would be worthy of no consideration what
ever if it were not for the fact that it has
been so often urged by the mossbacks and
silurians in the cities of California. 1t is
difficult to discuss their view of the case
with any patience. Their obstruction has
served as stone wall across the road of
progress in various cities of the State be-
sides San Francisco, and the influence
which it has exerted by one means or
another has often prevented a popular
vote in favor of creating debt. There is
no doubt that majority of the people of
San Francisco would favor the creation of
such debt.
F With regard to the possibilities for Off
cial stealing which the debt would create,
it may. be said that times have greatly
changed since the days of Tweed and
Shepard, and also since the very recent
days of Buckley. He would be hardy
public officer who would: dare now to
attempt what formerly was done with i'm
punity. Such rascaliiy has been either SO
well punished, or the unpublished rascals
and their methods have become sowell
known and so easily guarded against, that
the danger from this source is compare
lively small For that matter citizens who
are afraid to create debt for fear that the
men whom they have deliberately elected
to office will steel it can easily remove
that difficulty by. seeting honest men,.

BONDING. THE. CITY.

In another part.of this issue the. CALL-re.
publishes a communication to the. Post
from Henry P. Sonntag,. which: is worthy
of serious attention. In advocating the
issuance of bonds to the amount Of So, 00o,-
600 for the purpose. of improving the City,
Mr.: Sonntag makes the following points:
AS there are held in this City. Government
4 per cent bonds to the amount Of $10,-
100000 or over, there is no reason for
assuming that. S., 000, 900: of City: bonds
should not be taken by local capitalists,
thus keeping the interest at home, las We
have $500, 0o0, 600 of taxable property ON
which there an insignificant public debt.
In twenty years from now, Mr.: Sonntag
adds, the value of the City's property viii
have doubled, and hence the: burden: of
interest will be reduced one-half and the
debt can be. easily extinguished. - &.
The writer further declares that all large
and enterprising cities have q heavy In
debtedness, incurred for: the. making of
Improvements which have been material
aids to their greatness. AS for London,
she never expects to get out:of debt and
cares nothing about it. Her own people
hold her bonds and are satisfied with the
debt. In the cases of New York and
Washington the debt was incurred in order
that Tweed and Shepard might plumber
the city; still Tweed and Shepard made
New York and Washington the. great cities
that they are.
Mr.. Sonntag suggests. that the. whole
debt Of 5000, 900 need not be created at
once, but thatit might be distributed over
number of years = say five, allotting
81, 900 TO each year.. j:
@These remarks are very suggestive, and
touch upon the two vital points in the
matter-the creation of debt for pos
terity to pay and the making of an oppor-
tunity for official thieyery.. The first point

AROUND THE CORRIDORS.

Major Frank Mclaughlin of Oroville is down
here again, and is at the Palace.

to the crowd of friends who gathered around
him as he crossed to the grillroom from the
office, ::

were in the midst of operations on the Golden

how far he went, but up to the presenttime we

that he would join his friend, but he still lives.

this it is the custom to place. it in what is

ing great corporations and having full
knowledge of the value of law?
The use of the pistol has, indeed, become
a curse upon the people. 1t has given
courage to the bully, the criminal and the
coward, and rendered life unsafe for the
peaceable, the brave and the innocent. Out
rage after outrage of assault and murder
has occurred in this City and the law
seems powerless to, prevent them. Have
we then no law at all?. Are: we to
return to the customs of medieval bar
barism where the citizen protected himself
as best he could and the rich hired braves
and swashbucklers to terrify their neigh
bors? Is the pistol to dominate every
thing? Can. rich corporations hire men
to go about with arms interfering when
ever they see tit and compelling workmen
to stop with pistol at their heads? g..

When men of fair intelligence and of
high position in the city act in this way,
what wonder is it that the hood1um and
the scoundrel believe themselves Justified
in the use OF the pistol2 What wonder is
it that crimes abound and murders are
frequent? What difference in morals is
there between the ruffian who robs the

Lynch, they must be stopped. The law Of

the projected Cliff House road with having

With the Cling Murder
Case.

"There is no probability that Harry Hay.
ward will be granted a new trial, said
Prosecuting Attorney Frank NJ. Nye of
Minneapolis at the Grand last night. Mr..
Nye. who is a brother of the famous hui
morist of that name and resembles him
somewhat in his droll manner of CONVEX.
sation, is here with his wife for rest and
pleasure. He became widely known to the
public through his connection with the.
Cling murder case, and his success in, secur-
ing conviction of the murderer has. added
to his reputation as a prosecutor. In
speaking of this famous case Mr.. N ye said ::
bill of exception is being prepared by the
defense and will be presented at the spring
term of the Supreme Court. Should 1t not be
taken up at that time it Will go over to October
and will have no bearing on the case, as Hay
ward must hang within three months from the
time of sentence.

has absolutely no idea OF moral obligation and

assist him in disposing OF Miss Cling, and so
persistent was he in his efforts that the younger
brother told Elder Stewart, an old and honored
resident of Minneapolis of Harry's intention.
Mr. Stewart could not think such thing pos
sible and told Adry to have no fears. Not long
afterward the crime was committed; and Mr.
Stewart wrote us of Adry's interview with him,
That was our first cleW, and the arrest OF Adry,
Harry and Blixt followed The world knows
therest.
In view of Blixt's confession on the witness
stand there is nothing left for Hayward to do
but to confess his guilt.
