THE GREAT DAMRONIAN SKIP.

The flight OF Damron with three
charges of felony pending against him
Will very probably result in another
grave miscarriage of justice. No one is
astonished at his fight. Indeed, his
fight, under the developed circum-
stances, was a thing to be looked for.
Why should a man with the certainty of
conviction upon three separate charges
of forgery hesitate to run. His bail al
together was only $500, but a fraction
of which, we are assured, is of a recover
able character. Even upon a cold
calculation OF the fact that if
he should leave his sureties
in the lurch they would
have to lose that sum, what figure would
that cut against fifteen or twenty years
of imprisonment? His guilt was clear
cut, palpable. That he had no defense
was evident from his speech before the
court. His protestations and appeals
were altogether directed to the feelings.
He presented not word in extenuation
of his crimes. He was the rat in the
trap. Yet justice, when it should have
been stern, melted. He played his
trump card and won. No doubt he is
now laughing in his sleeve at the way
in which he acted the fearful dodge and
got off with it. We have seen
in our local papers a very striking
comparison drawn between a fellow
who was recently held in $4,000 bail for
stealing litter OF pups, whilst a
drunken ruffian who had shot into a
moving train, nearly killing lady pas
senger, was only required to furnish
sureties in the sum of $500. At this
rate the pups were four times more
valuable in the eyes of the law than a
human life Let us add to the illustra-
tion that three separate felonies, the
most dangerous that can confront COM
mercial community, are bailed at a sum
that makes pup-stealing and forgery
almost on par of gravity. The fact is
that this Damron business has
made a roaring farce OF JUS
tice, has brought the law into
contempt, and is calculated to
encourage spirits of an acquisitive
turn to Extensively into the false sig
nature business. A few more cases like
this, and we shall be justified in crying
with Shylock: 'Fie upon your courts
there is no law in Venice" There is, OF
course, aswe said few days ago, par
tisan side to this case. Damron was a
leader of the Republican party, and it
would hardly do to place the party, in
the person OF it's conspicuous leader, be-
hind the bars. Bah, "An ounce oi
civet, good apothecary, to sweeten my
imagination"

WHAT is 1T FOR?

The question is being very extensively
asked in Los Angeles county: What is
the district attorneys office for ? We
have elsewhere treated on the miscar-
riage of justice in the courts through
the inadequacy Of bail; but, in our
present remarks, we desire to dwell upon
the scandals of the district attorneys
office. Personally we have none but the
kindliest feelings towards Mr.. Kelly,
although, like the community we have
been obliged to recognize the fact that
that gentleman, like necessity, knows no
law. At least, 1t is kindlier to put
this Interpretation upon this officials
lamentable laches in administering his
office in the interest of the people. Since
Hon. Stephen M, White surrendered
that Office it has been administered so
feebly that the question even of its in
tegrity has been imported into the issue.
Ii it had not been for one energetic dep
uty, whose personal pride and profes-
sional integrity have attracted favorable
public attention, 1--WE allude to Deputy
Hardesty), Mr.. Kelly's administration OF
his trust would have been even more
reprehensible and indefensible than
it has been. There is some
thing inexpressibly aggravating in
the way the bondsmen of the
buncosteerers who robbed Hon. John
B. Haskins, Hood and Rose, have been
allowed to escape the liability they vol
unfairly assumed. We mention their
case in especial because it illustrates in
peculiar way the disgraceful laxity
that has characterized that Office. No
good citizen of either party feels like
condoning such outright sacrifice of the
rights of the people. If Mr.. Kelly
should ever again run for office he
would find out how deep and inappeasa-
BILE is the popular resentment at such
negligence, to call it by no worse a
name.
The people are in the mood OF exact
ing their rights and of pouring hot
wrath upon the heads OF their be-
trayers.

THREATENED RAIN.
A Few Clouds Brighten the Fruit
DRYERS.

In the region of San Bernardino and
Redlands there are hundreds of acres
yellow with fruit OF all kinds, being
dried by firms and orchardists. All
these good people on Saturday were al
most as badly frightened as they could
be, for the clouds piled themselves up
on top of the mountains, the barometer
fell, and everything indicated an un-
seasonable rain. Later in the morning
few drops began to fall, and the ranch
ers, men, women, children, scurried
about, gathering up the fruit and cover
ing it as fast as possible, but before any
damage had been done the wind changed
and the clouds blew back over the

Profits in Fruit.

