And all that comes 2sa final result of the so-called “great fight” against water rates is a prolonged squeal like that which comes from a pig under a fence, or a bar- rel organ out of tuae. The rascals who stole the cannon from West Point added insult to injury by sell- ing them for old metal, and 1t is to be hoped that they will soon be properly charged in court and fired into jail. As Mr. Bryan denies that heis going abroad, and as-erts he will continue to lecture in this country, it is clear he has not forgiven the people for voting against him last fall and intends to give tuem no Test. The editorof the San Joaquin Valley Reflector, a new Fresno paper, promises to remain “a plain, eveiyday citizen, wita- out getting a sweiled head,” if success should crown his efforts.

His plan is to put up u siiver man for Governor and a gold man for Senator, thus jingling both metals before the shy voter and mak. ing a trap to cateh him either coming or going. The announcement that the Fire Com- missioners expect their financial report to show a surplus at the end of the year is so gratifying and so different from the condition of other departments that iv would be a good idea to have the firemen yarade on the first of the fiscal year in honor of the event. Some Pennsylvania congregations are | getting very particular if the Philadelphia Inguirer is correct in saying that one of them recently requested a deacon to carry a cash register when taking up collections. It is gratifying to note that the deacon is reported to have resigned rather than sub- mit to the innovation, Since the fearful charity bazaar fire in Paris some women in that city have peti- tioned the authorities for permission to wear trousers when attending large gath- erings, so that th+y will not be in danger of a similardisaster, and thus the bloomer movement is advanced by everything that bappens from a fad to a fire. The people of a Kansas town have pe- titioned the Common Council to suppress as a nuisance the local brass band. The Jeader of 1he band composed a piece which he insists on playing, althotigh it bas already been the cause of thres deaths and any number of runaways.

ORIME AND THE LAW. The new phase given the Worden and Durrant case by appeals taken to the Su- preme Court of the United States will call renewed attention to those defects of our judicial system wh ch render it impossi- ble 10 bring about the speedy punisbment of convicted criminals whenever they have money or influence sufficient to make a strong and a prolonged struggle against the law.

It ereafter be impossible to execute a crim- by the State courts.

The effects of this new form of delay in our judicial proceedings will be who! an reason to fear that his punishment would sufficient manner has been weakened, and as a result there has grown up among the | people a tendency to take the law into their own hands.

