E are not informed as to the fact, but V\/ Berkeley should be a somewhat perturbed community. Indeed the state of being per- turbed may in modified form affect all Alameda County. A citizen of Berkeley, Mr. Brandes, had ac- quired a taste for beating a physically infirm daugh- ter. She was a poor, hectic creature, perhaps af- flicted with pernicious anemia. But she was hollow, and her parent made t_he neighbors acquainted with the gamut of misery as they listened to the resound- ing thumps, thwacks and blows which he administered to her emaciated exterior. One morning the hapless child was found dead in the basement, many places on her body being re- duced to a purple pulp by the muscular discipline heard by the passers-by and the neighbors next door and agross the street. The child’s cadaver bore fresh marks of violence sufficient to cause her death, and the testimony was duly excised and confined in alco- hol for use at the trial of her father for her mur- der. The evidence of her anatomy, added to the tes- timony of the non-interfering neighbors, procured her father’s conviction of murder. . The justice of the verdict impressed all except the culprit and his able attorneys, who found enough t's not crossed and i’s not dotted in the court’s in- structions to Secure a new trial. But time had lapsed. Sun and storm and seasons finally choke the voice of that spilled blood which is said to cry out from the ound for vengeance. Alcohol is no kinder than its themical partners, and various exhibits of the frail body used in evidence on the second trial spoke with less certainty. Maybe the neighbors, too, had grown less. certain of the horror with which they used to stand outsidg the Brandes gate and hear. the little girl beaten and begging for mercy. Anyway, the sec- ond jury had enough members inclined to indifference to force the verdict down to a mild variety of man- slaughter, and Mr. Brandes is taking the air at Fol- som penitentiary for a few years in expiation of a crime which if he comrhitted it at all was murder of the foulest and most unnatural kind. If he slew that weazened and helpless child it was not manslaughter has to go, and we dismiss, for a moment, the case of Mr. Brandes. In Berkeley is another citizen, Mr. Adams. He is an unfrocked clergyman, who clinked the cannikin until his presence in the pulpit was incompatible with the ideas of that holy office entertained by worship- ing congregations. Thereafter he followed Bacchus so closely that that patron saint of the bibulous and hilarious felt his heels in danger. He varied heavy drinki;ng by abuse of his daughter. Here we pause to remark that as his case is before the courts we will pursue the matter as personal to Mr. Adams no fur- ther, but take it up in its relation to the neighbors Call subscribers contemplating a change of residence during the summer months can have their paper forwarded by mail to their mew resses by motifying The Call Business Office. This paper will also be on sale at all summer resorts and is represented by a local agent im =il towns on the coast. S to nominate good men for office and provide | the city with ag efficient administration find themselves cenffonted by the bosses. The issue is made plain and emphatic. To the aid of the bosses there has been openly summoned all the following | controlled by Federal or State patronage, and se- | cretly the following of the bosses in the Democratic | camp will also give 2id. It is a sure thing that on election day the Kelly and Herrin gang will carry to the Republican primaries numbers of men who are not in any sense members of the Republican party. | REGISTER AND ENROLL. AN FRANCISCO Republicans in their efforts and the perturbed people of Berkeley. One evening the daughter of Mr. Adams claimed protection of the neighbors, and one of them, Dr. Jessup, entered the Adams house for defensive pur- poses and was immediately shot down by Mr. Adams. The latter upon arraignment before a Berkeley magis- trate was held in light bail for manslaughter, his law- yer contending that a man’s house is his castle, and no one may enter there except upon invitation. Now what are the Berkeley people to do? At least what will those do who are neighbors of men who abuse | their daughters and occasionally do them to death? | The neighbors of Brandes respected his castle, and | shivered in the street when they heard the thick blows and the thin cries for mercy of the daughter he was murdering, or, according to the jury, merely manslaughfi:ring They were blamed by more dis- tant neighbors and the public for not interfering to save the child. Perhaps stung by this, Dr. Jessup | did interfere in the case of Brandes' partner in the amusement of abusing children, and was promptly Their object is to win and to force the nomination of a boss ticket. ans employed to attain that end. bination cannot be defeated -without earnest work on the part of the better elements of | the party. Neglect of political duty or indifference to | it on the part of any considerable number of working- | men, business men and professional men will' result | victory for the corrupt elements of the city. It is therefore important that all who are physically able should give some portion of their time and their energies to making preparations for the cofning pri- maries. The activity of the bosses should be met by an equal activity