TIE HRUNER CASE.

Tie testimony OF Senator Spraaue is the
most damaging arraiGument Of the Examiner
that has vet been made before court or com
mittee. This testimony, in connection with
that Of Attorney Bull, places the ETdminer
IN worse position before the public than
the Examiner has succeeded in placing As
semblvmau Bruner. Mr.. Bull testified that
AN Examiner reporter attempted to black
mail lim. Senator Sprague's testimony, cor
roboratad as it is by Reporter Sheehan of
the Sacramento Bee, makes strong show
ing Of a conspiracy on the part Of certain
empIoges OF the EcdmiHer 10 implIcate MI.
Biuuer in an improper use of his influence.
The defect of the Examiners case is that it
did not wait for results. 1t fired its mine
in the apparent hope that Mr. Bruner would
be killed BY the force Of the blast 1t had
proof thar MIR. Bruner recommended the ap-
po.n.menJ OF certain pers II on the police
force. Ii that person had been appointed
there wOuld have been some evidence that
Mr. Bruuer had something to sell. But the
person recommended has not been APP
pointed. MI Bruner is shown to have
done what public men often do-to have
used lis influence to secure an appointment
toapuaIie position. Senator Sprague's testi-
mony certainly leaves it an open question
whether or not the 800 certificate of deposit
vas accepted in ayment Of influence or as
a means Of entrapping the parties who, &C
cording to Mr.. Bruner's belief, were laying
a trap for him. The extreme improbability
that any sane man would give 500 for
simple recommendation for an appointment
lrecludes the idea that the sale Of positions
on the police force was regarded by Mr..
Bruuer as a source Of profit
This matter appeals more directly to Mr..
William r. Hearst than to any other man in
this community. No one supposes that Mr..
Hearst sanctions the shady operations that
have been traced to men in his employment
His ineXperience in the management of
daily newspaper has rendered him the
victim of designing knaves. Mr.. Hearst
can have no sympathy with such proceed
ings. He is one of the richest young men in
the United States, finely educated, with
brilliant future before him. He should see
that tEis future is not obscured by unwilling
association with gang of blaekm3ilers.

THE GRIPPE Is HERE AGAIN.

There can be no doubt that the grippe,
which visited us last winter, is again upon
US. The State Board Of Health admits as
much. Its symptoms have varied in some
particulars since last year. 1t does not
seem to be invariably accompanied with
bronchial trouble. In many cases there
is no cough, and the malady is only
identified by the initial chill, fever, and
pains in the bones, which are char
acteristic of true Influenza. In quite
a number Of cases it is accompanied
by slight pneumonia or pleuro- pneumonia,
which in feeble constitutions may assume
severe type. This may account for the IN
usual mortality from pneumonia reported
in FebruarY-160 deaths being counted in
population Of 1856.
OF this annoying, but not generally dan
gerous disease, few features have been OBJ
served on the occasion of its periodical Wis
its. 1t is a febriie disorder, whose chief
symptom is a catarrh of the respiratory
system. 1t usually ends in slow but gradual
convalescenee, the mortality under ordinary
circumstances being reckOned at . per cent
OF the cases. 1t is generally accompanied
by loss of strength and depression of spir-
its. 1t is epidemic, and in the past it has
appeared to travel, like cholera, from east
to west. 1t is supposed to be occasiOned by
the presence in the atmosphere Of Il specific
organism which enters the body in the air
that is breathed, and rapidly multiplies IN
i'll the food on which it lives is exhausted,
when it peTishes and disappears. Hence, it
is admitted to be both contagious and infec-
tious. Ii this theory of its origin be sound,
it follows that little good can be done by
medicines. though they may mitigate some
Of the more annoying symptoms. 1t is al
ways best to consult doctor, even if a
rapid cure is not expected.
Two rules will generally be found to ap-
ply in al cases of la grippe. The first is to
stop the chill with which the attack usually
begins, AID this should be done with hot
bottles, and in obstinate cases with the use
of a hot brick stepped in alcohol At all
costs the temperature of the patient must
be restored. This accomplished, the loss of
strength caused by the disease should be
met by generous use of digestble and nu-
tritious food. Physicians generally supple
ment this treatment By prescribing a num-
Der Of drugs which may be OF service, or
may not. The chances are that they Will do
10 harm. The patient should remain in
doors, in room that is free from drafts and
suitably warmed. He should. so far as he
can. keep up his spirits by cheerful reading
and conversation.
1t was found last year that people who
had had the grippe were left in crippled
condition when it disappeared They re-

SENATORIAL.

