THE MoREY PERJURER.

One of the Morey letter rascals has at
last come to grief, having been sentenced
to eight years in the penitentiary for per-
jury. While we entertain no malice
towards this miserable wretch, we are
satisfied that it is for the public good that
he should be punished severely. For what
is needed in the circumstances is that
politicians and scoundrels generally should
be made to realize that the getting up of
forged letters in heated campaigns is dam
gerous, and that it has very much less of
the elements of a good joke about it than
this kind of people appear to have thought
If some members of Central Committee
could have been sent to keep O'Brien CON-
pany in the penitentiary, the example
would have been still more impressive, but
even as it is the forged letter device is
probably played out by this episode.

minishing the earnings of line in which it
had an interest. 1t must have taken its
chances, just as any business man does
when he makes an investment. Take an.
other illustration. Suppose that the Atch-
ison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railroad carries
its line through to San Francisco, and sup
pose that it establishes great traffic,
which cuts down the earnings of the Gen.
trail Pacific. What is the Government to
do about it !? 1t cannot stop the Atchison,
Topeka and Santa Fe Railroad from ope-
rating, on the plea that it is injuring the
business Of the Central Pacific. 1t must
take its chances. The fact is that to
judge from the statements which are being
made about the complaints of the Govern
ment, and its demands and expectations, it
might be thought that this business was
being conducted by children, who had not
the faintest conception of commercial
laws, and who entertained the most pre-
posterous notions of governmental author
ity and jurisdiction.

THE SUPERNATURAL IN PENNSYLVANIA

The telegraph has solemnly stated that
Catholic priest named Maloney has just
healed confirmed cripple at Erie, Penn
sylvania, by laying hands on him, and it
adds, with little more caution, "Father
Maloney claims to have restored Ellen
"McTuillin to life by prayer" Now,
when story like this is circulated, too
many people only laugh at it, while some
no doubt open their eyes and mouths and
swallow it at gulp. But neither the
ridicule nor the credulity affect the matter
at all. What is wanted in all such cases
is evidence. No one has right to expect
that stories about miraculous healing and
raising from the dead will be believed on
the strength of a bare statement. But
hundreds of thousands who profess to be-
lieve that such occurrences are or were pos
sible ought to take an active interest in
demonstrating the truth of the modern
miracles. 1t is always evidence of these
things which is wanted-and wanting,
Let us hope that in the present case the
miraculous Father Maloney will be duly
investigated, and that the enterprise which
led the Associated Press to send this won.
derful intelligence across the continent will
also lead it to record the further steps in
the search after truth.

coNuNDRUM FOR THE GOVERNMENT.

Il is alleged that the United States Gov.
eminent charges the Central Pacific Rail-
road Company with having in some mys-
terious way transferred large proportion
of its traffic to its leased lines, and that
the result is to diminish the pro rata
earnings to which the Government is en-
titled under the Thurman bill. In order
to understand this situation we will sup.
pose that the Central Pacific Company
had never built single mile of railroad
in the State after completing the transcon
tinental route, and that it had never pur-
chased or leased any railroads in the State.
Can any sane man believe that in that
in the State until the present day Is it
not, on the contrary, perfectly certain
that other corporations would have been
formed. and that all the railroads which
promised returns would have been con-
structed But if this would have been
the case had the Central Pacific had
nothing to do with any other lines, what
would the position of the Government
have been under the circumstances sup
posed? We reply. its position would
have been precisely what it is to-day. That
is to say, that the traffic would have been
divided amonga number of companies, and
that in the very nature of the case
the earnings Of the through line would
have been diminished. But in that case
the Government would have had no re.
course. 1t certainly could not have pro-
ceeded against the rival railroads for d.

MINING NOTES.

Two nuggets of gold, valued respectively
at 500 and $3.50, were taken out of placer
claim last week between Ida Valley and
Gold Mountain, New.
The copper mines of Walker river, New,
complain that they can make nothing off
of the high freight exacted by the Carson
and Colorado Railroad.
j. Armstrong Acting Commissioner, has
decided that "the fact that if the locator
of a mining claim be under the age of 81
years does not render the location invalid.
The silver bullion output for Tombstone
and Harshaw, A. T., for the quarter end
ing March 3lst, was 1892. 537 l6. The
copper shipments from Bisbee alone were
l,250,0 600 pounds.
The Austin New Rereille suggests that
as the principal mines Of the Comstock are
mainly run by the foremen it would be
saving to the stockholders to dispense with
the Superintendent.
The San Diego Union says An old mine
near San Rafael has attracted the attention
of prospectors. An assay gave about S25
to the ton of gold and silver Some ore
from that same vicinity shows good in
copper.
The editor OF the Santa Ana Herald was
recently shown some specimens of gold
taken from a mine in the Mojave district.
It is calculated that the ore will Weld from
Sl20 to 500 70 the ton The vein is about
four feet wide at depth of forty feet. A
contract has been made for the immediate
erection of mill upon the Mojave river,
to be run by either water or steam power.
On the Sd inst, says the Downieville
Messenger, Bingham and Dixon, at the
upper end of Indian hill, lifted a beau
tiful piece of pure gold weighing IS ounces,
of such purity and chemical fineness that
it viii make over 500 of United States
coin. Several other lesser dumplings of
the same kind were also taken ont, making
roseate smiles illumine the faces of the
lucky owners. This lucky find confirms
the opinion that rich ancient river bed
courses from ''Nigger Tent" through In
dian hill to Lager point, thence through
the rich camps of northern Sierra to Poker
Flat.

Justice to the corporations with whose
interests it deals, but it is empowered to
wrest from them the control of their
affairs, to alter the value of their property
at will. and to do as it pleases with all
their possessions. 1t is to the credit OF the
Board that it has had the fairness to admit
Of argument before judgment, at its bar,
but it is worth while to reflect upon the
nature of tribunal which is invested with
such enormous powers, and before which no
man, under the Constitution, has right to
demand fair hearing.

TIE EDUcATIoNAL APPROPRIATION.

Why the Assembly insisted ON raising
the educational appropriation bill three
hundred thousand dollars above the sum
which had been declared sufficient by the
State Superintendent of Education, is not
very easy to comprehend, unless members
were actuated by the same feeling which
caused both parties in Congress to vote for
the Pension Arrears bill, though all alike
knew that it was an imposition upon the
country. It has been made evident in the
debate on the school appropriation that the
State and counties pay quite enough to
have the very best article of education the
market Will supply. 1t is further evident
that there is strong popular supersti-
ton which prevents any retrenchment in
this department, even when it is more
than limited that the school census figures
are fraudulent, and that consequently
there are many opportunities for financial
leakage in the business. To those who
know what the results of our school sys
TEN are, however, this popular superstition
is not encouraging, tor it is extremely ques-
tionable whether the State is getting any
thing like value received for the large sums