on the part of good citizens. It is even at this time perceived that a large vote at the Republican primaries will mean the success of the better elements of the party, for not even with the aid of the Democratic push can the bosses bring to the polls a sufficient number of men tc outvote the better element if that element be fully represented. Everything, then, depends upon good citizens them- selves. They have now an opportunity to rid their party and their city of the domination of corrupt gangs, and if they fail the fault will be their own. Such an issue appeals to the civic patriotism as well as to the party loyalty of men, and it is to be hoped there will be few gepuine Republicans in San Fran- cisco who will be indifferent to it. In times past honest men have had some excuse for remaining away from the primaries because such elections were controlled by men who had no hesita- tion in resorting to force or fraud in shaping the re- sults as the bosses desired. It was by his skill in that kind of work that Kelly rose to the evil dignity of being an associate of Herrin, and was admitted to “do politics” with the Governor of the State. Such tactics, however, cannot be made use of now. The primary law protects every citizen in his right to vote and to have his vote counted. Consequently no valid excuse remains for staying away from the primaries. The Republican who negiects the election this year will voluntarily surrender his franchise in.the interest of the bosses. In an issue of this kind there should be no delay on the part of good men in taking action. Every ear- nest Republican should use his full influence to rouse his friends to a recognition of the importance of the contest. No one should be permitted to forget the issue or his duty with respect to it. There should be a thorough registration and a thorough enroli- ment of the rank and file of the Republican party, so that at the primaries there will be a vote large enough to defeat the gangs and drive the bosses out of Re- publican politics. They are absolutely unscrupulous | as to the m | Such a ¢ According to the report of Chief Wilkie of the United States Secret Service upward of 75 per cent of all the counterfeit silver money put into circula- tion in this country is made in New York; so it ap- pears the Bryan States are not the worst silver com- munities in the country. ’ killed by the father. An examination of the two cases as they stand | seems to demonstrate that for a brutal father to kill his daughter is only manslaughter, and that he has the right to kill any one who interferes to prevent him killing his- daughter, incurring thereby also only the penalty for manslaughter. b What are the Berkeley people to do? Shall they lay awake nights whils men murder children to whom by law and nature they owe the tenderest protection, or shall they try and stop it and be shot for their pains because they have time being is used as a shambles? We are unable to decide the point. Perhaps the middle ground would | be found in taking a pot shot at the abusive and bru- tal.father, just to stop the abuse and see what a jury would do about it. e —— 1t is stated that the number of British seamep em- ployed on British vessels is less by 5000 than it was thirty years ago, and now the officials are wondering where they are to look for reserves for their increas- ing navy. ANTI-LYNCHING LAWS. Virginia are not giving their attention wholly to plans for so devising restrictions ! upon universal suffrage as to admit illiterate whites to vote while excluding illiterate negroes. They have many other problems to deal with, not the least of which is that of providing some method for putting a stop to the outrageous crimes committed in the name of lynch law. In both conventions propositions have been submitted looking to that end, and it is probable the results may prove highly beneficial. The Alabama plan, to which attention was directed some days ago, provides that any officer of the State who fails to protect a prisoner from a mob shall be liable to summary removal from office, and heavy penalties are imposed upon all who talJc part in lynching. The plan submitted in Virginia is not so drastic in dealing with unfaithful officials, but it has | none the less its good features. According to the summary reported in the dispatches the plan provides that “the Governor shall offer a reward for the de- tection and conviction of persons aiding a mob by which the life of any person is taken; any one found engaged in such mob shall be deemed guilty of mur- der in the first degree. When murder is not com- mitted, but great bodily injury is inflicted, persons aiding the mob shall be deemed guilty of riot. The Governor is authorized to pay a certain sum out .of the State treasury to the heirs of any person mur- dered by a mob and to charge the amount to the county in which the lynching was_ perpetrated.” Of course neither of the plans proposed can effect much unless supported by a resolute public opinion, but fortunately there is hope that such a sentiment will be found. The very consideration given to the subject by the two conventions is itself an evidence C ONSTITUTION-MAKERS in Alabama and Some politicians are born great, some achieve greatness and some appeal to the State Committee. 