Among politicians it is considered proba-
bic thata combination will be effected TO-
day which will lead 10 an election Of Sena-
tor on Tuesday or Wednesday. The vote on
Monday is not expected TO be decisive, but
will possibly indicate the final result. At
the present tine ii is not admitted that
money has been used to Influence members.
The reason is believed to be the fear of eX-
IoSure. There has as yet been NJ sign OF Il
popular uprising TO prevent such result,
but I'll ere is Il good deal of feeling in the
matter. Men in both parties are becoming
sensitive about the reputation the State is
getting abroad on account of recent Sena-
torial elections. THE CALL trusts that the
negotiations which are now in progress will
be conducted without a consideration of a
sack" Any combination built up on that
basis will surely go TO pieces. Any can
didale who may be elected by the use of
money Will be confronted in Washington
with evidence of his guilt. If the people
are not thoroughly aroused they aye watch
full. The boOdlers in the Legislature are al
ready pretty well known, ard il they con-
centrate in the support of any one candidate
the circumstance will be regarded with
suspicion. There is a group Of Republicans
who will not vote for any aspirant who
opens sack" They do not want money
for themselves, and do net mean that can
didate shall succeed by giving money to
Others. If this group we're twice as large
the situation would be much improved.

PACIFIC RAILWAY AID BONDS.

The Chicag Herald has arrived at the
conclusion that as the Government cannot
take possession of the Pacifi2 railways with
out considerable loss, it would be better to
let the bonds run at low rate of interest a
hun dred years than to take possession of
them. Speallin Of the Union Pacific the
Herald says:
That comrany has its own first mortgage for
S27, 229. coo ard tile Kansas Pacific first mort
gage for S6,3O3. 600 These liens the Govern
meut must assume before II can take possession
OF tie property. It's own lien is S33 $50 ,512
principal, and The balance of interest which it
has paid exceeds 500 100000. While the amount
OF the Sinking Fund is about S9.60O,000. There
fore II the bonds were now due and The Govern
meut were to take possession The property would
cost it neatly sS7. OoO0o BY the time the
bonds actually mature the cost would reach at
least $50 100000, or nearly three times the
amount for which, according TO Mir. Huntington,
the road could be duplicated.
The Central Pacific, according to the re-
port II The Commissioner Of Railroads, was
indebted 20 the Government June SO, 1889,
in the amount Of S63, G04, 500, the sum of
S27, 500, $50 being bonds issued to it and
$50, l4S, 80 in the form Of interest. Credits
for Transportation and the amount of the
Sinking Fund reduce this Indebtedness to
s g, 256 $50. The two roads VIII therefore
cost tie Government, in the event of fore
closure, in round numbers S142,O00,OO0. OF
this sam more than S64,OO0,OOO is in the
form Of interest on bonds which the Gov
eminent had issued to the two companies.
The HerdtPS conclusion that the Govern
ment would lose money by taking posses
sion Of the roads is probably correct. But
there is another view to take Of the case.
The Government is dealing with men who
have extracted immense private fortunes
out of the bounty of the Government. In
such cases the accepted code of morals
does not require close observance of
the dollar and cent view of the case.
Is it good public policy to reward
the practices by which the projectors
of the two roads have enriched themselves
at the Governments expense by allowing
them further benefits? The statement has
often been made that the cost OF the con-
structiOn Of the two roads was so great that
in order to secure the completion of the
roads the Government was obliged 10 accept
second mortgage bonds in place of first.
But it is toerably we'll known that the diff
ference between the actual cost of the roads
and the cost as shown by the books of con-
struction companies was sufficient to place
the projectors among the wealthiest men in
the country. AS matters now stand num-
Der Of men have made hundred millions or
more out of the construction and manage
ment Of the Pacific railroads, which are now
reported TO be worth about one-third of
their cost. There are great many people
In the country who do not think that the

RECIPROCITY.

