EZETA IN BATTLE ARRAY,
With New Uniform and Silver.
Mounted Pistol He Will
Go Home.
"SeVenty-FiVe Americans Of Bra
Very"-GunS and Ammunition.
A Board Bill.

General Antonio Ezeta contemplates
descent upon Salvador with new Par
isian uniform and a silver-mounted shooter
just as soon as his brother Carlos sends
over remittance to pay hotel bill which
General Warfield of the California insists
must be settled before the fighting begins.
Possibly Ezeta's countrymen, who are
reported to be calling him back, may be in
the same mood as when they chaser Vm
aboard the gunboat Bennington. In which
case the ''seventy-tive Americans upon
whose bravery and fighting qualities he
may rely" will find themselves plning
very much for home, and the four rapid
fire guns, the six gatling guns, the SOC
rifles and the 800, 900 rounds of ammuni-
ton which he is to take on board his ship
at Santa Barbara channel may be con.
fscated.
DR.. Cornelio Lemus, the Guatemalan
Minister of Finance, now visiting in this
City, states that Salvador has had quite
enough of the Ezetas, and if they will both
remain out of that country they may keep
the millions they, or rather Carlos, carried
away. The republic is prosperous and
quiet and there is no desire to plunge il
into another revolution. Antonio Ezeta
has no money and no friends able to adj
vance him any except his brother Carlos
who is satisfied to stay in Paris and hold
what he has.
A P. Alvarez, editor and proprietor Of
Ell Commerce., published in this City, says
that the statement of EZeta going back to
Salvador with an armed force is the
veriest nonsense.
ut is huge bluff, " said he, ''for Ezeta
will never trust himself on the soil of Sal
vador, notwithstanding his fine uniform
and new sword. The proprietor of the
hotel is pressing him for the board bill
and something must be done. Why, the
whole thing is wind, pure and simple. II
he intends to invade Salvador why does
he advertise the fact months in advance
so his enemies will be ready for him?
SIT is stated that his property at home
was confiscated by the present Govern
ment That is untrue, as all he possessed
was given to the banks as security for the
money they loaned him. Carlos Ezeta got
away from Salvador with a large sum OF
money, which was literally stolen from the
public treasury, and Antonio wants to get
his share out of what remains. Since
coming here he has been running into
print with his plans until he has become
tiresome. The people in Salvador who
want him to return are his creditors The
rest of that country are satisfied to let him
remain in San Francisco and entertain re-
pOrterS.

THE LOST FAIR WILL.
County Clerk Curry Will Give $1,000
for Its Recovery.

County Clerk Curry, Private Detective
Curtin and Captain Lees had long con-
sultation last night regarding the missing
Fair will. Mr.. Curry had arranged to
meet Captain Curtin in Captain Lees
office to give him an opportunity of ex-
planning whether he knew anything about
the will.
After the consultation was over, Captain
Lees was asked if he had any new informa-
ton to impart. I'VE have simply been
discussing the matter" said the captain.
'but there seems to be no new develop
ments-everything seems to have been ex-
hausted.'
County Clerk Curry said: 81 believed
that Captain Curtin had been placed in a
false light before the public, and 1 sent for
him tonight to have talk with him on
the subject. I am satisfied he knows moth
ing about where the missing will is. I am
not without hope that it will be found.
II whoever has it is waiting for money, l
will give him $1,000 the morning after the
will is delivered to me, on condition that
the name of the person who stole it is dis
closed to me. You can state that from

straighten matters out little yesterday
morning.
Lawyer Herrick bought an $85 suit of
clothes and sos overcoat from Hart Bros,
the tailors, nine months ago on credit.
But the tailors, having been able to collect
only $40 on their bill, brought suit for the
$40 still due and attached everything they
could in his Office to insure the payment
of their account.
Yesterday morning they were given a
Judgment for $140 and $17 80 costs against
Mr.. Herrick, who failed to put in an ap-
pearance. Another suit was at once
taken up.
This was the prayer of A. B. Heckstein
that Mr.. Herrick be ordered TO pay him
$135 for services rendered. Mr.. Heckstein
testified that he had been employed in the
claim adjuster's department of the South

UNWARRANTED ARREST.
A Policeman Fined Fifty Dollars and y
Sergeant Reprim anded.

