The REJECTED CORNERSTONE.

Mr.. S. n. Wyckoff writes to THE CALL
as follows:
In your issue Of to-day you call attention TO
the fact that the Legislature just elected owes
1t TO this State 10 elect a man TO The United
States Senate who is well known and whose
character and abilities are such that he will
command public confidence, and that above all
be must be free from corporation affiliations
a low me to call your at ention 10 the fact that
the political bosses have unWitingy placed an
ideal man for that place in just the proper posi-
tion TO become a candidate.
L refer TO Judge J. j. de Haven. He was
turned down by The bosses. and the people OF
California were justly indignant, but If we can
have such men as Jackson Temple and Judge
Henshaw on our Supreme bench ana by the
change could put Justice de Haven In the
United States Senate l think thai for once the
bosses have done US good service.
The election of Justice de Haven to the
United States Senate would be hailed as
the dawn of a new era. 1t would show
that after a somewhat sad experience with
Senators who profess TO serve the State
but 10 betray it California has deter
mined to select representative whose
claim rests on character and distinguished
public service. In the Republican State
convention person named Burns had the
power and the insufferable assurance 20
refuse Justice de Haven a nomination to
the Supreme Court. A feeling of disgust
swept through the State at this triumph of
boss methods which for a time menaeed
the success of the campaign. But Justice
de Haven did not desire to serve as
fulcrum for lever to overthrow the party
whose political prln ciples he believed best
adapted to give prosperity to the country,
His only regret was that he should have
permitted himself to be placed in a posi-
ton from which man of the Burns stamp
could dislodge him. THE CALL does not
say that the Republican mem bers-elect of
the next Legislature cannot show their
independence of Burns in any other way
than by the election OF De Haven to the
Senate. But these members-elect can
show their independence of Burns. of boss
influence and of corporation influence by
the election of De Haven. That De Haven
was singled out for defeat by the political
agents Of the Southern Pacific Company is
pretty generally admit ed. He would have
given strength to the Republican ticket.
but the Southern Pacific did not want that
kind of strength. They want men they
can use and they knew that De Haven is
not that kind of man. 1t may turn out,
however, that the stone the builders re-
iected shall become the cornerstone of the
edlfee.
The morning call., 1894-11-12
LiMPlNG JUSTICE.

THE CALL of Sunday morning reports
Judge Wallace as saying:
There must be something done gentlemen,
TO prevent The attempt al administering Justice
becoming mere farce. This man was ordered
into custody; he was taken into custody, and
then he goes before some officer who &C
cepts bond. Inever saw IL; iJ has never been
brought here. Where 1t is / do not know.
Nobody can find II. 1t Is not to be found in
any public Office. 1t was the Sherins duty not
to discharge this man until he had the bonds in
his hands, and until be had returned these
bonds here before me, along with the fact that
he had been admitted 10 bail, and so l Will
order him into custody now until the law Is
compiled with that entities him TO go at large.
1t seems to be the custom of certain loose
practitioners TO take bonds required by one
court to another court for examination.
Concerning this practice Judge Wallace is
reported by the Examiner as saying:
L have asked repeatedly TO see by what
authority the defendants were released, but
have not met with success. L is extremely dis
tasteful 10 me TO comment upon matters like
this, but il looks 10 me as if a farce were
being made OF justice. Ii is no wonder that
the majesty of the law is derided when the
processes OF court are so openly disregarded.
The law provides very plainly that the returns
on warrants shall be made in the court from
whence they are issued. Il also provides that
when prisoner is released on bonds The bonds
shall be filed in the court before which the said
prisoner is TO appear. Yet, despite this, these
defendants whom / on one occasion remanded
10 jail on $4,000 bail appear in court as free
men, without The bonds through which they
obtained their liberty being file in this court.
All this appears 10 me, TO say the least, irregu-
lar, and certainly demand an explanation.
Irregular" is a mild ierm to apply to
such proceedings. 1t is certainly some
thing more than an irregularity for a
Judge of an inferior court to step in be-
tween Judge of Superior Court and
the enforcement of the Superior Courts
DEGREES. Ii Police Judge Campbell may
release on defective bonds persons whom
Judge Wallace had remanded into custody
why should Judge Wallace take the trou-
bic to remand anybody into custody at
all? There will always be Judge Camp
bell on bench somewhere in some court.
They are important factors in the defeat
Of justice. A very large proportion Of our
legal practitioners could not do without
them. BallOt-box suffers are persuaded
to commit crime by the assurance that
at some stage in the proceedings, if
any are instituted, Judge will turn
up and find a looph0ls for escape. The
proceedings before Judge Wallace in the
examination of Stern berger and Cohen
have been little better than a farce in
spite of the Judges purpose 10 enforce the
law. AS he says plaintively, sit Is no
wonder that the ma jesty of the law is de-
rded when the processes of the court are
TO be openly disrp garded."

