Now Save the Kearsarpei

Congress has acted with reasonable
promptness and ample liberality upon the
urgent request Of Secretary HERBERT that
1t would provide for rescuing the famous
old war ship that lies helpless on Roncador
Reef. And the Secretary. on his part, was
no less forehanded than sealous, having
picked out In advance q wrecking company
with which to make the salvage contract
the moment the appropriation bill should
become q law. while also selecting an eneA
getic officer to cooperate In the work.
Thanks to this energy. the Orion. pow

was wrecked at Gay Head. will be on her

THE Southern Pacific Company's GEN.
eral Freight Agent, Mr.. Smurr, felt called
upon on Wednesday before the Fruit
Growers Convention to denounce as alb
solutely false certain current statements
relative to rates charged by his company.
One of these was the absurd story that
the railroad company has charged $40 a
ton on wheat hauled from San Luis
Obispo to San Francisco. But what is the
use of making these denials? The story
will still be repeated, as are hundred
other absurd ones which we find floating
in the press every day, with more or less
comment about the rascality of railroad
men. Our belief is that if the Angel
Gabriel came down and attempted to
manage railway line, and should put
freight and fares down 10 zero, with
chromos thrown in. and meals and lcdg-
ings into the bargain, the anti-railroad lie
would still live and there would be found
plenty of men to charge the archangel
with unjust discrimination and extor-
tionate rates.

trltus discharged into the rivers there is
a serious question as to whether any
proht would be left; or, in other words,
Wnether the cost of retaining the detritus
would not be Improbable to the under
taking. But the industry itself does not
propose to proceed on the basis that the
men who are to own the gold wealth of
the mountains are to extract it at their
own expense. 1t proceeds upon the
theory that the public is to pay one in
dlspensable part of the expense; that the
people who own the mines are to retain
to themselves the profit of the enterprise.
In this view of the case, exaggerated
and extravagant statements as to the
profit of gold mining become not only
injudicious, but positively injurious.
We submit to the candid judgment of
anyone who has read thoughtfully the
proceedings of the Miners Convention
held in San Francisco whether the state
ments made in the convention could be
used before the Congress of the United
States as effective argument in favor of
large appropriations from the public
treasury for the construction of retaining
dams.
Lottery enterprises are wont to issue
confidential letters to prominent citizens
lnSarious parts of the country proposing
as means of advertising that upon the
receipt OF $40 they will be permitted arbi-
trarily to buy winning ticket with
prize of from five to ten thousand dol
lars. The thoughtful business man
usually replies that, being unwilling to
be outdone in generosity, the lottery
scheme may retain the $40 and forward
the difference between that amount and
the prize to be given. When the repre-
sentatives of the mining interests of Cali
fornia declared that their observation and
all reasonable probability attending the
situation pointed to the existence of
81, 1000 900 yet to be taken from the
gold mines of California, and then asked
expense of the extraction be paid by the
people of Maine, New York and Florida,
the argument is conclusive of nothing
beyond the confessed unprofitableness of
mining. Profitable enterprises stand
upon their own merits. Whatever its
application may be, we are prepared to
declare that all enterprises, supplants
for public subsidy. whether they be rail-
roads, manufactures or mines, confess by
thatapplication the unprofitablen ess of
the undertaking in which they are en-
gagged. This would be rank treason
from the mouth of politician, whose
soul is still marching on' in the torch
light procession, but irrefragible truth
possesses both power and dignity and
may be expressed with the defiant conf
dence that it is irrefragible.

Governor Markham has pardoned
James Madden, who was convicted in
February last in Contra Costa County of
manslanghter and sentenced for six years,
inquiry having developed facts tending
to prove his innocence.
He has also pardoned W. w. Bunker,
convicted in San Francisco last May of
embezzlement and sentenced for three
years on the testimony of a Chinaman who
deposited money with him. The China
man aflerward came and drew out his
money and gave Bunker a receipt for it,
but swore that he did not do so and that
the receipt was forgery. No expert
testimony was introduced, but experts
have since testified that the receipt is i'll
the Chlnaman's handwriting and was
signed by him. Bunker had always
borne an unblemished character.
lie has commuted the sentence of All
Chow, convicted in 1872 Of murder in the
second degree, to expire the Nth inst, on
condition that he be deported at his own
expense.
lie has also committed the life sentence
OF Mock Soon. sentenced from this county

condition that he be deported to China at
MS own expense, and the lie sentence of
sing Lang, convicted OF murder in the

dition.

IN May. 1898, from Alameda County for

AN attorney in one Of the.strike con-
spiracy cases on trial at San Francisco
has demanded that subpenas issue for the
President and other officials at Washing
ton, TO testify for the defense. His ex-
pressed intention is TO have the President
explain by what authority be interfered
with the strikers, rioters and the general
lawlessness at Chicago and Sacramento.
attempt to ridicule the law and to bring
its executive officers into contempt. The
President distinctly and clearly stated
by and under what law he acted. Even
if he had not done so the defense has ac-
cess to the law and can challenge the
sufficiency of the Presidents authority,
if that is material to the issue before the
court. But clearly it is not, and cannot
be. Whether the President was justified
cuts no figure whatever in the question,
Ibid the defendants conspire and act to
stop the passage of mails of the United
States ?'' 1t was not for the strikers to
say what was mail train in it's de-
tailed composition. Obviously any train,
whether running with wheels or sliding
on ice, or floating in air, or composed of
freight, or passenger cars, or dumps or
flats. or sleepers or coaches, is mail
train, if upon it the postal authorities
dispatch the United States mails. This
attempt to drag into the trials any matter
relative to composition of the trains is
effort to befog the real issue, to confuse
the minds of the jurors and defeat the
ends Of justice. 1t amounts to brazen
effrontery, and nothing short of it. The
surprise is that the court even for a mo-
ment listened to the proposition of the
lawyer, since it was made FOR effect only,
and was of the order of buncombe in
which lawyers with hard cases sometimes
deal

The Place OF the Train Wreck is
Visible From Washington.
Yesterday afternoon number of rail-
road detectives and other officers went in
three-seated buggy to the scene of the
wreck of July llth, at Two-miIe Cross
ing, in Yolo County. for the purpose OF
ascertaining if it was possible for man
to see from caboose in the rear of the
Standard Oil Company's warehouse in
Washington the place where the wreck
occurred. y photographer was taken
along and the various points and loca-
tons photographed.
1t was proven beyond doubt that the
movements OF a person could be seen at
the point where the wreck occurred from
back Of Washington.
1t was commended yesterday by the at
torneys for the men now being tried in
Woodland for the wrecking of the train
on July 18th, that it was impossible to
discern person at trestle No. from
where the caboose was stationed in
Washington.

An Exciting Runaway on Second Street
Yesterday.
A ranch team ran away on Second
street yesterday afternoon, scattered some
recent purchases of groceries along the
street and wrecked the wagon.
The latter result came about by COLI
sion with the buggies of Major William
Mclaughlin and r. p. Burr at Second
and streets. At that point the ranch
team collided with McLaughlin's outfit
and then caromed on that of Burr. The
horses went down and the ranch wagon
turned somersault over them.
Strange to say, both Mclaughlin and
Burr escaped without much injury. as
also did the horses.

When Owens was brought to the jail he

that he had to be subdued by the admin

Chief OF Police Drew wondered how
