A CURE FOR LAME BACK.

Chamberlain Pain Balm, and it has

Hoods Sarsaparilla is known to possess

known to be the best building-up medicine

tised, and for these reasons the people
buy and take Hoods Sarsaparilla almost

RUssIA-s TREATY WITH CHINA

After wears of diplomatic efforts,
Russia now seems in fair way TO
obtain foothold OH the Chinese
coast that will not only give a
winter harbor but also the control
Of a large portion Of northern Chi
ma. This pleasant turn OF affairs III
Ru--ia'- favor i believed 10 have
been brought about by the recent
treaty with China, the full terms
OF which have not been given TO
the public, although certain point
ell conclusions drawn by correspon-
dent, have not been denied. Re
cent London kilograms to Ameri-
can papers have intimated that the
London press for some time past
has sought 10 educate the British
mind to take a philosophical view
Of Russia's aggression in Manchu-
ria, preparatory to the announce
mcnt which may follow that Rus
STA has gained it, point in the ORR
ent.
Advices now come from Hong
Kong to the effect that the treaty
as published in Shanghai is denied
at st. Petersburg, and it is asserted
that ''the railway scheme Is contn-
ed to the building of short Chi
nese railway In Manchuria, con
Meeting with West Siberia and the
VIadivostock lines" The Hong
Kong Weekly Press, however, Is
inclined to look upon this denial
~ dirt thrown in the eyes OF the
public so that it will not appreciate
the full force of the victory, for
Russia lis we'll aware that the Cas-
SIM convention confers on her
great privileges and powers which
if iudicialIy utilized will preserve
for her a preponderating influence
at Picking, by enabling her to Sc
cure a grip upon Manchuria from
which she cannot readily be dis
lodged" The projected railways
are characterized as relatively short
when compared to the great trunk
line of the Trans-Siberian railway,
but they cover considerable dis
tances and would not ordinarily be
called short. |'By this instrument
China has virtually placed Man
churia at the disposal of the power
she has always most dreaded. Pc
king itself will be at the mercy OF
Russia so soon as the railways are
completed, and the Chinese Gov
eminent will, in all probability, ul-
timately become as much amenable
to Russian pressure as the Shah OF
Persia"
1t Is not probable that the Hong
Kong Press exaggerates the new
power Russia has gained by this
diplomatic stroke, but after all has
been said for and against the Mus
covite policy there seems to be no
good reason why Russia should be
forever barred from an outlet on
the Pacific. Admitting that this
treaty will be the first step toward
the disruption of the Chinese En-
pire, it would be next to impossible
for Russia to place any portion of
the Empire under any worse pOliti-
cal conditions than exist today.
China must sooner or later open its
doors to commerce and civilization,
and if the Muscovite Is the active
agent in forcing the way, the
world can afford TO deal leniently
with him.

The San Francisco Chronicle of
December 30 publishes a story that
Senator Perkins viii not have a
walk over in his election 10 the
United States Senate, having d
strong opponent in James y. Way
mire. Differences have arisen be-
tween the Senator and Mr.. Way
mire on account of the endorse
ment Of Hon. Horace Davis as a
possible California candidate for
the Mckinley cabinet. The latter
and his friends feel that they have
been dealt with unfairly, and con
sequentlv are in the fight to stay.
Senator Perkins principal danger
seems to be in possible failure of
reelection on the first ballot. Many
representatives are pledged to re-
main with him on the first ballot,
but should a second be required
they are free to 90 over to another.

so many years in politics Mr.. Per
kins can be defeated on this occa-
sion, when his reelection seems to
be a matter of critical Importance

SECURE THE FACTORY.

Sacramento has a direct and respon-
sible offer for a large manufacturing
industry, to add to her Importance and
gains; that, too, without any subsidy
being asked. What is demanded is
that the owners of lands shall guaran-
tee sufficient produce to keep the fac
tory running, that the operator and
the producer may alike be benefited.
We can have the sugar beet factory
then, if the farmers win subscribe to a
pledge that the beets will be grown, and
delivered at the current market price.
We are assured that our soil is admir-
ably adapted to the cultivation, that
the climatic conditions are all that
could be desired; that commercially we
are situated advantageously for trans
porting the raw material in, and dis
tributing the finished product
Capital is willing to invest its dol
lars if farmers in this county will in
vest the capacity OF some OF their acres
in a common enterprise. If we do not
succeed in inducing land owners to en-
brace this opportunity, it will be to
their lasting shame.

IT DIsAPPoINrs AND SATISFIES.

