FREIGHT AND FARES The Assembly
has passed Mr.. Archer's bill regulating
freights and fares and it now goes to the
Senate for action. Three months of the
session have been consumed in the Lower
House and now the Senate, already with
full files are called upon TO act on one of
the most important measures of the ses-
ion. That it can give the bill the consid :
era i'm it deserves is simply impossible.
The Seuate will have to take the respon-
s,b lity now rs two years ago, of defeat
ing the crude legislation Oft the Assem- bly,
and we do not question but many who
voted for the bill in the Lower House did
S with the expectation that it would be
killed in the Senate in fact the Maripo
sa bully, in ''eXplainng his vote admit
/ ted rs much.
We are not familiar with the features
of the bill and would probably not know
whether they were Just or not if we were.
Railtoad matters is subject which has
put to fault wiser heads than can be found
IN the Assembly of California. And
that one branch of our lawmakers should
rush through such a measure in blind
ignorance of its probable effects, does not
speak well Of the material of which it is
composed. 1t does not mend the matter
to say that the evils of the bill will be cor
rected in the Senate. That body may, in
turn refuse to accept the responsibility Of
defeating it, and shift it to the shoulders
of Governor Irwin. Even allowing the
Senate is Of the same temper of tbs As
sembly and passes the bill what time is
given to the Governor to consider it. 1t
VIII be referred to appropriate committees
in that body, will hang FIRE, when up for
passage will doubtless be amended and
then 81 to the other house for concurrence
By that time the session will be within
few days of its close, and the Governor
must consider the bill at the same time
with hundred others. This kind of
legislation is wrong and the State suffers
hylt "A bill to regulate fares and frciphts
is no doubt demanded by the people, but
they want one which will do Justice to all
the parties in interest. They do not de-
sire to cripple railroad communication,
nor pu. a stop to railway building. But
the kind of anti-raiIroad legislation which
one man ofacltnowledged ability has the
power to force through the House of
which he is member merely by saying
the pc pie want some thing of the sort.
Is not the kind to meet the emergency,
and SO we fear ;he people will find.

A CLOSE CALL. = The Downieviile
Messenge, of last week relates the fol-
lowing: "a few days since j. Lewis, Of
Monte Cristo, while carrying some giant
powder accidently dropped a portion Of it
and it naturally started for the valley
In attempting to recover it he slipped on
the crust and started for the river at rail
road speed. Fortunately for him, some
oak bushes stood in the line of his de-
scent, and he grabbed the first one, but
was under such rapid Roadway he was
unable to hold on, but succeeded in check
ing his motion so that he caught the
next one and stopped. The only DANA
ges sustained was a considerably abradcd
skin and good scare. Had he not
stopped rs he did he would have gone
down several thousand feet and to newt
able Destruction"

Speaker Shannon got of the same thing

RUINED LIVES.

