Tho ParOnl Case.

The Eureka Grand Jury, in their re-
cent report, embody the following.
On the night of the 3rd of January
last Phillip Puroni was seized by band
of masked armed men, taken to the out
skirts of town, stripped half naked. be-
smerred with tar and his hands bound
behind him, under threats of death if he
returned to town, left to perish in the
storm aud cold.
We have investigated this affair, and
while keenly realizing the stigma of dis
grace under which this community con-
trnues while the perpetrators of this
cowardly and inhumsn outrage O re un-
detected and unpublished, are compelled
to report that we have been unable to
obtain testimony sufficient to warrant
the indictment Of the parties concerned
therein.
We therefore earnestly recommend
the law officers of this county to use
their most persistent efforts to obtain
testimony in this case until the guilty
parties are brought to trial and punished
as they deserve.

FiNIGaN WINS.
Judge HUNT Renders Decision in His

d
Favor.
The San Francisco Bulletin Of last even
ing says:
On the 14th of last February an action
was brought in the Superior Court entitled
The People Of the State of California, on
the relation of P. A. Finigan, VS.. Dana
| Perkins ct al.
1t appears that on the 18th of July, 1887,
| Finigan was appointed by Governor Bart
lett Director of the State Board of Agri-
culture. He did not receive his commission
and had no notice thereof until the 18th OF
February following. He then took the
oath of office as required by law. On the
9th of January last defendant Perkins was
appointed Director of said Board in lieu
of Finigan, and to recover the office in
| question the action was brought.
Defendant Perkins demnrred to the COM
plant on the ground that Finigan failed
to take the oath of office within ten days
after his appointment; that therefore he
never lawfully qualified and his appoint
M mt became void.
| In passing upon the matter orally, on
| Wednesday, Judge Hunt held that the cir
cumstance that the failure of an appointee
/ to file his oath of office within ten days
| after the issuance of his commission
does not necessarily vacate the appoint
ment. Said the Court:
1t may happen from causes beyond his
control, or from irregularity of the mail
service, where, as in this case, the commits
sion was sent to the appointee by mail,
such commission may not have been re-
ceived by him until more than ten days
| after it was forwarded. Where such APP
pointee, Immediately upon receipt of his
commission, qualities, as did the relator
Finigan, I think he substantially COM
piled with the law. Hence, the demurrer
of the defendant Perkins is overruled. The
other defendants, the members of the
State Board of Agriculture, have no con-
cern in this controversy and have been inn
properly joined in the action, and hence
| their demurrer is sustained
This decision practically disposes Of the

supplies, we must keep the product Of the
labcr of the Chinese and all of their order
oct of the home market. 1t would be the
supremest hight Of folly to exclude the
Chinese manufacturer of boots and shoes,
for instance, but when he puts his plant
over the Mexican line half a miie, permit
him to send in the cheap production of
his skill and labor in unequal competition
with the American manufacturer of the
same article.
1t has been well said that the natural
and most economical relation of producer
and consumer is that OF close proximity
/ and intimate association. But in the case
of the Chinese worker civilizing conditions
forbade the application of that law, and
Il ence the exclusion of low class of labor
that produced in competition with another
class upon whom civilization placed the
obligation of conditions compatible only
with a greater wage than the Chinese
earned. When, therefore, we expel the
Chinaman to protect American labor, we
must, to be consistent, keep out the product
of his labor when it is elsewhere applied.
Our Democratic friends cannot consist
emily join with the Republicans and drive
the Chinese from the vineyards of CalIfor-
mia, and then refuse to put up barrier to
prevent that industrious race, when pro-
ducing raisins just over the Mexican line,
| from sending them in to US at less than a
living price for the California vineyardist.
Yet that is precisely one instance Of what
the Democratic party proposes to do. II
proposes to delude the American producer
into the belief that he has limitless for
eign market, and need have no fear Of
competition from foreign agricultural
! fields
Sacramento daily record-union., 1888-10-05
THE RELATION OF PRODUCER AND
CONSUMER.

Those who have believed that it will be
profitable to SO increase our foreign trade
as to keep as good a market for all agri-
cultural staples abroad as ever, are, we
think, doomed to disappointment. The
whole drift of agricultural industry ON the
other side of the Atlantic is toward greater
and easier production. Both Russia and
India, for instance, are becoming such
powerful competitors with us in the wheat
market, as to constitute an immediate
menace to the American producer.
1t is therefore wise policy not only to
diminish large and encourage small and
diversified farming, but to so build up and
conserve manufacturing as to enlarge the
home consuming market If large pro-
portion of our manufacturing labor by rea-
son of the influx of foreign products of
manufacture was thrown into the agrieult-
ural field to-day, as Mr.. George insists can
be safely done, it would unquestionablv
produce distress by abnormally augment
ing the surplus of agricultural production.
The fact that the agricultural producer
has now surplus and seeks its disposal
abroad, gives emphasis to the position.
The home market for American produc-
tions is not only not fully, bat is not
nearly half developed. The capacity of
the United States for industrial popula-
tion is immensely in excess of the per-
centage of the present population engaged
in soil-production. That the Republican
party should, therefore, bend its energies
to conserving manual labor and manu-
featuring, and to enlarge, the ps1r-
chasing ability of the wage-earners of
America, is an evidence of the wisdom of
its policy 1t demanded the expulsion Of
the Chinese, not because ef race prejudice,
but because they are net of the order
of industrial forces that contribute
to the development o. independ-
ent, self respecting, well conditioned
wage-earners, who are home hlilders and
State builders. Because the influence of
the Chinaman was all In the direction of
low wages, ill-condition, least consumption
and fewest homes, lie was out of harmony
with onr system. Being excluded, the
same policy that effected that end must be
continued against the results Of his laboz
in other quarters, If We are TO conserve
the civilization of cur wage-earni#g classes

ingly enlarge the need for home productive
