FROM AN OLD
SCRAP BOOK
ENTRIES TELL OF WORK OF THE
VIGILANCE COMMITTEE IN SAN
FRANCISCO DURING TERM OF
PRESIDENT PIERCE.
(By W. H. Trimmer
MoIino Nav I


Editor Pensacola Journal:
In looking over one of my old scrap
books / found an interesting account
of the vigilance committee of San
Francisco in 1855. Several letters writ
ten by w. T. Sherman who was then
in the banking house of Lucas, Tur-
ner and company, of San Francisco.
w. T. Sherman afterwards became a
major general in the United States
army during the Civil War and made
the march to the sea in 1865. It Is an
incident that the present governor of
California, Hiram johnson, when he
signed the alien bill, says it is his
duty to do that which the interests of
it's people demand" ]. Nicely Johnson
was governor of. California in May,
1856. He was a young man elected by
the know nothing party, and of high
personal character.
Pierce was then the Democratic
president of the United States. Jeffer-
son Davis was secretary of war. James
King, editor of the Evening Bulletin,
was shot by Casey, editor OF the Sun
day Times, both papers published in
San Francisco. King had published
an article concerning Casey; the Bull
letin. as an evening paper published
about 8 p. m. Between 4 and p.
m, King was shot dead. Casey was
1856. On the 18th the vigilance com
mittee organized on Sacramento street
and found Casey guilty of murder.

which the vigilants hung Casey and

THE THIEF WAS NOT
AN EXPERT THIEF
Editor Pensacola Journal.

Editor Pensacola Journal.
In my article of May 18th l said
Suppose an expert money thief
could get himself appointed cashier in
a bank where the real owners honestly
believed that-20 silver dollars weighed
a pound.
He could take the money in. by
count put into the bags as it accumu-
lated and when his books showed bill
lion silver dollars taken in he could
remove from the vault, by stealth, over
AZ car loads of the filthy lucre, resign
his Office and cal, for a settlement
His books would show a. billion dol
lars taken in and the silver left In the
vault would weigh out correctly a bill
lion dollars at 20 dollars per pound
The trouble is my thief was not an
expert thief. He should have removed
by stealth, in order to have his books
balance exactly, at 20 silver dollars to
the pound, las car loads, $4,000 pounds
to the car, and an extra, containing
4S,571 81 pounds-something over "a
tons.
The lesson is let us get it right, no
matter whose OK gets gored. A silver
dollar weighs 412 IL grains troy, and
1900 grains troy is a pound avoirdu-
pcis. That will give everybody a fair
chance to figure it.
The money question is full Of errors,
and it is these errors which the people
generally believe to be truths, and
congress believes to be truths, or they
are great rascals-that is, robbing the
treasury OF the United States that tax
payers are called upon to supply when
there is a deficiency of ''all public
money" The first use and benefit
thereof belongs to all Of us.
That is what congress. by their
money laws have been doing, whether
they did 1t to assist the robbers or
because they were too indolent or in
competent to figure it out correctly is
not for me to say.
But / do say that is what has been
done, and the benefciaries Of those
errors or gratis are a few very rich
people.
The incorporeal value, in good, law
fui money, exceeds in value any other
one kind of property. Lawful money,
whether it be gold. silver or paper
symbols. because of its lawful charac-
ter, If it really be lawful, gives the
possessor thereof permission to pur-
chase in the open market within the
United States, or so far as the law
power making said money extends, any
kind of property that he wants, and
when it comes to paying for 1t, the
value of the money (not of the symboD
is what the law has fixed 1t to be, and
no quibbling about that. That is
A law that makes 1t a legal tender
except, is not an honest law, as money
so made and put into circulation Is not
an honest money.

The Volusia County Record seems to
think that the idea Of state division
division is fool talk on the part of
both West and South Florida Wait"
he says, until the state gets a couple
million inha bitants, then bring the
matter up" Why should we wait :?
Jacksonville has two United States
senators and in case the state Is di-
v*ded at the Suwanee river the Record
would still have gentlemen from Jack
sonville representing her section in the
United States senate. We already have
one West Florida man in congress,
making good. The Milton Gazette says
they have a man big enough for gov
ernor. and If the balance of the pro-
posed new state can find one of the
senators Gadsden county could GER
tainly furnish the second one. True
enough this would be working a spike
team, but with Emmett Wilson in the
lead there's no telling what the sta te
of West Florida could do when she
'driv thru the tlrongs in front of the
White House and requested President
Wilson to appoint some one else in
place of Joe Lee. No brother its not

Senator Bryan's
Primary Bill.

1t Is devoutly to be hoped that the
primary BILL prepared by Senator
Bryan will become law. 1t has many
good features and while far from be-
ing a perfect measure. Is probably the
best primary election law that has
ever been proposed for Florida. II
will make 1t possible for a poor man
or one with moderate means to be-
come a candidate and be elected to
important office.
II it's provisions are strictly carried
out, 1t will keep the republican voters
from participating in the democratic
primaries. It has been estimated that
about 5000 of these have been in the
habit of assisting to name democratic
candidates. In some counties they hold
the balance Of power and peace In
nominating men obje ctionable to a
majority of democrats.
When this bill Is passed and signed,
we hope it's provisions win be thor
oughly studied by all election officers
and voters as well and that the law
will be rigidly enforced In every pre-
cinct in Florida.
