THE PHILBRoOK CASE.

The San Francisco Examiner. true to
Its instincts-which are all lawless, as
was demonstrated last summer-howls
that the Philbrook restoration bill shall
pass, and il takes occasion to say that no
court should have the power to prevent
man from making a living. Unfortu-
nately for the Erun1ine1'S position, that is
precisely what courts are for, when citi-
zens forfeit their liberties by offending.
The lawyers are officers of the courts,
and it Is the bounden duty of the courts
to discipline them. They have too much
liberty now-liberty that has been ex-
panding until good many people had
rather die than undergo the bulldozing
and abuse that lawyers are permitted to
indulge in. Witness, for instance, the
ulsgracetul procedure in a criminal trial
at Fresno not long ago. The courts ought
10 have the power to punish for contempt,
and especially to castigate their own
officers in that way. Philbrook's offense
was not in his assault upon Justice
Harrison: that could be overlooked, but
he went beyond that and threatened the
other members of the court and impuned
their motive in advance of any knowledge
on his part how the court would decide
his case. In other words, he attempted
tointimidate the court.
Now, it must occur to any sensible, fair
mind that this was more an assault upon
the people than upon the court. The
court is the creation of the people. 1t is
the agency of the judicial system of the
people. An assault upon it is the grossest
OF assaults upon liberty. since the courts
constitute the hulwars of human free-

On what ground pardon can be asked,
except the general cussedness of some of
the petitioners, we are at a loss to dis
cover. Possibly the idea is to have Azof
saved from the gallows because the MUIR

than all, in the hire of a railroad company

them to punishment under the law.

WITH cool elaboration Spanish war
ship has fired upon the American flag,
pursued the clipper floating it, and re-
peatediy sent solid shot toward Old Glory.
OF course the excuse will be made that the
Spanish commander suspected that the
clipper was a rebel under false colors.
But it happens that the Yankee skipper
was outside the limit and on the high
seas that he did not attempt to run away
until he had been fired upon with the
Stars and Stripes floating at the mizzen.
Even then he saluted the gunboat by
dipping his colors. and at the second shot
he repeated the salute, but the hot-b blood
continued his assault until the Yanke
took to his heels. Now then, if Uncle
Sam does not bring the Spanish Don to
taw, let the flag OF the free be furled.

THE HAsTY ACTION.

1t is an old and we'll underst trick
of proponents of doubtful measure to
raise a dust to obscure the true issues.
In the matter of the grant of terminal
Railroad Company on the San Francisco
water er-front, the friends of the bill made
no sort of decent response to the busi-
ness-like, proper and plain demands
for safeguards for the States interests.
They simply cried undue influence,
corporate power, bulldozing tactics," and
indulge in all manner of vituperation and
abuse against whoever dared to suggest
that there should be inserted in the bill
the ordinary restrictions that would OBJ
tain in common business transaction.
The legislators who voted for the slip
Ehod lease we trust will not regret it,
but nevertheless those who had the
courage to vote against it will never be
stung by the reflection that they erred
They voted as good business sense would
inspire a cautious, minded, con-
scientious man to do.
A whirlwind OF passion, prejudice, con-
tumely and slander beset those who had
the fairness to insist upon proper guards
being thrown about the rights of the
State involved in the measure. Those
who INDUCED in these assaults do not
realize that there is no strength in abuse;
that to call names proves nothing; that to
impugn motives without proof of sim
cerity to back thes mean assault is
worthy only of the fish market Those
who urged that the grant be made with
out those safeguards which prudence
suggests, failed to give even one lone,
substantial reason for the omissions
worthy the consideration of ordinary
intelligence.
No one objected to the San Joaquin
Company being given terminal privi-
leges. What could be lawfully done to
that end should have been done. All
that was asked by the opponents Of the
measure as it stood was such explicit
writing of reasonable conditions and
forfeitures into the grant as would rea-
sonably assure the achievement of the
very things the petitioning company
claims to desire.
1t will ever remain a mystery why its
announced sincerity did not prompt it 10
consent to the contract with the State
being made explicit, and in detail accu-
rate as to all conditions of performance
and all possibilities in the direction of
forfeiture.
That was all there was in the matter,
and yet, because it was advised that the
State should act with the same prudence
and prescience that would characterize
participants in an ordinary business
transaction, terrible hullabaloo was
raised and desfening howl set up that
somebody was trying to rob somebody
else of some sacred right.
The thing was disgraceful and un-
worthy our civilization, and ought to
have disgusted legislators. The idea that
the people wish to subsidize the new line:
that they were demanding it should be
given something for nothing; that they
were insisting that business sense be put
to one side and clean ut-of-hand and
unrestricted gift be made and an alien
alton of fifty millions of dollars worth OF
State property without proper safeguards
against transfer and ENHANCEMENT and
against performance of reasonable
conditions, was idiotic.

NOT a SAFE MEASURE.

