YOUNG AGAINST BADCOCK,
Controversy Over the School
Superintendency Under
Argument.
San Francisco'S Dual Government
Again the Subject of Judicial
Inquiry.

The controversy between Charles n.
Young and Madison Babcock. as to which
one shall hold the Office of Superintendent
of Public Schools, was argued before Judge
Trout yesterday. C. w. Cross, M. M.
Estee and James Alva Watt appeared for
the plaintiff and Judge Van R. Paterson
and r. W. Ashe represented the defend
ant The case was before the court on
Babcock's demurrer to Young's complaint.
Judge Paterson opened the argument.
In bis remarks he attacked the validity of
the county government act as applied to
San Francisco and proceeded to point out
the absu1dities in it when read in comparl
son with local conditions. The county
government act demands that each county
be divided into five Supervisorial Districts
that only certain cities shall be made the
county seats, and also just how the county
seat can be moved. 1t provides for road
masters and road taxes, but it has no men,
ton of Superintendent of Streets or a
Mayor. The burden OF his argument was
precisely the same as that advanced in the
electric commission case against the pres
ent formation of that body, VIZ: that San
Francisco being city and county, a dual
government did not come under provisions
which relate to counties pure and sim pie.
1t was contended by counsel for the
plaintiff, Young, that for purposes of gov
ernment San Francisco was to be consid-
ered as county. and that the county gov
ernment act, being measure to secure a
uniform county government throughout
the State. was applicable in the City and
County of San Francisco wherever it did
not conflict with existing circumstances.
The Superintendent of Schools, it was
argued, was county officer, the Office be-
ing created by the constitution for all
counties. In view of this, counsel main
tanned, the officer was governed by county |
laws, or by the county government act |
and as there was nothing in the govern |
mental system of this City rendering his
by the Supervisors impossi- |
BILE, the county government act therefore |
and in this particular it repealed |
the consolidation act which directed such |
a vacancy as Superintendent of Schools to |
be appointed by the Board of Education
Judge Paterson had argued that laws !
could not be repealed by implication, but |
must be dealt with in specific terms, but |
plaintiffs counsel argued that it could be !
done by such implication as had been |
mentioned-that the later act applied |
when not conflicting.
The case was submitted after the argu-
ments.

REV, DONALD NJ. ROSS SCORES v. ", FOOTE,

exchanging views and information regard
ing the market conditions of stamps and
other matters pertaining to the hobby,
and a considerable amount of business
was transacted between the dealers and
collectors who attended.
During the last season not less than
100000 marks ($500, ,000) worth of stamps
changed hands.
Mr.. Sellschopp visited all the largest
stamp emporiums in Europe, taking in
Berlin, Paris, Brussels, Leipzig and London.
in his efforts to fill commissions intrusted
to him by Henry J. Crocker, Will II.
Crocker and other prominent and ad-
vanced collectors OF this City. The finest
stock of varieties he found at Leipzig.
There the rarer classes of stamps, which
range from $40 to $50 each, were found by
the dozen, and even by the score, and all
selected specimens, such as would bring
the highest market price.
A striking feature Of the European trade
is the independence with which dealers
there treat customers. No urgins is ever
resorted to in the endeavor to effect sale,
particularly of rarities, as the demand
has grown so strong for all the better
stamps that the sales of rarities that fall
into dealers hands is made without
trouble And the very rarest and highest
priced stamps find the quickest sale. For
choice specimens the holder can virtually
nam his own price.
In this connection Mr.. Sellschopp called
attention to peculiar condition of things

