lish fair and truthful account of any
proceeding before a public tribunal. If
that be so, then he has the right to print
the exact scandalous matter the law con-
templates shall not be given to the gen
eral ear. He would not do so, it is true;
but his sense Of propriety is not in issue
only the question of right. OF course
the power to punish for contempt must
be kept within narrow and precise
bounds. since it trenches upon the guar
anteed freedom of speech and press, but
1t would seem that in Furnishing for doing
that expressly forbidden-to wit: making
public in print that which the law says
shall not be listened to-the court did not
exceed its authority. Upon this issue
the case is to go up to the Supreme Court,
and we trust that it viii be speedily
heard. We are as jealous for the privi-
leges and liberties of press and speech as
any can be. and equally so for the pow
ers and rights Of the courts essential to
their dignity and yigor. While it may
be that contempt was not the proper pro-
ceeding in this case, it does seem to us
that unless the power exists to enforce
the spirit Of the statute under which the
doors of the court were closed, then the
statute is itself valueless and its enact
ment was useless.

THE CONTEMPT CASE

The statute gives the courts power to
close their doors in four classes of cases
not in the interest of litigants, but in the
interest of society-that scandalous mat
ter shall not be published. to the shame
of the innocent and the contamination of
youth. Of those who are so severely
criticising the San Jose court in the
Mercury contempt case, it may well be
asked, of what use is law which closes
the door upon trial, but which makes
the court ineffective to prevent the pub
hcation of the scandalous matter, the
very thing the law contemplates shall be
withheld from general knowledge? ?
From time immemorial the courts have
possessed the power; wisdom and ages
have conceded it to be inherent power. to
protect court orders and DEGREES from
violation and avoidance. If they have
not such power, then they are helpless
and cease to be of human usefulness. IL
is replied that the statutes do not-in
making the courts, by the act of closing
the door, guardians of the morals of
the community-confer upon them the
power to prevent publication of what
takes place behind the closed doors. or to
punish for such publication. This is
weak, because the power of the court is
inherent, an essential and inseparable
attribute that does not need statutory ex-
preston. If the statute does not ex-
pressly inhibit it, then it is as Of full
effect as if expressed by Act of Legisla-
ture. The strongest point that can be or
is made against the contempt decision of
the San Jose court is this, that the stat
ute having expressly provided for closing
the court doors in certain cases, and for
excluding the public from certain trials
and proceedings, amounts to nmita-
ton of power to precisely the acts au-
thorized, and that publication Of what
takes place not being affirmatively for
bidden, the court has not power to
punish for it. But the reply to this
position is, that if the power is inherent
in the court it neds no statutory express
sion, and failure to inhibit its exercise
must be taken as affirmative of it. The
only issue in the San Jose case, according
to the statement of the Mercury, defend
ant, is, has the court the power opunish
the defendant for publishing that which
the defendant was forbidden to hear?
The defendant claims, under the charter
Of rights, thai he has full power to pub

THE San Francisco NeaOs Letter puts
the matter in nutshell when 1t declares
that the railroads ought to pay their taxes
as do other people, and adds: THAT is
exactly what the railroad folks say, but
claim that an attempt was made to tax
them differently from other other peo-
pie" That is to say, the fundamental
principle of just taxation was violated if
the taxation was made Discriminatory
against the railroads. 1t is for the anti
railroad press a convenient phrase of ap-
parent honesty and high-mindedness to
roll out day after day, ''the railroads
should be made to pay their taxes as
other people do" There is no denying
that truth, and the last people in the
world to controvert it are the railroad
operators, who have rendered the taxes
that they claim are lawful. But the DEM
agogues use the phrase in a manner to
impress the people with the idea that the
railroad companies refuse and long have
refused TO pay any taxes. AS matter of
fact, such contention as the railroads have
made in the matter has been not against
tax-paying, but against payment of So
called taxes which were and are in fact
discriminating levies not contemplated
by the law and not iustifable under it.
This is q proposition that there is no one
so shamefaced as to deny, that the rail-
roads ought to pay the taxes they owe TO
the State, or to any other Governmental
authority. But the truth also is, and it
has had judicial handling and thus far
the railroad companies have not found
their position unsound, that taxes in ex-
cess of what they owe they should not
pay, any more than should the individual
pay tax levied unequally and discrimi-
natingly against him in defiance of the
law. AS the Nea0s Letter well puts it, in
the claim that the excess of taxes over
which there is so much chatter, are not
levies such as are made upon other prop
erty, Lies the whole germ and the es-
senee of the controversy which lasted
several years, dragged its slow length
along in the courts and been decided
every time adversely to the scheming
politicians who were acting in the name
of the people,"

THE San Francisco call says that there
is urgent necessity for definition Of the
term "demagogues." That is easy. 1t is
indicative of the class sofnewspapers in San
Francisco Of which the Cal is type, that
profess friendship for the interior Of the
State while at heart they are wholly in
different to every interest of the interior,
and really antagonistic to its develop
ment, for fear that in some way it will
detract something from the commercial
importance of the metropolis. The word
may be defined to mean the class of men
in San Francisco who preach loudly of
their kindly feeling toward interior
towns and cities, but secretly are moving
all powers of earth and air to deprive
every interior point of independence and
to debar it from availing of natural ad-
vantages. 1t stands for those influences
in San Francisco which pirate of fairness,
justice, economy and the upbuilding of
the whole State, but refusing to invest a

NoTE AND CoMMENr.

