Rocks

He Will Fight saloons with Women and
ROCKS
DEs MONIES, Dec. 30.-Leonard Brown is
fighting the proposed disorderly house ordi-
nance now pending before the city council
Mr.. Brown is Prohibitionist, and he is
proud of it. He has novel plan to defeat
the alleged purposes of this ordinance, if
it be passed. He stated Wednesday morn
ing that if this law be enacted by the city
council and any saloons started under .,
he would organize a band of 800 or 400
women and supply each of them with
rocks.
Brown Will Lead the Fair Ones.
Then he would lead the procession
through the streets and they would pelt
the saloon windows with rocks and stones
until every window in every saloon in the
city was demolished. He said they would
have a perfect right to do this and could
defy arrest; that the common law of the
state empowered each and every citizen
with authority to abate a nuisance, and
they would proceed to do so under this
theory.

SILL LIVES.

The Citizens Defense Association has
been rather quiet of late, but il has not been
idle. There is perhaps no line Of work
that needs looking after more than the as
sessment of property in this city. The
evils to guard against are dishonesty and
lnexperIence. As things are now managed
dishonest Assessor could make the office
worth half million a year. II Is not
charged that Assessor Siebe has profited by
his opportunities, but it is urged that such
opportunities should not be offered. Mr..
John z. Dunn of the Citizens Defense AS
ISOLATION takes Assessor Siebe into court on
complaint that assessments have been re-
duced since the roll was completed In
this it is urged that Mr.. Siebe has exercised
powers that be does not lawfully possess.
The power to reduce assessments lies with
the Board of Supervisors, sitting as a
County Board OF Equal lzation. No argu-
ment is needed in justification Of the law
that places the power to reduce assessments
in the hands Of board composed of a num-
Der of officials. II the Assessor could re-
duce his own assessments at will he would
be subject not only to much importantly
but to much temptation. There are tax
payers who would make it worth the while
OF the Assessor to revise the estimate Of a
deputy. No man could exercise such a
power without attracting more or less sus-
picion to his motive. The instances given
OF reductions made are not reassuring.
Property that has been under the Assessors
eye for years, it is stated, has been reduced
in cases to one-fourth of the original assess
ment. These are mostly cases Of arbitrary
assessment, but when property holders fail
TO submit statement the records Of the
Office might serve as a guide. When a
$4,000 assessment is reduced 10 $1,000 peo-
pie naturally wantto know why the Assessor
did not get nearer the true value at his first
guess. The increase in the real estate as
sessment roll has put people in a bad humor.
No one pretends to defend IL. The assessed
valuation OF property should not be ad-
yanced while the market value of property
is depreciaiing. Assessor Siebe seems at
least to have performed his official duties in
the interest of the tax-eaters. While the
revenue this year will not be affected by an
increase in tie assessment roll such increase
opens the way for county conventions TO in
crease the basis of taxation for the succeed
inc wear

CARNEGIE AND NEWSPAPERS.


The following paragraph may have an in
terest Tor American readers at this time:
According to the Philadelphia Ledqer
Andrew Carnegie is said to own 10 less
than eighteen newspapers"
Nine years ago we were informed by the
American Consul at birmingham that Car
negie owned quite number of newspapers
in England and Scotland at that time.
There was much speculation as to what he
intended 10 do with those newspapers in
the future. Some persons suggested that
he probably designed TO enter politics in
that country. Carnegie put us in mind of
the men who have control OF the Central
and Southern Pacific railroads in California
with this difference, that our railroad man.
ayers do not own so many newspapers out
right as does Carnegie, but they subsidize
more. Carnegie goes in for actual owner
ship, but our railroad managers like SUBJ
sidy. Tor that brings the best results. Car
negie seems to be one Of those gentlemen
who believes in taking advantage Of Ameri-
can institutions 10 make money by manu.
featuring interests, but he likes to employ
labor at English prices. IL is doubtful IL
Carnegie Is even naturalzed citizen, for
few years ago when taking Mr.. Blaine
through his possessions they we're described
as being quite extensive.

THE REASON WHY.

When the Board of Supervisors was con-
sidering the amendment to the ordinance
under which twelve property holders in a
beck can license a dive IN spite Of the Police
Commission, Boss Martin Kelly was in an
anteTo0m Of the legislative chamber. What
influence the presence Of the Tnird-street
boss had over the action of weakened
Supervisors can only be conieetured. The
known facts are that Kelly and Crimmins
have complete control over the convention
that will nominate candidates for the ensu-
ing two years, and that Kelly was opposed
10 the amendment under consideration.
Boss Kelly appears TO have succeeded in
securing 10 Republican council the place
Boss Buckley occupied in Democratic coun-
els. There is reason to believe also that
he derives his power from the same source.
The Southern Pacific Company has ever
been ind fferent as to the character Of its
tools, 50 that he company was well served.
1t does not follow that the Southern Pacific
is opposed TO the ordinance closing the
dives. That company does not care whether
the dives are closed or not. What it does
care for is TO have a boss at the head Of
each party VINO can secure the nomination
Of persons acceptable to the company for
certain Offices. particularly members of the
Board If Supervisors and of the Legisla-
ture. j boss VINO is true to the company
may be allowed to exercise some personal
privileges on matters Of such comparatively
small Importance as the licensing of liquor
selling in underground dance halls. The
question for the voters OF this city now to
consider is if the ediets of Martin Kelly
shall have the force Of law. Kelly and his
associates in political jObbery Will soon
present to the voters of this city munich
pal and legislative ticket. If it is elected
Kelly viii run the government in all the
departments for the nexttwo years. Under
a republican form of government people
bring evil or good upon their own heads.
Ii they exercise their privileges wisely the
result will be good; if ignOrantly, careless
or wickedly. the result will be evil.