the matter of the controversy between the
Rev. Father Yorke and the Rev. Donald
NJ. Ross.
Instead Rev. Mr.. Ross has named Major
T. A. Sherman of Oakland to represent
him. The former says that Attorney w.
w. Foote, the selection of Father Yorke,
is prejudiced against the American Pro-
tect1ve Association. Here is his letter on
the subject:
SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 13, 1895.
Editor CdLt-SIR: / assure you / regret to
rush into print again in skirmfsh which &C
cording to the terms of the challenge ought
now TO be settled. Peter c. Yorke came before
the country saying with apparent Hberality
and magnanimity that he would leave the de-
cision to three non-Catholic lawyers. knew
that was claptrap, thrown out 10 win some
few to his side. / therefore chose non-Catho,
lie lawyer and Immediately the hoofs and
horns appeared. Let US see why my nom
Catholic lawyer is not acceptable to him who
said non-CathoIic LAWYERS would do. "Mr.
American Protective Association. But let me
ask what has the American Protective Associa-
ton to do with my proofs that Romanism is q
political machine?
It is nor the American Protective Association
that Is on trial in this matter. The whole dis
pute is over the production OF proofs to sub
stantiate certain charges made against the
Roman Catholic church.
These are forthcoming or they are not.
Besides all this, am told by several who at
tended q political meeting in Metropolitan
Temple just previous to the last election that
w. w. Foote made fine speech in which,
among many other patriotic and soul
stirring flights of oratory, he said that
during the Civil War he was fighting
against the Government of the United
States and got wounded; that while he
was off duty and in q hospital the Sisters of
Charity took such good care of him that he just
fell in love with the whole outfit. Then turn
ing aside in his Grafton, he said he had no use
for the A. P. A, and proceeded to lay that
organization out in Corbett shape, to the de-
light of his one-sided audience.
knew that bias in him, but had not a word
or thought against his appointment for he
would be fair as any might expect.
II was none of my business whom Peter c..
Yorke chose, and submit that it is none of
w. w. Foote'S business whom l select so long
as he is as much gentleman as Mr.. Foote.
Mr. Foote'S action in this matter is quite
similar to Mr.. Yorke's when that gentleman
challenged me and then laid down the dictum
that should not have the privilege of choos-
Ing the time, the place or the manner of pre-
senting my proofs.
Gentlemen. stop this kicking and baking.
You remind me of the hasty retreat Arch
bishop Riordan once beat when party called
on him to debate a certain proposition.
In order that there be no coal hole in this
debate, Mr.. Outflow and I have decided, after
consultation, to remove his name from the ar
bitration.
l now name as my last and final choice a
gentleman as honored as his name is historic,
understood that will under no condition re-
cede an inch from this choice. I shall go on
with my proofs. YouIs truly,

WANT TO co TO CONGRESS
Fine Galaxy Of Republican AS
pirants in the Fifth Dis.
trict.
John 7. Dare, Frank Powers and M.
Cooney Willing to Succeed
Eugene Loud.

The number of Republicans willing to
represent the Fifth District in the next
Congress is steadily increasing. The
latest addition to the list of aspirants for
Congressional honors is Frank II. Powers,
District in the last Legislature. He is in
the field working actively to influence
prospective delegates in favor of his nomi-
nation.
Another candidate, no less renowned
and respected, is Judge M. Cooney, who
served his party in the last campaign as q
member of the executive committee of the
Republican State Central Committee, and
subsequently gained some publicity for
the course he pursued in opposing the
confirmation of Samuel Foster as Election
Commissioner.
John T. Dare is accredited with Con-
gressional aspirations, and his friends
claim that he has remarkably strong fol-
lowing in the district where he has so Ion g
resided.
Many politicians have been inquiring
the cause of James Lows frequent visits
to San Francisco of late. In the Legis-
lature of the first session of Governor
MAI kudm . LOW Oh OdnI8
Clara and II. c. Dibble of San Francisco
pulled together. Judge Dibble cut ont the
Fifth Congressional District to suit him
SELF but in SO doing had to concentrate
vast number of Democrats in the Fourth
District. Dibble has since failed to get
nomination in the district which was made
so solidly Republican. 1t has been sug-
gested that Mr.. Lows frequent visits are
in the interest of Judge Dibble.
Representative Loud has no intention,
as far as can be ascertained, of retiring
from the field. He has many friends in
the district who favor him for another
term, and besides he has the friendship of
Speaker Reed, which IS regarded as a
strong point in any Republican district.
The intention of w. S. Leake to resign
the position of Postmaster at Sacramento
to accept larger salary in San Francisco
is causing Senator Stephen NJ. White no
end of trouble at Washington. The ap-
plicants for the expected vacancy are
legion. Last evening the Senator tele-
graphed to Postmaster Leake to ascertain
if the latter had resigned. Mr.. Leake
wired negative reply, but gave assurance
that the Senator would be first informed
of the resignation when it was ready.

