It appears that the Turk idea of ex- ecuting reforms is to massacre the reform- €rs, Chicago is too much of an earthquake center to be a safe place for a National Convention. There is very little profit in having a Golden Gate so long as any monopoly has a padlock on San Francisco must move up to the front of the fight for the National Conven- tion and stay there. F form orators in New York have begun er to Tammany Hall as the “Fourth- to avenue Tunnel Mail seems to be less inter- ested 1 carrying goods from San Francisco than in carrying our trade away. erican credit abroad depends on ntaining the Monroe doctrine as well as on keeping up the gold reserve. Just about one more week remains for the muss of the fall campaigns and then comes the Republican clean sweep. Since the Turks seem to be so eager for a fight, it is 2 poor policy in Burope not to let the Russians accommodate them. Senator Hill's trip to Ohio was short, but it was plenty long for the result to ow wheth e is a mascot or a hoodoo. It is time for Corbett and Fitzsimmons to move their show along and give another Governor a chance to distinguish bhimself. Kentucky Democracy will have to stick to Bourbon this fall as there is very little nce for it to get intoxicated with vic- There is a belief in New York that while Warner Miller is a2 candidate for Hill’s s 1 the Senate Mr. Platt will probably get it. There will be more honor for Governor Culberson of Texas in punishing one set of Iynchers than in stopping forty prize- hts. Dockery will not only force the fight a t the milk adulterators, but he will see that they do not take water with any suce The Washington correspondent who started the report about the vigorous for- eign policy may now take the cake as the boss faker., In subscribing $200 to the convention fund, the Fresno Ezpositor has made a lead that proves its fitness for leadership beyond all dispute. The republic of Colombia having prom- ised to help Venezuela, perhaps Cleveland may pluck up a little courage and stand in with the rest of America. The reappearance of the old bobtail horsecars on Montgomery street is enough to make the water come up even to the eyes of the property-owners. The only question about Inspector Dock- ery in the public mind is where we can get more officials like him for otker depart- ments of the city government. ‘What is the use of sending out the news that Miss Vanderbilt is to have forty-five pairs of shoes in her trousseau when the poor girl is only half sold as yet? By the fierce and lurid light of the Ohio campaign it has been discovered that Sena- tor Brice goes about accompanied by a valet who curls the Senator’s hair. Itisquoted asa proof that bosses have to work hard that since the Ohio cam- paign opened Senator Brice has written over 12,000 letters to his constituents. The proposal of the Western Passengex Association to limit the giving of railway passes may be important to some people, but the general public don’t care a cent. With the Pacific Mail cinch on her ocean commerce and the Southern Pacific cinch on the land, San Francisco is certainly in a position where she must strike out with both hands The increase of the National debt under the Cleveland administration may be put down as a debt contracted by the Govern- ment in making war aga ast the industries of its own people. With more than 1000 men and 500 ‘eams employed in railway construction in the San Joaquin, the people of Stockton real- ize already that the force of competing hines makes business move, As the Eastern earthquake shock reached from Missouri to Virginia and from Michi- gan to Georgia, it may not have been a big thing in any one place, but it cer- tainly knew how to spréad itself. Abont the only reason why the Manu- facturers’ Associationand the Traffic Asso- ciation cannot walk hand in hand just now is that they need all the hands they bave to fight the common enemy. The report that the drought around Tuget Sound has been so severe that at several points the signal stations bave bad to buy water is decidedly curious, and promises a new evolution of the webfoot. | THE DURRANT OASE. \ | It will be with a feeling of relief that the | public reads this morning that the Dur- rant case is ended. The long trial is past, the suspense is over. After a full hearing of all the evidence, with able arguments on { both sides, an impartial jury of honorable, | inzelligent men, acting under the solemn | responsibility of their oaths, returned the | verdict whieh vindicates the law and main- talns the majesty of inviolate justice. | It is in the highest degree gratifying | that even when shocked almost to mad- iness by the fearful crimes committed in | Emmanuel Church the people of our City | made no attempt at lynching the accused, but relying with confidence upon the pro- | cesses of law, trusted the courts to see that the criminal was brought to punish- ment. It is gratifying, too, that this con- fidence has not been betrayed. The accused has been given every opportunity to ex- plain away the network of evidence against | him; he has had eminent and eloguent | lawyers to plead his case, but they have inot availed to dereat the law or to wrong justice. His guilt has been proven be- vond a reasonable doubt to the minds of twelve men of more than ordinary char- acter and intellectual