"Ugliness in Fiction is discussed by
Ian Maclaren in a recent number of
Literature. He protests against books
which swear on every page and do the
other things on the page between and
then asks these pertinent questions;
"Why should the artist in life dhe
novelist) forsake the quest of the per-
feet and the beautiful, wrought out
often through poverty and agony, and
spend his skill on what is loathsome
and disgusting? Is he not also bound
to the service of the ideal, and is 1t not
his function to fling out before us that
model of high character and living
which we all have imagined, after
which we all strive, but which we can
rot express: or is it that the canon of
beauty which guides the sculptor and
the painter has no authority over the
novelist, and he alone of artists has
the liberty of deformity?"
The queries are equally pertinent to
some dramatists and their interpreters
on the stage.

STILL DRAGGING ALONG.
A Contradictory Witness in tho
Chinese Murder Case.

The most sensational occurrence in
the trial Of Ying Sing Toy and Chin
Cow Muey for murder yesterday in
Judge Harris court was the testimony
Of a Chinawoman, named Di Vow, who
keeps the house of i'll fame where Ying
Toy was arrested on the night of the
murder.
The day before she had sworn that
she did not see Ying Toy in her house
that night, but yesterday morning she
fatty contradicted her former teSti-
mony, and said that she saw him sew
eral times, as he came there early in
the evening, and she ate supper with
him about midnight.
Then the prosecution took it's turn
and asked her if she had been fright
ened into changing her testimony. but
she said she had not, and denied that
any Chinaman had conversed with her
about the case. She was severely
cross examined and returned to her or
iginal testimony, saying that she did
not see Ying Toy at all that night. Be-
ing turned over to the lawyers for
the defense again she denied what she
had just before stated and said she
did see Toy several times that night.
Then she told the prosecution that she
did not see him and afterwards again
told the defense she did. Finally both
sides gave it up as a bad job
Chin Due then swore that Chin Cow
Muey came to All Bing's place, where
he was, and went to sleep about the
middle of the evening, and remained
there till at least y o'clock, when wit
ness himself went to sleep. He admit
ted. however that Chin Cow might
have gone out the back way without
his knowing it.
Low Qui Hing testified that Lee Him,
the witness who swore he saw the mur-
der and identified the alleged murder
ers, was at the Chinese theater all the
evening and at the time the murder
was committed.
The case will go on again to-day.

Something over a year ago Ferdinand
Banholzer, a we'll l-known engrayer and
time citizen of this place, went to
Los Angeles to become an inmate of
the Veterans Home there.
A short time ago one of his friends
from this city, being in Los Angeles,
called to see him, and was astonished
when told that he had been dead near
ly year, but that as he had been un-
derstood to have no relatives, no notice
had been sent to this city. His friend
states that Banholzer had a sister liv-
ing in France, who wrote to him oc-
casionally, and that some one in Sac
ramento knew her address, but he does
not know whether or not it is some of
the Grand Army men here. Banholzer
left some few effects, which would be

TAXES AND MORALS

The estimates before the legislature
for the cost Of state government for the
next two years amount to nearly five
million dollars The items so far pre-
The two most marked reductions are in
the executive department and in the
state board of examiners. The reduc-
tions in the first case are probably po-
litical and partisan. 1t is as small as
the rest of the doings of this caucus
cursed band of petty politicians. In the
second case, the intention seems to be
to handicap and impede the work Of one
of our most effective safeguards against
extravaganza and dishonesty in the
state service.
The public business in California is
loaded with sinecures and supernume-
raries. We have the most costly per
capita state government in the United
States. The absolute cost is greater than
that Of states three and four times as
populous as California The entire bust
ness is a shame and a disgrace
Take. for instance, the case

ranting partisan, George Knight. He

however, was paid as salary. Mr.. Nc
Enerney is very chivalrous man. and
is reported to have made the fight more
to knock out the greedy Knight than
for anything else; at any rate. he has
turned the salary over thus far to the
widow of Mr.. Spencer. This Is but one
of many similar public salaries paid for
no service. 1t is as much a robbery Of
the taxpayer as anything that ever o.
Cured in the pillage of the public rev.
enues by feudal knights or kings.
The present Republican majority in
the legislature has as low and venal
standards as any legislature ever paid
for In California. The legislators are
paid for sixty days work One Of the
first things the present majority did
would not serve day or an hour after
their pay stopped The need of careful
legislation was nothing. Duty as citi-
zens representing their fellows was
nothing. Venality was supreme. The
pay of the legislature is strictly second
ary. It is not a compensation to any
man of capacity and character sufficient
to make the laws governing the COM
munity. A citizen owes his services to
his country and can be commanded to
give them A position in the legislature
is position of trust, and not place for
plumber 1t is no money grab bag.
That the legislature should take such
a view of its obligation to the people
as it did presaged the scandals into
which its low standards have precipi-
tated IT, The situation in Sacramento
is that the people find themselves DOM
mated by a combine of political lords
who go the capital surrounded by their
personal and partisan adherents. These
they pay for personal services out of
the public treasury. In numerous cases
before this legislature these personal
followers of our political banditti have
not even appeared in Sacramento in
person, but have drawn their salaries
and mileage by power of attorney.
The public service is safe for no man
while such low standards prevail. Good
government is Impossible while our pub
san or personal plunder.
What we need in public life Is more
morals and less money. The people have
office as private snap.
