offenses. To the excuse that if the owner
has rented the place innocently he cannot
be held to responsibility until the termina-
tion of the lease, we might reply that
the conversion of the premises to uses that
are prohibited by the law is violation
of the lease, and puts remedy in the
hands Of the landlord. OF course no pro-
ceeding for the suppression of nuisance
or for punishment for crime can be taken
except through the Courts and according
to the laws of the land, and the expression
in the article referred to cannot be tor
tured into any contrary view.
We maintain, as heretofore, that it is
within the purposes of the law and the
province of the municipality, in the exer-
else of its police powers, to declare that
disorderly houses are nuisances, and after
notice to the landlord that his tenant is
making the premises nuisance, hold him
to responsibility for any further letting of
the place for such purposes. The citizen
who criticizes the position taken, will do
well to inform himself upon the law before
antagonizing that position, which, we re-
assert, is sound in law.

RESPONSIBILITY OF PR0PERTY-0wN
ERS.

In the SUNDAY UNION we commented
upon the proposition of the San Francisco
Grand Jury that the owners of property
on which disorderly houses are kept, real
estate rented for such purposes, should be
pursued under law and be held to ac-
countability. We approved the PROPOSE
tion. A citizen objects to the position
taken, and insists that under no law can
the owner of properts, who rents it inno-
Gently, be held responsible for the charac-
ter of the house kept by the tenant, at
least not until the expiration of the lease,
No one said anything to the contrary,
in the abstract. Intent is the essence of
crime in all cases But at the common
law the maintaining of a disorderly house
is an ofFense. Under the statute of this
State it is an offense. BY the same law it
is declared TO be misdemeanor to rent or
let property with the knowledge that a
6;sorderly house is to be kept on the prem
ises.
Moreover, it is within the province of
municipal corporations by ordinance to
bn;d owners to responsibility for the char
acter of the house. after notice that its

ONE HUNDRED AND FIFTY MILES AN
HOUR

Professor Elihu Thomson in mis- recent
lecture on the subject, said that scientists
now have reason to expect speed from loco
motives to be operated by electricity equal
to one hundred and fifty miles an hour;
that steam machinery has reciprocating
parts that must be put in motion and that
are constantly subject to conditions of re-
versal, but that in the electrical locomo-
tive the motion is rotary continuously,
making it possible to run with economy at
an enormously high speed. He believes
that in an other hundred years one hun
dred and fifty miles an hour by rail will be
the standard speed; that in that time
means for keeping the cars on the track
will be discovered, and all the necessary
methods for the application of the power
and for the construction of the proper loco
motives. While it is possible, with
motor operated by electricity, to obtain a
rotary motion that would theoretically
give speed of one hundred and fifty
miles, after due allowance for friction, and
for the drag of a train, there are engineer
ing difficulties that will remain to check
any such application, except on short and
air lines. 1t would be simply impossible
to run cars bearing human beings at any
such speed as that contemplated over roads
through countries with heavy grades and
curves of necessity determined by the topog-
raphy of the land. On air lines, and pos
sibly with cars constructed without wheels,
on the plan of the water-slide
railways, speed of one hundred and fifty
miles an hour might be obtained from
power even now. Certainly what
can be done on a mimic scale can be
adapted to somewhat larger system, and
skill has long since given us
machinery that permits Of revolutions suf-
ficient to propel cars at the speed named.

not led life of murder and bloodshed, and
was known during his long residence here
as rather quiet man. A blackmailer had
attacked his character, and in moment of
frenzy thereat, and while under the in
fuence of liquor, he shot and killed his
supposed traducer. He was tried snd con-
victed, it is true, but he did not go out with
an officer to play poker. The Judge of the
Court announced the verdict of the Jury, but
neglected to remand Mclaughlin to the
custody of the Sheriff; and as Mclaughlin
had been out on hail, and not in the
Sheriffs charge, it did not occur to that
officer that it was his duty to take charge of
the convicted man.
Mclaughlin got up. after the verdict had
been announced, walked out of the Court
room and suddenly disappeared. He was
smuggled out of the city by few friends,
and managed to board vessel leaving for
South America. A number of old Califor
mans after ward met and conveised with
him in Valparaiso, where it is ssid he died
or committed suicide great many years
ago.
Judge Ramage's blunder in neglecting to
remand Mclaughlin TO Jail, after his con-
vic ion, was so severely criticised that the
Judge took it deeply to heart. 1t served to
defeat him for re election and he thence

