southwark, "Clear the way; we are
coming"
Beyond Bellevue the o. S. l..
Branch track makes a very slight
curve. Engineer Frank Sargent was
rolling smoothly toward town, when
smash went his cab windows, off
went his Scotch cap, and red line of
liquid spattered and besmeared the
cabs inside. AS he looked about for
the strange intruder, voice, as from
far out on the prairie, mournfully
sarg, "Clear the way; we are com
ing"
The engineer looked out long upon
the prairie. He heard that voice once
more; the report of pistol-shot was
family heard, borne upon the bosom
of the breeze; thin mist, like dust
puff, was seen, then a flash and a
vanish, like the gait OF a jack rabbit
when the greyhound pursues.
Within II minutes from the stroke
of the Bellevue clock the TIMES re
ceived this telegram from Shoshone:
SHosuoNE, March 6.--Tom here,
unhurt; struck stone building. Ma
zepp disiigured-soon repaired.

4 SUGGESTION TO SACRAMENTO

The San Francisco Spirit Of the Times
suggests that during the stay of the Grand
Army of the Republic delegates in this
State in August, Sacramento could do her
self honor and the State service by holding
fruit and flower exhibition. The sug-
gestion is worthy of consideration. Pro-
vided the attendance of large number of
the delegates and visiting strangers can be
secured for one or two days, the material
benefit of such an exhibition would be
very great. We are aware that efforts are
TO be put forth in other quarters to invite
the attention Of these visitors to particular
sections. Il would be matter of no great
cost on the part of this people to get up
the proposed exhibition. The time Of the
visit win be propitious; examples Of the
fruits OF the State would unquestionabIy
be furnished by the people, and the cost
incident to the affair would be only such
as would be entailed by the placing of the
goods on exhibition, for We are assured
that the transportation question would
scarcely be involved. The chief assur-
ance needed to warrant the effort is that
the attendance Of the strangers can be Sc
cured 1t is expected that several thou
sand Eastern people viii be in the State at
that time They will be here as sight-seers
and inquirers, especially into our resources.
They should be afforded every opportunity
to inform themselves thoroughly. 1t has
been thrown out as an additional sugges-
ton that great numbers will pass through
this city going and coming, and that many
viii stop over, if any sufficient Involvement
is held out. 1t is also added that it would
be entirely feasible to charter steamers
and give the visitors full opportunity to
visit the city if the fruit and flower exhi-
bition is made All these are worthy of
consideration. While we deem the plan
feasible, and are confident that if under
taken it will greatly repay, it would be
unwise to pronounce positively upon it
until it has been more fully examined and
all possible objections to the scheme have
been advanced. We concur with the SPIRIT
in the expression that if such an effort is
made it should be open to representation
of the whole State, aud not merely local
Certainly nowhere else can such an exhi-
bition be more easily made. This is a
fruit-shipping center, and its geographical
location and its relation to lines Of trans
portation give it peculiar advantages for
the purpose indicsted. AS to the ability
OF Sacramento to handle the scheme, that
is not at all in issue. Our people have too
often demonstrated their capacity for such
affairs to leave that part of the plan in
any doubt whatever.

THE CRAFT HONItIDE.
Statement by Sheriff Beamer of an Inter
view Between Craft and sill.

A Woodland correspondent of the San
Francisco Post gives the result of an inter-
view with Sheriff Beamer, who was asked
about the particulars of the interview be-
tween Craft and Sill at which the Sheriff
was present. He said g am glad to have
q chance to make statement to such re-
liable paper as the Post, because l think
likely have been blamed by some people
for going with Craft to find Mr.. SILL but |
did so TO prevent an encounter. | knew
Craft would hunt him up, and ! felt Ger
tain from the way he talked that he would
provoke Sill to assaulting him. and was
satisfied that it would result in serious diff
ficulty. Sill and Miss Harlan We're mar
ried on Monday, the LIST of the month. and
on Tuesday this meeting took place. Craft
met me on the street and told me he want
ed me 10 go with him TO see Sill. He was
very much excite |, and made all sorts of
charges against Mrs. Sill. He told me that
he was going to tell the whole thing to Sill
| tried to persuade him not to see SILL but
to so back to Sacramento to his work and
drop the whole thing When I found he
was bent On going thought | had better
go along and prevent difficulty if could.
We found Sill in Spaulding's drug store
Craft was very abusive. He made the most
scandalous charges against Mrs Sill, and
tainted Sill with being too much of coward
to resist what he said. Sill made several
attempts to attack Craft, but | prevented
him. Graft had asked me for permission
to carry weapon. told him that could
not give him any authority that there was
no law against man carrying weapon,
and asked him if he did not already carry
one. He replied, Not always | was
satisfied that he was armed at the time 1t
was evident that he expected to bring about
a collision but it was Sill that he wanted
to fight. He did not have any idea that
Mr.. Harlan would do anything After Mr..
Harlan came in town Friday night, Graft
was warned that he had better be careful.
He said, Oh, the old man won't do any,
thing. | have no trouble with the old
man. Every one was expecting trouble
from the way in which Craft was talking.
and consequently the shooting, while it
struck every one with horror. did not take
them much by surprise. The people gem
orally thought that Sill would be the one
to DO it, however. Craft was hunting for a
fight and have found that when a man is
hunting for fight he generally finds some
one to accommodate him | don't think
any one hlames Mr.. Harlan much for what
he did. No one will blame a man for de-
Tending the reputation of his daughter or
OF any other woman Of his family

