THE PRISON INVESTIGATION.

Inasmuch as Governor Perkins has al
ready appointed Commission to investi.
gate the management of the State Prison
at San Quentin, it would appear proper for
the San Jose Mercury, which brought the
charges against the Warden and the Prison
Directors, to refrain for time from print
ing further accusations, and to put its ale
cations in a shape to be brought before the
Commission. The questions at issue are
not OF character to be settled by news
paper comment and assertion They are
about to be examined and weighed care.
fully. Enough has been done in calling
public attention to them, and in bringing
about the forthcoming investigation, and
no good end can be served while that is
pending, by carrying on journalistic
attack after the fashion lately followed by
the Mercury. We would also advise that
journal, If it wishes to avoid the suspicion
of undue prejudice, not to raise pueriIe
objections to the publication of the state
ments in rebattal OF its charges, made by
those whom it has accused. Whatever the
truth may prove to be, it is perfectly GER
tain that Warden Ames and the Board Of
Directors have exactly the same right to
be heard in defense of themselves that the
Mercury has to be heard IN complaint
against tkem.

BOGUS ADuLTERATIoNs.

A contemporary having seen in the
Nation request for information as to the
fact that "the price of French wines in
this country has remained perfectly
"steady since 1876, in spite of an i'm
"mense diminution of the grape crop in
France, which has made the vintage of
that country unequal to the home de-
"mand," undertakes to answer it by
showing that " New York and the rest of
"the United States is deluged with bogus
authorizations, which go under the names
"of French wines, and a gullible set of
"donkeys prefer to drink the fraudulent
"stuff in preference to good, wholesome
California wines" This may be per-
fectly true, but precisely what our es.
teemed contemporary means by "bogus
authorizations" it is somewhat difficult to
comprehend. An adulteratIon is itself a
"bogus' thing, and therefore bogus
adulteration, being by Interpretation a
sham adulteration, ought, strictly speak
ing, to be genuine article. The language
of our contemporary is what the eathetics
would call too too.

THE INDIclMENT OF SESSIONS.

The indictment of Senator Sessions
while legislative investigation is pending
is certainly a very extraordinary step to
be taken, and it is so unprecedented as to
justify the suspicion that it has been pro-
cured by partisans without any regard to
the actual requirements of the case. The
truth is that the Bradley charge has fallen
fat. 1t has been evident from the first
that nobody who knows Bradley would
believe him under cath. and as soon as it
was developed that the Conkling men had
been aware of what was coming several
days before the alleged bribery occurred,
the whole story was discredited utterly.
It was too plainly conspiracy to deceive
anyone who followed the inquiry, and its
failure to affect the vote has apparently
driven the Conkling men to desperation,
and induced them to procure the indiot-
ment of Sessions rather from malice than
any other sentiment. OF course there is
no evidence to prosecute him upon. Brad
ley's case broke down long ago. 1t is but
gratuitous exhibition of venom, and will
effect nothing.

A FUTILE EXPEDITION

A dispatch yesterday grayely stated that
one Calling, an English newspaper CORE.
spondent, had just left tina. country with
the intention OF penetrating into Siberia.
to ascertain the real condition of the Rus.
sian convicts and political exiles. This
loud announcement of an expedition the
entire success OF which must. from the
nature of the case, be dependent upon the
extreme secrecy with which it is con-
Quoted, reminds US of the way in wnich
Mr.. Wrinkle informed all whom il might
concern that he was ''going to begin, I"
preparatory to pulling off his coat and
launching into the fight. On that oc-
casion the bystanders, having had
ample warning, were able to prevent Mr..
Wrinkle from beginning" and it seems
possible that the Russian Government may
adopt similar course with Mr.. Calling.
That it will allow him to 60 to Siberia
openly and with its cognizance can only be
believed if it is further assumed that it
does not intend him to return thence
And if he expects to penetrate Siberia in
spite OF governmental vigilance. it is per-
iectly clear that his difficulties will be in
creased an hundredfold by telling the Rus
slans IN advance what he proposes to do.
In fact it is entirely safe to conclude that
nothing will come of Mr.. Galling's expedi.
tior.

