The iconoclasts propose to leave us
nothing evidently of the romantic tradi-
tions of history. Brunhild they declare a
myth, Boadicia another, and the sacrifice
of Joan dare fable. They insist that
there is absolutely no truth in the story
that Raleigh spread his cloak for Eliza
beth's feet; they aver that Mary Queen of
Scots was homely woman, ana that the
heroism of the Maid of Saragossa is a fable.
Coming to our own country they assail the
reputation of Pocahontas, strip from Bar
bara Freitchie the honor of waving the
flag in Fredericktown, and scout the idea
of Sheridan having made any such
tragic ride as he is credited with. But
for all this the people will cling to the
old stories for love of the romantic in
them; besides, the iconoclasts have made
out their case no stronger than do the low
ers of the traditions rude hands seek to de-
stroy. But there is one romantic story
that has lovingly dwelt in millions of
hearts that really does seem to be on the
verge of ruin. Pipe-Major Mcclellan says
the pipers who accompanied the Seventy
eighth Regiment to the relief of Lucknow
did not sound note as the column an
preached. Therefore Jessie Brown could
not have heard the pipes, and the romance
of the relief, so far as Jessie's hearing "The
Campbells are Coming" is concerned, must
be abandoned 1t may be that Mcclellan
is correct in his statement, but SO pretty a
story should not be overthrow upon the
testimony of single witness, and hence
the world should discredit the veracity of
the old Pipe Major; indeed, if for nothing
more than coming in after all these years
of silence to smash" cherished tale. and
rudely attempt to destroy our faith in the
lovely Scottish story that is SO rich in
poetic feeling, the old Major should be
voted devoid of truth.

kEMLER, the New York murderer has
been saved for q time from electrical exc
cution by the Intervention of a writ of
habeas corpus sworn out by some one who
did not even know him and had not COM
municated with him. Presumably the
new activity in behalf of the murderer is
prompted by the electrical companies,
which have in the past manifested SO
much anxiety to have the new means of
executing declared cruel and unusual. The
Court granting the writ has set the hear
ing at SO distant day as June 18th. Why
the hearing was thus postponed it is diff
cult to understand. The issuance of the
writ of habeas corpus is a summary pro-
ceeding and intended to be speedy and
a last process. When, therefore, six weeks
and more are interposed between its issu-
ance and the hearing upon it, it is an I'M
usual thing and excites inquiry why this
was done. The grounds upon which the
writ was asked are that the punishment
to be inflicted is cruel and unusual, and
therefore in conflict with the Federal
Constitution. But these points have al
ready been passed upon by competent
tribunal aud decided adversely to the
claim made. But there is added another
reason in which there is more strength
to wit: that the delegation to an execu-
tive officer of the power to fix the date of
the execution Is the transfer of a judicial
function of which the Court could not dis
possess itself. Upon that question the bar
of the country will divide. We confess
that it is one of grave doubt, and it may
turn out that the objection is we'll taken.

backed by much capital. There is, then,
but one thing to do. and that is to employ
sufficient force to guard the whole line of
the border. The United States ought to
prove that it has the capacity and the
will to enforce its laws, and to show TO
the lawless that they cannot defy the Fed
eral authority with impunity. The only
trouble is that to put sufficient force
on the line will involve such great cost
that Congress may have to be called upon
for special bill authorizing it. In that
case we shall have the Chinese question
to fight over again, as it is certain that
those opposed to restriction viii not per-
NIT such measure to pass Congress
without long and bitter struggle.

