THE gold craze in California has
about finished its course, and parties
who went out there on the vestibule
limited are returning at their leisure
and counting the ties to occupy their
minds. More wealth was expended in
the grand rush than was taken from the
mines. 1t is matter Of history that
California mines were worked in 40,
and Immediately subsequent years.

THE action Of President Harrison in
choosing territorial officers from the

is most agreeable change from the

which time they have been New York

THE appointment Of MIR. j. 5. Clark
son to be First Assistant Postmaster
General, which was sent, to the senate
and confirmed last Friday, is received
with commentator by the press OF
the country and with qualification
by republicans, especially in Iowa,
Mr.. Clarkson in his capacity as editor
of the Iocu State Register has for over
twenty consecutive years rendered val
liable services to the republican party
in the state and nation, while in the
two last national campaigns he has been
one of the most forcefal factors of the
national committee. In 1858 he was
urgently solicited to become the chair
man, but declined and accepted the
craftsmanship. in which position
he was not second to any member in
authority or counsel. He was rendered
the choice of several positions under
President Harrison, with much larger
salaries than the one he has finally ac.
cepted, but the pressure brought to
bear upon him was irresistible, and he
consents TO become Postmaster General
Wanamaker's counselor from sense
of duty rather than personal preference.
The organization of this department
promises excellent service to the coun-
try. Mr.. Wanamaker's ability to man,
age immense schemes has been happily
demonstrated in the success of his great
co-operative clothing establishments
and Mr.. Clarksons shreWd tact and
business ability cannot fail TO make
this department of the public service
better than II any time IN ITS history.

THE Fremont County Herald is I'M
compromisingly in favor of Hon. LATE
Young for Governor. Mr.. Young has
not yet signifed his willingness to be-
come the candidate for that office, and
yet this frequent mention of his name
in that connection by the press must
assure him that with his consent he
would have large and faithful follow
ing. At present, however, Mr.. Young
enjoys the confidence of his senatorial
district, an honor which he has not yet
expressed his desire to relinquish even
to enter broader fields of action.

Ina recent work the Cardinal says:
ga crying evil is the wide interval
that so often interposes between
criminal conviction and the execution
of the sentence, and the frequent de-
feat Of justice BY the delay. Human
life is, indeed, sacred, bnt the land
able efforts to guard it hsEe gone
beyond bounds. OF late years, the
difficulty TO convict, in murder trials
especially, has greatly increased, from
the widened application of the pleas
in bar-nolably that of insanity.
When a conviction has been reached,
innumerable delays generally stay the
execution, The many grounds Of ez
ception allowed to the counsel, the ap
peals from one court TO another, with
FINAL application tn the governor, aud
the facility with which signatures for
pardon are obtained have combined
10 throw around cuiprils an extrava-
giant protective system, and gone far
TO rob jury trials Of substance and
efficacy. A prompt execution Of the
LAWS sentence after trial is that
which strikes terror in evil doerr
and satisfies the public conscience.
The reverse of this among US has
brought reProaeh upon the admins
tFation Of justice and given plausible
grounds for the application of lynch
law"
