~Ciiixens, to the Rescue.n
With an article thus headed in
the last Telegram, we can mainly
accord, and il anything We can say
or do 10 stir up our citizens 10
put away the evil complained OF,
by bringing about vigorous and
prompt punishnent to those per-
sons engaged in the sale OF liquor
In violation Of law at any time, but
more especially on the Sabbath.
We will cheerfully and gladly do it
We would, il We could, extirpate
the curse-the crime-of selling
and drinking liquid hell fire and
distilled damnation,' from the land.
But there lie, We think, more sen
sible and lawful way to bring the
guilty to punishment than the pro-
cess marked out by the editor of
the Telegram. The mistake Of
our neighbor consists in the misin
depreciation Of the word "inform-
ation." He CONSTITUTES it simply to
mean that when he goes to the
Prosecuting Attorney. and tells
him that A. b. and c. are violating
the law, tia. is sufficient for him
to institute proceedings against
them. We know very little about
law, but common-sense, which is
generally conceded to be the foun-
dation Of law, explains the "infor-
nation" TO be received BY the At
torney, on which action is based
against the transgressor, to mean
nothing less nor more than an affi-
davit, or an oath, Of an individual
the editor OF the Telegram or
any other nan-thst the parties
aforesaid have been guilty Of vio-
lating the law which prohibits the
selling Of intoxicating liquors on
the Sabbath day. That is the pro
cess that must be observed. The
Attorney cannot proceed without
this legal "information"--any 9th.
.er mode would be illegal and pre-
,posterOus, ~ our ncighbor well
understands. 1t is your duty, Mr..
Editor Of the Telegram. II you
know whereof you speak, to step
forward and testify, and we can
assure you, from the personal
knowledge we have Of the Prose-
cutting Attorney, Maj. John S
Lyle, that when this legal ''infor
nation" is given him, the guilty
parties will be promptly brough,
TO Justice, and, il proved guilty
will be punished to the fullest ex
tent OF the law. The insinuatior
-charge-that Mr.. Lyle i. ..serv-
ing the interests of the whisky
ring" in gratitude for the position
he holds from its influence in Sc
curing him the position of Prose
.cutor, is gratuitous, and il we did
not believe that the editor Of tn,
Telegram was . sincere advocate
of temperance, and aiming to dc
right, we would add false and ms
licious.
Let him try this, the only Lawful
and binding information on tn

then fails to act OH it, we will az

whom he has long been associated,
and of the party which he has done
more than any one man to build up.

in America, and now he finds himself

HARRY MEIGGS,

There is much truth in the refec-
tons of a writer in the Golden
City" over the laudations of the con-
duct of Harry Meiggs in repaying to
a washerwoman whom hehad robbed
in former years, the amount of his
hdefalcation, after he was able to
count his profits by the millions.

a prominent business man and Off

hearing of his good fortune, took
passage on one of the steamers, and
making him a visit, presented her
account for $500, which she had de
posted with him prior to his depart

promptly paid the money, whereat
the newspapers united in a general
laudation OF the generosity Of the
debtor. The writer referred TO in
the Golden City waxeth indignant,
and thus expresses himself:
This honest wholesale swindler
