Protection Protects.

Now the Geological Survey officials
want to come in out of the threatening
cold by having the warm, shelterins
and exclusive folds of the civil service
flag wrapped about them. After all,
prohibition prohibits and protection
protects ; and the government en-
ployees engaged in the geological sur
vey know it. Their positions are no
doubt worth their effort to keep them.
if possible, against the vicissitudes of
outward rotation of office. The most
effective auxiliary for official long life
is to get in under the sheltering care
of the civil service laws as soon as
possible; for here the official is entire
ly safe no matter which party wins at
the polls. The geological surveyors
should be cared for. And it would
be much better for our Congressman
and Senators whatever might befall
their constituents if they, too, could
be taken into the classified civil ser
vice and thus through permanence of
office reap the full enjoyment of fhe
kind of protection that protects.
Then,as shining examples from within,
they could clearly demonstrate the
folly of the fathers in establishing a
rotative government in the hope Of
occasionally turning the rascals out.

Peace Now Probable.

Peace negotiations between China
and Japan are now in progress
through the agency of our ministers
abroad, Messrs.s sDun and DENLY, the
former being located in Toxic, Japan,
and the latter in Pekin, China. But it
is quite evident that there will be no
cessation of aggressive hostility on the
part Of Japan until China makes her
part of the treaty palmer and stronger
than she has thus far made it. 1t is
further evident that Japan lacks con-
fdence in either the word or oath of
the heather Chinese, and being sue
cessful in every attack, whether upon
land or water, the plucky little as
sailant will have China herself sue for
peace and that, too. at a pretty high
figure. $500, ,ooo, 900 is the cash re-
quired as indemnity, it is said, and al,
so the full REIMBURSEMENT of Chinas
control and jurisdiction over the
coveted peninsula of Corea. There
Is believed to be no other surrender
of Chinese territory mentioned as yet
In the treaty for peace.

WOMEN AND MEN.

Women always show by their ac-
tions that they enjoy going to church
men are less demonstrative. When
woman becomes flurried, she feels
for fan; when a man becomes
flurried, he feels for cigar. Women
jump at conclusions and generally
hit; men reason things out logically
and generally miss the truth. Some
women can't pass millinery shop
without looking in; some men can't
pass public house without going in.
A woman never sees baby without
wanting to run to it; a man never
sees baby without wanting to run
away from it.
Women love admiration, approba-
ton, self immolation on the part Of
others, arc often weak, vain and
frivolous ditto men. A woman al
ways carries her purse in her hand, so
that other women will see it; a man
carries his in his inside pocket, so that
his wife won't see 1t. A woman can
sit in a theatre for three hours with
out getting all cramped up, catching
the toothache or becoming faint for
want of fresh air /; man can't.
A woman, from her sex and char
acter, has claim TO many things be-
sides her shelter, food and clothing
She is not less woman for being
welded, and the man who is fit to be
trusted with a good wife recollects all
which this implies and shows himself
at all times chivalrous, sweet spoken,
considerate and deferential.-Ne,
York San.

Barbarous Cruelty.

The Chinese take no prisoners
from the battlefield but like so many
savages they torture and mutlats
them until dead. They sometimes
string them together with rope run
ming through the cheeks or gullet as a
boy would string fish. The Japanese,
on the other hand, are more merciful
to prisoners though they by no means
conduct an entirely civilized warfare.
They are also charged with Outrageous
cruelties in retaliation upon the more
barbarous Chinese. When all the
cruelties of the war now in progress
between China and Japan are truth.

no doubt the effort to christianize
them will be greatly augmented.

where. A game that neither kills,
cripples nor mains for life is no good
these days.
Since history is said to repeat itself
it is quite possible that even foot. ball
will soon be supplanted with the old
time bull fights and gladitorial cruel
ties.
Fully 10000 spectators and sport
ing people were present at the recent
football game between the Harvard
and the Pennsylvania teams. The
game was as usual frantically exciting,
and, not counting the many smaller
injuries received, five of the Harvard
team were crippled likely for life. The
game being rather running fight than
a beneficial play, of course the best
fighters make the best players. We
presume, however, that the glory is
not all with the .victors, for those who
are crippled for life in the game no
doubt enjoy their scars and crippled
condition just as our savages do who
enjoy nothing better when in Wash
ington than to display those scars to
the Great Father as evidence of the
fact that they ale "big braves" &c.
We are progressive people-in some
directions.
| ANOTHER KIND OF GAME.
The meeting and playing of the Yale
and Princeton foot ball teams on the
Ist inst, in storm over head and
snow on the ground will give some
little idea of the enthusiasm of college
pride as well as of the fidelity and
anxiety of the sporting fraternity who
will risk pneumonia rather than miss
the excitement and opportunity tc
win or lose on the game. To prevent
| their fighting the game out instead OF
playing it out, corps of police were
in attendance. This was very wise
provision in view of past fights-ol
games, if you please.
| 1t is estimated that fully 10000
Ipeople, more or less sensible, with
stood the storm and breatbed THE
murky air and either sat or stood fol
the three long hours during which the
game was in progress, in order to SEE
the battle for supremacy at foot bal
between the Yale and Princeton
students. To the presence of the
police is attributed the unwholesome
and rather debasing fact that no seri

however, the primaries should be always

The School Census Increases school
Funds $4,000 This Year.
The new census OF school children of
the city of Los Angeles was filed with
the county superintendent of schools
yesterday by City Superintendent
Brown, and will have effect in causing a
considerable increase in the money re-
ceived by the city for school purposes at
the new apportionment this year. Last
year the city received about $11 per
pupil from the state and county funds.
and il the same rate is made this year
there will be an increased allowance OF
$l8, 1874. There are 1864 new school
children for this year "a compared with
1888, certainly very large increase for
enc year.
