BALCONIES AND SIDEWALKS.
Citizens Who Object to 0beyng the
City Trustees.
Judge Buckley Promptly overrules a
Demurrer to Complaint In
One of the Cases.

The greater part Of yesterdays session
of the Police Court was devoted TO argu-
ments in connection with numerous
charges of violation of the balcony and
sidewalk ordinances.
Judgment was 20 have been pronounced
in the case of Z. Gum, convicted of vio-
lating the latter. When the case was
called his counsel, C. L. White, said Mr..
Gum was willing to lay the walk as soon
as he was able but could neither collect
what was due him nor find any bank to
lend money at present on property. he
disputed the validity of the ordinance in
providing for the condemnation" of
property, claiming that no property can
be condemned except for public use
and before proper tribunal, which hears
both sides of the question.
r. T. Deviin, counsel for the city, up
held the validity Of the ordinance and
the power OF the Board of Trustees to en-
act it. He esaid these objections should have
been made in the shape OF demurrer
during the trial, but the defendant had
not done so, and they could not be urged
in arrest of judgment.
Judge Buckley took the matter under
advisement until Saturday.
Isaac Joseph, attorney for j. Hyman
asked for a continuance of the charge
against him of not complying with an
order TO remove his awning.
Mr.. Devlin thought that Mr.. Hyman
was either guilty or innocent and it
could easily be determined. He could be
arraigned and enter his plea and state
whether he wanted jury or not If be
wished to comply with the ordinance he
could do so, and ii he preferred to fight it
he could say so. He (Devlinl had been
instructed to press all these cases.
Mr.. Joseph then introduced demurrer
which he had prepared, and # was sub
mltted without argument and promptly
overruled by The court, who, after stating
that be intended to push all these cases as
fast as he could without doing Injustice
to the parties, continued the case till Sat-
urday afternoon, when it will lie tried by
jury.
Mr.. Devlin then took shy at Charles
Heisen, whose case had been the day be-
fore continued for three weeks. He
stated that Mr.. Heisen was not taking
down his awning as he had agreed to do.
and he asked the court to shorten the
time of continuance.
The CITY Attorney stated that Mr..
Heisen had not agreed TO take down the
awning Immediately, but had agreed to
have II down and the circular stairs
which he wished to have built done
within the three weeks. He was unable
to get man who could do that kind of
work and have it done any sooner. Judge
Buckley took this matter also under ad-
visement.
Saturday will be ordinance day, as the
cases OF >. Roth and r. BOden for violat-
ing the Sidewalk ordinance were contin-
ued till that time, while that of Charles
Zeimer, who is fixing his defective vault,
was dismissed.

THE CHICKBN INDUSTRY
New Way of Raising Chickens, as
Practiced on street.

A New Way OF Raising Chickens, as
Practiced on G Street.
A new method of raising poultry was
developed at Twenty-fifth and q streets
yesterday.
y white man and negro carrying u
sack, accompanied by setter dog, came
UP the street, and the dog, running into a
yard, picked up chicken and carried it
TO the men, who put it into the sack. The
lady OF the house seeing the act ran out
and stopped the men, who let the chicken
go. When she informed her husband at
noon, he went down town and purchased
a large-sized gun, avowing his intention
OF laying for the outfit and disposing of
them on sight. 1t will be well for those
who already own guns TO keep their
eyes open for the fellows who are guilty
Of such fowl practices and give them a
gentle peppering.

Pat McHale and Mrs. AIcCann Are
still at War.
Patrick McHale was before the Police
Court again yesterday in response to a
charge by his old enemy, Mrs. Margaret
Mccain, of disturbing her peace.
There appears to be an irrepressible
conflict going on between these neigh
bors, and if Judge Buckley can get at the
bottom Of it and put quietus thereon he
will be doing an act of kindness to long
suffering community.
1t usually happens that Mrs. McCann
goes alter McHale for pasturing his
"harses" on her sidewalk, and that the
interview results in his giving her a
tongue-lashing. just what the present
row is about was not brought out yester-
day. as Pat institutes counter-charge
against his accuser, and the investigation
OF the matter was postponed until next
Wednesday.

what Does All This Mean!

EDS. RECORD-UNION: / noticed in this
evenings Bee an editorial suggesting
that the City Trustees take some action
to test the constitutonality of the new
charter. The article seems to hint that
there is hostility to the charter in some
quarter, also the possibility that it may
be knocked out.
The article in the Bee reads as if it had
been inspired by some one outside its
editorial-room. At all events that paper
must have learned who it is that intends
fighting the new charter.
This Quixotic business of the Trustees
fighting mythical foe is all nonsense.
If any one proposes opening a warfare
against the new charter let him do so,
and then, if there be any question about
1t, we can find out where we are at.
1t cost the people of Sacramento con-
siderable money to have that charter pre-
pared. and they voted for it by an over
whelming majority. Now, il the city has
an enemy skulking in the dark who de-
sires 10 annul the charter, let him be
trotted out for inspection. If there is a
'possum in the woodpile, then let US take
hold and pull dat woodpile down." so
we can get at him; but let the Trustees
wait until the enemy makes his attack

Mr.. Lubin's Plan.

