AT THE THEATERS

ORPHEUM-It Is estimated that 20,-
900 people attended this place of arnuse-
ment last week. and judging from the
enormous audience present last night
this figure will be exceeded by the
crowds this week. The standing room
Sign waa swung to the breeze early in
the evening, and the Orpheum never con-
tanned a greater crowd within its four
walls than assembled there last night.
and certainly there has never been such
group of sensational attractions pre-
sented there in one bill. The perform
ance opened with the exceedingly clever
feats of legerdemain Of Bimbo and Tehi.
They were followed by Hugh Emmett
with his comic ventriloqual entertain
ment ana musical eccentricities. Billy
Van. the well known minstrel RAN next
made his bow, and fairly convulsed the
audience with his droll mannerisms and
irresistible humor. The Black Patti
took an instant hold of the music-loving
element in the audience by the mastery
manner in which she gave several diff
cult operate selections. but she cap
tivated the whole house when she sang
The Swanee River. She possesses
voice OF wonderful compass. sweetness
and power and her trills and roulades
exhibited marvellous technique. She was
enthusiastically encored.
Then came the peerless Papinta, the
queen Of grace and light-the nymph Of
the iridiscent rainbow-and theHudtsnce
again reveled in gorgeous ever-chang-
ing vision Of color. melting and chang
ing into the most superb combinations
that fairly dazzled the fancy and en-
thused the senses in wild ecstatic
dream Of picturesque delight. The cli
max was the portrayal Of an immense
lily fashioned of the whirling white
gossamer draperies and the audience
rose in their seats and cheered with the
fervor of enthusiasm. The clever COM
edians, the Stewart sisters, next pleas
antly engaged the attention Of the aud
ience with the sparkling repartee and
bright tuneful songs. The performance
closed with the wonderful counterfeit
presentment of nature as exemplified
by the vitascope, the surging sea, street

ton of first-class attractions has never

business needs careful overhauling and
conservative but firm and effective
modification.
The selection and duties Of Jurors de-
mand as much attention as any one
thing.
The second important shortcoming of
the system involves our present pro-
longed trials and persistently dragged
out delays In law and evidence. These
things put burden on the citizen called
to his duty and service sas a juror that
is entirely unnecessary The frequent
long trials, especially in the plainest
cases of great crimes, put the active
citizen to a severe sacrifice Of time and
energy.
A third trouble Is the difficulty and
delay Of getting q jury at all. Both Of
these last difficulties are attributed to
a reign of technioality growing out Of
appeals on law points in criminal cases.
1t would be we'll to learn where such
appeals in criminal cases have served
the ends of justice.

DO YOU INTEND TO VOTE?

Then register. The great register Of
the county has been cancelled. new
one is being made. Registration will
close August 5th. You cannot register
later, but you can change your voting
precinct after that date.
August 5th is near at hand,
and fifteen thousand votes are
unregistered. Every Democrat in every
precinct should give out this informa-
tion. In fact, every fair minded man
should aid in preventing the disfran-
chisement of large number of voters.
This will surely occur unless there is
hard work done to inform the voters
of the early closing of the registry lists.
This early closing has not before been
the case. and thus many may suppose
that they will have as much time to
register as they used to have under a
non-partisan system. Gird up your
loins, Democrats, and be ready to make
the good fight. Get on the great regis
ter at once.

to this arrangement believing that In

W. 6. PATrDRSON.
Chairman Reception Committee.
July II, 1896. :.
It is q matter for serious thought ana
consideration that at the present time,
the summer season being usually the
time when the demands on the Asso-
ciated Charities are lighter than during
any other period of the year. the amount
of distress in this city Is unusually
great The truth Of this statement may
be gauged when it Is stated mat the
demands being made on the Associated
Charities Is greater than during any
winter season since the organization was
formed. Were it not for the special
monthly subscribers, a halt would nave
to be called in the good work, ana as
things are II is with extreme olnlcuity
that all applicants for asslstance re-
ceive deserving attentions The saduese
feature, perhaps, of all is that distress
iust now exists to a very large extent
among a superior class to that from
which poverty generally selects its VIC
tins.
For these reasons the check forwarded
by Mr.. Patterson has been received In
the light almost. of a special providence,
and the cooperation Of all kindly dis
posed is desired.

