Too Much License.

It comes within the pale Of POSSIBLE
tiles that we are troubled with little
too much tax in the shape of license.
1t is all very well for city to protect
its trade and tradesmen, by requiring
people who come from the outside to
take out a license before vending their
wares on our streets. But there
should be some discretion used. There
is a stopping place somewhere, or the
farmer who sells load of hay or
dozen of eggs is liable to a fine for sell
ing goods without license. The
products of the country should not be
Z Inject to this species of taxation, and
the man who grows an article should
be permitted to sell that article in the
city without having to take out license
therefor. We hear many complaints
from producers that they are required
to pay license before they are permit
ted to sell what they claim they
should have right to sell free of
license taxation.

THE cars of the Central Pacific Rail-
road Company recently ran over and
killed a young woman, passenger on
the train. She was alone, and with
out means or friends. The accident
occurred at Reno, and the people of
that town buried the unfortunate girl.
The railroad company offered twenty
dollars toward defraying the funeral
expenses, but the good people of Reno,
believing that if that was all they
could afford to give they could not af-
ford to give that, and generously re-
turned the twenty.

What Local Option is Doing.

There is something more in Local.
Option than is dreamed ofin our phil
osophy. 1t is announced that owing
to the no-license expression of the
people the Pacific distillery of San
francisco has reduced its daily manu-
facture of whisky one-half, and that
the other distilleries find it necessary
to do likewise. The Pacific distillery
is owned by GEO. OULToN & Co. They
admit to the manufacture of three
thousand gallons of liquor per day.
Their monthly revenue tax at the rate
of seventy cents per gallon, amounts
to something over twelve thousand
dollars per week. The Pacific manu-
features about one-half of the spirits
produced in the State. This does not
include what is imported from the
East or elsewhere. Up to the present
time at least six thousand gallons of
whisky per day were manufactured in
this State. We mean spirits, and we
have no means OF knowing how many
gallons of four dollar whisky this
spirits rectifies. Experts have our
permission to figure on the cost of the
luxury until they are satisfied with
the result. Not one-fourth of the
towns and townships of the State have
yet spoken on Local Option, yet we.
are told that already the consumption.
of whisky is reduced one-half. There
is a great saving somewhere. The
Government loses about fifty thousand
per month on whisky revenue; OUL-
TON & Co. lose two or three times that
amount, and the other distilleries lose
to like extent. IF the people are
saving all this money, the shabbiest
old whisky-bloat in the State will
soon become bloated .aristocrat.

Strongly Minded Women.

We like strong-minded woman,
not one of your sticklers for equal
rights including the right to talk her
self through the world at the expense
of those who workout a woman who
is strong-minded enough to be true to
herself and to be a true woman. The
woman who is strong-minded enough
TO maintain herself at some honorable
occupation and ask no favors of any
enc beyond the respect and esteem
that every honest man gives to such
a woman, is the kind of strong-mind-
ed woman we like, yea more than like,
we admire. We should like to see
such women in banks, stores, shops,
factories, schools, colleges, and news
paper offices. We should like to see a
few more such women in our homes
the mothers of the rising generation.
There are a thousand occupations that
women might follow creditably and
honorably. Why don't they? Be-
cause when they attempt to do so men
at least that is what they call them
selves-sneer at and ridicule them;
call them strong-minded old spinsters.
Women are better adapted for retail
dry goods clerks than the thousands
of nice little bundles of cheek and
conceit who in two many instances
fill those places, yet let the proprietor
of store employ girl as clerk and
see how soon the gentlemen" clerks
will work her out of the establish
ment. This result has followed the
experiment in San Francisco in hun
dred, perhaps thousand cases. The
young men are afraid she Will crowd
them out of employment. We wish
the girls could do just what the nice
little boys fear they will do. The fact
is woman would do great deal more
than they do if the men would permit
them. We should like to see honest
hard working woman sufficiently
strong minded to overcome these
prejudices against them.

THE people of San Bernardino are
alive to the Importance Of having a
beet sugar factory in their vicinity.
A number of energetic gentlemen are
interesting themselves in the work,
and the local papers say the enterprise
is certain to be carried to successful
termination. We hope to see the mill
in operation. One of these factories
in this part of the State will induce
the building of half a dozen others, and
the company taking the initiatory
will have just so much the start of
those that follow.

Susan B. Anthony.