The twenty four page special edition of
the Los Angeles Express published on
the 2lst instant was magnificent display
Of newspaper enterprise. 1t was devoted
largely to descriptions of the eight coun-
ties lying south Of the Tehachapi Mount
ains-San Luis Obispo, Santa Bar
bara, Ventura. Kern, Los Angeles,
san Bernardino, Orange and san
Diego-shOwing their resources, growth
and possibilities OF development. One
of the results of the publication
of this edition cannot fail /. to be n
closer relation between the counties
named and Los Angeles in a commercial
way. The Express is doing great work
in building up Los Angeles as the metrop-
oils and commercial center of Southern

A LOTTERY LAW.

Senator Hart's bill to meet the lottery
evil would appear to be comprehensive
enough, and save in one respect suffi-
GENTLY explicit to cover the whole
ground. Lottery dealing is now pro-
hibited by the Constitution and laws, and
lottery advertising by the statutes. But
the constitutional provision has been
ignored throughout the State. and j n the
matter of advertising lotteries the code
has been a dead letter because no official
has had the courage to brave the news
papers. The consequence is that lotteries,
foreign and home, are advertised gener-
ally. The new bill raises the grade of the
ofiense Of dealing lottery, selling tickets
or having them, publishing lottery ad-
vertisements or announcing drawings,
from misdemeanor to felony. The bill
should pass. 1t will be interesting 70
note what objections to it will be adj
vanced, and what influences will be
found opposed to it. In one respect it is
not so complete as it should be, though it
is vast improvement over the present
law. 1t ought to go SO far in defining
what lottery publishing or advertising is,
as to include those transparent tricks now
so much resorted 10, of publishing as if
they were news accounts of lucky
drawing of prizes," yelling paid-for ad-
vertisements under the thin cover of an
item of reading matter. If the bill be-
comes a law, as it should, it viii then be
interesting to observe the officers of the
cities and counties, and. note if they
ignore the law and refuse to enforce it.
There is one provision. however, that
may render the law operative; an induce
ment is held out for informers, as is done
in number of other cases in both Fed
eral and State statutes.

JOHN GORDON GRAY, in the Engineer
ing Magazine, asserts a truth that such
men as propose to inhibit enforcement of
the law of order and protection of prop
erty in labor riots ignore, to wit: "a
large number of people can have no
rights which a few individuals do not
have" When men with assumed gravity
argue that body of workers, like those
at Homestead, for instance, have by vir-
tue of their number rights in their em-
plovers' properly which, if claimed by
the coachman, or house-servant, or clerk,
or reporter, or carpenter, or book-keeper,
or any other wage-earner, would be,

include that large class in San Francisco
who insist that they are public-spirited,
far-seeing and commercially wise, but
grope with the muck-rake in the gutter of
localism, and suspect and distrust every
success that does not originate with them.
The word embraces the so-called mer-
chants Of the metropolis, whose whole
scheme of trade is bounded by the
horizon of interior traffic, and which fails
to take in the world as tributary to the
commercial greatness San Francisco

and from which her lines of trade ought
to radiate to every quarter Of the globe.

The Earl Fruit Company Doing a Heavy

The Earl Fruit company is the largest

packing establishments in all the prin-

fornia, with two of the largest packing
houses in the Riverside district.
The company makes specially of
famous Riverside oranges, and with
their branch houses at Minneapolis and
Kansas City, together with connections
in all other principal cities, their facili-
tis for marketing California fruits are
unsurpassed. This finn has capital Of
over 5000. $50 engaged in the business.
The company's shipments for the year

already much more than local reputa-
ton. Around the borders OF the lake
are scores of thrifty fruit and vegetable
ranches, and here are to be found vine
yards and orchards of both citrus and
deciduous fruits, which for healthfulness
and luxuriance of growth can nowhere
be surpassed. The fruit growers have
commenced to reap the reward of their
perseverance and industry, and the next
few years will witness tenfold increase
in the fruit shipments of the locality.
AS an instance of what may be done
there in the fruit growing line it is only
necessary to refer to Henry Lille, the
pioneer and leading horticulturist. whose
ranch is located on block B, at the head
of Lake Elsinore. Mr.. Lille has every
reason to feel satisfied with the results
obtained from his young orchard. A
portion oft, consisting of nine acres of
apricots, netted their owner this season
the handsome sum of $2700, while the
prune orchard did almost as well.

