THE COURSE OF THE PRESS.

The San Francisco AhG congratulates
the country on the fact that the business
classes East and West are stirred deeply
concerning the course of the press of the
country A correspondent of the Wash
ington Post, after extended inquiry for
opinions among the business men Of the
East, found almost unanimous complaint
that the majority Of the Eastern press is
neglectful of vital interests of the country.
and are devoting the most of their energy
to the delectation of those who prefer to
satisfy the demands of morbid taste for
the sensational He declares, that the ex-
preston was common, that it appeared as
if the papers we're published chiefly for
"dudes Anarchists and pot-house poll
ticians," and "for the criminal classes"
1t is instanced, that though the reporters
never once got inside the cottage where
the President and his wife retired ON their
wedding, there were sent within five days
over 100000 words by telegraph to the
papers, Of wedding news. Three-fourths of
this stuff was made out of whole cloth.
The business men complain that while
there has been some debate regarding the
tariff proposition, the silver question, state
of trade, the shipping measures and like
topics, still for every line on these
important matters there have been pub
lished columns of rot about the pugilists,
ward politicians, the Irish plotters, the
froth Of society, and the criminal elements.
The satisfaction of the Alta is found in its
belief that the business men are largely
responsible for all this. The press demand
volume in circulation and take the easiest
way of obtaining it, for that is also what
the business advertiser insists upon as the
price Of his patronage. But now that the
business classes are awakening to the fact
that there is something else besides guam
tity essential, our contemporary implies
by its remarks that they have but to indi-
cate the desirability of change of policy,
since the remedy Is wholly IN their hands.
There is truth in all this, and the
presentation of the truth always results in
some yield of value. The press has unques-
tionably run to vicious extremes in recent
years in feeding the taste for the sensa-
tional. A single so-called .sliven news
paper is enough to corrupt the press of a
large neighborhood. 1t fills its space with
cheap illustrations, and its columns with
sycophantic personalities, and with gaudy
and demoralizing sensational matter, TO
the exclusion of text that is fit TO be read
in the household. A contemporary finding
its rival apparently on the high road to
popularity, and installing notoriety for
public approval, enters the same field, and
q brisk competition in the tawdry, the

When call is issued for meeting to con-
slider ways and means of assassination, that
is or should be an unlawful call, and there
ought to be power to then and there in
terfere and prevent the conspiracy that ii
is announced is to be undertaken. If this
is dealing with Anarchists as ordinary
criminals well and good. If the law is
not sufficient for that accomplishment at
this time, then it should be made COM
petent to that end. That is, as we under
stand it, all that is demanded-the sup
preston of license, not the infringement
of guaranteed personal liberty to speak, OF
to write and publish.

STATE CENTRAL COMMITTEES,
No. 4I9 California street,
Saw EpANcrGco Time 81 1856.


SAN FRANCISCO, June %, 1886.
DEAg SIR The Republican State Con
vention has been called to meet at Los An
geles, Wednesday, August 25th, for the pur'
pose of nominating full State ticket. LII
view of the importance OF the coming cleo
ton, and its effect on the future of the Re.
publican party, both national and State, II
is respectfully suggested that the greatest
care be exercised by the various counties
in the selection of delegates to their respec-
tive nominating conventions; that the best
representative men be sent to the Conven-
tions. both State and local, and the strong
est and most available candidates nomlna,
ted for State offices; but especially should
great care be exercised in making iegisla-
tive nominations. Much of our success
this year will depend on the personnel Of
our ticket.
1t is desirable, in fact it is of the utmost
importance, that the State Convention snail
be fully represented in person, ana nor by
proxy. and that as far as practicable the
several counties urge the personal attend
ance of their delegates.
AS the Convention cannot proceed with
its organization without the credentials oil
the delegates, il is to be hoped that the
various county committees use the utmost
diligence in forwarding to the Secretary OF
this committee the names oftheir delegates
to the State Convention.
The late date at which the Convention
meets necessitates being thoroughly organ
lied for conducting the campaign before
the meeting of the Convention, And 1t is
suggested that every county will. as early
as practicable. have its County Central
Committee formed and ready for work.
You will please forward, as soon as
soon as elected, the names of your new
County Central Committee, with their
postal address, designating the Chairman
and Secretary Of the same. By order Of
the committee.
A. P. WILLIAMS, Chairman.
JAMES r. FINLAYsoN, Secretary.

