TAXES ISSUE WITH JONES.
A Citizen Who Doesn't Think Sacramen
tans are SiIurians.


tans are Silurians.
A citizen writes as follows in reply to
recent criticism of Sacramento methods !:
II read Mr.. Jones letter in your last
Sundays issue. Like others of late that
have been put to press by strangers who
are not posted in the city's management of
its financial affairs, he jumps into the mid
die of puddle and claims the privilege
without mineing matters, of talking plainly
to the citizens of Sacramento. 1t is truly
wonderful what Mr.. Jones can see, after
ten minutes walk in Sacramento, and
he must notice the change brought about
by his withdrawing his trade from Sscra-
mento after his two or three years in Ell
Dorado and Placer counties
Mr.. Jones says he came to California in
the early fifties; was miner in Ell Dora
do and Placer counties, but left the coun.
try thlrty-two years ago; consequently he
was only about two or three years in Cali
fornia. Mr.. Jones says the citizens of Sac
ramento lack enterprise, and, in fact, every
trait conclusive to the prosperity of city.
Sacramento citizens never did believe in
empty booming business any more than
man believes in living on climate or wind
pudding.
Probably Mr.. Jones accumulated wealth
rapidly during his short sojourn in Cali
fornia, which was very easy matter to do
in the early fifties. But he don't seem TO
have had the grit to part with some of his
money in prospecting to develop more
mines or hunt a place of business like Sac
ramento or San Francisco and invest and
stay by the country. Oh, mol he takes
what he got and leaves entirely. But in
about thirty-two years pays Sacramento
visit and accuses the citizens of a lack of
energy and enterprise.
He seems to forget that the people of
Sacramento have had many vicissitudes of
flood and fire to encounter in past years,
and does not give them credit for what they
have accomplished. They put their shout
ders to the wheel, raised the city and built
levees. and when sister towns have had the
like distress, the citizens of Sacramento
never waited till asked for help, but went
out loading and forwarding provisions,
clothing, beds and bedding to the field of
distress before the unfortunates hardly lad
time to realize their situation.
Does that show lack of enterprise,
energy and sympathy? If it does then
many persons are oft their bases. Not
withstanding, there is room for severe criti-
cism about the city's financial affairs. on
which l don't think Mr.. Jones is posted
To find the cause we ought to go to the
very root of the evil, and Mr. Jones is 8
very long way from it when he starts in,
after ten minutes walk, with the sweep
ing rebuke that the citizens of Sacramento
city lack energy and enterprise" R. +.

THE zEIGLER.ELKus ROW.
Neither of the Parties Seem to Agree a
f6af lio faiI

Neither of the Parties Seem to Agree as
to the Details.
There are two widely different sides to
the Zeigler-Elkus trouble-wb wound
up yesterday in the issuance of warrant
for Zeigler's arrest for battery.
Elkus gives his version of the affair as
follows: He was walking up K street, near
Seventh, with two young men, on the way
to make deposit in proposed match be-
tween two amateur ball teams. Referring
to one ofthe clubs, Elkus remarked to his
friends that they were bum players" The
next thing that Elkus heard was a voice
behind him calling out vile name. Elkus
looked about and replied that the man
from whom the voice proceeded was AN
other" and continued on with his friends
When the young men got to Sixth street,
on h, the same man who had called the
name came up and demanded to know
of Elkus why he had referred to him as
bum player" etc. Elkus denied having
made such remark, but the man insisted
that he had. The man, who was George
Zeigler, and who was accompanied by his
brother, then drew OF with a cane and
struck Elkus across the eyes. Zeigler
struck second time. Zeigler's brother
then seized Elkus around the neck from
the rear and held him while George con.
tinued to WELD his cane.
Manager Zsigler says the affair was as
follows: II was sitting in front Of the
Golden Eagle HOTEL he said, when sew
eral young fellows came along. l was
conyersing with some friends at
the time. and did not notice the young
fellows until one of them pointed
at me and said to the other. There's one
Of the bum ball players now. | replied,
There is no use of calling me that ard
they walked off. ! didn't want TO have
any disturbance around the hotel, but still
thought they had gone out of their way to
| insult me. So, taking my brother with me, l
followed the party and overlook them at
Sixth street. Stepping up to Elkus |
tapped him spn the shoulder and said,
Look here, my friend, if you have no time
for 3 ball-player. pass him by--donit insult
him. | thought that if he was a
gentleman be would apologize, and did
not expect any trouble. Instead, however.
ne turned on me, and with the swsgger of
a hocdlum said: We'll, what if did insult
you; what are you going to do about ii?'
This caused me to lose my temper, and |
He turned to run and gave
him parting rap on the back with my
cane, which, you see, is little light one
that would not hurt anybody. Ny
brother did not take any hand whatever
ia the affair. 1 may have applied some
| epiihet to Elkus in my excitement, but ]
was so mad that l didn't know
what ] was doing. regret that the affair
happened, but still / think he was to
| blame more than /, and don't consider
that owe him any apology. That is why
/ refused to apologize and avoid arrest"

In the Prussian Diet the upper House
has adopted resolution calling upon the
Government to propose measures to remedy
the "evir of the presence of children of
Jewish parents in the public schools. The
idea is suggested that Jews be excluded
from the schools, but there is no sugges-
ton that the same race shall be exempt
from taxation for the support of the
schools. The Diet appears to think that
it is not wise policy to promote the intelli-
gence of all the people, no matter what
their religious faith may be. Suppose
that in this land of tolerance in thought,
speech and faith, thsre should be adj
vanced the proposition to exclude from the
public schools all the children of Catholic,
of Presbyterian, or of foreign-born parents? ?
What a righteous protest would 60 up
from the people of all the land how the
citizens, who appreciate the inestimable
blessings of free government, would, if
necessary, rush to arms to defeat the real
ization of such a scheme of intolerance.

IT certainly looks as if that colossal
crank, George Francis Train, would make
his trip around the world in sixty-four
days, as he promised to do. He arrived in
New York Saturday, and at this time is
whirling westward for the Pacific by
special train, with all the probabili-
ties in his favor of completing
his whirl about the globe in the shortest
time ever made. This man has certainly
travelled with a rush, and, with all his
exaggeration, wild and frantic bulletins
issued in nearly every port at which he
touched, has about accomplished feat
that throws Jules Vernes romantic story
in the shade, and lowers the record of
Nelly Bly, and Miss Bisland from ten to
fifteen days. If Train has accomplished
nothing else in this world, he has served
to infinitely amuse the people by his
vagaries, his jargon, and his utter and
amazing disregard for the ordinary facts
of experience.
