CORRECT LEGISLATIVE REPORTS.

For all the years of its existence the
RECORD UNION has enjoyed the enviable
reputation of giving impartial, clear and
readable legislative reports. What it has
done in the past it will do this winter,
namely, present its readers with succinct
reports of the proceedings of the two
houses of the Legislature, without mass
of verbiage and irrelevant and trifing
matter; indulging in no supposed witt
cisms or any immaterial and redundant
expressions.
In short, our legislative report will be,
as heretofore, reliable, compact and pre-
sent all that is necessary to give our
readers accurate information of the pro-
ceedings and accomplishments OF the two
houses of the Legislature.
1t is the custom of very many journals,
unhappily for the public and the Legis-
Iature, to make their reports running
comments and reportorial criticisms Of
members and their measures. Very
often, as is notorious, these comments
amount to assaults upon motives and at
tacks both unwarranted and indecent.
Very often the substance of truth is sac.
rificed for the opportunity to be witty, to
round a period or to do bit of fine writ
Ing. Very often the reports, notably in
the San Francisco press, are warped.
twisted and made to serve purposes other
than the truth.
The RECORD UNION is not boasting of
superior virtue; it is stating simple
facts, capable of verihcation at any
moment on examination of past records.
But what we do take pride in is the pur-
pose OF this journal, in accordance with
It's custom, to make it's reports fair re-
Elections of legislative activity. 1t is not
necessary, in order to do so, to overload
the columns, nor to report verbatim all
that is said in the houses, nor to weary
the reader with mass of words relating
to irrelevant matter. We shall reserve
our comments in the main for our edi-
torial columns, and our reporters will be

with only the exercise of discretionary
judgment as to what is important, what
relevant and what essential to be given
with greater or less fullness.
In this manner the RECORD UNIONS
reports will be made readable, concise. true
and impartial. To all who wish reliable
reports of the legislative proceedings,
therefore, we commend our own col
umns. These reports will all be trans
ferred into the columns of the WEEKLY
UNION, which is sent from press every
Friday morning, and will be found the
best, most reliable and all around valu-
able weekly newspaper for the home,
the mart. the shop, or the Office, that is
published on the coast.

THE WAR TO GO ON,

Yesterdays dispatches say with a sigh
that Japan is manifesting a thirst for
conquest. and is therefore resolved upon
occupying the capital of the Chinese EN-
pire; that Japan has refused an armis-
tice, and that the Chinese envoy has
taken leave of the Mikado. We can be-
lieve this with some modification. Japan
well knows, as do all other people who
are well informed, that millions of the
Chinese will never believe that their
Government has been defeated, and not
even any of the Chinese will believe it
unless the enemy in force marches into
the heart Of the country.
1t is we'll known that already in Pekin
1T is given out that the Brother of the
Sun" has ordered his tributary state,
America, to send its servant, Mr.. Foster
to Japan and stop the war; that the EN-
peror is and has been victorious, and that
all the advances of the Japanese are SIM
ply permitted by China in order to en-
trap the enemy. No, it is necessary that
the Japanese march as conquerors in or
der to give moral effect to victory and in
sure future peace.
AS to conquest, is it surprising that an
insular people should endeavor to en-
large the borders of their possessions at
the expense of an enemy that has been so
stubborn, unreasonable and cruel as
have the Chinese? Is it unreasonable
that such people should demand some
thing in compensation for the enormous
cost of the war?
No, China is hide-bound in supersti-
tion, walled in by conservatism, barri-
caded by inflated self-esteem, and needs
the conceit and self-suficiency taken out
Of her; but even a sound thrashing will
only do it in part. China is not nation.
She is but an aggregation of States ruled
by Mandarins and so-called Viceroys,
who are subservient to the Emperor
through fear only, and are not inspired
by national pride.
China has neither national unity. al
phabet, common tradition, tongue, hope,
aspiration or history. She will not be
driven out into the open of civilization
and out of patriarchism until there is a
breaking up that will put the Tartar to
one side; that breaks through the guard
line of exclusiveness and lets some light
into the souls of the masses. That will
The record-union., 1895-01-08

not be done in the next hundred years,
no matter what the outcome of the pres
ent war.
AS for Japan the effect of the war will
be the establishment of better though not
more cordial relations with her neighbor,
but beyond that effect it will not result
In much awakening of China. Some OF
her self-conceit will be removed, but it
will not extend far beyond the Mandarin
class. The millions will not know much
about the war or its outcome, just as
now, while it is in progress, some two
hundred millions of the people of China
and Chinese Tartary are in ignorance
that such war is in progress.