The Boiling Sulphur Water Pushing Out
of the Earth.
Elsmore is noted throughout this part
of the state for its delightful healing
springs of natural hot sulphur water.
Within q radius of less than quarter of
a mile of the center of the city there are
scores of boiling springs emitting sui
phur water at ell temperatures, from
delicious coolness for drinking up to q
temperature of 1l5 degrees Fahrenheit.
In this same bountiful supply Of min
eral water lies one OF Elsinore's q ,,rsndest
attractions and most valuable resources.
From the earliest settlement # this part
of California the hot sulphur springs
have been noted for their health giving
qualities. There are two magnificent
bath houses, which are acknowledged to
be the finest in their appointments of
any in the state, and thous nds testify
to the health-restoring properties of the
springs. Both bath houses are now un-
der the management of E. u. Bundy, q
sufficient guarantee that visitors will re-
cceive the best of treatment. Elsinore
has two good hotels, and visitors may be
assured of excellent accommodation at
reasonable rates.

Great Ocean of Hidden Wealth Be-
meath the Earth.
Elsinore is eituatad within a n,iIa nj
the richest mineral belt in Southern
California, and is remarkable for the
variety of its products. Here, on the
borders of this picturesque town, yet
concealed by low ridge of hills, lies
the future great manufacturing center
of Southern California. There are mines
and deposits of coal, silver, gold, asbes-
tos, fre-clay, kaolin, tin, iron and terra
Gotta.
The Chaney coal mine is today in a
position to supply Southern California
with fuel, and lie, as matter of fact,
supplying very large portion of the
coal used in San Diego, San Bernardino
and Los Angeles counties. There is a
sale for the coal at fair price, and much
more would be shipped if better railway
facilities were afforded.
The coal industry alone affords en-
ployment to upwards of As men and a
number of teams at fair wages, an item
of no mean Importance in the growth OF
the colony.
The Southern California Coal and Clay
company have large factories here,
which are taxed to their fullest capacity
to supply the demand, which is greater
than at any previous time. The COM
pany manufactures all kind of terra
Gotta ware and sewer pipe, the latter
being the best article manufactured on
the Pacific coast, The extent and i'm.
portance of this industry may be judged
from the fact that the company's ex.
penditures in the colony will average
$2500 per month. There are also large
quantities of asbestos, one of the most
valuable minerals existing.

ELEGANT QUARTERS.
RIVERSIDE KEELEY INSTITUTE IN
ITS NEW HOME.
The Number OF Patients in Attendance
Forced More Commodious Quar-
ters-Additional Cases of
Absolute Cures

Like numerous other establishments
that have been located at Riverside the
branch of the Kelley Institute that has
been there since August last has been
forced to secure new quarters more COM
modious and on larger scale.
During the six months which the insti-
tute has existed Is cases OF absolute cure
OF the liquor, morphine and opium hab-
| its have been made. This is indeed q
magnificent showing. 1t Is fully verified
by the books of the institution and by
the personal testimony OF the cured.
In fact, the number of patients who
are now in attendance at the Riverside
branch of the Kelley is so great that an
increase of facilities was demanded.
A l6room house has been secured at
the corner of Seventh and Chestnut
streets, facing the park. The house is
grove.
All of the 16 rooms have been ele-
gantly furnished. There aresitting rooms,
smoking rooms, bath rooms, treatment
rooms and few rooms for patients.
Gas is used throughout the house, and
there is also an elegant office for the
transaction OF business. all of the
decorations are not only neat and tasty
but really beautiful.
The work which the Kelley cure is
accomplishing is daily becoming recog-
nized to greater extent than it has in
the past. In the new commodious quar-
ters the grand work can continue unin-
terruptedly. The "fake" cures that are
springing up over Southern California
have no relation to the authorized
branch of the Kelley institute at River
side. They are pretended and untested
limitations of the only infallible remedy
of DR.. Leslie E. Kelley.
By all means, if you have friend or
relative who is victim to alcohol, OPT
UNI, morphine or tobacco, correspond
with the Kelley institute, Riverside,
Cal. Here you can secure the infor ma
tion and data which will result in the
salvation of your friend, if yuu wish him
or her saved. A cure is guaranteed in
each and every case. Do not expert

HOME OF DnofDUoUs FRUITS.

They Are Grown Successfully and Ex-
tensively at Banning.
Banning is important as a decidous
fruit growing region, toward which the
energies of the entire surroundings are
now being directed. During the months
OF August and September 100 900 pounds
OF green fruits were shipped from this
place, and in October 80 tons of dried
fruit were shipped.
During July the total freight ship
ments amounted to 21S,9OO pounds. In
August 452,700 pounds, September,
IA 300 pounds, and in October 14l 900
pounds were shipped, making total for
the four months OF 95S,OOO pounds, or
479 tons.
All varieties of the deciduous fruits
are successful in this locality, and many
kinds do better here than anywhere
else. The fruit growers of Banning took
six premiums at the county fair last
October in San Bernardino. Over rs COO
truit trees have been planted in and
about Banning during the last two years.
The town is rapidly building and stead
lily growing in importance.
