tie organization of the Citizens Pro-
'f stive Union is approved quite generally
~ the press of the country, but neverthe-
hess it is apparent that this organization
cannot furnish a solution of the San Fran
cisco difficulties usless it is prepared to do
something more than it has yet done. We
anticipate no practical result from the trial
of Kearney and Cannon That has been
attempted before, and the prospects of ex-
emplasy punishment are far poorer now
than they were then. Meantime the in
cendiary talk goes on the meetings go on ;
the counsel to arm and drill goes on. OF
course we cannot tell at this distance
whether all these demonstrations indicate
any real purpose of resistance, but while
they continue the policy OF the dema-
gogues cannot be said either to have been
abandoned or even modified In fact no
change ID perceptible in the att
tude of the disturbing element. 1t
is still ostensibly defiant and men,
acing, and it is still maintaining
that stSte of uncertainty and apprehension
from which all the injury to San Francisco
has thus far proceeded, and which, as we
supposed, the Citizens Union was intended
to put an end to. 1t is therefore ap-
parently necessary to point out that up to
| the present moment no remedial action has
really been inaugurated, but that the prob
lem remains precisely what it was before
the Union issued its manifesto And
though it may be gratifying to find that
the press of the country sympathizes with
| the new organization, it is clear that this
sympathy is impotent to advance the pur-
! poses of the representatives of law and
order. If the Sandlotters cared for pub.
lie opinion they would have subsidized
long ago. But they do not, aud their
leaders are rather helped than hurt
by prosecutions which give them fresh
notoriety, and which seem to put them,
to the purblind vision of their ignorant
followers, in the category Of martyrs.
And it is evident that this situation may
be prolonged indefinitely. It is really
nothing more than a continuance Of the
proceedings of the last three years, and
unless it is brought to stop by some I'M
foreseen occurrence we can see nothing to
prevent it from extending itself until the
ruin of the city is accomplished. The
present condition of things is indeed not a
little paradoxieal The Citizens Union has
come forward and declared that the situa-
ton has become uncomfortable; and, having
said so much, they continue to endure it
with a Christian submissiveness oddly at
variance with their Introductory harangue.
We confess thatwe do not understand this
kind of policy, but for all that it may be
very profound and subtle.

TIE BUSH FUND AND SHIN WORK
T,1enTr7J


The creation Of the Bush fund for the
employment of neeessitous workingmen
appears to be effecting more than one good
end. It is not only affording the means of
earning living to honest and industrious
men who can find no other employment,
but it is bringing into strong relief the
humbug and hypocrisy which actuate much
of the prevalent pretenscs of distress.
Several examples of its salutary effect in
the latter direction have already been
given. Thus at recent meeting of the
so-called unemployed resolution was
adopted denouncing Mr. Bush and his
coadiutors for having dared to offer
workingmen one dollar day, and de-
claring that they would none of them work
on such terms. One speaker went so far
as to declare that no man ought to work
for dollar a day so long as he could steal
that much, and the report adds that this
sentiment was loudly appIauded. Now it
is true that one dollar a day is not much,
and it may be conceded that 1t would be
very unsatisfactory as permanent wage.
But when honest and industrious men can
not find employment at the usual rates of
wages, and are consequently threatened
with restitution, they do not turn up their
noses at even so small sum, but con-
sidering that it is at least sufficient to pro-
vide them with food and shelter, accept it
thankfully until something better turns
up. That is what honest and industrious
men do under the circumstances, and
when men who claim to be in dire distress
refuse proGer which is only made possible
by the active efforts of hberal-minded
men, it is prima facie evidence that they
are impostors. No doubt there are plenty
of people in the world who would rather
steal than work at any time, but the world
does not consider that it is bound to con-
suit the peculiar inclinations of such
people, and if after so frankly declaring
their sentiments they find lack of SYM
pathy for their complaints, they will have
only their own folly and laziness to blame.

SHARON ON THg TARHF.

