All the proceedings cor- | | The Call, Supervisor Perrault submitted to the Board | responded with the steady practice under the careful supervision of Clerk Russell for twenty years. Simi- | il:u orders have stood every test that the ingenuity or the learning of the bar could invent or suggest. | For a violation of this order H. L. Jones was ar- | | rested. He demanded a jury trial. A disagreement | | occurred before Police Judge Mogan. The second | | trial was completed yesterday in Judge Treadwe]l's{ department of the Police Court, but owing to his sick- | | ness before Justice of the Peace Groezinger. Henry | | Ach, counsel for the defendants in this and in a num-" | i i { ber of similar cases pending in the same tribunal, at- tacked the order upon the ground that the minutes | of the Board of Supervisors, in which the proceedings | from its introduction up to and including its passage | C.GEORGEKROGNESS,‘AdverfisIngnenreaenutlv-. | were recorded, were defective in four particulars: | BRANCH OFFICES—527 Montgomery street, corner Clay, open untll 9:30 o'clock. 387 Hayes street, open until 9:30 o'clock. 621 McAllister street, open until 9:30 c'clock. 615 Larkin street, open until 9:30 o'clock, 1841 Mission street, open until 10 o'clock. 2291 Market street, corner Sixteenth, open until 9 o'clock. 251§ Mission street, open untll street, open until until 9:30 9 o'clock. 106 Eleventh 9 o'clock. 1505 Polk street, open o'clock.

After refusing to allow Prosecuting Attorney Car- | penter time to prepare an answer to the argument and ' the citations of Mr. Ach, Justice of the Peace Groez- inger directed the jury to acquit, on the astonishing ground that the informalities alleged for the defense rendered the order unconstitutional. His exact lan- | guage ought to be preserved: “I am satisfied that the order was unconstitutional, |as it was not properly passed.

The next section requires every rider of a bicycle on a public street or highway to keep I the pedals, thus making scorching | or coasti roughfares a misdemeanor. The third section denies the right of bicycles to the side- | s, and the fourth condemns the practice of carry- pon them children under the age of 10 years. h section directs all bicycles to keep to the The two last sections are the most important, se one of them for a violation of any of the pro- order affixes the penalty of a fine not ynment in the County Jail for a period not beyond six months, either or both, and the other specifically charges the Chief of Police with the duty of enforcing the order. There is not one of these essential municipal regu- iations that is not violated day by day and night by night in full view of the police on the streets and in the parks of San Francisco. The modern centaurs re more reckless and more dangerous than their antetypes. Many of them seem to imagine that they constitute a kind of aristocracy, with machinery sub- stituted for their legs, and that they can run down any unfortunate man, woman or child with impunity. Many serious consequences of this recklessness have eady been observed, and the bicycle accidents are antly increasing, simply because, in this respect A right. bec: exceeding $500 or of impri co as in a great many others, the law is not enforced. . . { few wholesome examples would be a service to the community. The business of manufacturing and selling bicycles has become very extensive in the United States, and several corporations and houses with large capital which control this branch of trade are reaping large profits and exerting an illegitimate influence in munic- ipalities, not only in preventing the enactment of proper laws but in obstructing the administration of such law as there is. In San Francisco, as we under- stand the fact, there was an effort made by a resolu- tion offered in the Board of Supervisors to compel all iders of bicycles at night to carry warning lamps, but under pressure it was defeated or failed to pass. This is an illustration of the difficulty of securing just mu- nicipal legislation. The virtual suspension of the ex- isting order proves that either through inertness or for some other cause such law as there is has not been | effec We ca applied upon the Chief of Police to do his duty as it is expressed in section 6, and upon the Board of | Supervisors to require the use of lamps by the noc- turnal army of centaurs, and to sugh other amendments and additions to the order as will practi- cally secure the public safety and prove that in this municipality human beings are of as much importance as the trade in mechanicaf contrivances. oo e s e make The report that an early cessation of the war in the Philippines will be followed by a call for an extra session of Congress is calculated to put the people of this country in a wavering state of mind. There are moments when most persons would prefer a contin- uance of the war. If any further proof of the prosperity of the country were needed than is supplied by the trade reports it could be found in the number of strikes that are now raging. The workman in nearly every line of industry seems to have waxed fat enough to kick, and is do- ing it. —_— 1f the Czar of Russia intends to continue to enforce his law sentencing lepers to exile he had better buy an island somewhere to send them to, or Uncle Sam might retaliate some day by sending anarchists into exile to Russia furnished with passports and pocket pistols. —_— There is hardly anything in the findings of the court of inquiry concerning the army supplies that is likely to be in good odor with the people. The report itself is suggestive of something that has been embalmed when it should have been buried.

