San Francisco, April 27-Theodore
Durrant was taken from his cell in the
city prison today and formally charged
with the murder of Blanch Lamont.
He has been very surley for the past
two days and made no effort TO conceal
his irritation this morning. How
much more are you going to charge me
WITH" he growled to Detective Sey-
mour, who swore to the complaint. The
prison officials are confident that Dur
rants visitors bring him drugs which
enable him to sleep twelve hours day.
To the use of these drugs his increasing
irritability is ascribed. He is fast be-
coming what is known as an unredsOn-
able and troublesome prisoner. Chief
Crowley has ordered that no notice
shall be taken of anything the prisoner
says, minor prison officials having com
planned of Durrant's rudeneSs. Durrant
is treated with the greatest conSidera-
ton. He occupies the most comfort
able cell in the prison, has access to an
adjoining bath room. is permitted to re-
ceive visitors at all hours and is not
thrown in contact with the other pris-
0nerS.
The preliminary examination at the
trial in the Williams case will likely be
concluded on Tuesday. Friends of
Durrant still effect to believe in his in
nocence, even promising to solve the
mystery of the murder, limiting that
the murders were the work OF a middle
aged married man, resident of the Mis-
sion. who has since disappeared.
The plan of District Attorney Barnes
to try Durrant for the Lamont murder
first, is generally commended. Consider
ed alone, the Williams case is deemed
weak for the prosecution, and with
another case to be tried a jury verdict
of guilty would be doubtful. The pro-
secution fears the moral effect of an ac-
quittal case. The evidence in the La
mont crime is considered much more
conclusive. 1t is probable that the
grand jury will be asked to indict Dur
rant for the Lamont murder. This
would render unnecessary a prelimi-
nary police court investigation.

sci had a load Of salt from Marine City

men. IT is thought that they are all
safe except one man, who is not yet
accounted for. These have been very
heavy winds on Lake Erie for two days
and the Sadie Shepard had a very
rough passage across the head of the
lake. While about half way between

1t Is Disgusting.

1t is disgusting to hear men who
seem possessed of ordinary sense and
judgment make the assertion-so often
heard-"Men can get work who want
to work." or mo man need to be idle"
Men who make such assertions are
either wofully ignorant or find it nee
essary to advance such argument as
an excuse for candidates forced upon
an excuse for conditions forced upon
the country by their party. Suppose
a man starts out to find employment,
how many farmers could he find who
could give him employment-except
during harvest, or at most for a few
days or weeks? Take the country
over, and we venture the assertion that
nineteen out of every twenty would
not be able to employ a hand the year
around, while eight-tenths could not
employ help six months of the year
many not three months, and one-half
of all of them could not employ any
wage help at all. Then strike the
trades and manufacturing industries.
and the idle man would fare no better.
And yet we hear the silly twaddle,
Men can get work If they want it"
Young men who would, under proper
conditions, be working for themselves
on farms Of their own are staying at
| home helping father and mother make
living, and in many cases the COM
bined efforts of the parents, several
grown SONS and daughters are neces-
sary for the existence OF the whole
| family. This ought not to be so, and
would net If there was an equitable
distribution of the fruits of toll, il
fCyery man and woman who are willing
] to labor were receiving just recon-
pense of reward for their toll. There
are causes for these anomalous condi-
tions, and it is the duty Of every man
and woman to study them and properly
apply the remedy. We have been legis-
lated into this condition, and the RENE

titled that he had been INVESTIGATING the
charge that corruption fund had been
raised in the department and that he
had satisfied himself of the truth of the
story. He said his suspicious had also
been confirmed by Battalion Chief Gro
ker and Chief McCabe. who committed
suicide last week. President LAGRANGE
said he was satisfied that McCabe COM
mitted suicide to avoid becoming an in
former before the investigating commit

memoranda of things McCabe had con-
fessed to him. McCabe told him that
three years ago fund of $500 was rails
ed at SO from each fireman and given to
Assemblyman McManus to influence leg
islation. In Jan. 1893, the officers of
the department put up $25 apiece and
gave it into the hands of Senator All
earn to have their salaries increased
by the legislature. In 1894. the firemen
raised corruption fund off $500. and
this year. according to a statement by
McCabe to LaGrange before he commits

NOTES AND COMMENTS.

The old party papers are not saying
much about many Populist victories in
cities and townships at the late spring
elections. The returns, however, are
coming in by slow freight. Pueblo,
Colo, city of $4,000 population, elect
ed Populist mayor, while Leadville,
with 1000 population, elected Pop
ulist city ticket. Moline, ILL.,, with a
population of $4,000 elected a Populist
mayor by 400 majority. In Illinois the
Populists elected a large number of
county supervisors throughout the
state. Many small towns throughout
the country were carried wholly or in
part by the Peoples party. These are
straws.
The late municipal and township
elections throughout the country have
demonstrated in many places a sur
prising strength to the cause of Pop
ulism-the Peoples party carrying
many towns and cities, where the Pop
ulist vote was light before. This is
most encouraging to the old parties.
The average earnings of labor in 1892
was $3.50; in 1894, it dropped to $195, and
the prospects are that the average fol-
1895 will be still lower. On the other
hand, millionaire incomes are increas-
ing, and official salaries climbing. Are
you going to be foolish enough to vote
for continuance of system that
makes such conditions possible?
1t is said that nearly 1900 children
are unable to attend school in San
Francisco How can the so-called
humanitarians of to-day, who shut their
eyes to the environments of the poorer
classes, expect to build a noble man.
hood and womanhood where the great
majority of the children are denied
proper education?
1t is estimated by Superintendent
Byrnes and Elbridge T. Gerry that
there are 10000 prostitutes in the city
of New York. 1t is safe to say that a
large per cent of these unfortunates
are driven by poverty to a life OF
shame What a fearful responsibility
| is resting upon those who are forcing
present conditions upon this country.
Poverty, such as is forced upon one-hali
the American people to-day, can have
no other than demoralizing effect, the
worst features of which are to he real
