With what conscious- ness honesty, then, could he assert that the police force would be more accountable to the people than it had been? The Commissioners who have been chosen to carry out this conspiracy are men of whom the people have a right to expect better things. They have been known as men of high standing in the business world of good repute in social life. They are not ig- norant of the corrupt influences of public gam- bling and of the menace which exists to the com- ity in that form of vice. As the Mayor stated message, the records of the Police Department itself show that poverty, disgrace, defalcation and eath result from it. Many of the worst and black- est cases in our criminal calendar can be traced rectly to the effects of gambling. Such being the case, it is not too much to hope that men having a stzke in the community, interested in the welfare of society and desirous of retaining their respect and the esteem of their fellow-citizens, will refuse to go further in this conspiracy. It is no fault of theirs that they have been duped thus far, but if they now carry out the plot knowing what the end will be, their fauit will be grievous indeed, amounting to absolute dis- honor. In the proposed reorganization of the Police De. partment some provision certainly ought to be made for a “thieves’ dictionary.” It may be needed by visitors seeking information in the “upper office.” 300 Hayes, | 1 Federal court for contempt of its writ. January 16, at 11 o'clock, | iblers there is an affinity of purpose | JURY TRIAL FOR CONTEMPT. HE Chicago platform, which offered everything 'T from a splinter to a whole plank as a standing- place for all the financial discontent and eco- | nomic diseases of the country, declared in favor of | taking the punishment of coftempt of court out of the hands of Judges and making it the subject of a | jury trial. No one, not even the motley clad support- | ers of Mr. Bryan, was supposed to intend such a l‘prcposlerous proposition seriously. In California | some effort was made to get up a political furor on the cry, “No government by injunction,” but it | ceased after the election of 1808. The issue was de- | vised originally to flatter mobs that had been judi- lcinlly enjoined from entering upon or destroying the property of others or by violence preventing its legitimate and lawful use by its owner. Here seemed a chance to get votes by breaking down the main | safeguard of the rights of property. The injunction |is to property exactly what the habeas corpus is to the person. It is one of the most necessary writs in any condition of society that implies respect for the | rights of property. : But these considerations do not seem to impress | the demagogues who are out for office at no matter what sacrifice of the rights of property and the in- terests of the people. The issue is made fresh by the introduction into the House by Mr. Jett of Illinois of a bill which pro- | vides that all acts which are contempt of court not committed in the presence of the court shall be triable | by a jury of the vicinity in which the act is committed. | The author of this pernicious measure says that it will pass, and that Republican members of the Judi- | ciary Committee have assured him of their support, | declaring that the bill is beyond criticism. w It is difficult to believe that this is to be taken se- riously. Of necessity every violation of a permanent injunction is contempt of court, though such viola- tion can never be in the presence of the court. Therefore the injunction as a means of protecting property rights is practically abolished by Mr. Jett's bill. Take an illustration that is near at hand. After long and costly litigation the Federal court in this city issued a permanent injunction against all hy- draulic mining which imperiled navigation or which by overflow of debris or water from an obstructed channel destroyed agricultural land. We need not remind the farmers of Sutter and Yuba counties of the agony and bloody sweat they underwent in pro- curing that injunction, nor of the cost they endured in enforcing it. Many times its violators were caught in the act by their patrols and were punished by the There is no other writ, no other process known to jurisprudence, by which those valley farmers can be protected against the entire destruction of their property. Without that injunction they will be compelled to | retire before the floods that will sweep away or bury all they have. Now let us suppose that the Jett bill becomes the |law and the long toms are turned on again in the mountains, as they would be, and the slickens again slimed its way to destroy the valley lands. The im- periled farmers would of course invoke the injunc- tion. Its violators would be arrested, but the court's hands would be tied. The guilty men would have to be tried before “a jury of the vicinity where the con- tempt was committed.” Does any one doubt the re- sult? Does any one believe that under such a system that injunction would be worth the paper it is written on? Does any one believe that the acts it enjoins | and forbids would ever cease under the Jett bill un- | til the mountains were washed into the valleys? Mr. Jett is pursuing the Bryan method with his bill. He | calls judicial punishment of contempt “the use of ar- | bitrary power,” and says that his bill is opposed only by the corporation press. But we cannot believe it | possible that the people are to be fooled by such chatter. The bill is an infamous attack upon a safeguard of property of which the poor, not the rich, stand in | need. The principle it proposes to establish opens the way for robbery of those who cannot defend them- | selves. We do not go too far in saying that when it | is the law the weak or peacable property-owner can be entirely deprived of his property by the powerful and unscrupulous. It is a good bill to kill, and any party that supports it should die with it. If the newlg created commissions of this city continue to subdivide within themselves into bureau | after bureau the