AN OBJECT LESSON.

The death of Sheriff Douglass at the
hands of a footpad whom he was seek
ing to arrest emphasizes again the ne
cessity for a State Constabulary. Three
Sheriffs in this State have recently
fallen before the guns of highwaymen.
They were victims of our want of prop
er organization for the protection of
citizens and their property from the at
tacks Of robbers.
These three Sheriffs were killed be-
cause they had to act independently
and pursue criminals alone In whose ar
rest all the State, even more than a
single county, had special interest. Had
we a small State Constabulary force
operating with the peace officer force
of the State, and empowered to direct
1t, we should soon put stop to high
way robbery and would render the es-
cape of all orders of criminals SO doubt
full that the criminal class would be
terrorized and crime largely suppressed

THE COMMON PEOPLE.

There Is a great deal of insufferable
cant indulged in in this campaign about
the common people, And who pray
are the common people? All American
citizens stand upon one political level
Their rights, privileges and duties are
the same. The protection afforded them,
their property and liberties Is the same
1t makes no difference whet their
worldly goods or the volume of them,
the law gives to all alike the same pro-
lection. This system of government
knows no classes. AS for the masses
they are all the people of the United
States, and who ever talks Of classes
and masses comparatively and as dis
tinct does SO either dn ignorance Of the
American Government and American
citizenship, or he is demagogic teacher
and an insincere American.
All this chatter about 1.-The good Of the
common people," the money Of the
common people," the rights of the COM
mon people," says the Los Angeles
Times" is "arrant nonsense" So 1t is
and good deal more; it is insulting. So
far from being sympathetically express
sfve, so far from being complimentary
to the American citizen 1t is an insult to
his manhood, an affront to his pride, a
gross and objectionable indignity put
upon him.
In this country the laws are for all the
people. they exact obedience from all.
they secure all in their rights, they af-
ford all the same access to the tribunals.
If there is anl distinction in these mat
ters' it is not because fthe law, but Of
corrupt, weak and pliable men. The
American system in short does not note
or permit of distinctions save only be-
tween the law abiding and the lawless.
AS the Times" well says, this Is not a
class nation; but the catching dema-
gogues who are talking of their hearts
bleeding for the common people" are
doing their best to set up classes and
cultivate hatred, ill-will and despite as
the fruits of envy and covetousness. Our
contemporary well says:
We are all the same kind of people in
America, without distinction as to class,
and without difference as to opportuni-
ties. The poor boy Of to-day is the mill
ionaire of tomorrow. The boy on the
tow-path Of the canal, or the youth
gaining an education in a. log cabin by
the light OF pine knot, is later the Pres
ident of the Republic. The chronic
kicker who would divide the community
into classes, as the common people" and
some other kind of a people. is either a
fool, demogogue or a knave, or all
three. There can be no system Of tariff.

SLEPT THROUGH A WRECK.
The Passenger Woke Up to Curse His
Wife About the Eggs.

s1 cannot vouch for the truthfulness
of this story" said Jeff Caylor, "but I
will tell it, and you can judge for your
selves. The man, whose name I do not
now recall, boarded a sleeping car
standing near the Union depot in st.
Louis. After placing his ticket where
1t could be found by the conductor he
retired, and in very few minutes he
was fast asleep. The humping and
humping of the cars about the depot
did not disturb him in the least, and by
the time the train was well under way
ne was far into the land of nod About
? o'clock in the morning drove of
horses got on the track. The engineer
did not see them in time to stop, and he
concluded that the next thing to do un-
der the circumstances was to tear her
wide open. He did so, and the train was
wrecked. The car in which the hero of
the story was sleeping was thrown
from the track and rolled down a twen-
ty-foOt embankment. Those of you who
have ever been mixed up in a wreck
know full well what follows. The cries
for help, the shrieks of the dying and
wounded, and over all the horrible siz-
Zing of the steam escaping from the en-
gine. Those who escaped uninjured lost
no time in beginning the work of res
cuing those imprisoned in the wreck
After an hours time they reached the
man from st. Louis. Under pile of bed
ding, and surrounded by the dead and
dying, they found him. He appeared to
be unconscious and they tenderly raised
him and bore him from the scene. Just
as they were placing him on a cot he
aroused himself and gently breathed
the name Mary
Poor fellow said someone, he is
thinking about his wife
His next remark knocked this in the
head, however.
Mary he yelled, what the devil do
you mean? When I ask you for fried
eggs I do not expect to get them
boiled
With this remark he jumped to his
feet and looked wildly around him.
"'Where-what-wha wrong?' he
asked.
The situation was explained to him,
and as soon as he could get his bear
ings he went to work with the others.

