FRANCISCO CALL, TUESDAY, DECEMBER 29, 1896. WAGES CUT T0 " PAY JUDGMENTS Streetcar Employes Declare They Must Organize for Relief. 5 Have to Dress Well and Educate Themselves on $13 a Week. Superintendent Rudolph Says There Are Plenty to B: Found at Low Wages. OAxvLAND OFFICE SAN FrANCISOO Carr,) 908 Broadway, Dec. 28. | e sudden cut in wages on F. M. £ \'s system was the leading topic of dis- cussion among streetcar men to-day. The | gerieral .opinion is that unless there be some organization the lowest wages that will be paia by the companies is not yet reached. The street-railroad companies of this v follow the peculiar practice of paying heir men every night. Superintendent Rudolph of the consoli- eddines said to-day: ““The cut from 21| to 8) cents was made on account of con- | omy. Itis the purpose of the Realty Syn- dicate to. make all its roads pay and have an income instead of a aeficit at the end of each month. The men are now work- ing eleven hoursa day, and although I do not approve of them working more than nineor ten hours a day, I will prob- ably not make any change in this respect at present. The men understand that the cut was made on account of bard times, and I heard no complaints overit. This talk of a strike being probabie is all bosh. There are plenty of men who want work and it would be absurd of the men to give up their positions.” Twenty centsan hourisabouttheaverage paid to a!l the carmen in this city. With ten-hours’ work a day ana working six If days each week the men can n $13 a week. They have to main- | ent uniformsand havea deposit | with the company as a salegnard st injuring the company’s property, and they declare tnat 22 cents should be the minimum. | Some weeks ago the Haywards Electric Road commenced a graded scale of pay, | at 19 cents and increasing | with the length of service. This is giving general satisfaction. In a book of instruc- tion ‘recently issued to the employes of | this road the remark occurs that it is | prokable that before long motormen may bave'to pass an examination, and urging them to prepare themselves for such an emergendy. Atter referring to the methods of em- ployment and wages of the various roads, one of the oldest motormen on the con- salidated roads said to-day: “We shall have to organize a carmen's union, and | then perhaps we shall be able to say | gomething ourselyes about the value of our labor. We are the poorest paid men in | dny line of business. We have to work | 2 hours 10 make enough to sunvort our | es ; we have to eat our meals under x Ities, and we have to do”very re- sponsible work. “Rudolph can say all he wants to about there being plenty of men, but the num- ber of ge suits that have been de- cided lately adversely to the corporations | have made them think. A verdict of §10,- | 000 means something, and there have been | several of that amount returned by juries lately. Itlooksto me asif we were being cutdown to pay for those verdicts. Al-| ready some of the roads have had costly experience with green hands, and I do not tbink they would care to have it re- peated.” TWELVE OLASSES OPENED. The Study of Self-Government by the Political Equality Club. ALAMEDA, CaL., Dec. 28.—The Politi- | cal Equality Club held an important meet- | ing in Foresters’ Hall this aiternoon. An outline of work was adopted for the vari- | ous precinct clubs to follow during the coming year. 1t included a comprehen- | sive study of the *Swiss Solution of American Problems,” by W. D. McCrack- | en, “Fiske's Civil Government” and| “Millg’ Subjection of Women,” in the or- | der named. The ctub will not follow its studies as a unit, but will be divided into precinct | clubs, which will meet at the homes of the chairmen of the precincts. These are Mrs, M. J. Shepherd, Miss Clara Bowen, Miss Shafer, Mrs. H. J. D. Chapman, Mrs. J. 8, Brown, Mrs. Cora C. Majors, Mrs, James | Waymire, Mrs. Nixon, Mrs. E. A. Smith, Mrs. Garlock, Mrs, Ruben Mastick and Mrs. P. B. Morgan, in their numerical order. " Once 8 week joint meetings will be heid for discussions and comparisons of ideas. Gentlemen will be invited to join these classes as well as ladies who are not members of the Political Equality Club, but who desire to become better ac- quainted with the process of law-making and government. “We are simply beginners in the study of political science,” said one of the mem- bers of the club toa CALL representaiive this ‘afternoon, “but we will study to know more of the workings of our Govern- ment. All of our members take THE CaLL, which we consider is the only »aper that was really our friend in the g:mz election.” Married Her Principal. ALAMEDA, CAv., Dec. 28.