"PRIvATE ENTRANCE FOR La
DIES.''

The "Priyate Entrance for Ladies" to
low saloons has again justified itself as a
most deadly enemy of society. The in
describably horrible murder in one OF
these deadfalls in San Francisco this
week was unquestionably committed
without malice. 1t was the outcome OF
rum, pure and simple, through the
agency of the "Private Entrance for
Ladies'"
A woman represented to have been an
exemplary wife and mother. puts her in
fant to bed, leaves her home and in few
hours is found in a "Private Room for
Ladies'" an annex to a saloon, dead, and
evidently killed after a manner that can
not be mentioned. Her murderer is
taken, covered with the woman's blood
and maudlin drunk. That is all there is
to it. There was no plot to kill. no ac-
complice except the Private Entrance
for ladies'; no use of an ordinary
weapon; no apparent motive, such as
usually actuates murderers. It was sim
ply and only murder by the Private
Entrance for Ladies'"
But society licenses these hell-hoIes: it
takes toll upon the revenue they extort
through depraved tastes; society is, in
short, in open and unblushing partner
ship with the vilest and most disgraceful
means Of gratifying low appetites. So
ciety is pdrticepS c1'iH1iniS in the murder
Cf Mrs. Critics, and will continue to be
partner in all such crimes, as long as il
declares the business of running private
entrances for ladies to doggeries a legiti-
mate business.
1t is replied as it was in San Francisco,
when the proposition to forbid the keep
ing of these hell holes was afoot, that in
this broad land of liberty it is human
right to keep such places, of which the
citizen cannot be lawfully deprived. But
that is a senseless plea. Organized soci-
ETY. protects itself from danger in the
storage Of explosives; it rightly extends
,
sale of liquors to minors under a certain
age; it lawfully. and by virtue of the
right of self-prOtection, prohibits the dis
pensing OF poisons, the keeping of disor-
derby houses. and the disturbance of the
rest OF the people in the hours of rest.
Society has the right to clear its skirts
of iurther completely in crime committed
in these saloon annexes, by refusing to
license them. The decent dealer in in
toxicants wants no such supplemental
aid to his business. He does not wish to
be classed with the hell holes of which we
speak; he demands that discrimination
be made in these matters, and it must be
done, or State and municipal govern
ments must continue to be shares in the
crimes these low places nightly grind out
of the grist that comes to their infamous
mills.

WHAT shame it is that on the doors
of an American courtroom such sign as
this must be displayed: "Gentlemen
Desiring to Enter the Courtroom Will
Please Leave Their Guns in the Clerks
Office" Yet that is the placard hung out
in Fresno at the Heath trial. Probably
the county pays the cost for a small boy
to furnish tag checks to gentlemen"
who deposit their guns. No one appears
to have thought Of arresting those who
produce their pistols from hip-pockets or
other hiding. In fact, the ordinances
against carrying concealed weapons are
ignored completely.

do not reside here permanently. All
that is purely gratuitous on the part of
the Erpositor, and it knows it.
But, as we said, the squib serves to il
lustrate the petty vice and unmanly con-
ventionality that makes a Capital City a
/ target for the filings of all hands. Sacra-
mento is not in the least disturbed over
such things-it got rid of sensitiveness on
such points long ago. But it is fitting,
and only the dictate of common manli-
/ ness, to express feeling of disgust that
any representative journal should so far
step out of its way as to say of one of the
! cities of its own State that it needs no in
| dustries and is well enough off with a
legislative infliction and the State expo
sition. Some day it will dawn upon en-
lightened journalism that it is a dirty
bird that fouls its own nest; that it is not
IN the direction of State building to pull
down or malign any community in its
State that is guiltless of wrong to the
State.
| The Legislature does meet at the Capt.
tal City once in two years; it will con-
tinue to do so whatever town may be the
/ Capital. But Sacramento sends but four
one hundred and twentienths of the com
ponents of the body, and none of the riff
raft that hangs to its skirts-that drift
all comes from other towns, counties and
cities. Sacramento may not be as white
as the archangel's robes; it may not be
above the Weaknesses of common hu-
manity; but pray charge only so much of
the Legislature to it as lawfully it may
/ be called to account for.
1t is true that the annual exposition of
the State Agricultural Society is held
here. 1t is State institution, and Sacra-
mento does by it precisely what any town
honored by its location ought to do
| Would Fresno do less, or more? Would
any one who stops to think expect fair
to be wholly delocalized, no matter where
| located? We think not?
No; our contemporary, which is gener-
ally level-headed, has simply permitted
itself to indulge in a common and very
mean sort Of target practice, and we will
guarantee that the E.rpositor is ashamed
of it already. 1t is unbecoming a journal
of that character, and so much depart
ure from its usually courteous and just
course, that we cannot withhold express
sion Of surprise that it should even once
have forgotten itself, for the sake Of what
it mistakenly supposes to be wit.

4 FAIR EXAMPLE OF TARGET
PRACTICE.
The Fresno E!rpositor says:

Inc FEeSuO ELNOSLOr says:
Sacramento is feeling very chipperv again
having Knocked out the state Capital removal
in the tirst round. The factories big hotels
and other projected improvements can now
go 10 the demnitiOn bOw-wovs The State
Fair. State officers ana the Legislature every
two years are all the industries the city needs.
That is a fair sample of the target
practice that is considered legitimate
against all State Capitals. Our amiable
cotemporary evolved the expression from
its mere fancy. 1t knows that Sac
ramento made no demonstration what
ever regarding the decision referred to.
1t did not create ripple upon the sur
face of society or business here. There
was no beating of drums nor shouting.
Moreover, nothing has taken place, no
expression been made, no action had, no
activity checked, that IN the slightest de-
gree justifies the statement that now

ness, the State Fair, the session of Leg
islature once in two years and the patron

own business, and that the correspondent
is intermeddling somewhat.

ACCORDING to the story Charles Nord-
hotf tells, he having just arrived in San
Francisco from Hawaii, the Provisional
Government is on its last legs, the Queen
revolutionists will have to leave between
two days. He says the acting authorities
are without means and are losing ground
daily, and that the rOyalist party is
rapidly regaining its old strength. 1t is
doleful story that the correspondent
tells, and if half of it is true the cause of
the annexationists and the advocates Of a
republic alike is lost Nordhoff declares
that the people ratified his statements
sent to the press in the lastltew weeks, by
assembling on the wharf as he sailed and
saluting him with bands of music and
floral offerings. and that a representative
man mounted a rostrum and declared
that he had written only the truth about
Hawaiian affairs. and the crowd of two
thousand concurred with cheers. If all
this is true, it is amazing to contemplate
what liars the officers of the Provisional
Government are. If it is not true, then
Nordhotf can take the belt as a phenome-
nal romancist. Certainly the Honolulu
papers do not sustain Mr.. Nordhoff's
statements, but the younger Mr.. Spreckels
ratifies his affirmations. Undoubtedly
the Provisional Government has been
crippled by the failure of the United
States to annex the islands, but we are
unwilling to believe 1t in so bad strait
as the royalists claim.
