is DURRANT GUILTY

Theodore Durrant, the alleged MUIR
derer of Blanche Lamont, must hang
on the 11th of the month, Gov. Budd
having refused to commute his sentence
to imprisonment for life. Whether
Durrant is or is not guilty is now a
demned him, the last resort, executive
clemency, has been denied, and he
will pay the penalty for the awful and
brutal murder committed in Emanuel
church, San Francisco, little more
than two years ago. Many there are
who believe Durrant is innocent, and
there are more who believe the COVER
nor of California should have COM
muted his sentence, and fixed his
punishment at imprisonment for life.
This belief, however, is actuated largely
by sentiment and among those who do
not approve of capital punishment
being inflicted except in cases where
there is actual proof of guilt, and op-
pose the hanging of criminal con-
victed solely upon circumstantial
evidence.
This sentiment has but little logical
foundation. Durrant is either guilty
of one of the coolest premeditated
murders ever committed, or he is in
nocent. If the former, he should be
hanged. If innocent he is entitled to
absolute freedom. And in view of the
brutal nature he has evinced during
the time he has been confined in jail
and at his trial, Is it not very likely he
was capable of just such crime as
the one of which he was convicted?
Besides. is not probable that his
brutality is inherited? If so. the
strong chain of circumstances proved
on his trial, connected with his natur-
ally depraved character, make it diff
ficult to arrive at any other conclusion
than that he is guilty.
AS to his inherited brutality the
fact that he has invited his parents to
witness his execution and that they
have accepted the invitation. is proof
that neither he nor his father and
mother are possessed of any of the
finer sensibilities. No man with proper
feelings toward his parents would ask
them to be present at his execution
for such horrible crime as the one
for which he will suffer. No parent,
except one possessed of naturally
brutal nature, would consent to see
his or her son hanged for murder. 1t
is natural that parent should desire
to be at the deathbed of his child when
death occurs from natural causes, but |
it is not natural that he should want |
to see his son executed as felon.
In view of these circumstances, the |
son asking his parents to witness his
execution and their consenting shows
that both son and parent are possessed |
of british natures, and being so pos /,
sessed, is it not probable brutality has |
been transmitted from parent to child, |
and being a natural brute, that he was
capable of and did commit the fiendish |
murder? We believe it is, and that
this, one of the last acts of Theodore |
Durrant, strengthens the chain of |
evidence against him.

OUR TRADE WITH MEXICO.

Under the Wilson-Gorman tariff law
the United States has been selling to
Mexico about GO per cent, of what it
purchased abroad. Four years ago the
United States was selling to Mexico
less than one-quarter of what the lat
ter country bought. England. France
and Germany held the bulk of trade
which is of q most profitable and desir-
able character. And the Dineley law
proposes to restore that very order of
things.
The Dingleyites are endeavoring to
prove that unless the new barrier of
protection is raised the United States
will be flooded with manufactured
products with which Mexico is able to
supply our markets. This is very
absurd exageration. Mexico is not
manufacturing country. Her cotton
mills make only coarse cloths. Other
manufactures, except tobacco, are
comparatively Insignificant. We sold
to Mexico. last year goods-mostly
manufactured-amou to about
twice as much as the sum we paid for
the articles-mostly crude-purchased
from her. Under the existing law
large number of our manufactured
products are admitted to Mexico free of
duty. There is not the slightest proba-
bility that our robust sand manifold
mo fo oatt t1rir duo 70 rui1 ha
overwhelmed by avalanches of Mexi-
can sugar. as alleged by the Louisiana
sugar planting interest, or that under
the Gorman-Wilsont tariff our exports
to Mexico will diminish. That Mexi-
can manufacturers will ever formidably
compete with our own is hypothesis
evolved from the mind of the un-
reasoning. That the present tarI |
law, if continued, would ultimately
give us exclusive and profitable con-
troll of the Mexican trade requires no |
liberately put up the bars against |
Mexican products, Europe will regain
the vast percentage of Mexican trade |
which the Wilson German law has en- |
abled us to obtain.
The proposed Dingley bill apparently |
takes the ground that Mexico will send |
money to the United States in place of |
her products and still continue to buy
her goods here, depending upon other
for her sales. 1t is violent |
to presume that the laws
of trade, which are fixed and inevitable,
will be set aside in our favor. Mexico
will trade with those who trade with |

Currency Reform.

CHICAGO, June "A Chronicle spe-
cial from Washington says:
1t is announced semi-officially that
congress will not Immediately adjourn
after the passage OF the tariff bill. The
republican managers have decided in
accordance with the wishes Of the adj
ministration that they will attempt to
pass currency reform measure as
soon as the tariff question is out of the
way. 1t is contended that the state
ment recently made by Secretary Gage
that something would be done by the
present congress for the Improvement
of our finances was not an idle sugges-
tion, but one which embodied the views
of the administration and leading re-
publicans of congress.
1t is stated, however, that all the
president desired from the present ses-
sion of congress is authority to appoint
a currency commission, whose MEM
bers shall be directed to report at the

The CHEYENNE Outbreak.

MILES CITY. Mont, JUNE 3.-Sheriff
Gibbs, who returned last night from
the Cheyenne agency, says the Indian
situation is very grave. Two hundred
Indians are off the reservation and
scattered in the hills. A sheriff's posse
300 strong, under command of Stock
Inspector Smith and Captain Brown,
is now stationed in small numbers in
and about the. settlements near the
reservation to protect the remaining
settlers and prevent the destroying of
property by Indians.
Indian Agent Stouch would not de-
liver the prisoner, Stanley, up 10 the
sheriff when called upon to do so, but
said he would escort Stanley off the
reservation Friday with troops and de-
liver him to the authorities. The
sheriff placed Captain Stoueh under
arrest, but left him at liberty until
summoned by the county attorney. 1t
is not known among the Indians in
the hills that Stanley is in the guard
house. When this becomes known
and he is removed from the reserYa-
tion it is feared the Indians will make
a break to recover him if possible.

Mr.. Calhoun goes home puzzled. He
is to sail on the Ward line steamer.
Many contradictory stories of the in
surrectlon have been poured into his
ears. He has declined to be inter-
viewed. but your correspondent has an
absolute assurance as to the nature of
his views. Mr.. Calhoun is for peace,
if peace be possible, and if need be, for
war. He will recommend that war
here be stopped at all hazards. He
will urge in support of his position the
conditions of Americans and American
interests here, and with more force the
frightful condition of the country folk,
which he knows from personal ex-
perience.
Mr.. Calhoun will see President Nc
Kinley, and with whatever weight he
has. the presidents personal represen-
tative will suggest that Spain be told
that war on women and children in
the island of Cubs must cease.
The Ruiz investigation is closed. AS
predicted, the matter is exactly where
General Lee leftit in February last.
At the conclusion of the investigation
DIR. Congostos prepared report which
he requested General Lee to sign. In
it he said that Ruiz had been treated
as a guest of the nation; had mattress
and pillows, good food, the attention
OF nurses and all, in fact, that any man
could wish. This, in reality, was
based upon evidence which General
Lee declined to consider. So General
Lee declined positively to sign the re-
port which DR.. Congostos submitted.
Mr.. Calhoun will support General
Lee absolutely.
The war for food has begun in
Havana. In Anton Ricio street, on

for food.

nave been brought here as prisoners
rom Campo Florida, and condemned

1t is now said that the selling of cart