—The {riends | of Principal Charles C. Hughes of the En- cinal School and Miss Lois Estelle Fish, teacher of the sixth grade of the same school, will be surprised to learn of their marriage 0 Ban Francisco last Tuesday. Both appeared in the City Hall early that morning and drew their salary warrants, Shortly afterward they left for the City and were united in matrimony. Mr. Hughes is a graduate of Stanford University and a very popular young man. For some time he taught in the Alameda University Academy and then succeeded Mr. de Brish as pnncipnl of the Encinal School. The bride is a graduate of the State Normal School of San Jose and daughter of G. C. Fish, the mine-owner. She formerly taught in the Porter School, but was transferred to the Encinal S8chool about the time Mr, Hughes went there. Only intimate friends were informed of the affair, which leaked out to-day. The happy young people are in Mill Valley spending their honeymoon among Mr, Hughes' former friends. On their return Saturday they will reside at the bride's home, 1423 Cottage street. brick Makes an Offer. ALAMEDA, CaL, Dec. 28.—The re- moval of the Free Library to the City Hail bas called forth several uncompli- mentary remarks from Dr. Tisdale, who owns the rooms formerly occupied, in re- rard to J. G. Brick, the chairman of the oard. Last Saturday Dr. Tisdale accused Brick of desiring a nomination as mem- ber of the Board of City Trustees and as- serted that he would spend $1000 to defeat him. Mr. Brick answers the doctor to-night in an open letter, in which he says: Ii the doctor is sincere in his statement that he will spend $1000 in defeating my elec tion as City ’qu« 1 will make him the following proposition; That he deposit in the Alameda a 1 | Watson, whese wife Savings Bank the sum of $1000 to the credit | of the Alameda Free Library building fund and I will agree to refuse any nomination as City Trustee at the coming election. Iam re- spectiully yours, JOHN G. BRICK. it is either a case of put up or shut up now and Brick’s friends think the doctor bas the worst of the bargain. Itis not expected that the doctor will answer the proposition. Paralyzed and Alone. ALAMEDA, Car., Dec. 28— The para- lyzed form of Jame: C.

Board of Trade and Exchange. They All Consider the Great Suil Won, and Objzct to Any Interference. OAKLAND OFFICE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, 908 Broadway, Dec. 28, 1896, The commerce of Oakland has spoken and the water-front bill that Mr. Leavitt intended to introduce into the Legislature will never be heard from at Sacramento. This afternoon the directors of the Board of Trade and of the Merchants’ Ex- change met at the Central Bank building J. P. TAYLOR, President Board of Trade. F. K. MOTT, President City Council, Il [l [} il @. W. ARPER, Chairman. le I order a new trial; possibly by substituting the name of the State for the City, or the introduction of this bill, they might find some grounds for pleading for a new trial and obtain it. That means a delay for several years. Asit is now, the decision of the State Supreme Court on this matter will probably be final. The water-front attorneys on both sides admit that it is hardly likely that an appeal can be taken to the United States Supreme Court; if that is the case, it means the settlement of this suit within possibly a year. Of course, whichever side loses, an effort will be made by the losing side to appeal it to the United States Supreme Court; but, as say, none of the attorneys ihat are familiar with the suit Relicve or think | that tne matter can be taken there, so that the prospect of having the matter deter- mined within a year is very bright. Whichever way it goes, it finally settles it, and whichever way it goes it is better that it should be settled than to have it hang- ingz on as it has been."” President Witcher of the Merchants’ Exchange aiso spoke strongly against the bill. He was followed by President Tay- lor of the Board of Trade, Councilman Katlman, J. & Wiscow, J. H. W. Solist. Mr. Britton saw no reason why the bill should not be presented. He had seen the water front lying year after year un- improved. He was of the opinion that the Water Front Company did not care to longer hold a property which is not avail- able. It the city gets possession it cannot improve the property without fixing a very heavy tax. The' State would take care of il as a whole. A like work to that done in San Francisco would be done in this city under Btate ownership. He re- gretted that the city’s attorneys were not. present to give the legal status of the case. When asked if his views did not reflect somewhat on the city’sattorney, Mr. Brit- ton said: *'If they do, then I'll take back everything I have said.’’ After a long discussion a resolution was !‘/ < i) : F.