.JURIES

An appeal to a jury is an appeal to
the body of the people. 1t is safeguard
against off1cialism, rut-bound routine,
technicality, influence or bias. Our jury
system undoubtedly has it's defects, but
its utility and necessity so far exceed
all defects that no patriotic citizen
should thin1 of any curtailment of its
sphere. Correction on conservative lines
Is what I'VE need.
The jury system was established as
bulwark Of popular liberty The Jury
has been the greatest safeguard against
usurpation and injustice our race has
had. It remains today an institution of
far greater value than most persons
realize.
Law cannot be made to cover every
condition that occurs in conflict or
crime. Here steps in the twelve good
men and true at the appeal of the citi-
zen or the community to do substantial
Justice. Juries undoubtedly do justice
where judge alone would not. In the
! jury the spirit of equity prevails and will
override defects of law. With the Judge
the exact letter of the law rules, and
often enough defeats justice There is
IlOt d IlclllUeE VI TIE DbICH OF par OIL
California but who knows of cases where
, the letter of the law has prevented JUS
tice being done. Law and court rules of
! procedure are. indeed. necessary, but
1t is apparent that there is an excess
of devotion to the letter of the law and
an exaggerated fnesse of legal proceed
ure whereby crime gets protection
which the innocent must suffer for.
Some of the defects of the jury sys-
tenn are:
First-Method of drawing the jury.
The personnel of both term trial, special
venire and grand juries are now prac-
tically in the control of two or three
irresponsible understrappers. Suggestion
Of names is constant and often goes by
political influence or by secret favor.
There are no proper guards as to the
names placed in the box nor of the fair
ness of the drawings of names. The
too frequent slack and slovenly methods
of naming and drawing Jurors and the
large part played in these matters by
minor officials could be in great meas
ure cured by the bench.
There are considerable numbers of
very familiar FACES on our juries. Year
after year and Jury after jury one sees
the same men In the box. In San Fran
cisco there are now what may fairly be
termed professional jurors. Los Ange-
les is in about the same shape. The
court house and justices quarters are
crowded with FOUNDERS, clerk FOUNDERS,
deputy FOUNDERS. jury FOUNDERS. Some
Of these people are standard FOUNDERS;

THE WOOL DUTY THREAT

Among the promises made by the Re
publican convention is one to restore the
high wool duty. With the restoration of
this duty will come an elevation of the
duties on wooden manufactures and the
latter with the substitutes for them, will
go up in price. Thus the most necessary
of clothing will be made harder to get.
Are the masses of the people in favor
of that sort of thing. even II it resulted
in benefit to few fiockmasters? But as
a matter of fact the wool growers are
not benefited by duties on wool high
enough to keep out the foreign article.
Under the Mckinley law, the wool duties
of which were the highest ever imposed.
and after nearly thirty years Of protec-
tion, wool touched the lowest notch. The
reason is simple. The demand for Amer
lean wool is lessened by the shutting out
of the foreign article for the latter is
needed to mix with the home product in
the manufacture of the most staple
variety of wooden manufactures: in other
words, the woods do not compete to any
extent, but cooperate. One of the re-
suits of the embargo on foreign woods
was the establishment of the disgusting
shoddy industry and the filling OF the
market with a lot Of stuff warranted fire.
quently to be all wool and yard wide"
but in reality composed of the product of
filthy rags of materials other and cheap
er than wool. Thus through the insidi-
Gus working of protection the people
have been deprived of the most healthful
and comfortable of clothing. Shoddy
goods have become so firmly enthroned
in the market and are SO deceptive to
the uninitiated that it will take q long
time to replace them to any substantial
extent with the genuine wool. Shutting
out foreign WOODS and giving to the man
ufaoturer another leverage on price will
not help in the displacement.
