The plaintiff owns the Irish- Ameri mining claim in Nevada County, Cal, and the defendant worked its lode under the surface of the lrish- American claim.

The only way the city can benefit, they say, is by a thorough shake-up in the department and an entire new manage- ment of its affairs. In opposition to this conservative ele- ment there is an entirely d:fferent class, to whom the Gunst-Lees row means a general good time. Like the others, they argue that a Gunst victory means a ‘‘wide- open” town, and even if Lees manages to continue in office things will not be so bad. These people, it is needless to say, are the ones who would like to see | gambling games of every description con- ducted openly, or at least with no danger of interference. They argue that gam- bling always puts plenty of money in cir- culation, and tbat a *‘liberal’”” town is invariably the most prosperous. A number of interviews are published herewith, sbowing the interest manifested | 1n the matter. To each was pnt the ques- | tion: *'In your opinion should cambiing in San Francisco be wide open ?” | Capiain Meyer, of Meyer, Wilson & Co., | importers: *‘There should be no gambling | i at all in San Francisco, and there are enough law= on the siatute-books now to stop 1t if they were only enforced. Gam- | bling can do a city no good, while the evils | are many.” Byron Diggins, contractor: “I do not 1 believe in a ‘wiie open’ city. it may not be possible to entirely suppress gambling, | but it certainly shoula not be permitted to spread to any greater extent than ex- ists now | Rev. F. 8 Ford: “Every effort of the | poiice should be exerted totke total sup- pression of the evil. A city cannot pros- per where gambling is openly counte- | nanced.” | Rev. C. E. Locke: ‘‘Most certainly Ido | not believe in permitting gambling. either | openly or under cover. Every form of the | evil should ve suppressea.’” Thomas M. Ferguson, saloon ma “Wherever gamtling is carried on there is always money in circulation. But I do not say that [ am in favor ot what gam- blers would call a wide-open town. I be- lieve 1hat gambling should be legalized— licensed. Everytody gambles in one way or another. Even life itself is more or less a gamble, and I beiieve thaias long as the race lasts gambling will be one of its v.ces.” . Tom E. McDonald, saloon and sporting man: “Naturally, I am in favor of Y wide-open town. 1 believe a ‘closed town is always a dull town. Allow cam- bling in a legitimate way in San Fran- cisco and it will be ihe most prosperous town 1n the world, for the reason that those who win money at games of chance spend it like princes.” John Herget (Young Mitchell): *I be- lieve that gambline in a restricted form is a benefit to the town. Iwould not change the present conditions. Gambling goes on now in a limited way and the police are alert to see that nothing wroug is carried out. California bas always had the reputation of being a liberal State ang 1 believe it has been of advantage to us. Tom Shaw of the Bouquet saloon: I am in favor of an open lown so iar as gambling isconcerned. I believe it would improve business. It would bring money from the interior. If a man does not want to gamble he is not required to. 1 do not gamtle myself. but I have no ob- | jection to others gambling.” Jesse Marks, saloon man: “I do not gamble myself and, of course, 1 am not comp-tent to pass an opiniou upon the question.”” County Clerk Curry: “Iam opposed to gamtling on general principles because I believe that more young men have been ruined by this vice than by all the others put together. Siill the poor man has as much right to his game of poker as the rich. I am opposed, however, to any proposition to run the town ‘wide open.’ "’ Alex Truman: “Ihave been in this town for thirty-five years, and have seen it wide open and closed, as they say, and 1 never thought that gambling made it prosperous. Only those who ‘draw’ down are prosperous. Itisnot to the in- terest of the people to havegambling in their midst.

After two vocal selections Father Yorke stepped to the front of the stage to receive an ovation from the large crowd. After a short introductory preface | Father Yorke explained the object of the Catbolic Truth Society, which was to spread the truth concerning the Catholic courch. “We Catholics believe we have tne truth,” said the speaker. “‘We believe we have those teacbings which God deemed best forthe instruction of mankind.

