Oar Maxeppa.
For the last six years the community
has been scandalized by the existence
Of an infamous sheet, which would be
tolerated by the municipal authorities
of no other city in the world. Its pro
prietor, I. D. N. Hylton, formerly
issued a paper called The Skedaddle,
and was imprisoned several months
in the county Jail for publishing a dis
gushing ~obscenity. After serving his
term he started Our Mazeppa, and by
most outrageous black-mailing has &C
cumulated over sixty thousand dollars
In less than seven years. It Is impos-
sible to estimate the evil accomplished
by this man. Week after week his
paper has appeared reeking with pru-
riency, its columns filled with ISLANDERS
on virtuous women, and vile insinu-
ations against respectable men. 1t
was in the power Of anyone to
defame the purest life by paying
five dollars for the insertion Of a
scurrilous paragraph, and often mere
school girls were accused Of immorali-
ties, In order to make their parents pay
for the suppression Of supposed facts.
For several weeks past the wife Of w.
G. Lansing, agent Of the United States
Mutual Benefit Life Insurance Com
pany, has been assailed through It's
columns, and on Saturday an article
appeared worse than any that Ind pre-
coded 1t. About nine o'clock yester-
day morning Lansing met Hylton at
the corner of Montgomery and Clay
streets, and drawing a derringer, shot
him In the head, the ball entering the
lower jaw and escaping under the right
eye. The wound Is not necessarily ia
tai, though If the expressed opinions
of the immense crowd which instantly
gathered have any weight with Proyi-
dence, Our Mdzeppa will soon be with
out a publisher. Lansing was imme-
diately arrested and bailed out. w.
II. l.. Barnes and several other legal
gentlemen volunteered their profess
services, which was wholly I'M
as there are not six men In
San Francisco who think he has COM
any offense.
Memorial Day
Was celebrated yesterday with fitting
At one O'Clock in the az
ternoon the procession formed on Mar
ket street, at the head Of Montgomery,
and consisted Of nearly all the city
military companies, about seven hum
dred veterans of the armies Of the re-
the Twelfth U. s. Infantry
band and a battery Of United States
artillery. Major General Ord and
Staff rode at the head Of the line, car
rying in their hands wreaths Of flow
ers. The streets were crowded with
people, bearing large bouquets, which
were offered to the boys in blue, and
every one wore a badge Of
mourning. At Lone Mountain the GER
smonies were very impressive. A con-
course of about three thousand assem-
bled aronnd the tomb of General Ba-
ker, and, after a prayer by the United
States Chaplain, a chant by the quar-
tette, and reading Of orders from the
headquarters Of the Grand Army Of
the Republic, Colonel j. G. Ceremony
made a stirring address, full Of elo-
lusnt passages and touching tributes
to the brave men whose life-sacrifice
saved the nation. In the evening the
attendance was so great at Platt's Hall
that hundreds were unable to obtain
,dmittance. When the mighty audi
ance sang the "Battle Hymn Of the
It seemed as II old war
had come again, and we half ex-
expected to zee the dear face of Starr
King looking from the platform, and
10 hear again the impassioned words
With which he was wont to thrill the
vast assembly. DR.. Stone spoke for
an hour, and then, after the
'tStar Spangled Banner" had been
sung, the great hall was slowly emp
led, and each man and woman must
nave gone home better In heart and
impulse for thus honoring the noble
lead.
"A RouiaA Rally.
In contrast with this gathering Of
was a farcical meeting held at
he same place on Saturday night to
the Fenian pocket under pre-
ense of aiding the demoralized rabble
IN the Canadian border. Colonel F.
?. Walsh inspired his hearers by the
Information that five hundred men In
he wilds Of Washington Territory
we're ready to take up arms against the
British Lion, and II they would only
iubscribe literally Canada could no
loubt be conquered. John Hamill fol-
owed In the same strain, and between
they Grated twelve hundred dol
airs into the Fenian treasury, which
will be good news for sundry hotel

,ecunious patriots to live at ease for
ome months longer.
