SALINAS BRIGHT PROSPECTS.

When the Salinas cores pOndent OF The
CALL remarked yesterday that Salinas,
the county seat of Monterey County, has
brighter prospects to-day than any town
of similar size in California" he bordered
very closely upon truth. Ordinarily,
sweeping assertions of that kind are m ade
under the fervid inspiration of home
pride, or by the sufferance of the tradi-
tionaI license which topographers have
long been permitted to enjoy as compen-
sation for the general duh sameness OF
their theme; but in this particular IN
stance, nathless it were mere happen-so,
the resort 10 wholesale praise has hit the
nail squarely upon the head.
The precise factor which gives a solid
foundation to our correspondents happy
hit is the Circumstance that Salinas has
been chosen as the location for the largest
and already the residents thereabouts are
thriving upon the anticipation of it.
The sugar beet industry is exceedingly
profitable. The producer trades directly
with the consumer, gets good prices for
his product and keeps the handling of lis
money within his own commercial circle.
None of the money which is pal d 10 him
for his beets comes out of his part OF the
country. 1t comes from the sales of the
sugar, mostly in the East or in other parts
of the State as does also the money which
is paid to the factory workmen and wood
haulers of his immediate vicinity. Moth
ing could be more financially beneficial
than this arrangement of always bringing
in and never taking out
No wonder that Salinas prospects are
bright. She foresees in Watsonville, her
near neighbor, a state OF affiuence TO which
she herself is bound TO attain, through the
same experiences and by virtue of the
same advantages

Rottanzi's Order Said TO
Be in Derogation of
Civil Liberty.
The Police May Suppress the
Three.Story Bonnets if They
So Desire.
DR.. C inton Cham pions the M asure
and Claims That Ladies Have No
Right to Wear Them.

Supervisor Rottanzi's theater-hat or
dinance is in a fair way to follow in the
footsteps of many another we'll meant
measure, for City and County Attorney
CresweIl has put the official stampof his
disapproval ON it, and pronounced il sin
derogatIon of civil liberty"
He says that the police may Danish the
three storyand "a basement hat from local
play houses, but what gallant guardian OF
the peace would interfere with lady's
headgear, even if it was az tall as the
Tower of Babel?
Attorney Creswell sent the following
communication TO the Board of SuperTis-
ors yesterday in response to an inquiry a.
to the legality OF the proposed ordinance:
To the honorable the Board Of SuperVisors OF
the City and County Of San FTGReEse0: have
examined into the power of the Board of Su-
pervisors to pass an ordinance regulating the
character of head adornneut 10 be worn by
ladies when in attendance upon The theafers or
other places of publ. c amusement. and IN con-
formity to the wish Of the Judiciary Commit
tee OF the board herewith transmit ny opin-
ion on the same:
If this right exists at all il must be found in
the police power Of the government wherein
it may preserve and promote the public well
fare, eI en- al the expense OF private rights"
II 1t is intended BY the proposed ordinance
theater and other places of public amusement
the board has no power 70 pass and enforce
the ordinance. The police power does not con-
fer upon governmental agencies the right TO
legis ate Tor the convenience alone of the pub
lie. The proposed ordinance IN my opinion Is
sum ptuary in lis nature and in derogation OF
civil liberty. HAgBY T. CRRsEELL,
Attorney and Counselor.
Supervisor RottanZi found an une1-
pected cham pion for his measure in DR..
Clinton when the matter came up betors
the board yesterday afternoon. DIR. Rot
tanzi was wroth that the legal adviser of
the municipality had decided against him,
and instead OF moving for a reconsidera-
ton of the matter as he had promised TO
do at the meeting when his order was
knocked into cooked bat. he asked for
a weeks further time. He will consult
eminent legal lights TO get opinions to
Offset that of Mr.. Creswell.
DR.. Clinton said, while the discussion
was going on. that he thought DR.. Rot
tanzIs measure eminently proper; that
ladies had no right to obstruct the view of
male patrons OF the theaters by wearing
-seraping bonnets. and that when the
ordinance came up for final consideration
he would vote in favor of it.

AROUND THE CORRIDORS.

Chief Justice I. n. Sullivan of Idaho was
among the arrivals at the Lick yesterday.
The Chief Justice halls from the Wood River
country, and went into Office when Idaho be-
came State. He is about SO years of age
and settled at the town OF HALEY in 1882. The
Judge has come to California on a vacation,
and will remain about ten days.
II suppose Idaho is about as well off as any
OF the States," said he. LEAD and silver are
pretty low. but cattle and sheep are high, and
wheat brings pretty fair price. Over in the
Wood River country, from which come, it Is
pretty quiet, because it is silver-mining there,
and there is almost no money in silver now.

ENDS AND ODDS.

In Boston 1t is proposed to hold song serv-
ices IN the city prison for the cheer of the
criminally inclined. Doubtless the worthy
Puritans have suffered their inherent philan-
thropy to obscure the modern assumption
that people are put into prisons because they
do not deserve the blessings of free society.
1t took two wagon-loads of police to see that
the Gus tomary disorder at the Democratic city
convention in St Louis last week did not
break forth into a free-for-all fight. Clubs
were frequently called into service upon the
heads of the more fervidly Democratic, and
the :icket of nominations was punctuated by
several small rough-and-tumble combats.
Finally completed, however. the ticket was
held triumphantly aloft and pointed out as
the Representative ticket of good govern
ment!'
The Rochester Democrat and Chronicle says:
1.-THE brethren OF Ian Maclaren have been read
ing his books with theological spectacles, and
have found what they were looking for-indi-
cations of heretical beliefs. Accordingly he
will be summoned before the English Presby-
terian Synod next month to answer" The
charm of mere luxurious irrelevance will be
difused over this solemn and tif-necked pro-
ceeding by the circumstance that Author Mac
laren's book-characters' heresies are none of
the synod's business
The advertisement here following was re-
Gently inserted in a London newspaper:
applications are required for the position
of official hangman to a British colony. Salary
f250 per annum. with expenses. Passage paid
out. Address, stating qualifications, past en-
ployment and full particulars, to r. 71S, care
of Deacon's Adver tising Offices, Leadenhall
street."
More than 200 responses to this were re-
ceived, indicating that there were more than
200 reasons not originally counted on by the
authorities for the appointment Of public
hangman. 1t is now comfortably expected
that the one who is chosen from this excellent
outfit will live to attain the happiness of hang
ing all the rest, and eventually get himself
well hanged by his succeseor.
