7 12 THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 28, 1896. JANIES D, PHELAN ~ ROUNDLY SCORED A"L-He Is Declared to Be an ~ Egotist Without an : Equal. "Patrick J. Reddy Ridicules His Claims as a Candi- date. .HIS AUDIENCE WAS AMUSED. g ’j‘hls Occurred at a Large Meeting of Citizens Called to Oppose the New Charter. . An anti-charter meeting was held at . Union Hall, on Howard street, last even- " ing. There were three speakers—Patrick J. Reddy, Joseph 1. Dimond and ex-Judge J. F. Sullivan. The principal speech of the evening was made by Mr. Reddy, who - waxed sarcastic at the expense of James .-D. Phelan, and the aundience laughed - heartily at the points he made. Mr. Reddy spoke of Mr. Phelan’s readi- " ness to take office under the charter, bad as it is, as an indication of a fevered understanding and immaturity. He ridi- culed the idea that Phelan would be able to accomplish more than his many prede- cessors in the office of Mayor, and said that as an egotist he has no equal. Phelan must be 8 most wonderful man if he can accomplish what he believes . he can. -*‘Phelan said that he will reform the system of taxation,” said Mr. Reddy. “Perhaps he will do that in one particular. He may putin his own prop- erty for taxation at its full cash value.” " Mr. Reddy also said that Mr. Phelan would not help the poor men by reducing taxation, for that reduced revenue arnd * would reduce employment. J. 8, Bannerman called the meeting to - order and made a few preliminary re- marks complimentry to Joseph L. Dimond. He incidenially made a hit at James D. . Phelan, saying that in this contest for the - mayoralty “wealth has made itself felt.” A .list of vice-vresidents was read, alter | swhich Patrick J. Reddy was introduced. Mr. Reddy said that in a few days the people would be called upon to choose be- tween the existing government and an : entirely new form of government which is * proposed by the new charter. The peo- - .ple would ask themselves whether they - ‘conld notlive under the consolidation act until a hoard of freeholders could be found . who would be competent to frame . a charter which would be properly pre- ‘pared. There was no doubt that it was possible to live under the consolidation " act for a time. -* -“At the head and front of the pro-char- * ‘ter forces stands Mr. Phelan. He looks * well notwithstandicg the hideousness of this act under which we live, and the Mer- chants’ Association of this City, so far as “they are represented in this association, ,have all done well under that consolida- - "tion act. *‘They continued to do wel! until by the - narrow-minded policy and the moral cow- ardice that has stamped their advocacy of . the proposea new charter they became in- . competent to mind their own business. They have stood and allowed themselves “, 10 be trampled under foot by the raiiroads . without a protest, and now they try tolay the blame upon the consolidation ac:. ‘Whetever there is of want o! prosperity . in this community lies at the door of tha blame upon the laws. ation act is not to -sibly aid these men, because, like the new charter, they will bave to be amended before they can be successful.” The speaker was here interrupted by the entrance of a Democratic club with a brass band, at the close of which Joseph L Dimond stepped on_the stage amid three . cheers proposed by Mr. Reddy. * “Bad as this consolidation act is de- clared to be,”’ continued the speaker, ‘““we find that Mr. Phelan is perfectly willing to take office underit. [Laughter.] *It 18 said that it has been so confounded and so confused by amendments that no . one can tell what powers public officers * have. Then no one should undertake the task. [Applause.] “But it is said the only reason Mr. *Phelsn has to -sacrifice himself for this public. office is under the consolidation act, he can do something for this City which has never been done by any man before him. This seems to me to be the result of a fevered imagination—the zeal of youth that usually accompanies a man who is inex- perienced. [Laughter and avplause.] ““What be will or can do under this con- “ solidation act he bas forgotten to explain. He has the most convenient way of for- getting things of any young gentlemen I ever saw. [Uproarious laughter.] How- ever, despite all this, he 1s going to wipe out all the luster of the great names which I.am about to read to you.” [Mr. . Reddy read off a list of the Mayors of the * City from Kalloch to Sutro.] +This young man,” he continued, “is to come in and do things under this consoli- . dation act which none of these great chiefs were able to accomplish. [Laughter and applause.] This is & most wenderful young man. Asan egotist I do not know anybody that excels him—no, that even comes within a mile or two of him. Heis simply out of sight. [Uproarionsapplause, mingled with laughter and cries of ‘give it to him.’] “Mr. Phelan says that he will be able to and will inaugurate a system of reform in taxation. That is a fine promise and by putting in his own property at