Seems to us there is a hugh fuss being made
over the canning of horse meat up on the Sound
country. Ii nice, fat, healthy horse meat is
canned and people who buy it know it for
horse meat when they buy it, there is nothing
| more to be said. It's nobodys business. If
horse meat canned is sold for spring chicken
| there is ground for kicking. Otherwise, other
wise.-Redlands Cftrograph.
If the fellows who now and then go out OF
their way to criticize the public schools would

same public schools about 50 per cent of our
population would be cropping in ignorance,

our public institutions OF learning-Escondido

The best way for Judges to win and retain

tage of the udiciary.-Stockton Independent.
The experience of the people under the pres

California wants more judgment used in the

Wright irrigation law has been found to

ably not the best scheme that might be

Governments proposition to make US a

we will reclaim it. There has long been
a complaint, generally unfounded, that
fruit lands are held too high in California.
The opening of new areas to settlement
would solve that problem, and would be
especially valuable in determining the

the State, after retaining the lands,
would sell them at auction thus giving all
buyers an equal opportunity.

THE BANDIT THRIVEs.

1t strikes one as somewhat amusing that
Brady, who is being hunted for his life in
the mountains north of Redding, should
be invited to continue his occupation of
highwayman by finding an abundance of
unguarded stages traversing the public
roads. He could hardly be expected to
seek means for earning an honest liveli-
hood under the circumstances, and hence
he must pursue his vocation in order to
subsist. AS his capture would in all likeli-
hood mean his condemnation to the gal
lows he cannot possibly make his situation
worse by resorting to any desperate crime
that imagination, necessity or opportunity
might suggest.
1t happens that he understands the art
OF highwavman best, but that does not
make 1t unreasonable to imagine him capa-
BILE OF killing men and women wherever he
may find them, if thereby he could better
his condition in any way. What he needs
now particularly is money, which is the
most efficient of all conceivable weapons of
defense. 1t is not supposable that he
would hesitate to secure it by any means,
possibly including slow torture by apply
ing fire to the soles of the feet. And yet in
view of all the evident facts stages are still
sent out without guard, and the drivers
never hesitate to obey the command to
throw down the mail-pouches and express
box. 1t may be physical impossibility
to overhaul Brady, but it is not to take
reasonable precautions against his depre-
dations. 1t seems incredible that the
United States Government observes the
rif1ing of its mails with such bland COM
posure, and that it should encourage the
bandit to proceed on his course by cheer
fully offering him mail-pouches to rob.

The facts are few and simple. Behrend
Joost applied some time ago for a fran
chise for street railway over Ocean
avenue and other streets out to the Ingle-
side. The Solid Eight of the board per-
sistentIy refused and neglected to act upon
his application for this franchise. He APP
piled and petitioned and GRATED and urged
over and over again, but in vain. Finally
and during the past week the Market-street
Railway Company appeared on the scene
with similar application. At once the
Solid Eight act upon this last petition
and rush through resolution which has
for its purpose the awarding of this fran
chlse to the Market-street Railway Com
pany at figure far below what it is worth
and without giving either to Behrend
Joost or any one else but the corporation
the right to compete for it, as the laws of
the State require.
The San Francisco call. [volume] (San Francisco [Calif.]) 1895-1913, 1895-07-10

The law of the case is as clear and posi-
tive as its facts are plain. The statutes of
1898 provided for the sale of street rail-
way franchises after due advertisement
and to the highest bidder. 1t was there
prescribed that whenever an application
was presented to the governing board of
city for franchise or privilege to con-
struct and operate q railroad along or
upon any public street or highway, the
board must advertise the fact of the appli-
cation and of its intention to dispose of
the franchise for a stated period. At the
time fixed the board must sell the fran
ehise to the highest bidder. The first
section of the act of 1898 makes this
procedure on the part of the board
mandatory. The second section of the act
prescribes the penalties for attempted vio-
lation by any member of the board of
the terms Of the first section. His attempt
is declared to be misdemeanor for which
he may be punished by fine and imprison-
ment, and also to be malfeasance in Office

The Penal Code provides the exact method
to accomplish the removal from his office
of the guilty official. Any citizen may lay
an accusation before the Superior Court
and thereupon the offender is cited to ap-
pear and answer the charge. If the accu-
sation be sustained the decree of the court
removes the Supervisor from the seat he
has defled and disgraced.

A MUNICIPAL CRISIS.

A crisis has been reached in the affairs
Of the City of San Francisco. A bold and
brazen attempt has been made by eight of
its Supervisors to set the laws of the State
at defiance; to hold as naught but idle
words their solemn oaths of office; to dis
regard the interests and welfare of the
City with whose public affairs they have
been intrusted; to bow and bend at the
nod and beck of great and rich corpora
ton, and at its instance and for its selfish
ends to violate the law and to bring them
selves within grasping distance of the
penal statutes of the State. The "Solid
Eight" of the Board of Supervisors have
done all this within the past week in the
matter of the grant of the Ocean avenue
street railway franchise. The time has
arrived for the citizens of San Francisco to
consider and to act.
The San Francisco call. [volume] (San Francisco [Calif.]) 1895-1913, 1895-07-10

The danger hich underlies this latest
outrage upon the rights OF the City and
the laws OF the State should be apparent to
every citizen. The lines of the Market
street Railway Company are already so e1-
tensive that there is hardly street in the
City which is not crossed or connected
with them at some point. 1t follows that
no person outside of that corporation can
secure or even be q bidder for street.
railway franchise SO long as the Solid
Eight are allowed to be in place and power.
Neither can the City hope to receive
for its valuable franchises a tenth of
their value under such regime. All
that the Market-street Railway has to do
is to file its counter-application and ask
for the franchise ''as an extension and adj
iunct to its lines already laid" and the
first applicant is straightway side-tracked.
the advertisement and sale of such a fran
chise become solemn farce, and the
valuable privilege is sold to the monopoly
for song.
