THE San Francisco Bulletin, noting the
fact that Sacramento is,condemning her old
awnings, regrets that the homely concerns
are TO ego" because they are such excel
lent shelter in summer and winter alike.
The Bulletin is mistaken in supposing that
the shelter of the awning is to be aban-
doned. All that is to be done is to substi-
tute for the wooden FIRE traps and scafold-
suggesters, metallic hanging awnings, that
will afford as much shelter as the present
wooden ones and avoid the fire risks. TO
say nothing of Kidding the city of eve
sores. As it is the property owners are
assessed an extra and distinct rate of in.
surance upon wooden awnings, that will
not be charged when the iron over hang
ing shelters take their place.

SULLIVAN contends that he was ignorant
of the law forbidding prize fighting upon
the soil of Mississippi. That was false
pleading. He was warned that he was
about to violate the law The Governor
had issued his proclamation of warning :
the papers of the day were filled with the
news of the warning. Even if Sullivan
did not know of it, it was his duty to in
quire concerning the law. For he went
many hundred miles TO seek out a place
where he thought it least likely that the
law would be enforced. The slogger's plea
is weak, his sentence is just. 1t is to be
hoped that his appeal will be denied and
that he will be given opportunity to re-
main sober year and harden his muscles
in Southern stoue-brealsing yard.

THE press is borrowing good deal of
useless trouble over the question whether
or not the Federal Courts have jurisdiction
of the case of Nagle. OF one thing there
can be no dispute, the Federal Courts have
the right to issue writs of habeas corpus
for the purpose of iuquiring into the ques-
ton whether a citizen is unjustly re-
strained of his liberty. 1t will be time
enough to consider the other matter, when
it arises That Nagle is entitled to be
admitted to bail, no one will seriously
deny. The killing of Terry by him was
of a character, and under circumstances
that clearly entitle the prisoner to be ad-
mitted to bail, since it was lacking in
those essential elements of premedita-
ton, malignity, forethought with intent
10 commit murder, and vicious motive.
1t was iustifiable homicide, il ever there
was such a case. 1t was the act of an
officer in the discharge of his sworn duty.
and in fulfllment of his instructions 10
protect the life of a Justice of the Supreme
Court of the Nation from menace and as
sault for action taken by that Justice while
IN the discharge of his duty The effort
to enkindle States Rights feeling in the
case of Nagle is unworthy. The Federal
Courts are not disposed to infringe any of
the rights of State of the Union. If
they take the case in hand, it will be be-
cause Of the clearly established right to
deal with the officers of their bodies for
acts done within the line of duty as such
officers. So far as the immediate matter
of Nagle's removal from Stockton is con-
cerned, that was effected under a writ of
habeas corpus that issued as a matter of
right that no one should question. 1t is
new and dangerous doctrine surely to as
sert that Federal Judge must refuse to
issue his writ TO inquire into the detention
of a citizen, no matter who holds him in
custody. 1t has not before been denied or
even questioned, and ii is certainly not
conducive TO the preservation of the lib
erty of the citizen, that the right and duty
of the Judge should be challenged at this
late day.

