THE EZETA PROBLEM.

AS is generally known, Antonio Ezeta
and several of his compatriots are held by
the District Court on charges preferred by
the present Government of San Salvador.
1t appears. however, from a dispatch
printed in THE CALL Saturday morning
that when Ezeta was brought within the
jurisdiction Of the court he was on the
American Governments books as acting
President of San Salvador. The acting
Secretary of State. Edwin f. Uhl states
that Don Horacio Guzman was formally
recognized as Minister from San Salvador
on the 30 OF August, 1894, and that Carlos
Ezeta had been recognized as President
ana Antonio EZeta as Vice-P President be-
tore that date. The acting Secretary adds
tnat there is no data to determine at what
Time thelr functions ceased by the success
oil the revolution. 1t appears from this
that when Ezeta asked for ASYLUM on the
Bennington be was the only President of
San Salvador known to our Government.
The ofenses of which he is charged were
committed against his own Government.
The persons who make the charges were
rebels when the alleged offenses vere
committed. While the acts of the Presi-
dent may not have been in accord with our
notions OF conducting war it is question
if body of insurrectionists who were
conducting war Oh the same plan could de-
mand his surrender for acts committed, if
at all, while he was in authority aud they
were outlaws. 1t appears. also, that while

TIME TO ACT.

Taxpayers who are inclined to seek
relief from such jobbery as seems INSOFAR
able from a partisan municipal govern
ment are entTeated not to nominate a
ticket this year lest the result may be the
election of Dr. O'Donnell as Mayor. 1t is
urged that there will be four candidates
anyway and that the nOmn alton of a fifth
will surely elect the independent nominee.
The same argument was used in 1892. Mr..
Ellert, the nominee of the Non-Partisans
for Mayor, was urged good citizen to
withdraw. If he persisted in running, 1t
was urged, the opposition to O'Donnell
would be SO divided that the doctor would
be elected. When votes were counted,
however, it was found that blr Ellert was
first on the list, with the doctor a close
second. The candidates in whose interest
Mr. ElerT was asked 10 withdraw had
never been in the race at all.
Ia 1892 the Non Partisan movement was
10 the nature of an experiment. One of
It's purposes was to find out if there was a
considerable proportion of our people who
believed in taking municipal government
out of politics. The RESPONSE astonished
the orginators of the movement. Almost
every one to whom the petition for nomi-
udtIOu was presented DuL themselves on
the record as in favor of the movement.
A good many who signed the petition did
mt vote the ticket, some for the reason
that they did net like to go in swimming
alone, others because thew had political
aspirations they did not like to sacrifice
until they saw that there was elsewhere
sold ground to stand upon. But very
large proportion of the voters who did not
yute as they talked in 1892 resolved then
that when the municipal election came
round again they would do what they con-
sidered to be their duty. The return of
the municipal election finds a larger pro-
portion of voters ready for non-partisan
ticket than were even half ready in 1892
There was no reason for the movement at
the last election which does not exist n
greater force at present. The exhibitions
that have been made of boss management
certainly do not reconcile the average
voter to the perpetuation of such methods
of government. People who complain of
dirty streets are not paciied by the nforma-
tion that Bosses Buckley and Pepper paid
Bosses Crimmins and Kelly $3.50 a month
to secure the continuance of a strest-
sweeping contract. In the East voters are
moving in the direction Of clean non-partI-
san municipal government. The convic-
ton has become general that honest and
efficient city government can be secured
in no other way

THE EMPEROR's SPEECH.

Whenever the admiration of the world
is aroused by the splendid triumphs of the
German mind in science, philosophy and
the art of municipal government Ii seems
to be the destiny Of the German Emperor
to furnish a demonstration that so far as
the royal family is concerned medieval
darkness still reigns. II is amazing that
in the last decade of the nineteenth CEN
tury reigning sovereign should exhibit
snch Inconsistencies of the spirit CT the
times as William revealed in his speech on
Thursday. In effect bis speech amounts
to the declaration that any one who diff
ferS on questions from his Imperial Ma
jesty is traitor. He says with bated
breath that "word of opposition among
his nobility has come to his ears" He
cannot believe it. Such conduct is '' a
monstrosty." No nobeman in Prussia
has any business to join an opposition
party ''unless the Emperor is at its head. q"
For, saws this nineteenth century sove-
reign, 81 represent the kingdom by the
grace of God" He calls the ancient
classics to his aid, ''EX me mea corona"
Ii seems 70 have occurred to the imperial
mind that his people may not agree with
these rather musty doctrines. In that
case he will fight the recalcitrants. ''FOr-
ward" he cries, ''tO fight for religion, for
morality, for order, against the parties of
revolutionP Eager TO preciDitate con-
tiict between two classes of his people, he
calls upon his psrtisans to 'enter together
upon struggle" against the friends of
liberty, and denounces ''dishonor to him
who fOrsakes his King!'

