Takes Issue With That Olficial’s View of the Jugiro Case. Congress Intended to Adopt the Com- mon Law When It Enacted Sectioa 766 Attorney George D. Collins has ad- dressed the following open letter to At- torney-General Fitzgerald, giving his opinion of the effect oi the appeal to the Supreme Court in the Durrant case: To the Hon. W. F. Fitzgerald, Attorney-General of Caiifornia—Sin: You will recognize it 1o be the duty o1 every lawyer (o defend the law absurd but exceedingly dsugerous to the wel- fare of the State. Accordingly, considering such to be the cheracter of the constructions you have piaced upon section 766 of the Re- vised Statutes of the United States, I desire to direct your attention to the fact that both the history and language of that law are opposed to the view you have taken. In the first place it was the purpose of Con- gress to place in statutory form the Common- law doctrine that the writ of habeas corpus operated to transfer the legal cusiody of the prisoner to the court issuing the writ; all in- terference therefore with that custody was necessarily a violation of that court's jurisdic- tion—that, I say, is the doctrine’ of the Congress to adopt in enacting section 7 the Revised Statutes of tbe Unitea States; a reference to the debates snd to the author ties dealing wiih the power of the State pen: ing the final determination of the case, where the Federal court had issued the writ 1 person imprisoned s ness of my position. vor of 0 te process, will demonstrate the correct- |up yesterday and sent around pretty construction; it s only such proceedings sgainst the prisoner “in any State court or by or under the suthority of any State for any of being heard or determined, under such writ of habeas corpus, shall be deemed nulland vold.” ‘That necessarily requires as a condition precedent t0 its Operation ihat the writ of ha- beas corpus shall nave actually issued; until then neither the reasons nor the purpose of the law demands noninterference on the part of the for as the Federal court has not tak- en the case within the jurisdiction of the Na- tional ~ Government no _interference is possible. The mere fact that the prisoner has made an application for the writ is of no consequence, it is the issuance of the writ that determines the question, the application for the writ is denied that'is a retusal of the Federal court to take cognjzance of the case, and the mere Tight or exercise of the right to prosecute an appeal from that refusal can no more affect the power of the State to deal wiih the prisoner than did the mere filing and presentation of his application in toe first instance. Any otner coustruction would be open to the fatal objection gave o the statute an operacion beyond the scope of the powers conlerred upou Congress by the constitution. In the third place t constructioa you have given the law wouid ad- mit of an indefinite stay of execution, and in fact, would make the law invalidate even the imprisonment under State process—a thing that can only be possible where tne custody of the prisoner has passed to the Federal courts, and that is never the case where ihe court re- fuses 10 issue the Writ of habeas corpus. Now of course, I have not attempted to do more reasons why you shou'd not rest satisfied with the constructions you say you are forced. to give 1o the law. Ihavenot quoted from fhe decisions nor given your citations from what may be said 10 constitute the history of the events which led to the enaciment; space would not permit me to do so. Nor did the courts in Jugiro vs. Brush,(140 N.S. 291, d cide that the law applicd 10 _cases where t lication for the writs of hebeas corpus ; the point was not before the court; the applicability of the iaw was assumed, bui not decided. that you bring the question belore the Fed- eral courts, and in this wise: On the failure of the warden of the State prisom to execute the mandate of the Saperior Court, that court can cite him and punish him for cont2mpt by imprisonment. Then he can o habess corpus from the United peal ¢éan be prosccuted to the reme Court. Of course you understand the [aw to be that & person in custody under State process in violation of & taw of the United Siates is entitled to & writ of habeas corpus from tne Federal courts. Or you can oblain a adverse to the warden, by emptory wrii he can ‘su out a writ of error, Cour by that means. The preferable method would be that first above suggested.

David Speaks in Strong Terms on “ The Earth, God’s Gift to Man.” The subject of single tax as a reform measure is daiiy engaging greater attention among thinking people. Last evening the Rev. J. 8. David of the Firs: Swedenborgian Ohurch addressed a large audience at 320 Pogt street, on “The Earih, God’s Gift to Man,” in which he advocated in strong terms this form of social amelioration. He said in part: Ladies and Gentlemen: I do notstand before you this evenine as the representative of church, creed or political party, but shnpiy as a citizen, & lover of justice and & be- liever in the fatherhood of God and 'the brothertood of man. W hen Christ was preparing to leave the world he gave & promise io his disciples that he would send them the Comiorter, and hat this Comforter, the Holy Spizit, would ‘‘convict the world of sin, of righteousness and of judgment.”” Hence every Chiristian minister, following the leadings of the Spirit, has three duties to perform, the first of which is 10 convict the world of sin. if 1 have a neighbor who isa thief, and I wish to elevate and save him, my first work is to convince him of the evil of taking what belongs to another and the absolute necessily of giviog it upin order to take evan the first effectual step in the upward path. Socicty is my neighbor on a larger scale; and if I am conscious of & thievish elemeut pervading our socisl laws and cusioms it is my ‘duty to reveai the Achan in the camp, that he may be brought forth ana slain. Israelcould make 1O progress while the thief in tne garb of a iriend was alive in their midst. There 18 to-day an element of theft on a gigantic scale prevalent everywhere among men, honored by the worid and sanctioned by the church. This theitis theactof depriving men of the free blessings of nature. It is theft, robbery and gambling all in cne. There are at least four necessaries of [ite which kind naiure has given iree to all men and which, therefore, no one has any right (o exclude others from ; these are sir, water, sunshine nd earth. There is no record in ail the archives of the past thai Ged ever gave (0 any man a itle deed to ary portion of these four elements 1o the exclusion of others capable of enjoyin, them. Therefore they are things which man caunot exciusively possess. Lverything that create I can possess. 