MR EDITOR: Is not the city tax lowed
this year? Int it down to 81 60 already !?
Then what is this cry about tax levy now
As l understand it, all are agreed that if the
whole levy is per cent, So per cent. of it
must go to the interest fund.- That leaves
only 45 per cent, when it takes so per cent.
to maintain the schools alone. Not cent of
the special levies goes to pay funds. Is it
not wiser and better TO elect men not tied to
3 platform. hand and foot, that cannot be
carried out? l heard enough tonight in the
Democratic Convention to make me cry out
for Republicans, the friends Of free schools,
order and decent city government, to come
together as one man st the polls for the man
we shall choose at the primary, who makes
no foolish promises to do insane things. Come
to the primary, friends of reason NJ.

Der Of these cases have been disposed of by
inducing the men, who were mostly tramps,
with neither money nor friends, to
plead guilty, under a promise of leniency.
Besides they were a worthless set, and would
about as soon be in State Prison as anywhere
else. The Chiuamsn, Sc June, had sufi Gent

LEONARD GRovKR's CoAEDr COMPANY
The company appeared at the Metropolitan
Theater last night, for the first time, in the
comedy of My Son-in-Law," there being
fair Attendance. The play is OF the class Of
g Pink Dominoes, but it does not possess
the wit Of that well known production. It
would not be favorite with Sacramento
playgoers, and it is we'll that the programme
is to be changed for tonight. Two of the
company sustained their parts excellently
well-Miss Alma Stuart Stanley, as Sarah
Turnheart, and Leonard Grover as Jean An
tonin Bisbou. There will be matinee per-
formsucs this afternoon, and tonight "Cad
the Tomboy,n which it is claimed is a much
better play than that last night. There will
also be a special performance on Sunday
night. On Tuesday night the attaches Of the
box offiee viii be given benefit, and Lady
Audley's Score" will be prodscsd by q ss-
lected California company. For Thursday
night Yourg Mrs. Winthrop by the
Madison Square Company, is underlined. L
is said 10 he one Of the most sfsoting dramas
on the stsgs.