Great Efforts Being Made to Wipe Out a Debt. g OAKIAND, Cav, Dec. 28.—The Second Infantry Regiment of the Boys' Brigade, with headquarters in Alameda, will hold from 9 A. M. to 12 M. at the ranga of Com- pany G, Eighth Infantry, N. G. C, in Alameda. The range was secured through the kindness of Captain Simpson, who used bis influence with his company. Previous to this all partles had beep refused the use of the range. The last orders which have just been igsued staie that every man in the regi- ment will be expected to shoot. The cost of ten rounds will be 20 cents. The regi- ment will use Springfield rifles and some good scores are looked for. A gold medal will be presented to the enlisted man making the highest score, and a handsome trophy will be given to company which makes the five highest scores. These prizes will be contest~d for each year, and it is hoped that these induce- ments will improve rifle practive in the Becond Regimert. This branch has been mugeh neglected in the Boys’ Brigade. According to rezimental orders No. 10 the following have been discharced from the Boys' Brigade for various causes: Acting Steward John Campbell, Sergeant H. Lundborg, Privates D. M. Blood, E. Burley, H. Lombard, R. McFarlane, E. Phelps, E. Edwards, R. Hamlin, 8. M. Shaw, C. Winter, E. Kelley, W. E. Bpears, W. Kinslea, H. Graham. All officers shounld be present at the creditor meeting, which is to ‘be held Tuesday evening, December 29, in the Sprecke!s. building, 8an Francisco. The officers hope to wipe out the whole debt on Tuesday evening. If they succeed war dances and jubilees will be in order. Were it not for this debt the Boys' Brigade would flourish. As it is they are up-to- date and compare favorably with other cadet organizations. Days of Old Recalled. LIVERMORE, CaL.,, Dec. 28.—One of the most interesting souvenirs of the days of old is the birdseye view of Livermore taken in 1870 and now owned by I. Horton of tnis place. It isinvery good condition and is an excellent mirror of landmarks long since destroyed. The oaks and syea- mores along the Mocho, Ladd’s Hotel and the railroad wkich had just penetrated the valley stand out prominently. The old “bull pen,” where there were held many exciting encounters, stands out in bold relief. First Shipment of Coal. LIVERMORE, Car., Dec. 28.—The first carload of coal from the Jorral Hollow minés was shipped to Stockton via the San Francisco and San Joaquin Railroad Satnrday. After years of work and the expenditure of thousands upon thousands of dollars, the valley is to have heryuel from her own mines. Superintendent Littlefieid says the home market will be supplied after the first of the year. e Behanzin, the ex-King of Dahomey.who is confined in the fortress capital of Mar- tinique, spends his days stretched out on a mat smoking his pipe. He is constantly attended by three wives, its third annual shoot on New Year's day | | for the purpose of hearing Mr. Leavitt’s | explanation of his billand of expressing their opinion of it. . They heard Mr. Leavitt and they clearly and unanimously voiced their opinion. George W. Arper wes elected to preside and he at once asked Assemblyman Leavitt to explain his proposed bill. Mr, Leavitt said: I think this bill has been about as thoroughly discussed as it can be. I only wish to speak concerning my motives. During the last campaign in moving about the district I was spoken to concerning the water front. eople would tell me I ought to do something looking toward the improvement of the water front. I discussed the proposition with many people and thought I would get an open discussion on it,so I gave notice of my intention to introduce the pill. The discussion has taken place and i agreed to leave the decision to repre- | sentative merchants of this city. I want to know what you desire in the matter and I will abide by your wishes.” E. C, Sessions said it would be very un- wise at this time to do anything that would hurt the interests of the eity. “1t does not 5o much matter after all,”’ said Mr. Sessions, “who owns the water front, provided that title to it is settled for all time in some party. It will never be im- proved while the title is in doubt.” President Mott of the City Council spoke for a majority of that body. - He said: “We deprecate what has already been done in this matter. It has cost con- siderable money to place the city where it is, but we have confidence in the attor- neys and in ultimate victory. We feel certain that the suit will be won, either for the city of Oakland or ior the State, most likely for the State. What I have heard Mr, Britt say in reference to the city being unable to improve it, I don’t agree with. We certainly can improve it. *I look upon the recovery of the water front of Oakland as the main step to fu- ture progress and the prosperity of this city, As commerce demands will come, so that the water front is required, and as more needs to be improved, it can be easily done. Tuke the Adams whar! for instance. It is private property, but was improved here at some expense a short time ago, and to-day is one of the busiest portions of the city upon the water front. *It will only be a short time—perbaps a year—when we will have to construct a wharf at the foot of Jefferson street, and it can be done from year to year; a new wharf can be put up to keep pace with the demands of the commerce of the city. I think it would be rather a bard matter to get the State to do much for us. We know what jealousy there is in San Francisco in regard to other parts of the Btate ina commercial sense. They, with their great influence, could prevent and probably would prevent the State from doing much of anything for Oakland in the way of building wharves and #o forth, We know their action in the Wilmerding School. By rights that school should have come 10 this side of the bay; but it was more jealousy and great inflaence that San rancisco had that decided in ber favor. It seems to me that the suit at this time is | within probably a few weeks of decision, and while we have every hope of winning there is one chance possibly that we might lose. “The water-front attorneys think that we are almost certain to .be successful. i Now, it is an easy matter to get a court to, unanimously passed, requesting Mr. Lea- vlht not to do anything furthsr with his | bill, £ As Leavitt had promised to abide by the wishes of the merchants, the matter may now be considered as closed. FARMERS' IMERS' INSTITUTE. Practical Addresses and a Display of Yarm, Dairy and Fruit Products. LIVERMORE, CaL., Dec. 28,—The ar- rangements for the Farmers' Institute have been fully completed by F.

