When the Maine State Grange met
in Augusta, last month. a committee
was appointed, composed of members
of the order who are also members of
this Legislature, to have in hand mat
tiers of Importance to the agricultural
interests, to push those measures the
furious to them. Though representing
a secret order the work of the commit
tee is entirely legitimate and open, and
it aims to cooperate with the COM
mittee on agriculture and the State
board of agriculture. The members of
the committee are Senators Roberts of
Oxford, Merrill OF Somerset, and Salley
of Somerset. and Representatives
Hamilton of Biddeford, Mitchell of New
field, Moore of Monson, Whitney of
Norridgewock, Littlefield of Kenne-
bunk, and Smith of Masardis. The COM
mittee organized, Thursday afternoon,
with Senator Roberts as chairman and
Representative Mitchell as clerk. The
first and important measure for which
the Grange influence will be used is a
proposed law protecting the farmers
against adulteration of grass seeds and
commercial feed stuffs. Later it will
work to have the State bear larger,
and the town q less, proportion of the
school tax, also for good roads and
other measures to be decided upon
later.

THE CHINESE RESTRICTION DE
CISION.

The recent decision of United States
District Judge Hanford at Seattle re-
lative to the incoming of the wives,
daughters and servants of Chinese mer-
chants, it is believed by the Federal
officials in San Francisco and along the
whole coast, to let the bars down so
completely that there is now nothing to
stop the Chinese from importing just as
many of the prohibited class as they
please to ship over.
If this conclusion is correct, and we
confess that it SENS to be, Congress
must take action in the premises as soon
as it assemblies. But it is feared that it
cannot do so without coming into con-
flict with treaty stipulations we have
with China. The decison is in effect that
the female members of the families OF
Chinese merchants now in the United
States. or who may come in, do not
have to present certificates from the
Chinese Government certifying that
they. are entitled to land. Probably this
is right construction of the law, besides
1t is simply impossible or very nearly sc
for the Chinese Government TO Issue
truthful certificates of that order. II

in the United States than may be dis

The question of sugar beet culture
for Sacramento County is again lead
ing question among the prominent
business men and farmers about the
Capital. The Record Union is dis
cussing the. question with pencil, paste
pot and scissors. There is no ques-
tion in our mind but a sugar factory
at Sacramento would be a paying in
vestrnent, there being so much fertile
land tributary because of river and
railroad TRANSPORTATION. Though
Wheatland's proposed sugar factory
must wait till the next century, there
is no reason why our farmers may not
raise beets and market them in Sacra-
mento.

will disgrace his race, and be a dis
credit to any race.
The New York Post thinks the sit
uation almost hopeless for colored Re-
publicans in the South. Their weak.
ness is their color. The party mana
gers must either recognize" the negroes
by giving them their fair share of
prominent offices, or they must snue
them because of their color. If they
recognize the blacks, they drive off so
many whites that they stand no chance
of carrying elections. If they snub the
colored politicians, they disgust the
colored voters. whose hearty support is
always essential to success. AS to the
Hogansville affair. it contends that the
Administration must assert the power
of the Government if need be to COM
mand respect and safety for its of
fcials
The Chicago Tribune" Springfield
Republican" New York Tribune, =
and journals of that character, de-
nounce the attack upon the Hogansville
Postmaster, and hold that the Presi-
dent must stand by his appointee and
sustain him in office if it requires the
entire army to do it.
The Record Union" has already ex-
pressed itself to the effect that while
that appointment may have been mad
visable in a community where race
prejudice is 50 bitter, the duty of the
Government is to maintain the official
in his office until legally removed or
the expiration of his term. The attempt
to kill the official was a brutal mani
fiesta ton of a low state of civilization.
In this connection the following ex-
tract from expressions Of the Raleigh
News and Observer" gives some indi-
cation of the feeling concerning the col
ored man in office in the South. The
News and Observer" says:
Things have greatly changed in Hall
fax County during the past few years.
Now we have a negro County Commits
sioner, a negro Postmaster at every inn
portant Postof1ce in the county but
two, a negro jailer, and a negro court
crier. The white people are getting
very tired of it, and from general indi-
| cations there will be a strong effort
| for them to come together again.

YESTERDAYS OBJECT LESSON.

