 UNKIND CRITICISM
Grocer KirchOff Says the Ex- aniner Building Gives Him
 Sore Eyes.
The Guardian of the Peculiar Struc- ture Arrests Him for His
 FrankncSS.

Ordinarily B. Krchhoff is a grocer in the Mission. but Tuesday night he was a grocer in jail. How he happened to get there is a tale sure to excite sympathy.
 MT. Kirchhoff was standing at the corner of Third and Market streets and his eyes fell upon the dueer-looking structure there known as The Examiner building. This fact pained them, and the Kirchhoff voice rose in protest against the architectural misfit. That build ing" he remarked frankly, makes me weary" The tone he employed was not a whisper. It came to the ears of a special policeman named Kelly, whose duty is to protect the structure from damage, and incidentally from adverse comment. Kelly cautioned the grocer to be more moderate and the grocer re- peated that sight of the Examiner gathered him in. No aspersions shall be hurled at the Examiner building, not if Kelly knows it. The principle is wrong. and besides, well directed aspersion
 It befell that the case o f Kirchhoff was called before Judge Campbell This Judge is recognized as the modern Solo, mon. He stroked his beard in contempla- the prisoner to go. .,."I have. seen that building myself" said the wise man of the woolsack '.The only way to be near it and escape getting sore eyes is to be blind''
 However, this did not satisfy Kelly, who asked that the matter go over and it went over to Friday, MT. Kirchhof being allowed to roam on his own recog- nizance until that time. So the matter stands. If Kelly can convince the court that to be offended by the Examiner building Is an offense against the law there are many citizens who will cheer fully chip in to pay the fine and be grateful that they elude the expansive and alert ear of Kelly.

Rainfall for Remaining Months of the Season May Replen-
 ish Spring Valley Supply.
No Good Reason Advanced for an Increase Of Water RateS-Burden Now Sus=
 tained by Consumers.

The rainfall of the season to date. according to the measurement of the United; States Weather Bureau In San Francisco is 5.S5 inches, or fifteen hun dredths of an inch below six inches. Two-thirds of the month of February and the months of March and April yet remain. Copious rains may yet come to replenish the reservoirs of the Spring Valley Water Works Tn 1876 the rainfall for the month of March was five and one-half inches; March, 1879, the quantity was S.75 inches; the same month of 1884. the rain measured SPA inches; in March. 1889, ITO inches, and in March, 1897, 456 inches.
 During the month of April, 1SS0 the rainfall, according to the records in the Government office in this city, was a fraction over ten inches; in April, 1884, the rain measured 6.33 inches; during the same month in the year 1886 the record was 5.20 inches In April 1896, the quantity of rain was 5.15
 The foregoing figures are cited to show that the Spring Valley people are crying out the dangers of a water famine without just cause for appre- hension.
 The Mayor and Supervisors of San Francisco have been assured frequently by Herman Schussler of the Spring Valley Water Works that the comple- ton of the extensive Crystal Springs reservoir provided storage facilities for supply of water sufficient to meet the requirements of the city for three years. The old notion that the first dry sea- son is immediately or successively fol- lowed by two or more dry years is ex- ploded by the records of rainfall. The rainfall. as contained in the table here following, is calculated for the twelve months beginning with and including July of each year

DODSON WANTS
 HIS REVENGE The Street Contractor Is After Justice Carols
 Scalp. Wants Him Inc cted for False Arrest and Malicious
 Prosecution. Judge Campbell Refuses to Issue the Warrant, and Dodson Will Go
 to the Grand Jury.

