with all men, wronged none and been
UNJUST to none, must be assumed to have
builded character worth having. But
the shafts of malice are always aimed at a
shining mark. Mr.. Steinman's char
acter is too well grounded for anyone TO
believe for moment that he would be
untrue to any official trust. The whole
trouble with the vulgar opposition, for
which Mr.. Well is so unfortunate as to
stand, is that it fears business ability,
courage, decision of character and energy
in the Mayors ofnce. 1t is non-pro-
gressiye opposition that pulls against the
Republican nominee. Unable to put a
finger upon blemish in Mr.. Steinman's
declaration of city needs or weak point
in his announced policy Of administra-
ton; unable to assail his character or
blacken his reputation, it is seeking to
put him upon the defensive, and by in
nuendo and meanly suggested suspicion
create the impression that B. L. Stein
man will prove unfaithful to trust, be-
tray the people and promote uneconomic
government. IL won't win. Such as
saults have no effect among thinking peo-
pie; the source from which they spring
are odorous of political short-hair dump
heaps. The chief regret is that John We'll
should be associated with a contingent
that descends to such means to accom-
plish political ends.

A GOOD BILL IF MODIFIED.

Senate Bill No. ASS provides that
proprietors of places of public amuse-
ment or entertainment. such as theaters,
opera-houses, race courses, museums and
the like, shall not refuse admission to any
persons who present ticket of admission
and who are not under the influence of
liquor or guilty of boisterous conduct.
The bill is one thai, with notifications,
should pass. AS it stands it is error.
Under the bill notorious women, the low
est of the demi-monde, could purchase
tickets to an opera or dramatic per-
Torrance, and, despite the protests of the
management, seat themselves among de-
cent women, and fiaunt their shame in
the faces of honest wives and virtuous
daughters. Surely the friends of the
measure should not wish such state of
things.
So, too, take swimming baths and en-
tertainments to which clearly only the de-
cent are expected to come. bazars and

IN a NUTSHELL.

We believe that the New York Com
noerciaL Advertiser has put the best of
reasons for Hawaiian annexation into a
nutshell of expression when it says:
When a people proves itself unable to main
tain a stable government, 1t is the province of
higher civilization to step in and supply the
need. The HawaiIans are TO be treated kindly.
firmly as children. The time has passed for
seriously regarding them as competent TO
govern themselves or to tell others how to
govern them. President Harrison has more
wisely taken his counsel from superior, trust
worthy Anglo-SaIons. Then, his duty clear
lie ceased TO talk, and acted. The Anglo,
SaXons are the nation-builders of the world

but TO pirate OF the Justice" of temporizing

Is to forget the history of nations in all times
under the grim but beneticent law which con

OF government.
That is we'll said-concisely and strongly
said. When Princess Kaiulani tells us of
'her people, and the necessity and just
ness OF consulting the pure Hawaiiars"
in this matter, she touches the quick.
She is not herself pure Hawaiian, but
half-breed. The intellectual capacity and

elf-government; the men who have he
come Hawaiians by adoption and years
of devotion to Hawaiian interests are of
Anglo-Saxon descent in the main. They
represent advancement, progress and
strength; the pure Hawaiian represents
decay, retrogression and weakness.
There is, after all, more of sentiment than
OF politics in this whole matter; for an
nexaIion. is in harmony with the pro-
gressive, enlightening, uplifting senti-
ment of the age; pure" Hawaiianism is
the reverse of these.

