WAsHrseroS. September 6th.-General
Tom Brown, of Indiana will on Monday
next introduce, by request, a most curious
petition in the House. It is petition
praying that power be given the petitioner
to sue the President of the United States
for libel. 1t is the work of Charlotte Smith,
whe has gained considerable notice as a
friend of the workingmen, and particularly
of late by her zeal in the cause of Mrs.
Moore O'Neill. Mrs. Snith is the champion
ef Mary Ann Dougherty, whose PEN
sion bill the President vetoed on the ground
that she was disrepalable character, hav-
ing been arrested seventeen times. This
charge of the President Mrs. Dougherty
emphatically denies, and to have
her wrongs righted went to the
Women's Union here and laid the
case before them, inviting the clos
est investigating. Mrs. Smith took
hold of the case, and stated to-day that she
bad made personal search of the records
of the Police Court of the city, where the
arrests are said 10 have been made. She
states that in only one instance does she
ind that there has been q Mary Ann
Dougherty arrested for any cause This
wss twenty years ago. Mrs. Dougberty,
she therefore thinks, has a perfect right to
obtain damages.
The petition is a very clevery- y-worded
affair. 1t puts its case on the broad ground
that all citizens of the United States are
created free and equal, and that public
Office, 10 matter how high, should not pro-
tect even the President for acts done to the
injury of any citizen, no matter how lowly

The demand for cheaper coats

TIE rapidity with which yellow fever
spread in Jacksonville, Florida, proves
according to all the medical authorities
that the local sanitary conditions were so
bad as to invite an epideasic. As ore dis
zinguished member of the National Board
of Health puts it: Jacksonville and
plenty Of other places were ripe for the
pest, and its ravages IRE not at ali surpris-
ing" The exemption California has en-
ioyed from pestilcnce is due. IN very
large measure, TO the strong winds that
prevail for some period Of time in each
week. Nevertheless, the fact should not
render us blind to the need of increased
sanitary precautions. The State is rapidly
settling, and as population becomes more
dense, travel greater and eur commanica-
tion with Oriental ports more rapid and
frequent, the necessity fer enforcement CT
proper sanitation in towns and cities be-
comes imperative. We ought not to y7ait
until fixed interests in sewerage, drainage,
etc, becomes so great that change viii be
difficult. Now is the time, of all others,
to compel towns, new end old, to adopt eff
fective drainage systems, and to dispose of
the garbage and the ofal of their COM
munities by better system than that of
cesspool deposition, or drainageeof sewer
matter into sections that will thereby be
rendered unhealthful and disease breeders.
We ought by law to compel all towns and
cities to dispose of garbage and filth by
cremation. 1t hes been demonstrated in
Europe and in The United States TO be
more economic than any other system.
The refuse becomes very largely its own
fuel, and the remaining ash IS found to be
among the best Of fertilizers. Garbage
cremation does not poison the soil OF
saturate it with flth, and cause it to give
off nozious gases. It dees not taiat
the atmosphere, and it is not total waste
as IS a sewage system. In most places il
California garbage is hauled away from
centers Of population a, short distance
dumped into low places and intermingled
with earth, and in some cases, but in most
instances, LEFT to the action Of the elements
a more wasteful and dangerous system
could not be devised, except that known as
the "cesspool plan" Both must be aban.
doned in California sooner or later, and
cremation substituted. The latter has sue
ceeded wherever tried, and is the one and
only certain method of destroying all
POISONOUS emanations due TO decaying
organic matter.

UNDER the guise and protection of so
called Athletic Club" prize fighting is
now permitted in San Francisco, and there
appears to be no attempt whatever to stop
it. The gloves used are mere shams, and
actually enable the wearer to do more
damage to his opponents head and body
than if he used bare knuckles. Those who
gain admission to the Club exhibitions pay
from S5 to SIS each, and the participants
in the fights are given large purses to
make beasts of themselves. So far as that
is concerned, however, no sympathy should
be wasted upon them-the vital interest
in the matter is the enforcement of L e
law. These Athletic Club contests are an
nounced as flights not "boxing matches"
and they are in every respect regular
bruising matches or prize fights, precisely
such as the law prohibits. Yet, though
the newspapers have no difficulty in OBJ
tanning full reports of the affairs" the
officers of the law seem to be unable and
indisposed TO interfere and enforce the pro-
hibitiyc statute Of the State. Let San
Francisco next open up cock-pits and
bull-rings under some high-sounding
title, and thus encourage the taste for
brutal and inhuman exhibitions. Such
action would be no more outrageous than
that OF the city authorities encouraging
the prise-ring combats.

Grand Army Men Ruled Out OF the Dis
trict Police Force.


Copyright. 1885, By ae California Associated Iress.
WASHINGTON, September 9Th. = Grand
Army circles here are very much exercised
over the decision of the District Commits
sioners, made public to-day, to the effect
that they cannot make appointments to the
police force from the ranks of the Grand
Army OF the Republic, because the men,
bers are too old. They base their action on
past unsatisfactory experiments. They say
the report is the outgrowth OF q complaint
made by Meade Post that the rule of the
Commissioners defeated the intention of
Congress in enacting the army and navy
clause, as 1t practically excludes soldiers
and sailors of the.lste war from appoint
ment. Meade Post will not let the matter
rest here, however, but will go to Congress
and try to have the decision of the Com
misSioners revoked.
This decision Of the Commissioners, who
are Democratic appointees of Mr.. Cleve-
lard. ia but another evidence of how
friendly the party is 10 the soldiers.
