The record-union. [volume] (Sacramento, Calif.) 1891-1903, 1897-06-18

we have not heard of one getting away
since the beginning of his second term.
With handful of guards, he has kept
those turbulent fellows in check and
has made most of them in a degree
productive. Finally they took a crazy
spell. just as do communities occa
sionally outside of prison walls. A lot
Of them wanted opium and rebelled
because they were deprived Of the drug.
When the water was turned on them,
they soon cooled Off We have an i'm
preston that Warden Hale handled the
rebellion good deal better than it
would have been handled by any of his
critics either in or out of printing

WOMAN'S LOVE.
| Fresno ExDositor: There are some
things that no man can understand and
Few women can make clear. One of
them is the kind of love that makes
woman forgive and love and continue
20 live with a brute that beats her,
There is in it a dumb fidelity that marks
| some animals, but not highly bred ones.
A dog will turn and fawn upon the mas
| ter that beats him sometimes but not
| If he have the higher instincts with
| which we are willing to credit to some
| of the better bred lower animals. We
could understand love that might for
| give good deal of meanness and cru
| city of other kinds but the kind that
| lays hands upon woman to beat her
| is so unspeakably low that the one who
condones the offense participates in it,
| though she be it's victim.
| There are instances where a mother
| who sees not how she can support her
| little ones if she leaves their father,
stays on and bears his abuse for the
| childrens sake-and such are the cru
| Gifted with Christ for duty's sake. But
| a little faith might convince such one
| that God and women can dispense with
| bruteS, and will find a way to care for
| babes. There is such thing as sub
| hitting to wrong until the spirit is
crushed, driven from the body and the
poor creature that remains far from be-
coming an angel under the process, has
| become something less than a woman.
MAKING GOOD TIME.
| San Jose Mercury: One has but 10
review the history Of the numerous
tariff bills that have been passed since
| the beginning of the Government to
appreciate the remarkable progress that
has been made by the present Congress
| with the bill which it now has under
consideration. Unless something entire
| ly unforeseen occurs, President Mckln-
| ley will be enabled to sign the new tariff
| law by the Fourth of July, exactly four
months from the date of his Inaugural
ton. This will be unprecedented. So
long have the people suffered under
| Democratic free trade, with its lneV1-
| table loss of revenue to the Government
and injury to the industries, business
and labor of the country, that they are
anxious to see the Wilson-Gorman law
wiped off the statute books and pro-
| tective tariff substituted. Their impa-
patience is natural, but if the bill be-
comes a law by the expected time 1t
cannot be justly contended that Cor
gress has been indifferent or dilatory
On the contrary, that body will have
earned the credit of having done its
work more expetlitiously than any Con-
gress since the days of Washington.
President William Henry Harrison,
who was inaugurated March 4, lS4l,
found the condition of finances and reve-
nue. such that he called special session
| of Congress shortly after his Inaugural
| ton, yet it was not until August 80, 1872,
that the tariff bill passed by that Con-
| gress became a law. President Polk,
who was inaugurated on March 4, 1919,
did not sign his Tariff Act until July 80,
| 1916; Pierce, who was inaugurated in
| 1858, signed his Tariff Act March 3,
| 1867; Lincoln, inaugurated March 4,
| 1861, did not sign his first Tariff Act I'M
til August ), 1861; Grant was inaugu-
rated March 4, 1869, and signed his
first Tariff Act July ii, 1870, and an
other June g. 1872; the Garfield Admin
! istration was inaugurated March t,
1881, yet the Tariff Act signed by Pres
! ident Arthur was dated March ), 1888;
| President Benjamin Harrison was inau-
| gurated March 4, 1889, and signed his
| first Tariff Act October /, 1890; Grover
| Cleveland and his free trade Congress
came into power March 4, 1893, yet the
Wilson Tariff Act which he refused to
| sign did not become law until August
| 2S, 1894.
