crime was committed on the soil OF CAL
ifornia and within the criminal domain
OF that state. Several considerations
OF greater or less Importance will enter
into the determination OF this issue,
among them whether Justice Field was
in judicial capacity, or was
simply private citizen when assaulted
by Terry, and whether Nagle was act
ing in the line OF official duty as deputy
marshal at the time he shot Terry In
defense OF Justice Field. There has
not been for years question before the
courts Of greater Importance than this.
Meanwhile there is q quite general
apprehension that Justice Field Is still
in danger in California from the widow
and friends OF Terry. 1t is not
doubted that were q favorable OPP
portunity to offer Mrs. Terry
would not hesitate to seek re-
venge by violent means, and there are
men in portions of California who have
hatred of Justice Field as intense as
their friendship was for Terry. The

The arrest and release ofC. w. Mcclellan,
charged with bastardy adultery ard bigamy
is q matter of recent record 1t appears that
the sensational accounts of it that went the
rounds of the press attracted the attention
of Mr.. V. H. Slough. of Sioux City, or,
rather, the course that lilly Triechel took on
the witness stand, and he wrote her letter
in care of the county attorney expressing his
appreciation and infatuation, which came to
hand to-day. He expressed confidence in her
virtue, because she had been brave enough
to defend her honor by refusing to testify
against her alleged betrayer on the witness
stand, and that her frank statement that she
did not understand English well enough to
comprehend the meaning of the information
that she filed against Mcclellan, would
always stand in her favor In the minds of
sensible people.

The number Of immigrants arriving
during the first four months OF 1889 was
ninety-six thousand two hundred. In
1888 the Immigration was one hundred
and eighty thousand nine hundred and
ninety-three. The large increase is at
tributed to the operation OF law passed
in 1887, authorizing the government TO
advance the money to pay the passage
of immigrants, and making liberal ar
gementsvfor their reception In the
country. The Italian element has been
the preponderating one in the Argen-
tine immigration, and the authorities
are said to be- anxious for more people

JUSTICE FIELD RELEASED.

Justice Field has been released from
legal responsibility in connection with
the killing Of Judge Terry. The court
at Stock ton, within the jurisdiction of
which the tragedy occurred, having
dismissed the charge of murder against
Justice Field made in the warrant is
sued at the instance of Sarah Althea
Terry, dismissal of the habeas corpus
proceedings by the Judge OF the United
States circuit court followed as a mat
ter of course. The grounds upon
which the charge was dismissed by
the Stockton court are not stated,
but it may safely be assumed that it was
In line with the averments OF the petit
tion of Justice Field, presented to the
circuit court last Thursday. and with
which the general public opinion OF the
country concurs, that the accusation
was "a malicious and malignant false
hood, )" made very likely in execution of
conspiracy to prevent Justice Field
''by force and intimidation from dis
charging the duties of his office, and to
injure him in his person on account of
the lawful discharge of the
duties of his Office heretofore" That
the theory of conspiracy is not
without support is unquestionable. Mrs.
Terry did not see the commission of the
act which she charged was a murder,
and while she is undoubtedly capable
of making the charge under such cir
cumstances of her own motion, the rea-
sonable probability is that she sought
advice before doing SO from persons
known TO be friendly to her husband
and hostile to Justice Field. and was
counseled to take the course she did.
No one at all familiar with the law
could have doubted for moment
that the accusation OF crime
against Justice Field would not stand
in any fair and impartial court, hence
the conclusion is reasonable that the
conspiracy, if such there was, was in
tended to prevent the justice from dis
charging the duties of his office, which
is crime against the United States,
and may have also designed, as Justice
Field set forth in his petition, to sub
iect him to indignities and humiliation,
and perhaps to compass his death.
There is no question that the action of
| the Stockton court in dismissing the
charge was proper and warrantable.
This action has no bearing upon the
| question of state and federal jurisdic-
| ion involved in the case of Deputy
Marshal Nagle, who shot Terry. The
hearing Of this case by Judge Sawyer
! of the United States circuit court, on
the writ of habeas corpus, will take
| place next week, and the result will be
regarded with very general interest
throughout the country as establishing
most important precedent. In behalf
Of Nagle it is coutended that when he
killed Judge Terry he was acting
in an official capacity, under
orders from the attorney general of the
United States to protect Justice Field,
and that therefore he Is not amenable
to trial in the courts Of California. The
claim of the state authorities is that the
United States or federal courts can have
no Jurisdiction in the matter, as the