The -efficiency and the detailed exactitude of Mr. | | Russell have been household words in San Francisco | for a quarter of a century. If order 174 was void, then the presumption is that our municipal legislation for that period is also “unconstitutional.”” But the touts, the gamblers, the combined parasites ot the racetrack who have sucked the blood of the community and generated crime, immorality and ruin to an unbear- able degree can derive no encouragement from this bsurd decision. It possesses no authority and it will inspire both popular and professional contempt.

This is only on¢ authorit But there are many |and later pertinent cases which it is not within the | province of a newspaper to collate. We will venture to predict that by any court which is competent to de- | clare the law the charge of Justice of the Peace Groez- inger would be regarded as a compound of the gro- tesque absurdity and puerile dogmatism of the Bunsby | tribunal and Mr. Justice Dogber. The power of the Board of Supervisors to prohibit the illegitimate practices at Ingleside and in the pool- | |rooms cannot be successfully questioned. If the pres- | ent order were void it could be readily and it would be promptly re-enacted. The crusade for decency will proceed with unabated vigor in spite of the wholesale dismissals that Judge Groezinger contemplates to- day, and it will certainly I history was « would officer. succeed | | THE BEEF INQUIRY FINDINGS. | HILE the great majority of patriotic Ameri-j ! W ans would be glad to be able to accept the re- | | port of the beef inquiry court as final on the | subject, comparatively few of them will do so. Even those who have not closely followed the testimony in the case will find in the report itself sufficient cause for dissatis The court finds that none of the charges made against the beef furnished by the packers were sus- tained, and says: ‘“The meat purchased for the army was the meat of commerce; both kinds—refrigerated |and canned—were such as are well known in both action with its conclusions. i hemispheres as commercial articles, of which there is | | and has been a very large consumption, not only by | | the trade generally but by the United States navy and | by the armies and navies of rope. | the unfitness or unsuitability of the beef sent from the | United States were forwarded to the War Department [ by any general or officer serving in Cuba or Porto | Rico while operations were in progress, nor were any such reports received until more than a month after ods in inspecting the beef and the delivery to the sub- sistence department, the deterioration of the meat in shipment was due to the fault of no one.” From that passage in the report it would seem the | commission had no fault to find with any one except j General Miles, who made the charges, and the officers | who sustained him. Nevertheless it is said in another | passage, “in some instances some individuals failed to ‘,perform the full measure of duty,” and it is added: | “The court can but characterize the action of the com- | missary general as unwarranted and reckless in that | he ordered the purchase of such enormous quantities ini a food that was practically untried and unknown, | and the court so finds.” | Thus in the selisame report we have the contra- | dictory findings; first, that the meat was of a kind | having a large consumption, not only by the trade | generally but by the Unrited States navy and by the | armies and navies of Europe, and, second, that the i food was of a kind practically untried and unknown. iTherc may be some way of reconciling the two find | ings, but it looks on the face as if the first were made ‘[i'\ order to lay a foundation for censuring Miles and the second for the purpose of justifying the censure of Eagan. tractors, as it is said of them not only that their beef was put up without any kind of chemical preservatives | at all, but that “the large purchases for the use of the | military forces were made not at the solicitation of the packers or in consequence of efforts put forth by them 1lo sell their goods, but upon the initiative of the com- missary general.” ' Fimally the court makes something like a general | are gradually defining the rights of labor combina- | tions, and are removing by judicial decision the invol- | protect a scale of wages for its members, provide a | political parties be denounced by the law and for- No reports of | hostilities had passed.