8 that the controlling element of the South has be- come aroused to the danger that threatens their communities by the toleration of such barbaric out- but rope-deserving murder. However, manslaughter | Jntcred a castle that for the | breaks as have too frequently happened. , Thus, should the proposed provisions against lynching be put into the constitutions, there would be a fair ex- pectation of their enforcement. In addition to the evidence of a change in public sentiment in the South, which is afforded by the efforts of the two conventions to suppress the prac- tice, there exists another in the diminished number of Iynchings. The Chicago Tribune, which for a long series of years has carefully kept a record of all of- fenses of the kind, recently pointed out that while in 1892 there were 235 lynchings in the United States vp to November 13, the lynching record for the entire year of 1900 numbered but 1o1. The record as it stands is bad enough to constitute a national dis- grace, but in comparison to what it was in 1892 there is evident a gratifying diminution in the frequency of the outrages. The plans proposed in Alabama and Virginia may of course be modified before adoption, so it is possible that even better remedial measures may be provided than those now submitted. But of the changes in their constitutions, therefore, the two States may gain something better than restricted suffrage, and the illiterate negro deprived of his vote may at least obtain a surer protection for his life and person against the assaults of mobs, If Maryland can do nothing else she can develop a remarkably unique form of insanity. One of her farmers attached a lightning rod to his head the other day and defied a bolt from the sky. The defiance was accepted, and it is hoped the man may recover. 7 T somewhat misunderstood The Call’s position on public ownership of public utilities, takes no- tice of a nearby illustration of that policy which points the moral we have drawn from conditions in Chicago, New York and other cities' where disinterested in- quiry has exposed the concealment in accounts®of the fact that municipal waste equals or exceeds corporate profit. It is found impossible from the public accounts to tell whether public ownership of an electric light plant by Alameda is a paying or a losing venture. One party says it pays, another that it loses; both complain of the kind of service and each resorts to the public accounts to prove its position, to find them so kept that neither can prove'anything. The Enquirer marvels that this is so, and very prop- erly declares that it ought not to be so, but it is. The smallest corporation in Alameda would be forced into court by its smallest stockholder if such cpndi- tions appeared in the accounts kept by order of its directors. But Alameda itself is the greatest corpora- tion on that charming peninsula, and its largest stock- holder, who is its largest taxpayer, can get no satis- faction from his trustees and none from the courts. The electric light plant seems not to be kept up, but the rate of depreciation is unknown, as in other items, all important to be known. In all respects of legitimate government Alameda is really a model town. Its administration of the proper police powers of government has been creditably free from pecula- tion and scandal. There is no suspicion that there is any dishonesty in running its electric light plant. ‘What happens in that respect occurs in the nature of things. Alameda, like other municipalities, is not qualified to carry on business that is not functional to government. PUBLIC ACCOUNTING. HE Oakland Enquirer, which has sometimes fix their gaze upon public ownership of * the largest public utilities in Europe. But those applications of the policy are under governments widely different in form to ours, and to which ours cannot be approxi- matgd; except by changes so fundamental as to de- stroy its identity. But there is no evidence that even those governments succeed any better than our cities v in public ownership. ‘One of our Consuls, Mr. Guen- ther, reports that so rapid has. been the absorption of steam railways by Continental Governments that England and the United States are the only private railroad countries left in the world. But he adds that those who have traveled on American railways and the government roads of the Continent prefer our roads for comfort, cheapness and all those things which make the use of railways desiralle. As we have frequently shown from official docu- ments, the freight and passenger rates of the United States are far below and the wages of the employes far above those of Europe. So here we have still no iso]ution of the problem that vindicates public owner- ship. The Continental Governments, which consist of armed camps, desire absolute control of their rail- way systems for military purposes, offensive and de- fensive, and that is probably the underlying motive of their acquisition. England and the United States have no such state necessity, which may account in part for their abstention from such ownership. © The public, the users of the Continental Government rail- ways, are of secondary importance, either as shippers, travelers or taxpayers. If the accounting were made as in private business, it is entirely probable that the same fact will be found concealed behind the books of Alameda and of the Continental Governments, that governmert waste in administering business is equal to corporate profit.

