WHAT Is LAW?

Oh late, at least in California. there has
been wonderful perverson of the princi-
pies of law and justice in some of cur courts.
We are familiar with a case in which one
court was prompt to dissolve an injunction
against parties to whom our citizens were
paying large sums of money for public adj
verttsng which the same court declared IL
legal; and in another court, when the Board
of Supervisors were striving to put stop TO
Illegal demands by the same parties, an in
junction was promptly granted against the
Supervisors; hut there has been no partica
lar hurry in obtaining decision which
would relieve the people from paying fur
Their illegal charges, for the case has re-
manned in allegiance, we can scarcely say
how long. Another suit, which we have
heretofore noticed, was for property, some OF
which had been distracted. 1t failed because
the court decided that where two culpritS
had taken money, 1t was necessary to prove
how much each one had taken. Further
more, in the case referred to. both of the
parties had acknowledged having taken
money. This brings us TO the following
editorial paragraph, which We copy from Il
San Francisco newspaper:
The release of Zwald, the Sacramento farmer,
who confessed 10 numbering TWO wives at the
East, was a fOregOhe conclusion. The Eastern
authorities probably had no clear proof against
the man. and as lie could not be convicted on his
own confession they decided not to give him free
transportation across the country. OF
course, i'll Zwald's case, he ran little risk, any
sklful lawyer would secure his acquittal on the
ground OF insanity, that elastic plea which COW
els so many varieties or crlminalty.
We suppose our contemporary had come
to the conclusion, that a criminal could not
be punished on his own testimony from hay
ing read the decision Of our San Francisco
courts to which we have referred.

WANTED-THE TRUTH.

II is not often that there has been an in
teiligeut and persistent search after truth in
this city: Eyes have often been turned to-
ward the spot truth was supposed to occupy,
but something has generally happened to
keep searchers from reaching it. The
Grand Jury just impaneled has been started
in search for facts, with instructions not
Ia quit until the kernel of truth has been
found. We do not assume that there is a
man on that jury who would be turned
aside il allowed the exercise of the fullest
freedom, but the conditions under which
the search will be conducted are such that
any faltering will be as fatal t. the searchers
u pursuit would be to the original offenders.
1ue charge Of Judge Wallace is explicit,
and in some respects aggressive. He has
pointed out the duty of the Grand Jury so
plainly that no excuse can be given for a
failure to accomplish desired results. What,
then, are desired results? First among
them is the removal of the impression that
there is no crime in stealing from tie
public. This mistaken idea lies at the root
Of all public wTong-doing. Some men who
are fairly honorable in the conduct of private
business become unmtigated raseals when
allowed to participate in public business.
Il is not supposed that the officials who are
City Hall last December to their own resi-
dences have been in the habit of stealing
coal from private cUal-yaTds. But they did
not seem to think there was much harm in
stealing coal from the public. The amazing
frequency with which legislative votes have
been sold may be attributed to the failure
Of the public to enforce the lawful penalty
again ST such transactions Supervisors and
members of the Legislatures are openly
charged with selling their influence, but as
yetno consequences have resulted. Perjury
has been invoked to cover up the origna
otfense. but the penalty against perjury has
never been enforced. Offenses of this nature
have become so common that the presump-
ton is now against a man who accepts
office. 1t requires a good deal of courage
in aman who intends to do right to let his
name be used in connection with public
office. The work of the Grand Jury is to
reach the bottom facts in public affairs. Let
the public know who has been true and who
false. When there is sufficient evidence of
guilt let the accused be brought to trial in a
court that is disposed to continue the work
the jury has begun. Already it is said that
the new crusade against villainy will amount
to nothiDg-that there are departments in
the Sup erior Court that will not dare to try
such cases on their merits. While there is
much ground for this belief, there is hope
that weak men may be strengthened by the
knowledge that public opinion will uphold
them in a fearless discharge Of their duty.
There are times when public opinion is luke
warm, but it is not likely to be for some
months to come.

THE WHEEL coMpANY's COLLAPSE.