The Federation of Religious Benefi-

A RECoRD-UNIoN reporter yesterday

throughout, and will afford warm and

Fifty iron beds, or hunks, neatly con-

tiers. These are supplied with new can

men employed at the rock pile were ac-
commodated with beds. and by tonight,
probably, the rest OF the hunks will be
ready.
Every precaution will be taken to keep
the beds clean. There is no woodwork to

DAVIS PRESIDES.
He Makes it Very Warm for Police
Court Offenders.

NobIS
The Police Court was crowded yester-
day morning with those curious to see
the initiation of Justice Davis on the
bench and those who sympathized with
the >so-called industrial Army officers,
whose case was to come up yesterday.
"GeneraP' Kelly, who had come up the
day before, occupied a seat beside them
within the rail.
Shortly before Il o'clock Justice De-
vine took his seat and stated that, it
being the first Monday in January, his
time had expired and he should sur
render the position to Justice Davis. Be-
fore doing so, however, he wished to
thank the bar, the officials and the police
department for the uniform courtesy he
had experienced at their hands, and to
bespeak the same for his successor.
Justice Davis, in taking his seat, spoke
of the season of lawlessness which had
been prevailing. 4 great responsibility
rested upon him in assuming the duties
of his office. He wished to say that no
man would be convicted on general
principles and no amount OF public
clamor would prevent him from giving
each man a fair and impartial trial,
whether friend or foe. He bespoke the
cooperation OF the various officials in his
work and announced that he would
open court promptly at 10 A. NJ, and
notified all concerned to be present on
time.
f. Kelly, charged with being drunk,
was the first TO face the new battery, and
was fined So, with the alternative OF five
days in Jail.
Henry Lucas, who got drunk and
raised row at Nineteenth and NJ streets,
was fined $40, with the usual alternative.
Miss Andrea was the next, and was
fined $40 for battery on another fallen
woman.
John Doe Magee, charged with battery
on David Land, pleaded guilty and was
fined 81 30.
j. Peruccine, charged with disturbing
the peace, was given severe lecture by
the court and fined $40.

way or depart. The violin solos by
MeSsrs. PARCELS and Clement were the
gems OF the evening. They played with
taste, feeling and artistic finish, not only
surprising but delightful. The audience
entered into the spirit OF the chorus sing
ing with Zest that proved how closely
recollection of youthful vigor and high
spirit clings to us all. The encores were
greater in number than the pieces set
down by the programme. and the DISPOSE
tIon was to keep the club at chorus work

Yesterday Monroe Salisbury visited
Agricultural Park and found the track
there in excellent condition despite the
recent heavy storms. He engaged stalls
for his string of world-famed trotters and
PAGERS, now at Fresno, and will race
them here in couple of weeks against
the worlds records.
John S. Prince, the champion long
distance bicycle rider of the world, ar
rived yesterday in the city. He came to
accept Saulsbury's challenge to race Fly
ing Jib against any bicyclist, but Sauls-
bury had gone away, and Prince will
wait here till the horseman's return.
Prince says he will race any of Sauls-
bury's flyers any distance from quarter
of mile to five miles. He has a mile
record of 1859, about the same as that OF
Flying Jib, the PAGER. While Princes
strong suit is long-distance racing, he is
confident he can beat the horse at any
stage Of the game.

yesterday as the result of an affray be-
tween jeff Yates, a motorman on the

ductor on the M-street line, in which the
latter shot the former, bat not fatally.
The shooting took place at boarding
house out near the car-house on Twenty
eighth street, about the time the men
were going TO dinner. Stafford claims
that Yates has for long time been bully
ing and abusing him, and that he (1ates)
was lying in wait for him yesterday
when he went to dinner and resumed his
abuse, calling him all sorts of vile names.
Stafford says he told Yates he would

Yates is large man and of powerful

Others say there is nothing really bad
about him; that while he is bluff in his
