WEEKLY GAZETTE. SATURDAY...SEPT. 6, 1894 SUBSCRIPTION, per year, $2. THE SUPREME COURT CRITICISED. John Nightingale is the name of the foreman of the San Francisco Grand Jury which submitted its report on last Saturday, and the song that he sang was lively and long. The report would fill eight columns of the Gazette, and it spares neither age, sex nor condition. From Pound keeper to Supreme Judge, every official gets a vigorous raking—and no doubt a deserved one. The short comings of the county officials is not of special interest to readers of a country paper, but they can appreciate that part of the report which deals with the Supreme Court. The jury say: The reorganization of the Supreme Court of this State increasing the number of Judges and opening two Courts, acting under the limitations and restrictions of Section 24 of Article VI of the New Constitution, caused the not unreasonable expectation of prompt final legal decisions and relief from the great evils caused by the law's delay. Section 24, Article VI, New Constitution, reads as follows: No Judge of a Superior Court, nor of the Supreme Court, shall, after the first day of July, 1880, be allowed to draw or receive any monthly salary, unless he shall take and subscribe on dath that, "No case in his Court remains undecided that has been submitted for decision for the period of ninety days." To the ordinary mind the fair construction of Section 24 would be that the people of this State, under and by the Constitution, had limited the time in which Judges of the Superior and Supreme Courts should decide causes, and decreed that no cause should remain undecided that had been submitted for decision for the period of ninety days. The view taken by the Judges of the Supreme Court of constitutional restrictions and limitations of their authority, as provided in Section 24, will be seen by a reference to the records of the Court; the following by way of illustration: No. 8,614—The Mound City Land and Water Association, a corporation, and Los Angeles County Bank — Respondent — vs. Louis Phillip, Trinidad Yorba, Francisco Palomares, Henry Dayton, Appellants. 1882. September 4th, transcript filed. December 15th, cause submitted on briefs. CONDITION OF IRELAND. We gather from British newspapers that the Emerald Isle is fairly prosperous and comparatively tranquil. The reign of terror is at an end, and obnoxious landlords no longer require police protection; and in the few instances where the protection is extended to fear-burdened landlords, they have to pay dearly for it, the government no longer furnishing body-guards at the public expense. It is significant of the change in the state of affairs in the country to find Mr. Burke, the agent of Lord Ardilaun, in County Mayo, who had his police body-guard, not only through the Land League times, but for a considerable time prior to that period, has now had the guard withdrawn and moves about without an escort like ordinary mortals. The truth is that the absence of crime and outrage of every description seems to render it quite unnecessary to continue these special precautions. The most popular man in the district of which Ballinrobe is the centre is the famous Captain Boycott, who is hand and glove with the men who used to be prominent Land Leaguers. The charge, however, it is right to add, is rather in them than in Captain Boycott, for there is not at present a county in Ireland more free from agitation than the county which has so often been called "the cradle of the Land League," and the better disposed and more industrious classes in the county of all ranks are absolutely delighted at the change. The wording tradesmen—not a very large number, to be sure, but still not an inconsiderable element—are benefiting by the revival of a demand for labor. The small farmer is secure in his holding, and this year, at all events, there is every prospect of a harvest which will enable rents to be paid, and ward off all thoughts of famine. The cereal crops are everywhere excellent, and even in the more backward parts of Mayo and on the poorest soils the crop is not only a good average, but will, if all goes well, be early gathered. Further cast and on richer soils, in Roscommon and Westmeath, for example, all the grain crops are on the verge of ripeness, while in portions of Westmeath and of the County Dublin both barley and oats in large quantities might be cut at any moment.

