Shocking Abuse of the !t"in"n

LoSpoS, Aug. 1.-The Telegraph
tomorrow will print a dispatch from
Shanghai stating that the massacre
at K1cheng occurred on July 81. The
officials suppressed the news Tor three

Miss Elsie Marsgall. Miss Annie Cor
don, Miss Bessie Newcomb and Miss
Flora Stewart. all Of the English Ze.
mana mission; Miss Nellie Saunders.
Miss Topsy Saunders. Rev. DR.. Stew

Mrs Stewards children were killed
and two survive One had one knee
broken. and the other, a baby. lost an

ty.
United States Consul Hixson, who is
stationed at Foo Chow, with party
of volunteers. upon receipt of the news
of the massacre, started on a steam
launch for the scene, and has rsturned
bringing with him the wounded Amer
leans. The experiences of the survl-
yors were terrible. They say that
death was the least part of the suffer
ings of the butchered women.
The Indignation here is intense.
Nevertheless, the many war ships III
the harbor are idle. y mass meeting
has been arranged for tomorrow to
protest against the lack of energy on
the part of the authorities and to urge
that reparation be made, and that the
guilty persons be punished. The
mandarins endeavor to blame certain
secret societies for the outrage. Eu-
ropeans, however, regard this as non
sense
The officials are renewing their old
tactics of stopping kilograms. The re-
ports of the outrage are rather mixed.
The latest says It's now known that
ten persons were killed, including
Miss Lena Stewart and DR.. Stewart s
whole family except 1.-TWO. The Amerl.
can missionaries, Miss Hartford and
DR.. Gregory, escaped, but the former
was fearfully injured Several Eng
lish and American children were
killed.
The Standard tomorrow will demand
that the murderers be visited with con
dign punishment and that a stern ex-
ample be made of the officials who vlr-
tually connived at the commission o.!
the crime The paper will say:
If the Emperor cannot or Will not
protect British residents, we must give
him assistance of a kind he will not
welcome. :
The Chronicle will say it trusts that
Great Britain and the United States
will combine to teach the Chinese a
lesson that will cause foreigners to be
respected forever, but in view OF the
conditions existing in the country, the
bodies sending missionaries there, and
especially women, incur the gravest
responsibility. The whole question,
the Chronicle adds, ought to be recon
sidered.
The Times will say The outrage
must, of course, from the subject OF
strong representation to China from
England and probably from the Unit,
ed Safes also. It must not be passed
over as atrine. Immunity of the mur,
derers would cause standing menace
to the lives and property OF the who e
European community in China.

lock? It might not be impracticable to
have a second Electrical Carnival. If not
that, then a rose festival. Sacramento
had nearly eleven years ago the finest
floral show ever given anywhere, and we
except none. This year she had the
greatest and most novel electrical festival,
and she could give another at less ex-
pense next spring. and with greater sue
cess. About all who attended would
come again; those who did not attend
have been berating themselves ever since
that they remained away. Sacramento
can discount anything her sisters may at
tempt now. She has found out what her
capacity is, and how we'll it pays to be
energetic Los Angeles is already ar
ranging for her Fiesta, a season of mirth
and jollity, and Santa Rosa is moving for
a Rose Carnival. If we have anything of
a festival character here, by all means let
it be rational. and not after the order OF
mere jollIty. The more it is thought OF,
the more feasible it seems for the pioneer
California Electrical City to give another
electrical display. 1t would pay.

TO TIE VOTERS OF THE SIXTH
WARD.

Voters in the Sixth Ward have
duty to perform, for the neglect Of
which there can be no adequate apollo
gy. That duty is to defeat Devine, the
incumbent Trustee. His integrity is
not questioned, nor his sincerity; but
the man is all wrong on issues that
much concern this people, namely, the
need to abandon use of the filthy water
Of the river for domestic purposes, and
the adoption Of the serial bond system
for street Improvement.
Devine is so case hardened in preju-
dice concerning the installment plan Of
paying for street work, and concerning
clear water supply that he has proved
a positive stumbling block during his
term of office. Wordy. persistent and
prejudiced, the man appears to be invul-
nerable to reason on these subjects.
The people of the Sixth Ward should
rebuke this obstructionist by electing
William Lowell, the Republican nomi-
nee. He is a Sacramento man from
birth, is young, vigorous, and honor
ably ambitious. He has served eight
years upon the police force with credit
to the city and honor to himself; he is
clear-headed and intelligent on city
needs and the methods that should be
employed to advance the common inter
est. There has been something of an
effort to cry down Lowell, because he
is best known as police officer.
But if that is disqualification we
have yet to learn why. Lowell is not
charged with having been weak Off
cial. He was vigilant, duty-doing
courageous and intelligent. He is a
better informed man than Devine far
and away, and is not the slave of pref
street installment payment plan; he has
advanced ideas concerning an efficient
police force, and his long service on
the force will peculiarly fit him in the
Board Of Trustees to give especial at
tention to the betterment of that
branch of the public service Indeed,
1t is peculiarly fortunate that we are
likely to have upon the Board Of Trus-
tees one man who by experience knows
what police force ought to be, what
police duty is, and how the criminal
element should be dealt with.
we apprehend that with Mr. Lowell
In the board there will be enforcement
of the police regulations. We will
benefit in many ways by having an ex-
Perienced officer like Mr. Lowell upon
the board, and by having such a radical
and impracticable as Mr. Devine rele-
gated to the walks of private life.

