FAILURE AFTER ALL.

A raft of logs on Puget Sound has made
and now lies anchored in that harbor.
Notwithstanding this, it is obvious that
the rafting Of logs from Puget Sound is
failure. Two former attempts failed,
and the logs were sent afloat on the ocean,
a menace to life and property. There is
every reasonable probability that four
out of five of these attempts would fail.
If the labor expended in cutting and
placing in the water four logs is to be
lost in order to get one log to San Fran
cisco, there is not much to be hoped for
from the enterprise.
Much apprehension is felt in the lumber
manufacturing centers throughout the
State as to the success of this experiment.
If logs may be successfully rated. then
the entire seat of the manufacture of
lumber would be on Puget Sound. Logs
would be brought by ocean to the Bay of
San Francisco, and there manufactured
into lumber and distributed throughout
the country. Lumber is very import
ant industry to many interior places.
We should very much regret to see it
transferred from the interior Of the State
of California to Puget Sound.
We think. however, there is no reason
to apprehend this transfer. The success
of this single raft is not to be received as
an indication that the problem of rafting
logs by ocean is solved. 1t was attempted
on the Atlantic Coast, and apparent sue
cess occasionally attended the undertake
ing. 1t has of late, however, been aband-
oned entirely. We understand that the
attempt to bring logs by ocean is a Cali
fornia enterprise. Just why California
capital should be engaged in destroying
valuable enterprises in the interior is not
very clearly understood.

THE CHINESE OUTRAGEs.

The news from China concerning the
recent massacre is not conflicting, for
each fresh story corroborates the former
and enlarges upon it. From many &C.
counts we draw the conclusion that in
two provinces, or subdivisions, luminosity
against foreigners has been steadily grow
ing for some months. and has been fos-
tered by the Mandarin class, which in
these sections appear to be notably cruel
and bloody.
a religious sect, the Vegetarians, has
seized upon the growth of dislike for for
eigners, and has pushed itself to the front
upon the strength of public feeling, which
finally eliminated in rebellion against
Chinese authority, in which revolt many
Mandarins have taken part. AS soon as
the mob tasted power and blood it fell
upon the missionaries at several points
aud, destroying their houses and prop
erty, speared the women and children as
they lay in their beds, and scattered the
men. such as they did not succeed in
numbering.
The attacks appear to have been we'll
planned, and to have been carried out
with diabolioal generalization and cool
ness. The latest reports are to the effect
that the lives of all foreigners, no matter
what their position or calling. are in peril.
as the rebels command Foo Chow in the
Fekhein province, and are especially
savage at Kucheng near Foo Chow, Chen
Tu, Yum Fuh and other towns and sec
tons.
Americans having suffered along with
English and others, our Government
will be called upon to look into the ques-
ton at once of demanding from China in
demnity for the families of such of our
people as have been killed, and damages
also for those injured and who have lost
their property. But this is small consola-
ton. 1t does not restore the dead to life,
nor does indemnity accord any guarantee,
| if paid, against future outrages, for the
| collection of the money from the actual
| offenders would not be possible, and
would but serve TO embitter the mass Of
| the Chinese against foreigners generally,
SO that the next massacre will be the
more terrible.
In fact, the conditions of government in
China are so peculiar, scarcely under
standable by US, that we cannot get any
comfort out of anything that we may do
| in the premises, except this. discour-
age our people from going into that
country. We will, in short, for their
own sake be driven to saying TO our
people. IF you go to reside in the land
of the heathen-aud the Chinese are moth
/ ing more-you must do so at your own
risk. While the Government will do its
utmost to protect you. and will never
disavow its duty in that respect, it will
not encourage you in what has thus far
really been vain attempt to Christian

TO-NIGHT'S MEETING.

