ested. Each worker wants and is
justly entitled to the full product of
his effort. Nothing less than that is
justice to him; anything more than
that is injustice to others.
Unfortunately, however, under our
laws, customs, and social conditions,
but few workers do receive the full
product of their labor. And in this
sad fact there is great, widespread,
cruel injustice, which must be wiped
out before permanent peace, pros
peri.y, harmony and happiness can
prevail.
The sentiment expressed in the
words, teach for all and all for each,"
is very beautiful one, and wildly
suggestive of the long-looked-for and
earnestly prayedfor millennial period
"a period which is yet apparently sew
eral hundred years away. But in this
hustling, busting, practical age of the
world, the "each for all and all for
EACH motto finds but little favor out
SIDE the realms Of dreamland. Human
nature is not yet in a condition to
adopt such rule of action. What
this nation and the world in general
need is simple, even-handed justice.
When that prevails, every man will be
guaranteed the full reward of his
labor, and the enjoyment of all his
natural rights.

this disgraceful condition of fallen women
and degraded men,

this disgraceful condition of fallen women
and degraded men.
AS if the presence of these brazen crea-
lures were not enough, on almost every
corner, and several times between the cor
ners, are saloons, where these women are
wont to spend most of their time and
money in hideous revelry that would shock
the devil.
In their debauches they are accompanied
by men so low and degraded as to be dis
grace, even to the women on whose earn
ings they depend for support.
We have said that every word spoken has
an attraction for good or evil, and that
every person has greater or less ipflu-
ence over some other person. Every bad
deed or action tends to lead some one else
to do wrong. What effect, then, does the
disreputable district have on the morals of
the city? What effect does it have on the
business men (outside of the saloons) in
the immediate vicinity? What effect does
it have on owners of property, who cannot
find respectable tenant for the same?
And lastly, what influence does it have on
our school children who pass daily before
any number of these places and witness
scenes unfit for publication? Those little
girls ana boys, the future of our country,
whose minds are just right to receive every
wrong impression.
Many of them, with their mothers prayer
fresh in their minds and their fathers glad
smile lingering before their eyes, are
forced to go in front of and listen to the
brawls carried on in these hotbeds of vice.
Does that father realize that his son is
on dangerous ground? Does that mother
know that her loved one is breathing the
air of iniquity-is feeding her hungry mind
with knowledge tainted with vice and con-
Examinations? The influence of the disrep-
utable section on the young and impress
sionable minds of our school children can
! not be overestimated, when hundreds of
them are subject daily to such scenes as
they should never know.
Is it not high time for change to be in
augurated when our children are exposed
to the influence of such proceedings? just
what to be done with this problem is a
question that has riveted the attention of
| some of the best talent in the world. 1t is
practically impossible to stamp out the
evil entirely, for as long as men and wom-
en- inhabit the face of the earth it will ex-
| list to some extent.

THE TRUE MOTIVE FOR LABOR

One of our local preachers, with
philanthropic impulses. in his dis
course last Sunday among other things
said: "The true motive for enterprise
and industry is not to secure for one
self the full products of his labor, but
to labor each for all and all for EACH"
The true motive that actuates every
man who labors is desire to satisfy
his wants. Men as rule do not labor
for the fun there is in it, nor for the
sake of affording exercise for their
muscles and brains, nor yet for the
mere purpose of being philanthropists.
They labor because in no other way
can they achieve, acquire, accumulate,
or succeed in life. 1t is also a universal
rule that men seek to crafty their de-
sires on the line of least resistance.
Labor, in the full meaning of the term,
includes all human effort exerted to
supply human wants. Therefore all
men labor to q greater or less extent,
and in one way or another. If the true
motive for enterprise and industry is
not to secure for oneself the full prod
ucts of ones own labor, but to labor
each for all and all for each, then sure
~ nobody within the range of ordinary
human vision is laboring from 1.-THE
true motive" Each one is laboring to
procure such things as he needs or
thinks he needs, or to supply the wants
Of some other person or persons in
whose welfare he is specially inter.

