A MEAN ABUSE OF POWER.

Secretary Carlisle has made bad use Of his
power in the detention Of Mr.. Morton's coach
man after Judge Lacombe's decision that the
Englishman was not prohibited by the anti
alien contract labor law from entering this
country.
If the Secretary thought to win applause
from American workingmen by his petty
tyranny he has shot wide Of the mark. Intel
ligent workingmen cannot be caught by such
picayunish political claptrap. They are in
favor Of a rigid enforcement of the law. OF
course, but they do not favor an interpreta-
lion Of the statute not warranted by its letter
or its spirit, nor do they demand mean perse-
cution Of an unofTending person.
Mr.. Carlisle would do well to reverse his
position in the Howard case. he has been
wrong and unjust from the beginning.

san ENDING nF A SAD LIFE.

With relentless grasp death has fastened IFS
clutches upon the ruler of the Russian en-
pire. Though bulletins may announce tenn
porary rallies, the end is no less certain to
come soon. 1t is probably only question of
weeks, perhaps days even.
How pitiful the life and passing away Of
this most powerful autocrat. Brought TO the
throne through the horrible assassination of
his father; threatened and dogged by the
same pitiless band that encompassed his ia
theirs death: in constant fear of the same yio-
lent taking off; happy and easy of mind only
when beyond the boundaries of his realm, his
closing days prove fitting climax to the
drama of his life. Fettered to a bed Of pain;
prey to a disease that is said TO have been the
direct result Of injuries received in railway
disaster traceable to nihilists; his son also dy-
ing; his wife stricken with apoplexy from
exhaustion incurred by attending his bedside;
a daughter Frustrated from the same cause
thus terminates one OF the saddest careers of
our DAYS.
No more tragic story than this burdens the
pages Of history. 1t is especially SO in view
Of the fact that by unbiased observers Alex
ander III is credited with the best intentions
regarding the internal policies OF his empire
and the peace Of Europe. To him, it is said,
is due in no small degree the conservation Of
that peace, and he is reported to have i'm
pressed upon his successor the necessity and
wisdom Of persevering in the same path.
He has been much misunderstood, perhaps
much misrepresented, but whatever have been
his errors and shortcomings they are forgot
ten in this hour Of his suffering. and the SYM
pathy Of all men goes out to him.

rEE DocKFRr COMMISSIONS woRx

Pryinr expertv Of the Dockery commission
have now invaded the Interior Department
with a view OF ascertaining whether tha' i'm
rortant branch OF the governments services
may not be crippled after the manner OF the
commissions Gripping of the Treasury De-
pRrtment.
It's TO be hoped that Congress viii end the
existence Of this obnoxious commission at the
coming session. II the Interior Department
or any other department OF the government is
in need Of reform let reform proceed from
Congress directly or from the heads Of the de-
partments themselves. There is no place in
the plan Of executive government for the
operation OF an external supervisory board
such rs the Dockery commission.
Congress has ample means for ascertaining
what changes in departmental methods are
needful for the proper transaction Of public
business. Heads Of departments are ever
ready to furnish information and make recon-
mendations. and being held responsible to
Congress are directly interested in the econom-
ical and efficient operation Of their respective
departments.
OF what use, then, is the inquisitive Dock
cry commission? What has it done for the
Treasury Department beyond making false
show Of economy by securing the discharge
of needed employees? Does it expect to accom-
plish anything else in the Interior Depart
ment?
1t is time 10 abolish the Dockery commits
sion and to commit the work Of reform, if any
is required, TO responsible public servants.

ONLY TELEGRAPHER's JOKE.

just now, when the public mind is ex-
ceedingly sensitive on the subject of mob
violence, anything like a practical joke in
that direction is not only in very bad taste,
but amounts to a positive wrong.
Late Sunday night the report was flashed
over the wires that five men had been lynched
near Orangeburg. S. C. Naturally the news
caused a profound sensation. Now comes the
statement that no such event took place, and
than the circulation of the report was "a
telegrapher's joke"
whether this particular telegrapher, who,
by some unhappy chance, has escaped the
fooi killer, can be dealt with by any process
OF law, is doubtful But nothing is more GER
tain than that in some very emphatic manner
it ought to be brought home to hin. that his
performance was anything BIZ joke. On
the contrary, il was gross outrage.
For the :ime being this person managed to
fasten a stigma upon the good name of the
people of South Carolina He placed them
before the world in the light of violators o.
human and divine law, of men who saw fit,
without compunction, to set aside fair deal
ing, justice. humanity; of men who did not
hesitate TO take the law into their own hands
and substitute for its orderly and weIl-regu-
lated processes the irresponsible action of a
half-crazed mob That was not joke, but
an injury; not Jest. but an insult
A telegraph operator occupies a position Of
no little trust and responsibility. Discretion,
prudence, a serious appreciation of the duties
with which he is charged, ought to govern
him. Trihing with the public in such man,
ner as was done by this callow youth is mex
cusable; it is little short Of criminal

ANOTHER REVOLT.
Republicans of the Forty.fifth De-
uouuce the Boss.


