cision the court says: "By such contract"
with Carpentier) 1.-THE authorities of Oak
land attempted to convey public trust to
private and individual use and to place for
twenty-five years under the exclusive con-
troll of an individual and his assigns all,
even future, means of ferry communica-
ton across the navigable waters from Oak
land to any other place. Such was never
the intention of the Legislature. Such an
act 1t was not in the power of the authori-
ties OF Oakland to do, and such trans
action court of equity cannot sustain"
One other Casa criminal cause and the
first tried and summary disposed of by
Judge McAllister-deserves passing notice.
Within few days after the Judge had
opened his court grand jury was impan-
eled. The witnesses to appear and testify
before that inquisitorial body then were
sworn IN open court--a precedent which it
is not too rash to say might defeat the ends
OF justice in the year of 1895. The Grand
Jury Immediately found a true bill of in
dictment against one julius Levy, accused
OF trying to smuggle goods into San Fran
cisco. The accused was placed on trial,
found guilty and sentenced to pay fine of
$4,000 and be imprisoned one year at San
Quentin penitentiary. An execution was
levied on Levy's goods, the fine collected
and distributed among the Collector of the
Port. Surveyor and other customs officers.

THE FUTURE OF POPUL|SM
No Individual Ticket will Be
Placed in the Next
Campaign.
The Party Will Work Along Its Usual
Lines With Many Other
Reformers.

James Taylor Rogers found time yester-
day after reading the Declaration of indie
pendence to the vast audience in the Pa
vilion to talk of the future of the Populist
party and the part it will take in the next
National and State campaigns. He thinks
the party will not form distinctive or in
dividual feature of those campaigns or
rather that it will not place Populist
ticket in the field, but will join with other
reform movements in the formation of a
third party that will endeavor to accom-
plish the same principles of opposition to
the Republican, and Democratic parties,
the latter of which he declares is hope
lessly rent in twain. He said:
The Populists in the coming National cam
paign viii stand squarely on the Omaha plat
form of three years ago. That platform had
three legs-money, transportation and Tree
call them, that will form the platform for the
next as well as the last campaign. But we are
inclined TO pay greater attention to the ques-
ton of money in the next campaign. We all
recognize the necessity for an active and Wig
orous campaign on that particular plank.
That is subject that is too prominently be-
fore the people to be overlooked TO any degree.
While the Populists go further in the matter
of a circulating medium than even the silver
advocates do, yet they will not oppose them,
II the silver men, and others who have most
excellent reform IDEAS cannot see the way
clear in 1896 to indorse our platform in its en-
tirety, we will do nothing to hinder their work
but wait until they do.
In the State campaign our chief aim will be
the destruction of boss rule. ] think there will
be no Populist ticket put into the State cam
paign, but there will be third party. 1t will
be party that will embrace Populism as well
as some other reform movements.
There are several elements OF reform that
must find support in the next State election,
and we believe that can be best accomplished
by party that shall be non-partisan in charac-
ter, rather than by individualizing the Popu-
list party. Our object will be the same as in
the late City election, and we shall not re-
nounce any of our principles. while we accede
to or indorse the principles of other reformers.
But the PopuliSt party has not quit business
by any means. We will continue along the
same lines as in the past, but shall do our
work to the best possible advantage.

last night he was arrested as deserter
by Policeman Heller, OF the First precinct.
and locked IN cell No. of station No. 1.
Clark told story of disappointed ambl-
tioD. In happier days and in fairer for
tunes he had wooed the bea uteous daugh
ter OF blacksmith. He was machinist
by trade. but because OF the magnitude of
his unluoky star. his occupation was gone.
Under these conditions, the smiles OF his
Dulcenea turned to tiarksoue frowns. ard
she rejected him.
The brilliant and alluring posters of the
recruiting office captured his eye and the
apparent leisure of the men in blue
induced him to consider a proposition to
enlist. This he did. The life was not
agreeable TO him. Reveille sounded too
early in the morning. aud taps rang out
with persistent regularity. There was
no romance in Ii.
Though he had been a macliinist, yet the
life was too machipe-like TO please him.
One evening, when he WAS Off he fell to a
contemplation of the charms of the life of
citizen and determined to be one. He
changed his blue uniform with its gay
red and gold trimmings for a civilian cut
away. and went South. He first tried
Richmond, but could find no work; then
he kept up his Southwark march till he
reached Atlanta. He efound discoura cement
there, and few days ago made his way
back to Washington.
He put up at the Central Union Mission.

In possession OF u description of the man
