ONE, NOW FOR THE OTHERS.

A Yolo County jury has returned a
verdict againt Worden, the train wrecker,
of murder in the first degree. 1t never
can be said that the jury was not clean;
that it was influenced by passion, preju-
dice or any other form of bias. 1t was
jury without objection, and against which
not single charge has or can be brought.
It is a righteous verdict that the jury
has returned. There cannot be in the
mind of any sensible, unprecedented
human being who has heard or read fair
reports of the trial of Worden single
shadow of doubt concerning his guilt.
Yet. unquestionably, Worden. in wreck
ing the train at Trestle 50" was but a
tool; he was the '!man' acting by order
of the masters"
Justice viii fall short of its Office and
be.covered with shame if it turns out that
Worden alone is made to suffer and the
guiltier men who were his accomplices in
act and in foreknowledge go free. 1t viii
be travesty upon the scheme of the law
for punishment of the guilty, and for
assertion of the right of men to live, if on
this one wretch alone there is felt the grip
of the hangman's moose.
No person cognizant of the facts of
the murder of Sam Clark and the BOYS
in Blue at the fatal trestle honestly holds
that Worden, and he alone, put up and
executed the infamous job. To assert
that this wretched man, now under the
shadow of the gailows, without cogniz-
ance of and by aid of goodly number of
others equally guilty with him committed
the foul deed, is to insult intelligence and
write down human reasoning power as
fantastic fiction.

CHARLES MCREARY'S WILL
1t Is Denied Probate Because He Hat
Only One Witness.

1t Is Denied Probate Because He Had
Only One Witness.
On account of the irregularity in the
will of the late Charles McCreary, the in
strument was not admitted to probate
yesterday in Department Two of the SUI
perior Court.
The will is partly in the handwriting of
the deceased and partly in a printed
form, and is signed by only one witness,
instead of two. If the will had been
an Photographic one-drawn upe ntirely in
The deceased's own handWriting-it would
have been admitted to probate; or if the
will, as it is, had been signed by two or
moro witnesses it would have been ad-
mitted.
The attorney for the estate knew that
the will was defective in this respect, but
it was offered for probate because it was
necessary that some disposition should
be made of it. Mrs. McCreary, the wife
Of the testator, will now apply for letters
OF administration, and the property will
be distributed in accordance with the
terms of the will.
So far as is known, there is only one
similar instance in the records of this
county. that of the Billings estate, the
sheet on which the viii was drawn hav-
ing printed date line containing the
words: Sacramento, CAL, -, IS"
When Mr.. Billings made his will he
filled out the date in the usual manner,
but the will was denied probate be-
cause it was not entirely in his hand
writing. Had he had two witnesses to
1t, 1t would have been all right.

MAKING A FARCE OF THE LAW.

Having'h had occasion to commend the
course of Judge Devine upon the Police
Court bench in most respects, we regret
the necessity of now asking if the cleo
ton law is to be made farce in his Court
as far as it forbids the opening of saloons
and the selling and giving away Of liquors
on election day crime?
Three offenders have been before the
Police Court for this misdemeanor, and
the fine imposed has been 81 so in each
case. AT that rate the saloon men can af-
ford to violate the law. 1t is cheap sort
of license to do SO. The provision of the
law referred to is wise one; that for a
long time it has not been rigidly enforced
here, makes nc sort of difference. The
Court could not take notice of that fact
The offenders had been notified by the
action of the Trustees, which was made
public, and they had no sort of excuse in
the nature Of ignorance. They are not
only presumed to know the law, but in
at leastsone case the defendant defied the
officer who arrested him. The police
1Danewho found him offending warned
him to desist. He treated the warming
with contempt, and insulted the head of
the department. by telling the Rounds
man to come in and take drink" he,
the offender. had "fixed it." or would six
IT," with.the Chief. And this man is let
off with the trifiing fine of 81 80.
Are the others whom the Trustees de-
clare offended, and shall be arrested, to
be let off as easily? Is the law to be the
more brought into contempt? Was there
anything in the cases calling for the dis
pensation of mercy? If this is to be the
rule of action in cases of offenders against
the elective franchise laws we may we'll
ask whether in Sacramento it is possible to
enforce State law at all.

