YANKEE SULLIVAN’S GRAVE.
'the FiLl Truth About the Pugilist’s
Death Ju3t Mads Public
J'nrn the Providence Journal.
Not far from the eastern extremity of the
old Mission Dolores Cemetery, near San
JYawisi.tt, there is a plain, white marble
monument, some eight or ten feet in height,
U pon which is carved the following inscrip
tion:
■UMF.S SITU .IVAN.
Uho Died By Tin- Hands Of The V. C., May 31,
1850, Aged 46 Years.
ANTHEM.
Remember not, O Lord, our offenses nor those
of our sins.
Thou sbalt bring my soul out of tribulation
and in Thy mercy Thou sltalt destroy mine ene
mies.
A NATIVE OP BAN DON. IRELAND.
Erected by James Jlulloy, Jam 26, IS6S.
This monument marks the gaave of the
famous prize fighter ‘‘Yankee” Sullivan,
who, though no relation to the present no
ted pugilist of the same surname was equal
ly renowned in his day. He was a remark
able man in many respects, and had a very
singular and romantic history, with which
no one but himself was ever fully acquainted.
He was known by several names at various
jieriod.-sof his life, and what his true one
'vas none of his associates in this country
knew, but it is quite certain that it was not
Sullivan.
Though born in Ireland, he went to Eng
land quite early in life, and soon gained a
wide reputation as a pugilist. He finally
placed himself in the front rank of his pro
fession by conquering Homer Lane, then
light weight of the fistic arena in England,
lie soon after emigrated to the United
States, and it was while keeping a saloon in
New York that he fought his great liattle
with Thomas Hyer, the famous American
pugilist, at Rock Point, Mil., Feb. 7, 1840,
for the championship of America and 810,-
OdO—the largest stake ever fought for in the
prize ring. The encounter was one of the
most celebrated on record. Though it re
sulted in Sullivan’s defeat, it made his name
known all over America, and he and Hyer
were the lions of the day.
Sullivan fought other celebrated battles
in this country, notably one with the late
John Morrissey, in which he wonkl certainly
have been victorious had he not taken a
hand in a wrangle which occurred between
the seconds, becoming so interested in it
that he failed to respond to the call of time,
whereupon the referee awarded the fight to
Morrissey.
In the latter part of 1855 Sullivan came
out to San Francisco, ostensibly for pleas
ure, and I am assured by Mr. A. N. Mur
phy, the esteemed old resident to whom I
am largely indebted for these reminiscences,
that during the few months that the pugil
ist lived here no man could have borne him
self more peaceably.
“I knew him well,” says Mr. Murphy,
“and whatever his previous record may
have been, I firmly believe that, so far as
his life on the Pacific coast is concerned, he
had a conscience void of offense toward any
man. But he came here with a bad imputa
tion, and being known as a pugilist he was
regarded by the Vigilantes as a quarrelsome
desperado, ever ready for any evil-doing
whatever that temptation and opportunity
might render possible. It was at the time
when tho Vigilance Committee was in the
height of its power, and when the life of
every man against whom there was even
the slightest ground for suspicion of disor
der was in momentary danger.
“Sullivan was an object of dislike to the
Vigilantes from the first, and may be truly
said to have been a marked man from the
very moment he set foot in San Francisco.
Yet so creditably did he conduct himself
that it was impossible for them to find any
pretext for his taking off until, at length,
lie acted as a judge of election in a bitter
political contest, which resulted in a man
ner unsatisfactory to the Vigilantes. Then
they seized and imprisoned him in their
rooms on a charge of being a party to ballot
box stuffing and other election frauds —an
accusation of which there was no proof,
and of which I myself and many other repu
table citizens who knew him believed him
entirely innocent.”
He was too popular a man, and there was
too little evidence of any wrongdoing for
the Vigilantes to execute him publicly, but
on the morning of May 31, 1856, he was
found lifeless in his place of confinement;
with a severed artery in his arm, from
which he had bled to death. All the local
newspapers accounts of this affair
published at the time, which
I have carefully gleaned from
old files in the Mercantile and other libraries
of San Francisco, state that he committed
suicide, and all who have written upon the
subject since then have quietly accepted that
statement without making any investiga
tion of its truth, but it must aiways be
borne in mind that the Vigilance Commit
tee absolutely controlled the entire press of
this city, and that therefore it wrote its own
history. There was but one newspaper—
the Herald —which dared to lift its voice,
and that a very feeble one, against the
committee and its doings. Ail the others
upheld it, and strongly urged it to
much bolder deeds than any it dared to
attempt.
