| The New York Times, on the
shooting of Mclaughlin.
NEW YORK, Dec. 20.--The Times
has an editorial on the Mclaughlin kill
ing. 1t says: The Coroner's Jury de-
cared that Cox did the deed in self de-
Tense, in other words, that he did right.
The crime of Mclaughlin consisted in
following the example of the good and
great men who control California through
her railroads. These men had robbed q
multitude Of Eastern shareholders out of
the very money which built and equip
ped the California Pacific road. They
got three quarters of the stock and the
whole control Of the road without pay
ing one dollar for either. Why might
Mclaughlin not rob and ruin con.
tractor? The murder OF Mclaughlin
and the acquitial Of his slayer are the
direct result of corporation control in
California. They should teach the mil.
lionaire managers of railroads one lesson
and law abiding people another. While

with IMMUNITY, the people should I'M
derstand that II we are to be preserved

bring railroad managers under proper
legislative control and TO secure more
swift and certain protection for their
victims in the courts OF justice.
