The morning call., 1893-10-05
CALIFORNIA CONGRESSMAN.

Representative Bowers Is dangerous
man to have in Congress. He has not the
sense of respect for the executive branch
of the Government which the average
Congressman manifests. The other day
he made speech prompted by the hard
ships of certain settlers on public lands.
which have since been declared to belong
to the Southern Pacific Company, from
which VIC make the following pregnant
extract:
In California we have statute providing that
II one Of our citizens sells land twice he shall
be convicted OF felony, and the doors OF The
peniientiary are open to receive him. Yet the
United States Is acting In precisely the same
manner which Is condemned as felony by the
laws of California.
Mr. Bowers did not propose to proceed
against the United States on a charge Of
felony. He simply asked the Department t
Of Justice to make q small appropriation
to defend the title to land the Interior De-
partment had given. Mr.. Bowers called
the attention of Congress to the matter
because Attorney General Olney had in
formed him that the Department of Justice
could not defend these titles. The case
takes this form: The Department Of the
Interior issued patents TO these lands. 1t
is presumed that before issuing patents it
saw that the provisions of the law under
which patents are issued were complied
with. The settlers have lived on these
lands in peace a good many years. They
have built up homes on them In which
they hoped TO shelter their old age. They
complied with all the terms of the law un-
der which they made the land entry.
They have got patents bearing different
dates. all of which announce that the per-
sons to whom they are issued are the own
ers of land described in the documents.
Now comes railroad agent VINO tells
the settlers that the lands are within an in
demnity grant issued to the Southern
Pacific Company in lieu Of other lands rot
available under the original railroad
grant. AT present we are not calling into
question the legality of the Southern Pa
cifc titles. We would simply join Mr..
Bowers in protest that the United States
Government. should not commit an act
which the laws CT one OF the States de-
clare to be felony II done by an individual.
THE CALL is aware that the Department
of Justice has considerable business on its
hands at the present time. There are sew
eral trusts which Mr.. Cleveland in his in
augural address promised to bring within
the law, and as nothing has bsen done in
that way yet, it is fair to presume that the
Department Of Justice lie busy with them.
But all Mr.. Bowers asks tor Is $1,000 fee
for counsel to defend the settlers title.
He does not expect Attorney General
Olney to bend his powerful mind in that
direction. Mr.. Bowers knows as we'll as
anybody that the evaporation the Chinese
restriction act has caused the Attorney
General is as much of a vexation as great
man can be expected to put up with from
an insignificant source. But $4,000 fee
for defense Of title the Interior Depart
ment had given is certainly not unreason-
able.

Cardinal Gibbons will hold the services
of his silver jubilee on October II. This
date was decided on in order not to inter-
fere with the regular Sunday services of
the Baltimore churches.
Edwin s. Filter, ex-Mayor of Philadel-
phia. mentioned eighteen months ago as
possible Republican candidate for the
Presidency, begins the fall campaign with
eighty pairs OF trousers and fifty suits Of
clothes
Lord Denman, one of the hereditary
legislators of Great Britain, is an amiable
but eccentric old n0bleman who appears
in the House OF Lords wearing blue vel
vet skull cap, lavender gloves and Scotch
plaid that suggests an explosion in a paint
shop.
One reason why the Russian Czarowitz
can never marry the Princess Victoria of
Wales, with whose name gossip has con-
nected his, is that they are first cousins,
and the marriage of first cousins is strictly
prohibited by the canons of the Greek
church.
Mr.. Gladstone's recent attacks upon the
House OF Lords are no doubt duo In no
small degree to the ingratitude Of the peers
who owe their creation to him. or sixty
four members Of the House OF Lords whum
he has been Instrumental in elevatlng to
their present position, twenty-three either
voted against the heme-ruie bill or ab-
sented themselves when the vote was taken.
The morning call., 1893-10-05
AT REDUCED WAGES.