That Kind of Thing IntoIerab;e

The Record presents its compliments to
THE HERALD, and hastens to extend as
siirances of much appreciation of the dig
nified but sharp and merted rebuke THE
HERALD this morning administered to one
Goodman-strange misnomer. Mr.. Colver,
an efficient reporter for the Record, was
first insulted and then assaulted by the
man Goodman yesterday, with no provoca-
ton. Mr.. Colver had very properly criti-
cised Goodman for having arrested and
imprisoned a person without due process
of law. Mr.. Colver injected more or less of
sting into his report of the affair, but
what Mr.. Colver said about it was mild as
buttermilk compared with what people
think and say about the act. Things can
not be done that way in the United States.
Do not try it on again-neither the inn
proper imprisonment of citizens, no mat
ter what their offense, nor the battery of
reporters who criticise such methods.
Men like Goodman were better clothed
with no authority, as they have not the
judgment for it's proper eXercise.-Los An
geies Record.

Democratic Democracy

We respectfully notice the criticism of
the Stockton Mail, the acknowledged organ
of the mugwump kickers of California,
that has SO much concern for our loyalty to
Democratic principles.
A personal opinion is good thing, and
the man who has formed one should be
commended for his loyalty to himself in
sustaining it on all occasions. Unless that
opinion is based upon broad and compre-
henSive intelligence in matters concerning
the welfare of the general public, it may
be wrong. 1t is always safe, however, to
be very careful and judicous when impos-
ing that opinion upon others who may
have different ideas, and who have personal
opinions based on just as much intelli-
gence and formed upon questions of like
character. There is always chance to
extend the courtesy of respect to those who
differ with us in matters of great moment,
and upon which there is such a wide differ
ence.
The Stockton Mail, as though imbued
with superior wisdom. undertakes to criti-
else the EXpositOr because it has seen fit to
say that it will be loyal to the Democratic
party and Democratic principles, and in
doing so, will support the national adminis-
tration. There may be some minor points
upon which the Mail may disagree with the
president, but that is not his fault. Stand
Ing upon Il peueStdl from WHICH MS ODSer-
walton must necessarily have wider range
of intelligence, we take it that Mr.. Cleve-
land and his advisors are more competent
and better equipped to manage affairs than
the editor of the Mail, and we feel inclined
to believe that he is the wiser of the two in
dealing with public affairs.
The trouble with the Mail is it has
dropped into the rut of gossip that has been
set ahoat by the Republican steerers, who
are not only seeking to defame the presi-
dent, but more particularly to injure the
Democratic party by rumors that have
no foundation in fact. No one sup
poses that Mr.. Cleveland will be
candidate for the position again. He
has never been accused of being a fool or
lacking in good judgment, and hence it is
not Cleveland they wish TO injure. Insofar
we have not seen anything to condemn in
his administration. He has been rather
independent, we confess, and exercised his
own judgment in the selection of his official
advisers by going out of his own party, but
as he was the president of the United
States, and not merely of the Democratic
party, that was only an exhibition of the
| highest patriotism. In his bond operations
he only sought the surest and most ex-
peditious means of meeting the exigencies
OF the occasion, as the Republican man
ayers had done on previous occasions, and
the aspersion that he had done so for pri-
vate gain is unworthy of any true Ameri-
can, much less member of his own party.
The EXpositor is in line with the principles
of the Democratic party, and proposes to
do duty on that line, believing that it is
right. and that it will have nothing to take
back when the clouds clear away.-Fresno
EXpOSitOr.