AUTHORS ON THE PLATFORM.

There is DO country In the world where
the successful author enlists more per-
sonal interest than in the United States.
The largest reading community of books
in English is here. The author on the
platform, if he does nothing more, greatly
helps the sale of his book. Lew Wallace
could gather large audiences to hear him
talk about how he came to write "Be n
Hur." Only one or two noyellsts ever
made as much money on single book. A
talk about the book on the platform was
a good advertising scheme while the
shekels were poured as it were at the feet
of the novelist. That was certainly good
stroke of business. Some authors are not
so fortunate. They cannot take the plat
form and face the audience.
Conan Doyle is another instance of the
successful author on the platform. He
also undertakes to meet the publlc's
curiosity about his personality, and espe-
cally about his methods. This curiosity
is generally satisfied with q single appear
ance on the lecture platform. Two lee
lures will exhaust all public interest in
the human side Of the man. The mystery
is in some sense cleared up. The pub
lie knew how he did it. There is less
curiosity in England about successful
novelist.
Gable was one of the most successful
story-tellers on the platform. He recited
and, in fact, dramatiZed some of the best
stories in his books. One not only heard
the story, but saw the actor, who was at
home in every character be assumed But
Cable could exhaust an audience in two
performances. When be reappeared some
years later in the same places he enlisted
little interest. Having seen the trick of
the magician the public care less for the
performance.
The author on the platform was, in some
sense, revival of an old custom. In
ancient times the story-tellers were recog-
nized as distinct profession. They
recited poems and told stories GU the
streets and in the market places for paw.
In the absence OF books the story-teller
borrowed traditional tales, and was none
the less rewarded that they were not
original.
Ii Bret Harte mad been somuch at homs
on the platform as Cable he could have
made fortune by that means. He had
mole genius than majority of those who
had taken the lecture field. But Harte on
the platform was striking failure, and he
knew It, 1t was enough for the story
The morning call., 1894-11-12

teller that he could write books, through
which no could win a moderate reading
constituency. The gift of public speech
that Cable had was denied Harte, but he
could tell story in private with as much
grace and even with more wit than Gable.
Mark Twain took to the platform early.
In later years he adopted the method
of telling stories from his own books.
He once made winter campaign
with Cable, each reciting or tell
ing a story alternately. taking the
characters from the books they han pub
lished. Twain probabl m ade more money
for some years from his humorous lectures
than any other author in the country. The
man on the platform with his drawing
speech did not fall below public eXpecta-
ton. Artemus Ward had gone before him
and had reaped an abundant harvest.
Hawthorne, a man OF more genius than
either, was too shy and sensitive TO appear
anywhere as a public speaker. AT an oc-
casional dinner in England be minated
that the short speech he was expected to
make nearly killed him. Thackeray and
Dickens not only revived an interest
in their books in this country oy
taking the platform, but they prob
ably earned larger sums in that way than
have ever been paid for similar perform
ances to any English author. Each Of them
drew larger audiences here than ever
greeted them at home. These story-.ellers
set the pace for all subsequent authors
who had any of the gifts of public speech.
Lew Wallace and Conan Doyle. as authors.
are the latest eruption on the platform.
They may fall shade below Dickens and
Thackeray, but the story-teller's vocation
is still better than it was two thousand

MUST OBEY THE LAW.

Governor-eIect Budd has in for med the
public. through the Examiner, what he
proposes to do with the Southern Pacific
Company and other corporations. In brief,
he TT poses to make them amenable to
law. Ii Mr.. Budd succeeds in carrying
out his programme he will place himself at
the head of California's public men. No
one has yet succeeded in subjecting the
Southern Pacific to law in the sense in
which ordinary people are subj ct to it.
While Mr.. Budd does not explain how he
expects to do what none of his predeces-
SOrs have succeeded in doing, there are two
points upon which he is explicit: First, in
his demand that the Government should
take possession of the Pacific railroads and
operate them in the interests of the peo-
pie; and, second, in the estimate he places
on the value of the proposed San Joaquin
road as regulator of railroad rates. The
present burden of railroad taxation is, as
he says, destructive Of the industries OF
the valley. When a farmer cannot pro-
duce a crop aud get it to market with
some profit to himself he looks about for a
locality in which he can do better. The
San Joaquin road will be built at cash
cost and will be run at the cost of service.
The charge on produce will be no more
than is necessary. 1t does not follow. how
ever, that there will be no profit to stock
holders. Assuming that owners of stock
will be paid 6 per cent on their actual in
yestment. stock will soon command a pre-
MUM. 1t will be as safe an investment as
Government bonds, and more valuable for
the reason that the investment may be
made permanent. If some of the rich
men who are hesitating over this invest
ment Will figure out the premium on
United States bonds payable in fifty or
one hundred years they might be persuad ed
to draw larger checks than they now pro-
pose to draw.
