THE ONLY ONE.

While other papers, on both sides of
the question, were complaining of losing
subscribers during the Constitutional
campaign, the JOURNAL held its own and
kept adding names to its su scription
list, although the stand taken by this pa
per was as decided and aggressive as any
in the State. 1t was therefore with iome
surprise that, on our return from the city
after brief absence, we learned that n
preminen politician of this county whom
We had recently assisted to position, had
withdrawn his patronage from the jour
NAL. This was the only one lost during
the campaign, and il after the campaign
had closed. Now, as this patronage
amounted to the munifcent sum Of Sl5 per
annum, we consider it matter OF i'm
mense importance when viewed in a f.
nancial light and regret exceedingly that
the truthful utterances which have ap-
peared from time to time in these columns
should have had such a damaging effect.
After mature deliberation, however, we
have concluded to continue the publica =
tion Of the JOURNAL for a time at lenst,
though we can scarcely hope that il will
ever be as lucrative in the future as il has
been, under the SIS per annum patronage
ofour friend, in the past. While on this
subject we will take occasion to remark
that it is the privilege Of every man to
support his local paper or not, just as he
pieases, and it is only necessary to settle
up and say so to have the Journal dis
continued to his address. We would sug-
gest, however, that when patronage is
withdrawn on account OF anything said
by the JOURNAL il would at least show
little courtesy to transact the business
with the proprietor Of the paper, even
though a few days might intervene be-
fore his return to business. TO our many
friends, readers and patrons we will simp-
ly remark .hat the TRINITY JOURNAL is
one Of the permanent institutions Of this
county; that it is doing an honorable,
legitimate and prosperous business
Furthermore that it hopes to thrive and
flourish long after the CaIifoI mia fossils
have again sought their holes, and that it
will have an Independent, prosperous ex-
istence when the Honorable Bills of the
present day have passed from the field of
action and been irrevocably consigned to
political oblivion By the direct voice of
an outraged and indignant constituency.

GooD TURN,OUT The Working

Saturday evening, in honor of the adop-
tion of the New Constitution, was COM
plete success. Fully 5000 were in line,
the Chronicle to the contrary notwith-
standing, and the streets were complete
ly blocked with people from the sand lots
on Market to the junction of Kearny and
New Montgomery. The procession was
headed by Denis Kearney, who drove his
dray containing six men holding an inn

each of the other divisions greeted the
Chronicle Office With groans ard hisses in
passing, the II. BIS dofed their plugs and
bowed most obsequiously. Whatever else
may be said of Kearney, it cannot be de-

following in the city of San Francisco.

1t now remains to be seen whether that

HORRIBLE AFFAIR.-A Bakersfield,
Kern county, dispatch of May 28th, has
the following: about 1915 this morn
ing some one called at the door Of the
Court house and was answered by Jailer
Reed, who was requested to open the
door. Mr.. Reed refused, when the door
was forcibly broken open, and about rs
men entered. The jailer was ordered to
throw up his hands, which he did. The
keys were demanded, but refused -
Search was then made and the keys
found. The mob entered the cells con-
tanning Thomas and William YoaKum,
and lynched them by hanging them in
their cells. William Yoakum was chain,
ed to the floor of the cell, and as the
chain could not be loosened he was hang
ed with the chain on his feet. He was
shot several times after hanging bim.-
The mob then took Thomas and hanged
ed him. The Yoalums were in Jail for
the killing of Johnston and Tucker at
Long Tom more than year ago. viii.
liam Yohkum had his trial and was con-
victed of murder in the first degree and
the Supreme Court ruled last week that
he should have change of venue, and
his case was moved to Fresno county,
The mob were all masked except Rve."

A WORD OF EXPLANATION.

AS an erroneous impression seems to
prevail among certain interested few
regarding the authorship of an extract
from the S. f. Spirit Of The Times copied
into the last JOURNAL, a little explana-
tion appears to be in order. We did rot
write the article in reference 20 extortion-
ate tolls, nor did we suggest or advise its
original publication. We did authorize
and direct its publication in the JOURNAL
with due credit to its author, just as we
do many other things of loca! interest,"
When interviewed at San Francisco in
reference TO the matter, we distinctly
stated that we did not think Mr.. Tinnin
owned any stock in the corporation at
present, although at one time he had been
a director of the company. Whether
that gentleman is now interested in the
road or not, we do not know and do not
care. Further than above stated we had
no connection with the article in question.
although inqliry since our return confirms
the rate of toll as therein set forth. If
any injustice has been done in the mat
ter, our columns are open for correcti m
In regard to certain threats and cautions
which have come to our ears within the
past few days, we only say that we cannot
be either bull dosed or intimidated in the
management of the JOURNAL. When
ever we wish to go after anybody or
anything editorially we shall do so in our
own columns and not those of a San
Francisco paper. ,Sd6es

THE OLD TINE PRosPEcToRs.-T
editor of the Esmeralda Nevada Herald
who has not been in California for many
years, thus speaks Of the miners with
whom he associated here in early DAYS:
Some are in the same State; some in
Sageland, Utah, Arizona, Idaho, Mon
tana, the East, Europe, and in tho grave.
A few are still the restless, uneasy nomads
they were twenty-nine years ago. They
are the old time prospectors. They are
stili seeking fortune in every canon and
on every mountain on the Pacific slope.
their lives have been exhausted in search
for wealth, and if the fortune which they
have SO long sought for continues to evade
them in the future as in the past, may
the hope, at least, be spared them until
som otime, after days wearisome search
they may lie down where the full moon
will shine like real silver on some noun
tain top; that they will watch until at
last the belief will grow that it is their
long. looked for hight and that, SO dream
ing, they may painlessly fall as eep, and
wake whore the mountains arc golden
and the hills wear garments Of everlasting
Summer.
