AFTER THE BALL.
Robert Scholz, One of the Maskers,
Given a Severe Beating.

Among the characters represented at
tbe masquerade ball on Thursday night
was one of a Catholic clergyman, in the
nerson of Robert Scholz, who is en-
n1oved a. a. cook in the Ell Dorado sa-
loon. Scholz is a man of large stature
and II is said his make-up-whether in
tentionally or by accident-bore
strong resemblance to the personality
of the late Bishop Manogue, the ami
versary of whose death came on the
day of the ball.
Scholz carried in his hand a box made
in imitation of a, prayer-book, which he
frequently consulted, as If reading from
its pages, and at intervals would take
from it flask of liquor, raise it to his
lips and then resume his pretended
perusal of the book.
Several persons, including one of the
floor managers, urged him to discon-
tinue this practice and discard the gar
ments, as he was giving offense to some
of those present, but he refused to do so.
When the ball was over, and as Scholtz
emerged from the hall, two men jumped
out of a hack that was standing by the
curb and assaulted him. Scholz fought
back for while, but he was over
powered and severely beaten. He. says
the driver of the hack assisted his as
saiIants in doing him up He does not
know the men who assaulted him, and
has lodged no complaint against any
one.
1t so happened that there were no
other persons near by when the assault
was made, but it is presumed to have
occurred as related by Scholz himself.

AN UNEXPECTED DISCLOSURE.

The statement of Miss Martha Over
man, in which she confesses to being a
member of a conspiracy to blackmail
Dr. Brown, it must be remembered, pro-
ceeds from one who is on the average
plane of low life. She and her fellow
conspirators, according to her own
statement, intended to sell the story
which she claims was invented without
other foundation than her own love for
DR.. Brown, to the Chronicle" and she
innocently declares that it was their
belief that the chief market value Of the
story to the paper in question was
its blackman value. She declares that
the estimate which she and her fellow
conspirators placed upon the story was
not referable to its value as a sensa-
tional article for publication, but to the
Use that might be made Of it for black
mail purposes.
The question naturally arises: Is this
the estimate the common mind puts
upon the journalism of San Francisco
We share the universal opinion that
the story of Miss Oyerman is an inven-
ton; that she had assistance in con-
cocting 1t, but this has no significance
as disclosing the estimate Of the com
mon people concerning the practices of
Journalism The element of her story
to which we. have here referred is intro
duced to give it plausibility, and there
fore must have been founded in the
opinion which she has imbibed from
fhe atmosphere of. her associations as
to the use the journals of the cpuntry
make OF sensational stories of the ma
ture which she claims to have been con-
cccted.

A MISERABLE FAILURE.

The attempt of the wrecking crew of
this State. to effect the repeal of the
charter of the Southern Pacific Com
pany by Act of Legislature of Kentucky
has utterly failed. After all the roar
ing, braggadocio and threatening, the
proposition received just eight votes in
the Senate of that State.
What miserable, pusillanimous,
silly, childish-nay, idiotic piece of bust
ness it was. The charter is nothing
more, nothing less than a certificate of
Incorporation, just such as are filed in
California by the ten thousand, en-
abling men associated together in busi-
ness to sue and be sued, to acquire and
TO use property as a body corporate.
As one Of the Kentucky Senators point
ed out, what an asinine freak it was to
seek the repeal of that which in any
county in the State could be renewed by
simple filing of a certificate under the
general laws.
OF the incorporated business houses
aud industries operating in this State
fully one-half of them are chartered
under the laws of other States, and
California neither loses nor gains by the
fact. 1t has no sort ef influence upon
the people one way or another where a
certificate of incorporation is filed in
one or several States for a company do
ing business in more than one State.
The simple truth is that the assault
upon the Southern Pacific Company
through the attempted notification of
it's certificate of Incorporation, was one
of the Scrubbiest, most ludicrous and
unmanly things in the history of busi-
ness. That it should have been pro-
NOTED, whooped up and egged on by
such baleful influences as the San Fran
cisco Examiner and San Francisco
Call" however. largely accounts for it's
character.
It will now be in order for the wreck
ers to shout that the railroad lobby
corrupted, bought sold and trafficked
III Ine HleHfDeIS u the hSnluChy sen
ate; here is another instance of the Swill
of the people being defeated by cor
porate manipulation" Indeed, we may
be pardoned for suggesting to the
Call" and the Examiner" that here is
another opportunity for their cartoon
lists to get in their work. They have
achieved such triumphs with their pen
ellis thus far that this chance to immor-
talize themselves should not escape
them.

