THE SUN FOR 1880.
THE SUN will deal with the events of-the
year 1880 in its own fashion, now pretty well
understood by everybody. From January 1
unlil December 31 it will be conducted as a
newspaper written in the English language
and printed for the whole |>cople.
As a newspaper, THE SCN believes in get
ting all the news of the world promptly, and
presenting it in the most intelligible sliape—
the shape thnt will enable its readers to keep
well abreast of the age with the least unpro
ductive expenditure of time. The greatest in
terest to the greatest number—that is the law
controling its daily inakc-up. It now has n
circulation very much lurger than that of any
other American newspaper, and enjoys an in
come which it is at all times prepared to spend
liberally for the benefit of its readers. People
of all conditions of life nnd all ways of think
ing buy and read THE SUN ; and tliey all de
rive satisfaction of some sort from its columns,
for they keep on buying and reading it.
In its comments on men am! affairs, THE
SCN believes that the only guide of policy
should be common sense, inspired by genuine
American principles and backed by honesty of
purpose. For this reason it is, and will con
tinue to be, absolutely independent of party,
class, clique, organization, or interest. It is
for all, but of none. It will continue to praise
what is good and reprobate what is evil, tak
ing care that its language is to the point and
plain, beyond the possibility of being misunder
stood. It is uninfluenced by motives that do
not appear on the surface ; it has no opinions
to sell, save those which may be had by any
purchaser with two cents. It hates injustice
and rascality even more than it hates unneces
sary words. It abhors frauds, pities fools, and
deplores nincompoops of every species. It will
continue throughout the year 1880 to chastise
the first class, instruct the second, and discoun
tenance the third. All honest men, with honest
convictions, whether sound or mistaken, are
its friends. And THE St N makes no bones of
telling the truth to its friends and about its
friends whenever occasion ari.-cs for plain
speaking.
These are the principles upon which THE
SCN will lie conducted during the year to come.
The year 1880 will be one in which no patri
otic American can afford to close Ins eyes to
public affairs. It is impossible to exaggerate
the importance of the political events which it
lias in store, or the necessity of resolute vigi
lance on the part id - every citizen who desires

JOIIX CHINA MA N.
WHY CALIFORNIA REPUDIATES HIM.
[Correspondence of Philadelphia Times.]
SAN FRANCISCO, NOV. 1.
At tho late election in California a
vote was taken on the subject of Chi
nese immigration, resulting in a prac
tically unanimous expression against it.
Whilst this unanimity arose very
largely from indifference, from the
manner in which the question was pre
sented, and from the knowledge that
the was inoperative, save as an
expression of opinion, there is little
doubt that the decided sentiment of
the people of this State is against any
further Chinese immigration, and this
sentiment is shared by the large num
ber who would look upon the imme
diate expulsion of the Chinamen al
ready here as disastrous. In other
words, the anomaly is presented of a
sparsely-settled community eager for
increased population, and yet deliber
ately rejecting a class of immigrants
possessed of many desirable qualities,
and whose sudden withdrawal would
confessedly be a severe blow to every
industry of the State.
In themselves, independent of their
race and religion, the Chinese are
useful members of the community,
particularly in a new country like Cali
fornia. They pervade the whole State,
are merchants, miners, mechanics, gar
deners, farm hands, laborers and domes
tics, as well as practically monopolizing
tlie laundry business of the country.
The whole social fabric would go to
pieces if they were suddenly removed.
In character they are docile, teachable,
quick to learn, with retentive memo
ries, apparently very forgiving of ill
treatment, perfectly reliable in their
contracts and free in a remarkable
degree from the vice of eye-service.
Crimes of violence, except among
themselves, are practically unknown
among them, though their treatment
is frequently such ns to justify them.
As laborers and farm-hands they arc
not equal to good Americans, but
superior to the majority of white farm
hands and laborers in this State. They
are, in most respects, capital domestic
servants, their worst fault, that of fre
quent change, disappearing when they
are kindly and considerately treated.
WHY THEY ARE NOT WANTED.
It would seem somewhat surprising
that such a class of immigrants should
not be encouraged, particularly in a
State like this, whose one great need
is patient industry, and which gladly
welcomes tho advent of the Italian
peasants, who alone of foreign immi
grants seem capable of coping with
the Chinese in those outdoor avocations
in which the Chinaman is particularly
successful. And when pressed for rea
sons for this apparent caprice nine Cali
forniatiH out of ten can give none, or
only such as are silly and false on their
face—mere denunciations. The Chi
nese do not work cheaply in this State,
neither are they displacing any class
here; to those acquainted with the
conditions of wages and labor in any
new country such statements carry
their refutation with their utterance.
