A LAW SAVED.

The Supreme Court has reconsidered
its opinion concerning the constitution
ality of the Act directing that convicted
murderers shall be executed at one of the
State prisons. II had held that because
there is in the Act no saving clause to
prevent it being an attempt at &c post
Jocto legislation, that the law was
lifeless. On argument on rehearing
of the McNulty case the attention of the
court was drawn to the section of the
Political Code that is saving clause and
avoids the point made by the court.
This section 1929 reads: 1.-The repeal of
any law creating a criminal offense does
not constitute bar to the indictments of
information and punishment of an act
already committed in violation of the law
so repealed, unless the intention to bar
such indictment or information and
punishment is especially declared in the
repeating Act"
This section, of which the court was
not advised in the briefs submitted by
either side on the first hearing, puts an
entirely different face upon the matter.
1t saves the Act from unconstitutionality.
since it is to be assumed that the Legisla-
ture passed the Act with the existing sec
tioninfuIl view. The SupremeCourtt there
fore reconsiders its opinion, and holds
that as for all murders committed and
convictions had prior to the passage of
the Act the new law has no application,
and punishment must be inflicted under
the old law. But for all convictions had
after the passage of the new Act, punish
ment must be inflicted according to its
direction.
This saves to the judicial system a
most just law, and inaugurates a system
justified by humanity, the interests of
society and the conservation of the
morals of the people. Criminals deserv-
ing the halter will now be executed in
the privacy of the State Prison. There will
be but few more disgraceful and democrat
izing scenes such as eounty-seat hangins

The Republican City Central Commit
tee proposes to rent a large room and ex-
emplify the new ballot law for week
prior to the city election. A very good
idea and one, we trust, that will be carried
out. At the same time let the tricks OF
the bosses be mplifed-how they
manage to keep dummies in the voting
line to delay voters. By exposure of that
trick many an honest voters rights may
be saved. If the suggestion is thought to
be facetious we beg leave to assure the
manipulators that it is in dead earnest.
Observation has proved that in the late
hours of an election many man is shut
off from voting by the skill of the manip-
ulator in keeping the line full at the head,
so that tail-enders never arrive at the bal
lot box.

ONE of the arguments of the free coin
age advocates in the House is that there
can be no dump of silver on the market
because there are not anywhere any large
stocks of the metal. But legislation is
not for the present. If it is conceded that
the fear of an immediate dump is ground
less, it does not mean that there never
will be. On the contrary, the passage of
a free coinage bill into a law would have
the effect Of encouraging collection of
stocks to dump upon our silver market
The product of mines would alone be
sufficient to flood us with the cheaper
money, without waiting for aggregations
of silver in other forms to pour in upon
us. The Government raised its purchase
of silver from two to four and half
millions month, and inside of eighteen
months the price fell off twenty-six cents
to the ounce. This negatives the argu-
ment of the free coiners that silver food
will not follow free coinage adoption.
While it is very true that silver cannot
come in and be exchanged for gold with
out the concurrence of the owners of
gold, as the Bland report contends, it is
also true that whoever will have debt to
pay can pay it in coin worth very much
less than gold of the same face value, and
that will effect an exchange of silver for
gold that no law nor fnanciering can
prevent,

a PETITION TO SIGN.