A POLITICAL CLUB of San Francisco has
petitioned the President to surround the
transit Chinese by such regulations as
will assure the country that the declared
right of these people to cross the CONT
nent, en- route to and from their own
country, will not be used as a means of
eyading The Restriction Act. There need
be no fear that this will not be done. We
have already stated our belief that the re-
shipment of these passengers, or tourists,
could be safely left to the passenger car
riers of the country, since self-interest and
obligation conspire to make them solicit
Gus for the enforcement of the law-it is
not TO their interest that the Restriction
Act should he evaded. If that is done,
they know that the inhibition of transit
will follow, under legislative direction,
and thus theproft of the carriage of these
people will be cut of. But, in addition to
this important factor, we have the regula-
tions already announced for the entry and
deportation of the Chinese. Still further.
we have the assurance of the integrity of
the chief executive officer of the nation,
who has already and repeatedly demon
strated that he is alive to the obligation
of his duty to see the laws enforced. T. is
simply inconceivable that President Har-
rison will stand idly by and see the Re
striction Act violated by subterfuge or
otherwise. 1t was, therefore, unnecessary
for the Iroquois Club to petition him to
enforce the law, and to take precautions
to prevent itsinfringement. The club very
well says in its petition that the passage of
the Act, and the affirmation of its constitu-
tionality by the Supreme Court of the
United States has settled the Chinese
question and that its wisdom is no longer
In issue. 1t having now been definitely
settled that under the relations existing
between the United States and the Empire
of China, the right of transit exists for the
people of the latter, it is the part of wis
dom to make what we can out of the mat
ter, and at the same time prevent the right
being made means of evasion of the law
limiting the immigration of the Chinese.
For over thirty years these Orientals that
have had residence in this nation have
been shipping away from the country the
money they have made it. The transit
of some of these people will compel them
to leave some money with US, and to re-
turn at least portion of that carted away
in the past. 1t is far better to see to it
that the tourists cross the continent under
our own carrier regulations to insure de-
portation, than to permit the transporta-
tion of the passers to be turned over TO the
lines of travel competing with our own,
and over which we can exercise no sort of
control to require them to insure the re-
shipment of the Chinese. and whom they
can turn loose upon our border if so
minded.

Mr.. 5. Nj. ALLERToN, of Chicago, has
been writing to the Inter-Ocean upon the
railroad question, and while dealing in
some error gives utterance to many truths.
For instance, the essayist is sound when he
says:
The people in their great haste to regulate the
railroads forgot to protect them by not proven
Ing ambitious men building parallel roads 10
sell to the old roads, thus making an expense OF
TWO roads to do the business of one,
That is, the doctrine of competition has
been carried to an unreasonable extent,
and even the Government itself has fos-
tered and stimulated it by aiding lines in
competition with roads that must be
crippled in consequence, but from which
the Government exacts the full perform
ance of obligations possible only when the
debtor roads are enjoying the advantages
of full earning capacity. Again, after
stating the proposition that an excessively
low rate is dangerous to the stability of
markets, and that what the country most
needs are uniform and reasonable rates. he
adds:
If the people have the right to regulate rail-
roads they are bound to protect them The in
terstate commerce law had this end in view.
but failed TO give railroads any protection. Had
all the roads lived up to the law the railway
business would have been the greatest monopoly
in this country. The great trunk lines did try
to live ap to the law. When rebates were
stopped all goods were shipped by the great
roads had no business. The law would not
allow the strong lines to protect the weak ones,
and the weak lines had to go back TO giving re-
bates or to some underhanded method until
they thought of the differential plan, which
made the interstate commerce law useless.

WITHOUT A PRECEDENT.
Justice Field the First Supreme Judg,
Ever Arrested

Ever Arrested
SAN francisco, August 1sth.-The arrest
of Justice Field on a criminal charge is
said by lawyers to be the first case on
record OF member of the United States
Supreme Bench being arrested in such a
way. The older members of the Bar in
this city do not remember that a United
States Circuit or District Judge was ever
subjected to such charge. Impeachments
have been known, but that is regarded as
entirely out of the line of the present case.
In view of the possible elimination OF
the Hill.Sharon contest by reason of the
recent tragedy, one of the attorneys for
Mrs. Terry remarked to reporter that he
thought that the case was virtually settled
The motion for rehearing before the Su-
preme Court was denied on Friday, and
there is another motion in the Supreme
Court for the appointment of a receiver,
based on the petition of Mrs. Terry, that
the Trustees of the Sharon estate are
squandering the property, bat it is not an
ticipated that anything will come of this
last motion in the case.

SOLDIERS IN CAMP.
The First Artillery Regiment Tented
Near the Town of Santa Cruz.