The reciprocity authorized by the Mckinley
bill is very simple. 1t empowers the Presi-
dent to withdraw sugar, mOlasses, coffee
and hides from the free list, so far as it APP
plies to the products Of nations which re-
fuse to receive our products on reciprocal
terms. Brazil has made the required changes
in her tariff law. If other South American
countries do not make similar changes du-
ties will be collected from the articles men,
toned which they send to US. 1t is said
that Senior Romero and Mr.. Blaine are now
at work on a list of articles which Mexico
may admit free of duty to continue to enjoy
the American market for her coffee and
hides. Sugar and molasses are not exported
from Mexico TO any considerable extent
There is no other reason why Canada may
not have the benefit of this reciprocity ar
rangement, except that she does not pro-
duce the articles mentioned in the reciprocity
clauses of the tariff as subject to the Presi-
dents proclamation. The reciprocity clause
of course, only concerns such countries as pro-
duce the articles named. When Mr.. Blaine
undertakes to make treaty of reciprocity
affecting other articles than those named in
the Mckinley tariff he will do so with the
understanding that whatever agreement he
may come to with the representative of any
other country must be submitted to the
Senate.

PERTINENT QUESTIONS.


Now that the Legislature has passed the bill
making large appropriation to the Worlds
Fair will you kindly inform your readers If the
comnss toner's who are 10 dlsburse the money
will be required 10 give a suitable bond etc? If
all bills Will be carefully examined and audited
before being paid? To whom the final account
viii be rendered. ETC.? | fiud many tax payers
who think this very bad investment, If not I'M
lawful, at best, and they certainly have light
to know what the money is to be used for, and
who Is to have Tie handling OF it. INQUIRER.
The commissioners who are to di,burse
the 100000 appropriated to enable Califor-
MIA to make a good showing at the Worlds
Fair have not yet been appointed, but it is
expected that they will be men whose char
acter Will be guaranty that the money
will be honestly expended. The office is
not very lucrative. and consequently would
not compensate men Of only moderate
means to procure bOndsmen to secure the
State against dishonesty or mismanage-
ment The method of expenditure will be
largely a matter of opinion. The commits
sion will be fortunate if its best efforts are
not sharply criticized. Undoubtedly many
taxpayers think the appropriation a bad in
vesJment; but it is too late to discuss the
proposition on its merits. The bill has be-
come law, and the Taxpayers should make
the best of it.

LYNCH LAW.

A curious story of race prejudice comes
from New Orleans. Some time ago the
Chief of Police, who was named Hennessey.
was shot dead on his own doorstep. The
people of New Orleans made up their minds
that he had been murdered by Sicilians be
longing to the criminal class, and who had
been the subject OF vigorous pursuit by Hen
Messy. Mobs gathered, threatening lynch
law. Better counsels prevailed, however, and
nineteen, who were suspected of the crime,
were arrested and placed on trial. 1t is not
alleged that the trial was unfairly con-
Quoted or that the jury had been packed.
but they acquitted six of the nine prisoners
and disagreed as to the guilt OF the three
others. The verdict appears to have thrown
New Orleans into commissions.
The penple of that city were evidently
bent on offering Up a victim or victims to
the names of the late Hennessey When
the jury baked them they burst into
Mysteries. The jurymen had hard work to
get out of the way OF the mob, and 100 lead
ing citizens signed call for a mass-meeiinE
OF men prepared to DO that which tGe ordi-
nary machinery Of justice had failed 20 do"
TIE result of the call is given in detail III
a disratch from New Orleans. Eleven OF
the nineteen indicted are reported as hay-
ing been killed One was taken out and
hanged 10 tree, another to lamp-poSt, the
rest being shot in their cells. 1t is said that
the committee which issued the call is COM
posed Of the better class of citizens and
business men, who are satisfied that the
safety of the community demands vigorous
action.
1t may be that in New Orleans, as in other
cities, the administration of justice some
times breaks down and that these Sclians
ought 10 have been found guilty. Jurrs
have been fix d in other cities besides New
Orleans. This particular jury may have
been fixed. But the fact vii have to be
very clearly established by indisputable evil
dence before the heading citizens" will be
justified in the taking of the law into their
own hands. That is a dangerous expert