Civil Service Commission will be ‘iusxified in offering a reward to the lucky man who | can guess the source of municipal authority. | ————— THE FRUIT-GROWERS' CONVENTION. | ROM the convention of fruit-growers which is | [:‘m assemble in San Jose this week much is to | be expected. The delegates are to meet for a specific and well-defined purpose, that of providing a system of co-operation in marketing deciduous and dried fruits, and the results are therefore likely to be | more important than those which follow conventions whose discussions cover the whole field of horticul- ture and its products, The circumstances of the time are propitious to the efforts of those who are seeking to bring about the formation of some system of union among the grow- | ers. The controversy now going on in the south | between the growers of citrus fruits and the railroads | has a significance which the producers of deciduous | fruits can hardly overlook. In the situation which | confronts the orange-growers there is a warning for | all California orchardists too plain to be mistaken, and that warning, added to the lessons the fresh fruit and dried fruit producers have learned from their own experience in the past, will do much to induce the most conservative among them to undertake the es- | tablishment of some system of mutual protection and advantage. Fortunately there are circumstances of encourage- ment as well as of warning in the environment. The success which has been attained by the Raisin- Growers’ Union is sufficient to give something of hope to even the least sanguine. It is well known that shortly before the organization of the raisin- growers for co-operative purposes the industry was rendered almost unprofitable by reason of the com- petition among the growers and the ill-regulated method of marketing the crops. Since the beginning of co-operation the situation has been changed for the better in every respect, and the prospects justify | the expectation of greater good to come. All the economic forces of our time and country tend to the development oq the spirit and the prac- tice of co-operation. There may be some industries that can be maintained profitably along the old lines in spite of those forces; but it has now become evi- | dent that fruit-growing in California is not one of | them. Owing to the distance of our growers from | the great markets of the East and of Europe, the pro- ducer is exposed to the rapacity of the transportation companies, and afterward to the mismanagement or worse of the commission men. . The double evil cannot'be successfully combated by individual fruit-growers. It will require the united efforts of all to accomplish the full measure DAY, JANUARY 14, 1900. of desired relief and justice. For that reason the con- vention at San Jose meets to deal with a matter of im- perative urgency. The task of organizing a union among so many persons is difficult, but it is not im- possible. Fortunately fruit-growing in California is in the hands of men of wide experience and a high degree of intelligence. Many of them have been suc- cessful managers of other lines of business before they became fruit-growers. They are therefore fully equal to the work before them, and it will be their own fault if something be not done at this convention which will materially benefit not only their own in- dustry but the welfare of the State as a whole. B a—. Suit has been instituted by a local grocers’ associa- tion against a newspaper which had the temerity to publish a grocers’ blacklist. It is not unlikely that the grocers have the well wishes of a large contin- gent. There are some things that only the grocers should know. e e THE STATUS OF HAWAIL BILL is before Congress to erect a territory in Hawaii, Under our system of government, and by unbroken precedent, when the terri- torial status is reached the further advance to state- hood is made possible. Only California and Texas of the States admitted into the Union were exempted from a territorial novitiate. The modern school of expansionists holds, backed by some judicial decisions, that the constitution doss not apply to Territories, and that they may be ruled by Congress as it chooses, suspending the bill of rights and all the constitutional guarantees within them, if it so elect. The first issue presented is, Do the American peo- ple want Hawaii as a Territory and therefore a pros- pective State? The revolution occurred seven years ago. Since then there has surely been uninterrupted access to the islands for all Americans who chose to go and preferred to stay. The latest official state- ment of the present population gives returns of the nationalities in Hawaii: Japanese coolies. Chinese coolles Hawaiians . Hawailan p Portuguese Americans All others.... Total ....ccooaveee It is safe to assume that if the islands were suited to Americans they would be there. The foundation of the population of the United States is our Ameri- can laboring people. No Americgn State can be built and perpetuated without them. As The Call warned the annexationists, American labor cannot live and work in Hawaii. If there is to be commer- cial prosperity there its foundation is fixed by the cli- mate and its Asiatic coolie labor. It will be seen that already 61,000 coolies are domesticated there. More than ever before in the history of the country. Of the three thousand Americans none are laborers. The exceeding prosperity existing there during the last year has its sole cause in the productive power of 61,000 servile Asiatic coolie laborers. The next largest class is the Portuguese, themselves resistant to the climate to a less degree than the coolies, and most of them there on contract like the coolies. The British and Germans are there on business, picking such crumbs as fall from the tables of the 3000 Amer- icans. We submit that there is not the material for an American State, nor for an American Territory. New Mexico has been held out of the Union because a majority of her people are of Mexican blood and do not speak English, rendering