Protest Against an Extra sessio

Protest Against an Extra Session.
EDITORS HERALD: / observe that the
press of this state, and some individu-
ais, advocate measure OF the conven-
ing of the legislature in special session
by the governor for the purpose OF
voting an appropriation OF $500, 600 for
a midwinter fair to be held at San Fran
cisco, and also OF passing an act author
izing the supervisors of counties to ap-
propriste large sums for the same pur-
pose. As a taxpayer I wish to make
known my protest against the whole
scheme.
The state, through the legislature and
by counties, has made as liberal appro-
priations to the great fair at Chicago as
any state in the union. The burden OF
paying this tax falls mostly on the mid
die class of not rich property holders,
as one who reads may discover how poor
the rich are when it comes to a matter
OF assessment and equalization vet
these same taxpayers OF the middle class
assented to these appropriations under
the delusion that the railroads of this
state would carry for one fare. round
trip, the same as the roads east are and
have been doing. But the sequel
proves buSb CH6 IdteS Oh, Ul6 rOaQ9
are not reduced, that tickets are limited
stosso short time, that only the rich.
small taxpayer can afford to take in the
great ex position at Chicago. The whole
scheme is in the interest OF the same
wealthy class, whose object is to pro.
mote blooms" and add to the promo
tion of individual interest, at the ex-
pense of those who can Ill afford to en-
dure it. There is no doubt but that
5000 people from this city alone would
20 to Chicago before September 1st, if
the roads would give onefare rate for
the round trip, with tickets good for re-
turn in 90 days. If some such measure
is not adopted, the natural consequence
would, or will be, that the same class of
people would not attend the fair at the
Bay city, il the roads carried for nothing.
There is very strong under-current OF
sentiment among the people, not only
in this city. but through the whole
state. Why California and Arizona
should be about the only states in the
union Disseminated against is rather
difficult to determines. AS state and
comfy, it is preeumptive that we have
been generous in liberal appropriations,
we nave gone far enough in these times
OF depression TO call halt. Let the
railroads give evidence that they recp-
rocate in the right direction before we
do more. @. l. s.

buggy, when another can, redolent with
the remains of night-before- Chinese
banquet, caromed from his shoulder to
his head, knocking hole in his derby
hat and taking the ekin off the top of
his right ear.
Ramish darted for the Chinaman, and
the Chinaman sprinted for him. Tie
race was draw, both arriving
at the same time, and at once
proceeded to envelop each other in a
most lively way until the one could not
be told from the other. The plucky lit
tie contractor, however, found himself
in the clutches of Mongolian maniac
who had the strength OF half dozen
men, and who proceeded to strangle his
white enemy in the most approved ORR
entail style, with his thumb ON Ramish's q
thyroid cartilage and his bony, long nm
gers COMPRISING his windpipe.
Ramish could not call for help, but
the driver of the garbage wagon took a
hand in the row, and policeman broke
the record and turned up when he was
wanted, and the contractor was rescued.
But the crazy coolie wanted a fight by
that time and he pitched into everybody
in sight. 1t took four men to handcutf
him and half dozen to hold him on the
! patrol wagon which took him to Jail.
He will be examined today for insanity.
Mr.. Ramish was around town last
night arrayed in in new suit of clothes.
a new hat and a new voice, owing to the
rough treatment of his Adams apple.
He would liked to have worn new
neck as we'll, for he had to carry his
head in just the position the Chinaman
left it in as the muscles had stiffened.

He Is Accused OF swindling an Innocent
Q Swede.
Ben Ferner and Bennie Meyers were
arraigned yesterday upon q charge OF
obtaining money under false pretenses.
Ferner is son of the pawnbroker OF
that name and Meyers is young man
whose portrait is In the rogue's gallery
at police headquarters. He was wanted
a short time ago in Portland. Ore., but
escaped upon technicality.
Ferner, it is alleged, was in his moth
er's pawnbroking establishment together
with Meyers, when the pair saw John
Johnson, perfect type OF the unsophls-
ticated Swede, looking at the goods dis
played for sale in the window.
The opportunity was toe good to lose,
and Meyers taking brass chain strolled
out and tackled the prospective victim.
He told johnson that he had gold
chain in bis pocket for which he had
paid $40.
He then explained that he had been
gambling and had lost all his money.
The pawnbroker, he said, had offered to
buy the chain for SO, but would not
take IL in pawn. He did not want to
sell the chain but would take So on it as
loan.,
He asked the Swede to advance him
the money, and johnson said he would
II the pawnbroker guaranteed the chain
being good.
The worthless metal was taken into
Ferner, and it is claimed was bv him
pronounced solid gold, and the Swede
parted with his So, Meyers promising
to turn up next morning at O'Clock
and redeem the chain.
johnson turned up all right. but OF
course Meyers didn't. After waiting
some time Johnson thought he had bet
ter pawn the chain, and going into
pawnbroker's demanded s5 on the
Article. -ftt
He was informed that similar chairs
were sold at So dozen. Then Johnson
collected his scattered wits and swore
out complaint against Meyers and
Ferner.
Both pleaded not guilty, yesterday,
and Justice Seaman set the case for
hearing on Thursday next.
Ferner was released on his own
reoognizance, there being considerable
doubt about his guilt in the case, but
Meyer had to put up bail to the amount
OF $1,000, his surety being Mrs. Ferner.
