the proposition that the use of the sewer
by the city ratifies the extra expendi-
ture; in other words, that 1t is against
good conscience for the city to use the
sewer and refuse to pay plaintiffs claim
alleged to have accrued in it's construc-
ton Municipal corporations are rarely
estopped by such acts. The city officers
are but the agents of the city. The city
can, in good faith. use it's sewer without
inquiry as to'whether or not some of the
contractors engaged in its construction
have been paid for extras and without
risk by such act of approving of the do
ing of extra work not in the specifica-
tions. Technically speaking, there was
nc change in the plans. There was no
change in the specifications within the
meaning of the contract. Assuming that
there was such change, the change was
not made in accordance with the con-
tract. Even If the extras were made, as
contended by plaintiff, he still meets an
irsuperable obstacle in this action in
that he did not present his claim therfor
to the city council. The evidence offered
in support of such presentation is wholly
insufficient to establish other than de-
rand made upon certain members of the
council
The plaintiff Is, therefore, entitled to
Judgment in the sum of SILL and costs
of suit. Let judgment be entered ac-

A COMPLAINT SWORN OUT
Charging Mrs. A. q. Dellsle With Having
Made Threats
Filed In Justice Morrison's Court Last Even
ing-FLrther Dew. lopments May
Be Looked fer

Another chapter is to be recorded in
the tale of the ruptured friendship be-
tween Mrs. A. G. Delisle and Mrs. Louisa
Smith or Schmidt, and this time the mat
ter has already reached the courts. A
complaint was yesterday sworn to by
Mrs. Smith and filed in Justice Morri-
sons court, in which Mrs. Delisle is ac-
cused of having made threats to kill
her quondam friend. The document was
not presented until just before the ad-
journment of court and upon it war
rant will issue for the arrest of the lady
on the felony charge.
When Mrs Delisle discovered that she
had been robbed of $500 in gold and ac-
cused her friend of having taken it she
used language that was more than en-
phatic. AS the days passed on and the
prospect of recovering her lost coin
grew less and less the matter preyed
on her mind so that she became highly
nervous and eXcitable and when the
clash between the women occurred in
The Herald office, Mrs. Delisle gave
vent to her surcharged feelings in the
language upon which the complaint Is
based. Throughout the meeting Mrs.
Smith retained an outward calm and the
threatened personal encounter between
the couple was averted.
At her rooms in the Nadeau hotel Mrs.
Delisle was seen last evening and in
formed of Mrs Smiths latest move.
She was completely surprised for the
moment, but, recovering herself, said
that it was no more than what she had
expected. 1t was the first intima ton she
had received, but she would be ready to
face her accuser. 1t had been her dis
position to be as lenient as possible with
Mrs. Smith, although she was certain
that she had robbed her. on account Of
their former friendship and the fact that
she was a woman.
While in a highly excited and angry
state over her loss she had used Ian
guage which Mrs. Smith had been en-
abled to found a complaint upon, but she
laughingly inquired as to whether or
not she looked like a very dangerous
person. This she did not, and the be-
jeweled lady lying back at ease in her
cushioned chair seemed the last per-
son one would pick out as bloodthirsty
female looking for gore. Mrs. Delisle was
in consultation with her attorneys sew
eral times yesterday and has about de-
her husband in the city within day or
two and until his arrival will simply
wait.
Speaking of the latest development,
the complaint, she said that it might pos
sibly discommode her for the time be-
ing, but that it probably would not
amount to much. In the morning she
should go to court and make answer,
giving the required $1,000 bonds and hav-
ing the case set for examination, which
will b edeferred until her husbands ar

