The Sontag brothers, train robbers, are having a rough time of it. On Tuesday last, George, in attempting to escape from the State prison at Fol som, California, with others, was se- verely wounded by shot from gat- ling gun. John, footpad and pal of Chris. Evans, was, on the 2sth, sup posed to be dying. He is reported as having lockjaw and blood-poisoning, can neither sleep nor eat, and is un- conscious most of the time. The latter gentleman unless he has gone down to dusty death, is in Fresno prison, awaiting the action of grand jury, but it is not likely that that adjunct Of justice wiz be called upon to investi- gate his alleged crimes

The real crisis in the contention over silver has been precipitated by the &C., ton of the Indian Council in closing the hints of India Co the free coinage of silver, and the declaration that a gold standard will be adopted by that country. The immediate effect of this announcement upon the silver market abroad and in New York was heavy decline, the metal being quoted on Tuesday, in New York, at 75@75lc., and London, S5 pence At the latter figure the intrinsic value of silver dollar is 5S} cents. This is the lowest price ever touched by silver, and yet a further decline is looked for. This &C., ton on the part of India, instigated of course by England. is fatal to any in- ternational agreement looking to the increased use of silver as money.
 The United States will now be fcrced to take a decided stand upon the ques- ton, and as this country is the largest producer of silver, and also holds a very large stock of silver coin and bullion in it's treasury, the necessity for immediately adopting free coinage of silver, independent of any other nation, becomes urgent.

"Sse how this country is growiagr' says an exchange. "In 1850 there was one criminal in every g, ,5OO of our pop ulation, but in 1890 there was one criminal in every 7S6. :" Can it be that the increase of crime is owing to the facility of escaping ths hleshes of the law by witnessus and iurors who are not schooled to regard the obligation of an oath, or is it tho opportunity which the qualities of the law offer malefactors to escape their just deserts? From this showing how long will it be until every man has a law unto himself?
 Referring to the delays with which the courts freqdently favor influential criminals, the Atlanta Herald says The trouble is, that when case is postponed from day to day, the guilty IS given decided advantage. A maud lin sentiment is created in his favor, the public becomes tired of the finger ing prosecution, and the result is that crimes grow less serious, and the jury, themselves, unconsciously influenced by the winding technicalities through which the trial has to go, becomes like wise indifferent, and justice is thereby defeated.

1t was given out oold that Monday would
be the date of organization and fully a
hundred politicians are trying to astertain
what the Cause of this committee jugglery
is. Some of them would like to have
something to say before the committee
organized, but the Aniidon forces are
pretty slick and fooled" them about the
time of the organization. Sam has evi-
IDENTIFY been reading history lately and
ascertaiued something about the custom
prevailing in former days when a
man was hung first and tried
afterwards; be followed suit by organ
izing the committee first aud hearing
objections afterwards. Sam is a little bit
too slick for the other fellows and he pro-
poses to enjoy all the rights and privileges
to which he is entitled by reason of his
recent victory.
The committee was organized exactly

NO CITY PHYSICIAN.

The city is at present without physi-
clan. This was forciby brought to the
minds of the police yesterday morning,
when Officer Fox brought TO the station a
poor fellow named Oliver, who was suf-
fering intense agony and apparently dying
from what is known as painters collie.
After a good deal Of ,elephoning a doctor
could not be obtained by any means, and
finally Mr.. Oliver was taken to the city
hospital, where permit was first asked
for, but the patient was in such a critical
condition that he was admitted
to a room without the permit. A good
stiff drink of whisky was given to him
and he felt better. From the time he was
brought to the police station till the tine
he was taken to the hospital, about an
hour and half, he was i'll great distress
and perhaps would have died had it not
been that his body was continually rubbed
to keep him warm and aid the circulation.
1t looked for time like the police would
have Il corpse to dispose of.