The bill placing in the hands of the
Board OF Examiners the removal power
over all persons who are subordinates in
State institutions, comes up for final ac-
ton In the Senate to-day. The more the
measure is considered, in the less favor
able light does it appear. 1t is perfectly
safe assumption that the selected or
elected head of an institution, be it
board or individual, is better qualified
than any other, when once in charge, to
determine who is best fitted for the
edly no one can better serve the State in
selecting and directing the employees of
any of the insane or other asylums than
the official head thereof If the power is
taken from that authority to hire and
discharge and direct, it will assuredly re-
suit in discord, insubordination and con-
tempt for the official mead. All employees
will look to the influences they may
think they can bring to bear upon, not
pert authorized by the bill. 1t does not
necessitate any great amount of intelli-
gence TO understand what that will mean,
nor what dangerous power will be re-
posed in the expert. Besides, the State
Board of Examiners has already more
than full duty TO perform. 1t is an over
burdened body now. and it is unwise and
uneconomic to put upon it new duties
these last proposed, by the way, being
more onerous and of broader scope than
all the tasks now imposed upon the
board. Doubtless the measure was pro-
posed with sincere belief in it's virtue as a
means to economy, but we see in it more
of trouble, involvement and danger to
the successful administration of the State
institutions than there possibly can be of
gain in any direction.

TIE New Orleans massacre is another
example of the tyranny of the mob, and
the subserviency OF a police force that is
not in sympathy with the law under
which it exists. The action of the en-
ployers in hiring non-union men was
within their right, however impolitic it
may have been in this particular in
stance. The police authorities, though
well aware that this right was to be con-
tested with violence, appear to have
taken no precaution in the premises, and
when the massacre began conveniently
fell upon their bellies behind cotton bales
and let the killing go on. Do we live in
an age OF civilization and law, or is The
country at the will and beck of the moi?
To a certain extent the race question may
have entered into the New Orleans case,
but if SO it was used as mask only.

dom. They stand between the citizen
and the agencies that would break down
his rights and destroy his independence.
On what reasonable grounds any man
can base support of the Philbrook bill
we have in vain endeavored to discover.
Pass the bill, let it become law, and any
lawyer in the land can write into his
pleadings or his brief threats, abuse and
scurrility against the bench, and the
Judges must sit and take it. Does any
citizen imagine that such a system is con-
servative of justice, peace or integrity of
the tribunals?

THE mail steamer arriving at Victoria
Tuesday brought the news that the story
of the torturing of a citizen by the Off
cials of the Hawaiian Republic is false,
in toto. It was made out of the whole
cloth and the Government has set on foot
inquiry to ascertain who the rascal is
who put the libel afloat. At the time we
expressed our unbelief in the tale 1t
was wholly inconsistent with the charac-
ter of President Dole and his Cabinet,
and was incom patable with the policy
which the Government has followed.
These men in charge of affairs in Hawaii
are civilized, cultured men, of as fine in
stincts as our own citizens and as humane
in all respects. That they would hang a
man up and torture him to force con-
fession from him, is simply absurd.
But the story came to hand in detail, with
contemporaries commented on it bitterly
to the discredit of the men at the head
of the Hawaiian Government, and de-
clared their implicit belief in the story,
because, it was said, it comported with
the act OF stealing Hawaii. Now that the
yarn, by equally as good authority as
backs any news from Hawaii, is proven
untrue, will those papers which abused
the officials of Hawaii on the supposi-
ton that the libel was true, have the man
publicity TO the fact Of the untruth of the
slander?

WHAT contemplate and vulgar
manifestation of all that is mean in hui
man nature it is, to be sure, that the mo-

and have opinions of his own and dare to

corrupt ana tool. because such opinions
do not happen to chime with the craze of

Vermont Granite Trust.

A dispatch from Rutland says: The
craze for consolidation has reached
Vermont, and arrangements are making
to form big stock company to
control all The leading granite quar-
ries in the Green Mountain State. Op-
tions have been secured already on
many of the quarTies. 1t is not intend
ed to tax" the cutting plants, but only
the quarrying business.
The plan is looked upon with favor
by leading granite men here. 1t is es-
1imated that 81 100000 will be required
to carry the deal into effect. Accord
ing to the returns of the last census
there were in the State of Vermont SO
granite quarries, with an annual out
put of 100000 cubic feet of the value
of about 100000 a year. The cOmpe-
tition between the quarres. or rather
between the owners of the quarries, has
reduced the profits of the operators,
and they have had, too, to contend with
the increasing popularity of other ma
terials for building purposes. At pres
ent the plan of consolidation includes
only the Vermont quarries, but, if sue
cessful, it may be expected to extend to
others besides.

Lord Dunraven was before the New
York Yacht Club, last week, in order to
substantiate, if possible, his charges of
fraud in the conduct of the yacht races.
No decision has yet been rendered by
the investigating committee, but it is be-
lieved that he has made dismal failure
in his attempt to involve the yacht syn
dcate in any unfair work whatever.
This investigation ought to convince
every one, including Dunraven himself,
that he is either right or wrong. If
wrong the only honorable course for
him is to retract all of his absurd
charges, which are against some of the
most prominent sportsmen of the coun-
try. This course would be humiliating.
but it would be the only manly one, and
would clear away the difficulties now ex-
isting between the yachting circles of
England and the United States.

by the despairing Armenians, and
bravely held for a number of weeks
against the assaults of the Turks, has
fallen, and 25OO more of the Armenians

Horrified at the wanton massacres of
their fellow countrymen, these people
resolved not to die without struggle.
They seized the Notifications, strength
ened them, fought behind them, and are
now executed as rebels. Since the
above was in type, the report that lei
toun has fallen, is denied. However,
its fall seems to be but matter of days,
as, shut within the Notifications, with
out sufficient means of defense or hopes
of re-enforcements or supplies or of aid
fIom the great Powers, looking indiffer-
emily upon the scene, starvation cannot
be long warded off, even if it is found
possible to resist the bombardments

the brave defenders of the town, when
it falls.