THE ENGLISH RAILWAY MURDER.

England has another terrible sensation
in the form of railway murder. A man is
found in a compartment of carriage,
bleeding from several wounds. He tells a
confused story of having been fired upon
by one of two men who were his fellow
travellers. Subsequently the body of one
OF these fellow travellers, retired mer-
chant, is found some distance back, ON the
line, with the throat cut, and robbed. OF
course suspicion falls upon the young man,
whose story of third person in the car
rage is not believed. As moreover he
gives a fictitious name, and as some articles
belonging to the murdered man are found
in his possession, the chain OF circum.
stantial evidence seems strong The chief
significance OF this murder, however, is
that it once more emphasizes the special
danger attaching to the English fashion
of separate compartments in railroad
passenger cars. 1t would be impos-
sible for such crime as this
to be committed on an American
railway, and as a matter Of fact
no such crime has ever been attempted
in this country. Bat in England there is
quite a long catalogue of just such TRACE.
dies, beginning with the notorious Muller
case, and coming up to the last outrage
preceding the present one, which was the
robbery with violenceof passenger on one
of the London underground lines. II would
seem that the appreheDsions which the
comparatively frequent occurrence of such
crimes must impart to travellers in England
would before this have impressed them
selves upon legislation, and have led to
the abandonment of the separate CON-
partment plan. 1t appears however that
Englishmen would rather put their lives in
jeopardy than forego the pleasure of shut.
ting themselves completely away from the
"common people, and probably this con.
servatism will continue to control the
situation for some time longer, despite
such occasional grim protests as thi;
Brighton murder constitutes.

THE MARCH OF COMETS.


EDS. REcoRD-U UNION: Since the appear
arce of the comet now visible have heard
frequent mention made of the sd lress of
Colonel E. d. Baker, on celebrating the lay
ing of the Atlantic cable in San Francisco, in
1858. His oratorical use of the great comet
of 1858 upon that occasion was in manner
peculiarly his own, and added much to the
charm and effect of his Grafton. I subjoin
the extract from the address which contains
the allusiens to the then comet:
Even while we assemble to rejoice at the
completion Of the laying of the Atlantic cable,
whose mysterious coil, hidden in the bosom of
the sea, is to carry in throbs of fire the re-
sponsive heart-beats of great and kindred
nations, the Almighty, as if TO impress us
with our weakness when compared with His
power, has set q new signal of His reign in
heaven. If to night. fellow citizens, you will
look out from the glare Of your illuminated
city into the northwestern heavens, you will
perceive low down on the edge of the horizon
bright stranger pursuing its path across the
sky. Amid the starry,'hosts that keep their
watch it shines. attended by brighter pomp,
and followed by broader train. No living
man has gazed upon its splendors before
its course for nearly ten generations.
1t is more than 800 years since its approach
was visible from our planet. When last it
came it startled an Emperor on his throne,
and while the superstition of his age taught
him to perceive in its presence a herald and
doom, his pride saw in lis flaming course and
fiery train the announcement that his own
light was about to be extinguished. In COM
mon with the lowest OF his subjects, he read
omens of destruction in the baleful heavens,
and prepared himself for fate which alike
awaits the mightiest and the meanest.
Thanks to the present condition of scientific
knowledge, we read the heavens with far
clearer perception. We see in the predicted
return of the rushing blazing comet through
the sky the march of heavenly messenger
along its appointed way and around its predes-
tined orbit. For 800 years it has travelled amid
the regions Of infinite space. "Lone, wander
ing, butnot lost, it has left far behind shining
suns, blazing stars and cleaning constella
tlons; now nearer the eternal throne, and
again on the confines of the universe, it re-
turns with visage radiant and benign it re-
turns with unimped march and unob-
structed way it returns, the majestic. swift,
electric telegraph of the Almighty, bsaring
upon its flaming front the tidings that
throughout the universe there is still peace
and order: that amid the unreasonable do.
minions Of the Great King, His rule is still
perfect; that suns, and stars, and systems
trend their endless circle and obey the eter-
nal law. b.