ALTGELD has been heard from again,
and among asserted causes for the Demo-
cratic defeat he insists that Federal inter-
ference in the suppression of disorder
during the great strike was potent fac
tor. What nonsense; the Democratic
President was supported in his action
more warmly and openly by Republican
leaders than by Democrats. General
Harrison was the first TO commend the
policy of the Administration, and follow
ing him came all the great leaders of the
Republican party without single excep-
ton. On the other hand, not few
Democratic chiefs opposed the President,
and more than doubted his authority.

GERMANY declines to become party
to the proposed international interior
ence in the war between China and
Japan-and Germany is right. The war
has not yet reached stage to demand in
reference on the ground of humanity,
and the proposition to interfere, as now
made, is simply selfish on the part of
England and France. Those nations are
hurt commercially, hence their desire.

There are several dogs going from here
to MERGED to attend the interstate match.
which Will take place on November 18th
and 18th.
p. Kelly has three flyers entered, and
p. w. Sheenan has also entered the
famous Mollie s., which took the first
prize of $500 last year. Victor Nobel has
also entered his dog Rip Van Wrinkle,
and Fred. Neary's dogs, Ballarat and
Cousin Peggy, will also start.
All of them are fnely-bred dogs, and
no doubt will make good showing on
the MERGED plains.
San Francisco coursing men are very
enthusiastic over the meeting, and, it is
understood, will have about forty of their
best hounds to represent them. A Mer-
ced paper says there are near there three
men from San Francisco with about if
teen dogs ill training for the last three
weeks, in order to have their CANNES
acclimated and in good form for the
match. There are several others going
from here whose names have not been
ascertained. The stake is about 81 200.

its sad, heart-hurting pathos, in that SUBJ
tie and marvellous publishing, through
suggestiveness, of the very secrets of the
human soul, Edgar L. Wakeman's "The

one of the most masterful pieces of fiction
OF our time. Its descriptive PASSAGES

lesson of Christian charity and human
forgiveness have never been surpassed,

THE NEW YORK CONSTITUTIONAL
AMENDMENTS.

For four months and more New York
has been holding Constitutional Con-
vention, not to create new Constitution,
but to amend the existing one in very
many of its provisions, and to add sew
eral new propositions.
The work of the convention was sub
mitted to the people at the election on
Tuesday, after altogether too brief time
for consideration. Indeed it is incon-
ceivable that one-fifth of the electors
studied the propositions, thirty-three in
number, that were submitted. Two of
the propositions of especial local import
ance were submitted for separate voting,
but all the others were Jumped and the
voter had to take the lot or reject the
whole.
In this group were some weak and
doubtful provisions, but many of high
value and supreme virtue. These latter,
said the most influential of the New York
press, "Are so valuable and necessary
that rather than suffer their defeat. the
whole of the propositions should be ac-
copied"
The Judiciary article is held alone to
leaven the lot so clean, just and advanced
are its provisions. as the result of it's
adoption will be to bring the courts closer
to the people, and make the latter feel
their responsibility for the doing of
justice.
The legislative article adopts the rule
that all bills shall be printed at least three
whole days before being put upon pas
sage; that no appropriation bills shall
carry riders or matter not germane to
them. II is also provided that at least
ninety days shall elapse after naturaIiza-
ton before the new-made citizen can
register and vote. Municipal elections
are to be separated from national cleo
tons, and civil service rules are to pre-
vail in State and municipal appoint
ments.
Forest destruction is forbidden, and the
Legislature is required to provide laws in
that interest, and direct their rigid en-
forcement. The provisions regarding
public relief ana charities, and public
education are said to be wise, and such as
the mass of the people have demanded.
These will be considered hereafter.
One provision prohibits pool selling,
and it awakened the hostility of the
sporting fraternity and of horse breeders.
and at last accounts. their opposition to
1t had taken form that put the whole
batch of amendments into some peril.
However, with two exceptions, the people
voted upon them as a whole, and the
good being SO greatly in preponderance,
the belief may be entertained that the
thirty-one grouped propositions have
been adopted. The two submitted sepa-
rately related to canal improvement and
operation, and to apportionment, and are
not therefore of concern outside of the
State.
One of the grouped amendments pro-
vides that useful labor shall be excluded
from the State Prisons. This is opposed
to all experience and reason, and is moth
ing short of vicious. 1t seems strange
beyond example, that the friends of labor
who favor such provisions cannot see
that the best possible use to make of a
convict in labor's own interest, is to work
him at that which will make him self
supporting, and tend to take him out of
the criminal class, that is supported at
the cost of all who work.
