The man was seen near the spot where

MIDWEEK COURSING.
rIatches That Are to be Run on
THANKSGIVING Day.

For Thanksgiving the Coursing Park
people have arranged one OF the best

the San Francisco leashmen have sent
up to do battle with local dogs.
John Grace. Jr, will be in the saddle,
and everybody who has seen him judge
says he Is almost as good as his father.
The peerless James Wren, California's
old slipper will handle the leash. The
ground could not be better, and the
prizes offered $50, $40. S22 80, 500 500
are certainly worth competing for.

10 o'clock. and the dogs will run in the
following order:

The practical politicians will not rest
in their endeaNors to undo civil service
reform, no matter where 1t is put into
force. New York some years ago intro
duced it into her State system and it has
worked well, too well for the bosses.
They have therefore concocted a scheme
with which to beat it, and bill Will
be introduced in the approaching Legis-
lature with nhat end in view. It pro-
poses to abolish the State Civil Service
Commission and substitute for it a
Board of Control composed of heads of
departments of State and of the munich
paity Of New York City. OF course
NO such board would enforce the law, ais
a ma ortty of the heads of departments
are still under the domination of the boss
and the push.

Next Monday will be the last day for
the payment OF county taxes without
the addition Of a 10 per cent penalty, as
they will ON that day become delinquent.
Notwithstanding this has been bet
ter business year than last, property
owners are much slower than usual in
paying their taxes. For a time their
thoughts We're too much engrossedswith
politics, but that excuse no longer ex-
lists, and 1t Is about time for them to
quit talking about the air-ship and walk

The fGct should be borne in mind that
after next Monday the penalty will be
added, and on that day people will be
standing In line waiting tor chance

An ex-convict named Murphy dis
played his contempt for the Folsom cal
aboose on Saturday night by walking
cut Of 1t after he had been locked there
in for the purpose Of being taken to
the County Jail.
Murphy was caught ON Saturday
while attempting to- smuggle opium to
his late comrades in the State Prison,
was convicted by the local Justice Of
the Peace and sentenced to six months
in the County Jail He was to have
been taken here yesterday, but when
the Constable went to get him he found
that Murphy had removed the door OF
the calaboose and decamped.
1t seems that during the night some
one had provided him with a monkey
wrench, and with that implement he
had taken off the nuts Of the bolts that
held the door together.

The ignorant, brutal and low-level
Polander of Pennsylvania who the
other day sold his wife for a silver
mounted briarwood pipe, Is type OF
the undesirable class Of immigrants
who slip in under present immigration
laws. So is the fellow who bought the
woman, though he had a wife already,
and one who refused to receive the new
purchase into her house. AT last ac-
counts the fellow was in Philadelphia
seeking market He did find one fell
w-countrymen willing to take the
goods, but the woman refused to be de-
livered to the new purchaser, whereup-

of the contract. It is such timber as
this that the law ought to exclude from

That was a fine spectacle ON election
day over in Denver if the stories of
correspondents are true concerning the
voting by women. The women of the
town" were voted in squads, and with
the distinct understanding that If they
did not vote right" they would be run
in for vagrancy. That was coercion OF
the brutal order. These poor creatures,
the street walkers the women OF the
dives and the wretches Of the tender
loin districts, were simply driven to the
polls and voted under duress as much
as if they had been in the clutches OF
officers with threat Of arrest directly
made in each case. It Is even told how
some of the heelers worked indirectly
with police officials, at least with a
seeming agreement and power to make
good coercive threats.

The wire nail trust has collapsed,
and instantly wire nails tumbled TO the
price at which they stood before the
trust raised them by more than two
thirds. That fact in itself Is argument
enough against such monstrosities as
trusts that are formed for gain inspired
by greed. There are possibly some
cases where struggling infant indus
tries require some combination for a.
struction, through each operator cut
ting the others throat. But the wire
nail trust ran prices SO high and was
so oppressive that 1t is really cause for
public rejoicing that it has collapsed.
