A POPLAR OUTCRY.
Point Lobos Residents Want the Deadly
Dummy Discontinued.

Point Lobos Residents Want the Deadly
Dummy Discontinued.
The Point Lobos Improvement Club has
petitioned the Board of Supervisors to re-
woke the franchise permitting the Geary
Street, Park and Ocean road to continue
running dummies on Point Lob0s avenue.
It says that the company pledged itself to
discontinue the dummies as soon as the
street was severed, graded and macaaam-
lied.
"We have every reason to believe con-
tinues the petition, THAT said company has
violated the pledge made to this city
and we are led to believe by every evidence
that 1t is said company's intention to con-
tinue to run the steam motors to the detri-
ment of property and the danger of life.
Said privilege has been enjoyed for the past
twelve years by said company. and during
that time they have killed eleven human
beings-the last one added to the list of
killed was on Sunday, September 13. 1891.
The running of the motors has destroyed
the popularity of Point Lob0s avenue as a
drive and deprecated property within a
large radius. The company has lagrantly
violated one of the sections of the Political
Code, which directly stipulateS that all loco
motives or steam dummies run in cities and
counties, or within city limits, shall be
manned by crew of two, consisting OF an
anpineer and fireman.

STATE DIVISION.

Hardly word was heard of State diYis
ion after the nomination of Markham until
the State Board of Equalization made its re-
cent raid on the property Of taxpayers both
in Los Angeles and San Francisco. Now
the Los Angeles papers are talking alb out
secession as remedy. Five of the counties
in which assessments are raised are in South
ern California. "This little tail of State"
says the Los Angeles Herald, cannot
wriggle much less wag, the dog. Let us
wriggle out into State of our own some
time" We would suggest to the Herald
that there are remedies worse than the dis
eases they are intended to cure. Let the
honest men of the State north and south
make stand against the boOdlers. Let us
work out our own salvation, with the grand
OLD State Of California as the reward of vic
tory. Without doubt the action of the State
Board has set us back for years. 1t has
created feeling in the southern counties
that the rights of minorities are not safe in
California. 1t has struck the immigration
Convention dumb in advance Of its meeting
We cannot urge people to come to this State
until we can give them an assurance of fair
treatment under the law. II State Board
of Equalization may raise 10000 just ASSESS
ments to punish the body of tax payers for
having permitted 100 assessments to remain
too low people in other States will naturally
ask themselves if there is anything in the
way of legal robbery that may not be done
in California.
The morning call., 1891-09-16
FARCICAL AND UNJUST.

The report of the Finance Committee of
the Board Of Supervisors on Monday night
declared the action Of the State Board of
Equalization farcical and unjust. The
board also passed a resolution directing the
Auditor to pay no attention to the 80 per
cent raise in the city assessment made by
the State board. This resolution ought not
10 have been needed. The almost uniform
practice has been not to change the city
assessment at the dictate of the State board.
The city levy is made upon the basis Of the
city assessment. There is no reason what
ever why any increase that may be ordered
for State purposes should apply to munich
pal purposes. The pretense upon which
the valuation Of taxable property in this
city is increased is that the city valuation is
below the average valuation throughout the
State. 1t is an arbitrary expression of
opinion. but made by a body which has
power to make it final. But it by no means
follows that the increased valuation should
be made the basis Of city taxes. 1t becomes
each day more clearly apparent that the
raise in the city assessment was the result
of a conspiracy on the part Of the gang of
buodlers who want to increase taxation
with or without the consent Of the tax
payers. This gang includes among its
active workers men and papers of both par
ties. 1t will be the business of the people
when the next municipal election takes
place to take the government out Of the con-
troll Of this gang

OUR CONTEMPORARY.

A friend who asserts that he is well
posted in relation to the Examiner press
room says that the quantity of paper used
has of late been considerably increased and
that large bundles are being sent. he does
not know where, but thinks to washhouses,
etc., to be used for wrapping paper Per-
haps it is just as well that Mr.. Hearsts
man Friday should be entrusted with money
to be expended in this way as to use 1t upon
yachts. This, however, is not our business,
but it shows that there is such thing as
throwing away paper in order to deceive the
public as to the real standing of news
paper THE CALL stated a few days ago
that il could print &c, 600 copies and upward
of a four-page paper per hour in an
emergency, and that every morning We
actually print q, 1000 per hour. We can put
to press four pages of the inside of The
CALL and work it off, and then work four
pages of the outside, containing the latest
news, and in three hours we should have
5000 complete copies of THE CALL. So
much for the falSitication OF the Examiner.

print three times as many copies of the EG-

EASILY TRAPPED.
Arrest of Counterfeiter From Across the
Bay.

Bay.
On Sunday evening Car 81 Of the Suffer-
street line, while standing at the ferries. was
boarded by smo0th-faced young man, who
entered into conversation with Conductor
Fox, and. after some desultory talk, intro
duced himself as E, T. Wallace, and stated
that he knew of a plan by which Fox could
greatly add to his wages.
The conductor made pretense of being In
accord with him Oh his scheme, and the
stranger told him he was dealer in coun-
terfeits OF money, and would furnish him
with a quantity of them, which tho latter
could work off in making change, Wallace
offering to furnish S4 for 81. As an earn
est of his intentions he gave Fox four coun-
terfeits of half-dolar pieces, and told him
that he would meet him on the following
evening and furnish him with more. He
also agreed to sell the counterfeitS at re-
duced rate if Fox would stand in and induce
other conductors to purchase them.
Fox informed the receiver and handed in
the counterfeit. The police were notified,
and on Monday evening detectives were on
Fox's car. AT the ferries Wallace jumped
aboard, greeted the conductor, and was
pounced upon by Detectives Byram and
Seymour. who took him to the Central
Police Station, and upon seachlng him
found twenty Eight c0unterfeitS of half
dollars on his person.
They also learned that their prisoner lived
in Oakland, and yesterday they searched his
room in the Geischen House in that city,
There they found a quantity OF counterfeits,
some crucibes and files, and knife coated
with plaster of Paris. No molds were
found, and the prisoner refused to state
where they were.
In the afternoon Wallace was turned over
to the United States authorities.

