
shall send troops to Corea without the
consent of each other. Japan replies that
this does not apply to an appeal for aid
by the lawful Government of Corea.
The strong policy party of japan, and
it is well nigh dominant. makes these
demands as essential to peace:
That TO secure her permanent independence
ana neutrality, Corea must be induced TO in
trodUce reforms in the administration OF her
II ternal and foreign affairs; 10 reject the in
terieIenee OF China in her domestic affairs;
10 conuect her capital with Fusdn and other
important ports by railways; 10 concede to
Japan the privileges OF the coaSiing trade and
OF nshing in territorial waters; to open a few
more ports 1or japanese trade; that Corea's $
acqufescence be Obtained for the enlargement
OF the japanese settlements in the open ports.
On these issues the war has been
opened. If China succeeds, Corea will
become merely an annex of the Empire.
If Japan wins, it will probably result in
the regeneration of Corea and the mod
ernizing of her political and social sys-
TENS.
American sympathy ought to find no
difficulty in locating in such a struggle.
If Japanese influence is evicted from
Corea by Chinese exolusiveness and re-
PROGRESSION, Corea will remain in dark
ness, save that Russia will find an op-
portunity open to plant her ideas of civ
ilization upon the little peninsula. 1t
may begin with the occupation of suff1-
cient coast to afford the Czar an all-the-
year-round open port or two. but such
advance will not be the end. Russian in
fuence viii gradually broaden and will
in time permeate the whole of Corea.
Ii, however. Japan succeeds in keeping
hex foot upon Corean soil there will be
fair likelihood of Corea becoming indie
pendent under a mild Japanese tutor
ship. and Russia win not go beyond se-
curing to herself the open port she COW
cts.

What Was Done by the Board OF Agri-
culture Yesterday.
The State Board of Agriculture held its
usual August meeting at the office of the
Secretary yesterday afternoon. Directors
Hancock. Cox, Green, Shippee, Chase,
Mathews, Wilson, Flickinger, De Long
and President Boggs were present.
The principal business transacted was
the confirmation of various arrange
ments made by the Executive Committee
since the last meeting, and the considera-
ton of ways and means for the coming
fair.
Felix Dunn as Financial Secretary,
and S. @. Ferguson as Clerk of the
Course, were the only employees selected
at this time, further appointments being
deferred until later on.
President Lawton of the Board of
Trustees of Sacramento appeared before
the board and stated that the Trustees, in
conjunction with tha Board of Super

counties making displays OF their agri-

the first premium and S400 enc for seq
ond premium.
This proposition was readily accept ed
by the State Board of Agriculture. and q
vote OF thanks was extended to the rep
resentatives OF Sacramento for their mag
nificent offer.
Many kind remarks were made by the
nonresident members of the board upon
the enterprise and thoughtfulness of
Sacramento toward the encouragement
of large and representative displays from
the rich counties OF the State.
It was stipulated that Sacramento
County should not contest for these
prizes, thereby extending the opportun-

THE Populist Convention of the Eighth
Indiana Congressional District, on the
4th inst, sent to Debs a tender of
nomination for Congress. But he de-
clined the proffer, and this is construed
by the press of that State as a shrewd
move in furtherance of his ultimate cam
didacy for Governor, number of trim
ming politicians having sent him letters
pledging their support, evidently with
the idea of catching the labor vote.
Clearly then the Populists and the Debs-
ties stand ready to join forces, the former
In their anxiety to gather in this sup
posed strength putting aside all their own
preferences, and accepting Debs and his

Union given to the country on the 5th
inst, which, after reciting its verson of
the strike and the failure of the boycott
concludes with an appeal to voters to
cast their ballots for the Populist party.
The whole affair then has degenerated
into device to boost the party of the inn

FRIENDLY TO THE ANARCHISTS

It was to have boen expected that the
Populists in Congress would oppose the
bill to deport and exclude anarchists.
Mr.. Kyle (Populist) of South Dakota was
afraid it would send over the seas those
spectacled theorists and learned pro-
fessors who hold that human nature may
be so far reconstructed that society may
be made cohesive without the aid of law
or the restraints of government.
But Senator Hill promptly replied that
the bill, while it will exclude anarchists
already in the country, viii not affect
those who entertain the fanciful beliefs
referred to by Mr.. Kyle unless they at
tempt to give point to their notions by
throwing dynamite bombs and plotting
to overturn the Government.
In no single instance whore anarchism
has been discussed in Congress, defended
against by authorities, downed by the
strong arm of the law, or its propaganda
lists punished for anarchical crimes. have
the Populist leaders been found on the
side of law, order, liberty and life. They
have invariably either expressed their
sympathy for these enemies of mankind
or have by glum silence manifestsd thsis

The simple truth is that Populism, as
revealed in this day, is blood relative to
anarchism. PETER opposed the suppress
sion of disorder, rioting and murder in
Chicago; Kyle opposes the exclusion OF
bomb-throwers and assassins, and these
chiefs fairly voice the sentiment of the

men in the organization who are deceived

First Twelve Ready.

First Twelve Ready.
A few weeks ago the RECORD UNION
made arrangements with the publishers
of "Harper's Pictorial History of the
Civil War; whereby its subscribers
might purchase each part of the series ol
twenty-six numbers at eight cents pei
part Many hundreds of the numbers
have been purchased by subscribers, and
the remarkably low price at which the
publication is sold has become matter
of general comment.
The history is an excellent one, very
accurate, and written by the foremost
historians of late years. It is very freely
illustrated, and detailed story of the war
is told in most interesting style. The
RECORD UNION might have sold these
parts at a figure considerably in advance
of eight cents and thereby reaped a rich
profit on the sales, hut it entered into the
matter solely for the benefit of its sub
scribers, and is offering each part at exact
cost-eight cents.
The first twelve of these parts have ar
rived and can be seen or purchased al