A free-trade contemporary makes much
ado over the announcement that some
Eastern mills that shut down in June are
now reopening. 1t makes no note of the
fact that in all or nearly all cases that
have been reported the rates of wages
have been reduced Shutting down en-
abled the manufacturers to work off the
old stock of goods and to make conditions
with their operatives as to the rate of
wages to be paid in the future. If there
had been no threat of tariff reduction
there would have been only the usual sum-
mer recess and work would have been re-
sumed long ago at the old rate of wages.
1t is apparent that voting for Cleveland
and tariff reform is a rather expensive lux
ury for wage-earners. The employers may
indulge In it possibly without much loss.

EXAMINING THE INSANE.
The Regular Form of Proceeding
Now Being Observed.

Five persons were up before Judge Heb
bard yesterday for examination as 20 their
sanity and all proceedings were in regular
form.
Mrs. Mary Buckley of Harriet street.
who has been trying to starvc hsrself for
the past week, was sent to the asylum at
Napa. Henry Hohrns. religious fanatic
who tried to jump from an Oakland boat
some time ago, was committed to Stockton
Asylum.
The case of Mary Pickering of 1920
StOckton street was continued till Satur-
day. She said her husband. Samuel, had
treated her very cruelty, in addition to
robbing her of $4,000. which she had saved
while keeping a boarding house during
nine years of married life. On account Of
his cruelty she had sued him for divorce
Her husband was called and denied her
story, and Judge Hebbard concluded fur
tber study of the case was necessary.
Chin All Lock, harmless Chinaman,
was discharged and George Airup was
sent to the Home for the Care Of Inobr-
ates for further observation.

GRAND JURY AND THE SCHOOLS.

inyes tgation has developed a shameful
perversion of trust. Ii School Directors
have not sold positions in the School De-
partment they have filed them without
much regard to the fitness of the appli-
can't It should be stated that their report
deals with practices known to exist under
former administrations. The present
board has filled no teachers positions.
On the contrary, 1t has created large num-
Der Of vacancies. which are to be filed,
not by election by the board. but by ap-
poinlment of teachers consolidated out to
new classes. 1t is not well that board
which voluntarily sacrificed patronage
should be held responsible for the sins of
its predecessors.

The Conductors Revenge.

Edttor Cdll-SIR: witnessed an amusing
incident on car 13 of the San Mateo electric
road yesterday afternoon. Among others who
boarded the car at Fourth and Harrison streets
was woman, who was overlooked by the con.
ducior until she had ridden a block. Then he
politely asked her for her fare. She replied
that her hush nd. who was on the outside. had
already paid for her. and persisted in this false
stat ment every time the conductor made his
rounds. When Eighteenth street was reached
the woman turned and asked for transfer
The conductor saw his opportunity. and calmly
said: "Madam, l gave the transfer 10 your
husband outside" Then the other passengers
smiled, and the woman got of. verv req In the

How Women Play Whist.

hid Won over watch women .,lone at whist
and note the interest taken? asks writer
in the Toronto Saturday Night. l visited
at a suburban hotel in Chicago, and one
evening after being for a stoll my friend
and / walked into the parlor where four
ladies' two widows and two Young girls.
were enjoying a game of whist.
Sitting on lounge at some little distance
we watched the game and occasionally
chirned in with our opinion on subjects
brought up with cards laid down. Finally
the conversation turned to cooking, and
soon there was a very spirited debate on the
way to boil potatoes. The English widow
declared that the only way her father would
eat potatoes was when put on quick fire
mealy, and asking what card led Ilayed her
hand The elder. an American widow, laid
down her card and stated very positively that
there was only one correct way and that
was to put them in boiling water. AS one
of the girls asked what was trumps the
English widow said she would never do
them any way but the way she learned at
home. When the girl took the trick she
only liked the potatoes boiled with the
Jackets on.
Then the younger girl dealt new hand.
remarking that there could be no difference
in boiling anything so ordinary as potatoes
and what did ii matter how they were boil
ed as long they got soft? which brought
out such a storm of Indignation from the
others. myself and friend included. each
giving her opinion over again. all at the
same time, and trying to make herself
heard above the others. that the poor girl
trumped her partners ace. causing Il repri-
mand from that partner, which was only
interrupted by a roar of laughter from
some gentlemen standing in the hall who
came in and gave their opinion-on whist.