Beverly Dodson, the colored street contractor, is after the scalp of Justice of the Peace Carroll, and he says he Is indignity of having been arrested on the complaint of the Justice for per jury.
 On January 14 the Justice and Dodson had a violent altercation in the corridor outside the Jus tice's courtroom over case in which Dodson was interested Dod- son had sworn to an affidavit asking for a change of venue on the ground of an alleged remark the Justice had made, and this led to the trouble
 After the altercation the Justice swore to complaint in Judge Camp bells court for the arrest of Dodson on the charge of perjury in swearing to statements in the affidavit for a change of venue which were alleged not to be true.
 Dodson was arrested that night and the case was continued from time to time, till on January 27 1t was dismissed by Judge Campbell
 Since then Dodson has been nursing his wrath against the Justice, and yes IeFQdy ne, dCCOLlpanleu ny HIS dltOI- ney. waited upon Judge Campbell and asked for a warrant for the arrest of Justice Carroll on the charge of false arrest and malicious prosecution. He said that not only had the Justice sub jected him to the indignity of being ar rested but had used language toward him in the hall which was insulting in the extreme, and had threatened to break his jaw.
 The issuance of the warrant was talked over and finally Judge Campbell refused to be a party to 1t, telling Dod- son he had his recourse in the civil courts for a suit for damages if he felt that he had been injured in his reputa- tion and character.
 Dodson pleaded hard for the war rant, but the Judge was obstinate. Dodson said that he would try the other Judges, and if unsuccessful he would take the matter before the Grand Jury and get an indictment if possible He says that he has plenty of witnesses to prove the language which the Justice used toward him and which has hurt his feelings more than anything else.

INCREASED THEIR NATIONS. The Men Confined in the City Prison
 Receive More Food.

The story in Mondays Call about the apparent attempt to starve the prisoners confined in cell 27 in the City Prison has aroused the Chief of Police to action. Yesterday he sent for Captain Robinson, who has charge of the prison, and se- verely reprimanded him for not giving the prisoners sufficient to eat. Subse- quently Robinson had the prisoners who complained about him sign a paper ad- dressed to the Chief of Police exculpating him from all blame. In 1t they accuse the cook who is also a prisoner of de- priving them of sufficient food.
 Yesterday the prisoners were agreeably surprised when they received double ra- tions and were told if they wanted more to at once notify Captain Robinson.

To Messrs. F. T. Cuthbert. II. ]. Brown

have waited for our leader in the
debate to answer your challenge, but
he is not in the county, his term Of
school having closed.
Ihave hesitated in replying to your
challenge because I do not think it
worthy Of attention. But in order that
the public may understand the circum-
stances. will give my reasons for my
position: First, you appointed two OF
the judges, 80 you can have no kick on
the way they were chosen. Second, 1t
is unreasonable to suppose that the
short time allotted to tho leaders wonld
be "a greater disadvantage to the mega
tive than to the affirmative. Third. it
would be an insult to the judges, whom
everybody knows are honest men. and
well qualified to render just decision.
Fourth, we met you half way in our
first debate. and we are not such beg
gars that we will follow you to Canton.
when we won tho debate fairly. Fifth.
only two Of our debators were present
so we had to choose one from the audi
ence q few minutes before, 20 that
when you could not get single vote
from your judges you can not expect
to fare any better when we are al
there.
We, when we came there, had made
up our minds to abide by the decision
of the judges whoever they were, at
least when no mistake was made.
I sympathize with you in your
Affections and hope that God will give
you better sense 80 that you may un
derstand that the government owner

COWARDLy MESSAGE.
Mckinley Aims at the Distress In
Cuba, but Is Afraid to Strike at
the Cause.