denizens of helltown should not be ex-
cluded. But under this bill they could
not be kept out if they purchased ticket
by hook or by crook.
So, too, if a public ball is given for an
admission fee and to which the public is
invited no one will except to the man
ayers excluding those whom they and the
patrons they expect to attend deem dis
reputable characters; what such are will
differ in different places and under differ
ing circumstances. There are cities in the
Union where the notorious gambler is re-
fused admission to public bazar or fair
as quickly as is the courtesan. There are
public entertainments in California where
either is welcome, and others where one
is and the other is not, and still others
where neither need apply. There are
public entertainments where the color
line is drawn and others where it is not
and by common consent there is no pro-
test entered. 1t would seem to be no
wrong to concede to a management
the right to prescribe the terms of admis-
sion when the character of the ticket
holder is deemed essential by the manage
ment to the success of the business.
The bill we believe grows out of the
fact that two reporters were not long ago
excluded from race track simply be-
cause they had exercised their right to
criticlse in the papers they represented
alleged dishonest methods of the man
agement of the course. That exclusion
was outrageous: it was in the nature OF
the threat of private censorship.
The bill will be right, and it ought to
pass, and is really needed, with the pro-
viso attached that the management of any
place of amusement or entertainment
may prescribe rules, and if so, must post
them conspicuously, by which the man
agement reserves to itself the right to ex-
pei or refuse admission to any persons
for reasons set forth in the regulations.
But these reasons should run only to the
fitness of the applicant in the matter of
cleanliness of person, decency of charac-
ter, and so on. Indeed, SO long as the
rules of place of entertainment are gem
eral in their application and are not per-
sonal, and are made public and notori-
Gus, we do not see why the management
should not be protected in the right to
prescribe what people it invites to and
what it excludes from its entertainment.
That right is now conceded, and all man
ayers by common consent exercise it.
Nevertheless, a bill to prevent the abuse
of that right, or its exercise for merely
personal and unworthy ends, and in vio-
lation of the rights of others-and that is
really the purpose of the Senate bill
should be commended and put upon the
statute book, to set the questions in
volved at rest, and to prevent such in
justice as that in the special case referred

THE cAMINErrI B1LL-Acr1oN.


Now that the Caminetti hydraulic min
ing and river reclamation bill has been
signed by the President, and thus be-
come law, the question of speedy action
under it becomes prominent.
From the past experiences of our peo-
pie with Federal departments there
would be warrant for tie fear that nothing
will be done for year or two-that the
War Department and other officials will
take ten or twelve months to think over
the matter, and ten or twelve more to
act upon it.
What the friends of the rivers and of
mining should join hands in doing now is
in prodding the Federal departments to
action. There would seem to be no rea-
son why the Engineering Commission
should not be named in week or two
Just as well as a year hence. Conceding
That custom and the gray of age have APP
parently hallowed the convention which
makes Government departments move
slowly, this case is an exception; one in
which there should be prompt action, be-
cause great commerce is waiting; be-
cause cities and towns on river stretches
are waiting; because settlement, develop
ment, prosperity and the needs of an in
dustrial people demand speedy action.
and which at the best will stretch over a
weary length of time.
One important thing the valleys and the
mountains ought at once to petition the
appointing department upon-and that is
the location of the headquarters of the
engineering Commission. That body
should be close to its work, it ought to be
removed from the atmosphere of San
francisco, into which it will go unless the
War Department directs otherwise. The
Commission ought to be open to testi-
mony by the people in certain cases. and
doubtless will be. 1t would seem to be
kind of tribunal that is to ascertain facts
not all of which are of record, or ara
sensible to vision. But whether the Com

ought to sit either in Sacramento or
Marysville, certainly not in San Fran
cisco, arms length away from the problem
it is to handle, and in an atmosphere that
is not notable for its friendliness to either
valley or mountain, except to the extent
of gain the metropolis can make out of
each.
1t the Commission is seated here or in

ways an advantage; near to the scene of
its examinations, always promotive of
rapidity; it will be within easy reach of
the people of mining and of river sections.
and will have besides, at its easy COM
mand, all the data accumulated during
several years by the State Engineering
Department relative to past river condi-
tons. The fitness of things in all ways
points to the wisdom of locating the head
quarters of the new engineering board
close to the scene of its labors.

