HUMoRs OF THE LAW.

According to prominent criminal law
yer Murderer Fredericks cannot be hanged
within about ten months unless he assists
in the operation. If he foregoes his right
of appeal after conviction the period of
suspense may be shortened. Ten months,
then. is the shortest period within which
a murderer who admits the fact Of killing,
but pleads not guilty. as he has right to
do, can be made to pay the penalty of the
law prescribed for the crime. Fredericks
really has no defense. His counsel cannot
raise the plea of insanity with any chance
of success. There we're eye-witnesses of
the murder. to say nothing of his OWN ad-
mission. The intimaton that Fredericks
might attempt to show that the bullet from
Mr.. Melvin's pistol was the actual cause Of
Herrick's death is not entitled to much
consideration. 1t will be disposed of on
the same ground that plea of self-defense
would be. 1t was the deliberate act OF
FredeTieks that caused Melvin to fire, and
if by any fatality Herrick came within the
range of the bullet it was still Fredericks'
act But there does not seem another peg
to hang defense upon than that Herrick
drew his pistol first or that Melvin shot
Herrick while intending to shoot Freder-
icks. Still, with case so clear, it seems
that the law will'need ten months to act.

AROUND THE CORRIDORS.

"Just prior to my leaving home my attention
was called 10 singular case of mental trcu BILE
and the misfortu nes which brought II about"
said w. +. Burnett OF Minneapolis, Minn.,
yesterday. at was that OF man named John
StultZ, VINO had just returned from Washing
ton, where he went to secure copy of patent
on some land which he used 10 own near Sioux
Falls. Notwithstanding the fact that he Is
about 60 years OF age. he had walked every
foot OF the distance 10 and from Washington
except about 800 miles which he rode on the
cars. The trip consumed over three months.
Several years ago SiultZ had a large herd Of
cattle poisoned, over forty OF them dying In one
night. But a short time after this his wife
hanged herself ana he soon disappeared from his
home ana wandered off TO Oregon. He owned
4SO acres OF land, but left il horribly mort
gagged. and when he returned he found that his
property had been sold and that other people
were living upon II. His Idea in going 10
Washington was TO secure copies OF the origi-
nal patent TO the land. whereby he imagined
he might again secure possession OF the
property"

UNDER WHICH KINGP

"a railroad" says Mr.. Coils P. Hunt
ington, SIS concentrated capital"
Moreover" the representative of con-
centrated capital adds, "a railroad is a
private affair and is nobody's business but
the men who run it." Il is about time to
have an authoritative definition of what a
railroad is and what it is not No one is
in better position to give that definition
than Mr.. Huntington. 1t was he who
established the rule that railroad might
charge all the traffic would bear. Ii a
railroad is entirely a private affair there is
no reason why two ormore railroads should
not com bine to cinch the public. A limit
could be placed on railroad charges only
by competition and railroad-owners GER
tainly might combine to prevent competi-
tion.
Mr.. Huntington's opinions OF railroads
have undergone some changes within
thirty years. When he was before Con-
gress urging that body to indorse the
Central Pacific Company's bonds, a rail-
road did not seem to him so much private
affair as it now does. IL was then great
national undertaking. 1t should be run
in the interests Of the people. The gentle
men who might be at the mead of 1t were
rather trustees than owners. It was not
intimated then that a railroad was entirely
private affair
Now that Mr.. Huntington has defined
what a railroad really is the policy of the
Government toward railroads is made
clear. There is no reason why private
affair should not pay its debts. If the
owners have so skinned the railroad that
it is not worth its debts, the private
property of the owners becomes respons-
ible for the discrepancy. A private man
or man engaged in a purely private busi-
ness cannot be both solvent aud insolVent
at the same time. he cannot be insolvent
as to one piece of property and solvent as
to other pieces of property. He cannot
boast of his millions and refuse tn pay his
debts. Mr.. Huntington has greatly sim.
plified the railroad problem. He repre-
sents the railroad-owner as exercising O
power that should only be exercised by o
Government. Either Mr. Huntington
must aDdicate or the Government. There
is no room for two such absolute powers
in one country.

POCKET YOUR LOSSES.

The Riverside Enterprise reads people
in all parts of the State a. much-needed
lecture on the folly of sectional pickering.
Referring to the damage done in localities
by the recent cold snap the Enterprise says:
In each locality growers seemed to have the
idea that they could enhance the value OF their
own product by pretending that their neigh
boris crop had been damaged. And so the war
has been waged. very costly war, TOO. until
now recriminations fly back and forth with re-
newed bitterness, the precise phase OF The con.
troversy being the responsibility for recent
shipments OF some lots OF frost-bltten fruit.
In Eastern cities where most of our
oranges are sold the people have but little
idea of localities in California. Riverside,
Los Angeles and Tulare are all the same
to them. If they buy an orange from
which the frost has stolen the juice the fact
is charged against California oranges. 1t
does not do for the fruit-growers In one
county to lay the fault upon the fruit
grower of another. If there is one county
which has predomin ating reputation for
honesty the fact has not yet got abroad.
Most men, fruit-growers aDd otherwise,
are as honest as 1t is their interest to be.
Some, perhaps, are honest from an innate
requirement of their notions, but the pro-
portion of such is not so large as it might
be. But it is clearly for the interest of
fruit-growers in all parts Of the State to
send only good fruit East. There is an
immense supply here and an immense
market there. Our grand object should be
TO enter this market as rapidly and as CON-
pletely as possible. To do so We must
stand our own losses from frost and other
casualties. III we try to saddle our losses
on our customers they may decline to con-
tinue TO deal with Ms

OUR STORE OF SILVER.

MIR. Brayton Ives made speech before
the New York Chamber of Commerce
while the memorial urging President
CIevevand TO veto the seigniorsge hill was
under consideration of which the follow
ing is an extract:
Every ounce OF silver taken from the store in
the treasury for coinage under the proposed
bill would be taken from an amount already
pied ged by the Government as security for the
notes already issued.
The law which authorized the purchase
of silver bullion provided that the differ
ence between the cost of tie silver bullion
purchased and the currency value might
be coined for the benefit of the treasury.
This difference is what is known as the
seigniorage. Mr.. Ives. therefore, appears
TO have made a statement that every one
but himself knows to be incorrect. The
necessity of assuming that Mr.. Ives made
statement that be knew to be incorrect
is avoided by assuming that he did not
know what other fairly Informed men do
know. Again, the act of 1890 does not
provide that the silver purchased under it
should be held as collateral for the pay
ment OF the notes issued to purchase il
with. The treasury notes are a promise
to pay coin on the presentation of the note
with demand for payment. but not a
promise to pay coin out of any particular
deposit. They are not certificates which
require specific amount of coin to be held
in the treasury while the certificates do
the work of money, but notes issued on
the credit of the Government. The same
security is behind them that is behind
Rreenbacks or bearing bond is
sues. TIE whole Indebtedness OF the
United States rests upon good faith and
ability of the Government to keep It's
promises. How does it happen then that
the few millions Of treasury notes issued
in payment of silver must have collateral
behind them?
The most damaging part of the admins
tration's financial record is the fact that
the purchasers of the S50,O00,00O bond
issue were allowed the direction of the
financial policy of the Government. A
promise actual or implied was given that
there should be no more silver coined.
This promise will stand in the way Of
new bond issue. which will shortly be
necessary to enable the treasury TO con-
tinue its ruinous policy Of receiving all
sorts Of currency in payment Of dues and
paying out only gold.
