Tho Central Street or Electric Railway Company has made application for the right to run through Sixth street to <-l, and out Q street to meet its trunk line. The REeonn-1 NioN has already set out in detail the reasons why this grant should be made. Those reasons are in controvertible. We do not anticipate that there will be refusal on the part of the Trustees, but if there is any doubt upon that head it should be again pointed out that the desiro of the people is to have this branch line constructed, and that over and above all things else their •wishes should be gratified. But there aro economic reasons aside from the public desire that l'ortify tho application for the franchise. Tho rail way corporation proposes to go into an unoccupied district, at least, thinly set tled, and build up a business. In doing that it stimulates the building of homes, and enhances property values, thus aug menting the assessment roll and decreas ing taxation. Contemporaneous with the building of the road goes street grading and paving, and that is a matter in which the people upon the line of the street alone are to be consulted. For whenever the owners of property affected dosire to assess themselves to improve a street no voice should be heard in opposition, and if it is, the mo tive inspiring it should be the subject of suspicion. Here, then, we have capital proposing to '.uil'd a new lino of rapid transporta tion that will do for the south end what go jd street railways always do for su burban and outlying sections; a people owning the land upon the line of tho Btroet who are, nine out of every ten, willing and desirous of grading the Street in order to secure the road; a city needing just such lines of travel as this brunch road will be. Who, then, is there to object? What good reason can be given for interposing obstacles to this industrial, progressive and developing scheme? That the road will compete with a line on O street we do not believe to be true in fact the result will be to stimulate pat for all the roads. The greater the conveniences for riding the more the people ride. If any risk in the matter of return of revenue is taken, it is assumed by tho company proposing to build; if any gain is made by reason of the con struction of the road, the municipality Will be the chief beneficiary above all private persons. Since all reason, the economies, the of granting the Central line the right to feeders, as have been granted the City Railway Company, the prosperity of the city and the conservation of the COmfblt, health and enjoyment of the I at large, all combine to indorse the application for the franchise wecan lerlain any doubt concerning its i -&ion. A SEItFISH END IN VIEW. A N» w York daily paper has found, aft.iT diligent search, nine prominent New York and Brooklyn who ■wish the electrical execution law re i :. in whole or in part. One of these, Mr. Depew, wishes the law vacated be cause be is opposed to capital punish ment in any form. Another. Mr. HaSM tt, I - the guillotine, and is opposed to repeal of BO much of the law as prohibits sensational reports ot executions. Five favored repeal of the "news report" por tion of the law, and two wished it to Stand, but to have ••» return to hanging. rrident thai a considerable portion of the New York press has set out to '.It!,,- lan- that bars their sensational reporting of the executions. In this i: is perfectly i Lear that they are not moved by public spirit, but have only a ielfiah end in view, ami that is to cater for coin to <ii-- aw d taatea. The dis tinguished men who bave been led, into I ap of aiding thi- scheme, would not for a moment ha\e been guilty of it If they had not been cunningly deceived ' y the reporters who Interviewed them. There is not one of th< m men who would take the average sensational report of a hanging and place it upon the family tul>l<- to be read by hit children. The plea is made, pot into the mouths of the "interviewed," that tho news papers know what the people want, and should therefore be given permission to « ; > rto the taste of the people, no matter what it is; it is added that If the people do not wish this kind of reading matter, they need not read it. This is the bight •f imbecility iv reasoning. These New York men know thai if a newspaper should publish a pa;,e of n.r.tter of the "Venus Miscellany" order, it would have an immense reading clientage, but would they justify that procedure because there are people of such grossly erotic tastes that they demand lilth in print? Suppose that a New York journal should enter upon the publication of scenes of name less character in houses of prostitution and assignation, strictly true, precisely accurate, would not the paper be in enormous demand; but would these gen-' tlenien who prate so loudly of the liberty of the press therefore justify the publi cation of such outrageously indecent matter? We need no censorship in this country, nor should the liberty of the press be narrowed. But it is a gross mistake to suppose that press liberty carries with it license to do that which corrupts youth, debauches the public mind and directly assails the scheme of social order and cleanliness. From the foundations of the Government the press has been forbidden to publish certain kinds of matter; the interests of civilization, humanity, peace and order demand such restrictions. No man has the right to thrust beneath tho eyes of his neighbor, or his neighbor's children, such print as the law forbids, and the reason for this denial is too obvi vious to need recitation. Moreover, it is not capable of demon stration that the newspaper people know what the people want to read. They do know what classes want; that there are classes cleanly, and classes indecent, and and that they will have a clientage of readers for all the filth they choose to put into print. Isut it does not follow that the people as a whole, the people of whom we speak as the community, ask that in decent and demoralizing