history. Whenever, throughout the long
struggles of the German people for some
small measure of self-government the
mailed tyrant trampled them down under
his iron heel, he excused the outrage on
the plea that he was fighting for religion.
for morality and for the divine right of
kings But il had really been imagined
that these archaic notions had been laid
away to rest with the queue of the great
Frederick. II William had not spoken,
1t would hardly have been supposed that
Germany, which towers in science and
philosophy. still grovels In the political
school of the TudOrs and the Stuarts.
The anomaly is not unprecedented. The
French intellect was never brighter than
at the time when Louis XIV and Louis
XVI had reduced political government to
an absurdIty. France never produced more
profound thinkers than the encv clop pedists.
Yet it was in their time that the drOit du
reigneur became most outrageous, and
that respectful petition to the KIpg led
to the Bastille. The consequence was in
evitable. We learn in physics that if an
editice is undermined it will crumble, how
ever strong and durable it may seem.
What happened in France will happen
elsewhere. There may come time when
the Emperor of Germany may have better
reasons than be now has for regarding
passing events as "a trial put upon him by

SPEAKER CRISP.

Speaker Crisp has repeated the thread
bare statement that the industrial depres-
sion Of 1893 was attributable, so lar as II
may be attributed to legislation at all, TO
the Republican party. Possibly Mr..

imposed upon him an obligation to give
his sanction to an absurdlty. Certainly,

ing that the legislat ton Of thirty years was

lowing the threat of change of policy
"Fcr thirty years." says Mr.. Crisp, 1.-THE
Republicans had been building up tarIf
walls around the country, and in 1880
passed what they termed perfect protec-
tive tariff" Perfect or not, the tariff OF
1890 kent the country in a prosperous
condition up to the very date Of the cleo
tiOn of a Democratic President and Demo
cratic Congress. There were no signs OF
an industrial collapse until the Democrats
were installed in power. Then, according
TO Mr.. Crisp, the evils of Republican
legisl tion began to be felt. In August OF
the same year, to quote from Mr.. Crisp,
trade was raralyZed, manufacturing had
almost ceased, labor was idle, our banking
institutions were failing, and confidence,

A LAW FOR WHEELMEN.
One of Them Wants Their Rights
Specifically Defined.

Otto tum Suden, subscribing himself as
one greatly interested in the sport of BIZ
cycling" has gone before the Board of
Supervisors with a request that that body
shall pass certain restraining. protecting
or regulating ordinances relating to the
use of the wheel. He says that no one has
felt the lack of such ordinances more th an
the devotees of the sport themselves.
This Il especially so, he says, with re-
gard to Golden Gate Park. ''the Commits
sioners of which have illegally taken upon
themselves a power to enact ana enforce
just and based upon the idea that the man
who can afford to ride in a chaise' is
superior to a0y one else"
The Supreme Court of this State has re-
peatedly declared, he says, that the Legis-
lature cannot. invest boards of commits
sioners with power to leglslate or to
pass ordinances.
The regulations of the Park Commits
sionerS, he says, cannot be enforced as to
any one who cares to test them, and this
fact has become generally known to riders
of the wheel and considerable friction is
likely TO arise between those in control
and the riders on account of il.

TWO KINDS OF MERCHANTS.

The New York Tribune finds two kinds
of merchants in that city-merchants who
deal in both imported and domestic goods
and merchants who are simply agents of
foreign manufacturers. When the Nc
Kinley bill passed the former turned their
attention to domestic goods and found as
large sales and as good profits in that
branch as in importing. But the agents of
foreign mills never became recoDciled to
the Mckinley tariff In their estimation
the prosperity of the country was gauged
by the amount of goods imported. This
class Of merchants are now rubbing their
hands in anticipation of the good times
coming under the new tariff.
