been in Toronto, has addressed circu-
lar to the people of America, concerning
his troubles with the Ogden (Utah) uni
yersity, of which he was elected presi-
dent. He says the kilograms attacking
him were sent out by "that infamous
liar, Rev. ]. Wesley Hill, of the First
Methodist church, at Ogden" He
goes ON to say the Ogden university
scheme was "a private snap for specula-
tion," and that the aforesaid Hill ''lives
a double life." Small is equally severe
on the board of directors, boldly charg-
ing them with getting up bogus sub

AS Moore figured on the wrong valua-
tions for vols. 1, Z, 8 and 16, wipe out
$29 ,046. "A he also figured wrong val
uation for vol 8 and brings into account
(Which the auditor does not) the differ
ence in rates between $1.00 and $1.20
and 81 .25 and $1.50, which in the aggre-
gate amounts to $9095 :08; (the auditor
is right, for he could not charge only at
the rate levied by the board of super
visors); also the credit given by the
auditor at the same rate. For some un-
accountable reason he adds special
school tax vol. 8 twice $1004.00; (this is
already in the figures $50, 1292D. He
also adds the Fleischman warrant to
swell the grand total, which see no
need for, unless it be to parade the fact.
Total, $39,65S.52.
Now, where is the deficiency?
The conclusion from the foregoing can
only be that Moore has manufactured
figures to suit himself, and to further
some end of which am not aware.
The records show only the figures as
give them, and the figures of Moore can
not be found on the official records of
this county.
In concluding this statement will say
that all moneys collected by Mr.. Bulls
have been paid into the county treasury
and properly credited by the auditor
and treasurer.

KANSAS Cry, May 16.-Arthur Dean
Queal, aged 81, member of the real
estate firm of 0. Fl. Queal & Co. of this
city ,mysteriously disappeared December
7, 1889. No clew to his whereabouts
was obtained until last month, when
the cashier of the Kansas City Safe
Deposit and Savings bank received
through the mail from the coroner of
central Middlesex, London, key with
a tag belonging to a vault rented to
Queal. The coroner reported that the
key was taken from the body of young
man who had committed suicide by
drowning in April, 1890. A photograph
was sent to the coroner, and established
beyond doubt that the body of the sui.
eide was that of the missing Arthur
Quoal.
INDIANAPOLIS, May 16.-O. R. Johnson,
who until recently was United States

shown the message in reference to Ar

at the time of the finding of the body.
The man went under the name of Dean
in London. He came to London about
the 1st of January, 1890, with $500 in
cash and drafts for $500 more. This
money he spent in carousing, until ne

CRUSHED AND BURNED.
How a Sacramento Boy Met His Death
in a Railroad Collision.
Two Freight Trains Dash Into Each
Other Short Distance From
Leadville, Colorado.

The details connected with the death of
fireman +. S. Brouse in railroad COLI
hslon in Colorado a few days ago have
been inquired after by large number of
the employees of the railroad shops in this
city. on account OF the fact that the de-
ceased was young man in the prime of
life and very well known in Sacramento,
where his mother, Mrs. S. Spencer, lives
with her husband on L street, between
Fifth and Sixth.
When the news of the young mans
death was received here by private tele-
gram, only meager account of the acct
dent was obtained, and his friends have
been anxious TO learn the particulars.
MIR. Spencer received a full account of
the collision yesterday. and it shows that
young Brouse met u most horrible death.

of Conductor Jones, Engineer Meehan
and Fireman Wilson, was going west.
Both trains were freight, and running at
good speed. On rounding a curve few
miles southeast Of Leadville. they dashed
into each other and in the wreck that fol-
lowed, young Brouse was caught, held in
his engine and killed. 1t took several
hours TO release his body. He had been

THE PARDoNING POWER.
Two Bills Now Pending Before the
Legislature.


EDS. REcoBD-USIoN: The unsavory
reputation of the two last State admins
trations arises out of the method of issu-
ing the great majority of pardons that set
free scores of the hardest and most incor-
rigible criminals that ever prayed on the
life or property of a people. In no other
State has the pardoning power been so
flagrantly and prodigally used by the
Executive as here iii California, unless,
indeed, it was by the late Governor Tay-
lor of Tennessee, who surrendered his
official life in that State in the beginning
of this year.
Governor Markham's administration is
just commencing, and all things unite to
say that it opens and promises well. And
1t is the duty of all the people to unite to
make 1t clean government. Above all
things, the pardon scandals should never
again disgrace any official term. / see
there are several plans by which it is
sought to remedy that evil. One is that
coming from the Judiciary Committee OF
the Senate-iuaking the Governor, Secre-
tary OF State, Controller, Attorney Gen
eral and the two State Prison Wardens a
Board of Pardons. This plan is radically
and entirely wrong. 1t proposes to make
this an amendment to the Constitution,
so as to take the power of pardon out OF
vail, it puts the executive branch of the
government on level with his subordi-
mates, and only gives him an equal voice
with The others in passing on an applica-
ton, whereas the idea of our system of
government is to make him the real par
doning power.
Again, the Attorney General should
have no voice as medium of pardon.
but should stand aloof to interpret the
law when required. 1t is his duty 10
represent the State before the Supreme
Court IN all criminal cases on appeal be-
fore the Supreme Court, and it is not
proper to place him in the position of the
executive in cases where convicts are ask
ing freedom when he, perhaps, has
worked hard to send to prison. Then to
take the Wardens from their duties as Of
ticers in charge of criminals, to pass on
The merits of petitions for leniency, only
enables the Wardens to exercise their
likes or dislikes in consultation on the
Board Of Pardons. They should be re-
served as witnesses when required. The
bill that seems to be the one exactly fit
ting the requirements of the occasion is
that introduced by Assemblyman Gould
OF MERGED. 1t IS not an amendment to
the Constitution, is mex pensive, and
keeps the pardoning power in the hands
of the Governor. BY its provisions dis
interested boards appointed, which hears
and considers applications for pardon,
and then reports to the Governor. and he
acts according to his best judgment, after
having received the advice and sugges-
tons of the members of the board. It
will be well ii the Legislators will COM
pare the bills carefully before acting.

The highest and lowest temperature
yesterday was as follows for the places
named: Olympia, 40 and $40; Portland,

The present prospects show signs of
snow in the mountains, on both the
Trucllee and Oregon divisions of the
Southern Pacific Company's lines, al
though the outlook last night does not
appear to point towards heavy and con-
tinuous storm, but positive evidence of
that fact is wanting in the paucity OF re-
ports from which to extract data.