A RESPONSIBLE MINISTRY

The system OF a responsible Ministry has
been urged by not few as a supposed
remedy for many Of the political ills OF
which we complain in the United States.
Abbott Lawrence Lowell, in the Febru-
airy Atldntic, is at pains, in lengthy article,
to show that 9 system of responsible Min
istry cannot be grated into our institu-
tions without endangering the very feat
ures OF our form of government which we
contemplate with most pride. England,
with Ministers who administer so long as
Parliament approves, and who resign SO
soon as any material want of confidence is
expressed is, of course, the best example
of Government of that order. Mr..
Lowell makes the points that President
elected by the people, but responsible to
Congress, would rarely be able to lead the
latter. If some other officer of the Adj
ministration became leader, then the
President would be virtually stripped of

I . STRANGE land thew will bring with them

in strange land they will bring with them
the civilization and confraternities OF the
section from whence they come. The
members will feel a mutually of strength
and dependence. Each viii realize that
some one is near having a kindly interest
in him, and willing to aid and care for
him in emergencies. They will surround
themselves at once with some of the COM
forts of life not always deemed necessaries,
and this is very strong point in favor OF
the colony system.
Given, a colony capital-organizaticn with
one or two or three thousand acres, with
water-right attachments, and so soon as a
dozen families occupy as many subdivis-
ions the entire remainder of subdivisions
viii vastly appreciate in value, and the
colony promoters will thus receive large
reward and security for their investment
But they must all sell these lands cheaply
and on easy and long terms, for ii is in
the numerical strength of the settlements
that capital is TO find its chief reward.
The wise colony promoters should also
provide for the accommodation Of the col
onists with loans, at the proper time, to be
put into further permanent Improvements
That is, it must be possible for these out
side properties to secure small advances or
easy terms, after enhanced value has beer
given by settlement and labor.
1t needs no remarkable precedence to fore
cast the beneficial results that must fioH
from such systems. They viii solve fol
us the problem, What is to become of the
vast amount Of water storage and ditchine
in the mountains originally intended fol-
mining? They viii give us population O
the right kind, producing and consuming,
and in the speediest manner. Compared tC
the system of scattered settlement of indi
vidual, unaided and unorganized settle
ment, and it viii be seen at once TO posses,
incalculable advantages, not only for the
settlers and for the investors, but for the
whole State Of California.

THE OPPORTUNITY FOB CAPITAL-AE
IMMEDIATE NEED.

The desirable immigrant Is coming 10
the Sacramento valley and the northern
and central foothill region But it
IS one thing to invite aud secure
the coming of the new population, and
another to retain it. Unless we take the
proper initiatory steps 10 the latter end,
the newcomers may drift from Us into
sections offering advantages for some i'm
mediate reward to industry without the
privations of unaided effort What, then,
shall we do? With the example of south
ern California and Colorado before us, we
have no difficulty in answering the ques-
ton.
We must enter upon the colony system,
and to this end, large and small capitalists
not mere land speculators-should i'm
mediately organize to prepare for the
reception OF the immigrant, and secure
his permanency among US. The colony
system made Colorado and Kansas
what they are Those States are
dotted all over with these rural
organizations, every one of which has
proven successful In the south of our
own State the same system has also been a
pronounced success. When the intending
settler arrives, and views the land, the first
question that presents itself to him is,
How long must wait before can receive
some contribution from the soil toward my
support" If the time promises to be
extended, and he finds that he must labor
hard and long and alone and live on his
reserve funds meanwhile, and do all
things himself, necessary to make his new
possession reasonably desirable, he will
naturally turn to those sections where
organization has cleared the way for him,
and lessened the preparatory labor
Now, the one imperative necessity for
the retention of the expected population
Is to secure the formation of numerous
companies for the purpose of laying of
colony plats, upon tracts secured originally
in large bodies. These organizations
where it is needed, must bring water to
the lands, make water privileges a part
and parcel of each subdivision title, and Sc
segregate the tracts that they may be
occupied in small parcels-from twenty
acres upwards. These tracts should be
grouped in some order with relation to a
colony center, with perpetually secured
free roads, avenues and byways These
subdivisions must be sold in preference
always to colony groups, and never tc
spectators, and always upon such easy
terms that the entire capital of the i'm.
migrant will not be absorbed before sonA
reward results. He will thus be enabled
while waiting the maturity OF his vine:
and trees, to produce some speedy growth
necessary to the support of his family, and
that will afford him some small income.
These colonies from rural eenters will
develop into villages with species of con
fraternal community interest. School.
will early be maintained, and local supply
stores and churches and halls will follow
in time. The water rights must be so at
tached THAT the colony may, in time, be
come the sole possessor thereof, and b.
finally free of all supervision and incum
brance. Groups will come on and tax.
these small tracts as groups, for obvious
easons. They will not be wholly stranger

OPEN AND CLOSED DOORS.

The sentiment grows that the United
States Senate will make an advance step
in abolishing the secresy of the executive
session. 1t is said that number of the
Republican Senators favor the change and
warmly advocate it. 1t would appear to
be wise action, and subject to exception
only when the country would be endan-
gered by publicity of details brought be-
fore the Senate, or when treaty stipula-
tons are being discussed 1t is said that
the open door rule will prevent that free
dom of expression concerning appoint
ments and combinations that is desirable
and necessary to the disclosure of the
truth. But it may be replied to this that
the Senator should be of such metal that
he need not fear free expression concern
ing the fitness of appointees. The
spen-door discussion of nominees of the
President will result in greater care being
exercised in naming them, while greater
efficiency will be secured in public serv-
ants, and the standard of Office elevated.
But over and above these considerations, is
not the country entitled to know what its
representatives advance for or against APP
pointees Is there, in brief, any sufficient
reason, in a republic, for the continuance
of the custom of secresy in these matters !?
