McNAB FOR CONGRESS.

HE possession of political power IS often sand
 to turn the heads Of those who attempt to exer- else 1t. We can place other construction upon the announcement that MT Gavin McNab in tends to run himself for Congress in the Fourth Dis trct than that the success which has attended his bossshp so far has affected his brain Not but that Mir McNab would make an excellent Congressman Indeed there is every believe that the else of his peculiar talents upon the House of Repre- sentatves would confer upon California the distinc ton of possessing Congressman even greater than Magure-if such thing is possible.
 But we cannot understand why the whispering boss should desire descend from the proud pedestal of Democratic dictator in San Francisco to the hum- ating position of submitting himself to the people What right have the people pass upon the political claims of MT. McNab long as those claims are conceded by McNab himself? The voluntary abd- cation of power which his candidature for Congress will entail is the most extraordinary Of self abnegation on record. The first Napoeons resigna- ton of the French Fontainebleau is not at all comparable to 1t.
 However 1t will be well to encourage MT. Me Nab's ambition There in the Fourth Congress sonal District upward of 3oooo voters. We venture to say that o5 per cent of them anxious to see McNab's upon the official ballot. The source of this desire we shall not attempt to fathom. Whether the voters of this district desire to elect McNab by majority which will go laundering down the ages, or whether they are curious to see exactly how the whispering boss would look ap- pealing to them for support, do not know. But to the yearning speak advsedly In fact will increase the percentage We will assert con- hdently that out of the 3oooo voters in the Fourth District at least $500 are frantcay anxious for NeNab to We think that under the circum- staaces he ought to run notwithstanding he may be compelled to renquish some of his prerogatives as dictator of this city. It is seldom that the public is unanimous in its desire to get a chance at 
 Hence trust he will be successful in packing the State convention delegation It is not often that we to justify hgh-handed political methods such as Mir McNab now proposes in his Congressional fight, but if the end justified the in any case it will in this By all means let the Democratic State delegation be packed in the interest of McNab

If the police detailed to watch China town cannot catch the Chinese offend CTS, at least they could do much for the moral betterment of the city by arrest ing each other and filling the Chiefs celebrated tanks with brutal bluecoats. ] am led to this conclusion by a circum- stance similar to others heretofore mentioned. Friday a policeman was observed beating Chinaman oyer the head with club, and a passing citizen made bold to ask the reason. He was informed that the victim was the lookout for a gambling establish ment, and that in case of an attempted raid he would give an alarm Then, ,'' inquired the citizen. why do you not arrest him?' This seems to me to have been a permissible question, but it struck the clubber otherwise.

 It seems that the ministers who once affiliated with the remarkable Edwards Davis have resolved that he can't play in their pulpits any more until he shall have manifested a desire to reform This is all right so far as 1t goes. They should have said, however, that he must do something more than put on exhibition a desire towards reform. He ought to be made to go to the extreme of reforming.
 I believe that St. Louis is regarded as center of civilization of the Mis- souri brand, and accordingly scan its papers with interest. Recently there was recorded in one of these the death of a colored woman who had been not able for fatness. "She was" remarks the luminous writer who sets forth the somber facts, "the largest corpse ever dressed in St. Louis.'' Now there is a specimen of the realistic, showing what a reporter can be trained to do. My Judgment, however, would be that he devote his talents mostly to slaugh- ter-house soirees.
 When Horace Philbrook attacks the Supreme Court as a set of knaves and scoundrels, his allegations show only that when he was disbarred an act of justice was accomplished.

Danylle Register.
Surely our contemporary cannot re-
member the abuses that occurred under
this law when it was in force in Nir-
ginia. As a general proposition we
agree that the. man who is able, but VIII
not pay his poll tax is unworthy Of the
right to vote; and il tho proposed law
would stimulate voters TO pay this tax
Il would have much 70 commend IT. But
in practice the law was worse than
failure So far from holding out in
ducements TO pay, with many voters 1t
had the opposite effect, for the voter
soon learned that If he did not pay his
head tax. some body else would pay it
for him and so was engendered and fos-
tered quasi bribery system that was
in the extreme demoralizing. The con-
temptible thing abolished itself and We
hone that it will never be revived in
Virginia.