In defense, therefore, of innocent men sus- of making certain the punishment of the guilty there ought to bs some speedy vision of our laws, so that the courts deal adequately with the crime of murder. Weare not a blood-thirsty people. We have no desire to rush accused persons to the gallows withouta r triai and full | time for defense. Nevertheless, it is true that by public sentiment in this country as well as by that of old Rome, “the court is condemned when the guilty are ab- solved.” GOLD-MINLRS' CONVENTION. The International Gold Mining Conven- tion, which meets in the city of Denver, Colo.,, in the second week of July, | promises to mark the commencement of a new era in the mining indnstry of the western hemisphere. No State in the Union and no part of America is more deeply interested in the work of that con- vention than our own State of California, and we are glad to note that the miners of this State will be well and abiy repre. sented at that gathering. Secretary Irwin Mahon of the Denver executive committee in a letter published | yesieraay commends THE CaArL's cham- | p onship of the miners’ cause, and declares | that this paper “strikes the rail square on the head” in stating tnat “the creation of a Department of Mininz in the Federal | Government and a Cabinet officer repre- | senting this vast interest will be vigor- ou-ly expressed in the convention, as | will also be “a revision and extension of | the Federal mining laws.”” The move- | meut inauzurated by the Miners' Conven- tion in this City has been cordially sup- ported by TnE CALL with the object of | obtaining from the General Government | the recognition which ihe importance of the mining industry demands, and will be by the favorable action of that convention. “The purposes of this convention are maniiold,” says Secretary Mahon. *Itis the initial step for a thoroughly reliuble Lnsiness campaign of education in all | branches oi mining, and coming as it does | universal man is seeking the | precious metals it is deemed especially to show what tuey can do in the produc- tion of the precious and bise metals, and atthe same time answerthe great demand now being made by ths people for reliable | information on mining topics."” There is much merit in the suggestion | of Becretary Julius Sonntaz of tne Cali fornia State Miners’ Association that not only the miners but other large local in- tives to Denver. There is a sentiment even outside of California in favor of | holding the next international convention | of miners in San Francisco, and our citi- | zens should, so far as it l'es in their power, encourage the idea, 1f the proper effort be made ther is hardly a doubt but that this City will be awarded the con- vention for 1508, AN ATTACK ON THE SPEAKER. Congressman Terry of Arkansas ran countor to the rulings of Speaker Roed at Thursday’s session of the House, with the usnal resuit. Mr. Terry was squelched; but not before he had hurled a number of abusive epithets at the gentleman in the | chair. This, | owever, was not the first| personal attack upon the Speaker since the exira session began; for several members | of the minority appear to have made it | iheir rule of aciion to assail the brainy chairman at every opportunity. hey | have bLeen squelched; but they baye | managed 1o get in their contemptible flings. Thisis “good politics,” from the Tbe members of the minority face a tower of strength in Speaker Reed. They cannot trifle with him. They cannot dis- turb his solia self-possession. Tiwe special business for which the extra session was calied has been done all too promptly to suit the minority, and its united voice howlis ot its rage whenever it can against the sage parliamentarian whose common- sense rules made it possible for the House to debate and pass the Dingley tariff bill within a reasonable space of time. Democrats take particular delight in | who is not able to go cannot enjoy alluding to Mr. Reed as “the Czar.”” They used this term frequently after he had en- forced his famous quorum rule during his first term as Speaker. They ihen d nounced Reed’s rules as unjust and op- pressive; and yet at the very next Congress, when the Democrats came into power, a Democratic Speaker found himself com- pelled to adopt Reed’s rules in order to control the House. Speaker Re:d can be depended on to reduce the cranks and howlers and mischief-makers of the House to a proper state ot subj:ction; but, as he declared when he :quelched the rebellious Jerry Simpson, ‘the Hou-e is my master; [ am ere to carry out the will of the majority.” The words uttered by Congressman Payne of New York, in defense of the Speaker, after the Terry tirade, are worthy of reproduction, as they speak plain trutu. We have sat by, day after day, and seen him insulted because we know in- sults from that side of the House could not hurt him. We saw it tried in 1890 and 1801. We saw him atiacke !, insulted and even abused with foal names, but the abuse recoiled upon its authors and the committee sustained the Speaker. Evi- entiy there are still those over there (poiniing to the Democratic side) who be- lieve that \bey can gain some notoriety or fame by huriing insults at the gentleman, whose place in the chair stops him from defending himsell.” The tactics of the minority are those of obstruction and delay, and when iis ef- forts to block the path of legislation are frustrated its leaders work up a theatricai rage, inveigh against the chair, and cry to the galleries that this is no longer a free country because the majority, represen ted by th Speaker, will not permit the minor- ity to monovnol:ze the floor and control the business of the House. When the historian of the future shall, with impartial judgment, dwell on the merits of the statesmen wno stand in the forefront of the people's fight to-dav, he will accord the meed of a deservediy great | name to Hon. Thomas B. Reed of Maine. MAKE THE TOURISTS PAY. The arrest of a Louis millionaire dry-goods merchantand his secretars at New York on a charge of attempting to smuggle a lot of jewelry into this couniry, directs attention (o an evil which has as sumed enormous proportions, and to the St. fact that a movement is now on foot to prevent fourists bringing foreign goods into the United States free of du On this subject President C. C. Shayne of the Meichants’ and Manufacturers’ Board of Trade of New York isquoted in a recent letter by Robert P. Porter, as giving some fizures which ure rather startiing. While everybody is aware that many million dol- lars’ worth of goods thus come in duty ree, itis oniy by careful stuc that we are able to realize the magnitude of this class of importation, and the de- pressing effect it must bave on merchants in this country wno are compelled to pay heavy local taxes, high rents and a higher price to manufecturers by reason of the difference in the cost of labor at home and | abroad. In the particular case of the St. Louis merchant, was shown that while te paid $25 on some dress goods for his wife, he had concealed in a belt jewelry worth §2500, for which he shoul have paid the Government some §700. The at- terney for this mill.o re states that he will prove nhis client ‘‘as innocent as a babe.”” It is not long since some of New York’s rich people imported costumes for a fancy-dress ball, and to have those cos- tumes admitted free of duty some ot those rich people were wiliing to sffirm that their foreign-made costumes w second-band wearing-apparel. “We bave figures to prove, Shayue, “that over $47,000,000 worth of goods were brought into this country duty free by tourists last year, but I am in- cinei to believe that inhe figure of $150,- 000,000 would be nearer correct.” The arzument is advanced that United S:ates Government levies customs duties for revenue, and if the importing merchantis compelled to pay these du- | ties, why, therelore, shou!d not the tour- ist be placed upon the same footing? A tariff is put on importations to give opro- tection to American industries and Ameri- can labor, and every piece of foreign goods admitted duty free lessens the amount of tiis protection. One of the principles of protection is that the duty shail be low on the necessities ot life and high on ths lux- uries; therefore, the costly gools which tourists bring with them should be made dutiable. Iu1s claimed that were the Gov ernment to collect on all the fine goods imported by tourists the same duties that merchants must pay on these zoods the | amount thus taken in would equal the amount of revenue which was expected from the income tax. It is rightly contended by the Mer- chants’ and Manufacturers’ Board of Trede that because a man is fortunate and able to go to Europe every year he ought not to enjoy a privilege which the man and when a rich man is permitted to bring in any amount of foreign products duty free he is having an advantage over his un- fortunate neighbur who cannot go. The sysiem is denounced as “unjust to the American merchant, unfair discrimina- tion against those Americans who cannot | sfford to go abroad to buy their clothirg, and an injustice to the American work- | man, who is deprived of labor by ir.” Recognizing the laxity of the existing tariff law in this respect, the Board of Trade bas petitioned the Senate to con- sider this subject in connestion with the | new tariff bili, and our National legisla- tors may be expected to so act that ex- isting conditions in this, as in a multitude of other matters, may be changed for the better.

And speaking of wrecking things, there is no one, of the gentler sex especially, who does not appreciate that most easily wrecked production of ari—ifancy chinaware.
