charity-at any rate, in considering The fu-
ture OF China the missionary influence can
not be counted upon for any good.
The Chicago Inter Ocean says that there
are other missionaries who agree with
Ashmore and Williamson, and adds that
the deficits in the foreign missionary
funds in recent years go to show that the
Christians of this country are more and
more inclined TO extend their aid to
throwing light into the dark corners of
our own country. and extending loving
hand to those who are in distress to max o
them feel that Christianity means to-day
what it did when Christ taught the re-

THE SUPREME COURT REPLIES.

In another column to-day we present
the full letter of Chief Justice Beatty of
the Supreme Court of California ad-
dressed to the court below that impan-
eled the late Grand Jury in San Fran
cisco. In this letter the Chief Justice,
speaking for his tribunal, scores the
Grand Jury for criticism of the Supreme
Court and for intimations against the
court, that arraign its fairness and judi
cial integrity. He shows that not only
are the charges and intimations Of the
Grand Inquest false as to the fact and un-
true as to conclusion, but that they were
made with the record before the jury
which shows the statements Of that body
to be lie.
1t is q most unusual proceeding for an
appellate court to reply to slanderous
accusations. It Is SO rare, indeed, that
this case stands almost alone in the
judicial annals of this State, if indeed 1t is
not the only instance of record. But OF
late it has become so common for news
papers and others and pessimists and
calamity growlers and enemies of the
republic to assume all men to be corrupt
and the courts to be the creatures of un-
worthy influences and the agencies Of
corruption, that the protest and scathing
reply of the Chief Justice is not only de-
manded, but had it been omitted the pub
lilo would have been justified In assum-
ing the charges of the jury to be well
founded.
We invite the attention of our readers
to this letter, since 1t serves to expose the
hollowness of set of charges that may
be said to be typical of all. The letter is
. sharp. indignant and yet dignifed
document, and must serve to inspire
still higher regard for the court OF final
RsEort,

MISSIONARY EFFORT IN CHINA.

We have respect for the physical and
moral courage of the sincere Christian
missionary who goes out to preach the
gospel fthe GROSS among strange peoples,
who acoff at and revile, maltreat and mob
him. We were not surprised to hear that
in interior China recently missionaries
had been assaulted, beaten and some
killed and their houses burned, for the
Chinese are most tenacious of their relig-
ion, and that they should pass restraint
and mob missionaries was not astonish-
ing. The same thing has happened many
times before.
It is gratifying to learn by latest ad-
vices that no American missionaries suf-
fered personal violence in any great
measure, though some of them were in
iured and their property was destroyed.
AS they are in the country under treaty
right, our Government will doubtless see
TO it that they are compensated for their
LOSSES,
But all this suggests the inquiry
whether the missionary effort in China is
worth the candle? We are led to believe
that no such good results have followed
the work of missionaries in China as to
justify the cost, the labor and the risk.
The prejudices of the Chinese are so
strong, their attaehment to the religion OF
their traditions so tenacious, that it Is
to be doubted if any gain has been made
among them that repays.
Henry Norman in his work, people
and Politics of the Far East" declares
that missionary effort in China is pro-
ductive of harm rather than of good; that
such good as may have been accom-
pliShed is more than counterbalanced by
evil. Mr.. Norman quotes from mission
ary DR.. Williamson, who labored for
years holding up the cross in China, that
nothing of account was accomplished,
and DIR. Ashmore of the American Bap-
tist Mission is cited as an authority agree
ing with him. He says: NOW they the
Chinese) are beginning to hate u.s." Mr.
Norman says:
If the subscribers to Chinese missions could
only see for themselves the minute results of
good and the considerable results OF harm
that their money produces they would find

NOTE AND COMMENT.

Sacramento must now prove that it has the
moral courage equal to the deserving of its
promised advance and prosperity. There is
really no gain In commercial advancement
unless there Is equally an advance upon the
lines of reform that tend to place California
communities On the level to which our
brethren at the East are accustomed In their
towns and cities If we expect them to bring
their families and dwell with us and here in
vest their savings, we must accord to their
demands regarding social conditions which
here are much at variance with the standards
of Eastern towns and cities OF the same size
and importance We are accustomed to
things that to us seem trivial, but which to
the Eastern visitor are absolute otfenses and
tend to repel him.
The Electrical Carnival Committee is going
to call for a goodly sum of money But it
ought to be given with rush. 1t is the very
best kind of an investment for the town. No
man can serve his home better than by prov
ing his faith in it and by investing in it, The
thing the carnival is to emphasize will do
more to call attention to Sacramento and
bring TO US p ople, money and industry than
any other possibly can. Let us therefore,
prove to the world how liberal we can be to
ourselves.
A contemporary, commenting with bitter
ness upon the testimony of a fruit-grOwer be-
fore the Labor Commissioner that he could
not trust white workers in the critical stages
of the fruit harvest because he had 10 round

find half OF them drunk, asks, What is the
matter with our white laborers?' In this case
the answer would seem 10 indicate itself
whisky.
viii China now begin to prepare herself for
q great military struggle in the not distant
future? 1t is not unreasonable TO expect her
10 do so. If she does not, China will prove
that she is a more backward and cowardly
nation than her bitterest enemies have es-
teen1ed her. Secretary Herbert of the Naval
Department thinks there is a probability OF
the giant nation rousing herself and discover
ing the real strength that lies in the NUM- bers
OF her people and in tile more substantial re-
sources of the country

An excess of reven ne receipts would not
alter the question of national solvency,
as in the struggle to maintain the gold
reserve, the treasury gold could not pay
debts with the money it had, but only
with gold, and that, to the foreign invest
ors, is the only concern, as the withdrawal
of gold is direct result of fright.
There is nothing to alleviate the situa-
tion SO much as legislation which will
lessen the desire for gold. 1t is not clear
how an increase in revenue, unless it be
in gold, can satisfy those whose only de.
sire is to draw gold from the government
store. Therefore, revenue increase is
deprecated.
RATIO OF 16 TO / PRONOUNCED IMPOSSIBLE.
Speaking of the proposition to relieve
the financial situation by the free coinage
of silver at the ratio of 16 to l, the presi-
dent declares that no government, no
human contrivance, no act of Legislation
has ever been made able to hold the two
metals together in free coinage at ratio
of appreciable difference from that which
is established in the markets of the world.
A change in the standard to silver mono
metallism would bring collapse to our
entire credit system.
