THE oiimm: bill sm.\li>.
The President has at last condescend
ed to respect the will of the masses of
the people as expressed by their repre
sentatives in Congress, by signing the
Page bill to restrict Chinese immigra
tion. Yesterday he put his name t«
the bill, which now makes it a law of
the land, though he did not notify Con
gress of the act. It is understood -that
the delay is owing to the fact that the
President will submit a message for
consideration at to-days Cabinet meet
ing showing that the fourteenth section
of the bill, which prohibits the natural
ization of Chinese, and the fifteenth
section, which defines skilled laborers,
are not obnoxious to Eastern manufac
turers and sentimentalists.
Now let us hang our banners on the
outer walls and feel grateful that Ar
thur has swallowed his own words, re
futed his own arguments and, in obedi
ence to the wishes of the Pacific Coast
and the working classes in all the
States, signed a bill which is certain to
restrict Chinese immigration to some
extent. Though the bill does not take
effect for ninety days, and though
thousands of Chinese now in Hong
Kong will come to this coast meantime,
it will stop after that date the wholesale
importation of coolies, and encourage
white men and women to come to tins
Pacific Coast and engage in the vari
ous pursuits now monopolized by Chi
nese.
MEXATOR FAIR OX TOE (HIXESE.
The Washington correspondent of
the Chicago Tribune interviewed Sena
tor Fair, and after premising his re
marks with the information that the
tpillionaire representative of the far
West is above all others the easiest ap
proached, quotes him as saying:
‘‘I am very largely interested in Cal
ifornia and Nevada, and have never
employed Chinese as against white la
borers. One of the objections to the
Chinese is, they work for such small
wages that white girls and servants
■can not make an honest living. It ap
pears that the Chinese take every pos
sible source of labor from them.
While this applies particularly to Cali
fornia, it is equally true of Nevada.
They have their opium dens and sell
-opium and smoke it, and when appre
hended as criminals escape to their
underground dens, which extend to
mammoth proportions, and can not be
found. Their employment by me as
laborers would be a great saving, but I
do not employ them, and am in for the
removal of the curse and competition.
They come to California under the aus
pices and servitude of the Six Compan
ies, and every year they send home
#40,000,000 to |4.»,000,000 to their peo
ple, and were it not that Cab'ornia is
blessed with plenty and possesses suult
large resources, she could not stand

live among them, and many wealthy
citizens have removed from the State
and have taken millions of dollars of
capital out of it with them. 1 may
have an elegant block of buildings in
their quarter, but I can not rent or hire
it. They leave a filth and stench that
no human white cau bear. I would
like any one to bIiow me the fantasti
cally -dressed, Ambassador-looking indi
vidual iu California that you see here as
their representatives. There they are
pig-tailed ami woodeu-shoed. Senator
Hoar, in defending them, is serviug
certain manufacturing interests as
against your own white boys and girls.”
IW»« NIHILIST*.
Nihilism is as rampant in Ireland as
in Russia, and assassiuatious are as rife
in Dublin as in St Petersburg. Satur
day evening Lord Cavendish, who was
last week appointed to succeed Forster,
and Under-Secretary Burke, were way
laid, and assassinated in Pbumi* Park,
vihitker they had gone for a walk.
Lord Cavendish had only arrived iu
Ireland a few hours* before he was as
sassinated. It doubtless was the act of
insane conspirators, but it remains for
Parnell and the Laud League to dis
claim by words and prove by deeds that
that they do not countenance such
atrocities or sympathize with those who
perpetrate then,. Lord Cuveudiah was
cue of the most moderate of Liberals,
and his death was as wanton and unde
ftfred » that of our ova Garfield.
b
THE MACHINE I* ST WHET.
The Virginia Footlight says the meet
ing of the Democratic Central Commit
tee of Storey county, heretofore referred
to in these columns, was not called in
the interest of any particular person ir.
! Storey. While such may be the fact,
' it looks badly to have a County Central
j Committee meet and arrange for tilling
! vacancies aud getting things in <wder
I for the approaching campaign before
the State Central Committee apportions
delegates to or determines when and
where the State Convention shall be
held. The machine politicians of Sto
rey county may control the State Con
vention, but they must do so by fair
| means if they hope to elect their candi
j date for Governor. They must be
: made to understand that unless the
action of the convention is such as to
merit the approbation of the entire :
party, it is immaterial who controls
it aud who it may nominate.