Yet there are reasons for this distrust
antl dislike of Chinese immigration,
and the feeling that leads to their
rejection is probably based consciously
or instinctively upon them by all save
the brutal mob of the sand lots and
their congeners through the State.
One reason is that, with all their good
qualities they have the defect of not
being immigrants in the American
sense of this word; that is to say, they
are adventurers, not colonists. They
do not come as white or European
settlers do, seeking a home. They
come unaccompanied by their families,
rarely, if ever, acquiring land, and not
desiring, perhaps not capable of citizen
ship. Their ideas of civilization are
as different from the American and
European standard, as that of the
African, and the prospect for assimila
tion with it is more hopeless than in
the case of the negro, from the double
fact of their possessing a civilization
which, while better in itself, is more
unyielding than the barbarism of the
African, and that there is no desire or
opportunity for them to become at
tached to the soil by the rearing of
families. Another ami stronger reason
is, that, if they could bo thus perma
nently located race prejudices would
prevent their assimilation or absorption
by the whites to even greater extent
than in the case of the negro, and the
consequence would be the establish
ment of another caste of laborers, at
tended with the most disastrous results
to our true prosperity.
But to the great mass of Americans,
California is so remote and discon
nected from the rest ol the country
that its peculiar institutions are but, a
matter of more or less' philosophical
interest, and this one in particular
would continue so but in the improbable
event of the Chinese immigration
reaching such proportions as to t hrenten
the establishment of an Asiatic colony
on our Pacific coast, and iu the possi
bility of that immigration overflowing
the Sierras and seeking a lodgment in
tho East in competition with one or
more of our laboring classes. Is such
an event as the latter more than a mere
possibility, and would it be desirable?
These are practical questions and pos
sibly worthy of brief consideration.
Wild. TIIE CHINESE STRETCH EAST
WARD ?
The only reasons that will deter Chi
nese immigration from setting in
steadily east of the Mississippi are the
expense of the journey, lack of places,
insufficiency of pay and a decided
adverse public opinion. The first of
these would and could be easily over
come by the mutual profit of the im
migrants anil the public-spirited mana
gers of tho Pacific railroads. The
o|ft!ratinn of the other three would, I
believe, result in their restriction (if
they come) to but two classes of em
ployment, those of domestic servants
ami laundrymen and of laborers in the
South. The effect of a large immigra
tion for either purpose would lie unde
sirable, not only for the reasons above
given, as applying to California, but
from the displacing of the two classes
already employed in those avocations,
though the gain to individual em
ployers might lie, for the present at
least, great. Their temporary presence
in limited numbers, particularly as
domestic servants, might serve an
useful purpose as a hint to Bridget
that now that long suffering individual,
her employer, might turn and revenge
herself. Their advent as laborers and
mechanics would be impracticable and
undesirable, not only by the hostility
it would provoke in both cases, but in
their unfituess to compete with the
whites in either pursuit, the relations
between farmers and hands being essen
tially different from those prevailing in
California, and the ability o f the Amer
ican mechanic to enable his employer
to compete successfully with the
cheaper and more docile mechanics of
Europe lying in his ability to work
with his head as well as his hands, in
which the Chinese are generally sig
nally deficient.
If there is any truth or force in the
forgoing reflections, it might be as
well for Congressmen, when this sub
ject of Chinese immigration is again
forced upon their attention, to consider
it in a broader light than mere party
interests would dictate, and if, ou
statesmanlike grounds, further Asiatic
immigration should be thought unde
sirable, to arrange with the Chinese
Ooverument to put an absolute stop to
it, without discourtesy to a foreign
power or the ridiculous and easily
evaded provisions which marked their
late action on the subject.
TRAINING SHEPHERD DOOS.
The following extract gives Mr.
Darwin's description on the method of
training shepherd dogs:
"When rifling it is a common thing
to meet a large (lock of sheep guarded
by one or two dogs, at the distance of
some miles from any house or man.
