A SIMPLE DUTY.

The editor of the San Francisco Aito
California, for rebuking in manly spirit a
scurrilous contemporary of that city for an
infamous libel upon the women of Sacra-
mento, is about to be put to expense
and annoyance consequent upon the pre-
ferment of charge of criminal libel Mr..
Irish spoke from the impulse of manliness
and in the flush of chivalric spirit en-
tered protest against the assault upon
Sacramento wives, mothers and sisters,
that found responsive echo in the heart OF
every man of feeling. 1t would be last
ing reproach upon the sense of justice OF
this people should they fail to hold Mr..
Irish harmless of cost-from loss of time,
annoyance and much trouble they cannot
shield him. The right thing to do is to
employ and send to San Francisco one or
more of our most skilled attorneys to con-
duct the defense of the editor. Less than
this Sacramento cannot afford to do. The
feeling is such here that mere mite contri-
buttons will be sufficient to meet the ex-
penses, since every good man and woman in
the city should esteem it privilege to aid
in defeating the proceedings instituted
against the gentleman whose protest in
their behalf brings upon him this trouble.
There should be no delay in the matter
whatever is done it is necessary to do at
once, and with vigor that will teach
scurrilous libelers and the defamers OF
women that there is limit to even public
endurance

Our neighbors, the Canadians, are
either surprisingly awake to the enforce
ment of laws long in abeyance because of
a quickened sense of the need of society to
protect itself from the vicious elements, or
else they are especially solicitous to prove
to the people of the United States that
they entertain toward us kindly feelings.
The manifestation referred to is the arrest
and conviction in Canada of an American
"boodler" for bringing stolen money over
the border. If the law is what this con-
viction would indicate, its enforcement
will close the gates of the Canadian refuge
against the hosts of embezzlers and Doodle
thieves who scamper across the line and
live in fancied security and in ease in Can
ada upon their ill-got gains. OF course
it must be somewhat difficult to prove that
the money the retired thieves expend In
the Dominion is the money they stole.
But the probabilities are the Courts there
rule that if the theft is established, and
the pilferer is found with money or valu-
ables upon his person while in Canada,
the strong presumption viii be entertained
that the chattels are stolen goods At any
rate the conviction referred to, whether
followed up or not, will send CONSERVATION
into the American camp of boodlers and
plain thieves, defaulters and retired bank
wreckers, whose cities of refuge have here
tofore been beyond the St. Lawrence river.

MIR. CLEVELANp,s MISTAKE.

Mr.. Cleveland made a sad mistake in
defending his tariff scheme from the free
trade charge. 1t would have been wiser
not to have referred to the charge that his
reform plan will operate more favorably
for foreign countries than for our own land.
1t is just possible that the Democratic
leader believes that he is not advocating
free-trade measures, but the London Jour-
mails are satisfied that the drift of the
scheme is directly free-trade-ward. Thus
we have the London Chronicle, after re-
viewing the Presidents letter of accept
ance, saying of Mr. Clevelands theory
He may give it any name he likes, so
long as we know it is in fact crusade for
free trade" while an English Peer writes
to the North American Reuiew: "The
Mills bill, on careful examination, find
| to be a somewhat timid and lettering adj
vance to free trade; but ii shows that
America has turned her back at last to the
mlschieyous teachings of your Websters
and Clays, whose preposterous American
system las they called the protective sys-
tenn, has so long taxed your native popu-
lation for what? For the benefit, really,
of an insignifcantly small class of Amer
lean manufacturers and horde of for
eigners of the lower class (chieiy Irish ],
who form the bulk of your manufacturing
artisans, or mill hands"

In a recent speech General Harrison
said: "a manly assertion by each of his
individual rights, and manly concession
of equal rights to any other man, is the
boast and the law of good citizenship" 1t
was solid truth that he uttered, but how
about the man with the ebony skin down
South? Is there to him manly conces-
sion of his rights as a citizen? Does the
Democratic party, being in power, make
good to him the guarantee of individual
rights? Is it not true that the black man
not only does not exercise the rights of
citizenship before the polls, but that with
fear and trembling he finds safety and coia-
fort in not asserting them? And is it not
true, as General Harrison once so well said,
that the colored citizen in the South needs
protection only from the Democrats of the
South