The Republicans of the Forty filth As
seWbly District have at last bolted the
Burns ticket. They have been discon-
tented ever since the boss issued his orders
at the convention and turned out slate
which did gross in Djustice TO the residents
of this district The discomfort in fact
ante-dated the convention and really
began at The Republican primary, when
Joe King, the candidate for Supervisor
from the First Ward, elected seven dele
gates from his own hotel, some of whom
were not entitled to vote in the district.
The convention not only nominated
King for Supervisor. but it actually named
James Dewitt, proprietor of the Extenuate
dive on lower kearnY street, Tor AS

In large numbers at 11lO battery street
and resolved 10 support an dependent
candidate for the Assembly in the person
of Eugene ' aientr, native son of the

setting forth the sense of the Republican
voters of the district was adopted:

SUFFERS TO BE JUGGED.
Registrar Evans Is Likely to Be
Completely Baked.

The bold attempt that has been made to
stuff the registration rolls has started the
most vigorous protest against election
frauds that has yet been made in this
city. The effort of Registrar Evans to
prevent an effective canvass of the dis
tricts win prove fiat failure. From the
1893 precincts he succeeded in calling in
only 10 of the black books containing
the names of the persons registered. The
Democratic County Committee held out
all the others. though it had hard work to
do it. Evans openly threatened the pre-
cinct officers that he would see that they
should not get their money for their
services for six months II they did not
turn the books in Saturday night. He
would, he said, refuse to o. K. the war
rants. so that they could not be negotiated.
If, on the other hand. the men would sur
render tho books at once he would sign
the warrants and they could get the
money spot cash from his private broker.

II was strong temptation to some OF the
registration officers, but ID. 0. Troy stood
in the Registration Office Saturday night
aud told the men that the law provided
that they should hold the books three day S
at least, so that canvass might be made.
He urged them not to give up the lists.
and Dy so doing so enraged Evans that he
ordered two of his brother-in-law's police
men to throw Troy out of the Office. But
the determined Democrat insisted that as
citizen he had right TO stay, and he did.

GULF ROAD BONDS.
Evans Takes the Ground That They
Were Issued by Fraud.

DENVER, Oct. pa t5rneys for ex-
Governor Evans are preparing papers in a
suit which is intended to head off the al
legged attempt of the Union Pacific to re-
gain control of the Gulf road by foreclosure
of the mortgage bonds, interest on which
has been defaulted. The United States
court some time ago decided that the
Union Pacific was not required to pay this
interest, anG as the receiver of the Gulf
was not ordered TO pay it it has remained
unpaid. Governor Evans takes the ground
that the bonds were fraudulently trans
ferred and that no consideration was ever
given for them. The point will be that
the receiver for the Gulf is not required to
meet the interest OF the bonds. Should
the case be decided in favor of Governor
Evans il would have tile effect OF destroy
ing the grounds on which the American
Trust Company, as trustee for the bond
holders, expects to base it's suit for fore
closure.

ALMOST A RIOT.
Bad Split in the Panhandle Club IN
the Thirty-Eighth.

the Thirty-Eighth.
Indignant Independent voters and some
regular publicans all belonging 10 the
Panhandle Political and Social Club, got
into trouble at the regular meeting OF the
organization last night, and for time IL
looked as if some political blood would be-
smear the boards. There is an element In
he Thirty-eighth District which does not
bow to Boss Barns, and good deal of dis
cussion has been INDUCED in as to whether
the men who are willing to support the
slate or those who resent the arrogance OF
the self-constitutsd autocrat OF San Fran
cisco politics shall have control OF the L an-
handle Club The meeting last night at
Fulton and Broderick streets was we'll at
tended.
Mr.. Purcell, the secretary, started the
cOmmotiOp by moving to indorse the cap
tain for AssemblymaD, and. alter tue mo
tion had been duly seconded by u. d.
Brigaerts, the friends OF Martin Lewis,
the regular nominee, set up hOwi anu
| insisted that the entire regular ticket De
indOrsed no matter who was on 1t. An
attempt was made to debate the matter,
but the confusion was so great that little
was accomplished in that line The lnde-
| pendents succeeded in having the question
! Pot as to Blumen berg, and they assert that
a rollcall showed that the motion was car
! ried by a vote of 60 TO 22.
When this announcement was made the
Burns crowd in deep disgust withdrew
from the hall and went t. another meet
| ing place, where the devoted little band
| ndorsed the regular ticket. The inde-
pendents remained in possession Of the
field. and indorsed John ID. Siebe for
Assessor and j. w. Spencer for School
! Director. The district is hopelessly d.
vided. the Indignation against Burns being
deep-rooted and the Non-Pariisan element
has a good chance for victory.