Near the Town of Santa Cruz.
SANTA CRUZ, August 1Sth.-The First Ar
tillery Regiment arrived here from Sacra-
mento about 6:30 this morning. No acct
dent marred the down trip with the excep-
ton that the train parted twice, but one
half of the passengers knew nothing of the
occurrence. After forming a line at the
depot on the arrival of the train, the men
were marched TO the camp ground, about
one and quarter miles distant where,
contrary TO expectation, the tents were
found all pitched and, being new and white.
they gave pleasing appearance to the
whole camp, which is situated about FIVE
hundred yards south of where the same
regiment camped two years ago. The
Fifth and Sixth Infantry are in camp near
by, and as the First Artillery arrived the
infantrymen gave them a ousing reception.
When the CAM was reached the men made
rush for two large stacks of straw and all
were well supplied with bedding.
Breakfast was served about 7:30 and the
meal was very good one and pronounced
tp-top by the men. Guard. mount was
held at 10 o'clock and dress parade in the
evening. Many visitors were at the camp
during the day and evening The drill
grounds are not extra good but will have to
do under the circumstances.

THE story goes about that Boulangers
present plan is to appear in Paris some
fine morning suddenly, and on horseback,
and at his heels mob with which he will
descend upon the Government and blot it
out at one blow. It's fine revolutionary
scheme, to be sure, but what will the Gov
eminent be doing meanwhile? No, Bou-
LANCER does not look well upon horseback.
and he knows ii, and has known it ever
since his own soldiers laughed at him as
he bobbed in the stirrups when he trotted
through the drives of the Bots three years
ago and set even the women and his own
mistress into roars of laughter over his
appearance. The General will not appear
on horseback; he viii not appear at all
he is hero of discretion, and as discretion
is the better part of valor, he will content
himself with firing proclamations at France
at long range.

of the North Pacific Coast are for the most
part a sensible and sober lot, and that
they should ask the girls of New England
to come West, with a view to better ac-
quaintance, is not unreasonable, nor mere
commercial view of the hottest of rela-
tions. The truth is, that there are as
many happy short acquaintance marriages
as there are of long and weary courtship
unions. The modern girl may well stand
upon her right to be sought after, and
wooed and won in the good old way. But
is there anything in the immigration
proposition to bar the sweet and tantaliz-
ing courtship, the coy reserve and the
blushing consent at the last? Does the
Mayor of Tacoma ask the New England
surplus to throw itself at the head of
youth and manhood in the Northwest?
By no means-the Mayor of Tacoma
simply communicates bit of truth for
the information of the Mayor of Boston,
and if the latter has been SO indiscreet as
to let the cat out of the bag, is that any
reason why the surplus should not avail
of cheap fares and summer it out West,
and if all is to its liking, remain with the
over supply of masculinity on these occi-
dental shores? Certainly not

j. A. Fillmore Offers $1,000 For the Ar
rest of the Arizona Fiends.
SAN Francisco, August 1Sth.-J. A. Fill
more, General Superintendent of the South
ern Pacific Company's lines, has issued
bulletin offering a reward for the authors
of the outrageous attempt to wreck train
near Tucson, A. T., last Wednesday. Fol.
lowing is the text of the bulletin:
SAN FRANCISCO, August Is. 1889.
To Az Concerned The Southern Pacific Com
pany will pay reward of 81 COO for the arrest
and conviction of the person CT persons who
wrecked our west bound passenger train, No %
about two miles west OF Benson, A. T., at about
n:S0 o'clock on the evening of August u, 1889.
j. A. FILLMORE, General Superintendent.
Some additional facts have been learned
relative TO the methods adopted by the
wreckers, though no clew to their identity
has been discovered. That no one was hurt
seems to have been little short of a miracle.
Where the derailment occurred the road
crosses the mountains and there is deep
descent from Benson toward snd not far
from Tucson. The fishplate bolts had been
removed from rail and the spikes drawn
out of the ties, so that the rail was free to
move as soon as the pressure of the engine
truck was applied to it. The train rushed
on and the engine instead of flying from
the rail as was expected, sank down into
the earth, the tender and cars crushing on
it. The engineer and fremen had very
lucky escape, but no one was injured. 1t is
thought that some of the cattlemen who
have lost cattle that have strayed on to the
lines are accountable for the murderous
work, and traces of the footprints of sew
eral men, as well as boof marks of horses
were to be plainly seen close to the place
where the wreck occurred.
