San Fraucisco, aud iu fact, all of California, is railing at the president for his allusion, iu his annual message to Congress, to Sun Fracnisco as the base of the trouble that has arisen between the United States and Japan. The president realizes that the United States is under obligations to protect the City of San Fraucisco from any foreign country which may become augered at tho actions of the city, aud too, ho raelizes that the offences may have boon committed without any justification, aud like the good futhor who boos tho wrong iu his own child and profers to chastise it rather than let it go ou mid on until it has com mitted crimes that ruins tho good uiinio of the whole family, he sees lit to call a halt to even San Fraucisco in its wayward plight, and threaten severe punishment, rather than let it go on and ou and plunge the entire uation into war. Think of the whole United States being at bloody war to vindicate tho selfish desires of oue littlo neck-o-the-woods. But it will do it, whou that little uock-o-tho-woods is iu the right j but if, through its selllshuess aud waywardness, petted aud spoiled, as San Fraucisco is ou account of its afflictions, it steps de fiantly beyoud its constitutional rights, tben it is time that a little quiet, family spanking take place. In dealing with that subject the president, after giving a brief history of Japan's growth, its strength as a! nation, its honor as a civilized coun- try, and dwelling at considerable i length npon the high standard of ci vilization attained in the last fifty years by Japan, and tho character of its great men, who rank with the great men of other nations, the president said : "The Japanese have won in a single generation the right to stand abreast of the foremost and most enlightened peoples of Europe and Ameraica; they have won on their own merits and by their own exertions their right to treatment on a basis of full and frank equality. But here and there a most unworthy feeling has manifested itself toward the Japanese the feel ing that has been shown in shutting them out of the common schools in San Fracnisco, and in muttering a gainst them in one or two other places, because of their efficiency as workers. To shut them out from the public schools is a wicked absurdity, when there are no first-class colleges in the land, including the universities and colleges of California, which do not gladly welcome Japanese students and on which Japanese students do not reflect credit. We have as much to learn from Japan, as Japan has to, learn from us ; and no nation is fit to teach unless it is also willing to learn. Throughout Japan, Americans are well treated, and any failure on the part of Americans at home to treat Japanese with a like courtesy and con sideration is by just so much a con fession of inferiority in our civiliza tion. It is only a very small body of onr citizens that act badly. Where the Federal Government has power it will deal summarily with any such." Our Telephone System. A new telephone line is being con structed ftom Pine Creek to Davis Creek, and the company, of which we understand S. O. Cressler is a mem ber, has bought the eld telephone line running from Davis Creek to Alturas, ( and will rebuild the line, making di rect telephone connections from Pine Creek to Alturas. A continuous tele phone line will tben extend from Sil ver Lake south through Lake County and to Alturas. . The line from Warner is connected with this line at Ry- nold's store, also the line running to Klamath Falls is connected, so that it is possible now to talk from any part ,' of Lake countv to any part of Modoc county Calif., or Klamath and Jack son counties, in this state. These lines also connect with the Western Union telegraph lines, and messages can be 6ent to any part of the world at a very reasonable rate of toll. II. E.

The Portland Journal of the 27th, ' Inst., contains the following account about the Windy Hollow mining dis trict, written from Ashland. "Marks, who is interested in valuable mining claims in the new Windy Hollow re gion, discovered by the Lofftus Bros., : and who has mined in Australia, Alas ka and this state, declares that there is no question about the richness of the new And.

The country known as the Windy Hollow mining district. Some call it the Lost Cabin district. The entire country surrounding the Jumbo mine, five miles In width and seven miles in ; length, is all staked off as lode min ing claims. About 300 of the locations have the 10-foot discovery shaft sunk on them in conformity with the state law. The Lofftus Bros., have refused i8eTeral offera of 10,000 cash for the ! Jumb me alone.