The HARLAN CASE.
Several Hours of Observation-Disclosures
Until Tuesday.

Until Tuesday.
In the Harlan case at Woodland yester-
day the entire forenoon was consumed in
argument of the question of the admissi-
bility of the statement made by Sill TO de-
PENDANT on Thursday before the homicide.
Defense contended that everything that Sill
/ told defendant was admissible for the pur-
pose of illustrating what occurred at the
Byrns Hotel at the precise time of the hon.
iclde and as tending to show the exact posi-
ton of defendant and deceased when they
there met; that the witness is not the
judge OF what portion of the conversation
shall be given in evidence; that when a
conversation related to relations between
defendant and deceased, or between de-
ceased and defendants daughter, when the
conversation contained statements of
threats, the jury are entitled to the very
words spoken, and all of them, with a
view of determining the matter in question
as to which, in all probability, commenced
the assault.
The prosecution objected and claimed
that the evidence should be confined SIM
ply to the relation of threats uttered by de-
ceased against defendant or his daughter.
The Court decided that the testimony was
not relevant for the purpose proposed, but
would allow the witness to answer as to
any communication he made to defendant
in reference to any threats and hostile de-
monstrations indicating an intention TO use
physical force in any way upon defendant
or any member of his family.
The defense then proved that the state
ment was continuous and consecutive: that
it contained narrative of threats and hos
tile movements by deceased.
Mr.. Highton then, under the plea of not
guilty, asked the witness to state the entire
communication then made to defendant
and to do it consecutively, and he offered
the evidence for ali relevant purposes.
The Court intimated that the evidence
was relevant to show the state of mind of
defendant at the time of shooting. The
prosecution admitted that the evidence
would be admissible, if it were preceded
by proof ofinsanity.
The defense expressly disclaimed any
claim to the defense of insanity, but con-
tended that the jury had right to know
the state of defendants mind, and to show
a reason why defendant might have desired
10 see and talk to deceased to repel the i'm
putation of lying in wait.

ther hearing was continued till Tuesday

THE strike fever is "taking," as they
say out West Even the clerks of the
Postal Railway Service at the East under
took to strike recently. They conspired to
get as many clerks and agents as possible
to solemly agree to tender their resigna-
tions-to be held in blank by committee
-on given day, unless certain terms OF
their dictation were complied with by the
Federal Government. Il refused, they
were to prevent the filling of the places by
intimidation and all the usual hurrah
boys" of the regular simon-pure strike or
der. The scheme went on finely for a
time, and was just ready to be touched oil,
when the Postal Department, which had
been all the while aware Of the matter,

The Republican State Central Com
mittee has issued an address urging upon
the members of the party the necessity of
choosing thoroughly representative dele
gates to the State and local Conventions,
and especially of selecting legislative can
didates with great circumspection, as so
much depends upon the personnel of the
Republican ticket. This is good advice,
but no more necessary this year than in
any other. The committee does well,
however, to call the attention of party
men to the need for good nominations at
any time. The committee might well
have advised cleanliness in the primaries,
and have urged upon the party voters the
necessity of coming out to the primary
meetings and of making themselves felt.
There is never any danger of weak or bad
men being selected, if the mass of the
party electors do their duty-for the mass
is DESTROYS of clean politics and fair deal

Here, then, we see the result of misfor-
tune and the consequence of compulsory
service to the State. The unfortunate man
stands with one foot in the grave, and
hopes he mey be able to keep the other out
until the trial terminates. Then he will
seek its sacred seclusion, to there remain
until the solemn hour of midnight, when
he will gladly emerge to haunt the lawyers
who have reduced him to a condition so
pitiable.

There have been fewer sales in this local.
