Caused BY Woman's Wickedness.

NEW ORLEANS, May Cdr. Samuel p.
Schwing killed DIR. Emil Heriat yesterday
Both are prominent citizens of Plaque
mine. Heriat, who has wife and five
children, became infatuated with Mrs.
Schwing, and their love led to n street duel
several weeks ago, Heriat being wounded.
Schwing brought his family here and
went away on short business trip. The
woman and Heriat then went to another
boarding house together. Schwing arrived
yesterday and went to their apartments
and opened fire, and Heriat returned the
fire. There were eight shots fired, the
only. one taking effect killed Heriat in
stantly. The woman was sitting on the
bed with her child and miraculously es.
capped injury. Schwing was arrested.

SUBSCRIBE TO THE RAILROAD.

The valleys of the San Joaquin and Santa
Clara are waking up to the advantage which
the new railroad will confer on them.
Stockton will take 100000 worth of stock,
and the rich men of Santa Clara propose
to invest million in the enterprise. This
is just what might have been expected.
Those who are old enough to remember the
building of the original Southern Pacific
can recall how that road gave value to
property which was unstable, and built
up towns all along its line. The new road
will not be less beneficial. The San Joa-
quin railroad means money in the pockets
of landowners in both of the valleys
From the list of millionaires lately pub
lished by the New York Tribune, it appears
that more than half the very rich men of
this country acquired their wealth through
the increased value of the land they held;
and almost without exception the in
crease was due to the construction of rail-
roads running through or near the lands.
A farm without a railroad is practically
without a market. The land may be good
and the products in general demand; but
unless the latter can be carried to the con-
sumner, the ranch might just as well be
barren, only fit for grazing.
In the valleys of the San Joaquin and
Santa Clara, the cultivated area bears no
proportion to the area which is cuiti-
vable. Beyond certain distance from a
railroad it does not pay to grow grain, or
beans or fruit. Carriage to the depot eats
up all the profit. Hence large tracts in
both valleys lie idle, and only possess a
speculative value, dependent on the con-
struction of railroad hereafter. 1t is not
surprising that the owners of this land are
casting about for means to hasten such con-
struction by subscriptions to the stock.
Nothing surprises travellers SO much as
the vast extent of unoccupied land in this
State. We have an area three times as
large as that of Illinois and nearly four
times as large as that of Ohio, yet our rail-
road mileage is one-half that of the latter
and less than one-fourth that of the former
Those States are filling up with people and
wealth is accommodating to such an extent
that the center of empire long ago departed
from the Eastern and Middle States. The
proportion of barren land in this State is
not unusually large. The great bulk OF the
idle land is just as good as the land which
is under cultivation. What has kept this
land idle is the want of railroads. If we
had, as we ought to have, 5000 miles of
railroad, we should have not less than
100000 people, and those who got stake
in the State would find themselves as we'll
off as the farmers who secured farms in
Illinois at the time of the war.
Residents of the two fertile valleys do
not do themselves justice if they withhold
subscriptions from the San Joaquin Rail
road. Such investments will be money
from two sources--first, the road will
pay fair return out of the proceeds of its
business, and next, it will double the value
of the region which it traverses.
The morning call., 1895-02-06
OPPOSITION TO RETRENOHMENT.