We care not from what | source it comes; truth is as welcome from the Pretestant as from the Catholic. All we want is the truth and all we want is | that our non-Catholic brethren should ex- amine what we have to say. We do not expect to make them ali Catholics by our crusade. That work belongs solely to him who holds in his hands the near:s of men that are being made to effect the release of Louis Sternberg, who was convicted and sént toStates Prison for election frauds. He bas prepared the foliowing petition to the Governor, and copies await sig- natures in his cffice: Say FRANCISCO, Oct. 18, 1897. Hon. James H. Budd, Governor: We, the undersigned citizeus of San Franciseo, re- spectfully petition you 10 refuse to act in the matter of the application of Louis Sternberg, a convict in the Folsom Penitentary, The State Pricon Commission, to whom the appli- cation was referred, in their report state that he wasregularly convicted of a crime agaiost the election laws of this city and county; that he is guilty; that his punishment is not ex- cessive; and, in fact, that there is no good reason why in this case the Executive should act. The mere question of good behavior in prison should not, we hold, influence your judgment in a matter of this kind; nor should a pardon or commutatior of sentence be granted where & crime of such a character is visited with so light a penaity s in the case of Sternberg. Crimes against the ballot-box are the most serious daneers to our political system. The people put up with bad laws made by State and municipal legislative bodies. They restrain themselves even when they most disapprove of the acts of ministerial and judicial officers, because they believe their remedy is ia the batlot-box. When there is added to the suspected corruption of legisiative bodies and other brancaes of the govern- ment & corrupt ballot-box, then the American system is destroyed and the only alternative remedy is revolution. The ballot-box must be kept pure, and any man who offends against itshould be punished in an exemplary maaner snd should be deprived of all his evil rights. In fact, the penalty cannot be too severe, considering the momentous conse- quences which are involved. We therefore earnestly petition you to take no aetion in this matter, 50 that the case of Sternberg may be a warning to all those endeavoring to secure his release, anc to all others who by fraud and corruption preventa free expres- sion of the popular will. There1s no middle ground. A free ballot and an honest count must be secured to the people, otherwise the government itself cannot survive. | making the law applicable to the next crop whicn follows its promulgation; or if this be hecessary for bumanity, and which is able to satisfy all the needs of humanity. ‘‘Perhups one of the most salient feat- ures of the organized effort lo spread Catbolic truth, known as the Catnholic Truth Society, is that it is an organiza- tion of the laity. In Catholic theology the task of preaching the Gospel was laid upon the apostles, and by the apostles given to their successors. Bt. Paul su; up the teaching of the church in the per- tinent queries: ‘How shatl they call on bim in whora they have not believed? Or how sball they bejieve him of whom they have not heard? And how shall they hear without s vreacher? And how shall they preach unless they be sent?’ Therefore the Bishops, as the successors nd sweetly disposes all things as he wills. We have bui one obj-ct and thatis to bring men to see realities, not ghosts. We wish them to see with their eyes, and to hear with their ears, and to handle with their hands, ard 1o say if we are the traitors, the sots, the scoundrels, the ignoramuses, tbat the great Protestant iradition repre- sents us 10 be. “We ask them to give the Catholic | church the American privilege of fair | play and to hear the side of the sccused | before passing judgment.

