THE SAN FRANCISCO vIGILANrEs.

Continued lawlessness, unchecked
BY the usual processes OF criminal
law, made life and property in San
Francisco insecure. Criminals of
every grade, from the penal colonies
ofNew South Wales and Australia,
the Sandwich Islands, and other
Pacific ports, had focked to San
Francisco, allured by the prospect of
plumber and robbery 10 a community
then living in state of almost Ar
cadian simplicity and security. In
twelvemonth, murder, arson. bur-
glary and other crimes against per.
son and property were exceedingly
common. The police were inefficient,
and, like the courts, were suspected
OF COLLISION with the law-breakers.
The jails were insecure, juries bribed,
and the whole course of justice
clogged.
Finally, one Burdue, caught red
handed in murderous assault on
Mr.. Jansen. reputable merchant,
was taken to prison and put under
lock and key. The people, as if con-
yinced that this wretch would es-
cape, as Others like him had escaped
before him. silently and sulenly sur
rounded the Jail, determined to keep
watch over the subsequent proceed
ings.
William 7. Coleman, drawn
thther by mild curiosity. saw the
common thought and object of the
assembly was the speedy punishment
Of the criminal AS the temper OF
the crowds waxed more intense, he
broke silence and besought them not
TO proceed to violence, but to organ
ixe court and try the man then
and there. If Burdue was innocent,
then he should go free; and if he
we're guilty he should be hanged be-
tore the sun went down. This was
agreed to, and although, by a
strange miscarriage of justice. the
would-be murderer escaped. the Wig
lance committee of 1851 was born.
Later in that summer, May and June,
1851, two great and destructive
fires, undoubtedly set by pillagers,
swept the city with the bosom of
ruin. Millions of dollars worth OF
property and one hundred lives were
.ost in these fires. The incendiaries
were indicted. Under hair-splitting
technicalities they evaded punish
ment.
This was the occasion of forma-
organization of the San Francisco
Vigilance Committee, which had
previously had an inchoate existence,
with William 7. Coleman as one of
its active members. The names of
some two hundred substantial bust
ness men were enrolled on its books
Of membership. and these citizens
pledged themselves Ito watch, pur-
sue, and bring to justice the outlaws
infesting the city, through the reeu-
iarly constituted courts if possible,
through more summary process if
necessary" The first offender
caught was one Jenkins, taken in the
act of carrying off a safe from
store. He was tried, condemned,
and hanged within an hour. Other
arrests followed, and during the
thirty days Of active operations of
the vigilance committee four men
were hanged, and about thirty were
deported beyond the seas by out
going vessels, under the threat of
death it they returned. In every
case the proceedings of the vigilants
were characterized by decorum; and
every accused man was granted
talr trial by jury, competent counsel
oelng assigned him. Harper's

what it is like"

as the effect on me personally goes, a

ON FARMING

why will men put off what ought
70 be done now when every sur
rounding says now is the time? In
business as well as religion, there
seems never the less on the part of
some to have a disposition to put
OFT what ought to be done now.
The farmers as a class are not free
from the same destru tive tendency
OF p%ostponing to some future time
what ought to be done now. This
Is wrong, the soone the thing is
done that needs to be done, the bet
ter. Ii we acquire the habit of
postponing things to some future
time we will be sure to find at some
time in the near future that YOU
have crowded more that needs to be
done than it is possible to have we'll
done and everything that needs to
be done on a farm needs to be we'll
done, and the more we put off, the
shorter the space of time we have to
d. what must be done if we succeed
In making a crop. Then it behooves
US to avail ourselves of the earliest
opportunity Of doing what needs to
be done, but many adopt the old
adage, time enough yet" and the
good weather we usually have in
the fall and carly winter is permit
ted to pass. No blowing done, no
plant land burned, the winter rains
and SHOWS and extreme cold weather
the land becomes sobbed and freezes
up for weeks. and by and by the
spring time comes, and no farm
work done and the land still wet
with all the farm work undOne, no
land plowed, no plant land burnt,
no ditching done. The conse-
quence is the work is all to be done,
| and the time is too short to accom-
plish what ought to be done as it
should be, hence a poor preparation
and a bad crop is the result, all of
which grows out of bad manage
mer renders is chad seasons" Now
a word to the wise, never put off
until to morrow, work that may be
done to day, and by adhering to this
rule we will hear less of bad seasons
and crop failures. Our best farmers
push their work while the poor far
mer waits for his work to push him,
and the consequence is the good far
mer has time to do his work well
and succeeds, while the poor tar.
mer's work is badly done and he
fails. A. w.

