Those who are given to abusing the
and reservation of alternate locations
of placers should reflect that ii is the
abstract right Of the Dominion TO pro-
hibit mining by aliens entirely. The
laws of which complaints are made
were passed last spring, and they ex-
pressly declare that the reason for the
taxation and reserves is to accumu-
late money to police the country, for
are to be sold at auction or otherwise
for the benefit of the Government The
taxation, necessarily heavy, because of
the cost of maintaining government in
that new section, applies not to aliens
alone, but to subjects of the British
Empire as well, so that it cannot be
said to be discriminating. We are not
discussing the wisdom of these laws,
nor of the policy of thus collecting
revenue, but it is simply the question
of American criticism of the laws in
connection with ill-concealed threats to
resist them. These have come rather
in the form of suggestions from ire
sponsible newspaper writers, who, if
they We're upon the ground, would
probably talk differently There will
be no resistance to the Dominion Off
GERS, nor win there be anything so silly
attempted as an effort to wrest local
government from the Dominion author
tiles and set up a miners or independent
government. Should any one be so silly
as to promote such a scheme he will
certainly be severely dealt with, and
he could expect neither aid nor SYM
pathy from the American Government.
The fight to save the lives of murder
ers from the penalty of the law has
now reached the stage when a new i'm
pediment to speed and celebrity in the
administration of justice will be met
in every case in which the people have
the temerity to attempt to punish life
takers for their crimes. The Supreme
Court of the United States is to be ap-
pealed to probably in every instance,
and thus further delay secured In
the case of Hill, who was to have been
hanged at San Quentin Friday, the rope
was all but around his neck. when
proceeding in a Federal Court stayed
the execution and the murderer
thus given a new lease of his forfeited
life. We do not know that this is to
be regretted, however, since it, along
with the other murder cases now on
appeal TO the Federal Appellate Court
from California, viii have strong ten
dency TO work such reform in the law
that these new obstacles will be re-
moved. While the whole people are
clamoring for greater certainty and
swiftness in the execution of the Grim
inal laws, the movement seems to be
towards still greater delays and still
less certainty. The outcome must be
such reformation as will operate in
harmony with the general and just de-
mand of the whole people of the coun-
try. If every murder case the State
prosecutes is to be carried to the Ma
tional courts and through them on ap-
peals, State courts will become of little
use IN administering the criminal laws,
and cut-throats and thugs will stand
a better chance for long life than the
witnesses who appear against them.

If the crew of a certain Italian vessel

the Noors will prove stiffnecked in or
der that the Italians can have good
excuse for blowing half of that country

come more bold and extended than
ever. The thieves of the sea are giving
us examples of robbery and throat
cutting such as we read of as preva-
lent two centuries ago, when Moorish
buccaneers roamed the seas and laid
ships of all nations under tribute. The
United States had to chastise these
fellows once, but we did not half do
the job. 1t should now be thoroughly
accomplished, that Moorish piracy will
become tradition only.

Riverside Globe: The suggestion of
Secretary Filcher of the State Board
of Trade, that California should be rep
resented at the fresh fruit exhibition at
Hamburg, is an excellent one. says the
San Diego Union" This State has al
ways been awarded the gold medal for
dried fruits at the Hamburg Exposition.
, 1t should now show the people who are
gathered at Europe's GREATEST market
what California fruit is like before it is
dried. Whether or not profitable
trade in California fresh fruits can be
built UP with so remote country as
Germany, may be rather doubtful; at
least this would be the inference from
the not wholly satisfactory results of
the experimental shipments to England.
But hat California can dispose of vast
quantities of its dried fruits in Ger
many and other parts of Europe, has
been amply demonstrated by the Ham
burg Exposition. 1t would seem that by
making a good display of fresh fruits
at that great fair, the interest that has
already been awakened in the dried
fruit products of CALIFORNIA; orchards
would BIZ much increased, and for this
reason, if for no other, Secretary Fill
cher's suggestion deserves favorable
consideration

Evangeline Cisneros is by no means
so desperate as the sensational journals
have tried to make out. The girl has
not been condemned as yet, much less
sentenced to penal servitude. The
ejaculatory and yellow press have done
their utmost to make a sensation out
of the case, and in that movement has
| induced a large number of good peo-
pie to sign and. forward appeals to
| Spain, to the Pope, TO our own Govern
ment, and to officials and dignitaries
| here and there, in behalf of the girl to
save her from condemnation that has
not yet been visited upon her. Our
Consul General in Cuba reports that
the case has been greatly exaggerated,
and that it does not warrant the fran
tic appeals that have been made. 1t is
read between the lines of General Lees
statement that such efforts as these
tend TO harm rather than help the
cause of the Cubans. and operate to
! belittle the American nation in the eyes
/ of foreign powers But then, what does
the sensational press care for that, so
long as it can sell its sheets and puff

son why we should intercede for any
one in Cuba; if there is any case justi-

FOREIGN PROTESTS.

Humboldt Standard If any one
wishes to be convinced that the new
tariff bill was designed to help Ameri-
cans i'll America, let him read the pc
titious and protests that come from
nearly every city and country of Eu-
rope, saying that the bill would de-
prive their people of the benefits of
our markets. Large numbers of work
men in foreign cities petitioned their
Governments to protest against the
BILL as it would deprive them of a
market for their goods. 1t occurs to
the average American, that the wage
workers in this country should be given
chance to earn wages in preference
to those of any foreign country. The
law was made for Americana itiZens
and not for citizens of Europe or Asia.
The Congressional Record" contains
pages of these protests and petitions,
laid before Congress by request of for
eign ambassadors and Ministers. That
the foreigners do not like the law is
not proof positive that 1t will be a
blessing to US; but it carries strong
presumption that the work and wages
formerly going to foreigners, will now
go to our own people. We have per-
feet right to say to foreign nations and
their people on what terms they may
bring their goods and wares here, and
their protests, while receiving respect
full consideration, did not influence
Congress in fixing the customs duties
on foreign goods. We shall be better
able to tell what it's effects will be a

THEY ARE DISINCLINED.


Yreka Journal: Comment is head on
all sides on the marked Discrimination of
all the prominent Democrats to talk
for free silver. This has been specially
noticeable since silver commenced to
decline in price again. Among them>
selves heretofore ardent Democratic
silvertes have not hesitated to express
their admiration for the manner in
which Boss German hedged on the sill
yer question in the Maryland Demo-
cratic Platform, and there is very lit
tie doubt that many of the National
Democratic leaders regard fire silver
played out as a battle cry, and are
engaged in hunting new phrase which
they can use to bamboozle the voters.
| The death of the free silver craze is
also regarded as the end of the candi-
dacy Of Bryan. Meanwhile the country
grows daily more prosperous, and the
people know that they owe their re-
turning prosperity TO the faithfulness
with which President Mckinley and the
Republicans in Congress kept the prom

likely to pay any serious attention to
any rev experiment that may be pro-
posed by the beaten and demoralized
Democratic party. A majority of the
voters in 1892 trusted the Democratic
party to their everlasting sorrow, and
four years of distress, but they won't
do it again.

THE WHEAT FURRY

Berkeley World: The wheat furry OF
the few days just past is probably
merely the precursor of a series of
speculative excitements which will ap-
pear at all the large commercial cen
ters. The country is just about to
emerge from long period of depres-
sion, and a plunge into an era of spec
ulation is just as inevitable as is the
coming of winter after summer.
1t may be deplored on some sides that
temperance cannot rule in business as
it ought to do in everything, but the
fact remains that men in the mass
