DWyER TALKED TOO MUCH.
Loses His Position and Gets Into
Jail.

John Dryer, 81 years old, Of No. 657 Sum
NIT avenue, WAS up to a short time ago en-
ployed by the Consolidated Traction Com
pany in the capacity Of conductor. His
freedom Of speech, however caused his
downfall and he was discharged by that
company for insulting a lady passenger.
Yesterday he thought of an old friend and
started out to see him. The friend was
John Clark. 40 years old, of No. 434 Mon
mouth street, who is employed in the wagon
shop of f.. Percy at the corner of Monticello
ana Paramount avenues as a painter. The
men began talking politics and were soon en-
gagged in a fight. A policeman happened
along and they were gathered in and locked
up on the charge of disorderIy conduct.

HAe Cases of tsse Protested Athletes
disposed of.
The threatened suspension of athletes
who were charged with having violated
rules of the Amateur Athletic Union by
competition in closed events, while rep
resenting one club and having a mem
bership in another, was not realized last
evening at the special meeting of the
Metropolitan Association at the Astor
House The meeting was of unusual in
terest as several of the most prominent
athletes in his vicinity were held to be
guilty by those whose interests would
be advanced by the suspension of those
whose cases were brought before the
meeting. OF this number five were resi-
dents of this county, consequently there
was a feeling of uneasiness in the local
organizations. The men that were tried
were:-Jerome Buck. Knickerbocker a.
G., who was deemed guilty of violating
the rules by having run under the colors
of the Catholic Club at the Diocesan
Union games at Newark, August 8; VIII
Buster and VIII Whyte,s Company 3,
Fourth Regiment, charged by Company
A athletes with having represented other
clubs in contests; c.. H. Bean and c..
~ SoAi 1ACDEVAIs
Pastime A. G., and Reuss of the Knicker-
bockers. All were tried under the same
rule and after a very interesting session
the. A. A. u. decided that as this was
the first attempt made to enforce the
rule prohibiting any athlete from repre-
Senting more han one organization that
the men summoned before them be let
on with a warning that any future 'vio-
lation would result in their suspension.
Heretofore ii has been possible for ath-
ietes to compete as often as they de-
sired under the name of separate or
ganizations. but the Metropolitan Asso-
ciation adopted a rule last night which
will prohibit this in future.

THE RIVER APPROPRIATION.
Stockton Mail: The main point that
concerns the people just now, however,
is the injustice of making them pay
for works intended to promote private
interests. Hydraulic mining, even un-
der the most favorable circumstances,
can be pursued only at the expense OF
agriculture, and the burden Of building
and maintaining works designed to
protect the farmer from damage should
be borne by the miner. This is the at
titude of the "anti-debris' people, and
it has always impressed us as being the
correct one. Hydraulic mining is only
tolerated, anyhow; it Is favored solely
by the few that are engaged in it.
FITS SACRAMENTO.
Stockton Record: The people of Stock
ton are offered a golden opportunity to
obtain cheap rock from the Folsom
quarry at just the time the streets
should be improved, and just when all
other material and labor are at the
cheapest point. The present city ad-
ministration will accept macadam
streets and manifests a commendable
interest and pride in, having the work
performed. The administration is in
favor Of progress, and to that extent at
least the Record is fully in accord
with it.

Caricature by coarse illustrations in
the daily press has now become entirely
grossness and the silly purposes to
which 1t has been debased. Really, it is
helpful to anyone nowadays to be ridi-
culed in the sensational and morbid
press. Time was when caricature was
wit in illustration. humor in sketch and
truth with the point sharpened. But
the attempt of every sensational sheet
effort of all manner of dabsters to be
wits. has made modern caricature en-

WEYLER
San Jose Herald: Unless there is a
regular outrage mill running in Cuba
General Weyler is vindicating his right
to the nickname of Butcher" and Is
also making public opinion among the
people of the United States and their
representatives at Washington in favor
of some action on our part to put an
end to Spanish power in Cuba
1T PAYS.
Marysville Democrat: Young men
starting out in life should always bear
in mind that it pays to be honest. Take
President Lincoln as an example. While
a young man he purchased grocery
store in a small town in Illinois, and
one day, in making change with a
customer he made a mistake Of 1O
cents in his favor and walked six miles
that evening to pay back the amount.
In purchasing the store he contracted
debts that took him fifteen years to
pay off, but he paid every dollar, not
withstanding the fact that several Of
fered him liberal discounts. You may
gain temporarily by dishonest methods,
but there is bound to be day of reck
oning. Above all things be honest; it
pays in the long run.
WHAT THE SOUTHERN PACIFIC
OWNS AT SANTA MONICA.
Los Angeles Express: The statement
of the Times" that 1.-The Southern Pa
cific monopoly controls the entire water
front at Santa Monica" is character
istic of the carelessness with which our
er-esteemed contemporary handles
facts Equally untrue is the statement
that this paper has carefully suppressed
that fact. The Express has not sup
pressed that fact, first because there is
no such fact to suppress. On the con-
trary in the issue of this paper for last
Wednesday both Messrs. E. J. Vawter
and Robert Jones are quoted on this
very subject. Mr. vawter said:
why, the Southern Pacific owns
more property at San Pedro than here.
It's entire holdings here are 249 acres
north and west of the canyon, except
its right Of way, and some fifty acres
where the Arcadia Hotel and bicycle
track are located. The idea that all
the water front is owned by the South
ern Pacific Is entirely wrong. Senator
Jones and Mrs. Baker own far more
than the railroad. Then again, Mr..
Huntington has always expressed a
perfect willingness to allow any other
road to use the long wharf by paying
a share Of the expenses Of managing it.
Besides If the breakwater, were built
there would be no difficulty in any other
railroad getting frontage enough to
build all the wharves they wanted.
Mr.. Huntington will build another track