clearness, and the death penalty which the law prescribes for his crime awaits him. TuE CaALL can review the course it has pursued in reporting the case with full s action. It has aimed to be in all things relating to the trial absolutely im- vartial. It did not assume the guilt of the accused. It made no attempt to form a factitious public sentiment against him. It sought no sensations from day to day for the purpose of continuing a mosbid in- terest in the crime. Itinvented no fakes of any kind in connection with any part of the proceedings. It held always to the straight, clear course of reporting the truth, the { whole truth and nothing but the truth, | and has now the satisfaction of seeing the truth justified in the courts. Another trial is vet .to come, for there remains the death of Minnie Williams to be accounted for. In that trial, however, the suspense in the public mind will be as nothing to that which is passed. For the present at any rate there is re- lief. Our courts have shown an ability to deal out retribution to the wrongdoer. The law has proven its capacity to crush the criminal. Justice is exalted and no one hereafter can mock at the manner in which California affords protection for the innocent but metes out puuishment to the guilty. THE STATE AROUSED. While it might have been expected of Fresno, Visalia and the other communi- ties north of Tehachapi that they would respond promptly to a call for aid in the fight that San Francisco is making to bring the Republican National Convention to San - Francisco, it is gratifying beyond measure to observe that Los Angeles is coming so handsomely to the front. This is the most convincing proof that the peo- ple there meant what they said when they assured the Half-million Club of San Francisco that they would always do whatever might lie in their power to ad- vance the general interests of the State. This means the death of injurious section- | alism in the State. | The San Joaguin Valley had already shown its spirit in its substantial recep- tion of the San Joaquin Valley Railroad. Hence there was no surprise when itslead- ing towns and cities begzan to subscribe to the convention fund. It will next be in order to expect encouraging news from the middle interior and the Sacramento Valley. One of the most pleasing features of the fight is the liberality of the press through- ont the State. As a matter of fact the | newspapers, so far, have exhibited a broader spirit of enterprise and have sub- scribed more generously in proportion to their means than the other elements of the community. This is something new. A reasonable view of their case would create the impression that they do suffi- cient for the public good as the persistent advocates and leaders of progress. In going far beyond this by seiting an ex- ample of generosity of subscriptions to this fund, they are enhancing their power, increasing the popular respect for their value as leaders and inspiring the laggards to activity. It is dufficult to conquer the old silurian spirit of the State at a dash. It was over- thrown and banished from Southern Cali- fornia years ago, but 1t still rides tri- umphant in those sections which have not felt the impulse lent by contact with progressive settlers from the East. The energy which is stirring San Francisco in- dicates that silurianism is-tottering to its fall, but its croaking is still heard and its hand still clutches its purse. With sneers and doubts it is working with all the open- ness it dare adopt to keep California in the mire. Happily its voice.is drowned in the sounds of enthusiasm with which the good fight proceeds. The meeting last night, having formu- lated a most excellent plan of campaign, material results of a gratifying kind may be at once expected. But the organization of working committees will in no sense relieve the individual members of the community of responsibility. Every one can do something on his own account and so make the victory the more overwhelm- ing. HEAVILY HANDICAPPED. The disclosures made by the Manu- facturers’ and Producers’ Association con- cerning the methods pursued by the Pacitic | Mail Steamship Company in handling the | traflic between San Francisco and the countries along the southern coast would be incredible had they proceeded from any other source. Gereral knowledge of the disgraceful situation was made possible by the receipt of a letter from the editor of the Spanish-American Revista, who ap- pealed to the merchants of this City for the use of their influence to abolish the existing state of things. That letter called attention to the fact that although the Spanish-American countries are anxious to buy in San Francisco they are prohib- ited to a great extent by the practice of the Pacific Mail in demanding the pre- payment at San Francisco of freight charges on articles shipped to those countries. The special hardship resides in the fact that the southern purchasers gemerally have to send to San Francisco before they can learn what the charges would be, ana then have to remit the charges before the articles can be shipped. It seems that in the cases of some regular purchasers they keep a fund on deposit with a restricted number of commission merchants in this City to be used in prepaying freight charges. Buteven that is an unnecessary hardship and must