BUSINESS is improving all right, but the
United States treasury isn't making
money in these gray July days while the
President is of fishing and Secretary
CARLISLE is campaigning in Kentucky.
The treasury has commenced to pay out
about 100000 a day more than it has
received, and when the fishing season is
over the President can arrange TO get
out some more bonds.

DISCUSSED CAR TENDERS.
Manager Vining Answers the Letter
From the Civic Fedora
tiOn.

General Manager E. P. Vining of the
Market-street Railway Company has adj
dressed letter to the committee on safety
of the Civic Federation.
In the course of his letter he states that
the committee has failed to distinguish
the difference between failure to comply
with the law and failure to comply with
its Interpretation OF it. He then treats
of the question of car tenders, subject on
which he has been interviewed. He states
that such an appliance should be attached
to the front of the car truck, for the reason
that s'the car body oscillates and rises and
falls upon its springs much more than the
car truck, and the amount of this oscilla-
ton is greatest at the extreme end of the
body; hence, device attached to- the
front Of the car body cannot be brought as
close to the pavement as can similar de-
vice attached to the car truck. Further
more, a car comes in every trip to some
one or more points where the truck stands
upon level grade. while the front of the
car body projects over rising grade. Any
device attached to the car body must be
| raised sufficiently high to clear the pave
ment under such circumstances, which
would be more than one and half inches,
while for guard attached to the trucks it
| is not necessary to make any such allow
ance. When an accident is imminent the
| motorman applies his brakes and the
| speed OF the car is rapidly reduced, so that
| in most cases the speed at which the car
would be going at the time that fender
| attached to the car truck reached person
| lying upon the track would not exceed
| one-half the rate of speed at which the car
was moving when the front of the car body
reached the same point
| Mr.. Vining says further that it is only
because of the greater safety of the single
truck cars on the heavy grades that these
are used, and that it would have been
| fairer if the committee had mentioned the
numerous instances where the company
goes further than the law requires in its
| effort 10 protect human life and limb.

INDICTMENTS DISMISSED
Trial of the Railroad Strikers
May Never Be Taken
Up Again.
President Knox and John Cassidy
Allowed to Go on Their Own
Recognizance.

The Ito indictments against the OAKLAND
and Sacramento strikers now on file in the
Office of the United States District Court
will probably never be used. The charges
against John Cassidy and John Mayne
were, in fact, test cases, and when the
Government failed to secure a conviction
1t became almost certainty that all the
Others would be dropped. The trial of the
two strikers mentioned occupied nearly
six months and cost the Government
nearly $4,000. The Attorney General has
no desire for another such experience,
especially as there is little or no hope of
securing conviction.
The action of United States District
Attorney Foote in the matter is accepted
as sure indication of the Governments
intention in the matter. From time to
time strikers under indictment have gone
to him and pointed out that they were act
ualiy In want, but dare not leave the State
to look for work because of the charges
hanging over them. On this showing the
u lstrlct Attorney at once nolle prosecuted
the charges against them and the men
went free. Those whose indictments have
been dismissed are: Runyon, Mahoney,
CrandeH, Riordan and Elliott, all members
of the Oakland branch of the American
Railway Union.
Another move in the various cases was
made yesterday. II. A. Knox. president
OF the Sacramento branch of the union.
and John Cassidy, who was tried month
ago, were released on their own recoeni-
zance: Both the men appeared before IBIS
trict Attorney Foote and Knox explained
that he and Cassidy had a good chance to
secure work, but they did not care about
leaving the State in difference to their
bondsmen. The latter were at once exon
Grated and the personal bond of the
strikers accepted. 1t is therefore pretty
generally conceded that any one Of the
strikers now under indictment can have
the case against him dismissed if he can
show that the charge hanging over his
head is keeping him from getting work. 1t
is only question of few weeks at the ont
side when all the charges will be dismissed
and the strikers cases taken from the cal
endar

and shut off all street lights for the coming six
week; therefore
Resolved, That this federation, representing
many thousands of property-owners ard tax
payers, most earnestly protest against such ac-
ton by said Board of Supervisors as without
warrant of law, there being sufficient money
in.the street-ight fund to pay for street lights,
which money should not be used for any other
purpose, as both the gas-light company and
the electric-light company, under their exist
ing contracts with this City and County, are
alone entitled to compensation from said fund,
and are ready and willing to continue to carry
out the conditions of said contracts therefore,
Resolved, That we know it will be dangerous
to both life and limb should our lights be shut
off, subjecting the City and County to liability
of actions for damages in the event of acct
dents caused by withholding the necessary
lights upon streets and roadways; therefore,
Resolved, That the Board of Supervisors be re-
ouested to reconsider their action of Monday
May 13, and continue the street lights.
1t was resolved to send copy of the
resolutions to the Supervisors, and also to
instruct the secretary to communicate with
the chairmen OF the various clubs. asking
them to use their influence in accordance
with the resolutions.

had TO save and plan. was mainly struck
by the fact that women in the smaller towns
were planning 10 come, as if to pilgrimage.
What Iconsider the great I'm portance of the
congress is, that it will bring together that
numerous and intelligent class Of our citizens
who would never be able to exchange ideas
otherwise. Talk about immigration! Why, I
consider the congress should help immensely
to promote it. 1t is one thing to brag of pum-
kins and another 10 show We have some brains,
but there is more than one way OF working to-
ward the same end.
Mrs. Stetson added that it would be the
aim of the congress of '95 to show most
fully and carefully the value and influence
of home life--not as matter of popular
sentiment but as a matter of sociological

| how much interest the coming congress
has aroused in the country, Nine. Louise
Sorbier. who is also member of the exec
utive board, is enthusiastic over the inter
est that it will excite in San Francisco.
Said she:
So many of our best women are just looking
| forward with Impotence to attending the con-
gress. To my mind 1t VIII do so much good in
educating women to take an interest in the
| changes that are taking place in the outside
world.
Many OF our mothers, for instance. think il
is almost wrong to take an interest in munici
pal affairs. They do not see that they are