PRINT PRICES CURRENT.

contemporary who holds that protec-
ton 10 American labor is unconstitutional
gives partial list of duties on imported
articles. This would be q fair method of
conducting political controversy il a COM
paratiye list OF the market value of such
articles now and al any former period
should also be given. The protectionists
claim that by means Of the duties the manu-
facture of articles in common use has been
transferred TO this country, and they also
claim that home competition has so reduced
the market price that consumers pay less
for goods than at any former period. Proba-
bly, the home cost is greater than the foreign
cost OF articles Of like quality. but this
trittlng excess is Insignificant when COM
pared with the benefit resulting from the
establishment OF home industries. Our free
trade contemporary can easily demonstrate
the truth or falsity of the prOtectionist's
claims that articles in common use are
cheaper now than at any former period
The prices current of Its own files will give
it considerable information on this point
When have wooden goods OF medium quality
been so cheap as they are now? When
have cotton cloths, upon which the import
duty ranges from 50 to 40 per cent, been as
cheap as since the present tariff went into
effect? Has there been a time when a
better pair Of boots or shoes could be pur-
chased for So than at present? Possibly
there has been rise in the price of the i'm
ported article, the prices OF which range
from $40 TO S16 but SIG boots are not essen
tial to human happiness. We do not expect
our contemporary will print "a comparative
list Of the prices Of articles In common use
now and at former period. 1t leaves its
readers to believe that the rates of duty it
gives are added to the cost of such articles
as are enumerated. Ii probably expects
them TO reach the conclusion that if there is
80 per cent ad yalorem duty on wooden or
cotton cloths they would be able to buy
such goods on the market at Cne-half the
present prices If there were no such duties.

HOW WE MANAGE.

Judge Sawyer a few days age, In an ad-
dress before meeting assembled to devise
means TO close tile dives in this city, is
quoted to have used the following language:
There is a safe and eff ctual remedy There
is an election coming on in November, and you
must see TO il that none but able, honorable and
clean-miuded men are sent 10 the State LegIsla-
ture. Send men 10 The halls OF legislation vino
VIII frame constitutional amendment which
viii allow San Francisco and other GILES 10 pass
such laws as they deem proper Do this and we
have commenced building at the bottom and are
sure OF our foundation, for Il is then part aud
parcel OF the organic law Of The State After
that our Supervisors can leglslate as they pl ase.
What the Judge suggests is to The pur-
pose, but ii so happens just now that our
Supervisors can act on the dive question,
but majority Of them appear 10 be dis
posed to act in opposition TO the wishes OF
the people. Again, Judge Sawyer referred
to our Chief of Police as a worthy officer.
who lately said to him:
/ could not run for office in this ely. / am
appointed by the Police Commissioners. bar if
my election depended upon the vote OF tie PEG.
pie would be showed under by The votes along
The BaTbary Coast and IN Tar FlaT. No Ofleer
can ever be put up Tor the Office Of Chief OF
Police that the criminal element would not de-
feat.
We differ with the remarks as applied TO
our Chief of Police. The trouble in select
ing an efficient Chief of Police lies in the
body which dominates candidates for Office.
The railroad. through It's agents, controls
the nomination of both political parties,
and it employs such men as ii 0 not desire
an efficient Chief of Police. This is where
nearly all of our difficulties arise. Men
who are employed by the railroad to select
candidates for officers who will do the rail-
roads dirty work will do dirty work for
themselves. This is how we come to have
men in office whom we would not trust in
ordinary business transactions. If the peo-
pie desire to escape the worst possible gov
eminent. they must nominate and elect
candidates for Offices. 1t is possible to ill
important offices with thieves if the bosses
see fit TO nominate them. for We vote for the
candidates they furnish us with.

the railroad aud thence by steamer to Liver
pool and then again by railroad TO London,
for there are no fast steamers taking freight
direct from American ports to London by
way of the Thames. London is not destitute
of fine fruits in their season. for they are
brought from France, Spain, Portugal and
Italy, ETC., in large quantities, and sell for
a reasonable price. 1t was well to try the
experiment of shipping choice fruits abroad,
but it is doubtful If it Will succeed. The
freight-S10O0 per carlosd-forbids it. The
railroad company does not run any risk.
