by "freeze-out" process-making 1t DIS
agreeable for the mass of the members to
remain-and the few finally left divided
the property. Had its property title de-
pended on the execution of specific trust,
it IS obvious to the dullest that no diver
sion of ii could have been possible. The
citizens who subscribe to the 100000 en-
dowment fund for the California Museum
Association will, unGuestionably, have the
endowment secured beyond possibility of
diversion, and the business mems commit
tee appointed to raise the fund sill insure
that wise provision-one that enters into
all such trusts. But all this is matter in
which there is a world Of precedent and
example, and the new institution will be
made as safe for its ends and purposes and
the people Of Sacramento, as any of the
many institutions of like character that do
honor to the people of the Eastern States.
The matter demanding immediate at
tention is the raising of the endowment
fund. No.g is the time to do it. 1t should
not be delayed until enthusiasm cools. Not
day should be lost. We have perfect
faith in the capacity of the business men to
accomplish their task, and that they will
do it. There has been no other of which
they have reason to he SO proud. 1t is one
in which self-sacrifce on the part of every
member of the committee viii be patriotic,
and to which they and their descendants
can point with justifiable pride. Their
labor is to be of the kind that will grow
brighter, and augment in Importance and
take on new honors as time goes by. The
record they are about to make can be made
one of unfading glory. No man can en-
gage in loftier work than that which is
for the benefit of his fellow man. The
timid talk about the task being heavy
one should cease. Obstacles grow less for
midable the closer we grapple them. Such
| a city as Sacramento, which has time and
again risen superior to the assaults of the
elements, has lived down envy and
Jealousy, and battled against powerful foes
and made, at Il far greater cost, the State
Agricultural Society what it is, is capable
of the lesser work OF diverting portion Of
the means of its people to an Investment
within its own bounds, for its own good
and certainly viii do 50, and that within
less time than that allotted for the special
duty before it. Such opportunities as now
presented to this people occur but once III
an age. With the completion of the en-
dowment fund our city will take rank
among the first in the land, and will in
vite the attention and commentator of the
world, and from these will flow practical
benefits that only the few now anticipate
but which thought viii disclose to every
one who gives the matter ordinary reHec

THE FRUIT RATES.

A few discontented people, who would
be dissatisfied if they were given the
whole world, have received the reduction
by the transportation lines on fruit ship
ments with sneers, and have through the
radical press and otherwise insisted that
the reductions are immaterial, and value
less to fruit-shippers and growers. These
snarling people evidently think they I'M
derstand all the factors of carriage better
than the carriers. They are so short
sighted rs to fail to see that the interest of
the rail lines of State lie in the deYeI-
opment Of the greatest possibilities of the
country that what every carrier wants is
the greatest possible volume of freight
coming and going, and that the greater
the production of marketable commodities
the greater the interest of the carrier in
the country. It is unthinkaIIc, therefore,
that the California railroads should desire
to limit or prevent the going forward OF
our products, At the meeting of the Hor-
ticultural Society in San Francisco last
week this question of the materiality OF
the late reductions in fruit rates was dis
cussed, and resolution was adopted, with
but few dissenting votes, thanking the
transportation companies for the reduc-
tions made. Evidently the horticulturists
know theirown business a good deal better
than the self-constituted advocates who
claim to speak for them.

THE ENDOWMENT FUND.

Elsewhere We reproduce the major por-
ton Of an article from the San Francisco
Chronicle, in which that journal admits the
justice Of the criticisms Of the RECORD
Union regarding the Chronicles claim that
the CrocI;er Art Gallery shouId have been
given 70 san Francisco. As such lrankness
is phenomenal with the Chronicle We re-
produce It's salient points. But the C7,ron-
icie is only satirical when it declares that
san Francisco would not raise $4,000 Cor
The purpose Of museum. 1t makes the
declaration only TO lay on the lash. The
truth is san Francisco can raise ten times
the sum for the purpose, and viii do SO
when the time IS ripe The Chronicle pro
posed some time ago to have museum
fund started, but II was its proposal only,
and the manner Of the proposition WAS
Objectionable. There was no association
formed, nor organization around which
effort could lie gathered; il was crude
proposition without definite head and no
sign Of a body. t'naSkcd and without any
proposal to them, over year ago, a single
collection costing $4,000 was given to that
city by Of lis public-spirited citizens,
and since then several costly collections
have been offered and will be delivered
when the matter Of erecting a building
takes Oh definite form, Land has been
rendered already, and wealthy men and
poor men alike nave signifed their inten-
1ion to build up museum. II is certain
that San Francisco will have grand
museum in due tlmc and that her people
viii prove no less energetic than those Of
Sacramento. Their dissemination has not
been manifest simply because few weeks
ago the Chronicle urged that the rich men
of the place proceed at once with the work,
and that they have not done so. For the
bare suggestion OF a museum let that Jour
nal have The credit due it, but the people
of San Francisco should not be Judged by
the standard it sets up.
In this connection it has hccn suggested
that in the endowment about to lie raised
in Sacramento, there should be guarantee,
that at no future time any Dashaway
Hall" diversion shall be consammated. @
course that security will be given 1t i,
perfectly easy. The srant will prayids
against any possible diversion of the gift
This attaches to about all cndowments il
the country, and We believe the Dashawa,
Hall case il the only one where trus
has been left unguardcd But that was ;
phenomenal one. The Dashaway Societ,
began as small temperance organization
without incorporation. 1t acquired ii
nroperty, not by gift, or any form of en-
dowment, but during a long term of year
and from gradual accumulation Of dues fol
membership and the like, and by apprecia

