FAIR PLAY a JEWEL.

Fair play is jewel" Let those who
the Folsom Water Power people keep
the old proverb in mind. No one is max
ing any such attempt. Everybody wants
that company to come in and aid in max

ening artificial light, electrical motive
power, etc. But the company itself de-
clares that upon the operation Of street
railway, power transmission and sale by
that company does not depend.
mouths Of the mendacious. Common
sense consideration will disclose to any
one with thimbleful OF brains that the
Folsom Power Company did not years
ago begin, and all these years 60 on with
the construction of great works, to now
abandon their profitable use in the largest
and nearest city because particular few
blocks of right of way for street railway
is denied to it. The Folsom Company

an attitude. Its heads have so authorita-
lively stated to the RECoRD-UNIoN, and
with unmistakable emphasis, too.
No, the railway idea is a recent and q
sudden one, and upon it the great
schemes of the company do not turn.
Sacramento and all near towns are desir-
Gus of the benefits the transmission of
power and the irrigation of lands will
bring, and they want the Folsom Com
pany to be given every facility to carry
out such projects. But as fair play is a
jewel, the people of Sacramento do not
wish injustice done to the existing line
Of electric street railway by taking from
it street-way necessary to complete it's
system, and that the other company did
not originally petition for, and which it
asked for only at the last moment.

THE possession of G street is very
unimportant matter to any new company
desiring to put in a competing street rail-
road system in this city. but it is of vital
importance to the Central Electric Com
pany, as it is absolutely necessary to the
completion of it's system. Unless that
company has line on the north side the
people cannot ride to all parts of the city
for one fare. The Trustees were right in
granting the frachise to the Central Com
pany.

THE evasion with which Mr.. Cleveland
treats the proposition of the National
Convention of his party to reinstate the
old system of State banks of issue-which
must follow the repeal of the tax LAWS
very much troubling the Democrats who
remember the days of 1857, when the Ma
ton was shaken by the collapse of some
hundreds of shinplaster State banks of
issue. All the ex-President has to say
upon this foremost question is:
But whatever may be the form [ofcurrency1
national or State, gold, silver or paper, It
should be so regulated and guarded by Gov
ernmental action or wise and careful laws
that no one can be deluded as to the certainty
and stability of its value.
That is to say, Mr.. Cleveland admits
the possibility of there being State cur
rency issues again and simply utters the
platitude that if there is re-establishment
of the old-time bank paper it should be
so guarded that no one will be deluded as
to its value. That is veriest nonsense.
What guarantee can the party or any
other influence give that forty-four States
will legislate to that end? Is it not clear
to the commonest intelligence that the
best of guards is now set up, the tax upon
State issues, and that it is effectual and a
deadly foe to bank speculation through
note issues? It would have been wise for
Mr.. Cleveland to have taken issue
suuarely with his party in this matter
and have declared himself unalterably
opposed to the reinstation of the system
Had he done so he would have gained
very considerably in strength with the
people.

Chicago VS.. San Francisco.


Joseph P. Lambert, young and
wealthy Chicago merchant, who is now
on his way home with a charming bride
from San Francisco, had little adven-
ture while here, says the San Francisco
Examiner, that Melted him $40 in cash.
The prospective bridegroom stayed at
the Palace Hotel, and while there the
early part of one evening, just before
his marriage, he heard an alarm of fire.
There is nothing which appeals SO WV
idly to the Chicago imagination as the
clamor of the fire bell, and naturally
enough this fellow abandoned the sweet
thoughts that had been occupying his
mind, and rushed forth to the anticipat-
ed scene of destruction. II was afre on
Fourth Street, an ordinary San Francis
CO contiagration, which could be distin-
guished in the electric light by the en-
gines and the crowd. The Chicago man
beheld it, and as he stopped-perhaps
in eager expectancy of some great out
burst Of fame-a couple of young Wom-
en- dashed up to him.
ooh, save us, sir Save u.s." cried
one, throwing herself into the hero's
arms.
Eyes, yes; save us !" chimed in the
other as she chung to the Chicago man S
right arm.
The dreaded danger did not seem to
materialize, and when the Eastern
merchant elected the assertion that the
girls we're afraid of the fire, he assured
item that the safest plan would be to
travel along up the street. There was
| no need of repeating the advice, for the
timid creatures hurried away as if
| really on the wings of fright.
Then Lambert began to ponder, and
| NO vi
pleted he discovered that two $40 gold
pieces had been taken from his trousers
| pocket. 1t was too late to catch the
women, and SO the stranger idled over
| to Fifth Street, thinking about the proc
ess. He went to Market Street, and
near the Baldwin Hotel he told of the
robbery to couple of policemen.
Presently the pair of pickpockets
CHANGED that way, demure and appar-
emily happy. The owner of the double
eagles recognized the women, and with
| Chicago boldness he stepped before
them.
"Give me my money r' he demanded.
The pickpockets were shocked. They
were insulted. They would have the
rude man arrested. But the rude man
was firm. He wanted his money, and
| disregardlng the policemen, he would
take it then and there. That's what he
said. Trouble was imminent, when a
male accomplice of the women stepped
UP. He saw the face of the adversary
and then volunteered to pay the de-
sired amount. He counted out the
gold.
"Now give me $40 for my trouble"
said the visitor from Chicago, and 1t was
| given.
The pickpockets were then allowed
to depart, though two policemen saw
the transaction. Lambert desired that
no arrest be made. and his wish was re-
! 1pected.