in the stamp history of the day. While
abroad he became cognizant OF an outflow
of philatelic gems from the United States
to Europe. He explained that the Ameri-
cans evidently did not realize the possi-
bitities of the market and the great appre-
citation that was bound to follow the extra
ordinary demand for unused old German
and British colonial stamps. 1t was these
classes of stamps that were being drained
from this country to find quick sale at ad
vanced prices in the philatelic centers OF
Europe.
He added that the American dealers and
collectors will some day wake up to reali-
cation of their mistake, and then be glad
to repurchase these gems at figures that
would now be deemed fabulous or extor-
tionate.

interested, Judge Slack appointed Van R.
Paterson as the child's guardian.
subsequently the pencil will was sub
mltted for probate, and then Herman
Oeirlchs applied for the guardianship of
his son, alleging he was his natural pro-
tector. The child is not mentioned, how
ever, in the pencil will, the one Oelric. s is

should Oelrichs be appointed his sons
guardian he would not be interested in
caring for his wards legal rights. In
view of these facts Judge Slack has de-
MED the application of Oelrichs and de-
cided to allow the boys interests under
the will to rest in Patterson's hands.
Oelrichs had obtained general guar
dlanshlp over his son, and the point Just

ing matter in it's realm, though it could
include all dead matter.
So though physiology might include so
much of psychology as to include the ami
NAL soul. it must stop short of philosophy,
the science of the human soul. Ia other
words, it might include the spirit dormant,
but could not include the spirit awakened.
This physiology was destined to absorb
psycholo v but philosophy never. There
is comparative physiology and a compar
ative psychology, but there never would be
comparative philosophy.
But all this was eXplainable by evolu-
ton. at first there were only natural
forces Suddenly chemical forces ap-
peared, being different kind of force, but
derived from the preceding. Thus, too,
lie appeared, then vital force, then con-
sciousness and, last of all, in the full ripe
ness of time, self-consciousnee and the
free spirit But all are derived from the
preceding, even as the newborn child has
only animal life, but at TWO or three years
of age acquires self-consciousness, which
IS equivalent to the truth of spirit. Even
so each science is underlaid by the other
physics, chemistry, physiology, psychol-
ogy, philosophy.
And if this be true Descartes and Hux-
ley were right. Desca rtes, indeed, ex-
cluded man from his automatism and in
this, | think, he was right. Huxley in
Guided man, and there he was wrong.
Science and art result from the free spirit
acting on external materials; philosophy
from the spirit acting on materials fur
nished by itself; ethics and religion from
the spirit acting upon both. Evolution
and progress, therefore, are not made by
exploding old views, but by modifying
them, and the best test OF a rational
philosophy is that it recon Giles apparent
contradictions by explaining the relations
OF their superficial differe rences.

LISTENED TO LE CONTE,
Philosophy and Physiology Be-
fore the Psychical So
ciety.
The Relation of Two Sciences Set
Forth in Metaphysical
Phraseology.

