PAY THE CLAIM.
The acknowledgements Advice to the
State Prison Directors.
Constables Cannot Make Business of
Auctioneering Without Pay
ing License.

AT the request of Warden Aull of the
Folsom State Prison Attorney General
Hart has examined Assembly bill No.
377, an Act authorizing the State Board
of Prison Directors to pay for certain
skilled labor used in the construction of
the dam and canal at Folsom Prison and
making an appropriation therefor, and,
also, the contracts between the Prison
Directors and the Folsom Water Power
Company in reference to the claim of the
latter for skilled labor employed In the
construction of the dam. He arrives at
the conclusion that it is the duty of the
board to employ all the labor necessary
for the building Of the dam, and unless
the board and the State comply with the
conditions of the contract, he thinks the
State is liable to be put to expense and
litigation, with uncertain results in refer
ence to the title of the property. He adj
vises that the claim Of the company be
paid, because it is just, and the State will
be saved about 81 600, and the title to the
property will be completed.
CLERKS SALARY-LoMPoC BONDS.
The Attorney General rendered an
opinion to Speaker Coombs OF the Assem-
bly, yesterday, stating that Hugh NJ
Burke, Chief Clerk of the Ways and
Means and Appropriations Committee of
the Assembly, was entitled to 50 per
diem from and after January 27, 1891,
when the section of the Political Code was
amended creating such position and fix
ing the salary at SS a day.
In reply to communication from Hol-
ton Webb of Lompoc, who wrote to At
torney-General Hart asking whether or
not an election held in Lompoc School
District for the purpose of bonding the
district was valid, the polls being open
that on account of the failure TO keep
the polls open from sunrise till 5 O'Clock
in the afternoon the election was illegal
and invalid, and the bonds if issued
would be of no effect.
CONSTABLE IN THE AUCTION BUSINESS.
E. II. Madden, President of the Board
of Trustees of Watsonville, wrote TO At
torney-General Hart the other day ask
ing whether or not a Constable has any
greater right to carry on an auction bust
ness for his own benefit, without paying
the regular license, than any other citi-
zen.
Mr.. Hart says that the law is plain on
the question, and that Constables are only
entitled to collect their fees for their
services as Constable; and the fact that
they are ConstableS does not give them
any privileges greater than any other cit
lzen. The Constable of WatSonyille had
no right TO sell ct auction unless selling
on execution) without paying license as
an auctioneer.
In giving the opinion the Attorney
General says he takes it for granted that
there IS no ordinance in the town which
gives the Constable the right to do so

MODERN FANATICS.
The Motives That Have Governed Diff
ferent ASSaSSinS

The Motives That Have Governed Diff
ferent AssaSsinS.
EDS. RECoRD-UNIoN Upon looking
over list of men who have assassinated
conspicuous persons during the last three
hundred years, find the ruling motive
with them has generally been morbid
love of notoriety.' Some have possessed
an unusual appetite for the good things
of life with small ability to procure those
good things in a legitimate way. A
charitable world pronounced them in
sane, and they frequently sought to
escape their fate by affecting insanity.
In ancient times insanity was consid-
cred crime; in modern times crime is
considered a result of insanity. There is
kind OF family likeness among the
noted assassins of modern history. Fran
co.'s Ravallac, for example, who struck
down Henry vi. of France in the prime
OF his llluStrlous career, was wonder
fully like Guiteau, the assassin of Gar
field, in character, in previous life and in
the pretext of his crime.
The French assassin, like Guiteau, was
personally repulsiye. He was equally
1ndisposed to the steady exertion which
brings prosperity. He was a constitu-
tional tramp. He had been long in
prison for debt, as Guiteau would have
been many times if he had had his deserts.
Each sought to make himself the hero of
dlsat1ected party by destroying the head
of the opposite party. Each used religion
as a preteXt and a cloak. Each was styled
a typical, bad man; for the essential
nature of wickedness is shallowness,
himsiness of texture, triviality of mind,
moral impotence.
Our forefathers We're, perhaps, scien-
titically correct when they applied to such
persons the term, ntiScreant, or mis-
created.
Gerard, the assassin of William of Or
ange, possessed obvious points of resem-
blance to Ravaillac in every step of his
career. He, too, belonged to the univer-
sal "bummer" species, sometimes po-
Itely called dead-beats. He, too, was
pious tramp, who in Protestant Holland
affected extreme zeal for the Protestant
cause, but who was in reality intent on
making his fortune by killing the enemy
OF Philip H., King Of Spain. Philip
claimed William as his subject and had
publicly outlawed him.
In Gerard there was probably an ingre-
dient of the real fanatic. He believed
that if he killed the Prince of Orange and
escaped, he would become Spanish
grandee OF large estate, as his heirs actu-
ally did. If he killed him and lost his
own life, he believed he would be a
grandee in the kingdom of heaven.
One OF the least execrable of modern
assassins was Damiens, who inserted the
blade of q small penknife three-quarters
of an inch in the side of Louis XIV. of
France. He probably did not intend to
do the King serious harm, but only to
call his attention to the deplorable state
of religion in France at that time. He
was respectable and industrious serv-
ant, but crazed by religious excitement.
He was a fanatic, pure and simple, and
one who had pockettull of golden louis.

A Man Loses His Money and Has a
Woman Arrested.
Victor Raymond a cattle-herder, came
into the police station yesterday morning
in a demoralized condition from over
indulgence in liquor, and wanted to
swear to a complaint charging Gertie
Allen, a girl who resides on lower L
street, with robbing him. City Attorney
Hart made out the document charging
her with grand larceny, and Raymond
swore to it. He claims that he went into
her house about half past ten O'Clock
Monday night, and that a friend of his
took him there. He says he paid her So,
and atterward found that his silver watch
and about $50 in money was gone.
Raymond's friend says thelformer told
him he only had 50 when he went in
Officer Lowell arrested the girl and she
gave bond for her appearance. She
frankly admitted that he was in her
house, but she did not touch his watch or
see any of his money excepting the So he
gave her. She states that he was quite
drunk.
Raymond went into several other places
that evening, and the officers are inclined
TO believe he does not know where he
lost his money, if any was taken from
him. He was locked up in cell so as to
be in condition to appear in court this
morning.

has been accomplished, he desires a con-
veyance of the title to himself
He asks that the court appoint COM
missioner to make this conveyance, and
also asks that a guardian be appointed

New YoKK, Sept 28.-The Anchor Line
Steamship Circassia, which sailed hence

and five feet wide in her starboard bow.
Projecting from the hole was a quantity
Of wreckage, including the bowsprit and

laden schooner outside Of Sandy Hook
while she was going at full speed.
The Circassia was left In a bad con.

by the shock and it was decided to re-
turn here. The schooner colliding with
the Circassia is the Daylight of Boston,
which is completely wrecked forward Of
