A CHARGE AGAINST LABOR.

The Vscaville Reporter at length ex-
plains why Chinese are employed there
in the fruit harvests. Boiled down it
amounts to this: The success of fruit har-
vesting all depends upon promptness
and reliability. Nearly every expert
ment with white workers has resulted in
the growers being left in the lurch, when
it meant ruin to them.
Every effort to have the white laborers
guarantee reliability and faithfulness
has resulted in refusal and failure. A
gang of white men in the midst of the
harvest would, we are told, any morning
turn out half it's force only, the others be-
ing off on a drunk or quitting when
few dollars were paid them. Moreover.
fruit harvesting requires skill that can
only be acquired by the willing and pa
tient, and the white laborers refuse or
neglect to learn, and treat fruit harvest
ing only as makeshift.
On the other hand. the Chinese give
guarantees; their gangs turn up every
day with full ranks, and they pick and
pack precisely as they are told to do. The
Yaca Valley growers prefer white labor
! if it can be had that is reliable and that
will not imperil the crop by sudden ces-
sation of labor.
Here now is an indictment to which
labor must plead. Is it true? If so,
why? Why is it that white labor will
not organize in bands and give guaran-
tees that harvest entered upon shall not
be left at any moment to ruin2 Is it
whisky that is at. the bottom of the diff
eultyP Is the unreliability complained
of incurable? Or, indeed, is it wholly
true charge?
Opposed as the RECORD UNION is to
Chinese labor. antagonizing as it does the
displacement of white labor by the Chi
nese and other non-assimulative classes,
it holds it to be the duty of American
labor organizations to clearly investi
gate the charges, get at the bottom facts,
and apply the remedy.
1t is silly to say that intelligent white
workingmen cannot guarantee the fruit
growers as reliable service as can the
Chinese. We believe and know that it
can be done. and that the cause Of labor
owes it to itself and the State to prove this
to he trua

The sentiment in Rocklin over the
trial Army is changing rapidly since
Constable Fleckenstein was released by
Justice Gwynn of Auburn.
A number of persons there condemned
the Constable for using his pistol when
his life was in danger, but since all the
facts of the affair have been elected the
feeling has turned in his favor.
Some of the residents of Rocklin are
inclined to believe that the fire that oc-
CURED there last Saturday night was the
work OF some member of the army, who
took that method of avenging themselves
on some of the witnesses for the defense,
whose places of business were destroyed.

REcITING the Decker case the Oakland
Times says: 'sThus the whole fabric of a
huge sensation, which had worked up a
community nearly to the pitch OF lynch
ing an innocent man, vanished into thin
air before little genuine inquiry. But it
is not the fault of the newspapers that
Decker was not hanged. They worked
every artifiee to infame the public mind,
and they would have made it very bad
for Decker had his wife and daughter not
been found.' The Times should have
said sensational newspapers" The de-
cent, self-respeeting press. that believes
in giving every man fair show, had no

ANOTHER PENSION BuGABoo.

A great deal Of nonsense has been
about the action of the Democratic adj
ministration in reference to pensions
There have been nearly as many false
hoods told on that subject as in regard
to the tariff. The prejudices of the
soldier element and the friends of the
veterans of the war have been excited
against the party in power by those
misrepresentation
The latest is the story that under a
law passed a year ago certain Con-
federate officers will receive pensions,
and this is distorted to appear as an
indication that the prediction is being
fulfilled that pensions will be given to
Confederate soldiers and denied to
Union soldiers. And it is further
prognosticated that Cleveland would
sign bill for the benefit of the former
ard veto one for the relief of the latter
That kind of stuff of course suits
our Republican contemporary, which is
''not an organ but always grinds out
an echo of any Republican misrepresen-
tation that is started. 1t copies with
glee some purely speculative conjec-
lures of the Indianapolis Journal on
that subject, as though they were in
disputable facts.
The whole of the matter is that in
the revision of the pension list the
administration has endeavored to exc
cute the Law. BY careful inspection
many fraudulent cases have been dis
covered and large sums of money have
been saved to the country by that
means. No deserving legal pensioner

REpIsTRIorING THE TERRITORY.


The Herald has impressed it's readers
throughout the campaign just closed,
with the fact that the constitutional
convention was the most important of
all the issues involved in the struggle.
That was not only because of the work
to be done in the framing of the con-
stitution which is to govern the new
state, but because upon that conven-
ton will devolve the task of redistrict-
ing the territory for the state Iegis-
lature. 1t was on that account that
the Republicans so earnestly desired
to obtain control of the convention.
What can be done under Republican
auspices has been .exemplified in the
course of the Utah Commission. when
1t was Republican body with Liberal
strings attached. The shameful man
ner in which the legislative districts
were arranged, with a special view to
protecting Liberal-Republican inter
ests, is well known. What has been
may be. What has been done may be
done again. The anxiety of the Re
publican leaders was chiefly in that
direction.
Inc indications are that the majority
of either side in the convention will he
small. The ability will be largely in
1aVor OF the Democratic side. A fair
arrangement for the districting of the
territory, according to population and
contiguity, must be kept in view by
the Democratic delegates. No partisan
scheme for the advantage or detriment
OF either party should be allowed to
prevail. The rights of the people and
the convenience of the voters must be
above all fractional considerations. Wig
lance on this ground will, be expected

WESTERN INTERESTS.

1T would be narrow view of poll
ties that would take interest in only
one section Of the country or make all
other interests subservient to those of
any particular locality. Yet western
interests are those with which Utah is
particularly concerned, and chiefest
among these is that of silver What
will be its fate in the future is what
the people wish to know. By their
votes last Tuesday they decided that
the Republican party was more friend
ly to silver than the Democrats, that
is if the silver question weighed with
them at all. Their decision is made.
and now they have time to go over
the grounds on which it was based and
see if they justified it. Is there a single
thing in the record of the Republican
party that justifies the belief that it
is as friendly to silver as the Demo-
cratic party? Is there a thing to in
dictate that when the national conven-
'tions meet two years hence the Re-
publicans will do anything more for
silver than to throw it a sop of sweet
words and soft phrases? The party
record is anti-silver from first to last,
and the things of the past beget the
things of the future.
To this silver question, SO important
to the West, and to the country at
large when fully appreciated, the citi-
zens of this territory should bring their
best reasoning and their maturest
judgment. The Republicans have
promised protection to the East but
what do they promise the West?
We are interested in the welfare and
prosperity of the whole country, and
realize that when one portion suffers
all are more or less affected. This sill
reproducing part has suffered more
or less in its chief industry ever since
silver was demonetized, twenty-one
years ago. The reparation of that
wrong is what is now wanted The
East should give heed to the legiti-
mate demands of the West. There is
one way to enforce those demands; it
Is through the. ballot box. This must
be done through one or the other of
the great political parties. No political
party formed for the single purpose of
advancing the interests of silver would
have the ghost of a show of success
in gaining the control of national af-
fairs.

there wrong about that? Suppose some
