REGISTRATION of voters drags
slowly. The citizens have not
warmed up to their political work
yet. There is no doubt, however,
that more interest will be taken in
the coming campaign for local Of
fcers than has been known for many
years. Amador county needs a
change. This is not saying any
thing specially derogatory to the
party in power. 1t has been repeat
edly demonstrated by experience
that when party has been con-
tinued in power in local affairs for
long period, it becomes arrogant and
domineering. Cliques are formed
for the purpose of controlling the
politics and dispensing the official
pap. The nabobs in Office are apt to
imagine they own the county as far
as the distribution of favors is con-
cerned, Schemes are concocted
having for their object the continu-
ance of themselves in their comfort
able berths. Now, when matters
reach such a state-when men
elected to positions of public trust,
begin to think they are greater than
the power that elected them-it is
abou time to disabuse their minds
OF tneir hifalutin notions. Next
fall the people will call back the
authority they have temporarily de-
gated to their servants They will
demand an account of their steward
ship. And if the taxpayers are
alive to their own interests there
will be a lively shaking up of the
dry bones of democracy. The reign
of cliquism will be relegated into
''innocuous dissuetude" for the time
being at least, by the introduction
of new blood.

WE are IN receipt OF a circular
from the headquarters of the Trans
vaal League of California requesting
US to circulate petition to be pre-
sented to congress in behalf of the
Boer cause, with the object of Sc
curing the passage of a resolution
by congress expressive of its SYM
pathy for that side of the South
African trouble. We are perfectly
aware that the majority of the
American people are in sympathy
with the Boer cause. As individuals
they have a right to sympathize
with whichever side they believe to
be right. But they are carrying
their individual sympathies al
together too far when they ask the
government of the United States to
take sides in the quarrel. 1t is not
the province of the United States
to interfere with the troubles of
other nations. We would resent
any interference-even in the shape
of a simple resolution of sympathy
on the part of any foreign nation
with the Fillipinos in their struggle
for what they term independence.
The United States has enough to do
to attend strictly to its own busi-
ness. We have enough troubles of
our own, without mixing up in those
of other warning nations. Let the
democrats, if they please, in their
desperation for living issue upon
which to hang their hopes of sue
cess, take up the Boer fight. Any
thing to distract and annoy the ad-
ministration is their motto. The
government of the United States is
not in the hands of incompetents.
It cannot afford to indorse the
policy-contrary to all traditions of
the past-that it is the business of
this nation to take part in every
squabble that may arise in any
quarter Of the world

FEAST OF ST STEPHEN.
Hunting the Wren is the Sport in Many
 Parts of Europe.

HdrIS Ol Europe.
 This is the feast of St Stephen, a day of much amusement in some parts of the world, notably in Ireland. where the young people spend good portion of the day hunting the wren, kne of the diminutive warblers of that country which seems to scent danger on St Stephens day and manages to give the llaunts of man a wide berth, although it is a friendly little fellow during the rest of the year and usual ly builds it's nest and raises it's young in the lledgerows and other places. where it can almost be seen from the highway. One of the enchanting charms of the Irish landscape is the music abounding in it, the almost un- teasing singing of it's many feathered song birds, and to give the wren it's due it cannot be denied that it's voice is among the sweetest in the woodland choir and is frequently heard when all the others, with the possible exception of the robin. are silent. But the wren's ability as singer nor his good behavior in other ways counts for nothing on St Stephens day and al though it has a way of its own for
 getting into hiding places the boys get onto it all the same and large numbers of them are killed and carried from door to door where an appropriate song is rendered ending with chorus
 which is nothing short of a polite in
 yifation to s'set lem up"

 Skates and Broke Through Ice.