Thus far our fears for the American
athletes at the Olympian games have
proved grpundless. The American
teams won so many victories in the first
day that really we have a great deal to
be proud of. Garrett won in the throw
OF the discus. That he defeated a man
with such name as Paraskevpoulos
adds additional glory to his victory
Lane, Curtis and Burke won the 100
meter race, and Johnson captured the
40O-meter running match. The Amer
leans therefore have sustained the ma
tional athletic name well and given us
cause to be proud.

In his recent speech upon the Monroe
doctrine, ex-Minister Phelps said that
against the opinion Of the world" Hold
fast, Mr.. Phelps, at that point. The
thirteen American colonies did set them
selves up against the opinion Of the
world, practically. There was but one
nation on the globe that approved their
action, and that was more because OF
enmityt to Great Britain than out of SYM
pathy for the Americans. Oh, yes, a
nation convinced that it is right can af-
ford to, and ought to. if need be, set up
against the opinion of the whole world,
and even be whipped into the bargain
for the cause of justice.

give US street surfaces good for several
years. or until the people are fully able
to make just such streets as they de-
sire.
This local matter Is of serious import
ance and deserves the instant attention
of all who feel an interest in the welfare
of the city, and especially should have
the consideration Of taxpayers who foot
the bills. They should protest yigor-,
ously if%they do nothing else against
to fill the interspaces between the pro-
truding rocks. Except it were puddled
and tamped in it would be waste Of
time and money, and even then without
shattering or removing the rocks it
would prove but miserable makeshift.
The Record Union" suggests that to
determine just what should be done, to
prove whether there is virtue and truth
in the assertion here made, the Trus-
tees or the Superintendent of Streets
treat one street block as suggested in
the first plan, doing the work thor
oughly and well, and then note the re-
suit. 1t will not cost to exceed $50 to
treat the block. Indeed one engineer
goes so far as to say that it can be done
for half that sum, though we doubt it.
We suggest that Sixteenth street, from
] to K, be selected for the experiment,
or Fifteenth, from j to I, as they are
central, near a prominent public build
ing, on line of street railway, and thus
the larger number of citizens can OBJ
serve the treatment and its results.
If the plan works, as is believed, the
insignificant sum of three cents a front
foot will put the streets complained of
in good condition, and we do not be-
lieve that there is property-owner
who will not gladly voluntarily pay
the small sum Of 81 40 per eighty-foot
lot to have the work done. If the ex-
pertinent proves successful we have
faith in the public spirit Of the prop
erty-owners that they will have the
work done, though not bound to do so,
since the city has accepted the streets.
But there is no sufficient city fund at
present with which to carry out this i'm
portant improvement.

The City Trustees have at last or
dered the purchase of a street-roller.
Had this been done five years ago city
property-owners would have been in
pocket many thousands Of dollars. But
there is to be bought only fifteen-ton
roller. Now if the Trustees will exam
inc a little more into the subject, they
will find that it will be more economic
and cost very little more to buy roller
so constructed that it may be loaded by
means of a water tank to twenty tons
weight when needed, or reduced to
twelve tons, as may be necessary. Fif-
teen tons is fair weight, but there will
be many cases when it will be for the
interest of the taxpayers to have twenty,
even thirty, tons weight applied. Such
a roller as may be quickly adapted SO
as to give varying pressure is what is
needed, and is considered the best and
most economic

MINIATURES, May 7.-Crowds of

be made to start cars on all lines. One
hundred special policemen will guard

Serious Disturbance Occurs.
The most serious disturbance since
the strike was inaugurated occurred
during the evening, when a mob of
5000 men and boys attacked three Far
well avenue cars near the East Side
barns. 1t was the first attempt to run
cars at night. and each motor was
crowded with policemen. Thu mob
lined either side of the track, and as
the cars appeared, hundreds of bricks
and stones were thrown by the mob.
Every window in the three cars was
smashed, and many policemen were
struck by the missiles. The patrolmen
formed in a squad and repeatedly
charged the rioters. Several arrests
were made. The police then visited
all saloons in the vicinity of the car
barns, forcibly elected the throngs of
men in them and ordered them closed.