operate to the restric- tion of trade, besides virtually limiting the number of men here entering into business relations with southern buyers. Evidently this practice is followed by the steamship company because it saves the trouble of collecting at the southern end and avoids the risk of any failure to pay charges on delivery. By thus hampering traffic the company undoubtedly loses vastly more than it would if it followed established business methods, but as a course having a similar effect has been in- variably the policy of the Southern Pacific Company, virtually owned by the same persons, there will be no surprise at this covery. ‘The practically universal rule in ship- ping is to collect at the place of delivery, the safe assumption being that the article is of greater value than the charge -made for shipping it and that the forwarding company is therefore secured for its charges. 1i these are not paid the univer- sal custom and law are that it may sell the article and deduct its charges from the pro- ceeds. No other rules and principles can be followed without entailing a serious hampering of trade. Tt is difficult to see what relief the mer- chants and producers of California and the consumers of the southern coantries can possibly secure, unless their intelligent co- operation will lead to the establishment, possibly with the help of outside capital, of an opposition line. The tield seems to be the most promising in the world. NON-RESIDENT OWNERS. A contributor whom the Livermore Herald designates “a lady of property, whose example is as good s her precept,” has published in that paper a highly in- structive article on the evils of the non- resident ownership of lands in the Liver- more Valley. It is a condition not con- fined to that choice part of the State, and by reason of its prevalence it has become a serions problem to those who are working for the advancement of California. Expressed in a few words, the evils men- tioned by the contributor are these: The non-resident owner bought the proverty as a speculation and with no idea of de- veloping it. Heis content if the tenant can make a bare living under every dis- advantage of inadequate accommodations, and can pay a rental sufiicient to cover taxes. He dependson the enerzy of the resident owners in the vicinity to increase the value of his property by developing their own holdings and inducing immi- gration. As a consequence his tenants must live in poor houses, bave no fences, windmills or fruit trees, and can make only the meagerest living. Consequently, asarule only tenantsof an inferior class take the properties. Thus the efforts of the resident owners to improve the con- dition of their community are greatly crippled. No remedy for thisevil is suggested, and under the laws which govern the re- lation of the local government to property it would not be easy to find one. It must be sufficient for the present to know that the evil exists, thatit is working great harm to the State, and that it must be ap- proached with remedial measures sooner or later, The situation happens to afford a strong argument with the sinegle-taxers to adopt their method. Certainly non- resident ownership is the basis of monop- oly in land, and speculation is one of its elements. It is not likely that discrimina- tion in methods of taxation between resi- dent and non-resident owners could be de- vised that would stand the test of constitu- tional guarantees, but constitutions are susceptible of amendment. “THE SUNDAY CALL” The special features of THE Suxpay CaLL of to-morrow will provide something of interest for every reader and cover a wide variety of topics both entertaining and instructive. “In Old Amador,” by Joaquin Miller, gives a picturesque and poetic description of one of the most romantic sections of the State and one of the counties that may be expected to profit most by the coming revival of California mdustries. “Revolution in Nevada,” a character- istic sketch by Sam Davis, is an interest- ing account of one of the most peculiar episodes in the history of the silver State. “Heads Peter’s Claim,” by Charles Mich- elson, is a story of Western life full of vigor and incident. W. C. Morrow dis- cusses entertainingly “What I Would Do for San Francisco Were I a Politician.” Katherine Durham tells something of | books and papers, ancient and modern, and several other writers make valuable contributions to the literary features of the number. The regular departments of the Sunday paper, including book reviews, the drama, random notes, society gossip, fashions for men and women, childhood’s realm, etc., are as usual well filled with matters of current interest pertaining to these various subjects, In addition there is a well-selected miscellany of science, art, travel, and in fact something of note on almost every topic that engages the atten- tion of the world. OUR TELEGRAPHIC SERVICE. It should not be overlooked that the San Francisco CArLLis particularly notable for its telegraphic news service, which is the same as that enjoyed by the leading dailies of New York, Boston and other great Eastern cities. No morning paper in Ban Francisco except THE CALL gets The United Press dispatches, and no mat- ter what other paper you may read, there- fore, you must take THE CaLL in order to get all the news of the world.

