I've bet Ave dollars that you will

former had those little ordinary latches
that are drawn across under clip and
are known (in the profession) as the

excited no special emotion in our mex

supposed that they we're like other peo-
ple's fastenings; the same builder had
put up the entire row Of houses, and all
were occupied by tenants who, If they
had any fear Of burglars, kept those
tremors to themselves. The back door
had rather rickety bolts, it struck US; but,
on the other hand, the front door-the
burglars favoritel entrance, as every one
knows--Wa massively barred, chained
and double locked. SoWe possessed our

A SINGLE TAX.

We have received from the "Single Tax
Society" of this city a circular which con-
tains some excellent suggestions. We copy
a paragraph which reads as follows:
DO WE WANT BOOM IN SAN FRANCISCO?
Not a boom in san lots, but boom in bus-
ness, in building and manufacturing and legiti-
male enterprise Of every kind? IL we do, if we
want 10 maze work plenty and business brisk,
ana place our city Oh solid basis Of prosperity
let Us abandon tie stupid plan OF taxing Industry
and enterprise.
Unquestionably taxes in this city and State
are double what they ought to be. If sim
gle tax were established, as the society de-
sires, with Buckley and his lambs in power,
we are apprehensive that taxes would be so
exec ssiye that land would become nearly
worthless. If, however, the Constitution
of the State were changed, so that lands
could not be taxed more than certain er-
centage, say not even one-half what they
now are made to pay, no person would OBJ
ject to a single tax. Again, HE CALL has
never favored the collection of an Oppres-
siye license tax levied upon all descriptions
of business, for such an arrangement neces-
states horde of aX-eaters. If, however.
a tax were levied upon every description of
corporation, THE CALL believes that nearly
money enough could be collected from that

CASH AND CONTINGENT.

Two street railroad companies have bills
in the Massachusetts Senate providing for
a charter to construct an elevated railroad
The franchise asked for is SO valuable that
there is a sharp contest between two COM
panies to see which shall get it. One COM
pany is known as the - West End " and the
other as "The Peoples" The efforts Of
the two companies to secure the franchise
have assumed such a character that the
Massachusetts Senate had to create an In
vestgating Committee to inquire into
charges against members of its own body.
II appears from the evidence that Senator
Fassett undertook to manage the thing for
the Peoples Company. Senator Fassett, in
cooperation with a Mr.. Hagar, lobbyist,
made a conditional agreement to control
ten Senatorial votes for the lump sum of
$4,000 Senator Fassett, in imitation of
the methods Of San Francisco politician
who, three or four years ago, had charge of
a Senatorial contest, wanted to handle
the money himself. The negotiation
went SO far that a meeting between the
managing Senator and tile moneyed men of
the Peoples Company was arranged, but
the witness who stated these facts was not
allowed to be present at the meeting. 1t
appears from another witness, whose mem
DRY was somewhat defective, that no bar
gain was effected. The truth seemed to be
that the company persisted in making the
payment contingent upon the passage Of
their bill. They we're not willing to pay
for votes that did not produce results. The
West End Company pursued a different
policy. They used cash in place of prom
ises. One of the witnesses testified that a
small amount of money accomplished more
than large amount OF promises. Senator
Fassett himself was an example OF the
efficacy of the cash-in-hand policy A day
or two after the meeting at which he had
expressed the belief that he could control
ten Senators lie sent his lobbyist note to
the effect that he had concluded to go with
the West End people. Another witness
testified that on Monday morning the Peo-
pies Company had the assurance of twenty
four votes in the Senate, and the next day
the West End people had all Of them. The
cash was telling against the contingent
The reader should bear in mind that when
political brokers offer to deliver a certain
number Of votes they generally do so on a
venture. They have not promises or as
surances of any kind, but think that among
a large body they can buy up proportion
The testimony before the committee would
indicate tHdI INeHty-lOul OtHdlOTS accepted
the highest Offer whereas it is probable
that but small proportion Of the twenty
four had given the assurance the broker
claimed to have secured. He was taking
chances in the hope of getting hold of lot
of money. Scandalous bills are often car
ried by the votes of few purchasable
members. A large majority vote ON either

SOUND

People will read with considerable satis-
faction the decision of Judge Sawyer in
the cases of Chinese who claimed that,
owing to their nativity, they could not get
Justice in State court, ard on the strength
Of that claim asked that the complaints
against them be tried in the Federal court.
The petition was denied, and the Chinese
sent back to the State court Any other
decision would have been lamentable. 1t
would have removed Chinese from the
jurisdiction Of the State courts. 1t
would have been said that, while the
laws Of the State apply to natives
and foreigners, except Chinese, the latter
might seek the shelter of the Federal
courts. The Chinese in custody were
charged with having lottery tickets in their
possession, in violation of a State law. The
law applies 10 everybody else, and this de-
cision makes it apply to Chinese. The
cases were taken to the Federal court ap-
parently not on the ground that the Chi
uese could not get fair treatment in the
State courts, but on the ground that fair
treatment would be fatal to them, 1t Will
now be possible to punish a Chinaman for
crime or misdemeanor upon conviction by
the same law that Furnishes white men.
