Feb. 7— On reading in the daily Chronicle of the passage by the assem bly ol the bill debarring Japanese from attending the public schools of Caucasians, and foraing them into Beparate eohools, 1 oannot help mak ing comment; upon the situation. With me it has seemed like a dramatic farce. The war cry is nothing but the veriest balderdash of those behind the scenes. The cry is "Don't pass anything as laws of your land that oannot bo taken and digested by the little brown men, else you will con vulse the country with a war." If we ate to be dictated to by the policy of the Japanese embassy, hadn't we better invite them to oome over and make our laws for as. The Japanese when they come here oome to stay permanently. In convocation with a Japanese on board of a steamer com ing from Seattle to Han Francisco, 1 aaked him if he intended to return to Japan. "Mot to live," he replied, "1 intend to stay here." "Do your countrymen have the same inten tions"? They do," was his reply. 'Why?' "Because, " be replied wo can make more money hero and live better. The majority there have no show. It is only a pittance they get for their labor; they are slaves there, they are freemen here." Now this is the exact action of all Japanese in America. President Roosevelt has made a good president in some respects, lie has, and is now trying to be a dictator. If we are to be diotated to by the president in making our laws why not delegate him with supreme power, and let him turn the laws out to us through rotary improved. His presser, Grove L. Joiinson is patrotio, in his. endeavors. Mentally and forensically he is the peer of James N. uillett and Theodore Koosevelt. James N. Uillett was elected to execute the laws, or see that they, were executed, not to make them. He has no right to tamper with them, only he may put his veto on them if he does not like their tenor. It must be very embarrasiug to the legislature now conveued at the capitol, to be considered incompetent to make the laws they were sent there to make. lam not in . favor of war with Japan without cause, neither do 1 believe the Japs intend, or are fools enough to fight us. lam in favor of the dignity of this nation on the true basis of its actual standing. The alti tude of this government toward the Japanese, notwithstanding all this nice diplomacy, appears to be like the ittle boy that whs forced upon the top of a feuce post by an old hen with young chickens. After he was on the post bo shook his fist at the hen with the exclamation that he could whip any hen that ever sat." 1 consider it beneath the dignity of this nation to show the fear of war that they have apparently shown. Japan with her 40 million of people is virtually slapping the faoe of America, with close on to 100 millions. Now as regards to Koosevelt, not one of the illustrious men that have oooupied the place he now holds ever offered to diotate to v sovereign state. Now Johnson has said rightly that the Japanese are immoral and are not (It to associate with iiliildrmi of the Caucasian race. We have tut ill' laws for the protection of American Indus ty, yet we open the doors to sluves of the Orient, and allow them to oome and compete with our sous and daugh ters in a struggle for exißteuoe. Now, 1 am not in favor of seeing any class starve, yet 1 am still not in favor of allowing an association of slaves to oome mill commingle with those we are, as pareuts and patriots, obliged by all the rules ot love tor our kind to protect. The great howl is that the Japauese are liable to go to wai and pounce upon the Philippines and wrest tlium from us. The United States bought the islands audjif Japan covets them we must either, show the white feather like cowards or defend them like a tree and uutrammeled nation that we are and ought to be. Now, in my hurublo opinion there is more fear uf gettinu into a war over the Philippines with Germany, than with Japan Besides they would be more formidable. 1 was one of the those at the beginning of the Jupa uese-liussiau war to prediot that Kussla with all tior power would lie whipped by Japanese. 1 wus co cer tain of it that 1 wou a bottle of wine, which 1 did not drink, of one of my Business Changes. Humors of business ohangea have been life during tbe past week. It was reported that tbe two lending hotels— tbe National and Globe— were about to change hands. Also that tbe Well building was likely to be sold. It was eaid that S. Vicini and nn other from gutter Creek were think ing of takiing hold of the Globe hotel. That the Cbicbizola Estate was contemplating buying tbe Weil build, ing and starting a general store there. That D. B. Alasou and bis brother from Huisun were negotiating for the purobase of tbe National hotel, or rather of the interest of Mrs Voor beis therein. While all these reports no doubt had a basis of truth, tbe only one that baa eventuated in an actual sale is that concerning the National hotel. Mr'Masou, tbe pro prietor of. tbo lone Echo, was here several days during tbe tore part of tbe week, looking into the matter. Mrs Voorbeis has been anxious to sell tbe furniture, good will and lease of