In the city of Rochester, New York,
at the Presidential election of 1872,
SUSAN b. ANTHONY and several other
ladies voted. They were indicted by
a Grand Jury and the trial came off
before a jury, Justice HUNT presiding.
The evidence offered by the defend
ants to prove that they did not intend
to commit an unlawful act and did
not know they had no right to vote
was admitted, but after the trial had
reached certain stage, Justice HUNT
withdrew the evidence and perem-
torily ordered the jury to find ver-
dict in accordance with the instruc-
tions he would give them. Under
those instructions the jury found the
defendants guilty and fines were inn
posed. Now Miss ANTHONY has pc
titioned Congress for remission of
her fine. The Judiciary Committee
of the House investigated the matter
and reported bill granting the petit
ton with q strong recommendation
that it pass. The Committee of which
BUTLER was Chairman, was composed
of some of the ablest lawyers of the
nation. The proposition to remit the
fines does not turn upon what Miss
ANTHONY and her friends believed,
or of what they were ignorant. 1t was
their business to know the law. The
fact that one violates law through
ignorance of its existence is no
palliation. Everybody is presumed
to know the law and the plea
that they do not cannot be
set up as excuse or justification. The
point at issue in the case in question
is the ruling of Judge HUNT. The
right to strike out testimony is not
denied, but the peremptory order to
the jury to find a verdict as directed
by the Court, appears to be blow
aimed at the right of trial by jury.
The Constitution guarantees this right
to every one indicted for crime, and
the common law defines the duties of
both Court and jury-the Court ex-
plains the law, but the evidence be-
longs to the jury. Under the ruling
of Justice HUNT jury is nonentity
and the jury system a mere farce.
With such Justices as he, the instruc-
ton to the jury is the judgment of the
Court. The House Committee on
Miss ANTHoNY's petition close their
report with this language:
because the fine upon Miss AN
THoNY was imposed by Court of the
United States for an offense on trial
by jury, without the same being
submitted to the jury; and because the
Court assumed to itself the right to
order and enter verdict without SUBJ
hitting the case to the jury; and in
order that the judgment of the House
Of Representatives may, in most
signal and impressive form, mark it's
determination to sustain in its integ-
rity the common law right of trial by
jury

Our Library.

The report of Librarian LITTLE
FIELD published in the HERALD few
mornings ago, shows that while the
public library Of this city is a very
creditable Institution it cannot be-
come still more creditable, unless aid
more substantial than it is now re-
ceiving is, obtained. It's only source
of revenue is dues from members and
voluntary contributions, and at this
time these are not sufficient to defray
the current expenses. At this rate no
new books can be added, and worse
still the library will soon be running
in debt. Possibly considerable in
crease of membership might be OBJ
tanned, but even then the income
would not be sufficient to make the
library what we should all like to see
it. We do not suppose for moment
that our citizens are so Indifferent as
to care little whether the library lives
and prospers or wanes and finally dies.
1t is something in which all are inter-
ested, and we have reason to believe
that the general sentiment is that the
Council shall avail itself of the privi-
leges granted by the special act of the
Legislature passed at the last session,
and raise the library to a position of
permanency. The tax will be so light
as to be scarcely felt, and when con-
sidered in connection with the great
advantages which will result from it
no one will regret its payment. The
Council has the matter under consid-
Grafton, and as we know the members
of that body are willing to conform to
the wishes Of the people, we have no
doubt of the future prosperity of our
library.

WE do not know how it is nor why
it is, but it is fact that the tele-
graphic dispatches sent down here are
about the hugest libels on news reports
that were ever foisted on an intelli-
gent public. To a person familiar
with the business of compiling news,
they are simply disgusting. They
contain neither rhyme, reason, sense
nor logic; and as for news, why, the
ingredient does not enter into the
miserable composition. A sufficient
number of words are sent, but they
seem to be selected with especial refer
ence to their dizziness, and the COM
piler evidently labors hard to select
such paragraphs as he is certain con-
tain nothing of interest to any one.

The people of Independence, Ii

THE people of Independence, Inyo

connecting themselves with the out

will be built from some point on one
of the southern lines to Independence.
We do not know by whom the offer is
made nor who is to own the line after
it is in operation. These are points
upon which the people interested
should inform themselves. If the
wire is put up by either the Atlantic
and Pacific or Western Union Com
panies, it is safe investment and the
tariff will not be exorbitant, but if a
private individual is to do the work
care should be taken that the main
line with which it connects will do it's
business without the usual heavy tar

reading it aloud, he inquired: "What
more do you think necessary please
add the words, also to come out p" Catch
ing the idea, he stretched out his long legs,
and leaning back in his chair, he again
laughed loud enough to be heard all over

which he said were very important in those
days, he inquired: "Lew, why do you not