BASEBALL
The Great Contest ior the California Cham
pionship on Sunday Next

The Great Contest ior the California Cham.
pionship on Sunday Next
Next Saturday will practically decide
the great contest for the California
championship.
All protests against contesting clubs
have been decided and there will be no
more kicking, but straight, clean-cut,
honest and gentlemanly baseball will be
all that will be witnessed at Athletic
Park next Saturday, when teams from
Alameda, San Luis Obispo, Saticoy. San
Diego and the Tufts-Lyon Arms club
of this city will contest for the final
honors. Great enthusiasm prevails and
an unusually large crowd will doubtless
turn out to witness the first baseball
tournament ever seen in this city.
The first game will be called at 10 am.
and will be between San Luis ObispO
and Saticoy. While the teams have not
played much ball they have fine repu-
tations and it is said the Saticoy boys
lose every ball shot across the plate, if
they can only find it.
The second game, called at 12 m, is be-
tween the San Diego High School team
and the well-known Boys in Blue, rep
resenting the Tufts-Lycn Arms COM
pany of this city. The boys say that IT
their friends turn out in great numbers
enough to root for them, they will put
up much better ball.
At 2 pm. the famous Alameda Alerts
will cross bats with the winners of the
first game and at pm. the winners of
the second and third games will play the
great final which will decide the Cali
fornia state championship.
The management has set the exceed
ingly low rate of 25 cents for the whole
day and all lovers of baseball will wit
ness fine games.
A special invitation is extended to
ladies, and the management promises
that there will be no loud, boisterous or
other ungentlemanly conduct, but only
high class, well conducted amateur
sport.

SILVER TRUST GREED.

Globe Democrat: Mr. Depew points out
that the owners OF silver mines expect TO
profit by paying their workmen in cheap
dollars-that is. b. reducing the wages Of
miners AS matter Of fact, the free sill
yer movement is conspiracy against the
wages of all kinds of laborers.
New York World: Since silver was Struck
down by the crime Of 1878" the mines of the
Unied States alone have produced 9S95i6,-
900 ounces. The commercial value of this
enormous yield, Teckoned at the average
price for each year was S9i3 0S3 0O0 The
coinage value of the total product, at the
existing ratio, was Sl21475l.000. So that
II permitted to enjoy the free coinage the
mine owners would have made an additional
profit" as the circular of their finance
committee" truly put it. of $271 Sos 900. They
would have made an additional profit" of
S33 900 on the yield of 1894 and OF $780,
600, 900 on the yield Of 1895. No wonder
Mr. Morrill, thought they could not afford
not to give" the additional profit they
would receive for their own silver product
for one month" to help elect a frec-coinage
president
Courier-Journal: From 1873 to 1898 the
mine owners were in the saddle. They
passed the act Of 1873. which enabled them
TO coin S36 000, 600 of their silver on pri-
vate account. What were left of these
coins were afterward redeemed by the gov
ernment In money as good as gold, all at the
expense Of the taxpayers. Afterward the
United States passed laws to furnish them
market for $500, 900 900 OF their bullion
and this has been depreciating in the hands
Of the people and the goTernment, entailing
loss of many millions. The fat" of these
men has come from the substance OF the
people. They have obtained 1t as the re-
suit OF laws which their attorneys have
passed but they are not yet satisfied They
wish to continue the same system on
larger scale. and to this end they ere asked
to supply fund to corrupt the ballot.

OEK POLIGY IN CERA.