ward on to the trap, and said 81 die for
giving yor all"
Chief Jailer Rogers and several deputies
proceeded at once to adjust the straps about
his arms and legs. Goldenson removed his
collar himself.
He asked for the picture of Mamie kelley,
which has been in his possession during
his Incarceration. and it was handed to
him. He held it in his left hand by a riD-
bon which was attached TO the top of it.
While his wrists were being strapped to
his body he looked toward the spectators
again and spoke in a loud tone: Good by,
friends and enemies alike"
Deputy Rogers was about to put the moose
over the prisoners head, when Goldenson
whispered something to him. The straps on
his right arm were undone Immediately
and Goldenson took hold of the moose him
self and placed it over his head and around
his neck. This" said he, is proof that
1 loved her."
The strapping being completed, the
black cap was produced. While it was
being tied over his head, Goldenson was
heard to ask for Father Fasanotti, adding
that he wanted to shake hands with him
once more. The priest stepped up and
grasped the pinioned hand warmly
Good-by, Father" came from beneath
the cap.
Good-by, Aleck, and may God bless
you" said the reverend Father, and he
turned away from the awful sight
THE LAST OF GoLDENsoN.
Everything was now in readiness and
Captain Rogers stepped back from the trap
and waved his hand.
The latch clicked and down shot the
form through the opening at 1905 o'clock.
When the body reached the end of the
rope it was noticed that the moose had
slipped around to the back of the neck
There were no movements of the body
however, to indicate that the death was
from strangulation.

The London Times" having a
letter from President Cleveland in
its possession, after quoting passages
from it, editorially says: sit would
hardly be possible to put the free
trade case more clearly or more
strongly. The arguments which
Cleveland uses are those which Cob
den used to employ forty-five years
ago. and which any English free
trader would employ now. They are
purely free-trade arguments, and as
such we are glad to see Cleveland
using them, though sorry for the
popular infatuatiou which makes it
dangerous to give them their right
name.n

IRRIGATION District in Browns valley

1rr1gatlon D1striCt IN BrOWn'S valley.
EDS. RECORD UNION: Last Saturday, Sep.
TENDER Sth, was the day appointed by the
Supervisors of Yuba county for holding
the election of the Browns Valley Irriga.
ton District, to determine whether the PEG.
pie of said district were content to go on in
the same way they have in the past, OF
wake up and go to work with heart and
hand and not let the scheme fall through
That day was gala day for Browns VAL
ley, as people came from every side. Re.
freshments of all kinds were to be had, and
the dinner that was served showed great
skill and care on the ladies' part.
There were 112 votes cast, of which
ninety-seven were for the water. There
were eight officers elected to manage the
affairs of the district. consisting of five Di-
rectors, one Treasurer, one Assessor and
one Collector.
When the result of the votes became
known salute of ten guns was fired in
honor of the event. and the town and sur
rounding country was ablaze with excite
ment. Land in this section is already
bonded for fabulous prices. AS soon as the
ditch is completed, and those beautiful av-
enues of wealth thrown open to coloniza-
ton, people will come-come like they did
to Coloma forty years ago. Here in q few
years the industrious emigrant can sit I'M
der the shade of his own fig and vine and
see on all sides trees loaded with ripe, de-
licious fruits.
As soon as the votes were counted they
were packed up and sent to Marysville, to
be counted by the Board of Supervisors,
after which there will be another meeting,
to authorize the district to issue bonds.

very merciful and humane system arises
the opportunities defendants seize upon
and misuse to delay conviction and execu-
ton, in the hope of final discharge. In
too many cases such schemes are success -ful
and the guilty go free In the Lowell
case, in the public mind, there is moral
conviction and now legal certainty estab.
tablished by a verdict, that the men in
custody are guilty of brutal murder L
under our system of laws it shall be deter
mined that the Courts must reopen tht
case, it will be one more addition to accu
mulating facts that will eventually result
in an irresistible demand for revision o
the laws that will augment their certainty
and by putting narrower limits to possible
delays, hasten their execution.

"THE gates of Castle Garden swing in
ward. They do not swing outward to any
American laborer seeking better country
than this" said General Harrison. But
reduce the wage-earner's capacity to earn
in America to the level of that of Europe
and we will have labor class that will not
be able to go out even if it desired to do
SO, while it will become mudsill upon
which even the pauper labor of Europe
can lift itself out of want.

