ONE CENT.
J. Hallinan Paid It for Thrashing
an Insulting Mongol.

George McCarty, Charles Dangler and
j. Hallinan, the young men recently
arrested on a charge Of battery pre-
ferred by All Young, We're arraigned
in the Police Court yesterday morning.
The evidence showed that McCarty
and Dangler had not been near the
Chinaman, and Hallinan admitted on
the stand that he had struck All Young
because he applied a vile epithet to
him, and made a disparaging remark
about his sister.
Justice Davis discharged McCarty
and Dangler, but said Hallinan was
technically guilty Of battery, though
any man in the city would have done as
he did
II suggest" said City Attorney
Brown, that his fine be fixed at l
cent"
Well continued the Justice, 'if the
defendant happens to have penny
about him he may turn it over to en-
rich the city treasury, but if he
hasn't
But young Hallinan did have the cent,
and it was accordingly paid over-the
smallest fine ever imposed in Sacra-
mento's Police Court.

The circular issued by Superintendent
of Schools Howard to the School Trus-

the putting up of windmills and plant
ing of trees and shrubbery around the
schoolhouses in order to make the
premises attractive to the pupils.
Excelsior District has just put up a
windmill and tank, inclosing the latter
and forming in the lower part of the

eat lunch, and which is furnished with
basins, soap and towels.
Center District has also put up a
windmill, tank and tower, and mills

That North Dakota woman who has
sued her county for $4,000 damages
for the hanging of her husband by a
lynching party which took him from
the officers of the law, has, possibly,
struck the keynote of a reform. In
most Of the cases where lynching par
ties perform their lawless office, the
officers of the law either only formally
resist, or yield without effort. The
making of the county liable in smart
money for its neglect or inability to
protect its citizens as it is bound to
do, is short cut to the most sensitive
nerve Of the taxpayer, the pocket. If
this Dakota woman's contention is
maintained, and it would seem to be
not q matter Of great difficulty to sus-
tain it. the people will awaken to a
realization of an assault upon them IN
a dire direction that may, probably will.
result in lynchers being stood off, or
captured and punished 1t is to be
hoped that the North Dakota woman
will win her suit. Her husband may
have been a grand rascal, but she was
unlawfully deprived of him, and be-
cause of the inability of her county TO
afford him and her the protection guar
anteed by the law, she should win her
day in court.

pie of the United States will readjust
their revenue measures with a view 10
excepting Canadian trade from their
operation. Whether it is wise ana
economic to do as we are doing or not,
is not SO much the question now as
what we are likely to do. We do not
believe that any back-stepping will be
proposed by the present Congress,
Wherefore the whole matter may be laid
on the shelf for year If the people
in the next elections reverse the gov
ernmental policy, and return to sys-
tenn that will relieve Canada from dis
elimination, and break down the pro-
lection barrier now erected, it will still
| remain as Sir Laurier has said, that
capital will fear to invest where it will
be affected by such political instability.
That would leave then, only treaty
convention as a means of effecting
closer commercial union. But all that
is quite too far in the future to be seri-
ously considered now. So long as the
do not think the Canadians need look
forward to any material change in the
commercial relations between the two
countries
SO far as a reciprocity agreement
such as suggested by Sir Laurier is
concerned, We are much inclined to be-
lieve that it would operate to permit
Canada to undersell many other coun-
tries in our market" as the Ore
gonian' puts it. THE grant of the con-
cessions Canada wants for closer com
mercial union would give her practical
ly a preference in our markets over
other peoples without any compensating
preference to us in return
Great Britain ard thirty other coun-
tries have reciprocity agreements with
Canada now If the scheme of COM
mercial union suggested by Laurier as
an addendum to the settlement of the
sealing difficulty should be adopted,
Canada would become the medium and
handler for the biggest kind of trade,
which we can just as well reach and
handle ourselves free from any inter-
vention.
In short, a contemporary puts the
Canadians smiling and APPARENTLY
amiable plea for reciprocal arrange
ments between the two countries into
a concise sentence, when it says that
lar-
the oyster and the United States the
shell. There can be no reciprocity, un-
restricted or partial, between us and
Canada this side Of annexation, be-
cause, with her British preference, reci-
procity is phantom

The San Francisco press applauds a
prisoner cell comforts provided by his
wife and sons, such as extra bedding,
toilet articles, books and some chamber
conveniences, such as a man of cleanly
habit is accustomed to. The prisoner
may be guilty as charged, but at pres
ent in the eye of the law and of civ
ilfZation he is innocent He is charged
with but not convicted Of crime. Un
til he is declared a criminal why should
he not be allowed any reasonable COM
forts he can command, not inconsistent
with his safe keeping and the reason
able regulations of the prison? A per-
fectly innocent man is liable TO be held
in custody by the law, and for perhaps
an offense that is not bailable. But
until the citizen is convicted is it
right policy TO treat him as a convict?
In the case in point it seems that 9TH
er prisoners in the jafI protested against
this man having any comforts in his
cell with which they are not provided.
But how could they be injured or their
rights or privileges be infringed, by
reason Of the thoughtfulness and love
of the family of the man so fortunate
as to have loves and friends? The
growing disposition to regard every
man charged with crime as a guilty
person is assuming a dangerous form.
1t is warping the public judgment and
rendering the doing of injustice likely,
or rather it is obstructing the path of
justice and the discovery of the truth.
Men charged with crime, however in
nocent, must be detained or held in
bonds to answer; but we protest that
they are entitled to be treated in con-
finement as innocent until they are le
gally declared to be guilty. and their
liberties and lives forfeited to the State