its full cash value he will be able to do it. [Wild cheering.] “‘He says that he will reduce taxation. I have no doubt that he will be perfectly willing to do that, and so are nearly all the men who possess vast property. [Ap- plause.] That is what the corporations are trying to do now.” (Bannerman here arose and proposea three cheers for Di- mond, given with a will, while the band struck' up ‘“See, the Conquering Hero Comes.”) “Now, Mr. Phelan says that he is going to reduce taxation. In other words, the revenue which will go into the City’s treasury will be greatly reduced. Thereby he is going to help his friends, the labor- ine men, out of their troubles. “Now, how does that strike you? Will he not reduce the chances of the laboring men for employment? Unquestionably. “How many are there of the laboring “men that rely upon their hands for a liv- ing in this City who are burdened by taxa- tion? You will not find one in a thousand who-has $5000. It seems to me that help- ing the poor man is out of the question in this case. That is merely sie point Where Mr. Phelan is going %2 serve ihe eople and Mr. Phelan at the same time. FApplnuse.] . “Now, hesays he is going to make public improvements. Evidentiy he expects to improve more rapidly than he has hereto- fore. Bat, L say, how can he, if he is going to cramp the public reverue? Under such a parsimonious administration he would bave no chance 1o make public improvementsof any kind, no matter how ggod his willi His will seems as un- + bounded as bis wealth. “If there is a tax vpon property, the that he thinks, even | money which pours into the City’s coffers will be drawn out for the benefit of the poor man. Stop that revenue and you will stop the pay of the poor man. [Ap- plause.] “‘What interest has the poor man in this particular piece of business tbat Mr. Phelan proposes? What interest has he, Who, after paying his bills and furnishing his family, has to walk to his work on Mon- day morning because he has not a 5-cent piece to pay his fare. “It must be conceded that under this consolidation act which has been attacked by the pro-chiarter men—it must be ad- mitted, I say—that a grana City has been established here under its provisions; that it is as prosperous outside of the par- ticulars I have named as any city that can be found in the United States; that its officers, who have been elected by the people_of this community, have been generally men of honor and integrity. I speak of no particular man now. But from the beginning to the end I have been informed that only two in the his- tory of this City have defaulted, and their defalcations were made good. “Men who are attempting to publish to the world that this is the most corrupt city in the United States are simply libeling the City and its government. “These men say you must lay all this aside because there has been some corrup- tion. You must give up your elective franchise and place all the elective nower in the hands of one man. 1leave you to judge for yourselves. “[f amendments have destroyed the original consolidation act what will be- come of this sickly little charter which needs the aid of a doctor before it was adopted? The consolidation act enabled the people to take part in public affairs and to elect officers to administer their affairs. It was proposed to -place the power in the hands of one man. That had been tried in Chicago. The. first Mayor of Chicago under that plan was honest. The second Mayor was assassi- nated. The next Mayor went into office a poor man and emerged worth $1,500,000. It would not do to listen to the siren song which is sung that under the proposed new charter San Francisco could, be sure that it wounld always have a good Mayor.”’ Mr. Reddy continued that the consoli- dation act kept the teacher in the public schools in office during good behavior. An editorial in the Examiner showed that while that paper might know something about Hanna, itdid not know anything about the school law of this State. He had been assailed by the Examiner. He | was sure that his record was as firm as that of the Examiner. | were as fully grounded. He was not | speeay enough to keep up with the lightning changes of the Examiner. He was sure that he was justitied as fully in taking retainers in law cases as the Ex- aminer was to derive revenues from massage advertisements and others of a similar character. The Examiner should shut up shop on the school question or hire a lawyer. It should learn the difference between con- | tracts made with a board of trustees and eachers hired by a Board of Education. 