Sullivan died in one of the committee’s
rooms, sequestered from all his friends and
from every eye save that of the Vigilance
Committee and the Great Author of life
and death. If the Vigilantes chose to make
the statement that Sullivan had taken his
own life, wno but the all-seeing God could
contradict or disprove their assertion.
Sullivan’s friends and the members of the
Law and Order party, an organization
formed by a few reputable citizens to op
pose the Vigilantes, believed that he had
been murdered by the committee. When
they applied for permission to inter his body
in the old cemetery of the Mission Dolores,
he having died a faithful Catholic, the ec
clesiastical authorities thoroughly investi
gated the matter, tho laws of the Church
forbidding the burial of a suicide in conse
crated ground. The result of that investi
gation was to thoroughly convince all con
cerned in it that Sullivan had been assassin
ated, and the fact that his remains now rest
in the consecrated burial ground of a Catho
lic Church is the best possible proof that
he was guiltless of any hand in his own
death.
MONOPOLIES IN THE' FORM OF
“ TRUSTS."
A New Danger Which Must he Met
With New Remedies.
From the Philadelphia Record.
The formation of “trusts” to control the
production of refined petroleum, cotton
seed oil, linseed oil, cordage, salt, sugar, load,
high wines and other merchandise, is a
matter of general notoriety. The “trusts”
are, in effect, corporations created without
the consent of the State, and not subject to
the control exercised over legalized corpor
ations The combination of coal companies
to sustain the prices of coal and to arbitrari
ly limit production is practically a “trust”
in the general scope of its operations. The
steel-rail combination is of like character.
Tho object of all these combinations is to
effect an illegal purpose by legal means.
They rest upon precisely the same founda
tion in right as do secret labor associations;
and, though the evil they accomplish is ap
parent, the means of checking it remains to
be discovered.
There would lie little difficulty in dealing
with t hose “trusts” which are dependent for
their successful operation upon the taxation
of imports. They Would go down before an
unrestricted competition as the quinine
combination melted away under that treat
ment. The re Deal of the duties on sugar,
mlt, wood-pulp, lumber and other articles,
the prices of which may lie advanced under
the cover of the tariff, would put an end to
monopoly. The repeal of the tariff on coal,
though it might not destroy tne anthracite
combination—which is based on a monopoly
ef supply—would greatly weaken it by
cheapening the price of competitive sort
coals. But tho cotton seed, petroleum,
cattle, straw-board and other like combinn
t ions, which are aggregations protected in
come instances by patents and in others by
a monopoly of production, cannot be
reached by the simple remedy of tariff -
reduction. What is to be done with them?
It is a well-settled principle of law that
associations have no more right to inflict in
juries upon others than individuals have.
But these associations merely agree ver
bally to quit selling their products until
their price shall be offered them, precisely
as the Knights of Labor stop selling labor
until they get their price fer it. The
“trusts,” ilo not hesitate to undersell trouble
some competitors or to overbid them for
necessary raw material—thus making
themselves if successful the only wholesale
buyers and the only wholesale sellers of the
commodities they deal in. After having
established themselves by breaking down
competition, they make the consumer pay
the expense of the experiment and such
further charge as they think the business
will bear.
It is impossible to punish these combina
tions as conspiracies without such invasion
of private right as would, perhaps, consti
tute an equivalent or a greater evil. It is
evident, however, that there must be de
vised a system of State regulation to meet
anew danger with new remedies. Possibly
rascalities of this nature may be repressed
by taxation. If the “trusts” be not con
spiracies there should be such publicity of
these “understandings among gentlemen” as
to enable the public to take proper measures
for self-protection. If we are to be robbed
under the forms of law, we are at least en
titled to know who our robbers are and the
methods of their operation.