LIVERMORE, CAL, Dec. 28.—The farm- ers in the foothills about this place are terrorized by a gang of outlaws and are afraid to make a move for their suppres- sion, for fear that their lives will be taken as a forfeit. As a consequence the gang has grown bold and become careless in keeping the identity of members a secret, The arrest of Charles Scott on a charge of felony, it is believed, may result in some surprises. He is now confined in the town jail and will be examined Thurs- aay. The officers say they have evidence of a most incriminating character in their possession which they will present at that time, and will attempt to prove that he is the ringleader in this gang of law-break- ers. . b Bcott was arrested once before on a similar charge, but demanded a jury trial and escaped, Since the hrmlnr{n the neighvoring hills have lost property of almost every description the ing has become general that some- thing must be done and that at once. In- teresting developments and surprises are {;mkad for Thursday at Scott’s examina- on. —_———————— More pitehed battles have been fought by night than by day. on- feel- PRINCIPLES OF OUR GOVERNMENT Rev. Father York e on the Foundation of the Constitution. Its Elements Date Back as Far as the Birth of Christ. An Aonswer to the Claim That It Is Bui t on Protestant Doc- trines. ’ OAKLAND, Car, Dec. 28.—Under the auspices of the Catholic Ladies’ Aid So- ciety Rev. P. C. Yorke lectured this even- ing at the Macdonough Theater on the topic, “Was the Constitution of Our Coun- try Founded on Protestant Principles?”’ J. E. McElroy, on behalf of the ladies, introduced the lecturer to the audience and paid a high compliment to the work of the society. In referring to the lec- turer, he said: “It has been stated that the Catholics of Oakland are not in sym- pathy with some of the positions on public matters taken by Father Yorke, and I hope that you will take this oppor- tunity ot convincing him that such is not the case and that the day of victory in this henighted city is not far distant.” ‘Wher Father Yorke arose he was cheered for several minutes, and when si- lence was restored he said: *I am afraid, ladies and gentlemen, that you are acting as though you were' all lined up behind the backs of your library trustees. I have been told that the Catholics of Oakland feel cold shivers down their backs every time Father Yorke comes to this side of the bay, but 1 hardly think such isthe case. “I am very glad to speak on behalt of the Ladies’ Aid Society, and to be able to make use of the learned Professor Armes and the Rev. Dr. Wendte for charitable purposes, which 1 have no doubt is a new experience to them and a new sensation to Oakland to learn that the poor ever made anything out of them. Iam always glaa to speak for the poor, but I must confess that I feel an unhboly joy on this cccasion as i have for my subjects the learned Armes and the Rev. Wendte.” He then'referred to the controversy over the periodicals in the Free Library, and reviewed the attitude of Professor Armes toward it. Then he criticised Dr. Wendte, and in doing 80 said: *This' subject is personal with me, as you all no doubt remember last January when several Protestant clergymen were keeping me busy maintaining the dignity and position” of the Catholic church against’ their falacies, one Dr. Wendte thought that the Protestant ministry were not able to manage the case, so he threw himself into the fight, stayed for a few rounds, tolerated my bad manners and bad English, and retired gracefully. Dr. Wendte lives upon fights. Ey- ery month ~since last January he has _had one. on his hands. The next I heard of him was that he preached a sermon in which he advocated that i would be a good thing to kill off all the incurables, A little later he got into a controversy with some brother ministers about Martin Luther, and the other preachers got mad because Wendte wanted to take up too much time at their celebration and it took them a week to settle their differences, and then to make matters worse, he sent in a bill to the society which they declined to pay. Continuing the speaker said: When Dr. Wendte started his crusade two weeks ago against the Catholics he certainly proved one thing, which is, that ii he knows less about anything than he knows about the Catholic chureh it is his knowledké of the con- stitution, and yet he is striving to show that the Declaration of Independence is the flower of those principles which Luther originated, and that it was not founded on Protestant dogma, but on Protestant philosophy. He also preaches that all our rights, our social and religious systems, in fact, our clvilization, has come to us from the sixteenth century as the result of a German revolt which made mankind independent of the Pope of Rome. In