NOTE AND COMMENT.

The Grass Valley Union has entered
upon its thirty-second year and it's pro-
prietor, w. f. Prisk, points with pride to
its history. The Union has never en-
deavored to achieve notoriety by sensa-
tional methods and has always been con-
Quoted as a clean family newspaper. 1t
has been very successful since Mr.. Prisk
took charge of it in 1893.
J. w. Wilson never sat on the fence
and watched the procession Of progress
go by. He was always in it,
Eastern papers are discussing the ques-
ton whether pugilism is brutal. Judged
by the jawbone work of Corbett and
Fitzsimmons, an answer in the negative
may be confidently given.
The journalistic opponent of ]. W.
Wilson would have the people believe
that the convention that could make such
strong nominations as the opposition adj
mits are those OF Young, Brown, Porter
Robertaon, DiIlman. Dolan. Driver, Sher-
, burn. Melvin, and SO on, was corrupt.
What q silly arraignment of the intelli-
gence Of sensible voters.
If Japan and Russia fail to agree upon
the partition Of Corea and japanese re-
sistance follows il will be interesting to
think what may be the result of war,
with China as the ally of Russia and Chi
uese armies Differed by Russians. 1t
might not take many months for Russian
military men TO put an enormous Chi
nese force into pretty good fighting trim.
The chief difficulty they would expert
euce would be in overcoming the repug-
nance of the Chinaman to discipline. But
we'll disciplined he will fight, and posi-
bly Japan may find this TO be true, to her
sorrow.
A railway train last week ran from
Chicago to New York at the average
speed OF $50 miles an hour. The stop
pages were few and exceedingly brief.
This is the swiitest long distance run on
record But, after all, is it of value?
What people want is not excessive speed
in travel, but good speed with great Sc
curity.
Not all the virtues. nor all the honors,
nor all the performance is claimed for J.
w. Wilson, for be is human and fallable.
But the Republican party claims for him
that he Will make model Mayor,
faithful, upright, progressive, diligent
officer, and that the men who can do
as we'll as he in the office are not nomi-
mated.
Asthe National Republican Convention
will be held about June 10th next year.
in view of the possibility of its sitting IN
san Francisco the San Jose people are
talking of great Floral Carnival at that
time, and of inviting all the delegates and
visitors to attend it. Well, as for that,
what is the matter with Sacramento hav-
ing some sort of festival early next
wear, taking time now by long fore

if the demands of that platform are
realized and the earning capacity of the
railroads of California is reduced one
fourth, as the platform demands, the
reads must be run at one fourth less
cost. Such reduction of cost must come
in the line of the elastic expenses of
maintenance and operation. The only
really elastic factor in railroading in
California that amounts to much is the
payroll. That represents 60 per cent.
of the whole cost, and it would there
fore feel the burden, if not all of the re-
duction. Yet wage-earners are asked
to vote for declaration drawn by a
young lawyer and showed upon a con-
yention in it's dying moments, that
means, if it has any meaning at all,
a cut in wages if its demands are COM
piled with.

If anyone is known to be preparing to

If anyone is known to be preparing to
import cargo of hired voters to this city
to take part in the election, as is charged,
it would be very interesting to know in
whose interest such importation is to be
made, who is to foot the bill, who is able
To do it and how and where the men are
to be voted. OF one thing the people
may rest assured, that the Republican
candidates, nor any one Of them, are en-
gagged in any attempts to stock the
register. Who is there that believes for
one moment that City Attorney Brown,
Captain J. D. Young, the coming Mayor,
J. w. Wilson; II. G. Melvin, or any
other of the Republican nominees, would
engage in any such nefarious business
Who then is to profit by the alleged i'm
portation? Who is putting up the coin,
and why? The whole thing smells like
fraud and purposely manufactured
scare.

One Of the agitator strike fraternity
has got into print in a San Francisco
paper with a hoarse growl because 1t is
proposed in that place to carry United
States mails on street car lines. that
there may be more rapidity in the deliv-
cry of mail matter from sub-stations of
the Postoffice. This arrangement would
greatly accommodate all the people.
since the more speedy the delivery Of
letters after receipt Of mails, the better
for all who use the postal service. But
here comes this loud-mouthed agitator
and weeps and means in print because
as he puts it, THE boys know that this
will put the street railroads under the
Federal protection, and a strike or tie
up will become impossible. The boys un-
derstand this" The comfort of this is
that there is realization of the power
and righteousness of the Government of
the United States. But why any man
should bemoan the fact passes compre-
hension. Isiit then so grievous a thing to
live under a government of the people
that has the capacity to protect the
people in their human and political
rights?