July 31st, submission set aside and case to be placed on calendar for reargument. October 9th argued and submitted. January 29th, judgment and order affirmed. This cause was submitted December 15, 1882; "ordered that submission be set aside March 19, 1883," ninety-four days after submission [first time]. Argued and submitted second time April 24, 1883; "ordered that second submission be set aside July 31, 1883," ninety-seven days after submission [second time]. Argued and submitted third time October 9, 1883: Judgment and order affirmed January 29, 1884, 112 days after the third submission, and 410 days after the first submission: Judgment of lower Court affirmed. The affidavits of the Judges of the Supreme Court filed monthly, are in the words following: I —— Associate Justice of the Supreme Court of the State of California, being first duly sworn, depose and say that no cause in the Supreme Court remains undecided that has been submitted to said Court for the period of ninety days next preceding (date). Subscribed and sworn to before me this day of —— 188 —— No venue. When the affidavits for the month of December, 1883, were made and filed, the cause No. 8,614 had been submitted for decision for the period of 381 days, and remained undecided. The power to order a submission set aside after it has been entered; to resubmit; and to add the words "next preceding" to the affidavit, does not seem to be authorized by the constitutional provision, but to be exercised to defeat the limitation contained therein and for its complete nullification. If the government of the people means their right to limit the powers to be exercised by all public officers, then the exercise of power by the Judges of the Supreme Court to defeat the limitation fixed in Section 24 of Article VI of the Constitution is usurpation and is subversive of such government. Prolonged delay by the Supreme Court of final decision of causes is tyranny, is a denial of the protection of the laws and is equal to the deprivation of property without due process of law. [Here follows a table giving a list of cases appealed during the past three years and comparing it with the proceeding three years.] The foregoing statement, taken from the records, proves the fact, that the number of cases appealed to the Supreme Court under the New Constitution, as well as the decisions, has greatly increased, and if it be true with the present number of judges and courts, Section 24 of Article VI cannot be honestly complied with, then the Constitution should be amended not by the Judges but by the people. The number of judges and courts should be increased or the right off all thoughts of famine. The cereal crops are everywhere excellent, and even in the more backward parts of Mayo and on the poorest soils the crop is not only a good average, but will, if all goes well, be early gathered. Further cast and on richer soils, in Roscommon and Westmeath, for example, all the grain crops are on the verge of ripeness, while in portions of Westmeath and of the County Dublin both barley and oats in large quantities might be cut at any moment. Potatoes in the western counties, as everywhere else, promise to be a splendid crop, excellent in quality and satisfactory in quantity. Even turnips, which were kept back by the drought of May and June, are now doing well, and will probably not be much behind an average crop. There has been some rain in the west of Ireland, which has had nothing so far but a beneficial effect. Throughout the country generally, however, the weather is dry and warm, and most suitable for the present stage of the crops. The Chief of Police of Pittsburg, Penn., has arrayed himself in all the majesty of his authority against the government of the United States and the Austrian Empire. The Austrian Consul stationed at Pittsburg upon a late ceremonial occasion displayed the Austrian flag from his consulate. Upon being ordered by the Chief of Police to take it down, he refused to comply and was threatened with arrest. The matter was brought to the notice of the Department of State, instructions were issued to the Governor of Pennsylvania to direct the Mayor of Pittsburgh to cause a suitable apology to be made to the insulted flag flyer. The Mayor says he will consult his attorney before he takes action. Evidently, there is more buncombe than brains in Pittsburg. HENDRICKS is an abler man than Cleveland. He is bolder. He is a better politician. He knows what Cleveland does not seem to know, that the public appreciate an outspoken declaration of unpopular belief detest a cowardly evasion of any expression or opinion. Cleveland, knowing that the free trade proclivities of his party are odious to the masses, refrained from alluding to the question in his letter of acceptance, but the bold Hendricks in a speech at Indianapolis last week adopted the more sagacious policy of indorsing a tariff reform. Mr. Hendricks probably reasons that as defeat is inevitable, he might as well go down under his true colors. More power to his tongue.

