AKE RUDOLPH seems to have peculiar QJ privileges in this community and to take ad- vantage of them so freely as to make a closed season necessary. Even if he has the right to shoot people at will he has abused it and it should be cur- tailed. The boon of living and being inclosed in an | unperforated skin is all the people ask. They have | no desire to rob Jake of any legitimate joy. Let him stir up strife with the Spanish and then shoot them: or let him shoot Apaches or shoot himself; shoot anything, in fact, which cumbers the earth, and there will be no complaint. But the persons he has selected as targets thus far have not been such that their removal would win encomiums for him. | In fact, he has acted much like a man who needed hanging. It is an irritating circumstance that as | soon as Jake has shot a citizen he becomes insane and is sent to a safe asylum. This irritation is aug- mented by the reappearance of the patient as soon as he has grown tired of constraint, always loaded for | citizens and ready to go through the insanity routine again. As a plain matter of fact Rudolph belongs either in a jail or the incurable ward of a retreat for dangerous lunatics. His next attempt at murder should be | made his last, and if it happen to be successful neg- | lect to send him promptly to the gallows would be a | crime. THE SUPREME COURT. —HE report that Chief Justice Beatty of the Su- ’] preme Court has been compelled to take a trip | out of the State for the benefit of his health and | that Justice Van Fleet is ill and unable to discharge | Dis duties brings up again the old question of how to | reorganize the principal appellate tribunal of this State so that the lawyers who accept its duties and | responsibilities may escape certain destruction. It is stated that there are now nearly 300 cases un- der ad ment before the court. None of the Judges have received their salaries since August, 1897. The constitution provides that they cannot draw their pay when a case has been submitted to them and left un- decided for ninety days. Fairly interpreted this | means that when the court becomes crowded with business its members must overwork themselves or starve to death. In order to facilitate the decision of cases the court has been compelled to cut off arguments in all ap- peals except those involving probate and criminal questions. This is a partial denial of justice, for with- out argument ‘the rights of many litigants may be jeopardized. “Yet it appears that if the court does not Jimit argument its members will never again get a dollar of salary. Laymen may say that the remedy for all this is to elect younger men for Judges. But if younger men are elected the court is deprived of the wisdom and conservatism which comes with age. Young men may be able to work more hours per day than old men, but it is a notorious fact that voung lawyers do not know as much as old ones. Beyond all question the State should provide in- termediate appellate courts and relieve the Supreme Judges of about half of the business which now over- whelms them. Unless this is done the character of our principal appellate court is certain in time to de- teriorate. First-class lawyers will not accept the salaries that are now paid and perform the work, even if they are young, strong and able to withstand the strain. Three District Courts of Appeal at Sacramento, San Francisco and Los Angeles would cost no more than the present appellate system with seven Supreme Judges and five Court Commissioners. If three such courts were created half of the cases which now go to the Supreme Court could be concluded in them, thus simplifying and reducing the work of reviewing actions at law, meting out justice promptly, and, what is more important than all, changing the Supreme Court from a treadmill in which Judges are killed by overwork into a tribunal for the consideration and careful decision of great questions of constitutional and statute law. e r—————— The water company of Los Angeles may be hesitat- ing about filing an inventory of its property be- cause of a delicacy as to including in it the Council- ~men acquired by purchase. However, this is mere speculation, Perhaps the company is governed solely by its natural inclination to be a hog. SREFEALY There can be no great fault found with the French- man who killed himself while under the delusion that lie was Esterhazy. For a gentleman to entertain a sincere belief of this distressing character and do less than commit suicide would have been strange. The gentleman who is engaged in an effort to transmute base metal into yvellow will hardly succeed. WAR AND FINANCE. HE constant risk of war, that is imminent as Tlong as the disturbance in Cuba continues, re- veals the need of doing something besides build- ing ships and making powler and great guns. In these days money makes war. We found that out in our civil struggle. Trade is now reviving in this country and business men are lulled by a sense of se- curity that makes them indifferent to our financial situation. There is a large sum in the Federal treasury, and the redemption reserse against the demand obliga- tions outstanding against the Government is higher than ever before. But a declaratio - of ~-ar would im- mediately start the present ‘icn of those obligations and the run on the treasury would empty it in ten days, These demand obligations are th leit over, and unfunded, from the Civil W r, and tl.ose created by legislation more or less related thereto. The Gov- ernment is strongest that has out the least volume of | obligations due on demand. In '"is sense our Gov- ernment is weak. Its