His calcium lights are only his sidelights in the way of comments which give his own conception of the motives of the characters in the play. The actor tries to present the characters to the eve.

The text looms up and there is noth- ing to detract the mind from 1t. It shines out more vividly then when a play is presented on the stage by en ordinary company. Not more, however, than with a great company such as Irving's.” COURTS AND JURIES. Philadelphia Ledger. On the trial, followed by acquittal, yester- day, of Bouchet, the “cream pufi’” man, on the charge of killing in eelt-defense a drunken sailor who had assaulted him, Judge Arnold told the jury that the old rule is obsolete that aman who is attacked must retreat to the wall before attempting to defend himself. He said that & person is under no obligation to submit 10 & beating lest he should harm his assailant, and that he may oppose force for force and advance in his own defense. Judge Arnold is noted for his common-sense s a jurist, and his latest deliverance will be accepted by sensible people as reasonable, right and proper. The gld rule gave too much latitude to swaggering ullies. Philadelphia Times. Our jury system has gradually degenerated until, as the Supreme Court recently said, it has at times brought the administration of justice “into public contempt and dishonor.” It has rendered property unsafo as the prey of the idler, the vicious and the shyster; it has offered imrmnunity to crime by the protec- tion that could be given to it in the_ jury-box; it has organized under the very shadow ot the altar of justice combinations for the suborna- tion of pérjury, and it has made seli-respecting witnesses ~withhold testimony rather than be exposed to cri m and often to insult. Chicago Times-Herald. When the decision of the Supreme Court of Illinois aflirms “the Judge is not the court carrying the judicial function around wher- ever he goes” it is obviously imaccurate. The constitution clothes the Judge with powers that adbere to him so lang as he is legally in judicial office, aud those powers as defined and limited by law go with him wherever he goes. Should he attempt to dislocate from their proper place still other judicial powers, whose exercise must be in the Gpen forum or in cham- bers and in the presence of witnesses, he is liable to impeachment, as provided by law.

