partment, seems to contemplate the
assertion of stiu more dangerous
prerogative. It is now, apparently,
about to be accepted as duty Of this
official to decide what class Of adver-
tisements newspapers and magazines
shall publish.
This species OF censorship began
with the meritorious crusade against
lotteries. The law prohibiting the cir
culation OF newspapers containing lot
tery advertisements accomplished its
purpose by killing on that nefarious
business. But the law was by no
means suffered to lapse Its functions
were extended so as to cover git en-
terprises, dot-oouuting and guessing
contest notices Now we are told that
executive construction is to 60 further
and eliminate Objectionable patent
medicine advertisements, and all
which appear to be inserted for the
purpose of defrauding the public. Il
is intimated that cases will be taken
up individually by the law officers and
when supposed violations of law are
apprehended the offending publication
win be prosecuted in the courts or ex-
cluded from the mails
Our paterE1l gyyernment is doing
the people a lot of good in warning
them against storms supplying them
with garden seeds. and protecting
them against swindles. The fraud or
der" has heretofore been aimed at the
swindler himself, and not at the period
ical which has innocently published his
advertisement If we are to be pro
bected against fraud in the advertising
columns, Why should we not, after
awhile invoke protection against false
hoods in the editorial columns. against
deception in politics and heresy in re-
ligion disseminated by the periodicals
of the day?
There is a narrow line somewhere
between the freedom Of the press guar
anteed by the Constitution, and that
executive usurpation which precedes
the downfall of liberty. Fortunately,
we can rely upon a vigilant editorial
instinct to iealously guard that line
from insidious entertainments.
Rural free delivery brings some new
factors into the newspaper problem.

To prevent the evil in some degree he
provided in contracts awarded on the

outward trip no passengers should be
carried in the inside of the mail
coach, but that II should be devoted
exclusively to the mails; and On sim
liar routes along the seaboard tie same
restriction was applied in both direc-
tions. He expresses the belief that
the enforcement of the contracts in
this respect will insure the safe con,
veyance Of newspapers as far ais they
travel on these routes.
If, before the days Of telegraphs or
even Of railroads, the people demanded
their favorite journals by the speed
lest conveyance available, there is
now little fear that they will
consent to any adverse discrimination.
The fastest trains are none too speedy
to satisfy popular impatience for the
news-indeed all the typical "fast
mali trains are avowedly run for the
benefit Of newspaper readers. and their
schedules are fixed accordingly. It
would be a fatal step backward to de-
tract anything from the rapidity with
which the welcome messenger Of the
worlds doiugs flies from publisher to
patron.
It is a standing grievance against
the department, cherished by the print

THE SENATORIAL BooDLERs.

Whatever the result of the pros
ecution of the senatorial quartet
Bunkers, French, Emmons and
Wright - through the criminal
courts, public opinion has already
pronounced a verdict of guilty. They
have betrayed the trust reposed in
them by too confiding people; for
the paltry sum of 1850 they have
sold themselves, and brought dis
grace upon the state. California
has been hard hit by legislative scan
dals heretofore, but nothing so de-
grading has defaced her history as
this latest story of Doodle. In the
presence of the facts adduced will
the senate expel the unworthy mem
bers. That is the question. No one
contends that they should be con-
demned unheard, They might have
had their say before the special COM
mittee, but not under conditions that
would have precluded their punish
ment through the courts. They
have no cause for complaint that
they were not allowed to meet sworn
testimony against them, by their
own testimony under oath. If they
were able to show, as they claim,
that the whole affair is conspiracy
to ruin them, the mere refusal to place
them under oath would not have
caused them to remain dumb. They
were figuring to tie the hand of justice
in the courts. They did not succeed.
But the question of expulsion or
whitewash must be passed upon by
the senate before the trial in court
can be had. Let us hope for the
reputation of the state that senators
will manfully face this issue. Let it
not go forth that California, through
its chosen represen tatives, is in sym
pathy with Doodle and boodlers.

A surprise party was given at the
residence of Mrs. S. Rose this week in
honor of Erma Dufrene's eighteenth

by all Druggists
Adjudged Insane.

w. B. Vandament, of Oleta, was
brought to Jackson Saturday by con-
stable LESLEY and adjudged insane by
Drs. Gall and Endicott. He was at the
county hospital being cared for by
superintendent LeMoin until Tuesday,
when he was taken to the state institu-
tlon at Stockton by deputy sheriff Kay.
This case is peculiar. The patient
is Y years of age, and his affiiction has
been coming on for the past two years,
gradually growing worse. His mania
takes on the form that he imagines
that he is afflicted with microbes, and
all his energies are concentrated upon
trying to free himself from them. He
thinks he can catch them, tries to dig
them out of his skin, pulls his hair out
under the same impression. He would
pack his bedclothes outside and beat
them day after day under the same de-
lusion. Everything to him is infected
with microbes. AS a matter of fact he
is cleanly in his habits; the microbes
exist in his imagination; for all that
they are terribly real to him. He thinks
others are afflicted in the same way,
and hence is dangerous, inasmuch as
he is liable to resort to desperate meas
ures to rid others of the imaginary
nuisance. Once he attempted to set
fire to lady in order to destroy the
microbes. On other subjects he is per-
fectly sane. When the witnesses de-
tailed his actions heatold the Judge that
they were perfectly correct in their
statements. The doctors hold out little
hope of his restoration to a normal
condition.