power to p-epare for war and | to maintain successfully a martial enterprise is im- paired by its financial condition. The Banking and Currency Committee of the House will, it is believed, report a bill during the present session that will be | the beginning of reform in this particular. It will go further than that by supplying adequate banking fa- cilities, under proper official rer*raint, to the West and South, with the result of more nearly equalizing the loan fund and the rates of interest. This avoid the congestion of money in the financial cen- ters and will give to every business man the oppor- tunity to cheaply and conveniently use his credit. The present national banking system has been out- grown by the country. It is no longer the merchant and manufacturer only who need to use short credit. | The cotton, sugar, rice and tobacco planter of the South and the farmer and stock-raiser of the West should have banking facilities for the short credits they need in their business as well. Under the pres- ent system the loan fund is brought within their reach by the mortgage and trust companies, and their credit is available only on mortgage security. This begets the tendency to over-borrow at high in- terest and long time. The “war scare” has been decried as damaging, but this is not so. It has served to call the country’s zttention to the pressing need of financial reform as well as of better armament, fortificarion and prepara- tion for the carnage of actual war. The people who see the need of financial legislation should hasten to urge their Representatives and Senators in Congress to not let this session go by without at least propos- ing a plan for such reform upon which the country can rally in the elections of this year. T ———— THE FIGHT FOR PURE FOOD. i object is to procure the speedy enactment of laws which will protect the American people from the frauds and rascalities practiced in the adulteration of articles of food. That such a convention has not assembled before is not because one was not needed. As a matter of OR the first time in our history there has as sembled at Washington a convention made up fact a general movement of the American people in | the direction of enacting pure food laws should have been made long ago. The evil is not one of recent origin, though it was never before of such magnitude as now. For years there have been complaints more | or less strong of the injury done to consumers and to the producers of pure foods by unscrupulous adul- terators, and in the aggregate the facts proven by the complainants have amply shown the need of na- tional legislation to remedy the wrong. The producers of California are perhaps more uni- | versally interested in the work of the congress than those of any other State. Almost all forms of Cali- fornia produce ‘are subject to the competition of adulterated imitations. Our wheat flour has to com- pete with flour mixed with corn starch, our olive oil | is confronted in the market with oil made from cot- ton seed and labeled with brands that represent those | of Italy, while our fruit products are opposed by an almost innumerable array of adulterations varying from harmless mixtures to compounds that are posi- tively dangerous. The injury done by food adulterators is a double one. The consumer is cheated by having something of an inferior or pernicious quality palmed off on him under a false label, and the producer .is robbed of the market for the honest merchandise which he has to sell. Out of this double wrong there result two other evils. In the first place the production of pure food is discouraged by the successful competi- tion of fraudulent articles, and in the second place the value of American-made goods is injured even in the home market by reason of the sispicion cast upon them by the known existence of so many adul- terations not distinguishable by the average pur- chaser from the genuine articles. It is too much to expect that the convention now assembled at Washington will succeed in obtaining at once the much desired legislation. A long fight and a hard one must be fought out before victory in such a contest as this can be attained. The makers of adulterated food articles are many and their combi- nations strong. Moreover, they have possession of the field and are entrenched in power. All that can be hoped for at this time is a presentation of the facts to Congress and to the public and the formation of an organized association to conduct a campaign of education on the subject. The sooner a fight in all parts of the country is undertaken on the issue the sooner will the battle be won, and if the convention now in session at the national capital can start that campaign in good shape it will have deserved well of the country and all its people. Announcement is made that no European power would help Spain in case of hostilities with this country. Just what office is filled by this announce- ment is far from clear. There is a well-grounded be- lief also that there is a paucity of green cheese in the composition of the moon, yet nobody takes the trouble to herald the information daily to the world. Japan shows a tendency toward ill-humor which is hastily taken as indicating a desire to whip Spain. However, the world would not object to witnessing the attempt. It is clear that Japan must whip some- body soon, be whipped, or commit hara-kiri. (R e Ex-Judge Frick of Oakland ought not to engage | in barroom fights. The act is barren of the dignity supposed to characterize the conduct of one who has ornamented the bench. Besides, the chance of get- ting licked is worth consideration.

