STORIES OF THE DAY.

A school teacher sends the following
story of one of its pupils: "A lad was
reading after school as kind of pen
ance for careless reading in his class,
and, while stumbling through a piece
descriptive of the Book of Genesis in
Davis Third reader, he blundered as
follows: Ibid you ever consider how
beautiful are the words, And God
said, Let there be Fire department
(firmament), and it was So? "
The other dav pretty little French
woman entered a Boston newspaper
Office and with a positive air passed an
advertisement through the window.
The clerk looked at it for 4 moment,
smiled and then said: The English
is little bit awkward, miss. Would
you like to make any changes?' The
pretty little woman tossed her head
mo, m sieur, zink / know how to
write &c good Inglis." The clerk
smiled again. ''All right" and he
watched the little woman as she sailed
out of the door. The next morning
the lad" appeared: Pupils Wanted
Mile. Narcotic respectfully an
nounces that she wishes to show her
tongue to the young American ladies. !"
According to the statutes of Califor-
MIA the justices of the peace have no
Jurisdiction in cases where the amount
involved exceeds 5000 A sued Il be-
fore an old squire in the coast range

town and consulted a limb of the

him out of court on no jurisdiction, "
said ). The day for the trial came,
and Il. and his attorney were on hand.
Just to see how far he would go :. let
him enter Judgment against him and
then called his attention to the fact of
no jurisdiction. ''Ah. yes said his
honor. "Mr. :. the court has thought
of that and discovered a aremedy. The
court enters judgment against your
client for s4O0 and issues two execu'
tions for 5000 eachrr And ne did it.

est kind to take advantage of a
mans necessities and force him in.
to the ranks of the criminal classes
for no other cause than for enter
ing this city and passing through
it seeking work, particularly at a
time when the industries of the
whole nation are Frustrated and
work is exceedingly difficult to
find. This is an inhumanity that
would not be tolerated in any old
world monarchy and it is a dis
grace to Texas that it is attempted
here. The commonest human
feeling should teach a more hui
name method of treating these I'M
fortunates who are guilty of no
Otfense but a desire to find work.
When that is made a crime in free
America the Republic has fallen
upon evil times.

FRIDAY, OCTOBER IS, 1898
A BURNING INJUSTICE.

There is a wide distinction be-
tween tramp and an unemployed
workman seeking employment,
and it is a distinction that should
be carefully made by the city and
county officials. The country is
full of labOrers looking for work.
a large stream of these unemplOy-
ed is now flowing into the Miss
issippi valley from the Pacific
coast, where labor is scarce and the
ranks of labor crowded. That
stream naturally comes this way,
and it is of he first Importance
that these men, who are idle
from cOmpulsiOn and not from
choice, should not be cOnfOunded
with the tramp, the man who is
idle solely from choice and who
never works unless on the rock
pile. The natural and inevitable
hardships of the situation are suf-
ficiently severe upon these travel
ing wOrkmCn, who have been driV-
en- from home because the gates of
labor have been closed there, with
out adding to them the burdens of
unnecessary arrest, fines, imprisOn-
m ant and association with Migrants
Governments are ordained as a
terror to evil doors only, and it is
not to be accepted as prima face
evidence that man is doing evil
simply because he is looking for
work. The arrests and sentences
that have been passed upon scores
of these travelling working men,
by the city and county authOri-
ties, is not creditablc to them. and
it is a grave injustice to those
thus arrested. Many of these
men have families in the loca-
tions that they have left, and
every day that they are de-
tanned working for the county
is an injury, alike to them and
those dependent upon them. These
men are not raiding San Antonio.
They are merely looking for work
and finding none will pass on their
way. 1t were more to the credit of
the city to make some provision
for feeding them as they pass,
showing them that all human feel
ing is not dead, than to travel out
side Of the corporate limits to meet
and arrest them and force them in
to unnecessary and abhorred asso-
citation with old soaks, tramps and
petty criminals. 1t is crime to de-
stroy the sense of self-respect in
these men in this way. Laws were.
never made to prostitute Justice in
this way and it is time that some
consideration was shown for the
unfortunate by those who execute
the law and assume to administer
Justice. 1t is injustice of the rank

a wise proposition has been
made to Congress in Nicaragua
canal matters and it has been COM
mitted to the committee OH foreign
relations. 1t proposes to make an
exhaustive enquiry into all the
work accomplished by the compa-
ny, at the hands of a congressional
investigation upon the ground, and
present the results to Congress.
Upon the report thus made intelli-
gent legislation will be possible,
and such legislation will be asked.
1t is not to the credit of the United
States Congress that it has so far
refused its endorsement of work
that promises so much to the ma
tional commerce and government
control of so important a CONNER
cial highway as this canal.

does, but it ought not 50 to be.

The demand for popular suffrage
grows in all the old world govern
ments. England gave household
suffrage. Belgium and Germany
largely extended the franchises lard
now Austria introduces a bill for
its extension in that empire. If a
univeral suffrage meant a univer-
sal development, it would be an
appreciable gain, but unfortunately
it does not.
If true, as stated, that One-fOurth
of the people of the United States
are foreign born, it certainly is
high time that immigration was
restricted until the native has a
chance to catch up. AS it is, the
country is becoming un-American-
lied with startling rapidity, and if
a halt is not soon called the end
will be destruction of all American
ideas.
