GOV. CULBERsoN SUSTAINED.
The Texas Legislature Prevents the
Proposed Prize Fight.


Proposed Prize Fight.
There will be no prize fight at Dallas Oc-
tober 81 between Corbett and Fitzsimmons.
This fact was settled yesterday afternoon
by the Texas legislature in exactly three
hours Ivy the watch. The two committees
one in the senate and the other in the
house-gave an audience to the Dallas at
torneys all the morning to ascertain their
objections and protests to the passage of
the law.
After hearing the gentlemen until noon
the two committees adjourned. When the
two houses met at o'clock both commit
tees were ready to report, and the senate
bill was very promptly considered. From
the time the bill was placed before the SEN
ate until it finally passed it was exactly
fifty-five minutes.
During this time Senator Dean opposed
the bill, and Senator Lasker spoke in its
favor. These were the only two gentlemen
ing themselves by voting. The vote on the
final passage of the bill was % yeas and 1
ray, Dean being the negative voter.
The bill was Immediately sent over to the
house, and at o'clock .ha. body began
discussing it, substituting the senate bill
for the house bill. After several gentle
men had spoken of the bill and the emer-
gency feature pro and con, a final vote was
reached at o'clock precisely, and the bill
passed the house by a vote Of ITO to 3.
Thus, within three hours, did the Texas
legislature forever put an end to prize
fighting in Texas.
May Take Place In Mexico.
Said Dan Stuart to an Associated Press
reporter last night:
1.-The contest will not come Off in Texas.
We have proceeded SO far under the law.
We did not touch a stick Of timber till the
highest judicial tribunal of Texas in crimi-
nal matters decided there was no law
against glove contests on the statute books.
The legislature was called in to remedy the
defective law, and that is an end of it,
The representatives of the Florida Ath-
letic Club have completed arrangements
with the owners of a bull pen across the
river in New Laredo, Mex, for an option
of eight days duration, the object being to
secure a place for the Corbett-Fitzsmmons
fight Ali that now remains is the approval
of the governor Of that state, Tamaalipas,
who is now being communicated with.

chapters of this object lesson and applied
to the conditions and projects of the pres
ent time? This is the moral and the logic
of it which we submit to candid minds.
If almost twenty years ago a competing
railroad could be constructed into and
across the heart of the Santa Clara Valley
at cost of about $4,000 per mile, and
could there be operated for ten continuous
years with such success as to earn
81, 900, 900 for its projectors from its traffic
in the teeth of constant competition, and
could further, during the same period, in
crease its value to more than double its
cost, and is to-day paying interest on
IS, 500, 900 at per cent, which is more than
10 per cent per annum on the original cost
of the road, does not the prospect OF a
competing railroad into the same section,
which has in the mean time more than
doubled in population and more than
quadrupled in wealth and in annual
production, hold out as sure and
as practical a promise of success
to its investors as did the South Pacific
Coast Railroad to its projectors nearly
twenty years ago? And further, does not
the same logic apply to the San Joaquin,
and is not like promise and prophecy
shouted out from all the great valleys of
California which are clamoring for COM
peting railroads.

A TIMELY HINT.

One of the most important suggestions
that has been made at the Manufacturers
Convention was that by George W. Dickie.
After showing the prominence of San Fran
cisco's maritime interests and her great
achievements in ship-building, Mr.. Dickie
vigorously assaulted our policy of taxing our
ships so heavily and pointed out the fact
that these vessels have to come in compe-
titiop with those which have no such bur-
dens to bear. Here is the most startling
part of his arraignment:
I made some figures the other day for a San
Francisco house of the cost of a special steamer
for service on this coast The cost was, say
$4,000. 1 was then asked to give the monthly
cost of running this vessel in this State. In
this case the State, city and county taxes just
equaled the captains pay, and it further
showed that if our clients should have their New
York agent get ship built there, register her
in the New York Custom house, the annual
expenses saved in taxes would enable the
owner to give the preference to an Eastern
builder OF $40, 900. This is the legislative en-
couragement we get for home industry.
Mr.. Dickie deserves all credit for calling
the attention of so intelligent and public
spirited a body ST men to this important
subject. Instead of doing all in our power
to encourage so valuable an industry, we
have been doing everything possible to
hamper it. The geographi cal position of
San Francisco with regard to ocean COM
merce clearly indicates the tremendous i'm
portance which a reasonable encou rage
ment of this element of our commercial
prosperity might be made to assume, and
in addition to that we have an ideal har-
Dor and an unlimited natural supply of
much of the most important material en-
tering into the construction OF vessels
with regard to material which we have to
bring hither from a distance we have
thoroughly efficient plants with which to
bring it to the perfected form for use. The
great ship-building plants which we have
give employment to thousands of opera
tives and have long ago demonstrated their
ability to compete with the leading ship
yards of the world in the production of
frst-class vessels of all kinds These are
supplemented by numerous small plants,
which line the bay at intervals from Ala
media to Benicia and which are needed
to turn out the smaller craft, which it
would hardly be practicable to have built
on the Atlantic Coast and brought hither
round the Horn.
The amount of capital invested and
the number of men employed are already
surprisingly large and these give further
employment to many others remotely con-
nected with the industry. That this in
dustry, vital in SO many ways, should be
fostered is a self-evident fact.