It finds “that against none of the officers commanding corps, divisions, brigades and regiments and their staff officers should a charge of guilty be brought.” It finds, notwithstanding his “unwarranted and reckless” purchase of beef, “no ground for impu- tation of any other actuating motive on the part of the commissary general than an earnest desire to pro- cure the best possible food for the troops.” Thus the only man remaining under the ban is General Miles, and even in his case it is recommended that “further proceedings be not taken.” Such a report will not be satisfactory to any con- siderable class of the American people. It closes the inquiry from an official point of view, but it does not relieve the War Department from the charges of Miles, nor will it lead public opinion to regard Gen- eral Miles as deserving of the censure put upon him. GENERAL MERRIAM ON UNIONS. THE acts of lawlessness in the Coeur d'Alene mines are about to be vigorously and properly punished. They have long been indulged in under cover of a miners’ union, which seems to have been controlled by a few violent and law-defying men. The civil authorities have either closed their eyes to the situation or have winked at it without making any attempt to protect the lawful rights of persons and property. The district being now under martial law and the violent and guilty men being in custody, the whole country will applaud the Federal and State authorities, civil and military, in their determination to eradicate the law-breaking element and teach it a lesson which will admonish any who attempt to imi- tate its policy. | The situation there, however, has seemed to inspire General Merriam to utter an unjustifiable generaliza- tion. He is quoted as denouncing labor unions as criminal and declaring that they should be forbidden by law and membership in them be made a statutory crime. This outline of a policy toward labor unions will not receive the indorsement of the American people and will rouse opposition to certain general public policies recently originated and still under discussion. | The labor unions which have originated violence and defiance of the law are few in number compared to the total list of such unions in this country.

I was a member of the crew of the U. S. S. Baltimore and although we saw caples of “all papers,” which had been sent privately to fr!erlds by rela- tives of friends (and all papers were one month old), the only San l-rnnciscolgr other city paper published in the United States which came in num’bers to JustI Y a general distribution of the same was the San Francisco Call. We entered Ma- nila harbor on May 1, 1868, and I was there until February 17 following. At one time the boys aboard our vessel contemplated sending you an arknowledgmenll of your favor to us, and many cheers were given for The Call, but owing, in all probability, to a call to other duties we had neglected to do so. However, would kindly state that one only has to experience a visit to a for- elgn country under same conditions to appreciate the receipt of news from home, and through the courtesy of The Call we had papers in hundlgs of S.\lm- clent numbers to insure a general distribution among the boys. The Call was re- ceived in bundles on our ship of 200 or 300. 1 can thank you sincerely in behalf of the Baltimore crew and myself per- sonally for your favor. W. E.

When a union exercises further powers | and claims the right to prevent the employment of any man who will not join it it is claiming a right | which it can enforce only by unlawful acts. Because these unlawful acts may issue from a labor union is no reason for denouncing the act and fact of union as a crime. General Merriam's proposition is another added to many recent evidences that the country should not look to professional soldiers for a civil policy. All governments, in the last analysis, rest on force, but | the need for its exercise is lessened in proportion as | the people are left free. | To assume, off hand, that all labor unions are crim- | inal would at once produce a disturbance which would | disorder the industries of the country and probably | cause a protest in such form as would greatly embar- | rass the Government. The principle of the policy rec- ommended by Merriam would be far reaching. There is scarcely an organization or union of men combined | upon any purpose that may not fall under his sweep- ing declaration. Political parties are organizations,} combinations and unions of men which are recognized by law, and in their operation arise cases that are judicable. That parties commit crimes in precisely | the same sense in which labor unions commit them is unquestioned. The officers elected to administer government peculate and destroy the public property and therein offend against the whole body of the peo- ple. Because a Democratic School Board and a Re- | publican Treasurer in San Francisco and a Populist | deputy clerk in Sacramento or a Treasurer of the | same party elsewhere were guilty of embezzlement or waste, therefore shall the combination of men in | bidden as a crime? l What is needed in Idaho and elsewhere is a rigid | enforcement of the civil law and the prompt punish- | ment of those who break it. If it is in the power of the | State authorities in Idaho to enforce the law now, i has always been in their power to do so. When thei miners committed murder with Springfield rifles | which they had stolen from a State armory they were | guilty of two offenses of the highest order, and the | State had ample power to punish them. The immu- | nity they enjoyed by reason oi this inaction of the | officers of the law encouraged the greater crimes com- | mitted since.
