IT WAS splendid showing which Dele
gate GAME presented to the Senate Judi
ciary committee on Wednesday against
the PADDOCK bill to confer upon the gov
ernor the power to appoint about all the
county officers still elective. Our CORES
pondent's synopsis of the argument which
appeared in Thursdays HERALD made it
plain that the argument was powerful
one, and unanswerable. 1t should kill the
bill, and will probably have that effect, if
there were ever any serious intention to
pass it. 1t would be a queer committee, to
say the least, that would recommend the
bill for passage after listening to Mr..
CANES argument.
1t ought not to be necessary to have to
protest against the passage of such bill.
There ought not to be men in public places
mean enough to propose such Infamous
legislation. Senator PADDOCK introduced
the bill, it is believed, at the request of
Governor THOMAS. AT any rate, THOMAS
in his annual report to the secretary of
the interior, asked for the power which
PADDOCK proposes to confer, and the rela-
tions between the two men suggest that
there was mutual understanding between
them as to the scheme.

ANOTHER NEVADA SCHEME.

In her poverty and distress Nevada is
now reaching out for that part of California
which lies east of the Sierras There are
four or five counties in the strip, and some
of them are thrifty and progressive, while
the poorest is in better condition than the
best of Nevada counties. 1t is argued in
the papers that the interests of the noun
tain counties of California are identical
with those of Nevada, and are unlike those
of the former state; that California does
little to assist the Sierra district, and above
all, it is urged that Nevada needs the
assistance of these counties much more
than does the rich and prosperous golden
state.
1t is really pitiable, the condition that
Nevada is in, and the schemes for relief
and salvation which are appearing all the
time in the papers tell Of the great
distress and desperation which exist First
there is an earnest struggle to annex
Idaho, the sagebrush statesmen plotting,
scheming and bargaining with the politi-
clans of the "gem of the mountains to
bring about the union. 1t is cleyerly
pointed out how the marriage will result in
size. if not in population, in the west The
Idaho people object, because they want a
state of their own, and do not like the idea
of being attached to the decrepit old crea-
ture. Then it is proposed to sgobble,
Utah by way of annexation. Here is the
richest, the most populous and most pros
porous of the territories, and it is said tina
Utah would put Nevada upon her feet in
fine style. Two things stand in the way:
one is the unanimous objection of the Utah
people to the unholy alliance, and the other

of the sagebrush politicians that in

THE PROPERTY TO DECIDE.

There are those who think or say the
city council and not the property-owners
should decide the question of making pub
lie improvements. They argue that II the
people control in the matter the improve
ments will not be made, property-owners
voting against them in order to avoid the
expense, while if the council decides per
sonal interest will be less likely to influence
the Judgment. THE HERALD has been
asked how many streets it thinks would be
paved if the lot-owners were to pass upon
the proposition. Our answer is, just as
many as should be paved. The owners of
she abutting lots are the best judges of the
necessity, the wisdom and their ability to
pave the street, and the decision should be
leftentirely to them, the majority to rule.
1t has ever been found in these matters
that the Judgment of the majority was in
favor of the improvement where
the improvement was needed and
the people were able to pay for it. Only
when the property-owners have been
zoo poor to pay for what was asked
has the improvement been voted down.
If it were proposed to pave
a side or unimportant street, the traffic on
which was light and would not be mater
tally increased by a good road, the chances
are that the proposition would be voted
Gown. Under such circumstances, would
1t be proper for the council to order the
pavement and compel the property owners
to pay the costa THE HERALD thinks it
would not only not be proper, but would be
unjust and wrong.
If the Council were to decide in these
matters there might come a time when
very great hardship would be inflicted, for
we all know that the best of wisdom does
not at all times characterize the judgment
of counc lis, nor is there any assurance
that responsible, trustworthy men will
always sit in the municipal legislature
We can readily imagine the return of q
council, the majority of the members OF
which will be non-property- owners, de.
void of interest in the city, and little less
than adventures. The way in which
elections can be manipulated in this
rity, it wouldn't be difficult tt
choose as councilmen toughs and thieves
or turn the city over to dolts and scrubs
Under such circumstances, how easy {
matter it would be to despon and plundel
rich and poor alike In the name Of publ,
improvements!
The owners of the land may be safely
trusted to decide wisely as to street pave
ment and other improvements, and theil
Judgment, in nine cases out of ten, will b,
better than that Of the coun I'll. Each stree
should have the right to decide for itself
the majority to rule in this as in other pun
lie matters. Then the hardships, if an,
shall result, will be reduced to the mini

Now SAN FRANCISCO is going to drive
the Chinese from the city, compelling all
the Mongolians to reside within certain
district on the outskirts of town. The
Chinese quarter which, by the way, is in
the very heart of the city, is to be cleaned
up and "civilized." Having done this,
freeing the city from one of its greatest
evils and worst features, San Francisco
would do well to get rid of another filth
district, namely: the one which adioins the
Chinese. However, as the prostitutes are
mostly Caucasians it is too much to expect
that they will be disturbed.

