THE TRUTH OF IT.

Shasta Courier: The truth is the prop
osition to refund the railroad debt to
the Government should be settled upon
purely business principles devoid of
sentiment or prejudice. The matter
should be investigated by Congress just
as any other business proposition would
be, and its decision should be in ac-
cordance with common prudence and
the dictates of reason Red Bluff News.
That is the business in a nutshell;
and Congress will probably take prac-
tical business view of the proposition
uninfuenced by the rantings of such
kickers and malevolent windbags as
old Sutro and his gang Of scheming
soreheads who are chronically and We
hemently opposed to almost everything
that does not put pennies into their
pockets.
The record-union., 1896-02-13
THE WAY IT LOOKS.

Dunsmuir News: The way the thing
looks now the Government is not pre-
pared to go into railroading, and if some
Eastern capitalists get possession OF
the roads it could not benefit the people
of California any more than the present
owners would. It is exactly like it used
to be when a young prince would raise
an army to try and depose the reigning
monarch. The people would fight them
selves to death in both armies and 1t
was certain that it would not help them
a particle which of the two won the
battle. 1t is pretty conclusive now that
the Government is not prepared to go
into the railroad business, therefore it
is no more than right that the owners
of the road be given time to pay their
debts, being as Mr.. Huntington has
agreed to pay the Government dollar

FALL OF JOURNALISM.
Chico Chronicle-Record: The stand
ard of journalism has been lowered of
late years in some parts of the country.
Newspapers in these days run after SEN
sations. And why do they do this?
Because the people wish to read sensa-
tional articles. So we should have been
more hearty correct had we said that
the intellectual standard of the people
who read newspapers has been lowered.
| The difference between the San Fran
cisco daily papers and those of some of
/ the great Eastern cities is very marked.
| For instance: A man commits muir
der in San Francisco. The newspapers
Immediately publish his picture, and
make public hero out of him. In our
| opinion the amount of space devoted by
the Examiner and other San Fran
cisco papers each day to the Durrant
case was sickening. Neither the New
York World nor the Herald" would
have devoted one-tflird so much space
to such a case.
Now how is this condition of things
to be changed? This is a hard question
to answer. In the first place the public
must be educated to a higher standard
OF reading. Newspapers should all
unite in an attempt to throw off their
servile obligations to this unnatural
thirst for sensation on the part of the
masses of the people.
CASE OF COLONEL COLT.
San Diego Union: The acquittal of
Colonel Colt in Ohio is a triumph for
| law and order He was in command of
a regiment of National Guard which
fred upon a mob that sought to break
into the Washington Courthouse Jail
to lynch a prisoner. One of the lynch
ers was killed by the volley, and the
Colonel was indicted for manslaughter.
1t was contended that the shooting was
needless, and that the mob might have
been subdued without being fired upon.
The old case of Captain Porteous of the
British army, who was hanged at Glas-
gcw a century ago for firing into mob,
was cited. 1t appears, however, that
the latter did not first warn the mob.
He made, in fact no effort to avoid the
collision In Colonel Colts case, how
ever, due warning was given, and the
lives and property of citizens were
threatened by the mob. Had the jury
convicted him the result would have
been deplorable, for it is plain that
little reliance could be placed upon the
National Guard in times of riot IL its
officers and men were to be taught
lesson that performance of duty might
be followed by prosecution and convic-

For luck? Not at all, but because it lay
directly ON the rail ahead, and in the in
terest of passengers and possibly rolling
stock he gathered it not over tenderly
ard gave it a fling so that it fell almost
at the feet of three ladies, one of whom
was about to pick it up, when practi-
cal member of the trio said: Don t soil
your gloves, and never mind if there are
three nails in it. 1t was not you who
found it, but the motOrman, and he has
flung it away, good luck and all " The
citizen passed the spot three minutes
later, and no trace of the horseshoe was
found. Why? Because Beacon street
