MAYOR PATRONS REASONS.
Public Excluded When Certain
Cases are on Trial.

Mayor Patton has made an order ex-
Guiding the general public from attend
ance upon the trial of certain cases in
his court. His reasons therefor are
given i'll the following communication:
EDITOR TIE CITIZEN Il conceive that
a court has two duties to perform:
To protect the interests of the ac-
cuscd;
To promote the morality of the COM
munity.
To accomplish both these ends have
instructed the cl1iet of police, that,
whenever any unfortunate woman is
under charge Ill he Mayor's court he
shall summon all witnesses that she
may desire to have sworn in her behalf,
shall notify and admit to the court room
any counsel she may select; shall admit
any representative OF the public press,
but that beyond these and he officers OF
the court. he shall admit no one to the
court room except on the special order
OF the Mayor.
| hope the crowds OF idle men who
have hit hcrtO made it their custom to
attend these sad investigations, will lake
notice OF TINS order. and find some more
profitable employment than gloating
over the miscries and disgrace OF these
poor women.

HILL FOR FREE COINAGE
REPEAL OF THE SHERMAN
LAW NECESSARY.
"A Free Bi-MetalIic Coinage The

sound Currency.

NEW YORK, July Sin a letter which
Senator Hill sent stating that he was
not able to be with the Tammany
society in it's celebration of the Fourth
of July, he added:
"The unconditional repeal of the Sher-
man act against the enactment of which,
to their credit, be it said, every Demo
crat in congress voted, is the first and
essential step in the right direction.
Such repeal is necessary to lay the four-
dation for the enactment of that legisla-
tion or the inauguration of that initial
concurrence, which shall ever lead us to
the goal of that free b-metallic coinage
to which both of the great political
parties are solemuly committed. With
honorable peace with all nations abroad,
and harmonious relations prevailing at
home, with commercial relations re-
stored, free coinage guaranteed, our
country will enter upon new course
of unexampled prosperity, and receive
full benefits which are capable of bcin Z
realized under our American free institu-
ton"
Speaker Crisp made a speech at the
Tammany meeting in which he said:
The Democratic party is given the
task of rehabilitating a country that
their predecessors in Office had let go to
ruin They will give to the country cur
rencv that will be sound, and substitute
tariff for revenue for tariff for trust.

RIOTING IN PARIS.
The Whole City Occupied nv
Troops.

PARIS July 5.-Twenty persons were in
jured In the students and workmen 5 riot
that broke out Yesterday over the death
OF Nuger, clerk, who was killed in the
encounter between the police and stu
dents in the Latin quarter on Saturday.
Today rioting was renewed all over the
city, and several conflicts occurred
between the rioters on one side and the
police and soldiers on the other. The
crowd was composed of the riff-raff of
the city, the majority being men out of
work and men who never work. The
fighting was severe and numbers on both
sides were injured. The affair has as
sumed n serious aspect. The disorderly
element of the city took advantage of the
demonstration of the students to join in
the disorder, and now, as matter of
fact, they, and not the students, as a
body are responsible for the rioting
today.
Almost the whole of Paris is occupied
by troops who are under orders to re-
press disorder with strong hand.

TRYON RI-UNDERED.
And the Result Was Great Loss
of Life.

LONDON, July 5.-All the newspapers
again published long editorials on
the subject ofthe Victoria disaster. They
generally admit that Vice Admiral Tryon
blundered In giving the orders he did for
maneuver that led to the accident, and
state that he further blundered when he
signaled to the vessels of the squadron
not to lower their boats, for the pur-
poses of going to the rescue of those on
the Victoria. Some OF the editorials
attribute the Vice Admirals error to the
tact that he was just recovering from an
attack of sickness

SOUND MONEY.