He Was High Minded and Earnest, Liberal and Ever Cour- teous. In the assembly room of the Girls’ High School yesterday afternoon the leading educators of the State met to express their sorrow at the death of their beloved and highly honored colleague, the late Andrew J. Moulder. The hall was decorated with flowers profusely and most artistically. Tall ferns, bamboo palms and chrysanthe- mum were placed around the platform, the branches of the cypress, symbol of immortality, being conspicuous. The por- trait of Mr. Moulder stood near the roa- trum draped with smlax and clusters of pansies. The committee of arrangements for the memorial services was: A. Lyser, J. 0O'Connor, M. Babcock, James Denman, A. L. Mann, Mrs. Mary Pray, Miss Ruth Campbell, Miss M. J. Donnelly and Miss A. M. Manning. The ceremonies were opened by the present Superintendent of Schools, Madi- son Babcock. “It was thought,” he said in part, “that every teacher in the schools of this City should meet at such a time as this and pay proper respect and honor to the memory of our late trusted, esteemed and beloved friend and superior, Andrew J, Moulder. It comes to few people in the great schools of San Francisco to find such a man and such a friend as he. Inmy few short months of duty with him T learned to love him and respect him as though he were my elder brother. He was as tender and gentle as a woman. He was far-sighted, high-minded and liberal. It was a part of his religion to say naught but good of everybody.” Mr. Babcock here read a letter from Mrs. Moulder expressing her thanks to the teacher body for its sympathy and words of comfort. Telegrams were read from Superintendent of Public Instruction 8. F. Black, Horatio Stebbin$ and M. E. Halliday expressive of their regret at their inability to attend the ceremonies. Miss Gertrude Calahin read on behalf of the teachers the following memorial reso- lutions: The Ruler of the Universe has called from his work on earth our Superintendent, asso- ciate, friend, Andrew Jackson Moulder. In memory of those rare qualities of mind and heart which during his long life endeared bim to all_with whom he came in contact, the teachers of the public schoolsof San Francisco, his co-workers in the cause of education, meet to-day to give this expression of their respect and to extend to his bereaved ones the offering of a heartfelt sympathy. For on us the name and form and daily life of Andrew J. Moulder have left an impress not transient, but, like the immortal flame of his own true spirit, destined to influence countless generations yet to be. Not alone because of his services rendered in the educational world, as an_organizer of the ublic school system oi California, as an able Superintendent of Schools of thi& City, not by reason of long and faithful service rendered to higher education in the University of Cali- fornia and the State Normal School, do we now meet to honor his memory. These labors, in- valuable as they are, are not to be compared to the influences radiated from his noble, strong, chivalrous manhood. It is these per- sonal qualities that make the name of Andrew J. Moulder an examplé—e type of the true American character. May his wife and children remember in their loss that the grateful memories of the thou- sand teachers mingle with their sorrow, and may this knowledge serve to bring sweet fruit- age of hope and resignation. By the committee—Albert Lyser, Joseph O'Connor, A. L. Manu, Madison Babcock, James Denman, Agnes M. Manning, Mary Pray, Ruth Campbell, Mary J. Donnelly. J. M. Campbell spoke eloquent words of praise of the late Mr. Moulder as ex-State Superintendent. He said: *Next Monday will mark the fortieth anniversary of the election of Andrew J. Moulder to the office of State Superintendent of Public Instruc- tion. He was the third person in regular order who has filled that oftice and the one who filled it for the longest period—six years. He entered upon his duties well equipped by education and natural execu- tive ability, and was inspired by a high ambition. He wrought vigorously and faithfully during his ‘oug term as a pioneer in the furtherance of a broad and compre- hensive scheme of free public education for California. “He stands conspicuously forth with the Durants, Willeys, Kelloggs, Braytons and Swetts. 