The dispatch from Havana, stating
why Consul General Lee has failed to
10 certain things in Cuba which it was
understood he was appointed to do and
laying the responsibility for such failure
upon Secretary Olney will command II
great deal of attention If the statements
made are found to be trustworthy. The
first impression regarding them is that
they We're inspired from the consulate
in Cuba, but it may turn out that they
are nothing more than the unauthorized
views of the correspondent
1t is said that plan devised by Gen
cral Lee for settling the rebellion. which
met with public favor in Cuba, was dis
countenanccd ut Washington. 1t is
possible that our consul general did pro-
pose Il plan of settlement that was ap-
proved by some people, but it is highly
probable that the correspondent gives
1t much too great Importance. The fact
that few hundred Spanish and Cuban
planters, merchants and politicians en-
dOrscd some suggestion of General Lee
was hardly of such significance as to
warrant the statement that all chance
10 sending the revolt by the Intervention
Of the United States was thereby lost
AS TO other features of the dispatch the
only one of real Importance, and this
seems exaggerated is the statement
that it is. far more dangerous to carry
American citizenship papers in Cuba
than to carry rebel pass. Certainly
nothing has recently occurred to show
this to be the ease and the report must
be regarded as questionable
That Secretary of State Olney should
desire 10 avoid complications with Spain,
in which he is of course supported by
the president, is quite in accord with the
conservative sentiment of the country
and by no means implies any partiality
on his part toward the Spanish minister
or the Spanish government Fairness
tn Secretary Olney requires it to be as
Sumed that he is actuated wholly by
what he believes To be the best interests
of the United States and also by a con
AcicntOus desire to faithfully observe
our International obligations. The adj
miniStratiOn has shown from the begin
ming of the insurrcction firm detelmin-
alton TO maintain neutrality ana unques-
tionably II has done the very best In
its power TO prevent any breach of our
neutrality laws This has been approved
by the country, and equally deserving
of approval is the decision not TO press
Intervention upon Spain when IT is per
fectly certain that she would reject ana
probably resent any pToffer of that kind.
General Lee was sent to Cuba because
he was known by the president to have
those qualities essential to that difficult
and delicate position. There can be no
doubt there was II prefect understanding
before his departure as to the course
he was TO pursue. If he has kept in
that course it Is hardly probable that
he has met with any such treatment
from Washington as the dispatch al
leges Indeed, General Lee Is not the
sort OF man who would complacently
submit to treatment of that sort The

THE MEASURE OF 1T.
Bryan Puts the stamp Upon His
FnVOritc Dollar.
Cincinnati Commercial tribune.

Cincinnati Commercial Tribune.
This bit of Bryanian wisdom fell from the
lips of the Boy Orator on Monday:
"You bubble about what kind of material
your money is made Of | say to you that +
is far more important that a dollar shall re-
main unvaryng in its purchasing power
than that dollar should be made cut Of
any particular sort of metal Cheersl
He wants a dollar "unvarying in It's
purchasing power
A few years ago it took SIS to buy one
sewing machine. Today you can get then
for SO. Mr.. Bryan says the price should
still be $75.
few years ago, to wit, in 1872, cut nails
were $5.46. Last year the average price
was Sl.A7. Mr. Bryan says the dollar should
have bought no more in 1895 than in 1872.
He says that you should pay just as much
for your bicycles this year as last
If the dollar must remain unvarying II
its purchasing power you should still be
paying 592 cents per pound for Java coffee,
as you were paying in 1882, and not 2660
cents, as you were paying in 1885, and also
you should be paying $3.50 cents a pound
for hard granulated sugar, as you paid In
1880, instead of i.l2 cents pound, as you
paid in 1895.
The Bryan correlation of unvarying pur-
chasing, power is unyarying prices. Manu-
facturers, railroads, steamship companies
would like that. So would farmers, unless
you happened to strike a year like 1912,
whon pork was down 10 S5.Zi a DarTel IN
New York. or corn down to 25 cents, as IL
was in 1S6l-62; or cotton to 7.55 cents, as it
was in 1S49.
No two years in succession do any price
lists to which we have access show that
the dollar Mr.. Bryan describes eXisted-one
with an unvarying purchasing power. Some
times 1t bought more, and sometimes less.
on the whole. 1t has been buying more
as the years have gone on, and-as inycn-
tion and science and capital have multi
1i1 90 Il
labor. 1t has been getting less of that.
And every man who tolls by the day. week.
month or year is surrounded by such COM
forts as no former generation ever en-
joyed. Fortunate indeed are they that Mr.
Bryans definition of dollar, one that
shall remain OF unyarying purchasing
power" is not the definition OF the world
If such a dollar could possibly exist. what
inConcCivable wealth would have come to
those who have In the last thirty years
reyolutUnized the commerce of the world.
