vicious classes; high license to
diminish the numbe of bar rooms
and cause better liquors &c

IN the trial of violators of law in the
inferior courts the main object to be at
tanned seems to be to secure conviction
and as much money as possible in fine
and costs, especially costs. Are courts
instituted for the purpose of administer
ing justice, protecting the public and
Furnishing evil doors or for the purpose
of obtaining revenue, both public and
Individual? If for the latter purpose, as
seems to be the case, it is time that we
had some of the other kind. Under the
system in vogue in this city a man can
commit almost any misdemeanor and
when arrested if he pays for it, that is
puts up Appearance money, 'he is turned
loose and is at liberty to go right on and
do the same thing again. A man is ar
rested for being drunk. He pays in So
at the city Jail He is turned loose. He
is just as drunk as he was before. He
doesn't come back next morning. The
city keeps the money, Who has been
benefited, except in a pecuniary way?
The drunkard probably needs the money
more than the city does.

Japan Concludes She Will Not Buy Her
War Ships Here.
SAN FRANCISCO, Oct 4-Irving NJ.
Scott, the president of the Union Iron
works is coming home on the China
which ia due here next week. but he is
not bringing any contracts to build battle
ships for the Japanese government, On
board the China is also Gen. Williams,
one of the the agents OF the Cramps, VINO
was in Japan for the same purpose as
Mr.. Scott and whose mission met with
the same r,
These iemen are bringing the
news that the Japanese government has
not decided to let the contract for four
new battleships to American ship build
ers, two of which would be constructed
in this city as announced by VIM. E.
Curtis who arrived from the Orient last
trip of the Gaelic.
The Japanese government has not let
any contracts for additions to its navy to
American or other foreign ship builders
for the reason that until the imperial diet
meet in November the minister of marine
will not know just what money viii be
at his service. Even after appropria-
tions are made it is doubtful if any con :
tracts will be made with American ship
builders, at least not for some time the
reason being that the people of the
Mikado's empire have become suddenly
impressed with the idea that they can
construct their own battle ships and
cruisers. This decision of course shuts
out British and German ship builders as
we'll from a slice of the Japanese mara
time patronage.
The imperial diet meets in November
and the minister of marine will ask for a
liberal appropriation for the increase of
the war marine.
It is said the Japanese think American
armor plate the best in the world and
Mr.. Carnegie thinks he ought to get
very large slice of this pie.

SOME FRIENDS OF SILVER

The greatest injury done to the cause
of silver is by its lily informed friends.
In attempting to discuss the question
they make assertions not warranted by
the facts, and they are Immediately
taken advantage of by the gold standard
advocates who are ever on the alert for
something on which to hang an idea fav-
orable to their side.
Only recently a prominent free silver
Republican paper of this state published
a statement in its editorial columns to
the effect that all the silver in the United
States treasury is covered by outstand-
ing certificates, when as a matter of fact
a recent treasury report shows that there
is about $25,0O0,00O of silver in the
treasury which is not covered by certit1-
Gates. If as that paper asserted, the
silver in the treasury were covered by
outstanding certificates there would be
some little excuse for Mr.. Carlisle's re-
fusal to use it to meet expenses or to re-
deem greenbacks. But as it is there is
no excuse whatever and that $25, 100000
should have been expended before the
gold reserve was disturbed if its main
tenance is considered desirable. If this
had been done the gold reserve would
not have been molested. People wanting
gold would have procuredsit somewhere
else.
The law authorizes the payment of
silver in the, redemption of government
paper if it does not compel it. and while
it may not be violation of law for the
secretary to refuse to pay it out, it is an
unquestioned violation of law to issue
bonds for the purpose of obtaining gold
for such use while there is money of
either metal in the treasury, not covered
by certificates.
There is no excuse or explanation of
the course of the present administration
possible except that it was a deliberate
conspiracy between it aud the Wall
street interests to enrich themselves at
the expense of the taxpayers. A greater
or a more inexeusable outrage was never
perpetrated on people. It never had
and never can have a shadow of justif-
cation. The bond issues were robbery
pure and simple, deliberate and pre-
meditated,

KNEISLEY RELEASED.
Commissioner Wagner Does Not Like
Spotter Evidence Either.

Commissioner Wagner Does Not Like
Spotter Evidence Either.
Yesterday Robert Kneisley was held
BY United States Commissioner Ed.
WAGNER to answer to the United States
District court for selling liquor without
a license. Today Commissioner Wagner
reconsidered his decision and ordered
the release of Kneisley.
Commissioner WAGNER is following
the stand taken by Judge Hazen against
the conviction of alleged jointists OF
"spotter' testimony. and it is for that
reason that he has refused to hold Kneis-
ley.
AS these men are released the laurels
are falling from the brow of ID. E.
Gaines, the policeman who was respon-
sible for the arrest of these men. The
two men who testified against Kneisley
are J. B. Martin and Sam Alkire, his
son in law, and they are as sorry look
ing specimens of humanity as one can
find.
Last April the men were encamped at
the CITY park, and Gaines went to them
and gave them money to buy groceries
and the necessaries of life. The men
we're very poor, and they said yesterday
that they would have had to go begging
if Gaines had not helped them.
In pay for his assistance he bargained
with the men that they should do "spot-
ting" for him, and they bought whisky
at several places, among them being
Kneisley's They drank some of the
whisky with Gaines, and gave the bottle
containing the rest to the policeman.
The men now live in Lyon county, and
they were brought here to testify in the
case.