EDS. RECoRD-UNIoN: In your issue of
the 18th, Massachusetts Farmers saws:
being an invalid, l rented my farm and
came to California for a time Now. ac-
cording to Mr.. Lubin's plan, my tenants
or myself will have to pay largely in
creased rate in taxes, while my neighbors
almost to a man would go scot free on
their land values from their eultivatIng
their own land"
Yes. it is true according to my PROPOSE
ton. Massachusetts Farmer having
rented his land, he or his tenants would
be taxed at higher rate than at present,
while his neighbors who would cultivate
their land themselves, would not be taxed
for their lands at all.
While it may seem hard to tax an in
valid, the object TO be attained makes it
just aud proper, for it is not against in
validS that the new system Is proposed
but against the renting system. Consider
that on the north side of Sacramento
City there are a, ,000 acres of land IN
body, a small portion of which is rented
out, and the remainder lies idle. The
owner has had repeated offers from buy
ers. but he has not sold, perhaps does not
propose to sell; in all probability waiting
until the hard work and energy OF the
citizens surrounding his vast tract make
him richer without any more effort on his
part than TO simply hold on and do moth
ing. Now, II Massachusetts Farmer
Will take the trouble TO look around, he
will find that the major portion of good
land in California is in Just such hands.
More than that, he will find other sec
uons OF the Union in much the same fix
Nor would renting these lands be an
Improvement, for the curse of God is not
brIarS or thlStleS, nor sweat from the face
or brow, but landlords and laudlordism,
The grace of the Eternal God can never
overshadow our republic if wefollow in
the enslaving footsteps of monarchical
countries. If we permit landlordlsm to
become intrenched as & permanent fix
ture, then the crown and seepter must
follow.
Mr.. Massachusetts, Farmer further
says: ''If he proposes the free land in
order to freeze out alien ownership. strive
for a law that will prevent such owner
ship" Quite right, but, unfortunately.
such a law can never be framed nor
PASSED without a bloody revolution. a
revolution than which that Of ''the reign
OF terror in France would be but drop
in the bucket.
Such is the theory of Henry George in
his progress and Poverty 1t reads
well. it Seems sound, but attempt to
put it into execution in the United States
or England, and triumph it may, but
perhaps not before two-Jhirds Of the peo-
pie are corpses.
The plan that 1 propose will do all that
Henry Georges plan proposes to do. but
in manner consistent with established
order, and resolve itself into battle of
ballots, not battle of blood. My plan
was not evolve from books or agitation

The above figures are expressed in tons, IL
per cent being deducted from the number of
hhds exported to get the tons of sugar; the
term child, although still used by the Custom
House Department, being a very vague enc.
Seeing THAI the hogshead is now almost obso-
lete as a package. the reasons for continuing
to use he term to express the exportc of SUI

Some estates will shew a moderate profit on

cannot be said TO have been a prosperous one

quotation being 1879 per cwt. The price in
the local market for refining crystals polariS-
ing $50 varied from 2.60c. to 1886. pr. pound
during The year; a fair average of price obtain
cd would be 3'O74c. per lb The variation in
value of refining crystals during 1892, repre-
sents a difference of nearly $l3 per ton sugar,
as between the highest and lowest price. The
average net value daring the year of a ton of
yellow crystals with it's proportion of End

tDe1aerGTd tATg 81, olH Det.(
The year now closing has been a very try
ing one for agriculturistssin this Colony. Dur
ing the first six months of the year the lam
fall was excessive. The month OF January
w;Is favourable, with occasional heavy show
els and bright sunshine, but during February
cold, bleak weather set in with heavy rains.
Occasionally for a few days at q time, the
weather remained clear and bright, with
abundance of sunshine, but suddenly the
rains would set in again and the sun only
appeared at rare intervals aud for short peri
dds. Taking the rainfall Of the three Coun-
ties during the first six months, the mean was
as follows :-Berbice Sc inches, Demerara and
Esstquebo 78 inches. The i'll effects of this
heavy rainfall was intensified by the fact that
il succeeded a downpour of 26 inches during
the closing month Of 1891. Berbice did not
suffer to the same extent as Demerara and
Essequebo. Young canes on porous, we'll
Grained soils, maintained q somewhet vlgOr-
GUS growth, Notwithstanding unpropitlous wea-
Their, but those on heavy clay, or badly dram
ed land, had a stunted and u%npromlsing Fp-
pcaIance. The widely different treatment IS
tates within the Colony received from the
Clerk of the Weather is evident from the fact
that, during the year less than 80 inches OF
rain fell on the Corentyne Coast, Eerblce,
while close on 100 inches are stated to have
fallen in some localities in the Deiherara river
district. The export of sugar during the first
six mOntha of the year only reached 29, 40
tons DIS against 1896 tons during the first
six months of 1891. The weather during
July, August and September was favourable
to the growth Of canes, and the output of
sugar during the last three months of tho
year was on the whole much higher than
was generally anticipated, the yields obtain
ed in Berbice being phenomenally good, and
those from the estates on the West Coast of
Demerara exceptionally poor. The total SUI
gar exported for the year may be safely esti-
mated at approximately 104 coo tons. The
exports for the previous 5 years stood as fol-
lOwa--