The number of judges and courts should be increased or the right of appeal to them be limited. What a curious thing law is, anyhow! We have made that observation in these columns before. We are tempted to make it again, from the fact that the newspaper which impugned the honor of Mrs. Blaine appeared in court by its attorneys and filed a demurrer reciting that "the complaint does not set forth facts sufficient to constitute a cause of action." The attorneys knew it was a lie, the court knew it, and everybody else knew it; but as it is a grand principle of law that a case must never be tried on its merits unless it can't be helped, the demurrer was sufficient to postpone the trial for a few days, as it was intended to do. The somewhat celebrated Zach Montgomery, who for a year or more has been residing in San Diego, announces that he is an independent candidate for District Attorney of that county for the very peculiar reason, as stated in his letter, "not so much for the honor of the office as for the honor of crushing a vile falsehood, which twenty years ago Mr. John Swett, the then State Superintendent of Public Instruction, incorporated in his official report charging the writer with having introduced a bill into the California Legislature, To apportion the School Fund, among the Catholic Schools of this State." Really, when a man gets an itch for office he can find strange reasons for thrusting himself forward. An Associated Press dispatch says: The American missionaries in Foo Chow were uninjured during the recent bombardment. Now we understand why the Chinese are to have a big celebration in Los Angeles. The Massachusetts Republicans have nominated Governor George D. Robinson and the Democrats have nominated W. C. Endicott for Governor. The Vermont State election held on Tuesday last resulted in a Republican clean sweep by a majority of about 22,000. A Brutal Husband. Frank Toal probably stands at the head of wife-beaters in this vicinity. On the 27th of last month he went to his house and, for the eighth or ninth time, proceeded to beat and kick his wife. After beating her until she was black and blue, the fiend proceeded to pour boiling hot water over her. The affair at the time created considerable feeling against the man, and it was probably a fortunate thing for him that he left for parts unknown. Deputy Constable Berry has been ever on the alert for Toal, and last night succeeded in capturing his man. He was brought up before Justice Ling this (Wednesday) afternoon and held in $500 bail to answer. A long term in San Quentin would be altogether too light a sentence for a brute of Toal's stamp. It is said that Toal at one time bit a piece of a man's cheek out and preserved the relic in alcohol. Mrs. Toal is still in a dangerous condition. Bucklen's Arnica Salve.

An English chemist who has analyzed all sorts of cannel goods comes to the conclusion that there is no danger from metallic poison. Any metallic salt present in sufficient quantities to be poisonous would render the contents so unpalatable that they would not be eaten. The shipping of stale and unwholesome fruit to some of the larger cities is being practiced on an extensive scale.

Martin Weinberger was hanged at Pittsburg, Pa., in the county jail yard for the murder of Louis Gottfreund, a peddler, near Sewickly, on the night of June 16, 1882. The execution was private. The condemned did not falter. Weinberger was a Hebrew, and is believed to be the second of his race ever hanged in the United States. The postoffice at Williamsport, Pa., was robbed on Sunday last of $4,500 worth of stamps. The chief clerk was called to the door to see a man in a buggy. He was not out three minutes, but during that time four packages of stamps were taken from the safe and four packages similar in appearance substituted. These contained brown paper. The Sacramento Bee of Monday evening published an account of an alleged deficiency in the accounts of Horace Stevens, a land lawyer of the city, formerly employed in a confidential relation in Surveyor-General Willey's office. Stevens applied immediately for warrants for criminal libel against the Bee proprietors. Developments compromising to the Surveyor-General are promised on the trial. The wages of a gang of Italian laborers near Saratoga were recently cut down ten cents a day. Instead of striking, they cut an inch off their shovel blades at night.

