What the q .ganixation Did For CaIiror-

The vigilance committee was a new
departure In the Jurisprudence OF the
world. says u writer in the Century.
II may be called a compromise be-
tween the regular course OF law. and
the action OF the people. without re-
gard to officers Of the law. IL was
setting upon the forces OF the mob ar
resting them in their mad course. har-
Messing them quietly, and utilizing
their powers in regular form. s stem
atically, coolly and deliberately.
1t was u demonstration that had
never before been made. and it was
left to California to make It, While
the law was laying dormant on the
one hand, and trampled down and dis
graced on the other the people tho
power Of the government In our sys-
tem-detcrm,ned to execute in legal
form what their servants bad neg
lected or ignored.
While they loved and revered the
law. respected. upheld and applauded
its faithful servants, they condemned
the faltering and scorned the false
and faithless administrators. In 1851
1t cleared the country Of Sydney ex-
convicts and all the worst elements OF
the criminal classes. In 1856 1t saved
San Francisco from the rule OF mob

and recent immigration OF other
criminals.

yet In some regard similar finding
danger from much the same elements,
but on more formidable scale. do
termiued TO act under the law. The
state government was In better hands
than in 1851 and 1856; the city gov
crnment was in better hands; the
country was in better condition.
The influence Of the Vigilance COM
mittee of 1886 had continued and pre-
vailed all the time. The ethics OF the
state were OF higher order than at tho
earlier date. The early experiences
we're valuable TO individuals as we'll
as TO the masses and when called up
for self-government the people again
demonstrated capacity that had few
parallels.
