SAYS SUTER is IN ERROR
Street Superintendent Denies the
Sewerage System Is Depend
ent on Oakland Harhor.
Chairman Forderer Wants the Tax
Levy to Be $I-This Will Require
the Pruning Knife.

ALAMEDA, CAL, Aug. 21.-Street
Superintendent Frodden says that Colonel
Suter is in error when he says the sewage
from Alameda contaminates the tidal
canal, and that it is dependent on the
tidal canal and the Oakland harbor.
s'The sewage of Alameda" he said,
sdoes not approach the canal within a
mile, and the system is not at all depend
ent on the harbor of Oakland. 1t is only
a question of diverting the outlet of two
sewers in this city and to carry them to
the channel south of the city, or beyond
the marsh at the West End into deep
water.
''The system of the city is in no way de-
pendent on the harbor of Oakland, nor
does the sewage contaminate the water In
the canal. The tanneries in East Oakland
are the cause of the stencil on both sides
of the Park-street bridge, as have always
maintained. There is no way OF flushing
the harbor or the canal save by cutting
the canal through to San Leandro Bay, as
originally devised. Z"
The Next Tax Levy.
ALAMEDA, CAL, Aug. 21.-A good deal
of SPECULATION is being INDUCED in by in
terested parties as to what the next levy
will be fixed at by the City Trustees. All
the members are anxious to keep 1t as low
as possible, but they are met with con-
siderable reduction of nearly a million
dollars in the assessment, and the fact that
municipal bonds amounting to over $4,000
have to De paid off this year. The present
outlook is for the levy to be fixed at ST TO-.
Chairman Forderer holds, however. that
the tax should not be over 81 and is work
ing toward that end.
If the 81 limit be determined on the
pruning knife will be applied to all de-
partments in the city government with q
possible shrinkage in salaries as q conse-
quence.

WAR AGAINST
THE NEWSBOY.
Not to Get On or Off Street
cars While They Are
in Motion.
TRADE CHANNEL CLOSED
Market-Street Railway Company
Has Issued Thousands
of Copies.
THEY BITTERLY COMPLAIN
Youthful Bre ad.Makers Assert That
the New Law Has Diminished
Their Receipts.
THEY BITTERLY COMPLAIN

The useful newsboy, the youngster who
sells his papers on the street and who is
often the only support of infirm or aged
parents, is again the victim of adverse leg
islation.
This time 1t is the Board of Supervisors
which, presumably at the instance OF the
Market-street Railway Company, recently
passed an ordinance prohibiting boys from
getting on or off streetcars while in mo-
tion. That great corporation has evil
IDENTIFY determined to crush the young
bread makers who took such prominent
part in the transfer war.
II would not be quite as severe on the
newsboys if they were only prohibited
from getting on the car while it was in
motion, but many of them complain that
the conductors, on the strength of this
ordinance, even refuse to give them an
opportunity to enter the car when it is at
a standstill.
In consequence one of th channels of
newsboys' trade is completely closed.
Their income is reduced, and meager as it
was prior to the passage of the ordinance,
it is now considerably less.
The ordinance which is causing the
com plant among the news-sellers is as
follows:
MARKET-SREET RAILWAY COMPANY.
Notice is hereby given that Order No. 1894
of the Board of Supervisors of San Francisco
makes it unlawful for boys to get or off
streetcars while in motion.
Any boy violating said order is liable to
arrest, fine and imprisonment. ::
The Market-street Railway Company
has issued thousands of copies of the or
dinance, printed on small slips of card
board, to the streetcar conductors. In
turn the conductors distribute them to
the newsboys. A boy with bundle of
papers will swing Oh passing car for the
purpose OF gathering in, if possible, a
stray nickel. Before he has time to thor
oughly brace himself on the car, however,
he is handed copy of the ordinance.
The car is either stopped to allow him
to get off or ne swings off while it is in
motion. He therefore loses in all proba-
bility a n. excl or SO, and in addition
plainly violates one of the clauses in the
ordinance. He has jumped from a car, as
he has been used to do for years, and is a
transgressor of the law liable to fine and
imprisonment.
A prison is miserable place in the
newsboy's mind, and in case OF arrest but
few can pay fine, and consequently the
cell is the only alternative.
The youngsters are very bitter against
the new ordinance, or at least against its
new phase, which results in his having a
printed card placed in his hand instead of
a nickel in exchange for mis- paper. But
they are powerless to prevent it; they are
all poor and young and incapable of COM
batting the millions of railroad corpora-
ton.

The Gold Standard.

The fact cannot be too often repeated,
says the Globe Democrat, that the dec.
laration Of the Republican party in favor
of the gold standard simply means the
maintenance of thing that already
exists. 1t is the free silver people who
propose to make change and establish
a new standard. They are against the
present currency system, and anxious TO
substitute for it one under which a diff.
ferent kind of IN oney would be used for
the payment of debts and wages and the
transaction of the country's business.
The Republicans believe in keeping
things as they are in that respect. That
is to say, they hold that we now have
sound and satisfactory money, and that
it would be foolish and disastrous to
throw away the advantage. 1t is not
proposed to eliminate silver from the
currency and prevent its use for com.
.uercia| purposes, but only to so limit
the amount of it that it can circulate
freely at par with gold Any intelligent
voter can readily comprehend the dis.
tinction and the reason for making it.
We have absorbed ss much silver as we
can carry with safety, and the Republi
cans are opposed to an increase OF it that
would inevitably unsettle values, depre.
ciate the currency, and force us to an in.
ferior standard.
1t is not true, as the free silver orators
practically assert, that the Republican
party is seeking to make gold the only
form of money in the country. On the
contrary, it merely insists that other
forms of money shall be kept as good as
gold. There should be no objection to
that from any man who has the pros.
perity and welfare of the country at
heart. There cannot be two standards
OF value at the same time, and the Re.
publicans contend that the one which
now exists, and which is known to be
safe, should not be exchanged for one
that would be unsafe, and in every way
mischevious. The silver element now
in the currency is freely accepted be.
cause it is on a parity with gold, and
the Republicans wish to continue it in
service on that basis but they are
against the free and unlimited coinage
of it because that would destroy the
parity and flood the country with de.
preciated circulation. 1t is not ques
tion of dispensing with the use OF silver,
but of adapting the volume of it to the
conditions which govern its value. The
limit of safety in the coming OF such
money has been reached, and the Re
publican party says that We should have
no more of it when the result would
certainly be stupendous misfortune.
That is what is meant, and all that is
meant, by the maintenance of the gold
standard.
