FAcE-ABOUT DEMOCRACY.

The action of the democratic
national convention in trying to
straddle both sides of question has
its counterpart in almost every sec
ton. If the represen tations of the
party from every state in the union
tried to fix up an elastic platform
upon which gold standard and free
silver men could stand, and be at
ease, it might be expected that the
learned opponents of a party with
out settled principles would be able
to follow suit. "Anything to catch
vote" is emblazoned on the banner
of democracy this campaign. A
signal illustration of this oceauward
drift is afforded by the last issue of
the Amsdor Dispatch. The sheet
seems to be farmed out editorially
so as to catch at everything and
hold on to nothing. Last week one
page contained an account of the
waylaying of Willis, an employe of
the Fremont, by brace of thugs
belonging to the Amador miners
union. The article condemned the
outrage, and hoped the perpetra-
tors would be arrested and punish
ed. All very good. Another page
of the same issue faced in an oppo-
site direction. A column headed
''Union Notes" is evidently turned
over to the tender mercies of union
leaders. 1t says the Hodson mine
in Calaveras county has closed down
because non union men were incom-
petent to do the work, and rioting
and drunkenness prevailed, necess-
itating a shut down. 1t seems to
revel with delight in stating that
Nevills' employees, non union, have
been detected stealing ore from the
mine. 1t calls the efforts of the
military and civil authorities to
stamp out violence in Colorado,
'anarchistic measures; also that
the strike at the Jumper and Golden
Rule mines in Sonora has been de
clared off, conveying the idea that
the union had Won The fact is.
these mines are on the open shop
principle, and notices to that effect
are posted at the works. Neither
union nor non-union men are dis
eliminated against. We congratu-
late our cotemporary on the faculty
with which it can face in both direc-
tions at the same time.

Miscellaneous.

Willie Arendt, of jamestown, had a
needle removed from his knee at the
Lane hospital last week.
Crittenden, y ho won the Oxford
scholarship, was recently arrested in
Milpitas on suspicion of having stolen
a wheel. He proved his identity and
was allowed to go.
In Stanislaus county last year each
high school pupil cost the county
$75. "A.
Congressman Bell claims that the
United States government now owes
the state of California $1,000, 900 on
sale OF public lands about the year 1850.
The money if paid will 90 into the
school fund.
In Passaic, New Jersey, last week
some miscreant put poison in the milk
being delivered to the citizens of the
town. $50 persons were slightly
poisoned.
A. V, Nagle, who was recently en-
ployed at the Rawhide mine, was
brutally beaten at Stent quite recently.
He has identified one of his assaiIants.
James Cowan, of Bakersfield, con-
vlcted of manslaughter for having

CHEAP JOHNISM.

Our cotemporary has made the
discovery that Main street, Jack
son, can be oiled two coats the en-
tire length of the business portion
for $72. D. Mccall, who is au
authority on such matters, says he
will do the work for that sum-
Therefore the Dispatch wants the
business men to put up the sum and
thereby settle both the street and
dust problems at one scoop. The
plan is to oil Is feet of roadway
dump the stuff on the street, Just as
it now is, full of depressions, and
without any cutters worth speaking
of The street varies in width from
10 to IS feet, so that a strip OF 16
feet in the center would average less
than one third of the roadway. The
other two thirds, according to the
author of this treatise on Road
Making - A cheap and easy solu-
ton, would instantly stand on its
dignity, and refuse to become dusty.
The stores would be rid of both the
dust and mud nuisances at one fell
lick. What desirable change, and
all for the paltry sum of $72. The
truth is, the scheme is too ''cheaI
and nasty to beguile any one. II
any one has any faith in such peanut
business let him go to work in front
of his own premises, and demon
strate the feasibility of the ''16 in sc
process. D." Tackle so feet as sam
pie, and see how the $72 hold out. Dc
it well, as it ought to be done, and
its dollars to cents there will be
nothing left when the sample is
finished. There has been too much
of this wastefUl experimental non
sense. We have wasted $1,000 tC
take in the entire lone road with
the water sprinkling system. We
are now trying what we believe will
prove an equally disastrous venture
as far as road making is concerned,
of spending over $4,000 in pouring
oil over the troublesome waterway.
If section had been selected for ex-
perimental purposes, to test what
could be done with an adequate and
judicious use of oil on a prepared
roadbed, the experiment would have
been useful as a guide to future
operations. We would like to know
under what law this work is being
done. Where is the authority to
spend so much money on road i'm
provement without calling for bids.

UNIONISM AND CRIME.

The brutal example of thugism
that occurred at Amador City last
week, whereby VIM. Willis, in the
peaceful pursuit of his avocation to
earn living for himself and family
at the Fremont mine, was waylaid
and beaten, and by the persuasive
power of gun ordered to leave his
employment and get out of the coun-
ty, is still leading topic of dis
cussion throughout the county. This
is the initial act of violence, since the
organization of the Western Fedora
tion of Miners in this county, where
in members of that body have plainly
intimated by word and deed that a
man shall not be permitted to work
at the mines except under conditions
dictated by the labor unions. True,
the assailants in this particular in
stance were careful to impress upon
their victim that the union had
nothing to do with the high handed
proceeding; that they assumed the
entire responsibility therefor. This
attempt at eXculpation must be
weighed in connection with subse.
quent events, and when so viewed
must be regarded with suspicion.
As things have turned out the feel
ing is strongly entertained that the
outrage was committed under the
belief that the perpetrators would
be screened and protected by the
union element, individually and col
lectively. No doubt the members
will protest against this view They
will loudly proclaim their innocence
They could hardly do otherwise
Some there are, in all probability
who sincerely desire the supremacy
of law and order; who iuwardly anG
secretly deprecate a recourse tc
violence in any form as inimical tC
the welfare of unionism. They are
far-seeing enough to know that labor
unionism must be conducted along
legal and peaceful lines; that d
policy Of violence means their own
undoing. Nothing has transpired
in the Amador case to show that
these conservative men are in con
troll; on the contrary, they are evi-
dently in the background; overawed
by the aiders and abettors of thug
ism, whether before or after the fact
it matters not.
Now for the facts to substantiate
this indictment. The assailants of
Willis are known. There is nc
question about the identity of these
men. That they are members of
Amador Union is also an admitted
fact. That they performed their
valiant act in the interest of union