Morton and J. Tokin, contractors, 421 S8an Bruno avenue, drove to the City Hall to transact some business with the Board of Supervisors. They leit their horse and buggy on Larkin street, and something frightened the animal. It dashed south on Larkin street, crossed Market, and made straipht for the furniture. store of Charles M. Plum & Co., corner of Ninth and Market. As the horse struck the stone sidewali it siipped ana fell on its haunches. The impetus was s0 great that it slid alone, and its head, neck and front feet went through the plate-glass window on the corner, smashing it in pieces and shattering the ad- joining window. The animal’s breast siruck the heavy iron railing in front of the window with such force as to bend it for about a foot. Policeman Peter Gillen wa< passing at the time and he soon extricated the horse from its uncom- fortab'e position. 1t was badiy cut on the head and neck by the sharp edges of the broken glass, Gillen took it to Dr. Westphal’s stables on Purk avenue, and it was soon afterward claimed by the owners, who will have to play Pium & Co. about §150 for dumages to the plate-glass windows. A little girl who was stand- ing on the corner at the time had a narrow escafe irom being run over and crushed by the norse, denied us. And it shail not. Falsehood | THAT LITTIE BLUE THREAD Trouble Brewing Over the Matter of Convict- Made Sacks. The Chamber of Commerce Against the Prison Direct- ors’ Action, Leaving Out the Azure Stripe Will Cause Embarrassment to | Grain Shippers. I The recent action of the Board of State Prison Directors in allowing Warden Hale to remove the blue stripe from the grain | bags made by tne convicts is likely to bring any amount of trouble to them. The apvparent purpose of this act was to | remove from the bags the mark that dis- | tinguishes the prison-made goods from | those made by free labor. This was on account of the recent action of the British Parliament in passing a law which pro- hibits tbe importation of convict-mace goods into that country, and it was feared that the customs authorities of £ngiand would draw theline on shipments of grain in sacks made by the cunvicis of Cali- fornia, As stated there may be trouble for the directors of the pri-on, because the mem- | bers of the Chamber of Commerce bave | taken the matter in hand and, judging from appearances, not in a way that is| calculated to the liking of the State offi- | cers. As soon as the Chamber of Com- merce was made aware of the new Euglish law a meeting was called by the secretary, Captain Merry, for the purpose of request- | ing the intercession of British Consul General Warburton in behalf oi the grain skippers of the coast. The result of the meeting was the sending of the following letter, which explains itself: | | Lear Sir: This chamber has been requested by iits members engaged in the wheat export trade to communicate with you relative to the Foreign Prison-made Goods (short titie) Act ot 1897, and to request your kiudiy iufluence in i its construction as applicabie to the 1897 wheat cr:gn( this coest. The California State Prison manufactures apout one-tenth of the sacks used for cereal products of this State. Prior to the promal- gation of the'mew law abuve named the sacks for this year's crops uad been aistributed into second and third hands throughout ihe State. We resproctfnlly request your powerful ald with the Briti<h cusioms authorities to per- mit these sacks entry without prejudice, The Perfume of Violets TR e et e ‘wondrous Powder. | be t |Dr. Miles’ deemed not permissible, that their use shall permitted for the crop of 1897, provided hey are msuin exported. Inasmuch as these sacks are used merely as “containers” we ure uncertain as to their prohibition under the law, but we respectiully suggest that the law cannot be reasonably enforced until ail sacks sold and used before its promulgation have been delivered with contents. From all that could be learned Eng- land’s local representative set the ma- chinery in mouon to accomplish the re- sults desired by the members of the Chamber of Commeree, and it looked as | though matters were progiessing favora- bly to that end. In the meantime, how- ever, Warden Hale and the Prison Di- rectors became alarmed ana decided upon the course indicated, that of removins the biue line in the bags, in order that they | might escape the notice of the English customs authorities. This is what has raised the muss, for the members of the Chamber of Commerce fear that this very action will bave the effect of preventing what they desired so much to accomplish. So far the Menufacturers’ and Pro- ducers’ Association has kept out of the fizht on account of a conflict of interests, While desirous of doing away with prison labor where it comes in conflict with iree labor as much as possible, the manufac- turers also realize the importance cf the grain exportindustry and they do not wish to interfere with this. In this matter the president, James W. Kerr, wishes to place himself and the association in the proper light belore ihe public, for in aa interview yesterday he sa d: I note in Sunday’s CALL that Director Fitz- gerald is quoted as having comp.ained to the grhon directors of the opposition made by the lanufaoturers’ and Producers’ Association to the taking out of the distinguishing stripe in prison-mude bags. 1 he is correctly quoted then some one is putting up “straw men” before the board. As & matter of fact the guestion has never been discussed by the Manufacturers’ and Pro- Qucers’ Associdtion. I was aware of the move of the prison_directors, but did not consider it proper to discuss ihe same ats time when aneffo.t was peing made by grain shippers 16 secure concessions from the Britieh Govern: ment. Had the prison authorities been equally discreet there would have been more likeli- hood of our grain shippers securing the de- sired concession. A Benevolent Merchant.