Professor Joseph lie Conte lectured last
evening before the California PsychicaI
Society in Golden Gate Hall, taking as his
subject 1.-THE Relation of Philosophy to
Physiology" The lecture included pre-
cisely the subiect-matter of paper pre-
pared three years ago for delivery before a
philosophical society in Washington. and
the lecturer thought proper to apologize
for selecting such difficult subject, though
promising to make it as clear as such a
subject can be made.
The speaker began his discourse by care
fully distinguishing between the various
uses of the word philosophy, as meaning
in one sense the attitude of the mind
toward truth, and in another the subject
matter of truth, and in third the grounds
of validity of human knowledge. In the
sense he used the word 1t treated of the &C
tivities of free spirit or the phenomenolcgy
OF spirit, as that term is used by certain
philosophers. He said:
If my view of the origin of mans spirit
that it was existing in embryo in the lower
animals, developing by evolution until it be-
came the spirit born in man and therefore
immortal-if this be true there is q vast dis
tinction to be made between philosophy and
physiology, and most important one.
tlncton between man and the animals,
thus confounding physiology, psychology
and philosophy, But that such a distinction
exists and that it is an important one is evil
dent from the recognized difference between
the senseless articulation of the parrot and the
speech of man, between the empirical produc-
tlons OF animals, reproducing the nests and
habitations OF long line of ancestors, and the
creations of the human race. And this differ
ence may readily be traced through the fine
arts and the realms of thought, between con-
sciousness and self-consciousness betWeen n
yolition and self-determinaion. And all
of spirit by evolution through the lower
animals till born into the higher life.
The lecturer distinguished sharply be-
tween the apparently voluntary actions
of animals and the self-determined actions
of man. The animal was affected by ex-
ternal forces, and its action was the result
of physical changes in the nerves, brain
cells and so forth, caused by that force.
He granted to the animal psychic ma
ture, but claimed for man something
more-a metaphysic or philosophical ma
ture. Tie phenomena of life force be-
longed to the science of physiology, those
OF nerve or vital force to psychology, and
those of self-consciousness to philosophy.
But psychology partook both of physiology
and philosophy, and the line of demarca-
tion must be drawn sharply between the
voluntary physical actions and the moral
actions of which man alone is capable.
The lecturer illustrated his meaning by
referring to the old distinctions which were
made between inorganic and organic chem
lstry and between them and life. Inorganic
chemistry had broken down the first bar
rlers and might now be said to include the
organic, but it must stop short of physi-
ology, inasmuch as it could not claim liv-

THE NEW FERRY DEPOT.
Contracts Will Not Be Let Until Next
Monday Morning.

COnCraCIS w NOU De Let Until Next
Monday Morning.
The Harbor Commissioners are still puz-
zling over the bids for the new ferry depot
They do not know whether to reject the
bids for the masonry and retain all the
others or not and have consequently post
poned the matter until Monday morning
in order to get the opinion of the boards
attorney on the matter. The chances are
that before the Commissioners decide
upon any one stone that they will visit the
various quarries and ascertain their out
put and the general appearance of the
rock.
A representative of the Risdon Iron
Works was in atte ndance and asked that
the contract for the ironwork be let.
Chief Engineer Howard Holmes was in
favor of granting the request, on the
grounds that great deal of the ironwork
would have to be in place before the
masonry-work could begin. President
Colnon was not sure that such proceed
ing would be legal end refused to let any
of the contracts until the matter was de-
cided by the boards attorney. The
chances are that final decision will be
reached in the matter next Monday
morning.

AARON BARNES SUIT.
The Supreme Court Dismisses His Cal
Against His Wife.

The Supreme Court Dismisses His Case
Against His Wife.
The case of Aaron Barnes Sr. against
Jesse Burk Barnes for reconveyance Of
property and $4,000 damages has been
decided by the Supreme Court, as it was
by the lower court, in favor of the defend
ant.
Barnes conveyed to the defendant, under
contract to marry him and live with
him through life' the property which he
wishes to have back again The convey
ance was made July Is, 1885, and the next
day the defendant and himself were mar
ried They lived together until August.
1892, when the defendant deserted the
plaintiff, and he brought suit for his prop.
erty and damages
Barnes alleged the perfectly evident
proposition that she had not lived with
him through his or her life, or any life,
but the lower court held that by marry-
ing the plaintiff she had performed her
part of the contract.
In sustaining this view of the case the
Supreme Court goes further, and says that
the agreement 10 live together through
life is part OF the marriage contract, under
even ordinary circumstances, and the
marriage contract is sometimes broken in
spite OF this provision. In continuing upon
another point raised in the case, the high
court shows touch of humanity within
the strict rules of the law. when man
marrleS woman knowing her to be not
virtuous," 1t says, ss'ne forfeits his right to
aiiege that fact as an avenue of escape
from the ties with which he has bound
himself, and it is presumed that when
taking wife, man will satisfy himself as
to her character before leading her to the
altar" This, the Supreme Court says, is
one OF the modes OF salvation to one who
has not always been as she should, and
the fact that he had consented TO forget
the past gives no man the right to rake
over its ashes for cause of complaint and
as means of freedom.

A period of fourteen days was given the
offending firms in which to either discon-
