part of tho drunk. are IN the city jail on
suspicion of having had . hand in the
affair.
1t was about $50 o'clock yesterday
morning that Benson and the parties who
are in Jail got into q hack on Third street
and were driven down to an oyster house
on Yesler avenue and Second street.
After supper Benson suddenly became
aware of the fact that his money Was
gone, and commenced to accuse everybody
with him of the theft. There was no
doubt that Benson had the money a short
time before he got into the hack. but
where it had gone and who took 1t he
could not decide. Jangling all the time.
they returned to Third street and separ-
ated, J. Bradley being the only one to re-
main with Benson.
They became so excited in talking the
matter over that Officer John Corbett
stepped in to quiet them and then learned
the whole story. To settle the matter he
arrested all parties concerned and took
them to the police station. Benson got
out on bonds. and after SOLDERING up came
to the conclusion that he couldn't really
tell when the money was taken. He also
said that the two men who are in Jail were
his personal friends and he did not believe
they had anything to do with the affair.

A QUESTION oF JUsTIcE.

Referring to the cases of the settlers on
the west side of the San Joaquin, who
bought lands of the Government of the
United States to which it can give no
title, and the request of President Hunt
ington of the Southern Pacific Company
that Congress will reimburse these set
tiers, the Tulare Register says:
As to the Government indemnifying the
settlers further than TO return what money
has actually been paid in, we are OF opinion
that il is not 10 be thought of. The Govern
ment cannot and will not avoW its pecuniary
responsibility for results dOWing from mis-
taken decisions of the heads of its depart
ments or its courts. No Government has ever
made such an aYOwal or ever can make one
with safety. 1t is an instance of govern
mental inability, and those papers and people
who urge the settlers to hold on in the hope
that the Government viii indemnify them for
the years of fTUitless endeavOr put forth are
but aggrayating the injury. Their conduct is
more creditable to their hearts than TO their
heads.
Reference to Mr.. Huntington's letter
shows that he has not asked the Govern
ment to do more than return the money
the settlers paid it for something they
have not and can never receive from the
Government, to wit, title to the lands.
But suppose that the asking had been for
more; why should not a government deal
as justly with its citizens as it compels its
citizens, through its judicial system, to
deal with each other? Because it never
has done any such thing as is asked for is
u - i
Precedents count for little with the
right-minded. where the question of JUS
tice is involved. The thing for govern
ments as well as men to consider is,
"What is right now?" utterly regardless
of what was considered right and honest
yesterday. Wherein lies the unsafeness
to a government in avowing that through
some of its executive or ministerial Of
ficers a mistake has been made in it's
name, or an injustice visited upon any
one by its agents?
Have we not before US now a signal in
stance of the Government of the Repub-
lie declaring through its chief magistrate
that the earlier representatives of the
Government had erred and done an act of
injustice, and therefore it is a bounden
duty of the Government of to-day to
right the wrong, at whatever cost, that it
is claimed has been done to the monarch
ical form of government lately existing
in the Hawaiian Islands?
If it is incumbent upon the American
people, in the interest of exact justice,
that Liliuokalani shall be restored to her
throne by the power of the United States,
because a wrong was done her by our
representative in the Hawaiian Islands,
how much more is it incumbent upon the
United States to right wrong done by 1t
to its own citizens-a wrong that is not
even the ground for the slightest dispute,
and that is admitted on all hands?

hit IN some speciality. at once forms an
surrounds himself with a company sub
ordinate TO himself in ability. and takes
to the road as ''star." By spectacular
surroundings, extensive advertising, ap-
peals to the fancy and the Imagination,
and by the aid of shrewd advance agents,
the taste for change and newness is slim
ulated until it has become abnormal. The
result is that, with here and there an ex-
ception, the stock actor has disappeared
and the player has become a stroller, in
which capacity there is only the slender
est opportunity for him to advance in the
dramatic art or to rise above a rigid level
prescribed for him by the ''star," who
will brook no rivals.
Ofcourse there are exceptions, and some
of the best dramatic performances vouch-
safed US are given by troupes of all
around excellence, gathered with con-
scientious regard for ability, and these
take to the road and do give US some of
the very best work possible by the pro-
fession. But as rule the actor has no
longer home. He is indeed dramatic
knight of the road, stroller in the
purest sense of the word.
That dramatic art has been bettered by
this change is not true. 1t has been de-
based. 1t has given US few specialists
and host of incompetents, who are such
for want of opportunity to develop. OF
| course the multiplication of the means of
communication and the rapid transit Of
the time have had much to do with this
revolution in the actor's life. Small
places which cannot maintain stock COM
panies demand that dramatic troupes
| come to them. The metropolitan advan-
tage and privilege must move to rural
dwellers, instead of the latter going to
the metropolis, and the road company is
the result.
In that respect there is gain to ruralists
peIHdpss Dut we tnlnh II lS at tne On Apohso
of dramatic art. But in very large COM
munities like San Francisco, it ought to
be possible to maintain good stock COM
panies in frst-class theaters. in which
| the people would take great pride, and
which would be equal to giving support
to such eminent lights of the stage as
must of necessity pass from point to
point. Certainly it is true that in the
three great nations of Europe such
system obtains, and there is not sufficient
good reason for its practical non-mainte-
nance in America.

