THRILLING WITH THE COURTS.

1t has become an abuse that should be at
once abated, to use the process of the
courts for the selfish ends of people who
do not intend to prosecute offenders they
have arrested. 1t is a common thing in
Sacramento, for instance, for people to be
arrested on warrants sworn out in the
name of "The People," charging them
with obstructi,g the highway, disturbing
the peace, battery, maintaining nuisances,
deadly assault, keeping disorderly houses,
frequenting places of criminal resort, and
so on, through long list of minor ofenses,
who are never prosecuted for them. The
arrest being made, the cease" fingers few
days-without complaint, in many cases,
having been fled-and then the peoples
representative moves for the dismissal of
the proceedings, either because the prose-
cutting witness refuses to appear, or because
the party offended says he has been "satis-
fed.n
Save in few cases where dismissal is
wise because the end of the law has been
achieved-this is all wrong. The People
are plaintiffs or COMPLIMENTS 1t is against
them that the ofiense charged bears; they
cannot be and are not satisfied without
judicial examination, except the peoples
attorneys in open Court confess it. The
practice referred to is a cat's-paw business
&c . hlac ~, oc
to accomplish revenges or carry out low
schemes at the expense of the tax-paying
community; it belittles the law and brings
our Courts into disrepute.
Only the other day fellow attempted
to blacken the character of a young girl in
this city who is blameless in her life, by
having her arrested on charge of vagran-
cyl When the case was called in Court, the
girls friends having rallied to defend her
the complainant failed to appear. The
case was continued twice, but the
schemer did not come forward, seeing that
he could not accomplish his unholy end:
with the girl. The proceeding was Their
dismissed. But while the girl and hel
friends were compelled to dance attend
ance in Court, and she was put to sham,
and the humiliation of arrest on charg,
of the meanest kind, the fellow who perse
cuted her still goes scot free, and it doe
not appear that the law has inspired an,
official to search for him and bring hin
forward to answer for contempt. If it i
not contempt of the Court we do not know
how our tribunals can maintain their dig
nifty.
We need change of policy in thes
matters. Men should be given to under
stand that if they prefer complaints the
must stand to them; that the Courts shall
not be used as instruments for selfish ends
that the name of "The People" shall nc
be employed to accomplish private re
yenges, or to enable any one to annoy an
persecute his fellow. The lower Courts {
this city, and of the whole country, ft
that matter, should by their conduct teac
the people that they are as much to
respected as Courts of broader jurisdiction
and that their processes are to be obeye
as fully and implicitly as the mandates
the Supreme tribunal.

STREET railway franchises, says the
Grand Jury of San Francisco, should be
put up at auction and sold to the highest
bidder. for the benefit of the public treas
ury. Right. At least one city in the
Union has adopted that policy, and with
excellent results. But the same recon-
mendation has been made in San Fran
cisco year after year for decade. 1t
amounts to nothing, and never will be
needed until the people rise to the level
of regarding city government as corpo-
rate matter, to be conducted for the bene-
fit of the incorporators and not for the
promotion of party and of bossism

tive. The President in his recent message /
has, we think, indicated his desire for o !
broader extension of the reciprocity policy, !
since ne evidently realizes the truth, that |
free list without reciprocity is unequal,
unjust and in violation of those economic |
principles which should underlie our
trade relations with foreign peoples.
Probably the President, were he not at the
head of the party chargeable with the Nc
Kinley bill, would more frankly express
himself.
But, freed from partisan trammels and
check-reiRs, the statesmen of the day can
explain true reciprocity if they would, and
prove it to be the best of protection. 1t is
by no means an involved question.
Let US see. The Mckinley bill proposes
By its free list to. let in certain articles
free, regardless of the relations between
the United States and countries producing
such untaxed articles. Let US suppose the
case TO be that of Brazil. Her chief staples
are sugar and coffee. She wants to buy
locomotives, cutlery, ETC., from us. We
put sugar, for instance, upon the free list.
Mr.. Blame comes in at this point with a
proposition that Brazil shall admit free to
her ports the goods that we make and that
she needs, or products we produce, and
which she does not, in compensation for
our admission of her sugar free. That is
we'll as far as it goes, but there is no senti-
ment in trade and never was, and to limit
reciprocity to Brazil and other Latin
American States is badly Gripping the
principle aud is nothing short of the alb.
surd.
Nearly all countries have protective
tariff of some kind, or TO some extent. II
is always set up to modify the effect of the
industries of one country upon another
So when we make tariff we necessarily
discriminate in favor of those things which
we can produce to the best advantage
We make low tariff; we establish a free
list, and in that list we should discrimi
nate in our own favor by placing it upon {
; basis of reciprocity. That is to say, fol-
favors we grant, let us demand compen
sating privileges for commodities we pro
duce to the best advantage. Thus the re
ciprocal policy becomes protective pol
icy, because we protect our export trad
by reciprocal relation with the natioi
that will give us the best showing in it
market.
So then reciprocity means that when
ever we take down the tariff wall on an
article, the country producing it and get
ting the benefit of it should give US a re
ciprocal benefit on something it does nc
produce, but which we have for export
and no exceptions should be made as t.
nations with which such relations shoul
be established. The question is, what
best to protect? We protect the expoI
by reciprocity; we protect local prductio
against foreign by protective tariff. TIL
9 one is the reverse of the other, but bot
$ look to the same end. Reciprocity, how
ever, is more just, gives better and broade
markets for all we wish to export-and "
n export nothing that we can sell to bette
y advantage at home. Under reciprocit
l. only do the unprotected products of tt
e country find some compensation in II
r, market it affords them abroad.

WHAT rs RECIPROCITY

In some quarters there is an evident dis
position, amounting to perversity, not to
understand what is meant by reciprocity, a
policy which is partly recognized in that
huge blunder, the tariff law of the present,
but is limited by it to sugar, molasses,
coffee. tea and hides, and is delayed in
operation until July, 1892, and is then de-
pendent upon the Judgment of the Execu-