The petitions are now out and in circu-
lation in all the States praying for the
adoption of the resolution now before
Congress, to submit to the States the pro-
posed sixteenth amendment to the Con-
stitution of the United States. Everyone
who loves the country and is a friend OF
free institutions SHOULD sign the petition,
which involves no partisanship, no party
political doctrine, but is intended solely
for the preservation of our free institu-
tons. Now, when there is peace, no
issue made about it, and the people are
in that political calm when such guards
can be thrown about the Republic with
out contention, is the time of all others
to set forever at rest the fear that the
ecclesiastical may encroach upon the
civic in our Government.
The proposed amendment, which was
advised by President Grant and in 1876
introduced by Mr.. Blaine and passed
the House of Representatives reads as
follows:
DO State shall pass any law respecting an
establishment of religion or prohibiting the
free exercise thereof or use It's property or
credit, or any money raised by taxation, or
authorize either to be used, tor the purpose OF
founding, maintaining or aiding, bY aDprODri-
alton, payment for services, expenses or other
wise, any church, religious denomination or
religious society, or any institution, society or
undertaking which is wholly, or in part,
under sectarian or ecclesiastical control.
On the 18th of June, 1876, the Republic
can National Convention at Cincinnati
declared: 1.-THE public school system OF
the United States is the bulwark of the
American Republic, and, with view to
its security and permanence, we recon-
mend an amendment to the Constitution
of the United States, forbidding the appli-
cation of any public funds or property
for the benefit of any schools or institu-
tons under sectarian control" The
Democratic national platform, adopted
at st. Louis, June Is, 1876, declared
''We do here reaffirm our faith
in the total separation Of Church and
State, for the sake alike of civil and re-
ligious freedom" It also referred to
''the public schools . which the
Democratic party has cherished from
their foundation, and is resolved to main
tain, without prejudice or preference for
any class, sect or creed, and without
largesses from the treasury to any"
These national pledges serve to show
not simply the approval by the states
men of both parties of the principles
sought to be secured by the proposed
amendment. but the fixed and substan-
italy unanimous opinion in its favor OF
the American people, whose intelligent
devotion to these American principles
was appealed to by the national platforms
of the dominant political parties.
Already some 10000 names of citizens
have been attached to the petitions, and
it is believed that million will be
signed before the 1st of April. No man
can object to the proposed amendment,
in our opinion, who believes that is best
for Church and for State to remain for
ever separate and distinct, and that no
money raised by taxation or for national
or State uses should be applied to aid de-
nominational works.

THERE has been a year of trial and
want in Spain; miners and agricultural
laborers have alike felt the stress of
hard times. AS has always been the
case for fifty years past, that at such times
radical, socialist and anarchical manifesto
tons have developed. The anarchist
finds his best opportunity to stir up
trouble in the time when the purse is
lightest and the stomach the least sup
piled. Nevertheless the disturbances re-
Gently reported in Spain are not general,
and there is no reason for believing that
Spain is any danger of being revolution
lied by socialists or nihilists.

THE attempt to form a Republican Club
in this city, with crossroads clog to the
obligation of membership, met with fail
ure second time Saturday night. We
refer again to the matter solely to empha-
size the fact anew, that management is
exceedingly short-sighted that attempts
to throttle free thought and gag independ-
ent action. Where national policies,
supported and advocated by great ma
tional parties, are at issue, club forma-
tons are useful. They are serviceable
means of information, avenues through
which the party literature is distributed
and the campaigning is largely accom-
plished; they are forums of debate, and,
since they possess, by reason of their ma
tional character, a dignity not possible to
merely local politics, they tend to elevate
the lines Of political action and courtesy.
1t is, therefore, very discouraging to wit
ness efforts to tie national clubs and issues
to the tail of township politics and ward
contests for mere municipal places. The
self-respecting and sincere men Of party
will not be dragged into such organiza-
tons, and the sooner the attempt to har-
ness such clubs to local carts is aban-
doned the better. There are regiments of
Republicans and battalions of Demo-
Gratis in this city who will not be dra-
gooned into clubs handicapped by pledges
to support the schemes Of ward bosses.

DESERVING OF PRAISE.
Honest and Manly Expression From a
Contemporary.


Sacramento Evening Bee, Feb. 22d.l
The RECORD UNION has entered upon a
new volume. While it has frequently
been in directly opposite current TO
that taken by the Bee, and while we have
often had occasion to chide it for its ways,
still we have always liked it for its en-
thusiasm in any cause in which it is en-
listed. 1t throws itself heart and soul
into the matter, and it forces its readers
to partake somewhat of its enthusiasm.
The Bee has frequently endeavored to
stir it up. simply because this paper de-
lights in admiring the vigorous manner
in which the RECORD UNION maintains
its position and "gets back
As newspaper, however, the Bee has
never had any cause to complain against
its contemporary across the street. The

has done much to build up this city, to
promote its enterprises, to help along its
worthy objects, Its managers and editors
are to tia front in assisting every good
plan whSse object is the promotion of
the interests of this section.
The fight of that paper against the giant
evil OF land monopoly, and the mastery
manner In which it has marshaled its
figures, are deserving not only of the
praise of journalists capable of appreciat-
ing good work, but also of the gratitude
of the people, more particularly the
home-seeker

the situation in one sentence: 'SheeH-
men have gone out of business because it
don't pay; food is not in sight for the
fiocks, and lambs have been destroyed to