The Producers Protective Union did
nice little business in fruit yesterday.
Manager Malcolm Maccloud was kept
busy all day answering kilograms about
prices from all over the country, yet he
found time in which to sell twenty tons
of apricots at from 1872 cents to IA cents
per pound, and sixteen tons OF English
walnuts to one man at 934 cents per
pound. The twenty tons OF apricots,
amounting to about two carloads. will
return the comfortable sum of nearly
So, 800, and the walnuts of over $4,000.
There's millions in it.

OUR evening contemporary, after hay
ing in a series of articles foundered in
a dense fog on the subject of the appor-
tionment of congressional districts, has
at last stumbled upon the fact that it is
the state legislatures and not congress
that draw the lines and set apart the
separate districts. We thought our es-
teemed friend would stumble upon the
true business some time. But then it is
unkind on his part to couple his
advertisement with an unjust reflection
upon the Democratic party. When he
says that that party, if it should be in
the majority in the legislature, will ger
rymander the districts in it's favor, it
forgets that in 1883 Democratic legis
ture gave us the divisions we now have,
and no one has ever complained that
they were not fair. Against this look at
the state of New York. 1t has had two
Republican senators in the United
States senate for thirteen years, notwith
standing the state as a whole has al
ways been overwhelmingly Democratic.

Last year it was about 100000, 900.

A MEETING has been held in Chicago
to protest against the proposition of
keeping the Worlds Columbian Expo
sition open on Sunday. The Illinois
Legislature, which is about to meet in
special session for the consideration of
worlds fair business, is memorialized to
pass law closing the fair on Sundays.
A committee of the worlds fair commits
sion, at meeting at Philadelphia few
days ago, favored keeping the fair open
on Sunday. If this great national fair
is to be closed against visitors on Sun
days, it will preclude great number of
worthy people who have to work week
days from the pleasure and instruction
which so great an exhibition will afford.
We do not believe in a policy which
obtrudes itself and its prejudices into
everything. Whilst our people as a
mass are Christian people, yet there is
only fraction of them who are strict
Sabbatarians. There are narrowminded
persons who would, if they could, shut
out the beauties and attractions OF
nature from the general eye on Sundays,
lest they should lead to breaking OF
the Sabbath in their peculiar way OF
thinking.

Immediately on the adjournment or
the late meeting of the Illinois Demo-
cratic State Committee at Chicago, at
which, it will be remembered, a recon-
mendation was adopted to the various
Democratic county conventions meet
ing to appoint delegates to the state
convention called for June 4th, to eX-
press themselves on the subject OF
nominating a candidate for United
States Senator, the Chicago Ne,cs gave
currency to a report that the commit
tee had declared in favor of Gen. Pal
mer as such candidate, and that Gen.
Black and other Democratic senatorial
aspirants had vehemcntly objected to
the passage of such resolution. This
statement Is wholly without particle
of truth, and Gen. Black has since
published card denying the report,
and stating that he is not candidate
for senatorial honors. In this con-
ncction the Springfield Register says;
1t is due to Gen. Black, Gen. Palmer,
and to the members of the Democratic
state committee that the portion Of
the Chicago Ne,cS report of the recent
meeting which asserts that there was
lack of harmony on the question of
the passage of the resolution intro
duced by Mr.. Potter, of Rock Island
should be branded as false. There
was no resolution introduced which
contemplated having county conven-
lions instruct their delegates To vote
for Gen. Palmer" The resolution
offered by Mr.. Potter was passed unan-
imously as IL was introduced, and
there was no other resolution offered
on the subject of the nomination of
United States senator. Gen. Black
and his friends did not, as the Ne,cs
states, "enter a vigorous protest
against the resolution. There was nc
reason why they should. The field is
free to any Democrat to receive the
nomination for United States senator
from the state convention. The pro-
prietor OF the NeUs should deliver a
wholesome lecture to the reporter on
the subject OF Truth.

The Joliet Rep. SIN and Streator
Monitor, with manifesto from Col.
Plumb to back them up, have opened
their guns on Capt. Hill, our congress
man, for daring to plead consci-
entous scruples as IA justification for
voting against ousting a southern
Democrat from his seat in Congress.
II even appears in this case--that of
Featherstone IS. Cate, in an Arkansas
according to the
Plumb manifesto, both claimants were
Democrats, so that Hill didn't even
vote against admitting a Republican
over Democrat, but simply judged
that the sitting Democrat rather than
his contestant had received the most
votes and been fairly elected. While
of course, on general principles, it
would be ruinous to party discipline
to admit the plea of conscience in
any case where party interests might
suffer it certainly looks severe-dev-
ilish severe-that in perfectly harm
less case like this, just one moments
indulgence in the. luxury of good
should be visited with such
condign wrath-that, in short, as the
Monitor puts it, that one vote for Cate
has killed Mr.. Hill politically deader
than a door nail
