law of the land as are the acts of the
Legislature, or indeed-within limita-
uons-as the mandates of the Constitu-
hon itself. 1t passes an ordinance re-
curing sidewalks to be constructed in a
certain manner and forbidding the re-
pair or rebuilding of sidewalks with
wood material. In the next breath it
adopts resolution that where a wooden
sidewalk is below the curb plane it may
be raised to that level.
This is reconstruction pure and sim
pie. 1t is practical rebuilding, and every
one knows it. 1t puts rickety old walk
on new substructure of wood, if the
owner sees fit, and then to make the
surface conform with the curbing he may
relay and refit it-that is, if the order is
worth the paper on which it is written,
which it is not.
We trust that the Mayor will stand to
his guns in this matter. bring the very
first case into court and have it settled
Tor the benefit and information Of the
Trustees, that they have not authority to
license law-breaking; that they have no
more right to grant an indulgence to sin
IN the matter of the sidewalk law than
they have to grant permits to commit
burglary or to set aside the expressed
will of the people that has taken form in
any law, Federal, State or municipal.

XNakeman,s Last Story.

"Old Bells and New," the closing story
OF Edgar l.. Wakeman's splendid "Tales
of Ten Travellers" is printed elsewhere
in this number. 1t is quaint and ten
der New Years Eve conceit; and nothing
could have been moro felicitous than the
authors deft elimination of self in his
bringing together, as real actors in the
closing tale, tho united company of Ten
Travellers, whose individual personality
thus lends the added charm of pleasant
mountaineering. There is nothing in
fiction to surpass the human qualities
and the unvarying beauty and power of
these Tales; and SO endeared to countless
readers has sbecome the supposititious
Ten Travellers Inn, with its quaint apart
ment, cavernous fireplace. "brown raft
ers, decrepit floor and little, high dormer
windows like the portfolios of an old
frigate," that it Will remain loved and
enduring landmark in the mellowest and
best literature OF romance and entertain
ment. Edgar l.. Wakeman has, in these
Tales alone, worthily won place among
the great fictitionists of our time.

"BLACKY'S" BLUFF.
His Wild and WoolIy Story Did Not
Saye Him.

His Wild and Woolly Story Did Not
Saye Him.
That was a very tough story that
"Blacky" Hamilton, one of the boys ar
rested for stealing cutlery from II. X.
Wallace's store, told Justice Devine yes
terday when he, Johnny Gallagher and
Tom Mahoney were being tried for that
otfense
Hamilton had with his pals pleaded
not guilty, but when he had heard a por-
ton of the evidence against him, and
saw there was no getting out of it, he con-
cluded to change his tune and was al
lowed to plead guilty.
The young scapegrace, with the effront-
cry OF book agent. got up and told the
court that he was compelled by a strange
man to enter the store, steal the knives
and turn them over to him, and that he
did not see the man nor the knives after
ward. He said the man drew knife and
threatened to carve him If he did not
enter the store.
'Blacky" even went so far as to de-
clare that he made all the noise he could
so the man sleeping in the store might
hear him and come out and catch the
man on the sidewalk. He seemed sur
prised when everybody in court laughed
at this statement.
The three lads, it seems, took the plun-
der To the Steamboat Saloon on Front
street, where the knives were divided
among them. 1t was there Officer Maley
found and arrested them and recovered
many OF the stolen articles.
Justice Devine found them all guilty
and will pass sentence on them this
morning.

THE SUPERVISOR ELECTION.

The special election for Supervisor in
the First District takes place on Monday.
The Republican nominee is Dugald
ellis. There is no reason why any Re-
publican should desert the ticket, or cast
ballot for the Populist or the independ-
ent candidates. Mr.. Gillis' election
should be assured, that the administra-
ton of county affairs may be under Re-
publican responsibility just as far as is
possible.
Mr.. Gillis is an old citizen of business
experience, intelligent, firm-some think
him so even to the extreme, but it is an
excellent trait-clear-h headed, well-in-
formed regarding county needs, and has
thorough knowledge of county admins
tratlon during very many years. He is
a man of integrity, positiveness of
character. and he is representative of the
Republican party in very broad sense.
Let the voters of the First District stand
by the Republican nominee and give him
substantial majority.

IT is exceedingly popular among a
large class of the sensational order to ex-
claim against the police of New York be-
cause of disclosures made under the
Lexow investigation. We have as keen
interest in reforms as anyone can feel; we
abhor corruption in public places; but
we are conscious of the fact that there are
many. many times, and many, many
cases where the police official is abso-
lutely compelled, in order to be effective
for good in his calling, to submit to that
which will not bear the scrutiny of rigid
inquirers. The man may not be dis
honest himself, yet such are the condi-
tions in municipal life at this day that the
officer who would be of service to the
people must close his eyes to much
which, if disclosed, would result in his
removal and the substitution of less
faithful servant. All men of worldly wis
dom know this to be so. 1t is due to the
fact that police departments in our coun-
try are almost all the creatures of and
under the thumb of partisan politics; that
they are at the mercy largely of those be-
hind the scenes, who compel them to ac-
ton and to silence. This is said not by
way of apology for any wrong-doing, but
in the way of stating simple and we'll
known truth.

was the successful bidder over all the
large lumber dealers on the entire Pacific
Coast: Manager Joseph L. Terry states
that the poles will be of the finest WASH
lngton cedar and brought here by vessels.
Tue first consignment will arrive in
about thirty days. and in all there will be
near 800, 900 feet of lumber.
The poles will be forty feet in length
and sixteen inches in diameter at the
butt, and there will be double line of
them from Folsom to this city.
The undertaking is a big one, and it
goes TO prove that sacramento merchants
are able to hold their own even in large

IT cannot have escaped attention that
large numbers of so-called prominent
men, society figures, bankers and Off
cials, political bosses and managers, have
of late been convicted by juries and
courts in the several States. and sent to
expiate their crimes in prison, while
others, for fear of the rigors of the law,
have fled the country. Yet the radical
socialist and the anarchist, the Populist
and the doubter continue to eXclaim that
there is law for the rich and powerful and
none for the poor. As matter of fact
the rich and powerful have more felt the
whip of the law, in the year past for in
stance, than have minor offenders, in pro-
portion to their respective numbers.

People wanted them, but couldn't
afford $40 and kept asking for the

put into this big, new complete his

But the big history was so inter-

the official records, was so COM

bought it.
Now it is all cut up and everybody

The parts have sold as high as s.

that, but the story and copies OF