'he changes in the proposed charter were | devised to make a sweep and to put the | power practically in the bands of the Mayor. The Examiner’s statement that the teachers would be out of employment next June 30 1f the new charter should not be approved wouid not scare the teachers into support of the charter. | ,_The charter embraced the 1dea of cen- | tralization, the creation of a greater boss | than ever was known by placing all the | patronage of the City in his hands. He would be the boss of all the bosses and | they would have to truckle to him. Louis XIV was accustomed to-say, “Iam the state.” TUnder this proposed charter the Mayor of San Francisco could say, “‘I am the City.” If he should bea man | without conscience he could so handle | the patronage as to hold on in office in- | definitely. The charter would supersede the general law,and the schools, which | bave their foundation under the general “ law, would therefore go out as an entirety. | The charter provided for a complete sys- | tem of schools of its own. There could | not be a dnual system. Under the charter all the school officers from the Superin- tendent down would be wiped out. What was the use of saying that the teachers | would be protected bv laws which the | charter would wipe out? The system of | schools provided for in the charter is | totally unlike the one provided for under | the general laws. The provision that no | one should teach in the public -schools | who was not educated in the public schools | of San Francisco was a measure devised by the Az P. A. The plan was to put out | all the Catholic teachers. | Some confusion arose at this point. | { There were cries of “Dimond,” which made it difficult for Mr. Reddy to pro- | ceed. Chairman Bannerman came to the front of the stage and cailed the audience to order and read them a little lecture, “The trouble with meetings of this kind is that they will not listen to the facts. | They want Greek fire, red fire and other | pyrotechnics. I must ask you to listen to Mr. Reddy."” Mr. Reddy continued and said that the | “‘best citizens” would, he hoped, consider acts. Josepb I. Dimond spoke very briefly. He said that this was an anti-charter meeting. He had only a few remarks to make. He was strongly opposed to the charter. He wished to strongly deny that he was the tool of a boss. ile had never been bossed. He accepted the nomina- tion for Mayor on the one condition con- tamed in the oath of office only—to do his duty. He bad nodoubt that he would be elected the next Mayor of San Francisco. Ex-Juage Sullivan said that he woutd never be untrue to the blood that flowed in his veins, or to the faith that had ex- isted for nineteen hundred years. He then spoke 1n a compliimentary way of Mr. Dimond. ‘*‘Let no man come before the public and say that the Catholie priesthood is trying to regulate the votes of Catholic citizens. “Every vote cast for Mr. Phelan is a vote for the new charter. 1 wish to say {'to you, my friends and neighbors, who have known me since I was 10 years ot age, 1 noticed in the press a statement that Mr. Phelan had been named first among the number of names of those who advocated the adoption of the new char- ter. Do you want that charter adopted? [Hisses and yells of ‘No!’ and *Nit!'] I do not want it adopted. I want peo- vle of my kind respected for their worth, but if the question were entirely removed irora this municipality, and a man was | out battling, with all the powers at | his command, saying to his fellows, ‘I am for this charter, and if 1 |am elected Mayor I 'will go to Sacramento, and use my best efforts to have the Legislature vote forit—I say if you vote for that man you are voting for something that is antagonistic to all the feelings I have, at least, and to the feel- ings I think the people ot my kindred and my creed hola dear.” A WANDERING CLUB. The Latest Addition to the City Cycling Orgauizations. The latest entry to the circle of local cycling clubs is the Wanderers, which or- ganized on October 16. The membership is limited to twenty and clubrooms bave been established at Nineteenth and Guer- Te10 streets. The club is made up of enthusiastic wheelmen who don’t care to scorch, who won’t stick to wel-known roads, however good, but who like to roam from place to place whenever a reasonable good road stretches before them, caring little for place, time or distinction, and only look- ing for a new place to drive their_ wheels. For this reason they have adopted the name of “Wanderers.” The officers so far elected are T. B. Bailey, vrecident and captain; Harry Thompson, firstlieutenant; Aibert Smith, secretary and treasurer; executive com- mittee—A. Haugnton, W. Schaumieffel and H. Thompson; sergeant-at-arms, Charles Krueger. An emblem has not vet been adopted, but it has been thought that a comet would most fittingly typify the proclivi- ties of the club :nfin members. e — | VorE for Charles A. Low for Police Judge. * His principles SIG. Sig M. Bettman, member of the Legislatore from the Fortieth District and Republican candidate for re-election, was born in Olympia, Wasb., in 1860, was brought to this City as an infant and has resided here ever since. AMr. Bettman isa graduate of the Washington Grammar School. Some twenty years ago he en- tered business with his father, M. Bett- man, & pioneer of '49, on Front street, carrying on an importing business of English chemicals and lasundry supplies. On the death of his father the firm was incorporated