INDORSBD BY HONEST HOROEMEN.
A Local Board of Control to Settle
All Disputes.
It's Decisions to be subject to Appeal
to the National Trotting Asso-
ciation's Board.

Persons interested in trotting, espe-
cially in honest and square sport, have
been discussing the contents of tele-
gram received few days ago from Chi
cago embracing the action of the National
Trotting Associations Board Of Review
on subject of much importance to trot-
ting interests in California. The action
was taken at the annual meeting of the
association, and is as follows:
1.-THE Pacific District Board is hereby
delegated authority to try all cases aris-
ing in said district, subject TO the right of
any party to appeal from its judgment to
the national board.
Associate mem bers in said district are
required to report ali fines, suspensions
or other penalties imposed by them to
the Chairman or Secretary of said board
tor Immediate notification to all other
members in said district and to the Sec
retary OF the association.
''Said board may meet at will and
transact any business within the scope of
its authority after due notice to the par
ties directly interested in its proceedings"
Regarding this matter gentlemen who
is much interested in the success of the
undertaking, and who believes it will
prove of national benefit in many ways,
says:
This action of the National Trotting
Association establishes on the Pacific
coast department with full and COM
plete authority to try and decide all cases.
with the right of appeal to a superior
court Of an established reputation and
national character, removed from local
influence or sectional prejudice.
with this concession to the Pacific
coast there can be no good reason for the
Occidental Trotting Association, as all
business could be transacted as expedi-
tiously by the district board as by the
proposed new association.
1.-THE embers of a national or central
association will have the protection and
support of an organization OF long stand
ing and established reputation, and will
be in harmony with the trotting and
breeding interest of the whole country,
the value of which cannot be overesti-
mated by those who are raising horses,
either for the market or for racing pur-
poses.
sit is to be hoped that the district men,
bers OF the Pacific coast will cordially
give this action their Endorsement and
support, thereby promoting that unity
which is necessary to strength and sue
cess.
California cannot afford to stand out
as faction, but should be fully and
strongly represented in the National or
American Association. Our trotting in
terest is of too much Importance to be
belittled or sidetracked with local aSso-
citation. Our horse breeding interest is
OF national importance and should have
national administration"

SOME reformers say "Profit is the one great
crime of the present age" and declare that at
must and shall be abolished" There is to be
no incentive to individual business prudence
no family considerations allowed, Profit
must inure to the benefit of all. Is that what
the Commonwealers are on the road for P
Petaluma Courier.
Not all of the rank, but behind many
of the leaders, are those who haye pre-
cisely that end in view. Their unthink-
ing victims cannot see that such doc
trine would destroy their last chance and
hope of independence.

WHILE the investigation is not yet con-
cluded, enough is known to make it GER
tain that two United States Senators were
recently offered large sums of money to
vote against the tariff bill; that both re-
fused the offer, and at once took many
people into counsel, and thus fixed be-
yond question the circumstances of the
attempt to bribe, and the fact of refusal.
This was wise action. Had the two
Senators at once have made public the
fact of the attempt the accused would have
entered denial, and the matter would have
stood on charge and denial, without sup
porting testimony. AS result suspicion
ators of an attempt to make capital at the
expense of opponents of the tariff bill.
But the course pursued led to others being
made witnesses, practically, to the offer
of bribery, aud thus the fact appears TO
be established beyond doubt that the at
tempt was made, and that it was instantly
rejected and exposed. The outcome will
have tendency to inspire respect for the
Senators and to do credit to the body of
which they are members, since it did not
hesitate an instant to enter upon the in
vestigation, and gave its committee a
carte blanche commission to overhaul the
whole Senate, if it chose, and bring to
light any act of corruption in relation to
the tariff bill. This constitutes public
invitation to anyone having knowledge
OF unclean conduct in the premises to
come forward and give the facts to the
committee.

IT looks very much as if the downfall
of the French Ministry was invited by
the Ministers. Certainly the simple ques-
ton that made the division was not Of
sufficient political moment to make a
permanent rupture. The Ministry had
in effect granted ali that was asked until
in a moment of apparent passion it with
drew its acquiescence and went down
as if gladly.

