THREE SHOPLIFTERS.
The Police to Be Employed in Running
Down Some Very Clever
Women Rogues.

Women Rogues.
For ten days past the police have been
looking for three shoplifters who, it APP
pears. have managed to get away with
several hundred dollars worth of goods.
Just how the scheme is worked is not
definitely explained, but that they have
worked successfully is admitted by the
parties mostly interested.
Nearly two weeks ago three women Wis
tied the store of Davis Bros. and managed
to walk away with several articles of con-
siderable value. They then turned their
attention to Hale Bros. and stole some
articles. Two or three times the trick
was turned, and then the proprietors
began to cast about Tor the guilty par
ties.
In the meantime other stores reported
similar losses, and the Retail Merchants
Association held an indignation meeting.
1t was determined 70 ask Chief Crowley to
appoint two special officers to visit the
various retail stores during each day, the
belief being that in this way the swind-
lers would eventually be brought to JUS
tice. The following gentlemen were
named as committee to lay the matter
before he Police Department: S. M. Levy,
J. II. Martin, Samuel Weller and Leon
Samuels
No special officers for the services re-
CURED have as yet been appointed by the
Police Department. In the meantime the
three mysterious women tinue to get
in their work. 1t is said that during the
last few days they have visited several
Kearny-street establishments, securing
plumber of no little value. They work
singly and in pairs, but never as trio.
Only once have they been seen together,
and that was at Hale Bros. So clever is
their work, however, that no one has as
yet been able to catch them in the act of
stealinn

FALL OF A NEWSPAPER.
Would Have Been More Creditable t.

Would Have Been More Creditable to
Plead Guilty.
(From the Marysvile Democrat.)
When we look back over the past few
years and call to mind the history of
some of the journals of this State and
consider the fact that few have died a
natural death, we congratulate mem-
and patriotic. standing ait the head of
California are intelligent. independent
and patriotic, stand ing at the head of
the class as American citizens. They
read the newspapers in a greater pro-
portion than can be found in any other
State, as shown by the number Of popu-
lation and average circulation of pub
licatfons.. And when they have read
of current events they are competent to
judge Of the correctness of matters af-
fecting them, as much so as the editor
who is employed to put the matter in
print. The manager of a newspaper
who believes that ne can deceive the
readers and continue to throw sand in
their eyes by resorting to caricature
| instead of argument will find he is in
/ error. Recent events in San Francisco
journalism have demonstrated the
truthfulness of these remarks, and the
lesson should teach others that it is far
more creditable to plead guilty in the
face of positive evidence than to be con-
vlcted by an intelligent jury. When Dr.
Brown was accused of giving money to
| woman to keep from being seduced.
and then tried to shield his reputation
by backing that Of one or more women
the people pronounced him guilty, the
result being the fall of the man with a
sickening thud. When the San Fran
cisco Examiner was accused Of talk
ing money from the Southern Pacific
Company, the transaction showing con-
clusively that 1t had been seduced, it re-
sorted to the same methods of defense
adopted by DR.. Brown. But the people
in this case, as in the case of the par
son, do not believe that the blasting of
the reputation of another proves the
innocence Of the accused. The course Of
the Examiner in it's dirt-throwing at
the balance of the membership who do
not shout when it shouts, instead of
meeting the issue squarely, has placed
the once powerful journal in the same
pew with the disgraced preacher and
now 1T holds forth to a divided congre-
cation. No other journal in California
has ever dropped out of prominence as
| quickly as the Examiner" and no per-
son is to blame except the manager,
| who, in his greed for gold, forgot that
| the profession Of journalism Is an hon
orable one.

AN EXPECTED SPEECH.

It is understood that the bill for fund
ing Of the debt of the transcontinental
Government-aided railroads will be re-
ported to Congress early this week. 1t
is announced also that when the debate
upon it opens among the speakers who
will advocate the adoption of the report
will be the Congressman from this dis
trict, Hon. Grove L. Johnson.
Mr.. Johnson Is member Of the COM
mittee of the House that has had the
bin under consideration. He has had
the best of opportunities, as such COM
mitteman, to thoroughly exploit the
whole matter. In common with the
other committeeman, he has heard all
the testimony given, the statements
made before the committee and all the
arguments for and against the funding
proposition. 1t is therefore reasona-
BILE to expect when Mr.. Johnson from
his place In the House speaks upon the
measure that his speech will be a per-
fectly clear exposure Of all the facts
and a complete justification of the bill.
We are perfectly safe also in predict
ing that the speech of Mr.. Johnson will
fully sustain hts reputation as an orator
and a parliamentary debater. The
speech will therefore be looked for with
especial interest, as 1t may be counted
upon as a perfectly lucid and an ex-
haustive treatment of the subject from
the standpoint of a legislator whose
duty it Is to do the very best he can for
the Government consistent, of course,
with the rights of all parties in inter
est, and the welfare and economies of
the people Of the State of California