'He bent all his energies laying broad and deep the only safe foundation upon which a free State may rest—the widest possible opportunities for high in- telligence among all the people. ‘“‘His works as State Superintendent live after him and will always remain a splen- did monument to his memory. He left an example most valuable in these days of vulgar self-assertion, of ageressive, self- conscious young America. ‘‘His life was gentle and the elements so mixed in him that “Nature might stand up ana say to all the world ‘This was aman.’” “Andrew J. Moulder in His Relation to the State University” was the subject of a eulogistic address by President Kellogg of Berkeley. He said in part: “Mr. Moulder took up the idea of founding a State educational institution in the early days with great earnestness and zest. He was ever in favor of the education of the daughtersas well asthe sons. In 1868 he be- came honorary regent of the college and his colleagues were E. Tompkins, Governor F. F. Low, Sam Butterworth and others. It is high praise for Mr. Moulder to say he co-operated with these broad-minded men zealously. As secretary of the Board of Regents he was most valuable. He was highly instrumental in effectineg a free tuition in the 1institution, and the first year of his services had not been closed be- fore young women were given equal ad- vantages with young men. I could speak of his incessant activity while secretary of the board, of weeks and months of laborin the State Legislature for the nassage of the endowment fund. Mr. Moulder was land agent for some time, showing his great executive ability. Isitnot praise enough for one man that he has been connected with the State schools for so long a period ? We can feel that here was a life complete. He has done for this State what 1t should never forget.” Joseph O’Connor spoke of Mr. Moulder as City Superintendent of Schools. “A simple recital of his services will be enough praise,” said he. ‘“His record is public property.” Mr. O'Connor then enumerated the mnn{ high public offices held by Mr. Moulder, and dwelt long and glowingly on the high qualities of his departed friend. On behalf of the Board of Education Director G. A. Murdock said: “I come to a;f:ea!z no empty words of eulogy, but words of sincere regrec and respect. We admire one man for his power of intellect, another for his conscientious labors, another for his ability to direct and execute, but when all these qualities are combined in one man we admire him as we admired Andrew J. Moulder.” Mrs. Mary Pray delivered a beautiful eulogium entitied “Mr. Moulder as the Teachers’ Friend.” Mrs. Ruth Campbell of the Broadway Grammar moved that a committee be formed to have painted in oil a portrait of Mr. Moulder, to be placed in the educa- tion rooms of the new City Hall. The fol- lowing committee was formed of one member from each of the schools, Mrs. Campbell to act as chairman: Mrs. Thomfi!on, Girls' High; Mrs. Pray, Polytechnic High; Mr. Simmons, Lowell High; Mr. Fredericks, Agassiz; Miss Keating, Bernal Heights; Miss aswell, Broadway; Miss Crocker, Buena Vista; Miss O'Laughlin, Columbla; Miss Palloway, Crocker; Miss Earl, Clemens; Mrs. Freeman, Cleveland; Miss Boukofosky, Durant; Miss Turpy, Douglas; Miss Smith, Denman; -Miss Iflfi, Emerson; Mrs. Moore, Everett; Miss Goldsmith, Fre- mont: Miss Clarsen, Franklin; Miss Nolan, Fairmount; Miss Reinstein, Garfield; Mrs. Hare, Golden Gate; Mrs. Steele, Hearsi: Miss I Straus, Hamilton; Miss Graham, Horace Mann; ' Miss _MecElroy, Harrison; Miss Heine- berg, Humboldt; Mrs. Bonnelli, Hawthorne; Miss Parker, Irving; Miss Clark, James Lick; Miss Hodgkinson, John Swett; Miss Mur- hy, Jefferson: Mrs. McGowan, Lincoln; Miss ran, Longfellow; Miss O’Neal, Lafayette; Miss Stebbins, Le Conte; Miss Chase, Moulder; Miss Harper,’ Mi , Marshall; Miss Bartlett, ; Miss Fowler, nal Miss Campbell, Pacific avenue; Miss Peabody; Miss Earl, Pacific Helghts; Mis Croughel, Potrero; Miss Saunders, Redding Miss Goldman, Richmond; Mrs. Phelps, Rin. con; Miss Cawley, Stanford; Miss Philli South Cosmopolitan; Mrs. Dinnigan, St King; Miss Maguire, South San Francisco; Miss Coles, South End; Miss Proutin, Whi Miss Morse, Webster; Mr. McCarty, W ton; Mrs, Jones, Lincoln Evening; Washington Evening; Mr, Leland, Miss Castlehun, Horace Mann Evening: Miss Lezynsky, Commercial Evening; Mrs. Setboldt, North Cosmopolitan; Miss Hirley, § Mrs. Teylor, Spring Valley; Scott; Miss Hagerty, Monroe; Mrs. dan; Miss Casey, uguna Honda.
