the effort to raise the amount OF money

ton should certainly be offered. 1t will
not do TO let the project 90 by default
AS our correspondent says, such failure
would make San Francisco the laughing
stock of all business communities through
out this country. With men going about
the city with S250,O00 in their pockets
looking for good investments. it would be
strange if $780, 900 could not be raised to
construct a railroad into the heart of a
valley that will support population as
large as that of New York. A popular
subscription should not mean that the
money subscribed should be in the nature
of gift. If a man can put but $40 into
the enterprise he should be given the
same security for his money as if ne could
subscribe for $4,000 worth Of stock. The
point to be observed is that most men who
can put SO into the enterprise will do so,
while the men who can subscribe for
$4,000 of the stock are generally short Of
ready money. AT least they say they are.

POLITICAL DESPERADOES.

People who have lived in California
thirty years and more will recall the fact
that il was the killing Of one man that
caused the organization of the Vigilance
Committee in 1856. A gang Of desperadoes
and ballOt-box suffers had committed
crime after crime with impunity. but in
the end they committed one crime too
many. Some Of the criminals were hanged (;
others fed to parts unknown. When peo-
pie had partially forgotten the nature of
their crimes against society they came
back and generally kept quiet thereafter.
News comes from Chicago that a man
has been killed in the performance of his
duty as guardian of the ballot-boxes. II
appears that gang of des peradoes known
IN Chicago as the "Market-street gang
had determined TO seize the ballot-boxes of
several precincts by force and to kill the
judges and clerks if necessary. Our bosses
and their strikers are not supposed to
have conspired 10 take life, but in other
respects they compare closely enough to the
Chicago Market-street gang, at least they
lIave conspired 10 stuff the register and the
ballot box, which though not capital is
penitentiary offense and will be punished
accordingly if the crime can be brought
home to the perpetrators

HARD TIMES DID 1T.

The acknowledgement report to the War
Department for the fiscal year ending last
June shows that about two-thirds Of all
men enlisted that year were of American
birth. The number of assertions was
much smaller than in preceding years. L
is also stated that two-thirds of the en-
listed men whose term of enlistment is
nearing its end have declared their inten-
ton to enlist for another term. These re-
suits have probably been brought about
by hard times. In the year ending last
June larger proportion Of Americans
have found themselves unable to find en-
ployment in the ordinary pursuits of life.
But the fact that larger proportion of
enlisted men are of American birth should
lead to changes which would make mill
tary service more tolerable for Americans.
It is not the low wages that have pre-
vented Americans from eDlistiDg and have
driven enlisted men to desert so much as
the petty tyranny to which enlisted men are
subjected. Americans in civil life have
not had the training which prepares them
for the military duties which, in many
cases, are imposed upon enlisted men 10

The intelligence that President Cieve-
land and Secretary Carlisle have deter

surprise. 1t was intimated weeks ago that
after The election a new loan would be
offered to Wall street. The fact that Mr..
Carlisle does not admit that new loan is
contemplated is by no means conclusive
that the issue has not been resolved upon.
II may be that Mr.. Cleveland has not yet

LAFCADlO hEARN'S JAPAN.