D. Conness, electrical engineer of the Risdon Iron Works, is likely to create a sensation when he drives the glant equine along Market street., Conness has a fad for large horses, as the nature of his business requires that he have a driving animal that can stand considerable work. A few days ago Con- ness complainéd to a. friend that he could not get a horse large enough. His friend told him that he could furnish him with an animal that would meet all require- ments. “I know where there is a horse that will suit you,” said his friend. ‘“Well, money is no object,” replied Conness, and forthwith the friend was commissioned to buy the animal and was glven a sack of twenty dollar gold pieces with which to clinch the bargain. Last Saturday Conness received a tele- gram to, come to Vallejo and get his new horse. He declares emphatically that he only took one drink on the way to Vallejo and that he diG not see ‘“‘double” when the horse was Lrought out for inspection. ‘What he did see was a sorrel gelding measuring 82 inches in height at the withers and whose head is almost ten feet from the ground.

A tape measure placed along the front of his head measured two feet 10% inches from tip of his nose to a point between the ears. Around the jaws, four feet of tape were required to get the girth. At the hocks the animal measured 1 foot 6 inches. The length of “Samson” from hig nose to the stump of his tail is 0% feet. Around the body it required nine feet of tape to take the measurement of tke animal, and he is said to be capable of taking on 500 pounds more, as he is not in the pink of condi- [ * tion. A Shetland pony placed aiongside “Samson” looked like a toy animal and a man on horseback is overshadowed by his massive head and shoulders. Samson was raised on a farm owned by a man named Bullard four miles from ‘Woeodland. His sire and dam were ordin- ary sized animais. It took considerable trouble to bring “Samson” to this city. He was placed on the big fiver boat, General Frisblie last Saturday evening and some woodwork had to be broken away in order to allow him to stand up- right. At Mission street wharf Samson could not be landed. 'The hatch in the side of the river boat i3 as large as those on an ocean steamer, but when Samson tried to step up the incline to the dock, his shoulders stuck in the casing. A land- ing was finally made at Jackson street wharf, as there is a small float there at the foot of an incline. Samson was able to walk out of the hatch on the level float and then climbed the sloping gang- way to the wharf. An offer for the horse was received by his owner yesterday from Sells’ circus, the proprietors having been in negotiation with the man who disposed of Samson Saturday to his present owner. Conness declared yesterday that he would have a buggy specially built for Samson and use him in his business around the city Whether he will try his glant animal en the speed track at the park is not yet known.

Yreka *Journal. tor E. K. Taylor of Alameda County, a attorney, is one of the two lawyers who are sending circulars to saloon-keepers in the various municipalities of the State, in case a decision be secured from the Supreme Court that, under a new law passed by the late Legislature, Boards of Supervisors have no power to levy or col- lect a county license tax for‘the sale of intcxicants within municipalities. The law in question is chapter 209 and was Assembly bill 456, introduced by As- semblyman J. M. Kelley of Alameda. The old law gave the Supervisors power to license for the purpose of regulation and revenue, but in the new law revenue was not inserted. 1t is claimed that the change has the effect of depriving Supervisors of the pow- er to levy a county license within munici- pal limits. —_———— TROUBLE IN STORE.
