Fatal AEray.

On Sunday night last, about o'clock word was brought to the Sheriff's office that & man was lying dead at the corner of Third street and Maiden Lane. The body was taken to the Court House, where it was found that death had been caused by gunshot wound ln the neck which had severed the jugular vein and several arteries, causing instant death. A Coroner's jury was summoned on Mon- day. and found the man, whose name was Jesus Cruz, came to his death from gun shot wound at the hands of A. Lorette, proprletor of the store at the locality where deceased was found. The testi- mony adduced at the inquest which had any relation to the affair, was that Of little boy apparently not over 10 years oi age, who saw the affair, From the boy's testimony it would appear that deceased came to the window of Lorette's store, WHICH lau Dtcu C1OsCO o1uSO V NAONhi and wanted to purchase medicine He was told there was none, and also order ed to leave. He still persisted in trying to keep the window shutters open, while the proprietor was anxlous to shut them, The ,boy also testified that after some bad language deceased stepped back and put his hand inside his vest as if in search of weapon. At this juncture a shot was fired and the man fell mortally wounded. On Monday night Mir. Lorette waved an examination before Judge J. l.. Smith and wa: held to await the &C., ton of tEe Grand Jury on charge of manslaughter. The deceased bore an unenviable reputation, and was consider ed by his countrymen most desperate and dangerous character, having, by common rumor. killed several men dur ring his career.

 Yuma bridge.

EDITOR SATURDAY Press Sir As
retired member of the fourth estate |
cannot help feeling keen interest in
all that effects newspaper men. As a
looker-on il has seemed TO me that my
young friend Mr.. Z. c. Macfarlare,
who has now assumed the full control
of the Pacific Commercial Advertiser,
is not receiving courteous treatment at
the hands Of his brethren of the press.
Men who are equal in honesty Of pur-
pose may differ widely in opinion on
public questions. II seems hardly wise
to allow the discussion on questions oi
principles to degenerate into abuse OF
men.
confess to some disappointment at
the tardy expression Of the Advertisers
opinion of the banking bill, presented
to the legislative assembly by the Hon.
Mr.. Cecil Brown, but in summing up
the matter feel satisfied that the
Advertiser IS sound upon the principle
points Of objection to that bill
Upon other questions coming into
prominence at this time the Advertiser
seems to be upon the main in sym
pathy with the opponents OF the minis
Try, and 1t is, in my opinion, very i'm
polite 10 refuse thar paper standing
room upon the platform OF the indie
pendent party, simply because il utters
opinions which do not chord with the
pitch given BY the more radical wing ol
that party.
AS a member Of the opposition
feel tina, il is a waste Of influence tc
decline the Advertisers assistance in
resisting the measures which threaten
the welfare Of this community.

FRIENDSIfIP rs. CITIZENSHII.

There is one lesson the community
needs to learn above all others the
lesson Of the value of true citizenship.
So long as considerations Of friendship
are permitted to intervene between
just criticism and the public officials
who merit it, just SO long will we have
incompetent, weak and venal public
servants. 1t is a humiliating truth that
the strong general expression in favor
Of good government, which has charac-
terized the recent utterances of press
and platform and general talk, has
been for long time dormant. We
think it has been kept dormant by
friendship:
Friendships above all ties that bindthe heart,
And faith in friendship is the noblest part.
We admit the strength of the prevailing
sentiment We admit also the beauty
Of the thought, the poetry of the idea.
We know that the man who has no
friends and deserves none is the most
unfortunate Of men, But we recognize
the limitations of true friendship, and
when, in the conduct Of public affairs,
those limitations are not observed, We
think it is time to reconsider the
attitude Of the public towards the pub
lies servants and come to a clear
understanding of right and wrong in
the relations of each to the other.
1t is necessary fairly to appreciate
the force of this argument that the pre-
sent cabinet and its fifth wheel, the
auditor general, be considered person
ally, man for man. Mr.. Gibson has
retained office during two years, not
because of the community's friendship
but in spite of it. The reason chiefly
responsible for the national humiliation
Of his incumhency is one that men vastly
better than he are primarily responsible
for. Mr.. Gibson has been permitted
to disgrace the highest place in the
kings gift because he carried out, to
the very letter, policy begun by the
public-spirited and honorable-inten-
toned ministers who proceeded him.
Mr. Gibson has been Tho logical
sequence Of Ministers Wilder and
Carter--two good men gone wrong, in
unconscious obedience to the precept
OF lgnatius de Loyala The end
justihes the means The conjunction
of three men made Mr.. Gibson
supreme, up to certain point. 1t
became necessary to Mr.. Claus
Spreckels that he should "use" King
kalakaua. 1t became necessary to
King Kalakaua that he should "use
MIR. Gibson. 1t was necessary to Mr..
Gibsons retention in power that he
should be used. Popular belief points
to recent recombination Of the atti-
tude OF the triumvirate-M Gibson
and Mr. Spreckels seem to have com.
bined to "use the king. Let us hope
it is merely the FIRST act in that inevita-
BILE dissolution, which is the last chapter
in the story of every uiumvirate in
history.
