4 SACRAMENTO GAS STOCK CASE.

The case of Samuel l.. Sayre ys. the Citi-
zens' Gaslight and Heat Company ct al, is
on trial before Judge Edmonds of Depart
ment No. of the Superior Court this
afternoon. The pleadings in the case show
that the defendant company agreed with
one H. G.. Morris of Philadelphia to build
gas works in Sacramento for 500, GOO cash
and $500 shares of paid up unassessable
stock of the company. The company sold
the remainder Of the stock to Messrs. Stan
ford, Croker, Huntington, Galatin and
others at an average price of 81 20 per
share, the par value being $50 per share.
After Morris had completed the works the
company attempted to levy an assess
ment of 81 so per share on all the cap
ital stock, including that delivered to
Morris, which he AYERS, was intended to
freeze him out in the interest of the indi-
vidual defendants. The company bought
in the delinquent stock on the sale day at
$40 per share. The company then con-
solidated with rival company called the
Sacramento Gas Company, and formed
new corporation under the name of the
Capital Gas Company, which issued stock
to the stockholders of the old companies.
Morris assigned his stock claim to plaintiff,
who brought suit to compel the individual
defendants to surrender $500 shares, so
obtained by them to make the new COM
pany issue certificates therefor, and that
he be paid the dividends thereon, the
value OF the stock in controversy being
about $50, 900. The attorneys for plaintiff
are George Cadwalader and G. B. r.
Hager, and Messrs. McAllister and Bergin
for defendants.-[San Francisco Bulletin,
23d.

upon those parts of the empire. When
the Government found out what was going
on it appropriated $50, GOO, 900 to the relief
of the sufferers, and this fund has been
distributed in payment for service upon
various public works, principally railways.
The Government, however, is laboring un-
der serious financial difficulties, and it is
feared that before long it will be compelled
to withdraw the aid it has thus far ex-
tended, in which event some 200, 600 people
would be deprived of all resources, and
would no doubt quickly follow the
500, 600 who have already fallen victims to
the famine. The unhappy countrs has
suffered frightfully from this prolonged
scourge, and though from time to time
ftful rumors of distress have reached us,
no detailed or authentic account of the
situation has before been accessible. The
fact that Brazil has very bad communica-
tions has no doubt contributed greatly to
prevent both the transmission of news and
the effectual application of remedies. The
loss of life has evidently been frightful,
and it must seem strange that so wide
spread and persistent calamity should
have occurred SO near to the United States
without attracting more attention, and
without calling out the generous impulses
of the American public. One reason Of
this undoubtedly is to be found in our de-
testable fiscal policy, which builds Chinese
wall around US, and shuts us off from com
mercial intercourse with our neighbors.

FAMINE IN Brazil.

1t is not little remarkable that famine
and pestilence should have been raging in
Brazil during nearly three years, and that
only the most imperfect and fragmentary
accounts of what was happening should
have reached us from a country SO close
to our own borders. Yet it appears that
while the people of the United States have
been deluged with news about the distress
in Ireland, which has in few or no cases
reached to absolute starvation, something
like half million human beings have actu-
ally been swept away by hunger and dis
ease, in Brazil, and this without arousing
any sympathy, or producing any outflow
OF charitable contributions. Mr.. Herbert
Smith has recently been to Brazil for the
express purpose of ascertaining the facts,
and he writes to the press of New York
letters declaring that the distress is terri
bic. 1t appears that in the most fertile
and thickly populated Brazilian provinces
there has been three years drought.
Not only have all crops failed, but all
the stock and domestic animals of
every kind have persisted, and rich
and poor have been brought to the
same level of restitution and misery. 1t
is estimated that 200, 600 people have died
Of famine, and 100000 of pestilence,
which, as in all such cases, followed close
upon the heels of the prolonged drought.
The Government of Brazil did not realize
the extent and magnitude of the suffering
until the second year, and then scores of
thousands of people had persisted. The
provinces in which the disaster occurred
have been literally depopulated, the sur
vivors having migrated to the coast, and
thus thrown new and insupportable burdens

THE SUPPLEMENTAL REVENUE BILL.

The attempt to undo what was done in
the Revenue bill, by supplemental bill
exempting savings banks deposits from
taxation, was yesterday defeated by a
vote of So to %, and though notice of re-
consideration has been given there is no
rsason to suppose that any change of views
will occur to revive the chances Of passing
such measure It is evident that the
Assembly could not agree to such prop
osition without admitting in the most
direct way that it had Numbered
IN the original revenue bill It is impos-
sible to retreat in that direction, however,
for the reason that the original bill follows
the Constitution closely. To nullify the
one is therefore to nullify the other, and
this the Legislature cannot afford to at
tempt. The new revenue bill will undoubt-
edly work injustice and wrong, but that
cannot be helped, because the Constitution
expressly commands the preparation of
that kind Of injustice and wrong. The
Legislature has no discretion in the matter
1t must obey the Constitution. It cannot
be held responsible for what the latter pre-
scribes, but it certainly would be held ac-
countable for any attempt to nullify the
organic law. The action had upon the
supplemental revenue bill yesterday is
therefore the only justifable course. and
of this the majority are ne doubt thor
oughly convinced. Actual experiment will
soon develop the defects of the new Con-
stitution, and of the laws made under it,
but no other means of action are available.

