\ Nut To Crack.

Ii Is fact possibly not generally
known to the citizens OF Palatka that a
large proportion Of the cases beins tried
ly the city court are such az are male
out against persons who arr found asleeI
upon the streets or wharyes III the
city. This seems to b. a very snotli-
ing atmosphere We have, ar the
whiskey and the warm climate
make strangers drowsy, AMI when
the ''wee sma hours" come. they sheen
and dream, hut their dreams are not of
that blissful kind which "opens up swee.
fields AMI marble PALACES. They awake
to iind an officer Of the law Juggling al
them, and the next thing they realize is
that they are not in the pr,ncely palaces,
but within the dim ami dingyi. walls OF
the Jail. This is forcible illustration Of
the real and ideal sides Of life.
The people 30 to trial, and are usually
fined in the sum % one OF two dollars
in each case, together with the usual
costs. IL often occurs, most often oc-
ours, that these prisoners are not able to
pay their fines. In this ease the prisoner
must work out his fine On the streets Of
tho city. A man is hired To oversee
these prisoners. whether there
Ire one or more of them.
For each dollar Of the fine II prisoner is
AS rule given days work.
liza man is able bodied, his work is
worth dollar day. Able bolied men
can be had at that price, who pay for
their own maintenance. A little figuring
ON tins subject may be of interest. We
will take M basis the fIe bills 81 three
officers which went before the
city council at its meeting Tuesday
night these officers being the mayor,
tho marshal and the jailor. For nrsu.
ment sake We will say that these eases
were for such oiTenses as named above.
The bills amount. all together. to
tl335j, and they cover the time Of one
month. There are, say, twenty cases,
which, to ad,l fines and costs. would be,
to average the cases at II, 500 To the
city. TN the basis of IA plis-
oner being allowed 81 Il day to lnIui-
date his fine, the city gets only
$780, worth Of work, for which il pays
! tl;s.5I, or twice as much w. tho same
"free" labor would cost at regular price.
THIS dMs not include the salary IT the
oNerseer nf the prisoner.
W. 10 not say that the officers are
doing wrong in the face of tn" law, hut IL
tho law will bear this construction and
doubtless il does Il IL not one that il
calculated to enrich the city.
II can douhtIessly be improved, AMI
the financial condition NJ tho city ~ such
that any improvement by which money
can b@ kept in the treasury is an i'm.
provrn,ent devoutly to le wished. The
attention ot the proper authorities is re-.
specifically called to this matter.

strangers were poor. and. as other
strangers have done, are working out

Why does not the strengthening md grad

pie safe route to and from Downcy ave
nue.. Buena Vista street is very unsafe at
the double railroad crossing. Accidents are
continually happening there OF serious
nature. The horses become frightened and
tip the wagons over the bank. Last year a
reporter OF the HERALD had an arm frac-
tured by tip-over at that place, and on
Tuesday the carriage OF W. +. Heathman
Esq was ruined by similar accident
there, and Mr.. Heathman aud an attache of
the HERALD barely escaped with their
lives. Mr.. Heathman's grip on the the team
was all that prevented fatal termi nation
of the calamity.
Something must be done to protect human
life, which is more valuable than bridges or
barricades. When will the good work be-
gin to open safe avenues through this city?
At present the avenues between the north
and south part OF the city are disgrace 10

A Runaway.

Mrs. Ogsbury, OF No. Alabama street
and Mis-. Ford, OF East Los Angeles, the
former holding little child and the latter
driving the horse, were coming up Com
mercial street, near Alameda, yesterday af-
terno in a carriage when they were sud-
denly met by runaway horse engineered
by a scared Chinaman in the usual vehicle,
whose wagon collided with the carriage,
throwing both OF the ladies out upon the
ground, and it was at first supposed that
they had received serious injuries but be-
ing taken into the Mott Block DR.. Cochrane
was summoned, who pronounced the
wounds superficial an not dangerous. Mrs
Ogsbury suffered from a considerable con
fusion over the right eye while Mrs. Ford
had a similar one over the left eye. In
neither case was the skull fractured. and
fortunately the child escaped entirely unin
jured. Their carriage was only slightly
damaged, while the Chinaman's horse
turned down Alameda street and ran until
the wagon behind him was a wreck from
collisions and overturn, though the China
man was more scared than hurt.