FRANCISCO CALL, FRIDAY, NOTHER forward step has been taken by The Call in its work of furnishing the most complete and promptest newspaper service the Pacific Ccast has ever had. An order has been given for an additional press to supplement the wark of the two now on hand in order to assure the increasing number of readers the delivery of the pa- per as swiftly as the public demand calls for. For some time past the growing circulation of The Call has placed a severe strain upon the two | presses now in use to supply the demand for copies of the paper at an early hour in all parts of Central California, including the wide area from Marysville to Fresno, which has been covered by our special | trains ever since the startling news was received of the destruction of the Maine. In addition to this | extra burden entailed by an exciting emergency, the augmented number of readers in the city and the suburbs has required an increase of press power and made the order for the new machine imperative. The new press which will soon be put in place is the latest improved and perfected work of Hoe & Co. It is known as the new condensed perfecting quadruple newspaper press, and combines all the ex- cellences and powers of the best mechanism devoted to newspaper printing. It has a capacity for print- ing, folding and pasting 48,000 copies of a newspaper an hour, and performs that rapid work with un- erring accuracy. When the new press is put in place The Call will have three quadruple perfecting presses in its service. As each of them can print, fold and paste 48,000' copies an hour, the printing capacity of the press- room of The Call will be 144,000 an hour, This will give The Call unquestionable superiority over all | Pacific Coast rivals in printing the news, and will | enable it to go to press later and get out earlier than any other paper in this city. | The new addition to the plant is another illustra- tion of the way in which the management of The Call is keeping its pledge and promise to give the Pa- cific Coast through The Call a newspaper second to | none. The paper is now equipped throughout with all the latest and best appliances for newspaper | work. Its new building, designed and erected es- | pecially for its uses, has been supplied with every- thing modern ingenuity has devised for accomplish- ing triumphs of swift and correct printing, and as its news service is the most reliable and comprehensive that can be obtained, The Call is now assured of maintaining its promise to be first and foremost in collecting the news, in printing it and in circulat- ing it. T will be remembered that about a month ago a l migration to this country passed the Senate by the | bill imposing an educational restriction upon im- ‘ | THE IMMIGRATION BILL. decisive vote of forty-five to twenty-eight. The bill went to the house in the due course of Congressional proceeding, but since then has not been heard from except indirectly. It begins to look as if the meas- ure had been shelved for this session, and that will | probably be its fate unless public opinion compels Congress to take action without further delay. The situation is the more serious because since the passage of the bill by the Senate the oppo- | nents of the measure have been incessantly active in [ ! their antagonism. Great mass meetings called to pro- ! test against the measure have been lield in New York | and Boston, and newspapers favoring that side of the | | question have been and are busy misrepresenting the | bill and as far as possible prejudicing the public mind against it. ever | MARCH 4, 189 HE Zunis just now are having one of their weird, mysterious danrces.

It is very well known that the opposition is backed by rich and politically powerful corporations.

Few persons know that a proposition from the United States to purchase Cuba was once accepted secretly by Spain, says a Washington special dispatch to the St. Louis Globe-Democrat. The Spaniard who entered into the bargain was shortly afterward assassinated for it. That is a chapter in aiplomatic history which not many know. The Secretary of State who made the offer was Hamilton Fish, who was at the head of President Grant’s first Cabinet. The time was 1869, during the former revolution. The Span- ish official who accepted the offer and lost his life for it was General Prim. Sev- eral persons now living know the facts. One of them said to-day: “A man by the name of Babcock and a Mr. Forbes were sent. to Spain by Mr. Fish as confidential agents. I have read their reports and have seen documents, | including a letter from Moret, the pres- ent Foreign Minister, in which Secretary Fish's proposition is foreshadowed. Prim had accepted the proposition, and the Government papers in Spain had received their instructions to educate the people to the idea of the sale when the assassin- ation occurred.” This secret history becomes the more interesting from the fact that a gropoal- tion to have the insurgents buy the free- dom of Cuba is being considered as the next step by the present administration. e JUDICIAL VIEW OF LITERATURE. There are arrangements for helping the industrious struggler with books. In In- dlana there are book clubs in which cer- tain members are paid to read as many books as they can and to furnish sum- maries to members of less leisure. In Hartford, Tonawanda, Lansiig and some other plices there are public condensers who for a small fee boil down a new book to a couple of type-written pages. Perhaps the easiest way of breaking through the forest is that followed suc- cessfully by Judge Nestor K. Mangles of Council Bluffs. When you ask him if he has read the latest so-and-so he replies with great dignity. “Sir, I never read a new book. believe in the sanction of time.” When you ask him about some standard work he Teplies With equal dig- *Sir, I never read anything but modern books.

WHERE ZOLA MAY GO TO LIVE. The Cherche-Midi Prison at Paris, just figuring in the Zola trial and fre- now quently mentioned in the Dreyfus affair, has its history. It will be remembered that both Dreyfus and Esterhazy were confined in it, and it has been a military prison since the early part of the present century. Buf few know that at one time it was the home of the lovely Madame Recamier, who fre- quently held receptions in the then sump- tuously decorated rooms. Every celeb- rity of the Restoration at one time or an- other did homage within its walls to the celebrated beauty. The building was erected toward the end of the seven- teenth century by the great artist and ar- chitect, Dailly, for the Countess de Verne. In the early part of the last century it became the property of the Count of Tou- louse, son of Madame de Montespan. In the time of Napoleon I the State ac- quired the place and converted it into a militaray prison. The secretary of the first court-martial held within its walls was M. Foucher, and it was to woo his daughter that Vietor Hugo, the poet, went dally to this gloomy abode. The lady was married from this very prison, and the wedding feast took place in the hall where Major Esterhazy the other day went through his trial. —_— e————— A choice present for Eastern friends, California Glace fruits, 50c.