A FREE MARKET.

Why should not Sacramento avail Of
the free market idea and establish here
what is common in many States, and
that has been resolved upon in San
Francisco? Why not establish free
market in this city? Oakland has had
one for nearly two years and though it
is limited to certain days in the week,
it is complete success.
There ought to be set aside on some
street a little removed from the main
business streets, a district of say one or
two blocks. in which producers should
be free to bring in their produce and sell
it direct to consumers, or to supply deal
ers. Suppose a section central and con
venient and where are few residences or
costly buildings, to be set apart, on a
street not greatly used for business traf-
fc. Speedily that spot would become
the place where consumers and pro-
ducers could meet on the level, the one
selling for cash at best rates and the
other receiving what they want at low
est prices Thus there would be at once
the swiftest and best disposal at rea-
sonable profit. and the largest oppor-
tunity for the consumer to procure sup
plies at the most favorable rates and
under the best conditions.
The place selected should, of course,
be conducted under careful superin-
tendency and strict regulations, the cost
Of which would be borne by the users
Of the market. It should be such place
as will enable producers to sell from the
walkway or the street, or, if they felt
the need for so doing. under shelter.
The present every morning market of
and Third streets could be moved to the
new quarters, and two chief business
streets be relieved from what is now in
some respects an inconvenience. But
whatever locality may be selected

It is unnecessary at this time to pre-

OF the free market system; they are

such benehcence that really there is
nothing to be advanced against them. It
may be said now, however, that under

REBUKE FROM KENTUCKY.
Dismal Failure of the Anti Railroad
How1ers

How1ers.
(Froms the Stockton independently
The Goebel bill to annul the charter
of the Southern Pacific Company was
yesterday defeated in the Kentucky
Senate, where it was introduced, by a
vote of 20 to s This shows that the vim
dictive spirit against the railroad COM
pany has not taken much hold in the
blue grass commonwealth. When one
considers the flood of malicious writing
that has been turned out in an effort to
influence the whole people of the
United States, and especially the people
in Frankfort, KY, and in the National
Capital, the failure, in the Kentucky
Legislature is most dismal to those who
have bounded the railroad company,
and every person who had the courage
to oppose its political enemy. The spirit
manifested toward the railroad has been
more than vindictive-it has been an
archistic. The Southern Pacific Com
pany is operating railroads in Califor-
MIA, Oregon, Utah, Texas. New Mexico
and Arizona under the Federal inter-
state law, and to avoid harassing trials
under the conflicting statutes of the
States, the company sought a charter
in Kentucky. This action enabled it to
go into the Federal Courts for protec-
tion against such a mob spirit as has
been recently exhibited toward it, 1t
was a movement for self-protection
where the law would be administered
with exact justice, and the necessity for
such action and the wisdom of it have
been abundantly shown because it was
made almost unsafe to raise the voice
against the political enemies of the rail-
road in California San Francisco papers
sought to outdo one another in catering
to the unlawful spirit, and the "Ex-
aminer," in particular, tried every form
of intimidation it could exert to deter
business men from expressing their
honest opinions as to what is best to do
TO readjust the debt of the railroads
to the Government Thus sound busi-
ness arguments were either suppressed
by Inflammation or drowned out by
clanor, until the population of Cali
fornia was made to seem insanely bent
on the annihilation of the Southern Pa
cific Company, regardless of the conse-
quences to themselves. In thus repre-
senting California vindictive writers
and speakers have libeled the State and
its population, and it is a matter of con-
graduation that the Kentucky Senate
has, by such large majority, shown
that the Senators do not believe the wild
political anarchists of San Francisco.
Perhaps the futility of the vindictive-
ness thus shown in Kentucky may bring
some of the agitators to their senses so
far as to make them listen to reason
and permit good sense and business
principles to govern in the solution of
what is, at its worst, a difficult bust
ness problem-the settlement of the
Governments claim against the aided
railroads.