the premises. Tbe reality Is owned by the Bank of Amador county. Finally the deal was consummated and the new proprietor took charge Wednesday morning. Ho and his wife and family came up from lone Tuesday evening, to take up their abode in this city. Mr Mason is highly spoken of as a progressive business man. With able help he expects to look after tbe business in all its details. The Ledger welcomes the new proprietor, and there ia no doubt they will do well in tbeir new sphere. ■ The National enjoys tbe re putation of being tbe best holstery in tbe Mother Lode region, and the aim of tbe new owners will be to maintain the high standard it has ao long en joyed in the estimation of the travel ing publio. The facts about the reported sale of the Weil building are about as fol lows: T. J. Burrow, in behalf of some party or .parties in the back ground, made inquiries about tbe purchase of the property. The price given at first was considered reason able enough, v but , for aoruo reason, when the matter ''dame' to be closed, the parties could- not agree on the price, and so the deal fell through. Mr Weil thinks tbe sale may go through yet. That the Chicbizola Estate is behind tbe negotiation seems to be mere conjecture and gossi.p Birthday Surprise Party. A surprise party was given to C. D. Peek, driver of the Plymouth stage, on Monday evening, iv recognition of his birthday anniversary. A num ber of friends gathered at his borne on Peek hill, about twenty, and spent an hour or two pleasantly in games, musio, and partaking of refreshments, which the surprisers had provided for tbe occasiou. Rainfall. Rain fell on twenty-four days dur ing the mouth of January. For February, up to the 11th it has rained every day except three. The total for this month to date, in Jackson, is 5.20 inches, making a total for the season to date 27.46 inches. At the Kennedy mine tbe rainfall for tbe season up to Tuesday evening was 24.65 inches. Usually tbe precipita tion at tbe Kennedy mine is heavier than In Jackson, but this season tbe two places, only a mile apart, seem to be running nook aud neck. best friends. There are many wise Japaueso in the Mikedo's Kingdom that would be counselors of peace in opposition of the rabble of the lower classes, inoapable of summing up tho awtul results of attacking as formid able a nation as the United States. •Some people regard it aa almost sacrilege to comment unfavorably upon tbe president's course. 1 for our have but very little faith in thin diplomatic farce. If we allow Japa nese to come to this country without restriction we might as well go to sleep content over the situation, for they will get away from their uativo country as a traitor from an army. As to taking issue with the president, we have a right as free men to do so. the orowned head lv Europe is our tailed in his ambition by tbe people be rules, and is in n great measure held responsible to them. They ure not absolute. They tremble many times at tbe attitude of tbe populace. Koosevelt is not a monarch. lie is the president of a free people. (iiddy Dick.

On the Aviso ranch, a couple of miles east of this city, a peculiar malady has latelyjappeared among the horses. It is thought to be some form of poisoning, the exact nature of which is at present unknown. Two borfloa'of his band died from the disease last Tuesday, and the others are reported to be sick. Tbe animals become paralyzed, the symptoms be ing very similar to those in a case of ptomaine poisoning in a human be ing. Tbe attack quickly develops, and little can be done to relieve tbe sufferer. A post mortem examina tion by a surgeon failed to discover tbe exact oause of death. The con tents of tbe stomach of one of the victims may be sent to tbe oity 'for chemical analysis. So far tbe malady has not appeared elsewhere than on tbe ranch named. Farmers should be od the alert for the symptoms of any strange affection among their horses or cattle, aud report any thing they may notice in this direction. Reason Enthroned Because meats are so tasty they are consumed iv great exaeas. This leads to stomach troubles, biliousness and onstipation. Revise 'your diet, let reason and not a pampered appetite control, then take a few does of Chamberlain's stomach and liver tablets and you will soon be well again. Try it.

Argonaut.— A meeting of tbe stock holders of tbe Argonaut Mining Com pany is called for next Monday, for tbe purpose of electing a boaid of directors for tbe ensuing year, and suob other business as may properly come before tbe meeting. Much of tbe stook is held by eastern capital* ists. As the prospects of the mine are very bright, owing to tbe dis covery of good ore bodies in several places, tbe object in agitating for tbe election of directors is to insure settled conditions in connection with the management of the affairs of tbe company. Mr Rainstord in tbe general management has made a most satisfatory record, tie has out down expenses, at tbe same time brought tbe property to such a point that the outlook for a prolonged- period of dividends is as satisfactory to-day as at any period in it past history.