THE suit brought In the New York
supreme court by Henry Willard against
Judge Noah DAVIS, who retired from
the bench some two years ago, for
large sum of money claimed to be due
on account of Wall street speculations,
will excite universal attention. The
account appears to be one of long stand
ing, and runs back as far as 1888, when
Judge Davis was powerful on the bench
and Willard was a giant on the stock
exchange. That judge should be so
morally blunted as to indulge in extern
sive stock gambling is sad commen-
tary on the debasing influence exerted
upon our judiciary by the prevailing
mania to get rich by speculation.

THE OHIO DEMOCRATS.

The democrats OF Ohio yesterday nom
mated Congressman James r. Camp
bell TO make the gubernatorial race
against Governor Foraker, as they we're
expected to do. Mr.. Campbell has been
standing possibility for this uomina-
tion for number OF years, and it has
come TO him at last for tho reason that
more available men would not accept it
at this time. There are several abler
and more popular democrats in
Ohio than Mr.. Campbell, but they
did not desire to lead their party
in this years campaign. Consequently
Mr.. Campbell's only real competitor for
the nomination was Virgil p. Cline, q
Cleveland lawyer of ability who has
mingled very little in politics, and
whose somewhat aristocratic inclina-
tions do not commend him to the rank
and file OF his party.
The platform calls for very little COM
ment, being essentially string of plati-
tudes. 1t approves the declarations OF
the st. Louis convention, which is per-
haps as unfortunate thing for the
democratic cause in Ohio as could
have happened. The vote Of that
state last year was so strong
verdict against the national demo-
cratic platform that it was to have been
expected the Buckeye democracy
would offer to the voters OF Ohio some
modification of the principles and pol
icy enunciated in that instrument, and
mr. In 6n nf
Indeed, the preference for Campbell
over Mr.. Thurman, who represents the
extreme tariff reform element, was un-
derstood to mean departure from the
attitude of the party last year. The
position taken, however, is squarely on
the lines laid down by Mr.. Cleveland
and the southern leaders OF de-
mocracy, and nothing is more certain
than that the democrats Of Ohio will
find themselves heavily handicapped
thereby.
There ought to be no room for doubt
regarding republican success in Ohio
this year, and it dissensions can be
avoided there will not be. The record
of republican administration is excel
lent, and the fact that the legislature to
be elected will choose q United States
senator to succeed Senator Payne and
rebuke the methods by which he was
elected, ought to stimulate the republi-
cans to greater effort than usual
in an off year state campaign. 1t
is an unfortunate fact, however, that
influences appear to be at work which
if not checked may do the party serious
harm. The recent remarkable attack
of the Toledo Blade on Senator Sher-
man is an indication that republican
harmony in Ohio is not so complete as
could be desired at this time, and while
that journals influence may not be
great, the serious question is whether
its course was inspired by a personal
grief or by politicians hostile to Sena-
tor Sherman and seeking to advance
themselves by striking at him. The
senator has announced his in
tention to take an active part in the
campaign, and he has way of silencing
| his traducers which is generally en-
| tirely effective. That he will do so in
| this case is not to be doubted. The
campaign promises to be active and in
teresting, with its aggressive and en-
thusastic features mainly with the
republicans.

THE great labor demonstration in

The great labor demonstration in
London, which has been fully reported
in The BEES special cable service, is
based upon demand of raise Of 2
cents an hour on the wages OF dock
laborers. The sympathy of the London
merchants and small dealers is with the
strikers, but the dock owners are an in
huential and wealthy class, who heed
no public sentiment and consult no in
terest but their own. So far the strikers
have shown no disposition to resort to
violence. Should the strike extend to
other wage workers it may assume vast
proportions and end in riots and gem
eral disturbances.