express my contempt of the despoler of

of mine to the ends of the earth, shoot
him dead and go up to the portals of
heaven with a confident smile. expecting
to hear the voice of God say: swell done,
thou good and faithful servant, enter into
the joys prepared for thee"
This is not fancy picture, painted for
elect, but is taken from real life, and is a
frequent occurrence in every part of the
civilized world.
There are too many of these despicable
scoundrels, who are not worthy of one
look from his satanic majesty, that prey
upon the charms and innocence of our
trusting maidens, as we'll as the low de-
graded species that live upon the earnings
of the fallen women.
Who shall deny that there should be
war begun against this, the most stupen-
wholly against these frail women, but by
all means let it include that class of men
that are a disgrace even to the women.
Mothers, are your daughters free from
the communicating influence of this gigantic
vice?
Fathers, are your sons subject to the
snares and attractions held out by these
agents of Satan?
Is your part of the city free from the hot
beds of vice, the shameless women, the
cowardly ruffians that insult respectable
ladies without fear of arrestY
If it is, then you do not live in the Eighth
ward, and perhaps do not know what a
fearful tide of sin and vice has been turned
upon this part of the city.
Save the girls; yes, and save the boys!

FRIDAY. JANUARY y. 1896
"THE CAUSE OF APPOINTMENT"
In their partial report, presented day
before yesterday, the grand jurors say:

We recognize that political influence is
too often the cause of appointment to pub
lie office, and would suggest that real ca
pabiiity and merit be made the essential
test of appointment and retention in the
employ of the county.
It would have been nearer the truth
il they had said that political infiu-
ence is invariably 1.-THE cause of ap-
pointment to public office" That real
capability and merit should be made
the essential test of appointment and
retention of public employees nobody
outside of the men who edo politics"
for living will deny, and even they
ostensibly subscribe to such test.
But 'real capability and merit" will
not be "the essential test so long as
public situations are considered party
spoils and they are subject to the con-
troll Of political bosses. just 30 long
a. it is within the power of men elected
to Office or the professional political
manipulators of the latter, to fill, &C.
cording to their wish. the subordinate
places in public departments, political
influence will be more potent in the
selection of public employees than con-
siderations Of merit and capability.
Political bossism is founded on the
ability to control the patronage of pub
lie departments and the forces that are
rallied for the capture of these de-
partments are Influenced by the re-
wards to come in the shape OF clerk
ships, deputyships, janitorships, etc.
When the Offices are secured men are
appointed to the various jobs they
contain, not because they are excep-
tionally honest and capable, but be-
cause they are exceptionally able and
active in carrying primaries and hand
ling delegates to conventions. And,
as rule, men who display signal abil-
itv ward strikers exhibit ample
iacs lily as public employees.
T most immediate and practicable
W Ut preventing the use of public
O.. as partisan asylum is to divest
tn leads of departments of the power
OF appointing whom they please as
subordinates, excepting possibly few
positions of peculiar trust or conf
dence This has been done in the postal,
customs and other branches of the
federal service by filling the subordi-
nate positions of these branches, with
few exceptions, from lists of people
who have passed competitive examina-
tions directed to the ascertainment of
the character, capabilities and general
intelligence of the applicants. The re-
suits of this method of selecting men
and women for the federal positions
noted have been most satisfactory.
With it in vogue "capability and
merit" become the essential test for
appointment and retention in the en-
ploy of the public.
There is no reason why this COMPETE
tive examination plan should not be
applied to city, county and state offices.
and flood of most excellent reasons
why it should. In the degree that this
plan is adopted political bossism as
typefied by Buckley, Croker and the
like will become extinct, for deprived
of patronage the boss would soon cease
to command following and his unholy
mission would terminate.

any degree of prosperity within the pa st
century. 1t is through this unified effort
alone that prosperity can come to Cali

THE debates in congress relative to
the pensions paid veterans and the
widows of veterans of the civil war,
bring to mind the fact that at the close
of the fiscal year there were 1,012,925
pensioners on the roll. The pensions
for this year will almost reach $780,
100000. After about another decade
the amount paid will materially de-
crease right along unless the enterpris-
ing pension attorney gets in some
fraudulent work.