under the firm name of M. Bettman & Co., Sig being the secretary, treasurer and general manager. The offices of the concern are at 121 Califor- nia street, with warehouses on Vermont street, near Alameda. Mr. Bettman began being a Republican long before he could vote, and has re- mained faithful to the party down to date. 2l S y 4 M. BETTMAN. He has attended every municipal and State convention since 1831 and has ai- ways given his time, money and best energies in advancing the principles of the party. Mr. Bettman was a member of the Jast Legislature, and was active in secur- ing the defeat of the bill repealing the fee bill, which saves to the taxpayers about $40,000 a year, which otherwise would have gone into the pocket of the Sheriff. He also voted for the bill granting to the Valley Railroad Company the lease of China basin, thereby giving to the people’s competing railroad an entrance into San Francisco. ¥ Mr. Bettman’s record during the session of the Legislature is marked by an honesty of purpese that distinguishes him among his fellows and which gathers about him now in his candidacy for re-election a host of friends, who are working valiantly and have already made his election sure. 10 MORE AEE FOSTED CAS Jealousy Among the Ladies Makes Trouble for the Bakers. German and American Master Breadmakers Associ- ated. OTHERS NOT IN THE UNION. Decisive Action to B: Taken at the Meeting of the Association To-Morrow. The question to be decided at to-mor- row’s meeting of the Master Bakers’ Asso- ciation is, whether the customers of the ninety-five German and American bakers in this City will raceive on Christmas eve the accustomed cake with its frosted sur- face and last rose of summer, or the frosted go-by, without either cake or rose. At a meeting of the Master Breadmakers on Monday night a resolution was adopted denouncing the maxing of Christmas presents in future. This resolution will come up for final action at to-morrow’s meeting of the association. The reason for the bringing up of the resolution at this time means that should it be adopted the customary Merry Christ- mas cake, which heretofore was presented {0 every family who patronized the in- dividual baker, will remain in the store to be sold like its fellows for cash, not good will, One of the knights of the flour bin, Nich- olas Prost, president of the Master Bak- ers’ Association, said: “I bas cost me between $400 and $500 every Christmas to give presents to my customers, and in the majority of cases general dissatisfaction follows.” No two families appreciate tneir presents alike. The cake 18 either too small or not rich enough, and the one the other got was so much better and larger than the one which came home to each. And s a con- sequence I lose customers every Christ- mas. “The best anda only way to settle the trouble is to abolish the entire custom, which I think we will do at the meeting to be held Thursday. “In this association the German and American bakers only are represented. The Italian and French bakers have an association of their own, which prohibits the iving of presents. g “Our association has had this subject under consideration for some time, but for some reason or other it was put off until now, when the approach of Christ- mas makes it ilaperative to take definite action one way or the other. If the asso- ciation should reject the resolution about to be brought up for final action it would perhaps result in leaving things just as they are. = “‘But the habit of presenting a cake to every customer is expensive to the baker and unprofitable in the end, as it makes a good deal of discontent, without pleasing those whom it was intended to make bappy and cheerful.’”” < In addition to this question of free cake the other and perhaps more important one to small and poor storekeepers is that of declining to take back the stale bread which has been left on the hands of cus- tomers. Tne meeting to-morrow will handle those two very weighty questions of ‘“:stale bread and free frosted cake.” THE DIVORCE COURTS. Seven Mismated Couples Were Sepa- rated Yesterday. Joseph Dilhan, the riding-master, was yesterday granted a divorce from Grace A. Dilhan, and so ends a case that some time ago furnished the community with a hearty laugh. The couple came here from Portland several years ago and started a fashionable riding academy on Pacific avenue. Sub- sequently Dilban deserted his wife and went to live at the home of a friend. Mrs. | Dilhan then sued the harborer of her spouse for $10,000 damages for alienating his affections, Since that time the Jady has reconsid- ered the matter and recently she went East and forgot to enlighten Mr. Dilhan as to her destination. He hasin conse- quence secured a decree of divorce. Judge Sanderson granted Mabel Val Poole a divorce from A. Laurice Val Foole on the ground of failure to provide. Sarab L. Moore was divorced from Frank P. Moore by Judge Hunt because of the defendant’s infidelity. Willful neglect was the cause of the di- vorce Judge Hunt granted Hattie