THE LATEST WOMAN CASE.

If the story of Mrs. McCord, as pub
lished in the Alta, is true, it proves the
wife of Dr. McDonald-who killed David
Mish in San Francisco Tuesday evening
to be fiendish. Duplicity is too mild
term to apply to her conduct, as related by
Mrs. McCord In brief substance, the
story is that the woman was engaged to
Mish that she received his bounty and
treated him as an afianced husband; that
at the same time she agreed to marry
DIR. Mcdonald, and subsequently was mar
ried to him; that the marriage was kept
secret, and she continued to receive the
visits of Mish, and, more than that, con-
sorted in suspicious manner with other
men, Now. on the assumption that Mrs
McCord, whose circumstantial account is
very impressive, has told the truth, Mish
has been killed for a most unworthy
woman, who deserves public execration.
If, on the other hand, Mrs. McCord is
vilifying Theresa Mcdonald, the latter
has wrongs that cry to heaven for re-
dress. All in all, the tragic killing, the
romantic stories about the parties and the
mystery surrounding the case, all con-
tribute to make it stranger far than
fiction

THE PRESS AND LYING.

The Chicago Times is given TO plain
speaking. 1t does not hesitate to indorse
the remarks of the President that the press
is greatly given TO lying. The REcoRp-
UNION agreed that the criticism of Mr..
Cleveland was just in many respects, and
especially as applied to that indefinite au-
thority, "a. reliable correspondent" and
"a Washington Special Some of our
San Francisco contemporaries have ex-
pressed the opinion that the President wa.
extravagant in his utteranees, and that the
facts do not warrant his denunciation. But
the Times, the opportunities of which for
observing the conduct and expression of the
press of the country and for testing the
accuracy OF It's statements, are not sur
passed by those of any journal, declares
that the President bluntly gave fitting ut
terance to plain truth when he said that
never before in the history of the country
has there been so much newspaper living.
nor never has it tiourished anywhere as Il
does IN this country. The Ilines, which
claims and exemplifies its claim to high
regard for the journalism of the land. de-
clares that lying is the preponderating vice
OF the American press of this dav. and
particularly of that large section of the
press that is commonly distinguished by
the appellation of the party organ. The
party press, from the very nature of its
being, cannot discuss public topics and men

HONESTY THE BEST POLICY.

The San Jose Mercury raises the note of
warning against the beginning of one of
those periodical human currents that flow
out Of the denser populations into sec
lions more or less remote, the natural adj
vantages Of which have been over-colored
by shrewd and constituencies spectators.
One of these tidal waves of restless home
seekers is rolling on to Florida, and already
the cry of the disappointed and duped is
heard. 1t is, perhaps, true that deception
and swindling are inseparable from the
peopling of any new country. The greed
and cupidity of men cannot always be re-
strained. The present instance of over
color and consequent disappointment and
suffering had its parallels in the European
output of population to the New World
one and two centuries ago. Instances in
number are recorded in the early history
OF the new world, of deluded colonies. of
expectation raised by roseate pencilings
beyond the possibility of realization.
The distinction between that period and
tins, however, is TO be found in the en-
larged facilities of the present for obtain
ing correct information. The British col
ony so egregiously swindled by Florida
land agent, of which our dispatches re-
Gently gave detailed and pitiful account
Is entitled to less sympathy in its suffer
ing and loss than if the ready means for
informing itself before venturing had not
presented. Indeed, it is in evidence
that the colonists who were left
to starve upon barren lands
and in the midst of malarial swamps, were
timely warned, but they took no heed. It
: % a matter Of comparatively small cost.
and but slight delay, for any considerable
group of intending settlers to send forward
an agent from among themselves to spy out
the land. If any colony is duped at this
day it is the result of failure TO exercise
ordinary caution. Nevertheless, we second
most heartily the advice of our contem-
porary to our Own people to crush all at
tempts to over-color representations con-
corning California, in the invitation to
desirable Immigrants. Very often, very
early and very recently the REcoRD-UNIoN
has pointed out the certain injury that
must result from permitting untruthful or
exaggerated and partial statements conce, n
ing our soil and its yield, our climate and
the resources of the State and the methods
OF labor necessary to success, to be put forth.
Califomians can afford to stand by the
truth. They can afford to present both
sides. They cannot afford to conceal from
those they invite the obstacles to be en-
eountered in immigrating to the State, and
IN wringing reward from the soil. If no
higher motive actuates us than that of self
interest, this is case in which it is
demonstrable that honesty is the best
policy.

by him and supported by a vigorous speech,
upon the supposition that it would prevent
stakeholder from purchasing fruit from
other stockholders, but this was an error.
Mr.: Estee offered the following to be
added = Procided, the Fruit Union shall
not purchase any vegetables or fruit from
anyone" Carried unanimously.
Mr.. De Long offered the following addi-
ton to the section g Prorided further, that
All Stockholders shipping through the
Union shall be required to file good and
sufficient bond with the Secretary of the
Union, to indemnify the said Union against
all losses for non payment of ireights. or
for any sales from fruit not covering ex-
penses ON his or their Shipments
Drury Melone wanted TO know whether
under this man who put ten boxes of
fruit into carload would have to give a
bond. The general understanding in reply
was that he would.
A vote was then taken on the addition to
the section. and it was almost unanimously
adopted.
The meeting then, at noon, took recess
until P NJ
AFTERNOON SESSION.
Upon assembling in the afternoon dis
position was manifested to conclude the
business OF the meeting as soon as pos
others acting with them, had OBJ
tanned substantially all the changes
in the bylaws required to bring the oper-
atoms of the Union into harmony with
their views. These changes were, first To
take the Union out of the field of buying
and selling fruit, and the risks and obliga-
tons attending thereon second, to guaran-
tee the right of each grower to ship to such
locality and consignee as he pleases; third,
providing that members may surrender
their stock and disconnect themselves from
the Union, and fourth, that stockholders
may purchase fruit from each other.
1t was decided that members shipping
fruit may give good and sufficient guar
antee, instead of bond,' for the pay
ment of freight etc
Upon motion of Mr.. Estee. it was agreed
that the Directors of the Union be prohib-
tied from mourning an Indebtedness to ex-
coed 10000, except for freight The entire
Section Is, pertaining to local Boards of
Trustees, was stricken out Some other
minor changes in the phraseology of the
bylaws were also made. and the whole as
thus revised was then adopted.
Senator William Johnston moved that
the old Board of Directors be reelected,
except that L. c. De Long, of Marin, be
substituted for l.. J. Rose, of Los Angeles

A MATTER OF PRINCIPLE.

When the Democrats objected to the adj
mission of Dakota, because it would aug
ment Republican strength, they confessed
their own ittleness of soul, and a readi-
ness 10 sacrifice principle to party policy.
Now it is proposed that Dakota, Washing
ten and Montana be admitted. Washing
ton and Dakota we know have the requis-
lite qualifications, and we viii assume it to
be true that a correct census justifies the
claim of Montana TO Statehood. If, now,
the Republicans shall resist the admission
of Washington because party strength is
very evenly divided there, and the admis-
sion of Montana because it is Democratic.
they must be placed under the same ban of
condemnation pronounced against their
opponents. We are unwilling to believe
that the great leaders of the party in Con-
gress will descend to this level. They will
consider the graduation of these Terri
tories by merit, and wise governmental, not
party policy.
