The trial of Chief of Police Tompkins on

The trial of Chief of Police Tompkins on
a charge of battery for throwing or attempt
ing TO throw one Sackett Cornell, a reporter
on the Oakland Times, ont of the lobby OF
the City Prison office on the evening of the
% inst, came up in the Police Court yester-
day.
Cornell testified that as no chairs were
placed in the lobby and he was detailed to
remain in the City Prison from o'clock in
the evening TIL in the morning to gather
police news, he became tired of standing,
and on the night in question brought chair
10 sit down upon while waiting for news.
He was ordered to take the chair out and
refused, when he said the chair was taken
from under him bv the Chief and thrown
outside and he was ordered TO follow it. but
refused to obey because the place was pub
lie office. The Chief then seized him and at
temuted to eject him. and dragged him as far
as the door, when he refused TO go any fur
Their, and the Chief let him go. Words fol-
lowed in which the news-gatherer told the
Chief he was a coward, and used the au-
thority of his star. The Chief offered to
take it off, and the reporter told him that if
he would he "wOuld lick him before he got
it upon the counter" The Chief did not
take the star off, but used a vulgar express
sion, to which he replied in similar language.
The evidence of the reporter was contra
dicted in several particulars by the Chief
and officers who were in the prison, but gen.
orally sustained. Assistant District AttOr-
ney Church, in diSpasSiunate manner, in
sisted that the Chief had been guilty OF
technical battery, and thatif the reporter had
been guilty of using vulgar language before
the alleged battery hai been committed, as
was insisted by the defense, then the re-
porter should have been arrested instead of
thrown out.
Judge Ogden had evidently looked at the
law OF the case subsequent TO the arrest
and previous to the trial, for at the conclu-
sion If the argument he was ready to de-
eide the case and read lengthy opinion,
in which he rrcited that the Police Com
misSioners and the Chief of Police, acting
under them. had the right to establish rules
for the conduct of the City Prison and had
so done; that the prosecuting witness, Cor
nell, had been MADE acquainted with the
rule which foTbds luungng around the
City Prison, according to tie testimony cf
officers, though lie denied it; That having
these rules the Chief was entitled to see
them enforced, and that IA reporter of

City Prison and refused to do SO the Chief
had the authority to use necessary force 10

The silly season affords ample range for the
abilities of certain talented editors to comment
on the suggestion of Mr.. Fuller's name for the
presidency. One of them declares: "Chisf JUS
tice Fuller is toying with what he mistakes for q
presidential boom in his own behalf. He seems
to forget that it was not In the contemplation of
the fathers OF the republic that a man with a
mustache as heavy as his should ever be presi-

did Garfield. Arthur had side whiskers. Cieve-

portraits of the signers of the declaration, the
pictures OF the earlier presidents; all used their
razors. Boards were not fashionable. And shall
there never be warranted changer As rule
clergymen do not wear boards, yet In every
idealized portrait of the Saviour full
whisksrs are shown. A beardless Saviour
would not be recognized. 1t may be questioned

creature in order to foster the manufacture of
razors? The suggestion is not tolerable. II

to 0phelia: "God hath given you one
face and you make to yourselves
another" The reproach might be more properly
directed against man. Heaven hath sent him q
beard and he sends for barber Beyond ques-
ton nature meant the beard of the face, as it
means the hair of the head, TO be worn. Yet
the trainers OF the constitution of the United
States, every one of them, the signers of the
declaration of Independence, the presidents up
TO Martin Van Buren's time, all thwarted nature
and imagined themselves respectable in so
doing. To cultivate mustache is TO make
some amends, but the reform is only partial.

HE WILL NOT BE THERE.

Mr.. Cleveland will not speak in the Ohio
campaign for the obvious reason that he is
on the record against Stree silver" coinage
so entirely without qualification that it
would embarrass him to take part in a
campaign and be obliged to be silent about
the silver plank of the platform.
of his official term urged suspension of sill
yer coinage upon congress, and during the
free silver debate of 1890 reiterated his
anti-free coinage views. Governor Camp
bell, of Ohio, does not hesitate to express
free silver coinage to the product of the
American mines in contradiction of his
party platform.

So strong is the aversion of sane American
workingman to any form of paternaism that
the Pullman experiment near Chicago Is not
popular. The average American is SO individu-
alistic that he would rather spend his own
money in his own way than have Mr.. Pullman
spend 1t for him in such Injuries and necessaries
as he happens to think are inseparable from right
living for ali. The average American working
man would rather have more money in bank
than all the modern conveniences and privi-
leges of the town of Pullman, which Is moth.
ing more in principle than a respectable copy OF
an experiment conducted years ago by the En-.
glish Socialist, Robert Owen, at New Lanark.
The workingman at Pullman feels like bird in
q gilded cage; he can't sing, because while he
sees his home is very pretty he cannot forget
that it is prison after all, where no amount of
comfort and luxury pays for the loss of personal
liberty and independence 1t lis this manly
discomfort with paternalism; this aspiration
for individualism that makes q true American
weary OF the town of Pullman.