Charles Forbes, alias George Wilson, a
colored man, was going to his work on the
morning of June9. He was walking along
Green street with bundle under his arm,
when Officer Goveran attempted to arrest
him for being a suspicious character. Forbes
resisted arrest and in the fight Goveran. with
the help of a citizen, threw him down.
Forbes was getting the worst of it and got
Goveran's thumb in his mouth and bit it.
Just then Sergeant Christensen appeared
upon the scene and Forbes was taken to
the City Prison and locked up on the
charge of mayhem.
The Police Commissioners last night
listened for two or three hours to the testi-
mony in the case of Policeman Joseph T.
Goveran and Sergeant Christensen,
charged with making an unwarranted
arrest
After hearing the evidence the Commits
sioners fined Goyeran $50, and Sergeant
Christensen was ordered to appear before
Chief Crowley this morning, at II o'clock,
to be reprimanded.

Yellowstone Park.

Ex-Mayor Pond has returned from journey
of summer recreation. He visited the Yellow
stone Park and found many scenes to admire
within the boundaries of that beautiful reser-
walton. He speaks in praise of the Govern
ment management OF the park. The hotels
were well equipped, the service was good and
the charge for accommodations reasonable.
The roads in the reservation are in excellent
order. Transportation facilities are ample for
large parties. A party OF 200 persons would
not have TO wait for vehicles and horses.

Spencer thinks George A. Knight has had the
place as long as any Republican should hold
an office, and Governor Budd is reported to
have reached the same conclusion. The elo-
quent knight begs to dissent from this view of
the case, and announces his intention to hold
the position for some time longer. Perhaps
to-day, when the Governor signs commissions
for the newly appointed members of the Board
of Health, he may make out one for Dennis
Spencer as attorney. George Knight may ad-
mre the beauty and style of Spencer's parch-
ment, but his admiration will not induce him
to relinQuiSh the Office.

MRS. CAlLAN MISSING.
A Young Wife Who Has Not Been Seer
Since Sunday.


Since Sunday.
The mysterious disappearance of Mrs.
John Callan, q Langton street, is puzzling
her friends and the police, and every effort
is being made to discover her whereabouts.
On Sunday she went over to Oakland to
visit her father, Frank Rievest, GLIB Fifth
street. She did not feel well, and left, say
ing she would return to the City and visit
DR.. Fitzgibbon on Powell street on her
way home.
Her father drove her to the First-street
station in his buggy and saw her safely on
the train. Since then she has not been
seen or heard of. DIR. Fitzgibbon was
seen by her anxious husband but said she
had not called upon him, which deepens
the mystery.
Mrs. Callan is 20 years of age, and is in
delicate condition. Her husband and
father are crazed with grief at her unac-
countable disappearance.

The people are asking whether this is a

another street without authority of law.

WILLIS BAOHELLERs DISCOVERY
He Finds an Unfished Lake Near Emil
grant Gan.

Willis E. Bachelor writes Harry Golcher
from Emigrant Gap that he has struck a
small lake few miles westward of his
present camping place where peculiar
variety of trout is found. In the past this
body of water was not supposed to contain
fish of any kind, but Mr. Bachelor, while
sitting on the shore one afternoon gazing
into the limpid water, saw eighteen pass.
He forthwith proceeded with brown
hackle fly to extract a couple. Both
weighed over two pounds.
He reports the fishing at Fanchiere and
Trout Lake very slow. but says Webber
Lake is swarming with hungry fish that
rise to fly or as greedily devour worms.