IT Is said that bill is before Con-
gressional committee for the disfranchise-
ment of Mormons, and that it is likely to
be reported favorablv. This is an error.
No committee will ever report such bill.
since no committee wishes to wear the cap
and bells. Any such measure would be
held to be unconstitutional, and should be.
Clearly it would be as competent to pass
law DISTINGUISHING all Methodists, all
Catholics or all Presbyterians. The guar
antee of the right to worship God accord
ing to the dictates of conscience, within
the necessary regulations of law for the
peace and safety of the people, is invio-
liable. The revivalist may shout, the
Mormon preach and the Salvationists
recruit with fife and drum, but no law will
be tolerated that by title will disfranchise
any man because of his entertainment of
any particular religious belief. 1t is a
totally different thing, however, when a
specific crime is named in the law, and its
commission forbidden. Thus, the practice
of polygamy is prohibited, and those who
offend under the law may be excluded
from the exercise of the elective franchise
as punishment, and as warning to
Others, and such people may be designated
for descriptions sake by the religious title
in part But it is absurd to think
that Congress will attempt to pass law
Furnishing any one for entertaining a
religious belief. When that is done the
liberties of the people will be effectually
undermined.

The Labor Commissioner Runs Against
the Wrong Customer.
j. j. Tobin, formerly of this city, and at
present State Labor Commissioner, is be-
ing severely criticised by some of the San
Francisco papers. 1t seems that few
days since he caused the arrest of glove
maker named G. A. Moss on charge of
not complying with the law requiring en-
ployers of women in stores to provide seats
for them when not engaged in waiting on
customers.
Moss went into Court and swore that his
place is provided with seats, rs REQUIRED
by law. He said that man called at his
place and acted in an insolent manner, re-
fused to give his name and made partial
exploration of the store. He afterward
learned it was Tobin.
The latter failed to appear in Court to
prove his charge, and the case was about
to be dismissed, when Moss objected. He
said he could prove that his store had
seats, as required by law, and insisted on
his right to do so. He added that he did
not consider himself obliged to answer the
questions of every unknown person who
comes into his place in condition that
prevents him from being civil and gentle.
manly. An officer was sent after Tobin.
but he could not find him, and the case
went over.

IT is said that the Emperor of Germany
Is about to take a trip to this country in a
yacht now under construction for the pur-
pose. We doubt the truth of the story.
But, assuming it to be true, certain circles
are debating how the Emperor should be
received in republic. The answer ought
to spring to the lips of every one-simply
as any other distinguished official of a
friendly nation ought to be received-with
no ceremonial such as would prevail in a
monarchy nor yet with that democratic
coldness that would offend a power with
which we are at peace.

The Son of "Jim" Coffroth Gets Arrested
for an Alleged Robbery.
James w. Coffroth, son of the noted
lawyer and politician of that name, who
died here many years ago, got into an en-
barrassing ''scrape' in San Francisco the
other night. The young gentleman-who
is Secretary of the Supreme Court Justices
was on his way home rather late at night.
in company with a friend, when they
encountered couple of drunken men
fighting. Being acquainted with them, the
young men interfered and separated them.
The next day one of the fighters swore
out warrants against Coffroth and his
friend, claiming that in the struggle they
went through him and stole his watch.
This charge Coffroth and his friend deny
most srenuously. They admit that their
accuser may have lost his watch in the
scuffie, but are indignant that they should
be charged with having stolen it.

THERE is great danger that Mr.. Saxton
will reform all the reform out of his ballot

modem obstructionist Governor Hill, of
New York. He has now submitted bill
providing for as many official ballots as
there are parties in the field. Thus the
voter will 60 into the polling booth with a
whole armful of ballots. Only confusion
can result from such provision. 1t will

who are now visiting the State, echoed
the expression of all the members of the
party while they were in this city when
he said to the Pioneers of San Francisco
on Tuesday that full credit had never
been given at the East to the work of
Californians in building this empire of
the republic upon the shores of the Paci-
nc. The nation has not fully recognized
the part California has taken in the up-
building of the country as it should have
done. Captain Themes well said:
You men who founded a great State deserve
the homage of the world. Your work has filed
our eyes with wonder. We have watched your
progress with anxious eyes for many years, and
Will for many years to come. But for the firm
reliance we placed in you when The Union was
threatened, 1t would have been DESTROYED Your
gold saved the Union. You have never had the
credit you deserve, and if l was in Congress
would vote to cancel the railway debt and give
you all you ask.
