Sperm oil has the greatest erosive effect
upon metals and mineral oils the least,
according to late tests that have extended
over about year. Iron was most acted
upon by tallow and least by seal oil.
Bronze was attacked very slightly by
olive oil, but vigorously by linseed oil.
Lead was most injured by lard or whale
oil, and least by olive oil. Zinc suffered
little from lard oil, scarcely more from
mineral oils and most from sperm oil.
Copper was not eroded by any Of the
mineral oils, very little by sperm oil, and
most by tallow.

LET 40 GUILTY MAN ESCAPE"

We presume most of our citizens realize

dered TO very large amount during the
past few years by miscreants who have
simply scotfed at the efforts made TO reach
them. Persons have been elected 10 Office
who were understood in advance to be ready

tain number Of bosses in San francisco are
wealthy. They are known to have in their
possession property to very large amount,
say from one hundred thousand to a million
dollars each. How did they obtain itP BY
acts even worse than simple theft. Not
only has the property been stolen from the
people but the acts of the thieves have been
covered up by some OF our courts, for, be 1t
understood the bosses and the men whom
they served have had judicial officers under
their control. The Grand Jury-wbich
there is such an effort in certain quarters TO
break down-was assembled under peculiar
circumstances. In the first place, Judge
Wallace doubtless thought there was an
effort to pack jury. Be this as it may,

son in san Francisco or the State who has
kegt himself informed of our affairs during
the past few years who is not thoroughly
convinced that many of our officials have
betrayed their trusts; that they have sold
US outright. How long are such frauds
to continue? Buckley has gone, so it is
said, but there have been men to assist
Buckley, or he could not have made a mill
4 L.,
and shall we get rid of them, or will they
after the present Grand Jury excitement
has blown over continue to manage our
affairs as in the past?
Public opinion, as we have suggested, is
not misled as to the frauds which are per-
petrated, for in every portion Of the State
the newspapers make their comments, of
which the following editorial, copied from
the San Jose Herald, is a sample:
LET NO GUILTY MAN ESCAPE"
There Is no doubt in the minds OF intelligent
citizens generally that some OF the members Of
The Legislature sold their votes more than once.
and certain names have even been published in
connection with the matter. And the action OF
the suspected persons since Tie Grand Jury of
San Francisco has been in session has been such
as to confirm The suspicion against them Many
OF them have left the State, and those that are
left prepared to start at ones the moment
there is any hint Uf an Indictment against them.
And let US hope that the Grand July VIII do its
fun duty and bring every one Of them 10 Justice.
II IS a monstrous shame that men who are
specially chosen 10 project the interests of The
people should sell their votes ana influence TO
schemes for the direct spoliation Of the people.
N crime be greater than that, and the
wretehes who have been guilty Of 1t should be
hunted down and sent TO the penitentIary for the
full term prescribed by the law.
