MIA State Library. For it is precisely
such form as that that these sensational
matters always take at the East. 1t will
be bad enough and time enough to blazon
1t abroad when it shall be shown under
official investigation that there has been
robbery in the library.
But what are the facts forming the basis
of the alleged sensation? Simply these
that the Library Trustees, elected by the
Legislature, under it's control and SUBJ
Ject directly to it, report their entire in
come for the past two years to have been
$4S,o05 OIL, with their total expenditures
OF S41,9G5 AZ, the balance being on hand.
and that they have purchased nearly 1000
books. That is all there is in the matter
SO far as the official reports go or any
sensatIon-monger knows.
OF course no one expected the trustees
10 PRINT with their report catalogue of
nearly 1000 volumes, with the prices ap-
pended, and from what source procured.
Such report, even if the law required it,
wonld be intolerably wearisome; it
would cover, we estimate, one hundred
and fifty closely-printed pages.
Had such an exhibit been attached to
the library report the Board of Exam
iners would probably have refused to
send it to print. 1t would, besides, have
conserved no earthly good, so long as the
records of the library show, as they must,
the complete history of each purchase of
books. If they do not, if anyone charges
that they are barren in that respect, then
there will be need for investigation. But
until somebody affirms that there is no
such showing and record, and until the
law directs such exhibits to be made in
Official reports, there is no more excuse
for the attempt to squeeze out of the mat
ter an early scandal than there is for an
investigation by the Legislature of the
canals of Mars.
We protest that something ought to be
presumed in favor Of the honesty of such
men as VIII s. Green, DIR. NJ. Gardner,
Ed E. Leake, T. T. Baldwin and C. II.
Lindley, who constitute the Board of
Trustees. We submit that, in common
decency, the method of the assault against
their administration is shamefully unfair
and wholly discreditable to Califor-
MIA. If there is anything rotten in the
library in heavens name show it up, but
let it be done with some seeming of fair
play, and begin on a groundwork not
quite so silly as that assumed by the
sensational press.

THE SALOON ORDINANCE.
IL was Not In Proper Shape as Pass
kY Ihn EI.uataas

1t Was Not in Proper Shape as Passed
by the Trustees.
Mayor Steinman has addressed the fol-
lowing communication to the City Trus-
tees, calling their attention to omis-
sions in the ordinance passed last Mon
day regulating the closing OF saloons:
SACRAMENTO, January 8. 1895.
TO the Board Of Trustees: 1 herewith
return to your honorable body, without
action thereon, what purports to be Or
dinance No. =, entitled ''An ordinance
amending Section 10 of Ordinance No. 276
OF the City OF Sacramento" and which is
intended to amend the ordinance relating
to saloons. so that they can remain open
after IL O'Clock midnight by obtaining
permission of your board and paying a
special license.
My reasons for returning the paper
without action are as follows:
Ihat IL Is not an ordinance, and even if
approved by me, it would not De legal
ordinance OF this city, because there is no
enacting clause. Section u of the char
ter provides that the enacting clause of
All ordinances shall be in these words:
Inc Board OF Trustees of the City OF
sacramento ordain as follows" The pro-
posed ordinance would therefore be in
operative, as 1t is necessary that every or
olnance should contain an enacting
clause.
Furthermore, the proposed ordinance
provides that it shall be lawful for any
person to keep open between the hours of
u CLOCK (midnight) and - o'clock in
the morning." etc. This blank should
De hiled before the ordinance becomes a
law, Tor Wlthoutany time being expressed
it would be imperative
The document is therefore returned to
you, SO that 1t may be put in proper legal
form. Respectfully submitted,

THE TRAMP EVIL
How it Has Been Practically Settled
i'll Germany.

How 1t has Been Practically Settled
i'll Germany.
In Germany the Government has taken
the tramp question in hand, and has, to
great extent, solved it. Tramps found
outside OF certain districts are arrested as
suspicious characters and set to work.
Along the roads within the district where
! tramps are tolerated, the Government has
established stations which serve the
double purpose Of an employment bureau
and hostelry for waytarers. Upon the
arrival or tramp at such q station he
must produce clearance papers from the
last station at which he stopped. These
being satisfactory, if there be no demand
Tor labor such as he is capable of perform
ing, among the neighboring farmers or
citlZens, he is compelled to work Oh the
public roads Ill return for his lodging and
meals. In this way the roads of Ger
many have been maintained in superb
condition, and at a minimum Of expense
The tramp, too, has been made to under
stand that poverty does not carry with it
license to tax his more fortunate or
more thrifty brethren. When the tramp
is prepared to leave one of the stations
he is furnished with clearance papers
showing the date of his departure; and
as these establishments are but a days
journey apart, if more than one day
elapse before he presents himself at the
next station, he IS subjected to a rigid
examination as to his wherea bouts.
1t is said this system, besides securing
good roads, has raised the standard of the
tramp; has taught him that to live he
must work. Or course such system
could hardly be enforced in this state,
but at least some regulation or some labor
should be provided for hungry, homeless
men, where they might earn what they
now beg; certainly there is no better
field for such operation than our public
highways. How would it do for the
Legislature to outline plan somewhat
on the German idea. and authorize
County Boards of Supervisors TO adopt
it, limiting the compensation, as in Ger
many, to mere food and shelter?
The lines of overland railroad are the
great highways OF the American lamp
ON brakebeams of freight and passenger
cars they move about from place to place
with comparative ease aud rapidity.
Some years ago bill was introduced in
our State Legislature, providing a pun
lshment for lndulging IN this practice,
but for some silly, sentimental reason it
failed 10 become law. great deal of
fine sentiment has been wasted upon the
tramp. Generally they are a lazy, idle,
vicious set of creatures. who prefer to
prey upon the rest Of mankind rather
than earn an honest livelihood. If the
| housewife who has been touched by their
appeals for a bite to eat" and who
prldes herself on permitting none to 60
hungry from her door, will but provide a
generous WoOdpile and bucksaw for the
| hungry beggar, she will not be bothered
| by their appeals. Someone has said that
men are prone to believe anything that
will furnish an excuse Tor denying char
ity, but there Is no doubt that it is seri-
Gus wrong to feed these shiftless fellows
without exacting in return some work of
some kind.-San francisco Wave.

TURNING THE SCANDAL MILL.

Scarcely does the Legislature assem- BILE

labor in that behalf and maintain the cred

1t concerns the State Library this time,
and the charge is raked together by the
scurrility mill that $40, 900 has been ex-
pended for books for the library. "Now,
if those books are there, all right: if not.
then we want to know where they are.u

ders, such sensation to be sure! Yet
thousands of people will, by this metho d
of presenting the matter, accept the sus-

that there has been rare stealing going
on.
1t may be 80. 1t is possible that in
every State institution dishonesty has
been practiced; that not ali the coin in
the State Treasury is there; that some of
the furniture of State institutions has
been carted away, and that the various
State officials have stripped their Offices of