OAKLAND papers express the opinion
that under the purity of elections bill,
now law, political committees are not
required to name finance committees re-
quired by the law for the spring elections,
because the bill did not become law
until after the political committees or
conventions had nominated.
That is by no means settled. The law
does not say when the finance committee
shall be named and certified to the County
Clerk. The presumption is that it must
be named in time to receive the money
candidates propose to contribute to it.; or
that it must be named at the time candi-
dates are nominated, but certainly some
time before election. Since the nominal
tons were made before the bill become
law, it would seem to be the proper
thing to do to name the finance COM
mittees at once. Clearly a committee is
commanded. and clearly, too, it becomes
a duty to name it the moment the bill
became law.
Oakland holds an election on the 18th
inst, Sacramento on the 18th inst; the
law applies to both elections; candidates
must file reports under it after the cleo
tons; they must therein set forth all the
permissible OUTLAWS made. This they
cannot do properly unless the finance
committees are named. We repeat, the
wise thing to do is for each party to GER
tify to the clerk the names of its finance
committee at once. Such action can do
no harm at least, and will manifest dis
position to obey the spirit of the new
law

THE PAROLE BILL.

The Assembly yesterday refused pas
sage to the Senate ,substitute) Bill No.
1877, establishing parole system for con-
victs. The Senate passed the original
bill, which was wise action. A motion to
reconsider has been made in the As
sembly. 1t ought to prevail.
The bill proposes nothing new. The
system has been tried and has proved
economic and in all ways successful. The
details of the operation of the system have
been repeatedly set forth in these
columns, and citation of proofs of its
benetcent character made in great num-
Der. 1t has the approval of all advanced
penologists, and, as a reformatory meas
ure, we believe that it stands head and
shoulders above any.
The Assembly ought to prove equal to
thorough comprehension of the worth
and economic character of the parole sys-
tenn. We are perfectly well aware that
there are some related to prisons in Cali
fornia who are opposed to the system,
but their opinions are overborne by the
judgment of scores of experienced pencil
ogists who have had opportunity to study
the practical working of parole systems,
and who speak by the card. California
can well afford to try the experiment the
bill proposes; it can do no manner of
harm TO give it trial.

ARARE OPPORTUNITY
Good Agricultural Land for $40
to 500 per Acre.

The Pacific Improvement Company has re-
Gently purchased twelve thousand ceres Of
land in the heart of Feha.na County. for the
purpose of promoting subdivision and settle
ment. This land embraces lands from first
class Sacramento Valley agricultural land. to
land OF ia1r average quality, and is offered at
from $40 to $50 per acre. in subdivisions of
40, so, 120, 16O and 500 acres.
The terms upon which these lands are offered
are especially attractive. They Will be sold in
subdivisions, as above indicated, by the paw
ment of interest only for three years, at which
time the purchaser can begin the payment OF
principal by paying the first OF five equal an
nual installmonts. Thus no part of the prin-
cipsl is to be paid for three years. and then
the purchaser is to have five years in which to
pay nve equal annual installments, with in
terest at the rate of Z per cent per annum.
making payments extending over a period of
eight years. Intending purchasers are as
sured that this is an opportunity to purchase
land OF fair average quality at $40 per acre.
and good agricultural land at $50 an acre.
with other grades Of land at prices TO CORE
spond between these figures.
The assertion is frequently made that good
lands, suitable for genera! farming and es-
pecially adapted for fruitgrowing. cannot be
had in California for less than from SEQ to
500 an acre. An examination of the land
subject of this advertisement will prove to
home-seekers that this is an opportunity for
the purchase OF good agricultural land at $40
an acre, and for qualities grading down to fair
agricultural land at SO an acre, on terms OF
payment which should make the disposition
of these lands to actual settlers result easy of
accomplishment.
The primary object of the purchase of this
body of land was the breaking up of large
holding for the purpose of promoting its set
tlement in smaller quantities and its devotion
to diligent husbandry.

THE Yosemite wagon-road bill, the
unwisdom and dangers OF which we
have pointed out, has made the trip
nearly complete to the statute book. 1t
will be regretable if it becomes a law.
Besides what has been advanced against
it it is worthy of note that it is ill-guarded
so far as the State is concerned. The
whole matter is committed to the Super
visors of county, and what they order
and accept goes" and the State Treasury
must respond. There is no requirement
as to what the road shall be, how it is to
be constructed or protected or cared for.
1t is simply provided that the Supervis-
ors of Mariposa shall build wagon-road
and the State shall pay for it. Whatever
the Supervisors choose to accept as road
must be paid for by the State. We sub
nit that this is very loose legislation.