NOT STATE COMMISSIONERS,

Messrs. De Young and Forsythe, ap-
pointed by the President of the United
States as members of a National Commits
sion, are in no sense Worlds Fair Com
missioners for California. The Commits
sion to act for this State has not yet been
appointed. The misapprehension concern
ing the relation of these gentlemen to the
State has grown out of the fact that their
names were recommended for appointment
by the Governor But this does not con-
stitute them Commissioners for California
They are simply members of National
Board appointed and commissioned by the
President to have personal control of the
Exposition. They will possess no right of
authority over the California exhibit any
more than that general control of the en-
tire exhibit vested in the Board to which
they belong. When California appropri-
ates money to make an exhibit, Commits
sion to have charge Of its expenditure will
be created. The members of the National
Board residing in California and appointed
by the President are good appointees and
will no doubt serve with distinction, but
they do not-as is enormously supposed
constitute Commission for California.

THE DYING TRAMP.
A Ridiculous Story That Comes Up From
the Wilds of New Mexico,

A Ridiculous Story That Comes Up From
the Wiids of New Mexico.
A San Francisco paper yesterday had
special dispatch (which was probably
clipped from Boston paper), relating an
absurd story told by one Edward Callahan,
who lately arrived there from this coast.
Callahan is reported to have said that in
1885 he came across dying tramp on the
plains Of New Mexico, who told him he
was Tip Mclaughlin. who had murdered
man in Sacramento. and that be was tried.
convicted and sentenced to be hanged
therefor. He also gave Callahan a history
of his life, which was q continual story of
cfimen
But the most absurd and preposterous
part of the story is thus told by Callahan.
as related by the dying tramp:
When be was taken out of Court the
officer IN charge of him said We'll, Nc
Laughlin, guess we will take drink be-
fore | lock you up. They went into a
saloon and Mclaughlin sar down to plav
stud horse poker for the drinks while the
officer looked on. Pretty soon Mclaughlin
said he was going out of the back door for
minute. He did SO aud the officer did not
catch him. He got down TO San Francisco
and there he shipped on trading schooner
going down the cosst and then went off
into Southern California y

IE many cases recently where there has
been suspicion of poisoning as the cause of
death, the ferreting out of the crime, if
any, has been defeated by undertakers in
jecting into the veins OF the bodies arsen-
ical compositions for preservation of the
remains. In all such cases chemical anal
ysis is impossible for the determination of
the question Of the cause of death. 1t is
now proposed, and with wisdom, that
there shall be no more embalming allowed
in cases where there is no certificate of
death by reputable physician, until
after there has been held an inquest or
until after the Coroner gives permission.

a TrIed Remedy for BiIiousness

Those who suffer from disorder or in
action of the liver will never get the upper
hand of the unruly organ so long as they
use such irrational remedies as blue pills,
calomel and podophylin. But from the
tried and popular medicine, Hostetter's
Stomach Bitters, they may expect relief
with certainty of obtaining it. The in
f1uence of the Bitters upon the great hillary
gland is direct, powerful and speedily felt.
The relief afforded is not spasmodic but
complete and permanent. The sallowness
of the skin, furred appearance of the
tongue, indigestion, costiveness, headache,
nausea, pains through the right side and
shoulder, in fact every accompaniment of
the obstinate complaint are entirely and
promptly removed by course of this in
estimable medicine, in behalf of which
testimony is constantly emanatipg from
every quarter and from all classes of So
ciety.

A WEALTHY citizen of Sonoma county
proposes to set aside tract of 600 acres
on Russian river. nearly the whole of
which is covered by giant redwoods, for
the perpetual use of the people as a park
There will be sufficient endowment fund
provided for the care of the tract, the lay
ing out of drives and walks, the erection OF
Conservatives and houses of entertain
ment, and the clearing out of underground
and the preservation of streams and the
trees. His idea is to make it free to ali
the people, but not to permit encamp-
ments in it, for fear of fire; to prohibit
the cutting of the giant timber and to
secure plentiful supply of conveniences
for FURNISHING water to man and beast
throughout the tract. In the park are
many trees 300 feet in hight and from
five to fifteen feet in diameter. In the
tract are also 200 acres that he proposes
shall be cultivated in orchard growth, to
add to the support fund he will provide.
He will create Board of Trustees of citi-
zens holding high stations, and will, while
he lives act with the Board of Control.
His purpose is to preserve considerable
section of redwood timber land as Curl
osity, which in fifty years, he thinks, it
will be, and to create park to which all
the people who wish may 60 to rest and
find nature in her unadorned state. 1t
will also be game preserve and will be-
come the home of fine game, while the
Conservatives and garden tracts, he de-
sires, shall be devoted to the cultivation
and distribution of rare and valuable
plants. The scheme is commendable