B. Meighan from Thomas P, Meighan. Abigail Maxwell was ireed from Wyman Maxwell by Judge Seawell on the ground of desertion. A Judge Daingerfield granted Annie Wal- cott a divorce from Eugene W-Walcott be- cause of the latter’s desértion. ———— *Mme. Nordica. The manager of Mme. Lillian Nordica has been in town for the past few days trying to arrange a date for the great prima donna. On account of the expense attached to bringing the artiste here none of the musical or other societies have cared to take hold of the matter until they could see their way clear. Itis proposed to open a subscription list at Sher- man, Clay & Co.’s for the next iwo days, and if enough subscriptions are made the artiste will come. LESSON OF A BUSY LIFE T. B. Valentine, the Pioneer Printer, Passes to His Rest. He Attributed His Marked Success in Life to His A'tention to Busi- ness and Economy. Thomas B. Valentine, the well-known capitalist, prominent as the founder and president of the printing firm known as the Francis-Valentine Company, died in his apartments at the Baldwin Hotel at 7:30 A. M. yesterday of cauncer of the stomach, with which he has been suffering for several years. Unaware of the nature of the dread disease which was slowly sapping away his life until afew days ago, he found it necessary to submit to an operation per- formed by Dr. Tayior. P It was seen that his case was hopeless from the start, and soon after the opera- tion he became unconscious, remaining so | but which no one can be sure will reach with ‘the exception of one Lour's con- sciousness Monday evening, wben he again relapsed 1nto acomatose state and sank rapiaiy till the hour of his death. At his deathbed were present: Mrs. Valentine, his wife; S. D. Valentine, his brother; General and Mrs. N. T. James, Mr. and Mrs. H. H. Noble and Dr. Taylor. Deceased was numbered among the pioneers, as' he came to California in 1851 He was born in New York and was65 years old. On his arrival in California he branched forth1n the real estate line, the venture being attended with uniform success. About this time he is said to have secured the rights to a Mexican land grant of many thousaud acres, Petaluma now stands upon this tract. In the litigation following the' pressing of his claims he established his ownership so fully that the Government was obliged 1o issue him cartain script empowerinz him to scttle in surveyed and unsuryeyed Government land no matter where he found it. Accordingly he located on thousands of acres of land in the State, now very valu- able. Among the vast landed interésts he left are the Corte Madera ranch, situated near San Rafael, and containing several thousana acres; the Mahonev mine on Sutter Creek and several Sacramento River islands. In 1855 he founded a printing establish- ment in 8an Francisco with Mr, Munson, under the firm name of Valentine & Mun- son. His interest was purchased in 1863 HOW 70 VOTE ON THE AMENDMENTS Proposed Changes in the Constitution Are Im- portant. Number Three Is Bad and Ought to Bs Overwhelmingly Defeated. TO DECIDE W(MAN SUFFRAGE “Shall the Ladies Vote?” Is Oge of ihe Burning Qu-stions of the Campaign. \ The proposed amendments to the State constitution have received but little atten- tion from the newspapers and platform speakers during the present campaign, for the reason that the interest of the people has been more thoroughly aroused in re- gard to the success or defeat of National and municipal nominees. Changes in the fundamental law of the commonwealth are necessarily of impor- tance to the people, and a brief review of the alterations sugeested is opportune at the present moment. The proposed amendment designated as amendment No. 1 in the official procla- mation issued by Governor Budd and Sec- retary of State Brown relates to the ex- emption of mortgages from taxation. This is a subject that received a great deal of attention in the convention tbhat framed the new State constitution. The majority of that body decided that the tax on mort- ages must be paid by the mortgagee. The proposition before the people is to undo that part of the convention’s work, and this has caused considerable discus- sion. Those who faver the amendment con- tend that the change would benefit the borrowers of the State. They argue that under all circumstances the vorrower must uitimately and in fact pay the tax on the mortgage, for the 'reason that the lender protects himself against loss on: account of his expenditure for the tax by increasing the rate of in- terest. To substantiate this position, at- tention is called to the fact that the aver- age rate of interest advanced throughout the State after the adoption of the State constitution in 1879. Opponents of the proposed amendment, whiie admitting that there was a slight advance of the rate of interest after the adoption of the new constitution, assert that the time that has since elapsed has equalized and minimized the rats of in- terest that lenders are willing to accept, so that borrowers now bear no burdens that fay