matter be printed. There is not, and has not been, a single indication that the people of New York went about starving for the publi cation of sensational reports of the exe cution of the murderers in Sing Sing a low weeks ago. There was no stoppage of subscriptions because revolting details \\ ere not given of the death scene; no I mass meetings were held in protest, no j public outspeaking of indignation was indulged in because reporters were com : pelled to cool their heels outside the walls jof the prison during the executions—in short, "the people" have not in any man ner whatever, manifested a desire for the repeal of the law; a Jaw, by the way, thai .me a necessity because the press had run to such outrageous extremes in re porting the ante-mortem scenes, the death j tragedy, and the sickening aftermath of executions. As to electrical execution itself, it is sufficient to say that all the testimony worthy of reception is in agreement that the process is instantaneous, painless and the most humane of all methods of exe j cution known to our system. Lowell was pre-eminently a man of letters. Upon that basis bis fame will rest, not only in bis own bat in other countries. It is charged that as a diplo mat ho was un-American ; that at the Court Of St. .hums he was a toady to aris j tocrary. All .such charges are baseless. Lowell was one of the most pronounced ' of Americans, a defender of free institu ! tiona, a champion of liberty and human rights, regardless of class, race or color; he was fearless whore others were cow ! ardly in defense of the American Union, j and that ho won for us abroad, by his tact i and line address, where others might havo led us into difficulties, will forever stand to his credit. That an American Minister, by his talents, his scholarly at tainments and his dignified bearing, should enhance respect for his country | and regard lor its representatives and in j stitutions, is surely no cause for reproach. Russia will this year export 50,000,(Xjo bushels less of cereals than last year, ac cording to Mr. Bear, the statistician, in Bradstreets. Austria-Hungary will ex port 27,000,000 less, Roumauia, Bulgaria and Scrvia will send out considerably less than they did last year. So that lui rope will have to import this year 281, --000,000 bushels, as she has a deficit of 371,000,000. Mr. Bear thinks that India may be able to supply 33,<xhj,000 bushels, and the United States 149,000,000, leaving 99,000,000 to oomefrom other quarters— - - uth America, Canada, Australia, Asia Minor and Kgypt. BradstreeU thinks Mr. Bear's e.-timates to be some what under the mark. The Parisian press is ju-*t now indulg ing to repletion in its love for sensational assault upon the Germans. The Kaiser is their present target, and when they do not picture him as a brute or describe him as a drunken rowdy, they insist upon it that be has gone mad and has been put Into a straight-jacket. The Parisian press mistakes sadly if it imagines that these extravagant tales inspire faith in their verity in any minds. THE Alliance Democrats in Kentucky, despite tho new organisation, went back and voted the Democratic ticket in the recent election. If this is an indication of general fealty to tho Alliance, it is likely to provo disastrous if the same re sult comes about in other States. Both in Mississippi and Kansas the Alliance men abandoned the sub-treasury scheme which tho party had received with plaudits. _ Tin. Stat« Democrat of South Dakota has been questioning leading members of its party upon the silver question, and finds only seven out of twenty-six in favor of free coinage. The craze is evi dently abating. South Dakota was claimed bo be strongly for free coinage, and especi ally it waa held that the Democrats of the State were, even inoro than tho Repub licans, in favor of that policy. Thk Letter-Carriers' National Conven tion, revently held, with applause adopted a resolution in these words: Reaolved, That tho letter-carriers of the dotted State*, in convention usse rubied, re ■pectfully a«k the President of the United States to extend the civil service to all free delivery cities of the country. This does not look as though civil serv ice reform ia falling into disrepute, as its > enemies charge. SACRAMENTO DAILY RECORP-IXyipyr, TUESDAY, AUGUST 18, 1891.—SIX PAGES. MRS. DR. MAGILL. She Died In the Napa Asylum—Buried at "Winters. The Winters Express of Saturday last says : "All that was mortal of Mrs. Ma gill, wife of Dr. Magill, was laid in the grave yesterday morning in the presence of a large concourse of sorrowing friends. The lady's death occurred at Napa on Thursday morning, and her remains wore brought here for sepulture. Rev. Father Walsh of Woodland conducted the services. Mrs. Magill was a woman highly respected by all who knew her, and one who labored for her kind, she having been a practicing physician up to within a few months of her decease. She will be missed by her husband, who was devoted to her, and by a large circle of friends. The sympathy of tho entire community is extended to the doctor in : his bereavement. "Mrs. Magill was born in Dubuque, lowa. March 2-J, 1855, and while an infant removed with her parents to Chillieothe, Peoria County, 111., where she was raised and educated in the convent at Peoria. She afterwards taught school several terms in Mason County, and was there married to Dr. 2. T. Magill in IS7B. In 1880 they removed to Lincoln, lienton County, Missouri. Mrs. Magili began the study of medicine about this time. She afterwards attended the Woman's Medical College in Chicago three terms, passed a very creditable examination and was awarded a diploma. "After her graduation, she and her hus band came to California. Mrs. Magill first engaged in the practice of medicine in Sacramento in 18S4, and was eminently successful iv her profession, she made many friends there during a residence of nearly four years, and was noted for her charitable disposition and kindness of heart."