not to think or admit for a moment
that they had any righ> to vote ar
the election next November. It was
because the Democratic party had
thrown open its doors and welcomed
the women citizens of Utah to enter in
and take equal part with men in the
affairs of the party, that our neighbor
was willing the women should figure
in politics at all.
On Saturday morning it published
special dispatch, sent all the way
from Washington, quoting what a
New York paper had to say by way of
advice to the women of Utah, which
was to the effect that:
Sensible women in Utah who want
to avoid interference with the admis-
sion of the territory will keep away
from the polls there in November"
The correspondent who wired that
pernicious piece of counsel knew very
well that it would please the paper
to which it was telegraphed. The
advice was based, no doubt, upon
lack of understanding of the direct
provisions of the enabling act. The
saint lucas Oil Contained III oil oil IASAr
which appears in the San Francisco
Chronicle. which takes the ground that
the authority claimed for women to
vote at the first state election is con-
tanned entirely in the constitution of
the state. That is a grave mistake. It
is derived from that constitution and
the authority of the enabling act.
While it is contended that it was
the intention of Congress to confer
upon women in Utah the elective
franchise. the view is held by learned
lawyers that it was the intention Of
Congress to provide that persons who
were made voters by the cons: itution
should vote on the question of its
adoption. 1t declares that The vot-
ers of the proposed state" shall be
entitled to vote on that question. The
constitution having declared that
there shall be no political discrimina-
ton on account of sex. and that
women citizens shall be in all respects
equal with men citizens as to voting
and Office holding, the conclusion
reached is that women cannot be
legally barred from the polls next
November.
All the arguments, therefore, which
are raised as to the provisions of
territorial laws and of previous acts
of Congress in reference to the right
of suffrage in Utah, fall to the ground.
The enabling act is the latest congress
sional legislation on that subject and
supercedes all the rest. If the view
taken of the clause in the enabling
act which we have quoted as held by
leading lawyers proves to be correct,
the women citizens of Utah have just
as much right as the male citizens to
register and to vote at the first state
election, and for the ratification of the
constitution, and counsel to them to
keep away from the polls is i'll advised
and we do not think will be followed
by any considerable number Of the
fair sex.

ENFORCING UNPOPULAR LAWS.


The enforcement of the excise laws
in New York has proved unpopular.
Had they been mildly enforced, which
in reality means their disregard to a
greater or less extent, they would rot
have proved unpopular. But why
should the enforcement of any law be
unpopular? Most laws are passed in
response to a strong demand. If the
demand warranted their passage, then
it should justify their enforcement.
Yet the strict enforcement of many
laws is unpopular and the public sem
timent is rather against it.
When such is the case it shows ill
considered legislation; and if its his
tory is traced it will generally be found
that there was a political motive for
it, some cry that was to be yielded to
apparently but not in reality. This is
often the reason why laws become I'M
popular when enforced. To allow them
to remain upon the statute book as
dead letters is to invite and encourage
contempt of law. They are also liable
to become pitfalls for the unwary
Commissioner Roosevelt is giving
New York one of the most valuable
lessons in politics and respect for law
it has ever had. He is teaching the
people respect for the will of the people
as set forth in the laws that their cho-
sen representatives enact. They have
had too few such lessons

REPUBLICAN BooDL1NG.

We have made several references to
the actions of Republican legislatures
in the different states which have
come under the censure of Republican
newspapers and have been denounced
in vigorous language by journals rep
resenting the views of both political
parties. Special reference has been
made to the Illinois legislature now in
special session. Chicago papers, which
with but one exception are either Re
publican or Independent. have in I'M
measured terms castigated that body
without mercy. charging it with
"boOdling and corruption" Specifica-
tons of these charges has been made
and the individuals engaged in the
nefarious operations have been desig-
mated
SO direct and open and unmistakable
were these accusations that resolu-
ton was presented in that body Cor
an investigating committee to be ap-
pointed. But it appears that the hood
lers, If such they be, did not want
any inquiry into their proceedings, 50
when the resolution came to vote
the House of Representatives only fur
nished thirty-eight members who were
willing to adopt the resolution, while
fifty-nine voted against it's adoption.
From what the Chicago papers say,
the charges have been corroborated by
persons high in authority and these
constituted the preamble Of the reso-
luton. There was no attempt at de-
NAL of those charges. But the House
refused to suspend the rules and
adopt the resolution. This is pretty
clear indication that the alleged cor
ruptionists fear to have their acts in
vestigated. It is possible. however,
that the matter will be brought up
again The end of this inquiry has
not been reached. The country is anx-
ious to know the extent of the bribery
and boodling which has disgraced the
special session of the Republican leg
isIature of Illinois.