The chemic touch of great crisis
always brings out the true character of
a man. The Republicans Of this coun-
try are now discovering the kind of
statesman and patriot they have placed
at the head of this great COVER ment.
Think of the president Of the United
States, in a great and grave emergency
like the present, when the public mind
is at the EXTREMIST tension, sending t,'
congress a cheap and lying common
place like this:
"Ihaye directed that the finding of
the court of inquiry and the views of
this government thereon be communi-
Gated to the government of her majes-
ty. the queen, and do not permit my
self to doubt that the sense of justice
of the Spanish nation will dictate q
course Of action suggested by honor
and friendly relations of the two gov
ernments."
What is the purpose Of this ridicu-
lous platitude about the friendly re-
lations" Of Spain and Cuba? Why,
the two nations have been at the point
Of declaring war against each other
for months past and during that time
have been making the most stupen-
dous preparations for bloody conflict,
and yet here is the president Of this
country hypocritically prating about
the friendly relations" between them.
What ails the man? Has he gone daft?
or does he really believe that this is a
nation of fools or towards?
In all the history of the nation there
was never more humiliating exhibi-
tion of cowardice Of demagogism. or
both, in the white house as this inde
cisive, evasive. and thoroughly insin-
cere message. It harmonizes perfectly
with the dispatches yesterday. which
announced that Mckinley would at
tempt further peaceful negotiations"
with Spain and allow the latter "a fair
opportunity" and . reasonable time"
in which to bring the struggle in Cuba
to IN end. It is impossible to discuss
the situation with any degree Of equa-
nimity, The opinion expressed by the
Minnesota delegation, which we print
this morning, represent the voice Of the
entire nation.
The unpatriotic, almost inbecile
message of the president places the
American people in most humiliating
and painful attitude, which can only
be relieved by the prompt aud patriot
ic action of congress. And it is very
apparent that action will not be long
delayed. Then we shall see q CORE
spondingly prompt backdown on the
part of Spain. But, war or not war,
the starving victims of Spanish tyran-
ny must be relieved. And, as the Chi
cago Tribune says, the way to do it is
by sending to Cuba feet and an army
to free them. Then they will be able
to return to their farms and support
themselves. They will be self-support-
ing citizens of a. free country. But
this does not suit the ideas of the pres
ident. He believes in forgiveness of
wicked, vicious Spain and in soup
houses and in firing bread and bacon
to her reconcentrados instead of bull
let's and shell to her machinery of op-

A Cantonite in San Diego.
SAN DIEGO, CAL, March %. '9s.

Mr.. ED1ToR:-It has been four
months and over since we left Canton.
Ny wife's health is improving fast, 80 ]
can't tell just when we will start back.
We have visited many places Of in
.terest up and down the coats, from San
Francisco to Old Mexico. We have
visited what is called Old Town on the
sea shore. the marriage place of
Ramona. the Spanish girl. At one
place where the cliffs rise to q height Of
over 100 feet the breakers have followed
out seven immense caves. These ex-
tend several hundred feet back into the
hill and at low tide can be entered with
perfect safety. This is the place we
can pick up so many nice shells.
We visited Los Angeles and came to
the conclusion that it is . big city and
going to be larger in the future; but
when it comes to future San Diego is
bound to be the seaport and the COM
mercial city Of California, with rail-
road east as we'll as north. San Diego
stands unrivaled as the prettiest city on
the coast, and is in reality the Naples
Of America. Looking at it from the
ferry it rises tier by tier until it reaches
Union City heights. Street after street
of fine residences with court house,
schools and other public buildings are
rising in regular progression from the
finest sea port in southern California.
The harbor and it's slips from every
nstion on the globe, lies enclosed by
the promontory of point Iona on one
side and Cornado beach extending for
nine miles to enclose magnificent bay
snug and safe from the rolling sea Of
the Pacific ocean. Here the navies Of
the world could lie in safety during the
worst hurricane that sweeps the seas.
On the 22d Of February there were in
this harbor four Of Uncle Sans ships,
the Monadnock, the Monterey, the
Patterson and the Albatross, SILENT
calm and majestic. quietly slumbering
in sunlight and repose; but ct the tap
of the bell at 70 m. the steel mouths Of
the sleeping cannons of the war vessels
opened up with . roar Of forty.two
guns, in honor Of the day we Ill cele-
brate-Washington's birthday. Every
ship in the harbor was decorated with
flags of all nations, hut on top the Star
Spangled Banner rides triumphantly.
Even British vessels carry the flag of the
free above all others. Now this may
seem strange to some of the readers Of
your paper, but here basking in the
sunshine in the bay of San Diego are
ships carrying the flags of all nations.
Our old friend judge Shannon is still
in San Diego, looking we'll and hearty.
He is staying at the Brewster, one OF
the finest hotels in the city.