1ntimatiOn now comes from Washington
that President Cleveland will appoint del
egation to the Brussels conference who will
represent the Presidents views on the silver
question. Under these conditions Senator
Allison refuses to attend the conference and
Senator Jones wants to be excused. The
original design of the Brussels conference
was TO get European opinion on the broad
question of a return to the double standard
Of gold and silver. The invitation to meet
in conference was extended by the United
States in the interest of silver. We sent to
the conference some OF the ablest American
advocates Of the double standard. The
American delegates did not insist upon i'm
mediate free coinage, but were ready to dis
cuss any plan which aimed to restore silver
10 its old use as money.
Since the conference adjourned the Amer
lean people have elected a god-standard
man for President. To the European poll
1iclan this is equivalent TO change of front
on the silver question. 1t will be urged at
the conference that the American people
have Tepudiated the views Of the former
members OF the conference. This argu-
ment the President proposes to sustain bv
the appointment Of 'sOund-money" man
II the conference reassembIes In place of
silver man. Except the fat-money fanatics
the American people. without distinction
OF party, are in favor Of sound money But
what is sound money? The Bland act of
1915 made all debts except contract obliga-
lions payable in United States coin. The
coin might be of gold or Of silver. but il
must be one Of the two. But it now ap-
pears that the President does not consider
sHVer com sound money. Perhaps it would
be well to settle among ourselves what we
mean by the term sound money" before we
proceed to enlighten Europe.

FLLINd THEIR AccOUNTs.

The candidates who were recently before
the public in Oakland seeking election TO
municipal offices are filing their accounts Of
expenses, as required by the recently en-
acted purity Of elections law. Il is a novel
experience both for the public and for can
didates, whether successful or unsuccessful.
On the whole the effect of publicity being
given 10 such expenditures must be salu-
fary. 1t is not probable that the whole outlay
in an election contest, where there are
scores or hundreds of aspFants, ever will
be found out, but there will only be a per
centage OF the truth expressed or concealed,
and the revelations will be a pretty sure
gu de to the actual truth. a candidate is
only allowed to disburse for election ex-
penses no. more than per cent of the an
nUal salary OF the Office he sOlicits. I'm
uoubtedly through friends there are meth
eds OF eyRding the restraint Of this limit,
but a very large number Of candidates will
be lad for their own sake TO avail them
selves Of its protection. No man in his
heart desires 10 be out Of pocket more than
he can help in vaulting into an Office which

FRIENDS OF THE BOYS.
Trustees of the Aid Society Working
in the Public Interest,


in the Public Interest.
The trustees of the Boys and Girls Aid
Society feel somewhat aggrieved over the
publicity given TO the troubles in that inst-
tuition which have resulted in the retirement
of the superintendent. a member Of the
board, in speaking OF the matter, yesterday
said:
Il think that the character and cost of
the Improvements lately made at the home
lave been somewhat exaggerated The in
StitutiOn has been made clean and comfort
able. but has not been fitted up extrava-
gantly. All the trustees feel that the i'm
provementS were called for, and agree that
they have been economically made. The
facts as We have ascertained them hardly
warrant the report concerning the dff4r-
eDces between one of the trustees and the
former SUPERINTENDENT. No lumber nor
coal was furnished, and no complaint on
the part of the SUPERINTENDENT led 10 his
dismissal. Nothing has occurred that in any
degree reflects upon the integrity of any
trustee. The society has, as | believe,
been managed by the gentlemen composing
tile board with discretion and care, and
nothing has been done that ought in any
way 10 disturb the confidence OF the COM
munity in their wisdom and vigilance. The
efforts of the board to care for the friendless
aud homeless appear 10 me TO deserve the
liberal support heretofore extended. The
personal character of the gentlemen COM
posing the board. as you are aware, is a
sufficient guarantee that its affairs will be
judiciOusly conducted"
In speaking of the trouble at the home
MIR. Haywood. another OF the trustees, said:
II am not in the wood and coal business,
and | only sell lumber by the cargo At
times my attention has been called TO the
need of lumber at the home, and being in
the business / have been able to secure such
either as donation or at cost price. NY
books and those of the home will show that
| never sold any lumber or wood of anv
kind to the institution. On one occasion |
procured some lumber from {. L. Dingley,
and when the bill was presented Mr.. Ding
ley suggested that pay one-half of the bill
and he would donate the other half. l paid
the half out of my pocket"
In confederation Of his statement Mr.
Haywood exhibited a paper signed by
the mem bers Of the Board of Trustees other
than himself setting forth that they be-
lleved that he never sold any lumber or coal
to the society. In concluding the conversa-
ton Mr.. Haywood said, with some show of
feeling: 81 caused the removal of Superin-
tendent Heap, and l am proud Of it. What
did in that matter was in the interest of
the homeless and the helpless and in the
interest OF humanity"
