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. CITY GOVERNMENT. Official Proceedings of Council.