The failure of the American Wheel Com
pany raises the question whether a vast
combination doing business in different
parts of the country can produce more
economically than individual enterprises.
The American Wheel Company had shops
In six States and supplied States in which
1t had no plant. 1t is estimated that the
company has supplied wheels for seven
eighths of the vehicles manufactured in
this country. Combinations of this charac
ter contend that one management is more
economical than a larger number, that The
advantages OF the best machinery are more
easily secured, that extensive ramifications
enable them TO buy and sell with better
knowledge OF the markets, and that in varl-
Gus other ways union of shops is conducive
both to the prosperity of owners and of EN-
ployes. Opponents of these combinations
contend, on the other hand, that these adj
vantages do not compensate for the loss of
the personal supervision and individual in
teilgence which smaller firms manifest in
the conduct OF their business The en-
pioyment of especial TALENT in each depart
ment would seem likely to lead to better re-
suits than where owners undertake all the
details of management themselves. The
Standard Oil Company is pointed out as an
Illustration Of the benefits of combination.
That company has covered all America and
the best part of Europe, and made every
body rich that has owned share of stock

OUT OF WHOLE CLOTH.

General Alger has declared the interview
in which he was represented as saying that
Mr.. Blaine had distinctly said that he was
a candidate for the Presidency a fabrica-
ton. No interview of the kind ever took
place. Mr.. Blaine had never said or init
mated by word or letter to General Alger
that he was a candidate. General Alger
was also represented as saying that he
would not take second place, and that he
would not accept the Office Of Secretary of
War in case of the retirement of Secretary
Proctor There certainly is some way to
reach newspaper writers who imagine in
terviews with prominent men. While few
papers may profit by such devices, the press
as a whole is brought into contempt. a
decent newspaper which is imposed upon
by writers of bogus interviews should LET
other newspapers and the public know who
tue bogus interviewer is. There is A class
OF papers whose statements carry no con-
siderable weight They have deceived the
public so often that the public look to other
sources for facts. There are newspaper
Droprietors who act upon the principle that
the people like to be fooled. The bogus in
terviewer also thinks it ''smart" to aid in
deceivng the public. But paper of real
standing would consider deception of this
nature a reflection both upon its character
and upon its intellige nee. III once made
victim, 1t should spare no pains to establish
the fact OF its innocence of intention. This
could not be more effectively done than by
exposing the real perpetraior of the fraud.
An interview which is touched up with the
writer's imagination is more difficult of de-
lection. Ia case Of difference OF state
ment between the interviewer and the in
teryiewed, it might not be easy to tell which

PARTLY OUR FAULT.

NJ. II. de Young is now in Chicago lament
ing over the refusal of the Chicago Di-
rectory to confirm the nomination of Max
well, and later that of Forsyth, as Chief of
The Horticultural Bureau of the Worlds
Fair. For base ingratitude and selfish ac-
tionS," says the man who is misrepresent-
ing California in Worlds Fair councils,
commend me to the Chicago Board" The
California Commissioner can ind case of
base ingralitude and selfish action nearer
home H knows of a man who secured his
appointment as Commissioner as the price
of the support of the paper he controls TO
the official who controlled the appointment
in his political aspirations. Such at least,
is common report and belief. The office
secured, this man used the influence il gave
him to bring about the nominations of two
unfit men as Chief of the Horticultural
Bureau. These unfit men were both re-
jected, ana to get even the man who pro-
cured their nomination opposed the n0mina-
ton of a Californian who was recommended
by every local body which was especially
interested in the matter. 'For base ingrati-
tude and selfish actions" this man whom De
Young knows so well is pre-eminent.
If the Horticultural Department had been
given to some other State at the start
California would not have complained.
We had right to expect 1t, but
are somewhat accustomed to submits
sion TO the will of the majority on the
other side of the mountains. But the re-
lection of General Chapman and the refusal
of Director General Davis to nominate
Shorb have aroused public feeling in this
State. 1t will be impossible to create that
enthusiasm in respect to the fair that would
have existed if we had been fairly treated.
OF course the State realizes that the fault
is partly our own. There would have been
no trouble about securing the appointment
of Chief either for General Chapman, Mr.
Shorb or other competent men if we had
been properly represented in Chicago.

in it. But at the basis of the Standard Oil
Company's immense business lies product
of nature which is limited in quantity. The
secret of its success lies in its ability to
mouopolize this product of nature. II is not
clear that its processes of converting petro-
leum into oil are better than might have
resulted from individual enterprise. The
American Wheel Company could MOI secure
the monopoly of the raw material of its
products and il has failed. The facts see IN
to be IN favor of individual enterprise. A
few monstrous companies are not conducive
to the interests of the people. They are. in
fact, combinations whose interests are to
destroy competition.
