ANARCHISTIC LOGIC.

The English anarchist, Mowbray, was
jugged at Philadelphia the other day for
breach of the peace, whereupon at a
Burns agitation meeting in Boston We'd
nesday night, where Burns, Miss Will
lard and Lady Somerset spoke, resolu-
tions of sympathy for Mowbray were
adopted. The plea was made that it is
necessary to protest against any limita-
ton of free speech.
Indeed? Is Indictment to revolt,
crime and assault upon the law to be
permitted under the banner of free
speech? Not while the American free
man is capable of distinguishing between
license and freedom. Mowbray, the
alien anarchist, has not been denied free
speech; though the guarantees of the
Constitution were never intended for
alien disturbers, but for law-abiding
Americans, he and his crew of agitators
have been given free rein. In Pbiladel-
phia he grossly violated a well-known
peace ordinance. one that has long been
in force and frequently invoked. Like
any common offender he was arrested
and punished. Thereupon at Burns
meeting, held in historic old Faneuil
Hall, resolutions were adopted denounc-
ing the Philadelphia authorities for en-
forcing the city ordinances.
Really, while disclaimer of indorse-
ment of Mowbray's doctrines was entered
at the time, in fact the passage of the res
olutions amounted to an anrchistc act.
They constituted declaration of anarchy,
despite the disclaimer. And this is the
kind of people with whom Miss Willard
has lately cast her fortunes. Is it any
wonder that she should clamor for Gov
ernment ownership of all newspapers as
she is doing? And yet, in the same
breath. this woman is shouting for ''free
speech" How much free speech would
there be with press muzzled by the
dominant party in government? Again
we ask, as we did some weeks ago, has
the Willard woman gone daft?

OLD PROBABILITIES IN ERROR.

The United States Weather Agent at
San Francisco needs correction. His
errors regarding water hight in the Sac
ramento River are due no doubt to his
aack of knowledge of local conditions, he
being new conner in California.
The agent, for instance, receives a re-
port of the stage of the water on the
upper reaches Of the river, and evidently
concludes that it represents the stages at
all other points on the stream. On Satur-
DAY he had report of the hight of the
water in the river, but Immediately
credits to the stream as far down as Sac
Famento high water mark not true here,
and gives the supposed fact to the San
francisco press, which in one paper reads:
AT Sacramento the hight of the river
ut noon was 22.1 feet, but Forecast OBJ
server Harmon thought there was no
likelihood of the river reaching the dan
ger point, which is 25 feet.''
He had no such report from Sacra-
mento that the danger point is twenty-five
feet, because the local agent is we'll ad-
vised and knows what the truth is from
his daily personal measurements. The
Ievees at Sacramento will not be in dam
ger of being overtopped until the water
IS 81 feet, and when that is approached
the whole country west of Sacramento
will be three feet under water. Here
irY
OF the water in the Sacramento River
than there is at low-water mark. The
hight of the water at Colusa or any sim
liar up-riyer point is no more indicative
of water conditions here than would be
the stage of the water in the Mississippi
at st. Louis
We object to the forecaster in San Fran
cisco guessing wildly concerning local
conditions. He has at this point
thoroughly reliable and long experienced
observer, from whom he can receive re-
ports hourly, if need be, and who does
report to him several times daily. There
is, therefore, no excuse for these mis-
leading reports which appear in the
San Francisco press, and which are in
variably credited to the forecaster at that
place.
1t was probably on the strength of one
of these wild guesses of the agent that
San Francisco paper the other day acted,
when it telegraphed its correspondent at
Sacramento to send it half hourly reports
of the expected hoou" at Sacramento,
with photographs of the river front
scenes, when the water should enter the
city. At that exact time the water was
not within ten feet of high or food
mark, and there was no more anticipa-
ton of a dousing here than there was of
the city taking wings for a flight to
Alaska.

THE disclosures of Saturday of gross
frauds in the vote in San Francisco for
County Clerk, and which came out on the
recount now being had. so astounded the
Superior Court that it has ordered the
Grand jury to at once proceed to investi-
gate the matter. In four precincts within
the limit of about 900 votes the contestant
has gained in the recount 1872 votes. The
evidence of fraud was palpable; so un-
mistakable that there was no attempt
made to deny or explain it. The election
officers simply counted the votes OF one
man for another, and clearly did this
with view of accomplishing definite
purpose. For instance, in one precinct
where there were less than 200 votes the
contestant gains on the recount no less
than IS votes. Let us hope that this mat
ter will be probed to the bottom. A fraud
upon the franchise is the grossest of
political offenses. If the citizens vote is
to be counted against his expressed will,
there is an end of free government. If
thieves can steal mans ballot and go
unpunished, successful assault is made
directly upon the citadel of liberty, which
repeated, will level it.

immeasurably to be preferred to those as

The probability is that the great storm
is at an end. and that the threat of the
sky and the humidity of the atmosphere
at this time Indicate only light flurries of
rain and wind. During the long period
Of rains and heavy storms the railroads
over the mountains east, north and south
have suffered scarcely any interruption
that has not been at once put aside, by
the excellence of the management of the
railroad operators, and the superior char
acter of the machinery now in use for the
clearance of tracks of snow, ice and land
slides. But the keeping open of the roads
in such weather as we have had for some
weeks involved great cost as well as an
extraordinary output of energy. These
things are taken very little into account,
however. by the howlers who pretend
that railroading is pastime, and that no
other concern in the cost of operating a
road is to be considered than the expense
of hitching a locomotive to train OF
cars and moving it over unobstructed
rails.

This was proper. Philbrook himself
placed it without the power of the
court to hold him blameless, though
The record-union., 1895-01-07

1T was mercifully inclined. He placed
the court in this position by his
threat and innuendo, that if it
decided against him it was to be taken as
confession of venality; if it decided for
him it would be done under the COW of
his threat that it dare not hold otherwise.
But aside from this, the action of Phil
brook in filing such brief as he did was
infamous. 1t was an assault upon the
courts under cover, on an unsupported
theory and upon Interpretation of facts
not warranted by the law or by reason.
The temporary disbarment of Phil
brook will have the effect, let it be
hoped, of curbing other attorneys, so
many Of whom have come to think, to
judge by their conduct at the bar, that
the chief office of an attorney-at-law is to
browbeat, intimidate, menace and bull
doze. 1t is fortunate thing for the bar

A Versatile LAWYER.

When Judge Parsons was practicing
lawyer he was once employed to plead
two cases in court which were precise
" alike, but in one he was engaged for
the plaintiff, in the other for the de-
PENDANT. It happened that both cases
were tried the same day. He spoke for
half an hour to the first jury; the case
was given to the jurors, and they had
retired. When he appeared before the
second jury he made use of very diff
ferent arguments from those employed
by him before. Of which the court took
notice, reminding him that he seemed
to have changed his tune and repeated
to him what he said few minutes be-
fore. Mr.. Parsons fixed his keen eye
upon the judge and replied: MAY it
please your honor, 1 might have been
wrong half an hour ago, but now
know am right" He proceeded, and
when the juries returned it was found
he had gained a verdict in both cases.
