THE TRANSCRIPT.
TMONDAY......+,March 25, 1901]
—San Francisco’s Shame.
Six rescued Chinese slave girls. now
cared for by the Presbyterian mission
in San Francisco, testified before the
Grand Jury Friday as to the circum-stances of their former bondage, treatment and final rescue. Thisis America, says the Indedependent. This is the
land wherein not a voice is bold enough
to decry Jefferson, who wrote that all
men are created free and equal. This is
the land that cherishes as sacred the
name of Lincoln because he emancipated four million slaves. This is the
republic which by a vote of two-thirds
of its national Congress and threefourths of the State Legislature engrafted a provision in its fundamental
law, prohibiting involuntary servitude,
except as a punishment for crime.
And yet in one of the chief cities of
the republic, a grand jury listens to the
evidence of girls held in bondage, hears
them tell of the connivance of the police to per petuate that bondage and of
the danger of exposing themselves
where their former masters or the
American (?) police can secure possesion of their persons. What a shame!
What a farce of free goverment! What
8 crime against civilization! What an
insult to the republic and to Christendom! The Chinese slave owners from
whom the girls were rescued are the
same with whom Mayor Phelan and
Ohief Sullivan contemplated an unlawful agreement licensing their gambling
crimes and making them yield a revenue to the city government. What is
the duty of civilization, of organized
society in such an emergency? What
is the name of that indifference that
tolerates slavery at our very doors,
known of ali men?
What About Nevada City?
We copy the following from the Appeal of Sunday in relation: to celebrating on the 4th of July. We copy it to
show what our neighbors down there
are doing with, the hope that the same
enthusiasm would be catching to some
. of our people and steps taken immediately to have a rousing celebration in
Nevada City on the 4th of July:
Marysville will celebrate the Fourth
of July this year in proper shape all
right. The meeting of citizens held at
City Hall Friday night enthusiastically
agreed that the old town would make
the eagle scream, the cracker burst and
the rocket sizz. There was a large attendance on hand and after a thorough discussion of the proposition, a
committee to solicit subscriptions and
size up -the situation was appointed
under instrustions to report a week
from Tuesday next. This committee
will make an all around canvass; it. will
call upon every “available” man and
women in the town and request a suitable contribution. It is estimated
that $2000 will be required to “do up”
the celebration in proper style. This
is not a large amount for such a pur-.
pose and should be subscribed and collected without difficulty. Let every
citizen who may be called upon respond according to his means and the
thing is done.
Now that it has been decided to hold
this celebration the enterprise should
receive the cordial support of the people
not only in a financial sense but in
every other possible way. There will
be a lot of hard work to do, and because the chief responsibility necessaily must be assumed by a few public
Spirited citizens the rank and_ file
should not consider themselves &sbsolved from any obligation to render
whatever assistance may lie in their
power. Let us all join hands and do
what we can to help matters along.
That’s the way to succeed. In union
is strength. The celebration is for the
people and the good of the town. Let
everything that may be planned for
“The Fourth” be made subservient to
this idea.
Could Not Find Them.
Deputy United States Marshal Moffit arrived here. yesterday to make an
investigation in relation to counterfeiters said to be in this vicinity.

Rheumatism
Rheumatic pains are the cries of protest
and distress from tortured muscles, aching
joints and excited nerves. ‘The blood has

25—A terrible cyclone swept
over this city this morning.
An immense amount of
damage has been done to
property, and there has been
great loss of life.
It is impossible at this time
to state how many people
have been killed here and in
nearby towns,
Up to this time fifteen bodies have been recovered,
A Good Superintendent.
A gentleman who has just returned
from the State of Nevada says that
M. M. Baruh, who is. superintending
the development of a sulphur mine in
Humboldt county, Nevada, is makiug
an enviable record -for himself. Several parties who have undertaken the
work of running this mine successfully bave failed and given it up, but
uader Mr. Baruh’s management it is
developing into a good paying property.
“A Good Copper Mine.
John Austin of Spenceville states
that the Jackson mine of that district
is proving to be a splendid-paying
propsrty. An Eastern company has
bonded the claim and are greatly encouraged. by .the returns of the ore,
which yields over 25 per cent. pure
copper.
The “601” On Another Raid.
Republican: ‘The “601” was out
again last night. It appeared in
stronger form even than on the previous occasion. It was marked by the
same business-like valmness and quietness of the evening before, and was
evidently out for the purpose of seeing if its former warnings had been
properly heeded. Armed, masked and
marching as before they appeared on
Jibboom street. The houses in the
tenderloin district were carefully in‘spected to see if any of the disreputable charac‘ers were kept in hiding in
those places. The inspection, from
reports, was very thorough. The
houses were entered and all the apartments visited. “ Where doors were
found locked, they were forced open
by means of a ten-pound sledge
which one of the members carried conspicuously on his shoulder as the committee walked through the streets.
Apparently none of! the individuals
for whom they were*searching could
be found, and it doubtless was e lucky
thing that none of them were, as they
would have been summarily dealt
with.
The good effects of the movement
are already very noticeable and the
peace and quiet of the town is much
improved.
From Hobart’s Mills.
Republican: ‘he sawmill at Hobart Mills will be started about the
first of the month. The company is
now plowing out the railroads to the
camps preparatory to beginning the
logging season. There is a considerable depth of snow yet in the timber.
They have enough logs in the pond to
rnn for sometime. There are at present between one hundred and a hundred and twenty-five men about in the
town. Every house is taken now and
it looks as if more provisions would be
necessary fur the accommodation of
the increased number which is necessary during the summer months.
