SACRAMENTO CONGRATULATED.

(From the San Francisco Voice.
Sacramento and the State of Cali
fornia are to be congratulated on hay
ing one daily paper which is clean, and
which parents can safely allow to be
brought to their breakfast tables. We
have read the Record Union for the
past six months and during that time.
While our San Francisco dailies have
reeked with filth dragged out of the
sewers and dripped with bloody horrors
and unspeakable sensationalism, the
Record Union has given the news with
out debauching its readers or pandering
to depraved tastes In it's editorial depart
ment the Record Union is especially
todbe commended for its outspoken con-
demnation of dishonesty. immortality
and that which debauches and degrades.
We congratulate Sacramento on having
every day an illustration of the fact that
that it is possible for a daily newspaper
to be bright, newsy and enterpriSing
without becoming a muck rake or a
purveyor of all that is vile and unclean.
Such a paper in San Francisco would be
a greater power for good than score
OF her ablest pulpits, and would appeal
to and receive the support of the best
elements in this city and this part of

The protest of Japan against the an
neXation of Hawaii has not created the
CONSERVATION or ruffled the Govern
ment as the japanese Minister evident
ly expected. The reception of the
protest by the press and officials is
such as to indicate that if anything
was waiting to assure the ratification
or the annexation treaty Japan has
furnished it. The claim that annexa-
ton will prevent the Japanese residents
in Hawaii under a treaty negotiated
and concluded under the monarchy of
Kalakaua from becoming voters in Ha-
wall is without legal strength or rea-
son. When Japan negotiated that
treaty and handled Gibson. the Kings
rlght hand man, to it's own ends, it
knew perfectly well that by the law
OF nations and by all right and reason
the change of jurisdiction by peacea BILE
methods and consent of the governed
would operate to dissolve the compact.
Japan entered into the convention with
the foreknowledge that such a political
change would necessitate readjustment
of relations. The United States is
not bound by action under the over
thrown monarchy. It is not bound to
stand by and see a free people trans
ferred to semi-slavery because a for
eign power has seen fit to colonize the
islands with its coolies for the express
purpose of effecting peaceable but
| nevertheless nefarious conquest. The
observation-disclosures treaty intended
just that. 1t is impossible for the i'm
partial mind to contemplate it and not
discover that the late King and his
corrupt adviser and the ambassadors
of the Mikado both foresaw what the
result must be, namely, that it per-
mitted Japan's millions to overrun
Hawaii, and through the ballot-box
| possess the country just as effectuallv
as if the Emperor of Japan had moved
an armed force upon the islands and
seized and annexed them. Really, the
United States might long ago have rea-
sonably protested against the consum-
nation of the Japan treaty on the
ground that it was only another way to
conquest that would be inimical to
our interests in the mid Pacific.

The students of the Chicago JTniver

h2hts into the schedule of college amuse
ments. Are they preparing a chair of
the art Of pugilism for the rejuvenating

on as essentially stimulating, as relax
alton and as recreative spectacles for
the refreshment of the young men sent
to that great institution supposedly to
enlarge their intelligence ard discipline
their minds? Shame upon the Chicago
University, and more shame upon the
faculty and Board of Governors who
permit the young men to make asses of
themselves. If the college youth of the

DECLARED
United States Court Of Appeals De-
clares That the Boycott is Not
a Legal Weapon.

ST LOUIS, Mo-, N ,vember IS -An
opinion has ben handed down in the
Uoited States circuit court Of appeals,
holding that the boycott is not a legal
weapon. The case in question is that
of the Oxley stave company Of Kansas
City vs. Fl. G. Hoskins and twelve
others, all members OF the Coopers'
union No. IL. Of Kansas City, and the
trades assembly of the same place.
Some Of them were employed in the
Oxley stave company.
In January, 1896, the stave company
placed In their plant machines to hoop
barrels. The defendants, after re-
questing the stave company to with
draw their machines, snd having their
request refused, caused a boycott.
The stave company went to the
United States district court and secured
an Injunction against the defendants,
e. s,riciing them from pushing the
boycott The defendants appealed TO
The United States circuit court of APP
peals, which now afirms the decision
Of the lower court.
Judges Sanborn and Thayer, in
doing so, said the defendants had no
light to form a cons tracy to deprive

may be organized for the purp ,se of