1t was to be expected that the economies
proposed by the Ways and Means Com
mittee of the Assembly, at Sacramento
would encounter opposition among those
whose incomes were menaced by retrench-
ment, and now these parties raise the
point that failure to appropriate money
cannot repeal statute creating an Office
and fixing the salary which the incumbent
shall receive. The effect of the failure
would simply be to create deficit which
would require to be met by a deficiency
bill passed by a subsequent Legislature.
That is quite true, but there is nothing
to prevent the Legislature from coupling
the appropriation bill with another bill
formally abolishing the bureaus and COM
missions for which no money has been ap-
propriated, and reducing the salaries of
offices whose appropriations have been re-
duced. If, as the public are told, both
houses of the Legislature are in earnest in
desiring the economies proposed in the
Ways and Means Committees bill, all they
have to do is to pass this supplementary
bill and the object will be attained with
out risk OF creating deficit.
The Legislature may as well realize now
as later that the people are in earnest in
demanding a reduction of the expenses of
our State government, and that they are
quite intelligent enough to detect any at
tempt to dodge the demand. Itcosts nearly
three times as much, man for man, to run
a State government in California as it does
in New York. There is no necessity for
any such difference. In the old boom days,
when everybody was growing rich or
thought he was, there was disposition to
deal largely and generously with public
officials, and to spend money with liberal
hand. Those days have passed away. We
are not growing millionaires as fast as we
did. 1t takes just as much work to earn a
living in California as anywhere else. Men
are compelled TO practice economy here as
elsewhere. AT the present time especially,
private individuals have been compelled
by necessity to retrench and to deny them
selves comforts which they used to con-
slider necessaries.
In reducing the expenses of the State
government the Legislature will be merely
bringing public affairs into line with pri-
vate concerns. The people only ask the
Legislature to do for the State what citizens
have been compelled to do for themselves.
Private individuals who spent $4,000 year
on living three years ago are now making
shift to get along with $4,000 or less. Many
wage-earners who counted on an income
of $500 consider themselves lucky if they
take in $1,000. 1t seems absurd that while
every taxpayer is on short commons the
body of taxeaters should continue to fare
in the old sumptuous style. This is no
time for superfuous commissions, whose
utility is denied or doubted, and no proper
season for sinecures, or extravaganza sala-
ries which are not earned. The watchword
of the hour should be Economy and Re-
trenchment.

THE TURN OF THE TIDE.

Whatever may be said of Secretary
Carlisle's financial policy his estimates are
probably to be relied upon. They are COM
puted by experts from a comparison of re-
turns of income as they come in with
similar returns from former years, and
they ought to be as accurate as human in
telhgence can make them. Congress asked
what his estimate of the revenue def
cheney during the calendar year of 1895
would amount to, and the Secretary re-
piled that according to his calculations the
revenue of the Government from all sources
during that year would exceed the expendi-
ture by So, $50, 023.
This means that notwithstanding the
falling off in customs revenue caused by
the new tariff the general business of the
country during the year 1895 would be SO
much better than that business was in
1894 that the Government income would
show not deficiency, but surplus. 1t
means that in few months if not weeks
The morning call., 1895-02-06

the necessity of such makeshifts as sales of
bonds will be at an end, and that the re-
duction of the public debt which has been
suspended since the beginning of the
present fiscal year, may be resumed.
1t implies that the tide has turned and
that business is on the high road to recoy-
cry. Many indications of the change have
struck the public eye. The bank exchanges
tend upward, though the improvement is
slow. In many parts of the country an
improved inquiry for goods is noted. There
is no recovery in the cereal markets, but
worse misfortunes may befall country
than cheap food. In the great trade CEN
tiers of the East one hears less about unem-
ployed men; the recent strike in Brooklyn
was the first movement of the kind for
months, which was based on a demand for
higher wages.
This is so great a country, with such
diversified products and such infinite re-
sources, that it can never inger long in
the slough of despond. 1t is the only coun-
try in the world in which every one is
educated and industrious, and the great
mass of the people are intelligent and
frugal. All Americans earn money; a
large proportion of them earn more than
they spend. They do not waste their
means in wars or in supporting expensive
institutions which are unproductiye. They
are as a rule, sober and orderly. Upon
such people commercial crises infict no
abiding injury; they are sometimes severe
while they last, but the elastic temper of
fine people soon rebounds, and the nation
resumes its normal march of progress
toward prosperity.
In this instance, moreover, the people
took an effeetual step toward restoring con-
fidence by the overwhelming defeat deliv-
cred last fall to the party of free trade and
hard times; and now that the Democratic
Congress has but a short time to live no
fear is felt of the future. A Republican
Congress will soon be in power, and in that
assurance enterprise begins again. Repub-
ican legislation will save the latter part of
Cleveland's administration from the dis
grace that has attended it thus far. The
people understand this, and therefore con-
fidently look forward to returning pros

MUST PAY KEEPERS FEES.
The City to Collect Them From the
Sheriff'S Office.
City and County Attorney CresWelPs
Opinion Sent to The Beard Of
Supervisors.