AMTJSEMENTS

A third good audience witnessed the
presentation of "The Mikado" at the
CIunie Opera-house last night, and it was
a thoroughly well-pleased audience.
Among those whose leading parts add
materially to the success of the perform
ance is Mr.. McFadden in the title role of
the opera. His voice is a strong, reliable
second bass, and he uses it with good dra-
matte effect. A low-comedy attachment
to the operas given by the company is the
acting Of Master Clyde Stanley, who evil
IDENTIFY has natural ability in low-comedy
directions of good order. "The Mi
kado" again tonight. ''Olivette'' is in
rehearsal for presentation next week. 1t
will serve to introduce in opera we'll
known tenor of this city, Mr.. Long
bottom. whose voice is certainly equal to
the demand. If he develops dramatic
capacity, as is expected, he will prove a
decided acquisition. He will enjoy the
happy advantage of being surrounded by
capable and experienced people of the
operatic stage, who have the reputation
of being kindly and helpful to beginners.
AT the Sixth-street NJ. E. Church this
evening, William II. Sherwood, Director
of the Chicago Conservatory of Music,
will give piano recital. He is an Ameri-
can born and developed musician, who has
availed also of the very best instruction
to be had in Europe. He was a class
mate in Germany with Moszknowski,
Scharmenka and artists of like promi-
nence. He has given concerts in the
most critical musical centers of Germany
with entire success. Several of his pupils
now live in Sacramento, and largely
through their influence he comes here to
give a recital. Those familiar with his
career are very emphatic in pronouncing
him the foremost American pianist. An
excellent programme has been prepared
for to-night's concert.

a LONG stride in advance has been
made for decency by recent decision of
the Supreme Court. True, the principle
it announces is old, and was clearly set
out by the Supreme Court by the decision
of Justice Sanderson in Sacramento
case twenty-five years ago. But the
dives since then have been defiant, and
doubts of the law have been uttered until
it seemed necessary TO have the question
again settled. A San Francisco anti-dive
ordinance Of last year provides that
liquor licenses shall not be issued for
places frequented by women. A dive
keeper was refused license on that
ground. He applied for writ of man
date to compel the authorities to issue
the license. The Superior Court denied
the application and the dive-keeper ap-
pealed. The dive proprietors raised a
purse, and the legal battle went on
in the Supreme Court. That tribunal
has just affirmed the decision of
the court below, holding. in effect, that
such q municipal ordinance is not dis
eriminative; that it is not class or special
legislation; that municipalities, un-
der the power given them to establish
local police. health and order regulations,
may set up any such standard of require
ment as prerequisite to the issuance of
liquor license. That settles the matter,
and cities and towns need to hesitate no
longer; they have ample power to de-
clare what shall be the conditions under
which licenses are to be issued. Conse-
quently they have full power to crush
out the dive and all low class places. the

In my drives recently / have several
times met a small young Indian woman
with wares Of her ancient craft to sell.
Her pappoose was always IN her arms ;
a plying providence, / thought, had
made it too light and delicate. She in
variably gave me a pleasant nod and
smile, and / greatly admired her modest
grace, her delicate hands and feet, her
cleaning, beautiful teeth and eyes. But
Just above her brow was an unsIghtly
band, about two inches broad, of start
ling badness, with not a vestige on it
Of the luxuriant growth of hair that
covered the back of her head. ] caught
myself wondering what 1t meant.
A scald perhaps. At worst, i thought,
her lord and master. in a moment Of
jealous passion, had torn away her raw
en- locks, and thus dis6gured her. And
| pityingly reflected how pentent he
must now feel. / was disabused yester-
day Of my comparatively humane sup
positions. l met them moving their
camp. Her stalwart husband led the
van with gun, his only freight, on his
manly shoulder. Meekly following him,
with her baby in her arms, was the lit
tie squaw, loaded with a basket, piled
so high with tents and kettles, and all
their earthly possessions, that from the
rear she was completely hidden from
sight. And, the horrible barbarism :
the whole weight sustained from her
bended head, across which was leath-
er strap, suspended from It was the
monster and heavily packed basket
That then was the solution Of the mys-
terry That rawhide thong had worn
bald the patient, bowed head. She was
not even able to lift her eyes to mine.
We pride ourselves upon enactlng
merciful laws against cruelty TO am
mails. What code Of ethics, in this fin
de steele, protects that poor little beast
Of burden ?
l had Just been reading with great
pleasure in "The Union Signal" shad-
owing its pages with difficulty from the
too ardent light of a cloudless sky, Mrs.
Henry's feryent address in which she
saws, "Women would rather have an
ounce of justice than a ship-load Of
chivalry." How Mrs. S. elOquently
SAYS that "a seed that has once burst
its shell and started a root for itself can
never be crowded back again into that
shell, and a woman who has once gained
her independence will not again become
dependent" After that sight, in the
trenches of the free and public road,
my newspaper and the inspiriting spring
day, lost all charms for me.
MY ears became deaf TO The music Of
the mocking birds momentarily Eosed
upon and ecstatically swinging from one
puIsatlng branch to another. My heart
followed after that little burdened form, |
whose naked feet were picking their
way with difficulty in the thick mud,
"a thing the thrush might pity, as she
sits brooding in quiet in her lonely |
nest !" QUIEE SABE.
