apparently, wells her designs on Samoa and Hayt.
If we take Hawaii sacrifice all the moral power of pro-

every European Government and their for passive

If that policy succeed must look for very rapid in

The fathers of this republic all warned their posterity to

A DISGRACE TO THE BENCH.
Sacramento Bee.

The Bee declares that never has 1t heard
from the Bench in California such an inta-
nous speech as that which proceeded from
the lips OF Judge Lorigan. His 1nquisiticn OF
the Grand Jury, as he accomplished 1t, was
without warrant of law or authority. He had
no right to turn thumbscrews on that body as
he did, and Carroll was we'll within his rights
when he refused to answer the arrogant and
insolent demands of this autocrat. Judge
Lorigan is himself before the bar OF public
opinion. He is charged with interfering
with the due course and process OF law ny
standing as a shield between Justice OF the
Peace and his Indictment by the Grand jury.
True or false, that charge has been publlshed.
In place OF meeting it Judge Lor1gan AFRO.
gates 10 himself the authority OF Gar anu
puts the thum bscrews on the Grand jury.
For what purpose? Not to discover II there
might be some Ieaso why Justice Dwyer
should be indicted, but simply to find out who
it was among the Grand Jury who took the
name of Judge ". G. Lorigan in vain. he
came to grand juror who refused 10 answer
his insoleut and lmpertinent questions-quts'
tions which he had no right TO ask under the
proceedings which he established. He then
cas- tigated that helpless grand juror as cur,
& scoundrel, perjurer and Judas.
Now Grand Juror Carroll may be all these
things. We do not know him. But, no
matter what he is he is a far better American
citizen today in that iury-box than Judge
Lorigan is on the bench.
Just look at this matter for a moment: A
Superior Judge under cloud drags the mem
bers of Grand Jury before him TO find who
may have given ior h reports from which was
born that cloud. de runs across grand jury
man who refuses 10 swer his arrogant
quiries-and from the bench proceeds to casti-
gate that freeborn American citizen with al
the virulence and bilIingsgate OF a Bowery
blackguard
Imagine what power this man has arrogated
to himself! He has virtually threatened with
punishment every member of the Grand Jury
who would dare to breathe a word of uspicion
against his august Caesar of the bench. He
has held himself as superior to the law and
above the people. He mas proclaimed himself
! the sovereign over the words and acts of grand
| jurors. And he has virtually said TO them:
! ''Don't dare to breathe or even think a word
| against me, or will denOunce you from the
bench, where l reign supreme, as ours and
/ scounirels, as perjurers and Judases."
! Ii the man is not insane, and Il subject Tor
! Stock ton, shonId be kicked from the bench
| as a disgrace TO the judiciary, g disgrace to
| AmerIcauIsm, p disgrace to humanity.
Superior Judge Lorigan OF Santa Clara
! County called Grand Juror Carroll, from the
| bench, a cur and scoundrel, perjurer and
! a Judas, not really because Lorigan believed
| Carroll TO be anything of the kind, but be-
! cause Lorigan thought that Carroll had given
! out something from the Grand Jury room
which did not reflect much credit on Judge
Lorigan.
We 90 not know what Carroll said about
Lorigan-but Lorigan has proved that he is
all OF it, and more too.
