The acquittal OF Paul Clifford for
the killing of Jake Turner about a

prevail of the great majority of the
people. This being his second trial

IA anifested in his case. Having been
previously sentenced to ten years in

county Jail waiting for the state su.
preme court to grant him q new trial

him TO bear. Physically he is almost
a wreck. At the former trial public
sentiment was bitterly against him,
and . re strangest thing of all is that
this bitter feeling has turned in his
favor. This only goes to show that
pablic sentiment is sometimes a dan.
ygerous thing. In the heat of rage and
passion no man or jury is hardly
competent to render an unprecedented
verdict. And murder cases, about
which there is some doubt, should
only be tried after the excitement has

A Dreadful Catastrophe

The dreadful catastrophe which be-
fell the beautiful city of San Francisco
last week is the most appalling disas-
ter which ever befell this country.
No human tongue can ever tell or
words convey the horror and devasta-
ting effect Of that terrible calamity.
With home d%etroyed. business gone,
friends d ad aud dying, mothers with
new born babes, fathers alone in the
world, only seem like a speck on
some far distant object compared
with the additional horrors and sor-
row brought upon those benighted
sufferers. Whas the outcome will be
is yet only a conjecture. Sickness
and death will vet claim many a vic
tim. Hundreds and thousands will
/. never return to the place from whence
they were driven. They will seet
their future homes elsewhere, and
sast their lots in a strange land. But
with it all, heart-rendering as il

This fact, while generally omitted in

the development of steam navigation
in these latter days, as exempiified in
our great battleships which have per-
fected the principle discovered by
Rumsey, it was no mean honor. No
doubt Franklin foresaw this fact when
he identified himself with Rumsey.