(From the Placer Argus)
We published last week a portion Of
the Congressional Record, showing as
plainly as possible, how earnestly Hon.
Grove L. Johnson worked to secure the
passage Of the mineral land bill Mr.
Johnson rose to a question Of personal
privilege and administered to the black
mailing Examiner" such a castigation
as it richly deserved. We have watched
Mr.. Johnson closely, and certainly all
that he could do was freely done in
behalf of the mining interests Of the
State. The Republican Congressional
Convention is called for August 18th at
Sacramento, and we have no reason to
seriously doubt that Mr.. Johnson will
be ronominated So far as our own
county is concerned, as we understand
it, the delegates to the late State Con-
vention were accredited to the coming
Congressional Convention AS they
cheerfully aided in sending Mr.. John
son to St Louis, we feel certain that
they will favor his denomination for
Congress. Look the State over, and

State Constable and under him five dep
uties- These five should be located at
widely separated points in the State,
while the Chief should be at the Capital.
With his deputies he would be In close
communication not by one line Of wire,
but by several routes, SO that he could
at no time be cut off from them.
He would have power to send his dep
uties with full authority into any Sec
ton County lines would not circum-
scribe their efforts. Sheriffs, Consta-
bles, Marshals and police officers would
all be required to cooperate with the
State officers, and act upon their plans
Of campaign. Thus we would have a
systematized force of some 1,5OO peace
officers scattered all over the State act
ing harmoniously under one head, and at
all times with concert of purpose and
plan, instead as now moving independ-
emily of each other and oftener than
not at cross purposes.
Moreover, the State force would be
advised of the movements Of all GRIM
inals both in this State and in con-
tiguous States. The State force would
have constant communication with all
State Prison Wardens in the United
States, Mexico and Canada, and with
all Chiefs of Police and Marshals on
the coast, as well as with all Sheriffs
of California, Oregon, Washington and
the Territories. 1t will be seen that
with such an organization, with an eff
cient Chief, the escape Of robbers would
be exceedingly difficult, and their cap
ture greatly less hazardous than now.
A State Constable with power to take
with him any and all Sheriffs and Con-
stables of counties in which he oper-
ates or finds it necessary to pass, using
his force with discretion and having
them act according to the plans of his
Chief, to whom the fullest information
would always come, would have ad-
vantages that Sheriffs acting alone and
without wise concert with each other
can never enjoy.

There should be no single standard
in money estimation. The Republi-
lican party is not favoring single
standard. It wants the money Of the
Nation to recognize the standards Of
the commercial world, and in domestic
shall have equal recognition among the
people and before the law. We have
a single standard country at our very
doors. Mexico has the single silver
standard. AS a result, gold is so ap-
preciated there that by it's measure
ment the Mexican silver dollar Is de-
preciated in its purchasing power.
Thus the Mexican Herald" Of June
21st illustrates the matter, says the
Stockton Record" which has a copy
of that foreign paper at hand. In the
"Herald's'' advertising columns a dem
tist announces his price for certain
work to be $25, which in the United
States cost $40 or $15 only. The Vic
tor bicycle selling in this country at
S100, is advertised by Agent Crump in
the City Of Mexico at 5000, while the
American S110 Fowler wheel is listed
in Mexico by Agent Mcneil at S225.
The Herald" itself charges 81
delivery month subscription to Mexi-
cans, or $40 year to Mexicans by
mail, but 1t mails the paper to Ameri-
cans over the border for $6 a year "in
gold" At the same time, while prices
in Mexico double with the single
standard, wages Of labor are down al
most to bedrock. Agricultural labor
rates at from twenty-five to thirty
one cents day, and skilled mechanics
receive from fifty, to seventy-five
cents day. No; single standard is
the last thing on earth this free land
wants. Neither gold nor silver alone
is its desire. but both as the money of
the country.

Always and forever 1t has been the
rule In highly civilized nations that
where money has its best reward wages
have their highest schedule. Protec-
ton assures capital invested in do
mestic enterprises Of industry and pro-
duction it's best reward, and CORES
spondingly wages advance and labor
finds it's highest rate. It Is reasonable
that it should be SO, and it Is right be-
cause reasonable. The best under
standing exists between capital and la
Dor when both have their best rewards.
There is the least friction when there
is highest wage and fairest profit. Pro-
lection Of home industries is there
fore the conservator of peace and con-
tent all around. For these reasons
the Republican party says to the men
of America that the financial question
is secondary to their interests COM
competition by low-priced labor and
the product Of pauper industry.
uS anu lllc IOpullSl par
ties will not be allowed to dodge the
tariff issue. 1t is the real, vital issue in
this campaign, and neither sneers nor
hysterical cries about fifty-cent dollars
will down 1t. The closed factory, the
idle worker, the unemployed army Of
American artisans. the stagnation Of
trade, the out-of- commission merchant
marine-these are eloquently emphatic
in affirmation of the fact that the ques-
ton of protection is one that most near
ly concerns the American people to-day.
There Is another and especial reason
why the drainage outfall sewer ought
to devoted by the people OF Sacramento
August 18th, namely, we are to have a
body Of legislators with us the coming
winter for about three months, and
the accompanying party of strangers
that attaches to a legislative session.
We do not want these people to be
given an object lesson of our incompe-
tency to rid the city of winter waters.
The effect of such exhibitions is al
ways bad.
