TIE time was when the reading pubic turned away from the tele- graphic news columns of the daily paper in disgust and disappointment If the usual news of horrible tragedy ID Oregon did not appear in ell its ghastly details, and the source of the pabulum for their morbid appetites is now trans ferred to San Francisco. A procession of crime seems to stalk through its dim thoroughfares, holding mternecive car nival smld the dancing shcdows of fog and Saslight, n contempt of the law snd its guardians; and human life possesses no value nor assurance of safety. Much of the blame for this wretched state of aifHrs lies at the doors of the people themselves, who have consplred 10 make law mockery and justice farce. The Jails and prison cells of San Francesca are full of depraved criminals who look forward to the brief time when the bolts will be drawn and the doors opened wide fer their voluntary exit into the field in which their genius makes its hideous record in human blood. To the shame and eternal disgrace of San Francisco the sword of Justice is par. slyZed and the life is almost tramplsd out Of its prostrate form. It rarely hap pens that murderer is convicted of h!s crime, end evsn though some CtraDge and unseen influence should move to wrath the lowering Nemesis, its avengIng hand is stayed by 3 sentiment that is akin tO the faith that satan protects his own" The city of the golden gate must undergo n moral revolution and boom the hemp market with spirit that notes out just and swift punishment for crime. There is work for the crude court of Judge Lynch and his jury of vigilantes, whose rule in former days stamped out crime and out rage when more difficulties surrounded the execution of its mandates than now exist. Tear away the fiimsy wall of tecL-icglities and callousei sentiment and remove the premium offered for crime whiie there is yet c chance for needed redemption.

TuE Board of Supervisors have per em2torily ordered the County Treasurer to advertise for bids for the sale ot the Narfow Gauge railroad bonds nov 10 aiB hands. according to the provisions of the law. As we understand 1t, the treasurer has refrained from obeying their order pending R research as to his res sgOms.biliiy in the matter should fu- turs trouble arise therefrom, and not from any contempt of the board. We confess we can see no risk to the Conn ty Treasurer nor 70 lis baaismen in .b5ylng tae order of tho supeEvlsors. particularly as his successor III office vill bo required to complete the trans action and reserves the right to reject any and all bids. He assumes no re- sponsibility ia merely obeying the order to advertIse for bids. as no tnancIal transaction is actually involved in that act. Whatever question the future will bring forth will involve only the sue cess of the present Treasurer.
