LABOR'S REAL FRIEND.
Oakland Enquirer: In the attempt to
compel the State to shut down the rock
crushing plant at Folsom, and thereby
take another long step toward leaving
the convicts in absolute idleness, the
San Francisco parties who got UP a
mass meeting on Saturday evening
represented that it was indorsed by the
workingmen, but a number of the San
Francisco workingmen, including Off
GERS of unions, disclaimed being re-
sponsible for the movement. We are
glad that woriingmen are beginning to
recognize that upon this subject OF
prison labor ther must be reason exer-
ciSed as we'll as in other things. Con-
Wet competition should be reduced to
as low limit as possible, but little
of 1T there must always be, unless the
ConVicts are to be supported in idle
ness. The assertion We sometimes hear
put forth by demagogues that labor is
a disgrace to the free man because
somewhere there is a convict who is
working, is the most arrant nonsense
ever uttered

Record Union says: Under a State
Constabulary system there would be no
less Of time in beginning pursuit, no
occasion for it, no cross purposes IN
following the offender, but little mis-
guidance by reason of unreliable de-
scriptions and accounts; no forgetful-
ness as to details; no following III
straight lines. On the contrary, avenues
of escape would be closed, county jul
risdictions would not become obsta-
cies; criminals would be surrounded
and trapped with large degree OF GER
tainty and justice would be more likely

THE UNIVERSITY AT SACRA-
MENTO.
Oakland Tribune: There is a good
asked for the support of the University
will be granted by the Legislature. The
opposition to the measure is not strong.
The institution was never so strong
with the people as now. 1t has an in
fiuentia4 body of alumni who speak
and work for it. Some of these men
are in the Legislature. They know
how to make friends. The University
asks for only enough revenue to meet
the growing demands for educational
facilities. 1t needs room. 1t cannot
shelter the students properly
The University is in close relation
with the people. 1t is their institution.
There is a constant demand for the
services of Professors outside of Berke-
ley. Two of these men have just re-
turned from the extreme southern part
of the State, having given four or five
weeks to the advancement of educa-
tional interests there Farmers are
holding district meetings in various
parts of the State. They make con-
slant drafts on the University for lee
lures on agriculture horticulture, dali
rying and all that pertains to the de-
partment of productive industry.
The University has added a greater
wealth to the agriculture of the State
than all it has drawn by way Of taxes
during its entire history. 1t is not,
therefore, a sacrifice to increase this
revenue up to the point that is now
asked. Enlarged facilities only give
greater opportunities for the inStitu-
ton to benft the public.
