In all the theaters of San Francisco,
in the concert halls and the vaudeville
entertainments, women remove their
hats. This is due to the notice on all
programme sheets, and in many cases
on posted bills, that it is against the
lie amusement. The law referred to
is a city ordinance To this date no
one has resisted it. There is general
compliance with it, and the result is
that the comfort of spectators in such
places is greatly enhanced. In Sacra-
mento a few fine-spirited women, who
have regard for the rights Of others,
remove their hats in the theaters, but
the most of our women fail to do so.
What is needed here is an ordinance
similar to that of San Francisco. When
such an order was proposed here three
years ago it was laughed to scorn and
it's movers were guyed and made the
butts of all manner of fun because
of their temerity. Now, we take it,
no one would dare to reprove another
for proposing such a just regulation.
The managers of both the Sacramento
theaters say that if the ordinance Is
passed they will enforce it. Both are
desirous that such law should be
enacted. All self-respecting and gen
teeI women desire it passed. Every
man who attends theaters wishes it
passed. Our Trustees, therefore, should
be so far plant to public demand as
TO pass the desired order that the
rule now in force in most of the cities
of the Union may become the law here.

The most prevailing Affections that
for a century have been engaging the
most scientific skill Of the medical
world are rheumatism, neuralgia, ca

dred ailments. The country is full OF
sufferers from these complaints. AL
though the most learned experts of the
medical profession have labored for a
century to produce a curative, until
quite recently no positive results were
effected. To the Swanson Rheumatic
Cure Co., 167-69 Dearborn street, Chi
cago. belongs the credit for having
produced the new remedy. 1t is being
extensively advertised under the
trade mark of Five Drops" The
trade mark is self-explantory. Five
drops make dose. The effect is mag

cures have been marketed with the
promise to take effect in thirty days
or more. Five Drops begins to cure

order to more effectively advertise its

From the Eight Hour Herald: Un-
questionably the life, character and
achievements of George M. Pullman
will be judged from two separate and
distinct points of view by the Ameri-
can people. That he was a man OF
wonderful ability as financier, an or
ganizer and successful business man,
we presume none will care to dispute.
It may be expected, in fact, that a
considerable number Of people are
ready to ascribe to Mr.. Pullman pre-
eminent qualities of intellect and
heart, and will desire. therefore, to
place him on pinnacle as prominent
as that occupied by any American, past
or present. The working classes, how
ever, will always couple Mr.. Pull
mans name with the great railway
strike of 1894, the most stupendous in
'dustrial upheaval the world had wit
messed I'D to that time. And the i'm
preston will always prevail that when
he refused to meet his employees, and
when he declined to submit the merits
of the dispute to arbitration, that he
then assumed an arbitrary and illogi-
cal position entirely at variance with
his great reputation. Mr.. Pullman took
an inordinate pride in the model town

We have read arguments good, bad
and Indifferent regarding the proposed
dangers to be expected from too
great use of the power of injunction
by the federal courts, but nothing quite
so pointed and direct as the follow
ing, taken from an article contributed
by John H. Marble to the San Fran
cisco Star:
Government by injunction is usur-
patton. No extended argument is
needed to prove this. The people were
once the possessors of all political
power in the country and they ratified
the constitution of the United
States. The federal courts have
never been empowered either TO
amend or to violate that instrument.
They have done one or the other of
their own motion and without author
ity from the people, and these viola
lions or changes constitute usurpation.
The constitution provides that the
trial of all crimes, except in cases OF
impeachment, shall be by jury Work
ingmen are becoming accustomed to
going to Jail for contempt of court,
and always after trial by judge alone
and denial of the right of trial by
jury. The only possible escape from
the conclusion that the judges have
either amended or are violating the
constitution is to assume that con-
tempt of court is not crime. In that
case, we must say that the courts have
usurped the power to imprison citizens
who are guiltless of crime.
"A startling historical parallel is pre-
sented by a comparison of the federal
judges of the American republic with
the Tribunes of the ancient Roman re-
public. The Office of the Tribunes was
first established for the protection OF
the plebians from the mobiles. Their
power was, practically, a power of We
to of the acts of any other officer of
the republic. 1t was poorly defined
despotic, and imperfectly responsible
Being so, like all underlined, despotic
and irresponsible power, 1t grew until
it was the supreme power of the state
When Augustus Caesar sought to es-
tablish himself in imperial power with
out doing violence to any of the forms
of the republic he found the means
of doing so in the overgrown power OF
the Tribune. The Tribunate became
the emperorship.
"The landlords, trustlords and indus
trylords of America by their repeated
invocation of the overgrown power OF
the federal judges are pointing the way
to what, unless the people move hero
ically and decisively. will be the new
American emperorship."

The Coming Problem.

In an able article in the North Amer.
lean Review Rev. Josiah Strong, d. d.,
discourses most interestingly of "The
Problem of the Twentieth Century
City," Doctor Strong's discussion re-
lates mainly to the movement of rural
population to the cities, which has &C.
casioned so much alarm and protest
during recent years. Doctors Strong's
article is reviewed in Gunton's Maya
zine, which agrees with his conclusions
that the tendency of population will
be permanent, which is undoubtedly
true; and the part of wisdom for soci-
ologists and statesmen is not to bewail
the fact and demand revolution, but
to accept it naturally and endeavor to
adapt our institutions and industrial
policies to the new order of things.
In fact, no other tendency is posi-
BILE, unless progress is to cease, for as
Doctor Strong says, ut should be OBJ
served that the worlds demand for
food must necessarily be limited, and
that the food supply today is equal to
the demands Of the civilized world
today. This fact places a natural linn
it to the number of men who can sue
cessfully devote themselves to pro-
ducing the food supply; but there is no
such natural and necessary limit to
the worlds consumption in other di-
rections. In palaces and gardens, in
furniture and equipages, in dress and
ornaments, in painting and statuary,
the purse sets the limit of expenditure.
From all these it follows that, as popu-
lation and wealth increase, an ever
charging population of men must get
their living by means of mechanical
industries and the fine arts; or. In
other words, an ever-increasing pro-
portion Of population must live in
cities"
This Of course means that the prob
lem Of municipal government will be-
come increasingly serious, and high
er type of citizenship will be demand
ed. To supply this, Doctor Strong
urges more thorough education of the
young, and we would add that a more
thorough education Of statesmen and
leaders of public sentiment in sound. |