There is gloom in the Sheriff's Office.
And it is all occasioned by an opinion of
City and County Attorney Creswell on
the subject of keepers fees. The Sheriff,
on the advice of his lawyers, refused to
turn into the city treasury the fees re-
ceived by his keepers. On learning this,
the Board of Supervisors communicated
with the City and County Attorney, asking
whether or not the Sheriff was legally
bound to turn keepers fees under the new
law into the treasury. The board has re-
ceived an answer to the effect that all fees,
including those made by keepers, must be
deposited in the public Golfers. Should
the Sheriff persist in his refusal to turn
over the fees, the Supervisors will take
steps to have the provisions of the law car
ried out.
For years keepers fees have been the
sources of wealth to sheriffs. There is, or
was, no greater plum than these. When
an attachment was brought, and property
taken possession ofby the Sheriff, keeper
was sent to secure the property and watch
it. All that is done in ordinary cases is to
put a paddock ON the door, or to seal up
the entrance with the Sheriff's seal. The
keeper might not go near the place for
days. yet the keeper was supposed to be
in charge, and his fees were running along
just the same.
In this way one keeper could attend to a
dozen different places attached, and the
fees would run up against each place.
Under the law these fees are fixed at $3
day. So it can be seen how greatly one
keepers fees added up. Of course all these
fees were charged up and paid for at the
settlement of the litigation. The poor
keeper got his So a day regularly, paid out
of the Sheriff's own pocket; the Sheriff
pocketed all the dozen or more surplus

The whole substance of the matter was,
he was paid for services he never rendered.
There has been an instance where keeper
has put a paddock on place and departed.
He was paid his So. while the keepers fees
paid to the Sheriff long after by the attor-
ney making the settlement amounted to
$780, 1t is cases like this that have made

LADY FORESTERS QUARREL.
They Air Their Grievances in the
Police Court.
Miss Emily Mohr, EX.TreaSurer Of Para.

beEzIement.

The bitter feeling that has existed be-
tween the seceders from the Paragon
Circle, Companions of the Forest, and the
other members found full vent in Judge
Joachimsen's court yesterday afternoon.
The court was crowded with members OF
the order of both sexes.
Miss Emily Mohr, a prepossessing young
lady, IS years of age, appeared to answer
to the charge of misdemeanor embezzle-
ment, preferred by Miss May Nelson, the
financial secretary of Paragon Circle. The
amount embezzled was $14 rs, representing
dues that had been handed to Miss Mohr,
who was treasurer of the circle up to the
time of the secession.
Both sides were represented by special
counsel, and the attorney for Miss Mohr
had demanded and been granted jury
trial. Miss Nelson, Miss Mamie Ander-
son, Miss Lizzie Anderson and other wit
nesses for the prosecution were examined,
and the feeling displayed toward the de-
fendant was far from friendly.
The defendant in her testimony SAID she
had handed the $14 IS to her bondsman, j..
G. Chase, and had obtained his receipt for
it, which was produced. She did so be-

did not know to whom 1T should be gwen;

has been shown, and I ask you, gentlemen
of the jury, to acquit the defendant. Gen
tlemen, what is your verdict?"
There was chorus of mot guilty. from
the jurors, followed by loud expressions of
dissent from several of the ladies in court,
and loud applause from the sterner sex.
The Judge Immediately adjourned court
and had lively ten minutes with some OF
the lady members of Paragon Circle, who
threatened to take the case to the Grand
Jury.
Miss Nelson's attorney explained after
ward that Chase had been expelled from
Paragon Circle about two months ago, and
with twenty-five other members, including
Miss Mohr had joined the Village Bellies
Circle of the American order. He de-
clared that Chase was not Miss Mohr's
bondsman. Friends of Miss Mohr de-
nounced the prosecution against her,
which they attributed to spite because she
had joined the Village Bellies, where she
occupied the Office of financial secretary
and was presented with a beautiful gold
badge last Saturday night.