1t would seem that there is a degree OF
fatalism in the lives of some men. which
prompts them, at or near the close Of a
life spent in honorable pursuits, to COM
nit some act which destroys the fair
fame of a lifetime, and go down to dis
honored grave. There is scarcely day
passes but we see in the columns of the
press, some notice of breach of trust by
one in high station, who must hence
forth sink below the level of bis race dur
ing the remainder of life of misery, or
else, perhaps, driven to desperation as
he realizes his future position, seeks re-
lief from the scorn of the world by TAX
ing the life which God had given for Il
nobler purpose. LEAD US not into
temptation, how much Of human mis-
cry, how many wrecked lives would
have been saved to honor and usefulness
but for the yielding in an unguarded mo-
ment, tempted by the display of wealth
which had been entrusted to their care.
But sin brings its own punishment even
If it comes not in the form of discovery
and arraignment at the bar of justice.
The possession of ill-gottcn wealth does
not always bring happiness and content
ment, for to the mind Of one who has
been instructed in the principles of vir-
tue there must be that gnawing of the
conscience, that Gliding of the spirit of
honor which dctracts from all pleasure
and contentmcnt of mind.
Last week we mentioned the robbery
of the Kern County Bank. The cashier
was said to have been called to the door,
struck over the head with n club, and
while he lay there insensible the robbers
made off with the treasure. 1t was a
strange affair, to which no apparent clue
could be found. But there were parties
who were heavy losers by the affair, and
they could not afford to let the matter
pass by in silence. The keenest detec-
tives Of the State were sent to the spot
and for a while, they, too, were apparent
/ lyat FAULT. But now the matter is all
up, the treasure discovered and the thief
driven forth dishonored and beggared
How this discovery was made we are not
told lit is one of the secrets of the de-
tcctives. But they had not been long on
the grounds before they came to the con-
clusion that the cashier had robbed him
SELF and 50 it proved. He had been up
10 that time a man Of the strictcst integ-
ii;y. lie came to Bakersfield bearing n
high reputation, was placed in various
p sitions of trust and always acquitted
him self with honor, yet when the temp
tation vas put in his way he proved too
weak to resist it.
The world is not lcnicnt in its judg-
ments. Honor, justice, law and religion
unite to condemn the one who betrays
the confidence Of those who have reposed
trust in his honesty. This he well knows
will happen-yet he does the deed and
trusts to the chance of escaping discov-
cry. OF what value is such life, when,
after all the cunning devices to throw the
pursuer of the track discovery comes at
last. OF none whatever. The best thing
that can happen him and his is to die and
with his crime be forgotten.

TIE trial of Miner Walden, at Modes
to, fer tamporing with the ballots after
the General Election, to change the cleo
ton returns so that recount would elect
r. IL. Ward for Senator, has been in
progress for some time and excites great
interest IN that community. The testi-
mony against Walden is very direct and
the theory Of the defence appears to be to
impeoch the testimony Of the principal
witness for the prosecution.

OTHER MATTERS.


have now but little space for other
matters. The two treated of, however,
are the great topics Of the day.
The Senate Judiciary Committee has
reported in favor Of the Newspaper Re
traction law, with a slight amendment
striking out the section compelling sus-
pension Of the paper until the ret action
is published.
The Assembly has refused to consent to
the Senate bill repeating the act requiring
bonds for costs in libel suits against news
papers.
The act for the relief of ex Sheriff John
Jackson has become a law, the Governor
having signed the bill.
The General Appropriation bill has
been int 'oduced in the Assembly. Be
sides salaries, etc, it contains for the sup
port Of the State Prison, $240, 900. This
will have to be increased by special
bill to replace The buildings destroyed by
fire at San Quentin yesterday, to the tune
VI 9IOu,OuU. OlOCklOu Insane Asylum,
100000. 1t contains nothing to continue
work on the branch prison at Folsom, so
that establishment may be considered
deal and all the money spent there as
thrown to the dogs.
The bill to prevent the reconstruction
Of the Parks Dam, about which so mu:h
has been said, has passed the Assem- bly,.
Carpenters bill to reform the whole
school system, and which l sketched in
n former letter, has been reported back
flvora5ly by the Educational Committee
of the Assembly and the chances are it
will pass. 1t is bill though likely to
help Democrats to Office, nevertheless
good, just and sound.
The bill repeating the law permitting
women to hold educational offices has so
iar advanced that it may be safely an
nounccd it will become law.

To BE TRIED.-Wilcox the Mariposa
bully, will be tried for assault to murder.
IN the County Court at Sacramento next
Monday. If he escapes conviction and II
sentence to San Queatin, then is Sacra-
mento Justice mockery. The high
position held by the honorable gentleman
should not shield him from the conse-
quencos of his cowardy act, but should
rather be circumstance against him.
None should be asked to respect the law
more thnn those who set themselves .up
ia law makers. The people of Mariposa
county must feel themselves honorcd in
the choice made of representative.