MUSIC AND MUSICIANS.

Mrs. Rogers, who sang the part of the old
nurse in Mascagni's "Ratcliff" on its first per-
formance, is an American Madame Vital, the
French singer who had studied the role,
spralned her shoulder only few hours before
the performance, and in order that the opera
might proceed, Mrs. Rogers learned more than
half OF the long and difficult part, and ap-
peared before the most critical audience in
the world, at less than days notice. She
must certainly be possessed of more than even
the usual amount of American pluck.

CALIFORNIA FIRST.

The addresses delivered and papers read
at the Manufacturers Convention are
worthy of something more than the casual
reading generally given to newspaper
reports. They not only embody facts and
statistics peculiarly interesting at this
time by reason of the light they throw
upon the existing condition of our in
dustries, but many of them also give ex-
preston to those fundamental truths of
trade and industry that are important at
all times and should be thoroughly under
stood by every community. These truths
are essentially the same as those which
underlie the great National policy of pro-
lection and reciprocity. To make the
Nation great we protect the Nations in
dustries, and to promote prosperity at
home we should promote home industries
Business and patriotism unite at this
point. 1t is America against the world in
industry as in war. We must stand for
our sister States in opposition to foreign
nations; and among the sisterhood, for US
at any rate, California must be first
1t is to the interest of all Californians to
promote the industries of California. We
should make a market for local goods and
manufacture the goods to supply the mar
ket. No citizen should buy any foreign ar
ticle that completes with American prod
ucts, nor any Eastern article that completes
with California products. This is not
merely philosophy to be preached but a
code to be practiced. For thirteen years
the proprietor of the CALL has been a pur-
chaser of news paper, and during all that
time has never given contract to an East
ern paper mill, nor ever used Eastern made
paper save at one brief interval, when the
Pacific Coast mills were unable to supply
the demand. To help home industry there
fore is not only our principle, but our ha-
bitual practice. 1t should be the same
everywhere. 1t is shame to import paper
across the continent when our own mills
could supply as good paper at as cheap a
price if only they found a sufficient pat
ronage to be run at their full capacity.
California first. That should be the
motto of every household in the State.
II ome prosperity and home industry can
never be separated. The American people
have in the last two years learned by Bit
ter experience the value of protection. Free
traders are very few in these days and
the protectionists are more numerous than
ever. 1t is beginning to be understood
that we should carry protection to its logi-
cal conclusion and build tariff wall
around the Union that would shut out
foreign goods altogether, provision being
made by reciprocity treaties for trade with
countries that produce articles We cannot
produce at home. With such tariff, the
industry of the Nation would be prosper
Gus and the wages OF workingmen secure.
The next step then would be for each To-
cality to foster its own industry and make
market for its own goods. That is the
true industrial system. 1t is the one that
we should follow. Protection for all the
States, and patronage for California first.

THE PHILBRoOK BILL.

An act has succeeded in passing both
branches of the Legislature and is now in
the hands of the Governor which provides
that mo person shall be deprived of the
right to practice as attorney or counselor
in any court of this State because of words
spoken or written by him in the argument
of any cause pending in any court, unless
for such words he shall have been tried by
jury and convicted of criminal libel pur-
suant to the provisions of the Penal Code
of the State of California" 1t is known as
the "Philbrook'' bill, because that is the
name of its reputed author, and also be-
cause it provides for his restoration to the
list of licensed attorneys, despite his recent
disbarment by the Supreme Court.
Without any reference whatever to the
authorship of the bill or to the clause
which would remove it's authors disabili-
ties. it is evidently blunder of legislation
in its present form. The glaring and gap.
ing defect in the measure is this: That il
forbids the disbarment of an attorney fol
any words whatever spoken in court II
will be noticed that it is only after a trial
and conviction of criminal libel that an
attorney, by the provisions of this bill, can
be dlsbarred. But there is no such thing
as trial or a conviction for spoken q0ords
for the reason that such words are not
libel at all, but are merely SANDER, and
SANDER, however atrocious, has not been
made crime. 1t will be seen at once
that this defect is all-sufficient to work
the undoing of the Philbrook bill.
There is, however, kernel of reason and
justice within this measure which should
i H. E..
legislation. The power of Judges to visit the
penalty and dishonor of disbarment upon
attorneys or any punishment of like Sc
verify upon laymen for contempt of court
should be limited to cases where jury has
pronounced the alleged offense to be a
crime. No Judge should be permitted by
law to occupy the place simultaneously OF
complainant, court and executioner
There is only one exception to this rule OF
justice, and for that the law already pro-
vides. The exception is where the order
and proceedings of court are being inter
fered with or its dignity is being violated
by an express contempt. Under such cir
cumstances a court should be enabled to
compel order and to maintain its dignity
by immediate action, imposing moderate
fine or even brief imprisonment upon the
offender. 1t is necessary for courts to
possess this limited power for self-defense.
But when Judges claim the right to go
beyond this limit and to arraign citizens
by summary processes and punish them
with severe penalties for offenses against
themselves, the right of trial before an
American jury should be guaranteed to the
alleged offender.
This is justice. This is consistent with
our principles and canons of liberty. This
should be law. The right of trial by jury
should apply to contempt proceedings as
it already applies to every other cause
involving the liberty of citizen.