1t i8 mine to hold, sell, or bequeath, because 1 either made it or paid an- other for haviug made it. But how canl justly own as private property, to hold, sell or be- qneath that which neither 1 nor any other inan ever made In our present sysiem rents are everywhere flowing into the pockets of landlords, ever sugmenting their power 10 control legisiation and ensiave the peopie, whereas under a single- tax system the rents would flow into the public till, producing & fund sufficient to run all the expenses of government andall public institutions, with an immense iund left over for ad- ditional uses. Bul, of course, reiits would be much lower than they are now, as they would be fixed by the actual needs of the Government and the public uses. Supposing that tke blood in our veins, instead of flowing into the heart where it would umped forth into the arteries, should by some strange acciden! change its course and flow into the slomach until the heart, veins and arteries would all be empiied and the blood piled up in the wrong place, how long wouid it be before paraiysis and death would re- sult? Such is our presentsystem. Our currencr, instead of flowing into the heari—the pub- lic treasury—where 1t would again return to the peopie, is flowing [nlo the pockets of private ana irresponsible landlords, swelling their wealth to an appaliing magniiude, giving them Jower o debauch government, ensiave the people and paralyze the nation. e may lecture orever about this peily reform or thnt palliative or youaer caarity; but until we direct the circolating medium (0 the beart nothing but death will siare us in the face. When tne single- tax system is adopted our currency will flow into the pubiic till and thence be directed into the channeis o! public use for the bouetit of the whole people, producing & normal circula- tion of the national blood, and thence nealth and prosperity. According to this sysiem the amount of taxation is fixed by the commercial value of the land occunied. Itis not the acreage that is taxed, but the valae. A poor farm will be taxed little or nothing, while a valuable city lot will command a good compensation for the exeiu- sive right to use'it. Such a pian wouid prevent speculating in the free beneflis of nature; would prevent the holding of 1and out of use for a rise in yalue, which others than the holder bring about, and would open the miiliovs of unoccunied acres to the miilions of people who are now shut off from access to them by the land-grabbers, who will neither use them them- selves nor let others use them. It would provide homes, snd & home is a biessing that no one should be deprived of. Another great blessing that such a system would bring to the world would be the removal of the burden of taxation from the shoulders of industry. 1 have noticed, und %0 have you, TOW after row of Jow, shabby buiidings, in which busiuess of various kinds was being carried on that taxed the capacity of the butidings. No one cared to put up a larger building, for once 8 larger (ax wouid siare him in the face. The finer the building the heavier the fin Fined for industry! Fined for improving and beautifiying the city! Fined for giving emplo; ment to those who need it! If the tax were removed irom the shoulders of all honest worl rusty wheels of industry would at once begin to revolve. Architects, stone-maso iayers, carpenters, plumbers, glaziers, etc., would readily find employment; business’ wou.d revive; speculation and abnormal wealth thence resulting would be suppressed: the growth of government-corrupting mounopolies would be coeckea; the necessity for superficial charities would be reduced by simple justice, ana general prosperity would be insured. This is not the nul&:uonn needed, but it is one and the foundetion of all others. It s as ahm’\n health of the Nation as the proper circulation of the blood is to the heatth of e . 1897.

Twenty Little Ones Corfirmed at the Temple Emanu-EL ~ Rabbi Voorsanger Speaks of the Growth of th: Church and G ves Confirmants Good Aivice. The Feast of Pentecost was generally observed in the churches yesterday, and as is customary was made an occasion for unusually impressive ceremonies in the Jewish synagogues. ‘What was undoubtedly the most im- | portant and greatest attended celebration | was that which took place at the Temple | Emanu-ElL on Sutter street, near Stock- | ton. Here, as was the case with the other | synagogues, the floral decorations were | superb. The chief feature of the Temple | Emanu-El service was the confirmation | of twenty little boys and girle, all ad- | | vanced members of the Sunday-school | class. The exercises began with the rendi- tion of appropriate psalms. | “Come ye and let us walk in the light of | the Lord,” was the command to the con- firmants. “The law of the Lord is perfect.” | recited Rabbi Voorsanger to his little | charges, “'restoring the soul. The testi-| ihe wise simple. The preceptsof the Lord are plain, rejoicing the heart. The fear of the Lord is pure, enduring forever. Be- hold a good doctrine has been unto you, therefore forsake it not.”” As tbe candidates took their places Henry Irving Lyons delivered the open- ing confirmation prayer and this was fol- lowed by an address hy Albert Rosen- shure. Dr. Voorsanger spoke to the confirmants and pave them some advice regarding the future, which if they remember and profit by it will do much toward molding their journey through life. What the rabbi dwelt upon most fervently was the neces- sity for them to grow up as good citizens— respectable, moral, honest, pure men and women. The reverend gentleman then reverted to a resume of the church’s his- | tory since the celebration of thelast feast | He said he could find words | only of congratuiation and expressions of | joy. The expansion of the congregation | and the security of its future success were both matters for general rejoicing. Much good had been accomplished, much char- ity bestowed. It was an example, he said, that the confirmants could not heip being benefited by.
