When the people refused to authorize
loan they left council nothing to do
but to increase the tax levy, and cOun'
Gil cannot be blamed for doing it 1t is
mot only right to increase the levy, but
it is right to make tho increase enough
to SEQ tho city safely through the year.
The necessity for an increase is to be
regretted, but council found a condition
OF affairs with which it was compelled
to deal. That find was an inheritance
from Democratic administration. All
that can be asked Of the present council
is TO do the best it can to dig the city
out Of the hole, and then to take caro-
that it does not get the city into an
other such p%redicament
Ills good policy to clean up now and
to keep the city's affairs up to date every
year. This the people have a right to
expect, and the ISTELLidrScER believes
it is the intention Of council to meet
this reasonable public expectation.

His Counsel Presents New Pha' Of tho
Qucs'ion-Franos and Madagascar Was
Not Actually ut war.
WASHINGTON, D. c., July 22.-Mr.
Crammoud Kennedy, who has become
the principal counsel In tho case Of ex'
Consul Waller now serving a sentence
in a French jnii for violation Of tho nou,
~trality laws between this country and
Franco, called at tho state department
to-day for the purpose OF presenting
certain phases OF tho case. Mr..
Kennedy is disposed TO lay much stress
on the fact that at the time OF Walters
arrest, there was no actual state OF war
between France and Madagascar. He
contends that Waller, for this reason,
could not have boon guilty OF tho charge
on which he was triad and convicted.
In conversation with n representative
oil Tho Associated Press no said this
phase Of the case has not yet been pro-
sonted by this government and as soon
"a Mr.. Oinoy should return he would
present the matter TO him in this light.
Outlining tho case in this Wow OF 1t, no
said:
III France was not at war, under the
law Of nations, with Madagascar, she
had no right to subject any clifton OF
subject Of a third power to trial by nit.
itary commission. Such n trial, involv.
ing either personal liberty OF rights Of
property, is tho gravest kind OF Il viola.
ton OF civil rights aud liberties pertain.
ing to Citizenahip. In Wallor's case,
there had been no declaration Of war by
France against Madagascar, aud tho
United States had not been informed
that there was any war between the
queon Of Madagascar and France. Tho
uuitod States had treaty relations with
both France and Madagascar, aud Wal.
lor, as d clifton oil the United States,
was undcr a duty to respect tho treaties
between his government and the quoon.
In addition to this duty he owed local
allegiance to the QuOOn OF Madagascar
while resident In her territories, and tho
very thing for which no was arrested,
namely, Tor giving certain information
through his vito to the queens govern
mont, may have bOeu done in tho per-
iormanco Of a duly."

ThoroiS no reason why the gas board
should not present to council annually
an itemized statement OF its business.
OF course the same applies to every
other board transacting business for the
city. But just now it is the business OF
tho gas board that attracts attention.
The itemized account should been
gone over carefully item by item by an
expert. II there be a good reason why
expenses arc heavier than when moro
gas was produced, let the reason come
out. II no reason eau be given, lot that
interesting fact come out

It is evident that France has not yet

pose Of our government In tho case oil
ex.Consul Waller, This may be in
part because our government has not
pushed the mStter hard enough, but
why has not tho state department been
moro detsrmlnOd2
Enough facts were laid before the
secretary Of stase to eRIiGhteR him on
the subject. lilo has known that under
assumed authority Franco put Mr..
Waller in prison in Madagascar and
then transferred him to a prison in
France. lie knows that he has re-
colved no satisfactory explanation Of
any phase OF the cause.
The secretary OF state should want an
instant aud explicit explanation OF the
refusal Of France to allow our minister
to see and to talk with Mr.. Waller. II
this explanation does not come Ct once
it will indicate that France knows she
cannot afford to let the Imprisoned man
tell his story to the representative oil
his government
This is ono Of the most remarkable

Mariposa County Mines.

To the Editor Of the Call: All the mines
are looking fine, and activity is everywhere
to be seen. The old mines that have been
laying dormant for years are now being
taken hold of by new men with capital.
There has been several properties recently
sold to Eastern capitalists. The Virginia
mine has been purchased by Dan O'Toole
OF Arizona and Eastern capitalists. An
English company has purchased large
group OF mines and work will be COM
menced at once. Mr.. Tarpey of Alameda
County has bonded several large mines
and work will begin on them at once.
Mr. Ward is pushing the work on the
Pholro Blanche; he has cut the ledge and
1t looks finely. 1t bids fair to be one of the
leading mines of Coulterville Mr.. George
Gates and Mr.. Phil Cochran have bonded
a group OF three mines, consisting of the
Belmont, Last Chance and Eighfy-f four.
These mines are located on the mother
lode. adjoining the Virginia Coulterville
bids fair to become one of the best mining
towns in the State. The town has once
more awakened from her slumbers. and
| there are not sufficient accommodations at
the hotels for guests now arriving. Re-
spectfully, PHIL COCHRAN.
