DEATH or DENNIS KEAnNEY.

The announcement OF the death Of
Dennis Kearney, the once noted sand
Lot Orator" Of San Francisco, brings
a dim, dry-as-dust, far-away memory
Of agitations as seemingly dangerous as
this later one of Haywood oyer-Petti-
bone. It comes as surprise to nearly
everyone, for they had supposed that,
like the rest of his class, he had rapidly
succumbed to whisky and other vices as
soon as he lost his grip. Kearney did
not represent the skilled mechanics and
farmers or other immigrants of fair
education who flock to our shores. 1t
is true he was sailor of somewhat
more than ordinary competence, but
could scarcely more than read and
write, and he had none Of that rough
humor and sharp common sense which
make the speeches of many compare
lively illiterate men quite attractive. His
leading characteristics were bitter ha-
tired of everyone who had property and
inflammatory energy in making war
upon them. He hated the thrifty, prov
ident middle class worse than he did
the very rich, for he felt that they were
putting on airs over the class from
which they sprang. He represented a
class who. IL they were getting 81 & day,
felt that the man who was getting 81 a
day was robbing them of part of their
wages. He, was the spokesman of a
class of foreigners that look upon this
country very much like the pigs in the
road look upon other pigs inside rich
clover field. They think the fair pas
ture belongs to them more than to the
favored pigs In it, and set up no end
of clamor to get in and drive the others
out. Then they will turn to fight among
themselves. Several times Kearney led
his roustabout followers to pillage the
houses of the well-to-do classes, but
was beaten off without much trouble,
for his courage was not equal to his
and once he spent term
in prison for this offenSe.
The only bond of union between
Kearney and the better class of work
ingmen was that he voiced very vehe-
IneHtly the oppoSitiou VI HedtiS Tax
whole coast to the ''moon-eyed lepers
of Chinese, and this gave his sand-IetI
oratory strength and effect it other
wise would not have had. He strove
hard to get political control of San
and partially succeeded, but
those who came in upon that wave
speedily showed up as badly as Mayor
Schmitz and Abe Ruef have done, and
drove decent-mined workingmen away
from the party.

The Chinese missionaries call those
mary motives "Rice Christians" There
are 90 to 40 per cent of these. The
missionaries are doing better and more
successful work than they have ever
done. The Chinese say that the mis-
sionaries have made more impression
in the last 10 years than in the previous
80. The medical and educational
branches are especially praised. The
Chinese, even of the highest classes. are
grossly ignorant of very common things.

of disease. Thus the missionaries have

There are others just as bad as we
are. De Mauchamp, who was murdered

THE WAY OF THE MILLIONAIRE IS
HARD.

In spite of our screaming friends of
the yellows. the millionaires seem to
have ways as hard as the Biblical as
sertion as to tine road of the transgres-
scr. Last week three millionaires COM
mitted suicide in utter disgust of life
and the rewards and pleasures which 1t
had to offer them. At the same time
came stories that another man, who
only few years ago was held up as a
distinct menace to the country--a man
who has had more written in denuncia-
ton of him than even Hartman or
Rockefeller, was living in such dire
poverty that he could afford nothing
more to eat than crackers and milk:
that he could not even pay his pettiest
bills. and that the miserable lodging in
Heboken in which he has concealed
himself had been discovered, and his
doors were daily haunted by ConstabIes
and process servers. This is probably
the most remarkable drama of all. For
years j. Edward Addicks was a formid-
Senate, and so potent in his machina-
tons as to keep one Of the Delaware
seats vacant. He was hardly strong
enough to be elected, but yet strong
enough to prevent anyone else being
The superheated Thomas Lawson, in
voted many pages and then many more
to the description of ]. Edward Addicks
as the arch-demon in the world of un-
Iscrupulous and highway-robbery fin
ance. According to Mr.. Lawson, and
he was slavishly followed by the Shrek
man ever breathed who had such devil
ish cunning, such cold, INSCRIPTIONS,
unrelenting malice, such inordinate
greed as ]. Edward Addicks. Wherever
he had gone he had bought up and de-
moralized Municipal Councils and Leg
islatures, corrupted pubic officials, re-
morseIessiy squeezed and plundered in
dividuals and filed his own pockets to
bursting with piunderings. Now it
seems that all these marvellous qualities
of will and intellect are not sufficient to-
get him as much of the comforts of life
as are enjoyed by the ordinary faborer
upon the streets. At one time he lived
with more sumptuous ostentation than
probably any other man In the United
States. Nothing In the way of hotels
or restaurants was too good for his
board and lodging. He had private
trains to go whittier he wisht, steam
yachts and all the appurtenances Of
princely aff1uence. II is said that he
expended 100000 in his long pursuit
of a seat in the Senate, and tho court
to-day pronounces him 100000 worse
than nothing.
He some time ago disappeared from
public view, and 1t was only after al
long search by the men who thought
that they could squeeze something more
out Of him that he was found In q mean
room In an obscure part Of Hoboken
living On the barest amount that would
support life and absolutely destitute OF
common comforts. As soon as his hid

Saving the Murderers.

Governor Hanly has committed the
sentence of the Greek murderer, Con-
stantine Stratocopulus. to Imprisonment
for life. Also the sentence Of John
Lapidat, the Roumanian murderer
Three times within five weeks Gov
ernor Hanly has set aside the sentences
of convicted murderers. The gov
ernor certainly is making a record for
the saving Of the necks of the SEN
fenced manslayers. We are not going
TO say that he has stretched his au-
thority in these cases, but it Is unfor-
tunate that the impression prevails
that the governor preserves these men
from the halter because Of his aversion
to capital punishment. We are sure
that the pronounced views Of the pres
ent executive on the subject have not
lessened the number Of murderers in
this state within the last two years.
And, God knows, the toll Of human life
taken by homicide in the state of In
diana is something frightful to con-
template. In one year there We're eight
murders in Greene county. Many of
the murders in the state, however,
most of them in fact have been COM
mitted by what we may f1ttingly de-
scribe as the alien population; negroes
engaged in construction work along
railroad lines, and Greeks, Roumanians
and Italians, who come to this country
with their peculiar notions about the
privilege of every man to wreak Ven
geance without regard to the law