Readers will be glad TO learn that Laf-
cadio Hearn's long expected book on Japan
is published at last. Having written the
most sympathetically picturesque book in
existence on the French West Indies, MIR.
Hearn subsequently accepted post in a
japanese school. He announced about a
year since that he would give To the world
the fruit of his observations In book fern.
TIE work is particularly timely just now,
since the Japanese-Chinese war has at
tracted attention to that quarter Of the
globe.
Nothing strikes the foreign traveller in
the interior of Japan so much as the singu-
lar gentleness of popular scrutiny. Every
body looks curiouSly at the stranger, but
the look is accompanied by a smile and
never with anything disagreeable or hos
tile. Everybody seems to wish the stranger
we'll, and to be willing to prefer any de-
sired assistance. In his poetic fancy Mr..
Hearn connects the gentleness of JAP
anese manners with the singular beauty of
the country. Japan is dream Of beautiful
art. Their village streets derive pictuT-
sequences from the prOfusiOn of Chinese
and Japanese characters in blue and gold
and white, decorating everything TO the
doorpostS and paper screens which take
the place Of walls. From the shape of the
houses to the costumes of the people,
everything is artistic, pleasing to the eye
and soothing to the mind. In the country
every tree is picture. A plum or a cherry
tree in blossom is fimy mist of petals so
beautiful that one can understand the
superstition that trees have souls.
Mr.. Hearn devotes considerable space to
a description Of Shiatoism, the ancient
religion of Japan. Aith ough large pro-
portion of the japanese profess to be
Buddhists the bulk of the rural popula-
ton, as well as the Emperor and his fam
iiy. are faithful TO the old creed with all
its curious superstltions. ShintoiSm is a
religion of the heart. It breaches charac-
ter in the highest degree. courage, cOur-
tesy, honor, loyalty, filial piety, duty and
an obligation to surrender life for pTinci-
pies sake. It is a poetic belief, whose
fruits are seen in the docility of the Jap
ane5e child,-t the sweetness of the JaI an
csc women and the heroism which i'm bues
Japanese with the faith that the no blest Z
all destinies is TO die for the Emperor or
honor.
Mr.. Hearn's book was written before
the war with China broke out and he has
nothing to say on the subject. But the
picture he paints of the Japanese charac-
ter goes far to explain the unbroBen series
of victories won by the japanese since the
invasion OF Korea. Men OF fixed princi-
Piles make invincible soldiers. The artistic
temperament which is characteristic OF
the people at large is commonly accom-
panied by high spirit People in this me-
ridian have been utterly unable TO account
for the steady recurrence of Chinese de-
feats, ana for the curious circumstance
that in their bulletins of the war the Chi
nese never claim 10 have taken any Japan
ese prisoners. Perhaps the light which
Mr.. Hearn throws on the Japan csc spirit
may explain the anomaly.

AROUND the CORRIDORS.

DR.. John I. Mclean Of Alameda was In the

gentlemen regarding the result of the election,
when the conversation dgifted back upon early
political experiences in this State. and the doc

call for Republican convention ever held in
this State. 1t was IN April, 1855, and ] at that

spondence between a number OF us who were
interested In the welfare of the State led to a
meeting in Sacramento at the time mentioned

elapsed that have forgotten his name. AT the
preliminary meeting, after exchanging our re-
spective views upon the situation aud generally
canvassing the outlook, we agreed TO adjourn
for lunch, and In the intervening time, Ii
was also agreed, each one OF US was to draft a
call for the proposed convention. AS is usual
In such cases when we met at the appointed
time 1t was found that number OF those in at

al DON'T REMEMBER"

When a man takes an oath to tell the
truth, the whole truth and nothing but the
truth and then declares on the witness
stand that he does not remember things
that he does remember he commits per-
jury. The same man would probably be-
come fighting mad if his word on an ordi-
nary matter should be questioned. a good
many of these perjurers seem to think
that it is smart to battle the lawyer who
tries to get information out Of them. If
the court takes a hand at questioning and
If they can battle that functiOnary they
boast of their exploit. They laugh over
toeir own lapse of memory. These per-
iurers do not seem to think of the irrepar-
able injury they are doing themselves. A
man who has suffered under one of these
lapses Of memory never RECEIVERS his place
in the estimation of society. Even those
who jest with him over his temporary To-
trinity charge their own memory with
the fact that he is not TO be trusted. The
rule Of law which rejects testimony a part
of which is shown to be false is applied TO
the Teriurer. He may not always perjure
himself when he goes upon the witness
stand. but ne will always be suspected.
1t is difficult to convict witness Of per-
jury who simply says he does not remem-
Der. The mental condition which accom-
panies collapse of memory, while retain
ing other faculties in ordinary force, is
not known TO experts as mental iniFmi-
ties. The expert thinks the witness did
remember when he said he did not, but.
of course. cannot swear point blank that
he did. The jury gives the witness the
benefit Of the doubt. Such Witnesses,
however, are marked for distrust to
nearly the same extent as if they had
been sentenced to a term in the peniten-
tiary.
In the last week Judge Wallace has had
considerable experience with sumo of this
class of perjurers. But the Judge has not
been imposed upon by the stereotyped
answer, 81 don't remember" 1t is quite
within the range of possibility that in
some cases the lapse of memory may
prove a serious matter to the witnesses.
II the old adage is true that liars should
have good memories, how much more i'm
pOrtant it is that false swearers should
have good memories. And yet it may be
found impossible 10 reconcile statements
made al different times with the pretended
lapse of memory.