A REMARKABLE STATE OF AFFAIRS

Whoever undertakes at this juncture to
discover, from the San Francisco papers,
what the Citizens Protective Union has or
has not done, or what it proposes to do, is
doomed to have his labor for his pains, for
it is unfortunately the fact that these
papers contradict one another fatty on the
most vital points, though each one stoutly
processes to have the most trustworthy
and authentic information. The most con-
fused question is that of the alleged COM
promise with the Workingmen's leaders.
On this there appears to be quite hopeless
disagreement. For example, yesterday the
Alta said "We are pleased to state,
"upon undoubted authority, that there
SO is not particle of truth in the rumors
(which have prevailed in this community
:" for several days past, to the effect that
90 the Committee of Two Hundred, who
have been looked upon as a Committee of
Safety, have been attempting, offering
"and effecting compromise with the sand
slot crowd of Communists and Nihilists
Z" There is not and has not
''been any Offer of compromise on their
"part, the gentleman assures u.s." Here
we have positive denial that there has
ever been any compromise whatever, OF
even an effort at compromise. On the
same morning the Chronicle, which the
day before had published long and cir
cumstantial narrative protesting to show
precisely how the compromise had been
arranged, gravely observed that 'there
had been no idea of compromise, and
''none was to be entertained for a mo-
'ment." To cap the climax of bewilder-
ment and contradiction the CAT printed
an article stating that a week ago
q the hope of peaceful and satisfactory
compromise temporarily quoted the
4" turbulent elements in the community"
and further on observing that "the SEN
"tence of Kearney had the tendency to
''retard the hoped-for compromise" After
reading all these explanations which dc
not explain, the question whether there
has been an attempt at compromise on the
part of the Citizens Protective Union is
evidently as far as ever from being an
swered, though perhaps good deal depends
upon what different persons may choose to
call the interviews between Kalloch, Kear-
ney and the committee, the occurrence of
which does not seem to be disputed by
any one Meantime the situation is I'M
changed except by the importation of an
element of politics which is perhaps des-
tined to open the eyes of the community
in regard to many things which have ap-
peared mysterious in the recent events.

policy and convenience, to select this period
Of the session for releasing Parliament from

The moment, however, that men begin
to defend universal suffrage for their own
sex, and to oppose it for women, they give
away their case altogether, for it is plain
that thousands and tens of thousands of
men of the most ignorant and incapable
kind are now permitted to vote, whereas
equal numbers of highly intelligent women
are refused all participation in the govern
ment The defense of universal suffrage
is therefore incompatible with the denial
of woman suffrage. The two things 60
upon all-fours, in fact, and cannot be logi-
cally separated. Those only who believe
in restriction of the suffrage can with any
consistency oppose the demands of the
woman sufragists, for they are in favor of
Withholding the right to vote from con-
siderable proportion of the male popula-
ton. 1t appears to us, however, that the
one great argument in behalf of woman
suffrage upon which its supporters ought
to rely, is its practical success in the Ter
ritory of Wyoming. 1t has been in force
there now for several years, and not one of
the hostile predictions of its opponents
has been verified in regard to it. All its
effects have been elevating and beneficial
1t has made politics more decent. 1t has
infused decided moral element into them.
1t has made it impossible for nominating
conventions to put up candidates of no.
toriously lewd and filthy life. 1t has made
virtue and domesticity and temperance and
thrift and purity of character count in the
canvass as those attributes too commonly
fail to count where men alone are the
electors. 1t has not in any way degraded
the women, but it has distinctly lifted up
the men. The anticipated family quar-
rels have not occurred. The appre.
hended scenes at the polls have
never been witnessed. Elections in
Wyoming have become decorous and
quiet. The women go to the polls as easily
as to the postofice. The general result of
the experiment has been to give the Terri
tory better government, and to bring into
greater prominence those social issues
which men, when left alone, are apt to
evade whenever possible. In fact, the
Wyoming case is the trump card of the
woman suffragists, and it has demolished
every one of the old-fogy Pigments
which have been so long the staple argu-
ments against the change. As against the
practical outcome of woman suffrage when
fairly tested, there is no longer any room
for doubt or hesitation, and if the new
Constitution had not barred the way, the
advocates of that measure ought to have
carried the Legislature by storm. As it
is, we see no help for them, however, un-
less they can compass the introduction of
constitutional amendment.