THE heated term, which has extended
over period unprecedented for its length
and high temperature in California his
tory, has not, by any means, been confined
to the great valleys of California. San
Francisco has itself had several touches Of
it, despite her location by the sea. In the
mountains of the Coast Range and the
Sierra, intense heat has been experienced,
and even in the far north the high tenn
perature has been phenomenal The
heated term now being over, and the strong
cool winds of the changing season having
set in, it is not at all likely that we shall
have another such season for many years
These phenomenal meteorological periods
have been very widely separated in the
past, and we may conclude will be in the
future. But it is worth while to recall the
fact that, despite the complaint of the
heat, there mas been, practically, no suffer-
ing on account of it. The daily vocations
OF life in shop, street and in field have
been followed without any serious incon-
venience. Men have pursued their labors
as usual, and there has been no percepti-
bic check upon trade or daily activity.
This condition was due to the almost per-
feet dryness of the atmosphere of interior
California and the uniform lowering of
temperature by night. Evaporation and
radiation are thereby promoted and bodily
discomfort is removed. 1t is very differ
ent where the air is humid from contiguity
to great bodies of water, and where it is
charged by fog, and ocean or lake evapora-
ton with much moisture. Atmospheric
humidity is like a blanket about the
body, preventing radiation Of its heat
while perspiration is checked and as
consequence suffering ensaes In this
comparison is to be found one of the
strongest climatic charms California has,
and it is one that should be presented to
newcomers with persistency.

The execution of Alex. Goldenson for
the murder of Mamie Kelly, the school
girl, is a vindication of the machinery of
the law against the charge that it is easily
turned aside from its purposes. Every ex-
pedient known to cunning and the law
was resorted to to save the neck of the
murderer from the rope, but ali efforts
were fruitless. That the murderer should
have enjoyed so long lease of life after
the commission of the crime, is, however,
reproach. The method of the criminal
law needs not only certainty, but greater
speed. There is no reason to be adduced.
worthy of consideration, for delaying a
year in securing the ends of justice in cases
so plain and unmistakable as that of
Goldenson. The hope of the criminal
always is in delay, and the weakness of
our laws is in the ease with which he can
secure it.

Governor of New York. 1t recently de-
clared, The very tastes and standards
which make a man admire Cleveland
make him hate HILL" But the Conyen-
ton, of which Cleveland had full control,
last spring Endorsed Hill with passionate
enthusiasm, while it swore by Cleveland.
The Post is forced to labor for division Of
its party's effort; it must urge the voter to
split his ticket, going against the State
Democratic ticket and for the National
nominees. This will greatly complicate
matters in New York City at least, where
the more ignorant voters will get their
tickets more or less mixed" The New
York Times, also Democratic this season,
sustains the Cleveland cause and scores
the Hill Democracy to the fullness of its
ability. We thus have the novel spectacle
of two professed reform journals urging
the Endorsement of the Democratic party
as reform element and condemning that
portion of the party which the head
and front of the so-called reform Democ-
racy, not only commends, but absolutely
controls.

ANOTHER DULL THUD.
ALEX GOLDENSON EXPIATFS HIS
AWFUL CRIME.
The Slayer of Mamie Kelley Hanged
in San Francisco = Incidents
Of His Last Hours.
ESPECIAL DISPATCHES TO THE REoORD-uslos.l

SAN Francisco, September 14th.-The
brief but eventful career of Alexander
Goldenson, the youth who murdered
Mamie Kelley, fourteen-year-ol school
girl, nearly two years ago, is ended. The
culprit paid the penalty of his crime to-day
by being hanged in the jail-yard. The Jail
life of the unfortunate youth has been full
of incidents, and the readers of the local
press will miss their daily supply of Gold
enson's sayings and doings. Contrary to
the general opinion, the condemned youth
maintained his courage and nerve to the
last, and some Of the events of the last hours
of his life are not without interest.
HIS LAST NIGHT IN JAIL.
While Deputy Sheriff Robert McCord was
on the death-watch last night he asked
Goldenson for his autograph.
Certainly, Bob" replied the condemned
man good-naturedly. "Tll compose an
original poem for you, too"
Suiting the action to the word, he sat
down to his little table, and after thinking
for awhile, began to write.
"There you are. Bob, he said, as he fin
ished writing. Now, that's orr ginal."
The rhyme was written in a steady, legi-
Bile hand, and the signature comprised
many fourishes. Following is what he
wrote:
To BOB MCoRD:

My life is a deaths annoy;
But when I'm dead,