truth, as every educated person knows, there is not a single stone or bean or grain of sand in the structure upon which the Declara- tion of Independence is built that does not go much farther back than thesixteenth century. The basic principle of the Declaration of Inde- pendence dates back to the Babe of Bethlehem and to the crib in the manger. I do not claim that the constitution of this country is founded upon Catholic principles. Tt is founded upon the universal principles that had their birth with the Savior. Christ did not found the church to run poli: tics; did not fo slumming; did not dance in the pulpit; did not subscribe; did notdo any of those things which characterize the evan gelical preachers of to-day. Heleft on record a saying which reads, ‘‘Render unto Cesar the things that are Cesar's, and unto the things that are God’s. It is not the province of a church to run secular affairs; it 1s not her place to dictate to the Government or the individual, but to teach the great principles of morality. The Catholic church has ever taught obedience to properly constituted power, but she does not say that Xou must cast your Government in this mold or that, but yet all her doctrines tend toward liberty. When Christ and his diaciples went forth and prociaimed in the Roman empire that they possessed somethjng over which the state bad no control then that empire huried itself against the Christian chureh, and there stood up against it fishermen, widows and orphans and proclaimed that no one had any power over them except such power came from God, and sooner than betray their consciences they suffered at the stake. Eventurlly they suc- ceeded and their religion became thatof the Roman empire. As the church went out and taught peace and laid the foundation of civilization that empire went to pieces. Then began the reign of republics. Those who say that the Cathoiic church does not ad- vocate and bring about liberty should look back fifteen hundred years and they wou'd change their minds. In the seventh century the reigning Popeogrochlmed the great doc- trine that is embodied in our constitution, that all governments derived their power from the iun consent of the governed. In_the eighth ceniury the Franks asked the Pope it zh.i had the right to depose their King. He wrote back that the Eeople were not made for the King, but the King for the people, and that those who make Kings can unmake them. St. Thomas Aquinis left on record & document in which he was asked about rebelifon; he replied that where gov- ernment is administered for private ends it is the duty of tne citizens to overthrow it and reassert their right to govern themselves. All the old scholastics held the same theory that power resides in the people and that all men are equal, and all this went on record four or five hundred years before the sixteenth cen- tury. Every right possessed by a citizen to-day comes down from those remote ages when the Catholic church dominated Europe. Without revolution the Popes of Rome won many great battles in the cause oi iiberty and right, and they had none those kingly vices which disgraced Europe after the reformation. The church was already to face kings and em- perors when the rights of the people were in- vaded. Pope after og:edhd out of Rome be- cause he would not betray his conscience or the church, and in every fight the church and the Pope were against kKings and despotism, Now we come to the rising star ‘of the reformation. Letus look at Europe at that time. Siavery had died out under the teach- ing of the Catholic church. Italy, the home of the Pope. was divided into several little re. ublics. ‘The Kings and Princes of Fran ngland, Scotland and the German states en- joyed closely Jimited powers. When the ref- ormation broke out no ruler was half as power- ful as he was (wenty years after the reforma- tion. At that time there was no labor question, and the nationalization of lands, which we 4 written et i _____] h:h!.lfl for §5.00, by ~ Children Cry for Pitcher’s Castoria. 3.

Every town had its common lands and there were no unemployed. All over Europe the great monasteries provided for the poor and sick without charge. A houses, no paupers, no siate-aided- charities. The poor were there; they are always with us, but they were not despised. They were the poor of Christ, every one our blood relanves and all equal in the sight of God. The lecturer concluded by contrasting the unsettled social conditions and the re- ligious controversies that prevail to-day, and which he attributed mainly to the ef- fect of the reformation with the condi- Martin Luther. On this argument he strove to'show that under no interpreta- tion of history can it be intelligently claimed that the counstitution of this country is founded on Protestant princi- ples.
