Another Curiosity in tho Harris Case

The announcement has been made from
the office OF the counsel for CARLYLE W.
HARRIS that those gentlemen have received
letter from the Hon. FRoTHNaKAM FISH
OF Fultonvlle. lately Justice OF the Su-
preme Court OF this State in the Fourth Ju-
dicial district. who writes that "he Is a
stranger to all concerned in the case. but
that. from what he has read In the news
papers. he thinks there 10 o reasonable
doubt OF HARRIs's guilt
This statement is q curious illustration Of
the way In which the friends Of the convict
are attempting to convince the public that
the verdict Of the Jury In the HARRIS case.
as affirmed by the unanimous Judgment Of
the Court OF Appeals. is wrong.
In reality. the opinion expressed by Jud9e
FRorHrNGHAM FISH OF Fultonvile is Of no
value whatever as opposed to that OF the
Court OF Appeals. for he admits that he
knows nothing Of the case except what he
has read In the newspapers. while the
Judges OF the Court of Appeals must have
read every word Of the official record OF the
trial as taken down by the stenographer.
There Is another reason why the views Of
the Fultonville jurist are entitled to but
little weight. In the year 1890 he presided
at a Court OF Oyer and Terminer held in
Warren county. at which one JOSEPH WooD
was tried for the crime OF murder in the
first degree. The defendant was convicted
and sentenced to death. He appealed to
the Court OF Appeals. and the Judgment
was reversed by that tribunal. 1t is quite
within bounds to say that no other report
Cd criminal case tried In this State in many
years disclosed such extraordinary errors
on the part Of the trial Judge. The opin-
ion OF the Court Of Appeals is in the 126th
volume Of New York Reports. 1t was
written by Judge PECKHAM In language
restrained but severe. and declared that the
trial Judge. in his zeal for the due adminls-
tration OF justice and for the punishment
Of crime. stepped wholly outside OF his
province and was wrong in his rulings and
unfair in the remarks by which they were
accompanied. 1t Is impossible to read this
report Of the WOOD case without reaching
the conclusion that the views Of the Hon.
FEornNGHAM FISH in any criminal case
must lack that element OF judlclousness
which alone could give them any value
or Importance.

Los ANGELES THEATER.-The floral
pageant given last night under the di-
rection OF Mr.. Henry Kramer, assisted
by his charming wife, on behalf of the
ladies of the Unity Church league, wac
most pronounced success. Making
allowance for the inevitable delays of a
first performance, and those delays were
not of any Importance, the succession of
brilliant tableauX, graceful dances, mill
tery marches and character solos, all
seen under the changing lights and with
the tasteful accomplishments Of rich cos
tuning and good music, made an enter
tainment OF the frat order.
The stage was set to show in the back
ground the great seal of the state oi
California. The miner wse there with
his pick, the chips were in motion, the
bear was in the foreground, and, most
imposing of all, Minerva, pereonated
by Mrs. A. G. Bartlett, was superbly
handsome and majestic representative
of the goddess who figures so conspicu-
oualy on the state seal. The ring OF
stars representing the states was illum-
mated by electricity. and the word
Eureka" stood out in burning letters
in the background.
Every dance and march was received
with applause that grew warmer ss the
evening proceeded. The march of the
Geraniums was especially honored, and
the minuet of the lilies wac one of the
most graceful things of the evening.
The solo dances were especially clever
and were recsived with warm applause.
Seldom has there been exhibited upon
the boards OF q theater 90 complete q

folks and those of larger growth gave for

this has ever been known. At the great

not permitted to last 80 long as to seri-

The constituted authorities should de-

A CONTRAST of the business condition
IF Los Angeles with that OF San Fran

San Francisco is suffering under stag
nation such as has not been felt in that
atty since the days of the Fraser river
excitement. The complaint of the bus
nees men is both loud and deep and the
hope for change for the better is not en-

northern section will be very short.
Wheat is unusually backward in the
Ban Joaquin region, and between San
Francisco and Sacramento the yield will
be very small, most Of it being cut for
hay. Sacramento is unusually dull, and
This lie ascribed to the poor condition Of

ton"
What Mr.. Jerome says is about IS true
as anything we have read for some time.
We know Of two boys who came out TO
this coast in 1862. One OF them got q
position as deputy recorder in the county
clerks Office few days after his arrival,
although he wasEnot qualified voter in
the state. But he had an uncle, and
that uncle had "a pull;" 80 he got a
place at $75 month. He is now man
of 80 years of age, clerking in store at
500 per month, with large family.
The other boy could find no employ
ment In town, 80 he went out upon q
ranch and pulled off his coat, for $50 q
month and found. At the end OF four
years he was foreman Of the ranch at
$50 per month; and at the end of ten
years he had band of cattle in the
Siskiyou mountains, worth $4,000. He
Is now worth over 100000, ell OF it
gained through the spontaneous in
crease of dumb beasts, and not one dol
lar of it came to him by the medium Of
speculation.
With this example 80 plainly in view,
who doubts what the retiring deputy
collector of the port Of San Francisco has
to say? The case above cited is only
one of many. Nearly every county in
the state can furnish two or three such
examples and San Francisco can proba-
bly, show five hundred at least. The
men who scorn the alluremepts of Office
are, after all, the men who have made
the history of California.