To-night's meeting will practically de-
of Commerce in Sacramento or not. The
subcommittee have labored long and
hard. and are prepared TO report plan at
once feasible and full of high promise for
Sacramento.
But the committees have resolved, and
so advise, that unless there are seventy
five persons present tonight there shall
be no action taken, at least at present,
and that until three hundred mem bers
are secured no election should be held.
This is wise. If we cannot find three
hundred citizens who are willing to unite
in this laudable effort, then it will be best
to drop it.
Now. since there are 80 many people
more necessary that those at home should
turn out at to-nights meeting. The call
is not to the merchant, the trader and the
professional men alone, but to any citizen
having the interests of the city at heart.
and who feels that his mite of coin and
effort in this investment will be to his
eventual great gain and happiness.
There should be present to- might gen
eral business men, landlords, tenants,
capitalists, manufacturers, mechanics.
tradesmen, jobbers, physicians. lawyers,
publishers. printers, real estate dealers
indeed, any and all citizens who have
faith in the town, know its needs and
favor an organization of the broad-gauge
order to foster and forward them.

or the Nation. If 100000 of public
money is used in the creation of water
power worth million of dollars, who
| ought to own that power? The fellow
who walked up and said, Il will take it,"
or the people from whose pockets the
money for the construction OF the dam is
to be distracted.
Here is a new illustration of the bad
morals of hydraulic mining. Its advo-
Gates have neither the sense of justice
nor the wisdom to appreciate the raw,
garish stupidity which this whole scheme
discloses. The most incomprehensible
! feature of this marvellous transaction is
the confession of the parties in interest.
If the enemies of the construction of re-
straining works had been seeking any
| weaponry of humiliation they could not
have had better one made to hand. The
prosecution of a private enterprise for
ain streams of California with de-
tritus. Those who have been the
benefciaries of that private profit
turn and say, NOW take care of
our debris or it will ruin your rivers"
AS members of the Legislature they Sc
cure the passage of bill appropriating
S250,000 for the purpose of protecting
their neighbors from their own wrongful
acts; and then they get upon the highest
housetop and loudly proclaim that they
have appropriated water power which
viii be developed by the expenditure Of
them millions OF dollars.
The full meaning of Judge Ross de-
cision concerning the Wright Law. may
have appropriate reference here. Judge
| Ross declared that the reclamation ola par
tioular district of country from aridity to
fertility was private and not public use.
By the same parity of reasoning the pro-
lection Of the city of Sacramento, the city
of Marysville and the lands of the Sacra-
mento Valley is a private use; and hence
an appropriation made from the treas
ury for such protection is unconstitu-
| tional. What interest have the people
south of Tehachapi or in the San Joaquin
| Valley or in the coast counties or in the
| territory lying north of the Feather River
in the preservation of a farm in Suffer,
| Yuba, Sacramento, Yolo or Solano Coun-
ties? Why should the money of a man
/ in San Diego be used to take care of a
farm in Yuba County? What interest
! have the people of Maine or Florida in
the prosecution of mining for private
profit in Nevada County? The plea that
to take out gold is public use is stupid
almost to idiocy. In larger and better
sense the raising of wheat is public use.
| Gold mining is pursued for private profit,
and that profit affords perfect guarantee
that it will be pursued. All forms of
pleas which are used as a basis for an
argument in favor of spending money in
the interest of gold mining have been
| false and misleading.
| Judge Ross irrigation decision grows
and broadens by contemplation. 1t has
left no legal ground upon which the ex-
! penditure of public money for the pro-
motion of hydraulic mining can stand.
| The irridescent dream of 70,000-horse-
/ ! l. !
viduals, all of them residing in the n.y.
draulic mining region, is fading away.
| The bold impotence of the scheme may
challenge admiration. The stupidity
which would publicly confess its true in
| wardness will awaken contempt.

Conference of Miners and Operators OF
and the Strike Ordered.
PTTsBURG, March 7.-All negotia-
tions between miners and operators of
the Pittsburg district have been de-
clared off, and strike involving from
$4,000 to 1900 men has been ordered.
The conference committee Of the min
ers and owners failing to agree on the
69c rate for mining demanded by the
former, the operators proposed joint
convention Of miners and operators to
be held in this city on Saturday. This
proposition was reported to the miners
convention when it reassembled and
Was Promptly Rejected.
A vote was then taken, and the strike
was ordered to take effect Immediately.
The delegates will return to their homes
and meetings will be called at every pit,
when the strike will be announced and
plans for it's prosecution will be formu-
lated. The miners are hopeful of win
ming the strike for two principal reasons
The first is that lake shipments Of coal
are about to begin, and that the
demand for fuel will force the oper-
ators to pay the 69-cent rate. The
other reason is that never before have
the miners Of this district been SO thor
oughly organized as now, despite the
hard winter Of poverty and suffering
through which they have passed. The
strike, to insure them victory, must
necessarily he a short one, as the treas