There is disappointment in the oppo-
sitio1 ranks that the Republican party
has put forward William Land for the
MayoraIty. There had been hopes of
such nomination as would promise
success to the opposing candidates. But
it is now realized that the Republican
party las nominated a strong man, a
man who cannot be handled, who will
do his duty as he sees it, and who will
endeavor to see it clearly, and as his
oath Of office eontemplates.
1t is found that Mr.. Land, who has
never before permitted his name to be
used for a political place. is close to
the leople; that his integrity Of char
acter, his industry. his steadfast de-
votion to the interests of the city and
his capacity to promote them, all make
him an irresistible force in the present
campaign; for he will be elected. Be-
yond all question he viii come out of
the contest with victory on his ban
ners.
There is no reason why in a Repubh-
can city, such as is this, he should not
rally united party about him, or that
he should fail to draw to his support
the votes of people outside the party
who want a practical business man at
the head of affains; man with notable
executive ability; citizen who knows
the true paths of economy, and who
considers the peoples trust as sacred
as mis- own private interests and as
much to be considered
William Lands candidacy is daily
breaking down and putting aside oppo-
sition to his nomination that may have
existed because of political or personal
understanding of the man. We believe
that Mr.. Land will give the city a
vigorous clean and wholesome admin
istradcn; that he will be the enemy
Of waste, the promoter of economy, and
yet never niggard nor narrow in the
matter of city betterments. He will be
firm in advancement of his views, and
yet will prove open to conviction.
He viii, we believe, be found in har-
mony with every advanced idea con-
corning municipal government, and will
make it his personal concern and daily
duty to see that every executive duty
given to him to discharge is performed.
This is becoming the conviction of the
people as they make inquiry into Will
lain Lands capacity and character,
and they are coming from outside his
celerity.

A QUESTION TO BE SETTLED.

The notice to dismiss the application
to the Supreme Court of the United
States of the defendant has been served
and filed in the Durrant case. 1t is al
together probable that the supreme tri
bunal will pass upon it with celerity,
since the court will take judicial notice
that there are many such cases pend
ing; that it is a matter of more than
usual concern in criminal practice, and
because there may be need of legisla-
tion at the approaching session of Con-
gress that the case should be decided
in advance of others, to the end that a
remedy for any possible defects in the
matter of appeals may be applied. 1t
it not uncommon for courts to take no.
tice of such matters, though they are
not of record before it.
If it is held that Durrant's appeal is
without merit, that will not be the end
of the whole matter, for it will not pre-
vent other defendants in criminal cases
from securing delays by appeal from
orders refusing Intervention on hear
ing the writ of habeas corpus, and from
orders refusing issuance of the writ.
It is reasonable to expect, therefore,
that the forthcoming decision in the
Durrant case and which may be ex-
pected in December, possibly late in
November, will indicate what if any,
legislation is necessary to prevent all
criminal cases being taken to the Su-
preme Court of the United States, clog
ging the calendars of that tribunal
hopelessly and practically taking out
of the States jurisdiction for time
every case of felony tried in a State
court
Certainly, the American system never
contemplated any such practice. If the
laws as they now stand permit these
appeals on the mere pretense that a
Federal question is involved, then there
must be legislation to remedy the evil,
for evil it assuredly would be.
There need be entertained no fear,
however, that the criminal cases of the
courts of the States are to be trans
ferred to the Supreme Court of the
United States. We do not believe that
the court will sustain the contention
made for the defendant in the Durrant
and the Worden cases, or any of the
many others of like character on ap-
peal. But if it should turn out that
the Supreme tribunal is compelled to
hold that the laws as they stand give
this right of appeal in all such cases,
we have faith that the legislative arm
of the Government will intervene, and
if necessary to do so, which we do not
apprehend, that the necessary consti-
tutional amendment will be submitted
to the States, and be adopted without
demur.

A NEW COMPLAINT.

Complaint is made in San Francisco
because the Supreme Court does not
out of hand and at once decide the San
Francisco Supervisor case now before
it. The case was not finally submitted
until Saturday last. It is one demand
ing much deliberation, careful examin-
alton Of the law, and the establishment
of a precedent that shall be the rule
of action for all the future and a guide
to legislation, and, perhaps, constitu-
tional amendment.
Besides it involves very important
questions of jurisdiction and methods
of procedure against municipal officers
Yet these nervous people who lose no
opportunity to criticise the courts for
hasty decisions and insufficient deliber-
alton, are murmuring because a bench
of seven Justices does not at once agree
upon the case in hand.
As The Stockton independent" we'll
asks, why should they?'' It took a
long time to present the case. There
was fled over 600 pages Of testimony,
briefs ard pleadings, and all these it
is expected the court shall overhaul at
once. suspending the business of all
other utigants, putting aside all other
cases and giving up its time wholly
to san Francisco interests. As the
independent we'll remarks:
1t is an easy matter for politicians
on sidewalks and in saloons to promptly
decide grave questions Of law or State
policy, but Judges are hedged about
by the law and must set aside their
personal or political preferences Whit

The latest advices indicate that the
struggle in Guatemala is approaching
crisis in which Dictator Barrios will
probably be overthrown. Incidental
to this piece of news is the statement
that there have been many outrages
upon the persons and property of Amer
leans in Guatemala by the Barrios par
ty, and that our representatives there
are unable to afford our people ade-
quate protection. This is the old, old
story We do not hear of similar tres