lone VS., the Railroad.
lCOmmunicatedl

That many of the lone people feel
little sore over the extending of the
railroad further eastward, no one will
deny. The beautiful little valley CITY
had been the terminus so long that
many OF her citizens had grown to be-
lieve that it should always be thus.
Enterprises that were calculated to be
of lasting benefit to the place are now
being characterized as next to worth
less, and the blame is being laid at the
doors of the railroad extension pro-
moters. lone is too stable a town to
be materially injured by the railroad
passing beyond her borders. She is
situated at the head of one of the most
fertile valleys in the state, and in close
proximity to another equally as good,
whose products must be mark eted with
her business men. Large holdings in
these fruitful valleys must be SUBJ
divided, population Increased, new in
dustries fostered, and it will be but a
matter of a few years before the enter
prlsing portion of the people of lone
will be reaping benefit from this new
order of things. If we were the owner
of property in lone today, we would
place just as great value upon it as
formerly. The blacksmith NAV not
have so many horses to shoe, but he
will have more plows to sharpen. The
hotel proprietors may lose quarter
now and then from teamster, but
they will take in a dollar occasionally
from the farmer who has brought his
family into town to buy a months sup
plies. The livery man may miss hiring
his teams to drummer occasionally at
S2.25 per day, but the improved condi-
tlon OF our public roads will enable him
to get S4 90 per day for the same team
from one of the well-to-do young farm
ers in the community, and so on
throughout every line of business.
lone by keeping her grammar and high
schools on high plane can and will
become the center of education in the
county. Nothing will induce fond par
ents to locate in community quicker
than superior educational facilities.
Let the people of the valley town look
to nothing but her educational interests
during the next few years, and every
dwelling that her wealthy men will
erect can be readily filed with desirable
tenants. On the other hand, neglect
the educational interests and many of
those already there will be driven away.
From our point of view the future of
lone is in the hands of her own people
and not the railroad. What is for the
best interests of the many is always, in
the end, beneficial to the few. Let the
road be extended to the extreme east
ern portion of the county, and the
beneficial results will reach beyond its
western borders z

John werly Set Free for Attacking Clough.

A dispatch from Oakland dated Feb.
18th says: A jury decided to-day that
it was no crime for John Werly to at
tack Fred r. Clough with pickhandle
one night last Novem ber when he found
Clough in the company of Mrs, Werly.
1t was murderOus looking weapon
Werly used, but Clough, it was ex-
planned, was much bigger man.
Though Werly did not want to kill
Clough, he wanted to inflict sufficient
injury to impi le,, he idea of a vigorous
protest. After committing the assault
he was arrested on complaint of Clough,
who charged him with assault with a
deadly weapon. The jury was not out
more than long enough to cast one bal
lot. There were no dissenting voices.
The testimony showed that Weriy,
who is middle aged man, had been
made miserable by the attentions paid
his wife. He followed the couple down
town on the night of November IL, and
waited outside while they had supper
in Ninth street restaurant. While
waiting Policeman Morrison came
along his beat, and seeing Werly in
doorway asked him what he was doing.
Werly thereupon told him his story
and asked Morrison what he would do
in the circumstances, especially if the
man were bigger than he. Morrison's
reply was, 81 would whittle him down
to my size and then go for him"
Werly followed the cops" advice in
his own way.
The parties to this affair are all we'll
known in the neighborhood of Pine
Grove, in which region their early
years were passed.

The Staples Case.

No word has been received direct
from Sheriff Norman as to when he is
likely to reach Jackson with his prison
ers, DR.. Staples and Mrs. Hoxie, who
were arrested in Lower California on a
charge of murder, in taking the life of
Mrs. DR.. Staples at Amador City last
August by means of arsenical poison
ing. The sheriff left for Ensenada over
two weeks ago with extradition papers
for the accused pair. From the chief
OF police of San Diego, deputy sheriff
Kay has received word that Sheriff
Norman with his two prisoners was
expected to arrive in that city by
steamer from Ensenada on Wednesday
last; that they had been detained in
Ensenada on account of the rough
water preventing landing, whether of
passengers or freight was not said.
From San Diego the trip will be made
by rail. Being alone in charge of the
prisoners, the sheriff may have to re-
main in San Diego one night in order
to gain needed sleep. Allowing for
this, he may be looked for in Jackson

is manifested in the arrival of these
prisoners. Last Saturday a crowd of
so to 100 persons were at the lone depot
in anticipation of catching glimpse of
the eloping couple, upon whom the ter
rible charge of revolving murder is
resting.
LATER-A telegram was received by
Deputy Kay last night from Sheriff
Norman, dated from San Diego stating
that he would not be home for ten or
twelve days; that letter of explana-
tion would follow. This letter is ex-
pected here tonight. What has caused
the delay is not stated, nor whether or
not the prisoners are with him. All
sorts of rumors are afloat to explain
the delay. 1t may be that hitch has
occurred with the Mexican authorities,
and that the defendants will not be
surrendered except on extradition
papers in legal form.