The National Convention of the National Labor party met in New York and decided not to hold a National Convention at Chicago, as intended. The following declaration was issued: "In view of the general union of the various labor and reform movements under the banner of the People's party, which embodies in the main the reforms urged by this organization, the National Committee of the National Labor party entirely declare our approval of, and co-operation with said Party's party, and local organizations are hereby directed to co-operate with said organization during this campaign in support of the people's champion, Benjamin F. Butler." Boise is the capital of Idaho. There is no Capitol building as yet, the Legislature sitting in a hall hired for the purpose. The Governor's executive office is in a brick dwelling only one story high. The new Governor, Bann, arrived on the day of a circus. The proprietor proposed to suspend the morning performance and hold the celebration in the tent. His offer was accepted, and the circus people joined in the procession. A platform was erected at one side of the ring, and on it sat eight ministers and a Bishop. The tumblers, bare-back riders, and acrobats waited until the close of the celebration, when the tent was cleared, the people bought tickets, and the second show began.—N. Y., Sun. At Indianapolis on Tuesday argument was heard in the U. S. District Court, Judge Woods presiding, on the demurrer filed by the Sentuel Company to the complaint of James G. Blaine, charging libal. The attorneys for the defense contended: First, that the description of Blaine in the alleged libelous publication was not sufficiently specific and might have referred to some other Blaine; second, that the publication was in the nature of an inquiry; third, that the article was not libelous in itself, and Blaine, in order to recover, must sue for special damages. The attorneys for Blaine replied briefly, and Judge Woods took the matter under advisement. It is not known when a decision will be given. Freights on Fruits The State Board of Horticulture at its meeting in San Francisco on Friday of last week was informed that the Southern Pacific Railroad Company would transfer, free of charge, the fruit exhibit from this State to the New Orleans World's Fair. A committee will devise means to collect a creditable exhibition of both preserved and fresh fruit for the Fair, and a member will attend the Fair to give the exhibition a proper and intelligent representation. The subject for discussion for the meeting being the question of railroad freight charges in their relation to the future welfare of the fruit-growers, Judge Blackwood remarked that, like the old rat in the council, where it was decided to bell the cat to deprive it of danger. A middle-aged woman, who gives her name as Mrs. Ellen Murphy, attempted to drown herself in Guadalupe creek Sunday afternoon but was taken from the water in time to save her. She is from San Diego, where she has a son living, and says she is destitute and penniless and wanted to die. Robbers are getting bold in Modesto. The other night some men drove a wagon alongside a car at the depot loaded with wheat and coolly proceeded to transfer the grain from the car to the wagon. An officer discovered them and the thieves fled, leaving the wagon in the hands of the minion of the law. The Merced Argus tells of Mrs. A. M. F. Sage of that place, though 65 years old, has within the past year woven 1,200 yards of rag carpet and done over $100 worth of plain sewing, besides caring for her neat little home and walking a mile every day to do the marketing and choreing for a family of five. She is a Kentuckian by birth. The Vallejo Chronicle says: "On Thursday last Eddie Seofield, aged 6 years, son of Dr. Scofield, stepped on a rattlesnake in the grass near Rattlesnake Gulch, on Mare Island. The serpent writhed, but did not bite, and was immediately afterward disabled by a stick while coiled tightly, with head erect. The two rattles and the button were secured as a trophy." A Susanville correspondent of the Reno Gazette says: "That frightful disease, the bloody flux, has made its appearance in town again among the children. Three deaths occurred in the past week, which is a large mortality list for this place. Many families have taken their children and gone to the woods, camping. Quite a number are down with the disease and it is feared more deaths will occur." Cemetery Superintendent Herndon of Sacramento is making a good thing out of the Chinese. There are 210 bodies of Mongolians to be exhumed from Helvetia Cemetery and forwarded to China. It costs $10 each to have the graves opened, one-half of which goes to the city and the other half to the Superintendent. Herndon doubtless thinks he has lit upon a good office. At Prescott, Arizona, last week, in the Palace Saloon, Fred Glover, a gambler, knocked down and stamped to death Nellie Coyle, alias Jeanne Clark, his mistress, because she had refused to give him a hundred dollars which she yesterday remitted to a sister she was educating in Santa Cruz, at which place she formerly resided, and where she has many relatives living. Glover is from Livermore and is said to be highly connected. From fifteen to twenty so-called fighting men watched the occurrence but not one had the courage to interfere. The Holy Sabbath New York, September 1.