CANNON, TEE AGITAToR.
Six Months Imprisonment and s., 900

Fine-Released on Bail
L. j. Cannon, found guilty of having
\ used inceudiary language ON the sand lot
on the Goth of last month, was called for
sentence in the San Francisco Police Court
Saturday morning. Judge Rix, before pro.
nouncing sentence, said "The matter re-
ferred to By counsel applies to Legislatures
and law-making bodies In passing laws
these must observe the provision of the
Constitution which provides that penalties
shall not be excessive. 1t does not apply
to Judges, who are bound to observe the
law, and so long as they keep within the
law. This matter of sentence comes di-
rectly home, and appeals directly to the
discretion of a Judge, when he is allowed
such by the law. There is large discre-
ton under this ordinance, and Judge may
impose as low fine as he pleases, or he
may impose a fine Of 81, eco and sentence
to imprisonment for six months. AS have
said before, there is difference of opinion in
this matter of sentence. There may be
ascribed to Judge motives, either one
way or the other. In my judgment, if
such things are allowed to weigh with a
Judge, he would be unfit to hold bis po-
sition Education has much to do with
the matter of penalty. To some who have
been educated one way the smallest penalty
may seem hard, and to Others the extreme
penalty may seem less than it ought to be-.
My education has been such that it leads
me to deem anything that tends to disturb
the people is dangerous to the community.
If am wrong in my ideas, which I think
come correctly to me, then the people are
at fault for having placed me here. The
Judgment of the Court is that the defend
ant pay fine of 81, 600 and be imprisoned
for SIX months in the House of Correction.
The defendant was then remanded to the
custody of the Bailiff, and went to the
station below, where ne remained until
few minutes before noon, when he was
placed with other persons committed to
the House of Correction in the prison van
and driven to administration. At half-past
2 o'clock in the afternoon the defendants
attorney filed a motion of appeal, and the
Court fixed bail at So, 600, which was fur
nished, with d. r. Mcneil, of 81 Seventh
street. and James Harkins, of the north.
west corner of Twenty fifth and Howard
streets, as sureties. The Judge signed an
order of discharge, which was delivered to
the bondsmen, who went out to the House
of Correction with it.

mind that when he poured the coffee in
the jar it ran through into bag concealed
by the female sharper
A few evenings since as j. y. Redmond,
was nearing his gate; on the road from No
vato, a shot was suddenly fired at HIM by
man from behind and ball wh'stled
close past his head. His team sprang into
a run. Just ahead was bridge. The
team did not cross the bridge, but yeered
to one side and dashed across the bed OF
the creek The ditch was five or SIX feet
wide, and three feet deep, and how 1t was
crossed in safety viii always be mystery
Yet nothing was broken. Mr.. Redmond
saw the man, but it was only glimpse, as
the team sprang to run. Fortunately his
gate was open, and he was not delayed by
it. Next morning the mans tracks re-
vealed that he ran down the bank OF the
creek, from the place where he fired, to the
bed, there being no water n the creek, and
along the creek bed to the gate, where, no
doubt, he had expected to intercept his
body if the first shot had taken effect.
[San Rafael Journal, March 18th.
A dispatch was received here on Mon
day from jacksonville stating that several
hundred miners were there from Norton
vile and Somerville, to prevent the men
who had just been engaged by the pro-
prietors of the Empire mine from going to
work lat the agreed upon rates for min
ing the coal, and it was apprehended that
there might be serious disturbance. Sheriff
Mahan went up Monday evening, and from
him, on his return, we learned that no
violence threatening intimidation was in
dulged in by the visitors from the other
mining villages They declared their visit
to be simply for the purpose of comforting
with the newly-engaged men, and convinc-
ing them, if they could, that they ought
not to go work at the proposed rates, as it
would tend to general reduction of miners
wages if they should do so. The confer
ence they sought with the newlyengaged
workmen was granted but the arguments
against the policy of their going to work
were not sufficiently strong to prevail upon
them, as would appear from the fact that,
after the conference the new men went to
work on the terms of their engagement,
and there has since been no attempt to in
timidate or coerce them in the matter.
But it is intimated that the concerns of
mutual interest are still held under con-
sideration by the parties, and may lead
them to some agreement IN the early. fu-
ture.-[ Contra Costa Gazette, March Goth.

It is said that SO the people" will not
stand such an arrangement How do mem
bers know what the people will stand? Do
they believe the people to be so blind to
community interests, so absorbed in penny
wise and pound-foolish habits, 50 ignorant
OF the part which community principle
plays and has always played in govern
ment, State and national, that they would
refuse to hear reason on this matter? We
believe that the fear of popular displeasure
is mere phantom conjured up by super
sensitive political mentalities, and that it
has no justification in fact. But whatever
the truth may be in that regard, this case
is one which demands independent action
from the Legislature. The representatives
of the people are not merely delegates.
They are expected to have minds
of their own. They are sent here to
transact business which the people
collectively cannot undertake, and they
are supposed to possess enough sagacity
and good sense to decide upon the
best means of doing that business. They
are confronted with situation in which a
dominant necessity for action is the Lead
ing feature. They find, outside of the
scientific conclusions which at once call for
action and indicate the nature of the reme-
dies, a great mass Of confused and confus-
ing opinions, much of which is bred of
jarring interests and ignorance of the sub
ject in issue If they attempt to seek a
guide in this whirlpool of discordant coun-
sells they must fail. and their experience
hitherto ought to convince them of the
hopelessness of that programme. There
remains, then, but one method of solution,
and it is to recur to the scheme of general
taxation. The fact tina. there is opposi-
ton to this goes for very little, for
there is opposition to every proposal.
But it is significant that the opposition
to this does. not come from the outside, as
does all the rest of the opposition. There
is nowhere any organized or even tangible
resistance to the general taxation plan in
the State. That plan has failed SO far

The question of raising the revenue,
however, has been the rock upon which
all the propositions have been shipwrecked
The bill which now hangs in the Assem-
bly,, and which is so framed that it would
reduce the districts to the people who
were directly injured, alone, and thus Sc
cure the failure of any action whatever,
through the poverty of the districts, is,
as we have already pointed out, equiva-
lent to no legislation at all. The Assembly
cannot afford to play with this grave issue
by passing so futile and abortive a meas
ure. Tho principle of forcing the farmers
directly injured to bear so large a share of
the expense is altogether unjustifable, and
moreover could not be put in operation for
the reasons above stated. If it is proposed
that the miners alone should pay for a sys-
tenn Of dams, it is possible that they would
accept that arrangement, provided that
they could obtain some guarantee against
claims for damages hereafter ON the part
of the farmers. Such method would in
fact be tantamount to giving the miners
license to go on with their work, even
though the dams should prove to
be Ineffective in holding back the
debris. To this the farmers would
OF course object strenuously, nor
could the Legislature in fact deprive them
of their common law right of action for
tort, in such a way. 1t therefore appears
that there are strong objections to this as
well as to the district plans which have
been submitted, and it is impossible to de-
wise any scheme Whatever which will not
antagonize some interest. But the fact
that the subject abounds with difficulties
cannot relieve the Legislature Of response
bility. 1t remains true, notwithstanding
all these conflicts of purpose and interest,
that unless remedies are applied without
delay the gravest and most irremediable
injuries will be inflicted, net only upon in
dividpals, but upon the State. And when
all is said that can be said on the PROPOSE
tions which have been discussed, the con-
viction must become stronger that the
most just, defensible and statesmanlike
policy is that which contemplates the con-
struction of relief works with the revenues
