INSTALLMENT PLAN.
Trouble Between Merchant and
Purchaser.

The case of B. Adler against Mrs. Jennie
Boul0n. an action to recover possession of a
large quantity of furniture, or the value
thereof, S1G54 so, and also $1,000 damages
for detention, was on trial before Judge
Wallace yesterday.
A. ArOnson, who had assigned his claim
to plaintiff, testified that the defendant had
her house comfortably furnished when she
bought from him said furniture on the in
stallment plan; that she slowed away her
own furniture and bought his goods with the
idea OF never paying for them. He after
ward made her return to him all the articles
he could find in her house, and he has been
| unable to recover goods TO the value Of
S254 3d.
Mrs. Boulon's testimony was to the effect
that Aronson had insisted upon her buying
all the goods she wanted and she could pay
him when she pleased. She declared that
| the furniture she slowed away was loaned
| to her by friend. In dramatic manner
she related how she was routed out of her
bed one day by Aronson and two Deputy
SheTiffs, who very quickly took nearly every
thing from the house. 1.-The next day was
| ill in bed and Aronson came into the house
and made me get up so that he could take
the bed away. l would have paid him
every cent if he had not acted so improperly
with me-"
When asked where she would get the
money, Mrs. Boulon replied that Arons0n
had threatened TO prosecute her and force
her to pay damages; therefore she would not
give any information about her financial
affairs. She confessed to having her furni-
ture seized in Oakland at one time by fur
| niture-dealer, and remarked that it was none
of the counsefs business if there were sew
eral judgments now against her.
Deputy Sheriff Wolf testified that when
he went to Mrs. Boulon's residence, at 51l
Montgomery avenue, on October LIST to place
a man in charge, she told him that she had
sold all the goods to Mrs. Carter, a neighbor.
The court gave Judgment for plaintiff
without damages.

HOUNDS AND HAREs.
The Occidental Conrsing Club will meet
this evening to make final arrangements for
Its next race meeting, which will take place
on the 1st OF January. The Golden West
Coursing Club will also meet this evening to
nominate and draw for the races which will
take place next Sunday.
The eleventh race for the Oakland Canoe
CLUB trophy will take place on the Oakland
estuary next Sunday afternoon. The canoes
have been divided into classes, first, second
and third, in order that all might have fair
opportunity to win the handsome trophy
which was offered by the club. 1t is now
certain that AL Blow. owner of the Gypsy,
will win the prize. He is eleven points
ahead of any of his opponents. The high
est number of points that can be scored by
any canoeist is five at each race. SO if Al
does not participate in either of the two
races to come he will still have one point TO
spare to win the trophy. However, he pro-
poses to take part in both races and make as
large record as he can Commodore Blow
and George Warder will have their usual
brush next Sunday.

THE "MAJoRITY" DEMAND.

Abstract Right of Woman to Represent
Herself in the Government.
Editor jFomda'S Column. Morning Call ::
Mr.. Z. p. Cook is friend to women, and
has spoken many honest, earnest words for
them and their acknowledgements. The criti-
cisms of such as he are valuable and worthy
of respect; but man can hardly under
stand how almost impossible it would be for
omen, unorganized to any great extent, to
secure the names of numerical majority to
anything, and L doubt whether it could
be done by men possessing party organiza-
tons and official power. The abstrac1righ
of woman to represent herself in the great
CORPORATION called government, which con-
trolls all her earthly interests by protecting
or not protecting them, is conceded; and
when we become Christian enough to simply
do what we know is right our political mud
die will clear up. Every just law on our
statute-book is an incarnation OF some
principle OF abstract right, yet l doubt
whether the signature OF majority of men
could be obtained to secure any one of these
laws had they never been enacted and such
signatures were essential to their enact
ment. Had there never been laws to pun
lsh theft; had the Bible for ages been in
terpreted to read
LET HIM THAT STEALS, STEAL"
Leaving off the mo more; had we ALWAYS
encouraged stealing unless it was accom-
panied by cruelty, as we do the appropri-
ating Of a wife's earnings by her husband
had we been trained to believe that rights
derend on physical prowess, and it is quite
a smart thing for the strong to rob the
weak. If any one Is weak 1t is good enough
for him; had the robbed been for genera
tiOns in the power of the robber, dependent
for food. clothing. the society of their chill
dreD, every opportunity to earn, some
times constrained by fear, often by affection
for such benevolent robber as Robin
Hood think a paper circulated among the
dcfrauded would hardly be signed by the
majority. The c0wardly would fear be-
cause 1t is a new thing; the selfish would
count their favors and prefer not to
lose "the bird in hand" no matter how
bedraggled, for two sin the bush" no matter
how gorgeous; The ignorant would suspect
some trap, and see no connection between
the. abstract right and their own interests.
and the miserable would not dare to offend
their masters. No good law could be OBJ
tanned that way. The majority of women
are not opposed to woman suffrage, very
lew are active opponents, but
THE MASS OF WOMEN,
AS OF men. are passive on matters which
they regard IS distractions; the wolf Is

question to understand that the ballot is q

The ballot is peacemaker;, school.
master. the great guarantee" but few
men understand that; few know anything Of
government as science; few could give
any reason for their particular vote. or
know thing Of political principles.
Women know little Of politics, have always
been taught that it is not their
business. but that it is disgrace for
women TO interest themselves in the filthy
pool Of which voters are SO proud;
women see only politics as presented by
parties or the men of their families, and it Is
wonder that SO many Of them are inter-
ested and have discovered that the ballot IS
the connecting link between the home and
the nation, and that the nation carries the
h0me-that what endangers the one inl-
ptrlls the other. To-day there are more III
telligent. educated women than men-more
OF high purpose-though they owe their
awakening to noble men, who have ever
been our true friends, and
HAD WOMEN THE BALLOT
Such men would not be doomed 10 private
life. We can hardly think it true that "All
which most men want to know is, first, that
a majority of women think the extension Of
the ballot to them as class would be wise"
1t is true OF some, but not of the average

with each other, partition off the spois, and
the average voter casts the ballot fixed
by his Boss. Right, the interest, of any one,
are not to-day matters OF political con-
sidera'ion. The prominent educated women
of America aid England are as rule
women snffrasists, the ignorant and the
frivolous as rule are not, some good in
tellisent women oppose, but usually
they have never read or heard
the sentiments of representative suffrag.sts.
The same women write beautiful essays
lauding Isabella, Elizabeth or Victoria, and
want everything that suffragists do, but they
have lived in history or science and take
their tone from literature which never reeog-
nicer isms until they have succeeded Had
schools been closed to women OF men until
a majority wanted them open they would
be closed to-day. The same with litera-
ture, public meetings, professions. yea, even
the street and the dinner table. Under
favorable conditi tons a majority has been
secured, about four hundred women of our
town of eighteen hundred did once petition
for franchise, and-our representative voted
against it. No question is ever settled
except on the basis Of right. that is the real
test, land by that sign we shall conquer.
