An Awful Ride

J. G. S@igert, of Cincinnati, is stopping

story of a marvellous escape from death. ar

broken ltg and badly bruised body.
Mr. Sgigert left Denver 90 u night train

by voluntary contributions. That there
may be perfect equality and no distinctions,
even in variation in the prices Of seats, the
question whether one shall sit in the par
quet or in the highest gallery will be
decided by lot. If the theater is a success
the intention is to establish similar insti
tutions in all the leading cities Of Ger
many.
While this party contest goes on, the
Government of the Emperor manifests no
special concern about it. 1t sees clearly
that such quarrel will inure to its own
benefit, and make the people at large all
the more favorable to the Kaiser's reform
propositions, and his schemes for anchor
ating the condition of the working classes
When the Socialistic fight reaches its
greatest hight, it is probable that the Gov
eminent will intervene and pass measures
to control the Sociaiistic press, and to muz-
zle the ultra-reyolutionary Socialists. If
there arises any special danger from the
PRONUNCIATION of the doctrines Of the ultras,
it need not surprise the world to hear of
more repressive anti-Socialistic DEGREES be-
ing issued than those which tomorrow ex-
pire after twelve years of existence.

GOVERNOR WATERMAN, IN response to
communication from the Anti-Lottery
League of Louisiana, has written to the
Attorney-General letter requesting that
official to direct the law officers of the sew
eral counties to enforce the constitution
and laws of California against lotteries and
the sale of lottery tickets. 1t is commend
able action on the part of the Executive.
But the thought will present itself that
the officials of the State and counties and
the citi have over and over again been
appealed to to enforce these laws for many
years, but that save some spasmodic efforts
in San Francisco, with occasional success,
nothing whatever has been done in that
direction. Lotteries by the score are
drawn in this State daily, and lottery
tickets by the hundred thousand are openly
sold, but save in the metropolis and once
in Oakland, there have been made no eff
forts by police, District Attorneys or Grand
Juries, to check or even rebuke the evil.
The law prohibiting the advertising of lot
terry schemes is as plain as a pike staff, but
the press of the State, in large part, has de-
fed the law and violated it with the ut
most nonchalance. 1t is, therefore, not
especially to the credit of the State that
official activity should be the result, at
this late day, of an appeal from the people
of sister State. However, it has been
made and very properly responded to by
the Governor, and it now remains to be
seen what will be the effect of the official
declaration.

VIOLATING THE LAW.

While the editions of papers violating
the law are seized in Cincinnati and in
Alabama and the publishers are charged
with crime and held to bail, there appears
to be official paralysis prevailing in
San Francisco. Monday one of the lead
ing daily papers of that city came out with
a column advertisement Of Mexican lot
terry, and it must be assumed that
the paper was sent through the
mails to subscribers as usual. This con-
temptuous defiance of the law is amazing,
especially on the part of Journal that is
forever prating about the dignity of the
law and the necessity of eultivating respect
for it.
The anti-lottery law provides that no
letter, postal card, or circular concerning
any lottery, so-called gift concerns, or
other similar enterprise, offering prizes de-
pendent upon lot or chance Tor concerning
schemes devised for the purpose Of obtain
ing money or property under false pre-
tenses), and no list of the drawings at any
lottery or similar scheme, and no lottery
ticket or part thereof, and no check, draft,
bill, money, postal note or money order for
the purchase of any ticket, tickets or part
thereof, or of any share or any chance in
such lottery or gift enterprise, shall be car
ried in the mail or delivered at or through
any postoffice or branch thereof or by any
letter carrier: nor shall any newspaper
circular, pamphlet or publication of any
kind containing any advertisement of any
lottery or gift enterprise of any kind offer
ing prizes dependent upon lot or chance,
or containing any list Of prizes awarded at
the drawings Of any such lottery or gift en-
terprise, whether said list is of any part of
or all the drawing, be carried in the mail
or delivered by any Postmaster or letter
carrier.
1t is made misdemeanor, punishable by
not exceeding $500 fine or Imprisonment
for not more than one year, or both, for
any person to deposit or cause to be de-
posted anything to be carried through the
mails in violation of the preceding section,
or that is forbidden to be carried through
the mails by the Act. Violators of the
law may be tried and punished either in
the district of mailing or in the district to
which the matter is mailed or sent.
This ought to be sufficiently explicit to
suggest to the officials Of the Government
in San Francisco in what direction their
duty lies.

CUR MUNICIPAL FARCE.


Bad government OF city is deplorable-
ridiculous government is worse The
Mayor, Police Judge and Chief OF Police
of Sacramento are ex-oficio Police Com
nissloners. City Trustees Mclaughlin
and Wolf constituting majority of that
Board, en- Monday refused to allow the
salaries of the Mayor, Police Judge and
Chief of Police for September because, as
was alleged, gaming was not suppressed
during fair week. And the same order
was made as to the salaries of the police
force.
Surprise is warranted that these two OBJ
'stinate Trustees did not order the officials
whose salaries they locked to be ham,
strung, drawn and quartered. They have
as broad authority to do that as to do what
they did. They have made the city of
Sacramento ridiculous in the eyes of the
whole State; they have made our Munich
pal Government a screaming farce; they
have assumed judicial functions and have
practically tried, convicted and executed
three officials elected by the people, with
out hearing or the form and ceremony of
proceeding that is accorded the meanest
petty larcenist.
Whether the Police Commissioners
could havestopped gaming or not; whether
It is their duty to do more than issue
orders for its suppression; whether they
are bound to constitute themselves public
prosecutors, or to assume the roles Of police
voundsmen-these things cut no figure in
the case. The laws against gaming are on
the statute books, and it is the legitimate
Office of any one who chooses to swear out
warrants for offenders under those laws.
The laws furnishing officials for neglect of
duty, or for willful refusal to do it, are also
written int, the codes, and the mode of
7mpeaching derelict officers is clearly set
forth But it is not given to the Trustees
OF the city to try and punish any one.
Nor have they the power to set up new
penalties and impose unheard Of forfeit
ares. The salaries Of the three officers
named are not paid to them for service as
Police Commissioners, but as Mayor, Po-
lice Judge and Chief of Police respect
lively.
But all these things the solid two coolly
ignore, and proceed, in the exercise of
,nwouted power, to withhold salaries in
punishment for alleged dereliction of duty,
concerning which no complaints were filed
and no proofs were offered, even assuming
that the Trustees could take cognizance of
either.
The city government of Sacramento, as
dominated by these two obstinate and silly
Trustees, has become a laughing stock and
by-word, and we shall not be surprised
to presently hear of the whole miserable
farce being seized upon by Hoyt as the
keynote for one of his mos ridiculous low
level iarces.