Skates and Broke Through Ice.
 East Hampton, Dec 26.-Claude Ry- an, IT years old, nephew of Mrs Elmer Darling, while skating on Bevin Brothers pond yesterday morning broke through the ice and was drown ed. Harold Anderson, son of Frank Anderson, night watchman at Beyin Brothers Manufacturing Go, happened to be on the shore and gave the alarm. A boat was quickly pulled across the ice by o. G. Bevin and son. Marshal, Charles Cavanaugh and Watchman Anderson. Marshal Beyin recovered the body, which stood upright in about eight feet of water and only about a foot and a half from the top. Heroic efforts were made at resuscitatfon and were continued for about half an hour after the arrival of Dr Albert Field, but life was extinct. It is Judged that the boy -s=as in the water about fifteen minutes. His watch stopped at 9:15. The lads home was in Lon donderry, Acadia Mines, Nova Scotia. He accompanied his aunt here upon her return home from visit last Septem- Der and since then had worked for Bevin Brothers Manufacturing Co., 0. G. and Avery Bevin speak of the boy in the highest terms and as faithful lemploye. He leaves his parents, MT and Mrs w. J. Ryan, two sisters and one brother in Nova Scotia The father was telegraphed to shortly after the body was removed to the home of Mir and Mrs Darling.
 As a Christmas gift Mir Darling had presented to the boy pair of new skates and Ryan was anxious to try them. MT Darling warned him against going on the ice on account of the snow's hiding the bad places, but he persisted, saying that he would skate lonly about the edges. The place where he broke. through was directly over the channel and the only place lin the pond where he could have gone through. Being a comparative stranger he was not aware of the danger.

AT ST PATRlCK's YESTERDAY,
The Rev James Derwin Celebrated
 the 10s45 Mass.


 The Rev Father James Derwin of this city, who was ordained to the holy priesthood at St James's cathedral in Montreal on last Saturday morning, celebrated mass at St Pat rick's church yesterday morning at 10:45. A very large congregation was present, the church being filled with relatives and friends of the young priest from all parts of the city. Of unusual solemnity and impressiveness were the services. A solemn high mass was celebrated, the following being the officers: Celebrant, Rev Father Der win; deacon, Rev Father Sullivan; sub- qeacon, Rev Father Jordan; assistant 1r1est, Rev Father Gleeson; master of ceremonies, Frank Johnson; thurifer, Charles Kane; acolytes, Timothy Nc Carthy, Frank Smith. The music was or an elaborate nature, the mass being sung by both the boys and senior choirs. Mrs Gibson presided at the organ and Miss Margaret McNamara accompanied on the piano.
 The Rev Father Sullivan delivered an eloquent and most appropriate ser mon on ''The Dignity of the Priest hood" He spoke highly of the newly ordained priest and referred to the dig nfty conferred upon him through the priesthood, and of the pride which his family should have in knowing that he had been called to do such a noble work. True, many trials and difficult ties stand in the path of the young priest, but with the help of his Master s grace and mercy he would be able to triumph over all of them. Father Su1- liyan was in excellent voice and his sermon was an eloquent tribute to the 1 young priest.
 After the mass nearly the entire con gregation waited to receive the bless l ing from the Rev Father Derwin. Tn { the evening at 7:30 solemn high vespers were sung, the officers being the same as those of the mass in the morning. "A large congregation was present.

IMPORT THE NEGRO.
Will Solve Difficulties in Hawaii and i Other U. s. Tropical Possessions.

Other U. $. Tropical Possessions.
 Honolulu, Dec IF, via San Francisco, Dec 26.-Thomas Fortune, special labor commissioner appointed by Secretary Shaw to visit the Philippines and Ha- waiian islands, is here. In an inter- view he said:
 sI believe that the importation Of negroes here form a natural solution of the difficulty which unavoidably fol lows the absorption of tropical or semi tropical countries by the United States. In the southern states and in the Caro- linas the negro made the industries what they are.'' s. .~---@ --
 The commissioner said that there might be difficulty in detaining the ne gro here. but he thought that the plant CTS could get all they wanted if they sent the right sort of agents after them. seYou could get 10000 here in six months" he said.
 In view of the news from Washing ton that the senate gave a hostile re- eeption to the plan for allowing Chi nese to enter Hawaii as laborers. the views of Commissioner Fortune have attracted much attention here. Hawaii is in need of more labor. The AIer- chants association, backed by the Builders and Traders exchange and ether similar organizations, is prepar- ing to make fight in support of the plan offered by the plantation men to secure legislation from Congress al- lowing the importation of Chinese la borers for plantation work only, under certain restrictions. Local labor unions have decided against the propo- sition and will oppose the plan. It is understood that the matter will be the subject of recommendation for the coming report of the commission which Recently visited Hawaii. -