1 often wondered how so lirm a friend
ship had been established. The
method of education consists in sepa
rating the puppy while very young
from its mother, and in accustoming it
to its future companions. A ewe is
held three or four times a day for the
little thing to suck, and a nest of wool
is made for it in the sheep-pen. At
no time is it allowed to associate with
other dogs, or with the children of the
family. From this education it has
no wish to leave the (lock; and just as
another dog will defend its master,
man, so will these dogs defend the
sheep. It is amusing to observe,
when approaching a flock, how the
dogs immediately advance barking,
and the sheep all close iu the rear, as
if around the oldest rani. These dogs
are easily taught how to bring home
the flock at a certain hour in the even
ing. Their most troublesome fault
when young is their desire to play
with the sheep, for in their sport they
sometimes gallop the poor things al
most unmercifully.
"The shepherd dog comes to the
house every day for some meat, and as
soon as it is given him he skulks away,
as if ashamed of himself. On these
occasions the house dogs are very ty
rannical, and the least of them will
attack and pursue the stranger. The
minute, however, the latter reaches
the flock, he turns round and begins to
bark, and then all the house dogs take
quickly to their heels. In a similar
manner, tv whole pack of hungry wild
dogs will scarcely ever venture to at
tack a flock guarded by oven ono of
theso faithful shepherds. In this ease
the shepherd dog seems to regard the
she sheep as its fellow brethren, and
thus gains confidence; and the wild
• logs, though knowing that the sheep
are not dogs, hut art! good to eat, yet
when seeing them in a flock with a
shepherd dog at their head, partly con
sent to regard them as he does."

DEATH OF LADY GOOCH.
[From the Now York Herald, Nov. I.]
Lady Gooch, wife of Sir Francis
Gooch, well known iu connection with
her attempt to palm off a spurious
child on her husband, is dead. Thus
ends the strange history which star
tled London a year ago. Lady Gooch
has not died unpiticd. Ever since the
December morning when the recorder
of London said that the law did not
care to deal with her offence and tho
grand jury refused to find a true bill
against her, public opinion has been
veering in her favor, and, while it
could not justify has yet declined to
condemn. English society has come
to believe that she was more sinned
against than shining. To the foreigner
the case was mainly interesting for
the light it threw on the decadence of
a very old English family. The
Gooehes were not ennobled, but for
centuries they had been Lords of Suf
folk domaiu. Thy had given Judges
to tho bench, Generals to the army
and Bishops to the church. Their
founder had in 1727 been created Lieu
tenant Governor of Virginia, and it is
said of him that neither inhabitants
nor merchants ever complained of his
administration. Sir Francis, the
eighth baronet, succeeded to the title
and estates when he was barely of
age. His brother had suddenly died,
leaving a young widow, and from the
position of a penniless younger son he
become at a bound owner of Benacre
Hall and a magnificent rent roll. His
first step was to marry Miss Annie
Sutherland. She was a country
squire's daughter, pretty and lovable.
For a while all was happiness. Sir
Francis bought his younger brother a
commission, took his sister and mother
to live at the hall, and iu tho summer
of 1873 Lady Gooch gave birth to a
son. On the same day Lady Eleanor,
the dowager, married again.
Then the lieir died, and the new
found happiness gradually melted
away. Tho young baronet, believing
that no other heir could be born to
him, estranged himself from his wife.
"Somehow or other," said her advo
cate at the trial, "her husbaud's lovo
was gone—gone with the little child
that was then laid in tho grave. She
become possessed of one idea. Night
and day she cherished one dream. If
she had another child to take to him
—another child who she could per
suade him was her own—then she
might win back the love that was
lost." Sir Francis went off for months
on yachting expeditions; his sisters
had married ; Lady Eleanor, who was
now once more regarded as his heiress,
treated her with undisguised bitterness,
ami she was left alone in tho hall with
a certain Miss Garrod, an elderly com
panion, not unlike Miss Briggs, in
"Vanity Fair." In the morbid mood
thus engendered she first formed the
idea of getting a child from the found
ling hospital. She made little secret
of her intention. She asked the aid of
the meek Miss Garrod, of the hospital
matrons, of various doctors at various
seaside resorts, and when they all re
fused hired the services of a compas
sionate nurse, who conveyed the baby
at night into the Grosvenor Hotel.
Next morning the deception was dis
covered, and her husband burning to
avenge his wounded family honor and
vindicate the claims of Lady Eleanor,
summoned his crazy wife into a police
Court. Everybody will remember tho
rest. The magistrate, feeling that his
Court was not a tribunal for tho ad
justment of private rights, sent tho
case for trial, and the grand jury as ex
peditiously threw it out. But Lady
Gooeh's life was ruined beyond re
demption, and in dying she made tho
only expiation in her power.
