Indignant Denunciation of the Revival of
the Santillan Claim of California--Legis-
lative Vote OH the Great Fraud--Substi-
tuition for a Chinese Murderer.
SAN FRANCISCO, March 4.-The Bulletin this even-
ing, under the head of can Immortal Fraud y thus
speaks Of the proposition to reopen the Santillan
claim. The pretense is, that some testimony in
the form Of records of the Acalde of Santa Barbara
has been discovered. These documents, years ago.
We're examined by experts and pronounced worthless.
One or two things to be said on the subject
which are entitled to consideration. In the first
place. is the easiest thing in the world to manufac-
ture missing links of bad title, after trial. If the
policy that is proposed in relation to the Santi-
Ian claim, should be adopted, there are only few
titles in the land that will be allowed to stand. They
will be brought to trial. too, at time when many Of
the witnesses dead, or undiscoverable. No gov
ernment having any regard for its citizens, would
sanction such raid, the end of which no man could
foresee. It is great many years, now, since the
Santillan claim finally disposed of by the courts.
To order it to be ripped up again. wonld be to set in
operation agencies for the manufacture of spurious
title papers, not only in this case, but in hundreds Of
would be involved in litigation. There has already
been too much Of this sort of thing going on. A
