The Press of the state DeBOun-
cling tine Business.

an Injustice has been done DR..
Dawson i'm attempting TO GUST
him without an investi CATION.
The APPEAL, as il has before
stated, has no personal knowl-
edge of the fitness or un;itness
Of DR.. Dawson for the position
of Asylum Superintendent. If
he has done anything wrong the
investigation will show it, or
it will give him q chance to vim
dictate his character. 1t looks to
us as if Governor Adams was
simply trying 10 carry out his
ill-tempered ilI-timed threat to
Speaker Narian that ne would
oust Dawson, because Varian
had seen fit to call Republican
caucus and elect a Republican
Warden to the Penitentiary.
The Gazette says:
The attempted displacement of
Dr.. Dawson from the Asylum
management is the a!i-absOrbing
topic in Reno, and is attracting
the attention Of the press
in all directions. While 10 one
as yet has disputed the right OF
the Beard Of Commissioners for |
care Of the insane to make a
change, the opinion is very gem
orally expressed that such action
on their part would establish q
very dangerous precedent. The
removal Of an honest, efficient
public servant from a position
for no other reason than to ma Ike
room for somebody else is not
good form. IF the Board has
anything against Dawson which
would Justify them in removing
him, it is but just for them to
inform Dawson of their Ohjec-
tons and give him Il chance to
answer or explain away any
on his part they
him guilty Of.
The Democrats Of Califnrnia, ;;
deeming the office Of Superin-
tendent of the Insane Asylum
above the polite Il ball, have
made no changes iii tbs man
agement Of the ingtitutiOns at
Napa and Stockton. If the Com
are satisfied that DE-.
Dawson is not a tit person to ill
the position of Superintendent
IF the Insane Asylum. they
should remove him. Bat no
gentleman should lose his pO-
sition of Oh such fi1msey charges
as have been trumped up against
Dr.. Dawson by hungry place
hunters. We hope the Board
IF Insane Asylum Commission
ars will take into consideration |
who the Would-be successors to
DR.. Dawson are before they re-
move the gentleman from the
position which he occupies.
The Steer State says: i
The vote shows cOnClusively
hat the Board of Insane Com
is not actuated by =,
~ partisan motives, and that as
he charges against DR.. Dawson t
we're not sustained, the Board
.cted wisely in not removing
lim. His management at the
Asylum has been highly praised
~ the local press and correspon-
Tents and officers. who have
listed the institution, and it is
doubtful if a better man could
re found for the position.
The Sitter .State is partly ia
rror when it says that "the
har9es were not sustained.'
here mas been no inves tigation

|isproven nor sustained ,
