ONLY HALF MARRIED.
A Runaway Youth and Maid Take the

Tugbost Route.
LII IS magnificent but il is not war" was
the sententfous but eminently appropriate
remark of General Bosquet when the charge
of the Light Brigade. at Balaclava, had i'm
mortalized the Six hundred before his eyes
few minutes previously.
The tugboat route to matrimouy has found
some young and romantic advocates In the
past. but in the light of the affair which
happened yesterday the bride will probably
want better security hereafter Cypics are
wont to affirm that if all the people now
married, but not mated, could get their
boat there would be such profit in the bust
ness as would Justify half dozen new
nrms starting In opposition to the owners of
the red-stackers and the black stackers, and
that every tug on the bay would be crowde ed
weekdays and Sundays alike.
The names of the youthful paIr who
brayed the breakers OF the bar yesterday on
the tug Ida w are not known, even to the
captain who married them, and who. it
appears, signed the certificate without
troubling to ask the question.
-. as mere IS at least one enraged parent In
~ years OLD, 1t may be case of marrying in
haste and repeDting without any leisure.
The bride Is said to be % years old, an age
at which most girls begin to find folly de-
serting them OF Its own accord leaving them
10 make friends with wisdom il they can.
The certificate OF tugboat marriage is a
very Door security anyhow, but that given
yesterday by the captain Of the Ida w would
appear to be OF about the same value as an
affidavit In the Bell case or in relation to the
substantial character Of the Mission-stree.
site.
The young people had run away from
Oakland and embarked on the Ida w at 9
o'clock. BY 10 O'Clock they were in a state
OF collapse from seasickness, and now the
burning question Is whether they are mar
ried or half married or not married at ALL
Captain James has probably not heard the
last of the matter

just think of 1t. Nearly one-half of the
embeZzlers went free-that is, in q out of 50
cases.
Two. who were admitted to bail. ran
away.
Twelve, or 90 per cent, were treated to
mild doses of prison life. ranging from one
to two years. After that they were free TO
go and violate other Social trusts reposed in
them.
What! After a taste OF prison lifeP
Yes. Many thieves would regard a years
Imprisonment very well paid at $780, and
any skilled embeZzler can easily make away
with that sum If he chances to have large
amounts belonging to Others In his keeping.
The terms of Imprisonment for such Of
lenders arc exceedingly short when con-
trasted with the gravity Of their crimes.
Only SIX were sentenced to terms of i'm
prisonment ranging from three TO four
years
Only two were sentenced for FIVE to six
years.
Only two were sentenced for seven to ten
years.
In four cases the jurles disagreed.
Eight cases are pending.
1t is well to consider these facts. Il is
timely.
Just look at the long list below. See how
the Jury System plays with the indictments.
See how acquittal follows acquittal and
dismissal dismissal.
Is this right?
Is this justice?
Is this the way to punish criminals?
10 all OF which tie highly intelligent Jury
System makes reply in its free and easy
way:
Let 'em COL can't do nuthin'-
They DIDN'T steal my pef.
What's The harm done anyway?
Might do the same myself.

is the.A11iance. .HA1 it not been for the
work tho Alliance has done and is do
ing. the Peoples party could not hope to
gain the strength and power it soon viii
manifest. The great and most, valuable
effects of the Alliance work will yet be
seen in the. wise policy which the new
party will follow when it takes the field.
Let there be no abandonment Of the Al
lance. The work it represents is the
back bone of the reform movement. The
party which it has called into existence
is but a weapon for the fight.
As l said at the outset, this is the time
for keen vigilance. Watch the enemy
as represented in the maneuverings of
the two old parties in congress and then
it will be easier to judge what policy to
map out for the Peoples party in the
field in the coming year. There will be
some mighty interesting politics in
Washington in the next six months.
Watch the developments from day to
day. It will pay you,- it will interest
you. 81. R. CHAMBERLAIN.

WHAT A LAWYER THINKS.
President Folks Address Gineerly Has,
died by the Party Press.

President Folks Address Gineerly Han3
died by the Party Press.
l notice that the press Of the STATE
hardly refers to Colonel Folks addres
at Indianapolis, and yet it is not only q
remarkable presentation of Alliance dei
mands, but Of the political ills which
now beset us. Many things he said have
been said before, but he says them beti
ter than have ever seen them said. 81
seems to be that every paper interested
in financial reform will find somethin@
in it to advance our common causa
against common enemy. They may
not like Colonel Polk personally, and
may not wish to advance his interests in
any respect, but they ought to seize tina
ready made weapons Of a personal ened
my even to fight the common enemy od
mankind.
If they do not hate such an enemy
more than they hate any personal enemy
they cannot lead in this great war
against plutocracy. Like Patrick HenryI
we ought to use every weapon which
"God and nature" have thrown in our
path, then we will win as he did. The
narrow policy of partisan prescription
must soon pass away. We must put
principle before party. The test od
heresy hereafter must not be the nero,
adherence to an organization or party
but the advocacy Of principles and in
terests which are dearest to the people.
and to which every party ought to sub
scribe. There can be no difficulty about
the rectitude of our party affiliationa
If we advocate the right principles.
Churchism is not favorable to Chris
tianity, and partyism is not favorable I'd
reform. Churches and parties will take
care of themselves if religion and prin-
ciples are faithfully promulgated. If d
could hear less talk of the Democratio|
party and more talk of Democratic prin-
ciples, should have more hope of re-
form. A Democratic partisan belongs
to the party and he will not ask many;
questions about whether it is right OF
wrong. A Democrat from principle
will see to it that his party, or somd
party, shall advocate what is right. One
makes party the standard or criterion Of
right; the other makes right the stand
ard or criterion of party. Much if not
most of what Colonel Polk said is the
best Democracy ever saw. If my party
is hurt by it. then it needs reform.
Does Democratic partyism stand in
the way Of :. the triumph of Democratic
principles? Then let us have less of it.
If the partisan" press cannot accept aid
from any source, they put their party
above their principles or make party a
test of principle.
Personally care for nobody in this
fight, but want fair play for everybody.
If the press of the state will treat
Colonel Polk fairly when he is right,
they will have more influence with the
people to correct him when he is wrong.