Senator Sharon has made quite little
speech, and in it he has said one or two
true and pertinent things. His remarks
about the way in which the tariff plumbers
the masses deserve to be thought over
seriously by those who are so quick to
resent fancied aggressions upon their inter-
ests, but who endure with such blind sto-
Edity the incessant robberies which they
are subjected to by the fiscal policy of the
Government. The tariff is undoubtedly
the worst enemy the common psople have,
for 1t is they who have to meet every fresh
exaction it is they who have to pay on
every article they use, on every garment
they wear, on half the food they eat, for
the support of industries whose excuse
for requiring this robbery is that they
could not be maintained on their merits
yet which continue to insist on their blood.

however, are unnoticed. It is Ike that

blood. And SO the masses, impoverished
by the two thousand drains which the tariff
has established, driven by it from that
free competition with all countries which
is the only true support of national pros
perity, turn this way and that for the
cause of their distress, and passing over the
real evils, fasten upon imaginary ones, and
threaten to pull DOM the very pillars OF
society in their mad struggle to improve
their condition. Senator Sharon did well
to call attention to this state OF things,
but we fear that it will be long before
those who lack organization, and still
worse, appreciation of their true condition,

who are ever in the lobby of Congress,

THE AKTI-PEDRo BILL

The Assembly has taken on a yearning
for paternal legislation, and has, after
much eloquent and even pathetic debate,
passed bill to prohibit the playing of
games of cards for money or drinks, in
saloons and other places where liquor is
sold. We do not know how the Sandlot
members expect to justify themselves to
their constituents for the passage of this
measure, but it is evident that they must
have attained an unusual degree of moral
fortitude before they could thus intrepidly
assail the most cherished and venerated
customs of Tar Flat and the Barbary
Coast. The desire to reform the morals of
the community, and to prevent the squan-
dering of workingmen's wages on Satur-
dav night, is certainly laudable one. 1t
may be admitted freely that card playing
in saloons is extremely demoralizing. But
the attempt to alter mems habits and ten
denotes by restrictive legislation has
been made so often, and so uni
formly with the same results,
that we should have thought the lesson
of such experiments familiar TO all. We
are quite contented that this law should
be tested, however. Perhaps it is the best
way to convince doubters that paternal
legislation is bad philosophy. AT the same
time we would suggest the propriety of
extending the experiment so as to cover
another social abuse which is productive
of almost equal misery. We refer to the
baleful practice, followed by too many cit
liens who occupy respectable positions, of
going to Lodge in season and out of
season. We are convinced that if mems
wives could be polled on this question,
startling majority would be recorded in
behalf of the abolition of lodges" We
do not know whether people spend their
wages there, but we suspect strongly that
the lodge is too frequently made
the cover for all sorts of dark and
midnight deeds, and that when the
housefather has to steady himself by the
gate-post in order to catch the keyhole of
the revolving front door, his cerebral ex-
is not altogether due to the zeal
with which he has been studying the "un-
2" written work of the order" 1t is indeed
possible that the Anti-Pedro bill may exer-
else reflex influence upon the "lodge, +"
and that the attractions of the latter may
be diminished. This is one of the curious |
and perplexing sympathetic associations
which are sometimes developed. But if
the Anti-Pedro bill really prevents any |
body from playing cards for money or any
thing else, when they want to play, we
shall be willing to reconstruct our entire
social philosophy, and to admit that new
era has dawned upon the world-an era in
which it is possible to make men moral and !
self-reliant by act of the Legislature.

THE LATE SUPREME COURT DECISIONS

The Democratic journals have with one
accord lifted up their voices and wept be-
cause of the late decisions of the United
States Supreme Court in regard to the
scope of the Fourteenth Amendment.
The same Democratic papers have been
quick to recognize the extension of the
doctrine Of Capitalization when it touches
question of familiar politics, but they
were all dumb and blind when the same
Court laid down precisely the same doc
trine in the decision on the Thurman
bill. They thought that decision had no
bearing upon politics, whereas it was one
of the regulated and successive movements
by which the doctrines of Capitalization
are being extended in every direction, to
the utter extinction of State sovereignty

his only trouble being a slight soreness of the

night he is running fast, and within the last
two hours has gained nearly three miles on