the use of Spanish necessary in judicial proceedings. Thomas H. Ben- ton, the great Missouri Senator, could write as good English as a professor, but his extempore speeches | were full of grammatical lapses. One day he and Pierre Soule of Louisiana and a group of Senators were discussing the French republic of '48. Benton declared that it would live but briefly, for only people speaking the English language could exist under re- publican government. Soule replied: “It is fortu- nate for you that your theory is false.” The joke was on Benton, but his theory has been applied to New Mexico. In Hawaii it is a question of race and adaptation to the climate. American workingmen want to know whether Congress proposes to erect there an indefi- nitely continuing Territory, governed by its will, and excluded from the operation of the labor laws of this country. - They want to know whether the erection of a Territory is to cloak a continuation there of labor under a penal contract. They want to know whether the products of coolie servile labor are to have free access to this market in competition with the products of American labor paid on the white scale of wages. They are not to be deceived, for they know that just in proportion as such products displace theirs their labor is displaced and left without wages. As we have said, we repeat, that if Hawaii is brought under the economic as well as the political jurisdiction of the United States its coolie labor must go, and all of its contract labor, coolie or Portuguese or native, must cease. Like the former prosperity of Hayti and Jamaica, that of Hawaii is based on servile labor. It is that form of involuntary servitude which is forbidden by the constitution of the United States. When it ceases the prosperity of Hawaii ceases, like that of Jamaica and Hayti. Its economic history and fate will be that of all tropical possessions held by temperate zone nations, for never anywhere have they produced a significant commercial surplus except by forced and servile 1#bor. We advise the representa- tives of California to consider these things well when they act upon the status of Hawaii. The organic act creating there a Territory should be American. It can be so only by immediately banishing all coolie labor and permanently excluding it, and by making a labor contract a felony. It will be less trouble to recognize this now than to suffer for refusal later on. The Call has warned the people from the begin- ning. Our warning to the annexationists in Hawaii was not lacking. Coolie labor was the contract goose that laid their golden eggs. Their hope was to in- fluence this Government to erect in the islands an un- American American jurisdiction. To prove this let some one offer a coolie excluding amendment to the territorial bill, and the Hawaiian opposition will dis- close the direction of the trade wind in the islands. e s r— The racecourse at Pretoria has at last lost its in- ternational interest. Prisoners crowded in so fast that an addition had to be made to the town for their ac- commodation. There was a touch of sardonic humor in naming the streets after the towns the British want to capture. Lluieat g The kindliness and charity of some people are al- most beyond comprehension. The Chattanooga actress who sent a gentleman to his eternal rest with a bullet says she would restore him to life if she could. 2 RIS Local firemen have taken many a tumble in their rough experience, but it was not until the Mayor touched the match of his political ambition that they knew what an explosion was. '3 A DAILY HINT FROM PARIS, ¢ ALL DIFFERENCES BEIN ADJLSTED Friendship of America and Germany. ONLY ONE STUMBLING BLOCK LR SR MEAT INSPECTION QUESTION IS YET UNSOLVED. Embassador White Hopeful That Mc- Kinley’s Proposition for a Joint Commission Will Be Accepted. Bl O Copyrighted, 1300, by the Associated Press. BERLIN, Jan. 13.—The correspondent of the Associated Press interviewed United States Embassador White to-day about the present status of the relations be- tween Germany and the United States. White sald: The Samoan question between the United States and Germany, the insurance question and sundry minor matters have been happily settled. The main questions which remain are the commerclal treaty and the proper inspec- tion of American meats. The former will be mainly considered at Washington. The latter must depend upon the action of the Relchs- tag. Though the Agrarian party shows bitter hostlity to the alleviation of the present ar- rangements, so oppressive to American inter- ests, it is hoved that the propcsal made in President McKinley’s message for the appoint- ment of a special commission may be accepted, There s no doubt that the Government, apart from the Agrarians, would be heartily glad to see some such fair settiement. This was fore- shadowed when the Emperor expressed at con- siderable length to me on New Year's day not only his own personal satisfaction but that of the German people at the purt of the message referring to Germany. It is also an open secret that Prince Hohenlohe and Count von Bulow were especially anxious to see some such just rolution of this most troublesome of all the questions now pending between the two Gov- ernments.

The seizures of German steamers by British ships have had the effect of In- tensifying and generalizing anti-British sentiment in Germany. It would be difi- cult to-day to find a German, here or any where, who dares to profess Anglophilism. All the anti-German utterances in the British press are circulated here. One which causes great embitterment is a Punch poem starting, “Little Germany talks” which is reprinted everywhere. In reference to this the semi-official Post says to-day: “It must be said that this {s an unusn- ally impudent piece of impudence, by the same English who did not know how te | flatter our Emperor enough when the question was to prevent his abandoning the idea of his visit to England.” Ceoeoveisdeiedeie® L R e e S s ] P e IR I S S e acan kR SR S SRR S T e = ] BROCADED CREPE DRESS.