TELEI.KAHaif ITEM*.
Considerable excitement has been oc
casioned at Yauktowu, Dakota, over
the arrest of John D. Cameron, for al
leged connection with the Louisiana
aud New Mexico land scrip frauds. 1
The United States Land Office there !
holds $0,000 in New Mexico scrip
which the officers detected before re- \
ceiving it in payment lor lands. Une
banking firm, McKinney k Scougal, has
$.-»,000 in Louisiana scrip which they
received from Burt k Miller, of St. |
Louis. The United States Court is
nowin session and the Grand Jury is
investigating the fraud.
No additional particulars concerning
fe'ae fate of DeLong and party have been
received. The Nary Department of
ficials have little or no hope of tlie res
cue of the Chipp’s party. Engineer
Melville, in his last dispatch to the
Department, said he had no doubt they
had all ]»erished, but he would use
every effort to recover their bodies.
The general impression is that Chipp’s
bsat capsized in the gale that separated
the three boats, and that all bands
were drowned.
The ceremony of the opening of Ep
ping forest to the full use of the public
took place Saturday afternoon. A for
mal dedication was made by Her
Majesty the Queen. It is estimated
that half a million persons were pres
ent in the forest and along the route of
the royal procession.
During the next six months fourteen
men-of-war, capable of carrying 800
troops each, will be stationed at Rus
sian ports in the Pacific.
Michael Davitt has been released
from Portland (England) prison.

Karke subbed tu Death.
Lord Frederick Cavendish, who was
appointed Chief Secretary for Ireland
to succeed Forster, and Thomas Havi
land Burke, Under Secretary, were
assassinated in Phoenix Park, near Dub
lin, Saturday last. They were both
strolling in the park, about one-half
mile from the city gate and a quarter
of a mile from the Chief Secretary’s
lodge, when a car drove up w hich con
tained four men, two of whom jumped
down from the car, and attacking Lord
Frederick Cavendish and Mr. Burke,
stabbed them both several times in the
throat and breast. The victims strug
gled hard for life, and in the struggle
became separated, their bodies being
found some ten i*aces apart. The trag
edy occurred about 7:10 o’clock in the
evening and in broad daylight.
THE BODIES WKKK FIRST DISCOVERED
By two young gentlemen who were rid
ing bicycles through the park, and who
immediately gave the alarm to the po
lice. Surgeons soon reached the spot,
hut the police were already conveying
Burke’s body away to the town, where
examination showed life was extinct.
The upper part of the body was per
forated shockingly, and presented a
ghastly sight. Proceeding farther the
surgeons reached the body of Caven
dish, which was being conveyed away
from the park on a stretcher. The
body of the Chief Secretary displayed
the same dreadful wounds, in addition
to whiuh the left arm was broken and
the sleeve torn, as if he had put it up
to protect his breast.
LORD CAVENDISH WAS QUITE DEAD.
The bodies were taken to Stevens’
Hospital, where they will remain until
'the inquest. The locality of the out
rage is terribly marked with blood.
•Tire *pot where the body of Lord Cav
endish was found was absolutely de
luged, while Burke’s body lay in a pool
of blood. It is said that after the act,
the murderers immediately drove off.
There seems no clew to the assassins at
present, but the police are using every
•endeavor to discover them. Large
quantities of notes and gold coin, be
sides their gold watches, were found in
the pockets of the victims, showing tfie
object of the crime w as not robbery.
GEE AT EXCITEMENT JfltEVAILS
Throughout Dublin, and widespread in
dignation is expressed. Owing to the
lateness of the hour of the arrival of
the news in London, nothing of the out
rage was known among the general pub
lic until Sunday. At the London clubs
and other late West Knd resorts, the
news of the assassination was received
with feelings of stupefaction, followed
by expressions of bitterest resentment.
The news of the signing of the Chi
nese hill created some little enthusiasm
in California. One hundred guns were
fired in San Francisco, and salutes were
tired iu some of the interior towns, hut
rejoicing was tame compared to w hat it
would have been had the first hill
passed by Congress l>een signed.
Advertising A'beat*.
It has become so common to write
the beginning of an elegant, interesting
article and then run it into some adver
tisement, that we avoid all such cheats,
and simply call attention to the merits
of Hop Bitters in as plain, holiest terms
as possible, to induce people to give
them one trial, as no one who knows
their value will ever use anything else.
