ACcEDING TO DEMANDS.
Mr.. Henry then addressed the board
with reference TO his petition. He said
he had made no fuss because the Oakland
people stood good show to get road on
u street, after he had been denied one
he had kept his peace until the Oakland
proposition was disposed of, and now
that the latter was out of the way, he de-
sired TO be heard again. When he made
his previous request for road on G.
street he met with vigorous opposition
from property-owners on the street.
Their principal kick" was based on the
fact that they would have to transfer TO
the depot instead of riding through
direct, and also because the cars would
not run after O'Clock in the evening,
should the managers conclude that run
ming them later did not pay. In his new
petition, he said, he gave the property
owners just what they want. He assured
the board that he was not endeavoring to
tie up the street for
SPECULATIVE PURPOSES,
And would give S25, 900 bond to show
that he was in good faith. Mr. Henry
then wanted to know if the board meant
what it said recently, namely, that no
franchise would be granted on a street
Wnefe majority OF the property owners
object, or, vice versa, that it would be
granted if majority should sign petit
ton in favor of it, 1t was a peculiar
stand to take, he said, and he wanted a
clearer idea Of the matter from The trus-
tees.

that" said the Mayor, in troubled sort
of way. This will have to lay over a
week, under the rules. and l suppose

The Mayor then took occasion to
change the subject by complaining to
Mr.. Henry that the electric railway COM
pany was blowing up too much Of Tenth
street, for its cemetery branch, and also
that piles of cobbles were left in the street
by the company. Mr.. Henry eased the
Mayors mind by promising to see that
everything was done properly, and then
he departed.

STATE TAX RATE.
The Board of Equalization Fixes 1t at
Forty-three and 9-1O Cents.
San Francisco Increased Twenty Per
Cent. - Three Other Counties
Slightly Increased.

The State Board of Equalization has
completed the work which has kept it in
session for several weeks past, that of de-
termining the tax-rate for the ensuing
year, and deciding the matter of raising
or reducing the assessments of. certain
counties.
During the time the bosrd was in ses-
sion the Supervisors, Assessors and other
officials Of various counties appeared be-
fore that body in response to citations tc
explain the assessments, and mass OF
testimony was taken. 1t was supposed
from the drift Of these inquiries, that the
tax rolls Of several counties would be
increased by the State Board, but the re-
suit shows that those of but four have
been raised.
San Francisco had asked for reduction
of 30 per cent, but instead of reducing
her assessment the board announced its
purpose to increase it 20 per cent.
That of Los Angeles was increased IA
per cent, Santa Barbara per cent. and
San Bernardino per cent.
The board concluded that from the
showing made by Sacramento, Kern,
Orange, Monterey, San Luis Obispo, Te-
hama and Gulare Counties their assess
ments were high enough.

PARTY CONTROL EVEN.

Ever since the origin of this govern
ment there have been two main ma
tional parties. Their first division
was upon construction of the consti
tuition upon the question of state SOW
ereignty. One party, in the begin
ming, the Federal, conte nded for q
Central Federal government. The
other party, the Jeffersonian Repub'
lican party, very soon denominated
the Democratic party, contended for
local self government or the sover-
eighty of the states.
The former under Alexander Ham,
ilton, held that under proper con.
struction of the constitution the
Federal government was the
center and source of power
and tbat the states in all things were
subordinate to that authority. The
Democratic party held that the Fed
eral government derived all it's pow
ers from the sovereign states and that
powers not delegated by the consti-
tuition to the Federal government
were reserved to the states.
The Democratic party has main
tanned its distinct autonomy ever since
and its principles have been derived
from and measured by it original car
dinal and fundamental doctrine.
The opposition party has at various
times assumed various names but al
ways retaining the main features of
the Federal party. The nat
ional Republican or Fed.
eral party of Adams became
the Wing party of Mr.. Clay which
owed it's constructive vitality to that
great statesman and died with him
with the American or know-nothing
party built up on its ruins.
That party went to pieces battling
against the invincible principles Of the
Democracy until it has merged into
the modern Republican party with
almost the same Obstructive issues
upon which he parties first divided.
1t is noteworthy fact that each Of
these two plitical parties have had
control of the government just fifty
two years respectively. The Federal
lists held the presidency twelve years,
the National Republican four years,
the Wings eight years and the latter
day Repu blicans twenty.eight years
in all fifty-two years on March A, 1892
The Jeffersonian Republicans held
the presidency twenty-four years and
the Democracy, the same party, off
and on twenty-eight years, in all fifty.
two years.
While the two parties under differ.
ent names held the presidency each
fifty-two years. another coincidence is
in the fact that the Demo.
cratic party under that name has held
the presidency twenty. eight years
and the latter day Republicans have
held it twenty. eight years on the 4th
of March, next. So that it appears
that from the inaugurati IN of Wash
ington 104 years ago the honors are
even. The people have by their votes
equally divided the control of the
country between the two parties.

Nothing can be made now by brag,

We were arrayed yesterday in op

has made good fight. Today we are
again fellow citizens with the same
object in view, peace and prosperity.
If your side has been successful you
can afford to be magnanimous, and
yeu have no right, by the rules of
courtesy and good feeling, to taunt
your defeated opponents. Their lives
will be unhappy enough without adj
ding another feature to their defeat.
If your side was defeated, you were

STRIKES FOR ORGANIZED LABOR

The strike at New Orleans is a sac
reminder of the fact that in all the
political discussions and theories adj
vanced during this canvass that the
practical solution of this pressing is
sue between capital and labor mas
never been sugg sted.
The theory of strikes may be al.
right but the practical results are al
wrong. The theory is the assertion
of an abstract right of workingmen to
quit work when they please, the re
suit is distress at home, suffering and
hunger. But the strikes in this coun-
try are rapidly assuming more dan
gerous and threatening cOndi-
tion of affairs. When the strike
was first inaugurated it was
for the purpose of claiming
better compensation for work and I'M
der that demand alone arbitration
might be successfully appealed to
buthe latter day strike is not 80
much or exclusively for higher wages,
but it is nanifestly to sustain the la
Dor organizations in their distinct au-
tonomy.
AS preliminary to all arbitration
the striking workmen low demand
recognition of their committees from
an organization and further than that
they demand reputation of the
claims to work of all other workmen
not me n bers Of their organizations.
While all just men recognize
the fact that the corporations pay
workmen and laborers insufficient
wages and sympathize with th'm in
their demands for adequate Goa, pensa-
ton, they will find they are going a
little too far when they demand a
recognition of their organizations
which carries with it reputation of
all men not members of their societies
who are seeking work.
In going thus far they do two things
prejudicial to their interest, first they
lose the sympathy and encouragement
of the people generally, and secondly
they destroy all ability to obtain ar
bitrstion, for no legal court of arbitra-
ton could be held repudiating the
vast class of workmen outside Of these
societies seeking work. They can
not ask arbitration while they in any
way attempt to prevent competition.
The fact is they do more than that,
they exclude themselves from court
of Cancellation, which after all will be
found the only means of settling con.
tests over wages between the EN-
ployer and the workmen. By claim.
ing distinc. recognition as the only
people entitled to have work, they ex-
clude themselves from the agencies
of Cancellation that otherwise, en-
bracing all classes of workmen
whether organized or individual,
might be OF great benefit to them In
obtaining fair compensation.
A strike for higher wages always
obtains general sympathy when it is
based upon just grounds, but a strike
for the recognition of organized labor
exclusively is too large claim on the
sympathy OF the country, and if work
men are wise they will get down off
that high horse and themselves show
some sympathy for their fellow work
men who do not think proper to join
their organizations.