possibly be shifted to other shoulders; that the lender now pays the tax on the mortgage, and that if Lhis rejuirement be abnnsoned the borrower will still be com- Felled to pay the tax on his property at east for the fuil amount of the mortgage, and will have no assistance from ihe mortgagee in theshape of the mortgage tax as ai vresent. Amendment No. 2 proposes to provide for the use of votin mlcgines if satisfac- tory apparatus be oéered and provided by the constituted aathorities. Several in- ventions intended to secure this end have been patented, and some of them are said to have beep successfully operated. Amendment No. 3 is intended to limit the liability of stockholders in incorpo- rated companies. The language ot the amendment 1s as follows: The liability of stockholders of corporations or joint-stock associations shall be limited by the face value of the shares of the subscribed capital stock or shares of such corporation or association; and whenever any shares have been fully paid up the holder of such shares shall not be further liable to such corporation or assnciation, or the creditors thereof, on that account. Each stockholder of a corporation or joint-stock association, whose capital stock is not fully paid up, sbail be individually and personally liable 1or such proportion of all its debts and liabilities contracied or incurred during the time he was a stockholder or share- holder, as the amount unpaid upon the stock orshares owned by him bears to the whole amount unpaid upon the subscribed capital stock or shares of the corporation or associa- tion. The directors or trustees of corporations and joint-stock associations shall be jointly and severally liable to the creditors and stock- hol iers for all moneys embezzled or misap- propriated by the officers of such corporation or joini-stock association during the term of office of such director or trustee. This is so important and is fraught with so much danger to the general public that it is published in full. 1t 1s not considered that making the directors or trustees responsible would protect the = public against the organizers of frandulent cor- porations. It would be possible to put up | dummy directors or trustees, behind which wealtly but anscrupulous stock- holders might hide and escape financial responsibility with even greater safety thaa under the present law. Amendment No. 4is intended to give i:ome rule to San Francisco and will be supported by all who are not in favor of goiug to the Legislature for general laws that are intended to apply to this City, the necessities of this community. Amendment 6 is simply to enforce the female suffrage issue, in favor of whicn THE CALL has already spoken with so much force, Those who believe that the vallot should be given to the women will vote for this amendment. The only pro- posed change from the present Igw is the omission of the word “‘male,” in defining the qualifications of electors in this State. The issues thus placed before the people are already outlined and are easily under- stood. Voters who wish to vote intelli- gently on the questions presented will be able to comprehend the entire situation by five minutes’ study of the amendments taken in connection with this article. BEATEN WITH A REVOLVER Officer Cochrane of the Prevention of Cruelty to AnimalsSociety Arrested. R. J. Cochrane, an officer attached to the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, was arrested last night on the charge of assauit with a deadly weapon. Cochrane lives in Hayes Valley, where he used to be a special officer, and one of his neighbors is P. Hennessy. Monday Cochrane had Hennessy and his wife ar- rested for disturbing the peace and the case was called in Judge Campbell’s court yesl;rd-y morning and continued for a week. Last night Cochrane and Hennessy had by D. B. Francis. 8. D. Valentine was then a partner, and, on his brother selling out his interest, the name of the firm was changed to Francis & Valentine. This was further metamorphosed into the Fraucis-Valentine Company when the firm was incorporated about one year ago, and deceased was elected president. The issuance of that script to Valentine rendered his fame world wide. A portion | tains irom ten to twenty yards of the fin- of it was sold to speculators, one of them | est and softest muslin. creating a sensation about a year ago by Jocating on property in Chicago worth millions of aollars. The claim being con- tested is still in litigation. Valentine was mariied twice, but leaves a widow without children, He was very industrious and economical. He used to say that no man counld hope for success in life otherwise. Arrangements for the funeral are now being made, and a private interment will be had at Cypress Lawn Cemetery on Thursaay. some words and Cochrane struck him over the head with a big Colt’s revolver, knock- ing him down. Cochrane was arrested by Policeman Dugan and Hennessy was taken to the Receiving Hospital, where - three lacerated wounds in his scalp were stitched and dressed.