—Sunday was made hideous hereabouts by several riots. There was one murder, and scores were sent to the hospital injured. The picnic party on board a steamboat fought from the beginning to the end. Upon returning there were no less than sixteen fights at one time at the landing place. Women were brutally kicked and thrown overboard, and children were knocked down and hurt. Not until a section of the police had arrived was order restored. Only a few arrests were made. A riot occurred in Twenty-eighth street among the negroes. The policemen who attempted to quell the disturbance were slashed with razors and beaten with clubs, and were forced to retire. Upon reinforcements arriving all were set upon by The State Board of Horticulture at its meeting in San Francisco on Friday of last week was informed that the Southern Pacific Railroad Company would transfer, free of charge, the fruit exhibit from this State to the New Orleans World's Fair. A committee will devise means to collect a creditable exhibition of both preserved and fresh fruit for the Fair, and a member will attend the Fair to give the exhibition a proper and intelligent representation. The subject for discussion for the meeting being the question of railroad freight charges in their relation to the future welfare of the fruit-growers, Judge Blackwood remarked that, like the old rat in the council, where it was decided to bell the cat to deprive it of danger, he wanted to know who would bell the railroad. Mr. Jesup said he had been informed that the railroad was making as much freight profit on the three cars of fruit now daily shipped East as it could if it shipped thirty cars daily at rates which would induce growers to fill that many cars. He thought if the proper representations were made to the company it could be made to see that as the prosperity of large sections of fruit country depends upon the possibility of getting its fruit East cheaply, the company would give the matter consideration. Mr. Hatch said that at present one fruit-grower had absolute control of the Eastern market, as by special contract with the company, they carried two car-loads daily for him, and refused to carry more than three car-loads a day (by fast freight), thus leaving the rest of the State dependent upon but one car. We must find a market for our surplus fruit, and the railroad has control of the only channel to that market. He believed the railroad would meet the growers fairly if the subject was properly represented to them. Mr. Kelsey said that the only solution was to wait for competition. The Northern Pacific takes a car-load of wheat to Chicago for $80. The Central Pacific ought not to charge more than twice that, $160, for a car of fruit, but it does charge $1,200. Mr. Shinn said that the cost of a car-load of fruit in California, ready for shipment, is $1,200; the railroad charges as much as the fruit is worth, $1,200, to take it East, but if it would only reduce its rates to a reasonable sum it could have a daily train of thirty cars filled with fruit for the East, for the Eastern market would take thirty, yes, sixty, cars a day, if the fruit could be laid down there so as to be sold for 12½ cents per pound. Mr. Wilcox said that as the future of the great industry of fruit-growing depends on the question of freight charges, a committee should be appointed to confer with the company on the subject. This suggestion was carried out, and Messrs. Hatch, Wilcox and Blackburn were appointed a committee on conference. NEW YORK, September 1.—Sunday was made hulous hereabouts by several riots. There was one murder, and scores were sent to the hospital injured. The picnic party on board a steamboat fought from the beginning to the end. Upon returning, there were no less than sixteen fights at one time at the landing place. Women were brutally kicked and thrown overboard, and children were knocked down and hurt. Not until a section of the police had arrived was order restored. Only a few arrests were made. A riot occurred in Twenty-eighth street among the negroes. The policemen who attempted to quell the disturbance were slashed with razors and beaten with clubs, and were forced to retire. Upon reinforcements arriving all were set upon by the rioters. Several had their heads cut, and many had their helmets and uniforms slashed: still they forced their way, and overpowered Johnson, Tyler, St. John and Ebenhart. All of these were more or less clubbed. Johnson's head was broken, but he fought so hard it took eight men to hold him while the surgeon dressed his wounds. All were looked up. The Brooklyn police were summoned to Rockaway Beach by telephone last night, because of rioting in progress. The summons was soon after countermanded, but it is known that several dangerous affrays occurred. Myers and Fredericks, two amateur athletes just returned from Europe, were arrested yesterday for fighting. The employees of the New York Empire Laundry Association started Sunday morning on the barge Union for Linden Grove, near Elm Park, Staten Island. On the trip one of the excursionists attempted to steal some sandwiches from the bar, when the barkeeper struck him with a club. The crowd then pounced upon the barkeeper, beating him to death with glasses, plates, pitchers and whatever else they could lay hands on.