The condition of the streets in the
residence sections in many parts of the
city, after a sharp rain storm yester-
day testified to the imperative need
for a change Of administration in the
municipal government of Sacramento.
The Mayor is responsible for the Street
Superintendent and the Street Superin-
tendent is responsible for the shame
full conditions of yesterday.
The outfalI sewer was not choked,
it has ample capacity to carry ths
storm water of such a storm as that
of yesterday and the night preceding.
The trouble was that Superintendent
Croly had not provided for the clear
ing of cutters at crossings, the clear
ance Of the manhole covers and the
opening of the cross street drains.
So it happened yesterday that on
many streets one side Of the way was
flooded with water and the crossings
were knee deep with the muddy fluid,
while on the opposite side the cutters
carried off the water easily and fed II
to manholes because citizens had
cleared off rubbish and dirt, rather
than have their property fronts con
verted into miniature Croly lakes.
1t was the common judgment of the
people yesterday that the most ordi-
.~- = 1;1;+,r 49, xk4i oas cI,o,rId I1ava made
ready long ago for the setting in of the
wet season But nothing was done un-
til the rain was upon US, and then men
were put to work pol1ing away the ac-
cumulated mud at some manholes and
piling il up to be washed into the old
place by the falling rain.
AS we said yesterday if there was nc
money to pay for work to clear the
cutters, and free the manholes when
the sun shone, the administration could
easily have washed its hands of re-
sponsibility by warning the people thai
they must get out and do the work
themselves. Nothing of that kind was
done, however Everything was left
to drift until the storm was on, anc
then with sewer capacity in plenty ant
costly plant at the foot of S stree
to lift out the water, the people woke
up to discover that the ability of tht
sewers to drain the city is offset by thu
stupidity of an administration tina
failed to clear the points of water in
gress into the sewers. But there wa
money to pay for the work, becaus'
after the storm worknien were EN-
ployed.
Such bungling is simply unpardona
bla Does any one for moment thinl
that such a condition of affairs woult
be permitted by, VIM. Land if he file,

closed in affidavits,. and with the Chin
ese as a rule such instruments are ex-
ceeding cheap.
Nor can the Chinese Government know
who are and who are not merchants in
the United States, among the people of
its country with US unless indeed it
withholds its hand until its Consuls re-
port But that is unlikely. The Chinese
Government never has and never will
busy itself to help us out with our Re
stnction Acts. The result will be that
every Chinanan who chooses to pose as
merchant and father or husband, can
bring in ali the women and children he
pleases, since the court holds the certi-
ficate provision not to be obligatory
under the treaty we have with China,
which accords to Chinese resident in the
United States the rights secured to the
people Of the most favored nation who
reside here.
The decision of Judge Hanford is di-
rectly opposed to that of a Federal
Court in New. York not long since But
while in both cases appeals will be taken,
there is small hope that a decision can
be obtained from the Supreme Court OF
the United States for year or more,
unless because of the great Importance
of the issue the appellate tribunal can
be induced to advance the cases for
hearing.
We very much fear that when the
court of last resort has passed upon the
issues involved the decision will support
that of the Seattle Court. If so, the
gates will be thrown, wide open ana
Chinese slavery will ride on the flood
tide of success on the Pacific Coast, and
practically a host of the prohibited
classes. as we'll as the inhibited women
will flock in.
There must be salvation from such a
deplorable condition. The Record
Union has never faltered in its efforts
to have effective exclusion of the unde-
sirable element obtain. 1t will not lose
hope now. Congress must stay the yell
low tide that threatens the coast under
the late decison If it is necessary to
treat anew with China to secure the de-
sired end. then that must be done. 1t is
simply unthinkable that the slaves and
concubines of the Chinese are to be ad-
mitted to our ports without let or hind
rar1oa

Careful attention to- European news,
and reading of all the leading corre-
spondence from the far East to the New
York press fails to disclose satisfactor-
lily why Turkey fingers still in Thessaly.
The latest accounts say that the Turks
have given consent to exiled Thessa-
lians to return to their homes, but no
one Of that unhappy band of refugees
desires to return to a home occupied
by Turkish soldiery. The convention
by which peace was secured between
Turkey and Greece was signed six
weeks ago. by which the Turkish troops
were given twenty days in. which to
evacuate the territory Instead of
getting out the Turk has absolutely sent
in five more brigades and large num-
ber of skeleton battahons, and not a
single soldier has returned to his home
out of Thessaly. In the meantime the
Powers are busy star gazing, or Wis
iting, or doing anything but observing
what is going on. Probably not in all
history has there been a parallel to
the cool effrontery of the Turk in Thes-
sally.