IT IS possible, though people who are
familiar with the subject will not regard it
as probable, that the German Emperor's
labor conference will devise a practical
scheme for the adjustment of the constantly
recurring troubles between employers and
employees. Undoubtedly schemes will be
advanced and advocated, but their practi-
cability will be doubted. The conference
seems to be little else than an imperial
whim. The young Emperor wants to be
talked about. and ever since his Accession
has been doing boyish things to keep him
self uppermost in the minds of the people.

AT THE RINK LAST WIGHT.

New Haven Beats the SprlngAelds 10
to ga Large Audience-Good work
Done by the Homo Team.
A large audience witnessed the home team
defeat their big antagonists from Springfield
at the rink last night. From the time that
Hill made the frst goal in eight seconds un-
til the end of the playing time the Spring
field artists had no show with the "Scien-
lists" 1t wss hustling game, but little
too one-sided to be exciting. There were
large number of ladies in the gallery and
there seems to be an increase in the attend"
ance of the fair sex of late. FAN of the home
team hustled from beginning to end and
every man played his position to perfection.
Hill and, Connors rushed instead Of Hill and
Newcombe, as Archie has not yet recovered
from the injury he received at Springfield.
Hill made some of the prettiest goals by
back-handed drives that have ever Deen
made in the local rink. he worked hard and
rushed we'll with Connors. who also put up
| fine game and made some fine drives for the
| cage. Cooke kept up his good record and
proved to be stumbling block for the op-
posing rushers. eddie" 10 playing q great
center and no mistake. Phelan seemed to be
everyw around the cage and by his spry-
| ness
most all of the time. ''stub" guarded the
cage as only he is capable of doing, and al.
though he did not have very many stops they
were all difficult. The boys are playing
championship polo every game and by win
ming last night they are pretty solid in third
place. If the team puts up the game tonight
that they did last night they will not have
/ much trouble in downing the champions.
For the visitors Canavan did by far the best
| work. He was very fast and his blocking
and passing of the-ball could not be sur
passed. Roberts and MoPeck played pretty
poor polo and were clearly outplayed by Hill
and Connors. Murray played good at times,
but he had inclinations to be rough
several times. Lations made number
of good stops, but he has made q
better showing in the local rink than he
did last night Hill took the first rush,
drove the ball to the side of the rink, Jug
gled 1t by Canavsn and Gagged It by a backhand
shot. It was the play of the game. Cooke
made the next by carrying the ball unassisted
and pokinR 1t in. Connors made the next
by a hard drive on pass from Phelan. The
fourth and fifth were Gagged by Hill by good
drives. Springfield took big brace here
and McPeck Gagged the next by a good back
poking one in and the other by pretty side
shot. Hill Gagged the ninth and tenth goals
for New Haven by neat back-hand drive
and the other on a pass from behind the
cage by Connors. Connors made the next
by juggling the ball up the rink past Can.
AVIAN and put it in by neat back-handed
shot. Connors also made the next by carry
ing it out from in back of the cage and bang.

made by Hill by another fine back-handed
drive. The score:

"Thisves and robbers" is the latest epithet
applied by the league to Ward and his fol-
lowers. Judge O'Brien's decision is in ef-
feet that the league magnates robbed players
of their liberty by forcing them to sign q
contract without word of equity in it.
McPhee, the second baseman of the Gin
cinnatis, thinks that fourteen players are
enough for any club to handle Two catchers
are enough and three pitchers are all that
can be worked successfully. Too many
catchers get rusty from lack Of work, and
two good pitchers cen be worked alternately
without harm.
Captain Comiskey elbows his good sense in
deciding not to take the Chicago Brotherhood
team south this spring. The southern states
will be overrun with ball players for tho next

exchequers of some of them before they gel
back to the north.