ARRESTED AT NEW ORLEANs.-The San
Francisco 1Hd says that Kate Homer Clay
ton, who delivered several lectures in Sac
ramcnto and throughout this section of the
State last year, has been arrested at New
Orleans ON charge of obtaining money
under false pretenses preferred by DR.. En-
erins, of Denver, Col. 1t is claimed by
DR.. Emerins and his friends that she is
fraud, and that she beat more than one per
son in Denver out of considerable money
She represented to Dr. Emerins that she
had s., 600 worth of family diamonds on
deposit with Tiffany q Co., the well-known
jewellers and diamond dealers of New York
city. She gave him an order on Tiffany &
Co for the diamonds, which he was to hold
as security for the payment of $3.50 in
money which he loaned her. This transac-
ton took place i'll July, 1888, and when the
note became due which she gave for the
$50, the willy Kate was gone and the
money was not forthcoming. According to
| the terms of the contract the diamonds for
which the doctor held her order became
his He went to New York city and pre-
scented his order, but Tiffany II Co. in
formed him that the woman had 10 dia-
monds on deposit with them, and never
had any, and that they knew nothing about
her Kate has been chased by the detectives

popped upon in New Orleans.

The Croker Art Gallery.

nj
A meeting of residents of Sacramento
has been called to raise the required 500
600 to enable the museum of that city to
avail itself Of Mrs. Crockers generous gift
of her gallery. and, though the sum called
for is large. there are rich men enough at
the Capital of the State 10 subscribe it. Ii
is to be hoped they will succeed. We had
rather the gallery had come to San Fran
cisco. because we think it would have done
more good here than it can do in an interior
town; but if we cannot have 1t we should
| be pleased to hear that it has become public
property at Sacramento 1t is unlikely that
for many years to come an equally valuable
collection of pictures will be gathered in
any Pacific city, and it will be gratifying
TO know that ii is placed where it can never,
under any circumstances, be scattered or
distributed.
The Sacramento RECORD L MON, referring
| in rather an ill-tempered way TO our pre-
vious remarks on this subject, makes some
observations which are just. 1t says; San
Francisco has no need of the collection.
She is capable if tenth part of her boasts
are sincere, of erecting an art gallery and
filling it. > The metropolis should
muster up the energy necessary to founding
such an institution. The Sacramento AS
ISOLATION was founded some months ago
and the determination to build 1t up was
acted upon with phenomenal vigor and
resolution to succeed. San Francisco has
shown no such energy This Is all quite
true San Francisco has been outstripped
in energy by Sacramento, and the difference
between the two cities will become still
more apparent if the Sacramentans succeed
in raising the 800, 600 they now need. Judg-
ing from the cold shoulder which the rich
men of San Francisco have given to the

EDS. RECORD MON: Lewis O'Neal was
convicted of murder in the first degree last
week in the District Court A motion for
new trial was yesterday oyerruled by
Judge Webster. He thereupon sentenced
him to be hanged on May q, 1885. A brief
history of the crime for which he is to pay
the extreme penalty is as follows Last No
vess Der as one of cur citizens, Lewis Nc
Daniel, was passing up street, and when
within a few feet of his house, some party
fired upon him with shotgun, over a
dozen buckshot taking effect in the left side
of the head. After living about an hour he
expired without uttering word. Suspicion
at once fastened itself upon O'Neal, who
was known to have had some words with
Mcdaniel O'Neal thinking to throw off
suspicion, mingled with the crowd who had
gathered out of curiosity around the muir
dered man. Hewas at once arrested. is
rumored that he has made a confession inn
plcating the wife of Mcdaniel Most of
our people seem to think that she is equally
guilty with 0'Neal, as she showed no signs
of grief whatever when informed of the
dreadful tragedy and then she had been
quite intimate with 0'Neal. The sentence
seems to please most of our people, as ii
was cold. blooded and unprovoked muir

WHAT \ STOLEN Doc DID.-A farmer
having sold flock of sheep to dealer,
lent him his dog to drive them home, a
distance of thirty miles, desiring him to
give the dog meal at the journeys end,
and tell it to go home. The drover found
the dog so useful that he resolved to steal
it, and instead of sending it back he locked
it up. The collie grew sulHy and at last
effected its escape. Evidently deemlng
the drover had no more right to detain
the sheep than he had to detain Itself, the
honest creature went into the held, col
lected all the sheep that had belonged to
his master, and to that persons intense as

the reply of De Giers, concerning the
Afghan frontier, is on its way to England,
aud that it is distinctly favorable to peace,
for which we must thank the firmness of
England and the imminence of the meeting
at Rawul- Pindi. There is increasing ground,
it continues, for believing that some re-
source of diplomacy will enable Russia to
abandon her claims without loss of pres
tige. Ifnot, England's duty is still clear,

inapplcable

between the Uruguayan Government and

priests who preach against the Govern
ment's attitude in regard to civil marriage.
The Bishop declared that he could not ac-
cept the judgment of the police officers as
to what sermons would come under the
ban of the law and merit punishment by
Imprisonment, and he has consequently di-
rected the priests not to preach in any
church upon any subject The Bishop has
also asked Monsignor L'Matera, Apostolic
delegate resident in this city. to intervene.

THosE who have thought that the divi-
sion of the English people on local ques-

mental administration had weakened the
patriotic spirit of Englishmen, or lessened
their loyalty to the crown, now see how
sadly mistaken they have been. England
responds 20 the Queens call for the re-

men-at-arms is to be feared. They are
rallying to the recruiting posts with an en-
thusiasm that tcstiies how deep-seated is

no warm sympathies for England in he1
