THE CooNEY CASE.

We publish this morning q correction
by Judge Cook of certain misrepresen ia =
tions made OF his recent charge and in
structions to the Grand Jury in the
Cooney case; and while interest in that
case is now largely discounted by the fact
that the real merits of the controversy over
the pencil deeds" in the Fair estate liti-
CATION are to he fully brought out and set
tied by the civil suit which beE ins before
Judge Slack on Monday. the explanation of
Judge Cook should be carefully read by all
who wish a clear and exact understand
ing of the situation as it now stands.
1t had been stated that in his charge to
the Grand Jury Judge Cook alluded to
certain certificates which had been printed
at the suggestion of counsel in q collateral
case and had reflected upon the conduct
of the counsel in having the work done.
Having had his attention called 10 these
misrepresentation or demonstrations of
his charge, Judge Cook emphatically re-
pudated them, and as will be seen by our
report this morning, declared that such an
idea was furthest from his mind when he
wrote and filed his instructions to the
jury.
With this incident closed, the Cooney
ca gives way in public interest to the
suit which begins on Monday. in which
the whole controversy will be tried on its
merits and the facts involved in the issue
fully set forth. AS matter Of fact the
criminal charge against Cooney should
never have been brought at all while the
civil suit was pending. If the evidence in
the civil proceedings shows any illegal
acts on either side ii will then be time
enough to take steps for the prosecution
of the guilty parties. The officers of the
overzealous, for it is clearly against pub.
lie policy that civil suits should be fore
stalled by proceedings which are calcu-
lated to prejudice the public mind against
one of the parties, and thereby endanger
the cause of impartial justice.
As the civil suit which is TO test the
validity of the so-called ''pencil deeds" is
now about TO be taken up there i. no rea-
son why the public should be put TO any
further expense in prosecuting the charges
against Notary Cooney. Every particle Of
evidence concerning the deeds and all
other points of pertinence TO the issue
will be brought out in the testimony to be
given during the civil trial. The Grand
Jury will then have ample evidence on
which to base its conclusion. II it under
takes a separate investigation it will entail
out gaining any compensatinG advantage
or conferring any benefit either upon the
people or upon the cause OF justice.

THE LAST BLOW.

Cleveland has taken advantage of bill
granting pension to the widow of a vol
unteer soldier of the war to send 10 Con-
gress message vetoing the bill, in which
he sets forth once more his hostility to
the pension system. The remaining days
of his term OF Office are few, but his feel
ings would not permithim to let the occa-
sion pass for getting in one more attack
upon the pensions which grateful repub-
lie pays 10 the soldiers who were disabled
in it's service and to the widows and
orphans of those who fell.
There is nothing in to message which
differs in any yidegree from what he has
stated IN former messages of a sim lar
nature. 1t was only another evidence of
antagonism to the soldier element of the
community, another proof of his lack OF
patriotic feeling and another manifesto
tion of his hostility to that sentiment OF
the people which favors libera! pensions
to every disabled soldier of the war and to
every needy widow of one of those who
gave their lives that the Union might be
saved. Cleveland can never forget that he
served in the army only by a substitute,
that he evaded the duty imposed upon
patriots by the stress OF war and that
whenever he has been a candidate for
office the veterans of the army of the
Union have been opposed to him.
AS Mr.. Cleveland will soon be out of
office this last attack will count for little.
We shall soon have in the White House
President who was brave soldier when
the country called for volunteers and
whose patriotism is attested not merely by
his craftsmanship in Congress, but by his
valor on the field of battle. When he is
President the soldiers will have a comrade
In office and the people will have true
representative 10 show forth their love
and loyalty to the defenders of the Union.
This being so the message will not serious
ly disturb the public mind. It will have
no other effect than that of arousing once
more public irritation against the man
who Tough. by substitute and then turned
his back upon the man who took his place
In the ranks. 1t was a mean blow, but
fortunately for the country it was not
only as futile as it was mean. but it is the
last one from Grover Cleveland.

SAN PEDRO HARBOR.

Information published in The CALL
yesterday gives ample ground for believ-
ing that the Board of Harbor Commits
sioners appointed by the Government to
select site for a deep-water harbor for
Southern California has agreed to report
in favor of San Pedro. This is the first
reliable information on the subject that
bas been given to the people. and was re-
ceived with no little qualification. 1t
gives fair assurance of another triumph
over the monopoly which has so long
dominated the State. and proms ses for
Los Angeles and Southern California gen.
orally deep seaport which will be open
for free commerce and in no wise subject
to monopoly control.
1t may be some little time before the
official report of the Commissioners Is
made. 1t appears that the findings of the
board have not yet been formulated, but
enough is known to make it sure that the
majority will be in favor of the harbor
which has been supported all along by
Los Angeles and the people of the State
generally. 1t is said that no less than
four of the Commissioners favor San
Pedro, and that only one is in opposition.
The victory for San Pedro is therefore a
most decided one and ought TO settle any
doubts which may have existed in the
minds Of the public concerning the COM
paratiye fitness of the two ports for the
proposed harbor.

HOW FRYE RESEMBLES CALHOUN
Louisville Courier journal.

The other day walked into the Senate gal.
lery and found that the roll was being called
on the question of considering Morse's liquor
bill. Frye was in the chair and while Harris
Hill and Aldrich all know more about parlia
mentary law than Frye he is the best presiding
officer the Senate has known since John e.
Breckenridge. Frye follows the rule OF Cal
houn, perhaps the greatest presidi. officer in
the history of the Senate, not excepting even
Aaron Burr.
Calhoun would not permit one Senator to
refer to another Senator as "my friend from
Virginia" as "the gentleman from Massa-
chusetts." The correct phrase was "the Sena-
tor from Virginia" or "the Senator from Mass
achusetts." 1t is said that 1t worth
journey across the continent to hear Calhoun
announce vote in the Senate. There was
more of the Roman in his look than in any
other public man of our history. His eyes
burned like Goals of fire and there was dignity
enthroned in every lineament and movement
When Calhoun announced a vote he said in
voice that penetrated the furthermost recesses
OF the chamber: Senators, on this question
the ayes are - and the nays are. The ayes
have IL, and the motion is agreed to-"
Frye Is the only man have ever seen pre-
side over the Senate who announces a vote
with that impressiveness we can imagine Cal
houn employed. and it is doubtful if even CAL
houn could utter the word Senators with more
rotuQdity than Frye z ives it.

the construction of harbor, the sum of
$3,000,0O0 has been appropriated for the
work. An ample sum 10 ready for an
early beginning OF the enterprise, and it is
not too much to expect that before long
the great undertaking will be under way
and Los Angeles and San Pedro will be
receiving the benefit of the money put
into circulation.
The result Is one of which the people
OF the State may we'll be Congratulated.
Los Angeles has long needed deep water
harbor, but the benefit will not be for that
city alone. All California will in
measure profit by 1t. 1t will be of advan-
tare to all our coast commerce, and will
help materially to build up the prosperity
of tie State. There is nothing now to
wait for except the official report of the
commissioners and the decision of the
Government TO begin the work. These
things will probably not be long delayed.
We are TO have business administration
in office in few days and can rely upon
that administration 10 act promptly in
carrying out every undertaking that prom
ises 10 advance the pubic welfare.
