Reception OF the News OF the De Young
Tragedy af Washington - Room for

Tragedy af Washington - Room for
Field.
| Especial to the RECoRD-UNIoN.
WASHINGTON, April 25th-Only one of the
| Washington newspapers to-day makes edito-
rial allusion to the tragic news from San
Francisco, which, aside from the bare an
nouncement of the Shooting is published for
the first time here this morning The excep-
ton is Ramsdefs Republic, which contains the
following editorial: Mr.. Kalloch's son has
shot and killed Charles De Y Dung for abusing
his father, just as De Young shot and came
near killing Kalloch for abusing De Young's
mother. Kearney is in Jail, and San
Francisco is excited. 1t is the fit
graceful quarrel. No one can have more
profound contempt for that bowling dema-
gogue, Denis Kearney, than L have. He was
very properly put in jail for his dangerous
and abusive harangues. Meanwhile the same
Courts allowed De Young, who had not only
attempted to commit murder, but daily pub
lisbed in his paper just as abusive words as
Kearney uttered on the sand lots, to run at
large. Society must protect itself, but it
should be just. Such rigor against
Kearney, such laches of justice towards
| De Young, were not calculated to
inspire the honest but delu led Workingmen
with respect for the equal justice of the law.
! Unbridled and abusive RIGHTEOUSNESS in the
press is as Ieprehensible as on the sand lots.
| Violence on the part of the De Youngs was
as criminal as violence on the part of
Kalloch. Let equal justice be done to all,
and not only will property be protected but
labor will be content.
The Sunday Gazette, on its first page, to-
day prints fine wood-cut portrait of Justice
Field, accompanied with a complimentary
olcI-1 81 =
! gives him the credit of the authorship of the
Provisions of Mining Law" upon which
rests the settled policy of California, and of
all other States and Territories containing
precious metals. The Gazette also quotes
| Judge Joseph Baldwin, of California, as saw
ing of Judge Field ''He has, more than
any other man, given consistency and system
to our adjudication, and laid broad and deep
the foundation of our civil and criminal law.
! The land titles of the State-the most impor-
tant and permanent Of the interests of the
great commonwealth received from his
| hand their permanent protection, and this
alone should entitle him to the lasting graft
tude of the bar and the people"
What is Thought OF the San Francisco
Tragedy ut Chifaso.
CHICAGO, April 25th.-The comments of
the papers on the San Francisco tragedy
agree in denouncing it as a -blooded, law
less performance, which every good citizen
! must condemn. All agree, also, that the De
Youngs, by disreputable journalism, have
provoked Just such action. The Times has
long article reviewing the newspaper success
of Charles De Young and denouncing Kali
loch.

vented seeding In most parts of the North
west, aud farmers are much behind with their
spring work. This seems to be particularly
the case in Minnesota.

ditiou, while in Iowa, Minnesota and Wis
consin it has heen seriously damaged during
the open winter, and in some counties will be
nearly failure.