Is Life
Worth Livinq?

That depends upon the
Liver. If the Liver is
inactive the whole sys-
tenn is out Of order-the
breath is bad, digestion
poor, head dull or aching,
energy and hopefulness
gone, the spirit is de-
pressed, a heavy weight
exists after eating, with
general dependency and
the blues. The Liver is
the housekeeper of the
health; and a harmless,
simple remedy that acts
like Nature, does not
constipate afterwards or
require constant taking,
does not interfere with
business or pleasure dur
ing its use, makes Sim
mons Liver Regulator a
medical perfection.
I have tested its virtues personally, and
know that for Dyspepsia, B~iliOusness an
Headache, it is the best medi
cine the world ever saw "a tried fort!

and none of them gave NOR
than temporary relief, but the Regulate

Twelve Years of Established Merit
NOTE OF
TO THE PUBLIC:
DWIGHT, Ill, April 80, 1S9

DWIGHT, ILL.,, April 80, 1892.
As a matter of justice to ourselves and to
the reputation of DR.. Leslie E. Keeley's
Double Chloride Of Gold remedies, for the
cure of the liquor, opium, morphine and
tobacco diseases and Neurasthenia, we warn
the public that these remedies are used by
no institution or sanitarium in the United
States except those established by ouI COM
pany under the uniform name of "The
Kelley Institute"
All others claiming to use our remedies
are frauds and imposters.
We have now sixty Kelley Institutes es-
tablished in various parts of the United
States where the Kelley treatment is adj
ministered and the Kelley remedies sold.
We, however, caution all to examine well
and know that they are dealing with genuine
representatives, authorized by US, before
taking the treatment or purchasing remedies.
The fraudulent establishments use the name
of "Bi-Chloride of Gold" or similar titles.
The newspapers do not discriminate sufi-
GENTLY to know that they are imitators, and
so put down all accidents occurring at such
establishments as being brought about by
the Kelley treatment. This is a matter OF
much concern to US, hence this warning.

| by their competitors. 1t is quite OBJ
vious that the enhancement of the
price of our manufactured products
resulting from this policy, not only
confines the market for these prod
ucts within our own borders, to the
direct disadvantage of our manufac-
turers, but also increases their cost to
our citizens.
A measure has been prepared by
the congressional committee embody-
ing tariff reform on the lines herein
suggested, which will be promptly
submitted for legislative action. It is
the result of much patriotic and I'M
selfish work, and I believe it deals
with it's subject consistently and as
thoroughly as existing conditions per-
nit.
am satisfied that the reduced tariff
duties provided for in the proposed
legislation, added to existing internal
revenue taxation, will, in the near
future, though perhaps not immedi-
ately, produce sufficient revenue to
meet the needs of the government.
The committee, after full consider
alton, and to provide against a tenn
porary deficiency which may exist
before the business of the country ad-
justs itself to the new tariff schedule,
have wisely embraced in their plan
few additional internal revenue taxes,
including a small tax upon incomes
l.
ments.
In my great desire for the success
OF this measure I cannot restrain the
suggestion that it's success can only
be attained by means of unselfish
counsel on the part of the friends of
tariff reform and as a result Of their
Willingness to subordinate personal
desires and ambitions to the general
good.
The local interests affected by the
proposed reform are SO numerous and
SO varied that if all are insisted upon
the legislation embodying the reform
must inevitably fail.
In conclusion, my intense feeling of
responsibility impels me to invoke for
the manifold interests OF a generous
and confding people the most scru
pulous care, and to pledge my willing
support to every legislative effort for
the advancement Of the greatness and
of our beloved country.
