THE HON. W. B. C. BROWN.

The sudden death yesterday of the hon.
ored citizen whose name heads this article
will be heard of with equal surprise and
sorrow all over the State. In this commu.
nifty, where he had long lived, his eminent
probity and genial kindness of nature
had made him very popular. He was in
the prime of life, and had behind him a
useful and honorable career, while before
him seemed to loom greater distinction
than he had yet attained. He had served
in Sacramento as County Clerk, and in the
State Administration as State Controller.
In both these offices he won golden opin.
ions from all sorts of people. As State
Controller he exhibited the most scrupu.
lous integrity, combined with a high order
of ability. 1t is not too much to say that
he was the most prominent Democrat in
California, and that the hopes of the party
depended largely upon him. At the time
of his death he was a candidate for the
Govemorship, and his past services and his
high standing in the party made it almost
certain that he would have secured the
nomination had he lived. 1t is quite
unavailing to do even meager justice to a
good and talented man in the course of a
brief article. In all such cases it is the
works of the dead which must speak for
them the friendships cemented by their
virtues; the esteem created by their rec
titude Of purpose and principle. W. B. C.
Brown was man of far more than ordi-
nary force of character and intellectual
attachments. His Democracy was not a
narrow and illiberal doctrine. Though an
active politician, and a vigorous antagonist
in campaign, his temper was go mild and
his instincts SO gentlemanly, that none of
his opponents were ever made to feel the
smart of personal vituperation. He was,
indeed, thoroughly manly man, honorable
and upright in all his dealings, faithful to
all his engagements, true friend and
formidable enemy, full of enthusiasm for
his party, but empty of all mean hatreds
for those who held opposite convictions.
1t is but few days since he delivered
lecture in this city, on Immortality"
He sought to demonstrate, from the familiar
facts of existence, the strong probability
that the grave does not end all. Even
then the shadow of the grave was i'm
pending over his own head, but he could
not know that in less than week he
would be called upon to solve the awful
problem for himself. We remember him
as an honorable foe in politics as a warm
hearted friend in private life. The com.
manity deplores his untimely taking off.
and sympathizes most sincerely with his
bereaved family. Throughout the State his
death will be recognized by his party, and
by many who never voted the Democratic
ticket, as public and general loss, and as
one which in many respects cannot be

strong, and almost universal. But though
this disposition existed, the people of Sac
ramento were, to their credit be it said,
incapable Of acting upon the inspiration of
the moment. They had been educated to
respect and abide by the law. They knew
that in this county no failure of justice was
to be feared. They could not but feel con-
fdent that the murderer would receive the
full penalty of his crime with az little de-
lay as possible. And therefore, though
they assembled at one time in sufficient
force to have overwhelmed the small body
of police guarding the City Jail, they alb
stained from any overt act of violence.
1t has been said that this was only be-
cause they lacked leaders. But there
were hundreds of determined men
present who could have led them, and who
would have been willing to do SO but for
that habit of reliance upon law which,
after all, constitutes the main distinction
between civilized and semi.civilized COM
munities. Had the murderer been
wrested from the custody of the police.
and hanged, perhaps there would have
been no regret for his end, but Sacra-
mento would have very soon realized that
she had discredited her record as peaceful
and law abiding city, and that she had
committed a terrible mistake, The con-
duct of the police and the militia at what
seemed the critical juncture was all that
could be desired. The occasion was such a
strain upon the public mind as very sell
dom occurs, but it is matter for general
congratulation that the sober second
thought prevailed. and that we have not
causelessly impeached our own institutions
by allowing it to be believed abroad that
we were obliged to seek justice through
illegitimats methods.

No community has ever been more pro-

one was by the wanton murder of James
Lansing. The knowledge that one of the
most deservedly popular and most highly
esteemed citizens had been butchered by
miserable scoundrel who was running
amuck like frenzied Malay, tested the
civilization Of the public to the utmost.

geauce upon the assassin was natural,