THE DAY.

We have everything to be thankful for
to-day. We should remember that what
ever may have been our apparent re-
verses and trials, our condition might
have been worse; that, in fact. as people
we are well conditioned, greatly favored
and have every reason to give thanks
that it is our privilege to live in the clos
ing years of the best and most progress
i've of all the centuries.
While we gather our own about US, re-
joice that we are spared for loves and
friends, and reflect that grumbling eases
no pains and heals no wound, let US not
forget the poor, the destitute, the stranger
in our city. the homeless and the orphan;
nay, not even the prisoner within walls.
To all such let there go out something of
our bounty. No matter how small our
own store, it will grow larger if from it
we take some part for those who have not
wherewith to observe cheerful ceremonial
Of the day.

BIG Men and Women.

What enormous fellows and what levi
athan persons some OF these Swedish men
and women arei Nowhere will you see
such noble specimens of adult humanity
as in StOckholm's streets. The feature
seems TO pervade all classes, though it is
not least striking among the nobility.
Six feet is a common hight for man
here, and really do not believe L exag-
gerate in saying that men of feet OF 4
inches are as abundant in Stockholm as
men of feet with us.
The tallness of the women is just as
noteworthy. You remark it less, how
ever, because they are so well pro-
portioned. They say it is so easy to tell
the size of the boots outside the doors
which rooms of hotel are occupied by
the Swedish fair. Though they do
wear skies or sevens in shoe
leather, no sculptor would find
fault with them on professional
grounds. Moreover, they have most
winsome compilations, and of course,
blue eyes are nowhere more intensely
blue than here.
1t is comforting to know Il speak
on the evidence of one of the
pensionnaires) that Swedish maid
ems have a great admiration for
English bachelors. They read French
novels, but they believe in English bride
grooms. The blood bond still exists, ]
suppose, between them and us.-The
COrnhill Magazine.

ONE of the fellows who prates of his
rights and says nothing of his duties
fred shot through a restaurant window
in New York City, with the declared in
tention of numbering someone. no matter
whom, who was dining within. The fell
low was arrested and now turns out to be
one of the disciples of Most and O'Don-
novan Rossa. He is to be prosecuted and
the plea is put forward for him that he is
a crank and therefore irresponsible.
Somehow these rascals are always sane
enough to be sitting at the feet of anarch-
lists, but when brought to the bar of just
ice are invariably declared to be weak in
the upper story. Admit it, and still these
cattle are tit for the gallows. This man
Roeth had steady work at $50 a week.
The anarchists instilled into his mind the
doctrine of discomfort and made him be-
lieve that he was ground down and op-
pressed. Thereupon he threw up his
lob, bought pistol and marching to Del
monico's proceeded to blaze away through
the window in order to right his wrongs
and reorganize society upon the anarch-
istic plan. Luckily the would-be muir
derer hit no one, and the most that can
be done with him is to send him to State
Prison for long term. Really, the men
who ought to be jugged are those leaders
who preach the doctrine that produces
Roeths and Prendegasts. And if the rev.
olutionary leaders continue to influence
these poor fools and use them to ''cut and
stab the law'' and do murder, it will be
justifiable legislation to so far amend the
criminal laws as to make Most and his
fellow stirrers up OF strife liable to arrest
ana punishment. Not even the freedom
of-the- press sentiment should intervene
to save the rascally prophets of disorder
and the bomb.

DECADENCE OF THE STOCK COM
PANY.

4 theater in San Francisco has closed
out because the people were not content
with the stock company, though it was
admitted to be good one. The journals
say that theater-goers grew tired of see
ing week after week the same faces
though in new disguises.
Time was in California when public
taste moved upon better and a higher
plane. Then the people were content
to enjoy art for arts sake, and
found in such enjoyment the highest
satisfaction. Maguire's old stock COM
pany and that of the old Metropolitan
Theater played to as cultivated and crit
ical audiences as San Francisco can now
command, and did so month in and
month out with but few changes. Occa-
sionally star came along, but the sup
port was always the stock company.
In Germany, England and France to-
day the stock company ranks above the
strolling troupe, and rightly so. It is
more versatile, OF higher accomplish
ment, greater intelligence and, as rule.
is more skilled in all lines of dramatic
art. But the merciIess managers of this
era in our country have abetted the star
system to a degree that is little better
than an outrage upon art. Every other
ordinary actor who happens to make a

now show that after sll that has been
said about earthquakes in California, the

ever visited this State. In three in

shaken here for the space of few acres
than any given area at the East; but no