Supervisor Ellert, displeased with the
course pursued by the Fire Committee OF
the Board Of Supervisors in relation to the
purchase of hose for the Fire Department,
propounded the following question to City
Attorney burst:
First-Has the Board Of Supervisors power 10
purchase 5000 feet OF Eureka cotton hose for
the Fire Department without advertising for pro-
poSals?
Second-Is II the duty Of the board, when cot
ton hose Is required for said department, to ad-
Yertise tor proposals irrespective of particular
brands as 10 Invite competition and simply
provide therein for such tests as may be proper
to demonstrate the character and quality OF the
hose tc be furnished?
Mr. burst replied that the law on the sub
ject is somewhat obscure, but that the prac-
tice of the board to call for bids whenever
the expenditure will exceed $500 is salutory
one and should prevail.
The more proper way would be to invite
bids for hose of the class and character
desired for the Fire Department than for
some particular brand of hose. This would
open competition and give the city the ad-
vantage Of it, while the board could select
what it deemed best.

ENTERPRIsING, TRULY.

Henderson of the Examiner thinks he
knows a trick or two, for it seems that he
runs the Examiner while Hearst is in the
East planning what he shall do for the
future. Although we are averse to adveT-
tisng a paper which works habitually for
booders we will do so for once. We find
paragraph in one of our exchanges which
has been telegraphed from Washington.
1t reads as follows:
An IDEAL NEWSPAPER BUILDING.
WAsHINGToN. Sept. CIV. K Hearst, pro-
prletor of the Sau Francisco Examiner, contem-
plates erecting here, in the vicinity OF News
paper Row, a eommodious structure which Will
cost nearly 100000. 1t will be named the
Examiner Building, and will be designed and
built with view to accommodating press assO-
Citations and newspaper correspondents with
rooms specially adapted 10 their business wants,
and 10 make it the headquarters of the CORE
spondents of Washington. Tie Examiner Dep
relation and Claims Bureau viii also be located
In this building.
1t is possible Mr.. Hearst wants "claim
bureau" as the paragraph suggests If so
we advise him 10 take his man Henderson
there with him, for il Henderson gets into

enrich both himself and his patron. a few
months ago Mr.. Hearst was going to put up
one OF the tallest buildings IN San Francisco,
but as We hear nothing of this enterprise Of
late. it is possible the building viii go up in
Washington, and that it viii Oyertop any,
thing there, even the Washington Monu-
ment. We are the more inclined to this
opinion, since Mrs Hearst holds the purse
strings, and she may want to keep the young
man near her, so that he will not go too far

ALONG TIE RAIL.
Texas Commission at War With
Several Companies.

The Texas Railway Commission is in
trouble all around. 1t has just ordered re-
duction in freight rates on all the important
lines running through Texas, and in conse-
quence the members of the commission
have big fight on their hands. The South
ern Pacific is interested in the squabble,
and Vice President Stubs is now in Texas
looking after the interest of his road. The
lines specially concerned in the recent re-
ductiOn on account of Galveston traffic
affirm that the rates as set by the commits
sion will drive all the cotton shipments to
New Orleans. Close upon this unpopular
decision comes another, requiring the Gulf,
West Texas and Pacific road to run train
daily each way between Victoria and Port
Lavaca. The road has brought suit against
the commission, asking that the order be
set aside, claiming uncOnstitutIonallty In
that section of the Commission Act which
requires the running of trains as ordered.
The boycott recently inaugurated by the
Southern Pacific against the Delaware,
Lackawanna and Western road, has been
raised. The cause OF this trouble arose out
OF the D., l.. and w. refusing to settle
promptly for tickets sold over the Southern
Pacific Company's lines. This neglect was
continued for several months. despite fre-
quent letters on the subject between offl-
cials of the companies. General Passenger
Agent Goodman yesterday received an ae-
counting for all moneys due up to Septem-
Der 1st, and consequently there is peace
once more.
On and after Monday the parlOr-ears
which have been running between San
Francisco and Santa Cruz on the morning
and afternoon trains of the South Pacific
Coast Railway were discontinued. The
train leaving San Francisco at 4;45 in the
afternoon daily for Los Gat0s has been run
ming from Los Gatos to Santa Cruz on Sat-
urdays and Sundays, returning from Santa
Cruz Sundays and Mondays leaving there
at :45 in the morning and arriving at San

EDITORIAL NOTES.

Senator Sherman says we are now buying, ain
tn open market, more than the entire domestic
production OF silver bullion, because we need II
for coinage and as a basis OF Treasury notes"
The Iowa State Register, Chairman Ciarksou's
paper consequently declares that looking TO
our duty to an American industry nothing more
than this can be asked, even II it Is our duty to
make this particular industry so profitable. To
Increase our demand for e0inag. so that bullion,
worth for years 81 an ounce, shall increase In
price and our Government pay 81 20 an ounce,
Is just throwing away the money Of our OVID peo-
pie to swell the profits OF somebody else-foreign