SILVER AND THE POOR.

Some of the goldite papers of this
country have been endeavoring to mis-
apply the words of Amos, the Hebrew
prophet, as they appear in the Bible as
follows:
Hear ye. % We that swallow up the
needy, even to make the poor of the
land to fail; saying when will the new
moon be gone that we may sell corn.
and the Sabbath that we may set for
the wheat, making the ephah small
and the shekel great, that we may buy
the poor for silver and the needy for
a pair of Shoes
For this sort of finance adopted By
the rich men of the Israelitish nation.
the following woes were predicted:
81 will turn your feasts into mourn
ing, and all your songs into lamenta-
tons; I will bring up sackcloth on all
loins and badness upon every head"
How this can be construed to apply
to the men who are working for the
free coinage of silver. is something we
fail to comprehend. Ii is said the rich
men in those olden times made cheap
silver shekels so as to deceive the I'M
wary by fictitious value" Well
what parallel is there in that to the
coinage of silver dollars, every one of
which would be equal as money with a
gold dollar to all intents and purposes.
If there is any similarity between
ancient and modern financial tactics,
is it not rather to be found in the de-
monetization of silver, the boarding
and appreciation of gold, and the ex-
ercise of power through the control by
a few money kings over the affairs of
the foremost nations? 1t is that by
which the poor have been oppressed,
and the money metal of the poor has
been debased in that the rich mans
metal has been unduly exalted.
The woes predicted by the Hebrew
Seer ought to come upon the modern
SPECTATORS on the needs of the ma
tons, and are not designed for the adj
vocates of silver. who labor for the re-
demption of the poor by the restora ton
of the metal which forms the poor

WOMEN AND THE NEXT ELECTION

a press dispatch from Washington
D. c.. which has been published in
the Salt Lake papers, appears in news
papers Of different parts throughout
the United States. It states. in effect
that the Democratic leaders in Utah
have taken the position under the
constitution of the state and enabIino
act that the women should be allowed
to vote at the election in November
and that the Republicans. on the
other hand. contend that the election
must be held under the provisions for
territorial elections and that thew
do not permit of the exercise of the
elective franchise by women.
This outlines the general feeling on
this subject by the respective parties
in this territory. Both of them de-
clared a year ago in favor of woman
suffrage. The Republicans in a half
hearted and ambiguous manner the
Democrats in clear and forcible and
unnlistakable language. In the con-

to secure to women all the political
rights and privileges which are he
slowed upon men under the law.
The Republicans on the other hand
opposed them in this particular with
the exception of a praiseworthy mi
nority.
The same spirit is now exhibited on
this question. 1t is evident that all
that the Republican party is doing to
push women to the front is for the
purpose Of coming up even" with
the Democratic party. Our morning
contemporary in urging the women to
organize into Republican leagues

AS ALL know, statehood means nee
essarily increased taxes under the
most economical administration Of the
new state government. There is but
one way Of getting these taxes and that
is by levying them upon the people
and collecting them. There is no doubt
that It viii be the policy of the Repub-
1ican party to grant bounties to any
and everything. A sugar bounty will
surely be asked for from the first state
legislature. Do the taxpayers think
they will be in condition to give
bounties and largesses to private in
dividuals after having borne the bur
dens of the new government?
