FOR IMMEDIATE RELIEF.

NATRIOTIC sentiment and popular sympathy kI for the families of the brave sailors who per
 shed at Havana with the destruction of the Maine will have in San Francisco an opportunity to manifest themselves in form of practical charity next Monday evening at the entertainment arranged by the directors of the Mining Fair for the purpose of raising fund for the relief of the stricken house holds
 The public will bear in mind that the money raised at the fair will be applied for the immediate relief of those for whom it is intended. Moreover, the entire net proceeds will go to the families of the dead sea- men of the Maine There will be no 10 per cent rake-off for wealthy men, who will agree for that consideration to undertake the collection of the money. Nor will the fund be kept indefinitely "in trust until the persons designed by the public be the benehciaries Of their charity forced to the trustees for accounting and distribution.
 At a meeting of the committee appointed by Mir. Denicke take full charge of the work of relief 1t was decided that the money raised should be given without delay to those for whom it designed and for whose sake the people have been invited to contribute. This decision reached after effort had been made to have the fund, at least a portion of it, turned over to a self-constued trus- tee for monument enterprise or for other pur- pose that would leave the money in trust for long time The determination of the committee was, therefore well considered and is final All the money raised will be devoted to the relief of the families of the noble dead, and the relief will be immediate.
 The people of San Francisco can hardly need urg- ing to attend the fair on Monday evening and help to swell the fund designed for purpose that appeals at once to the sentiment of patriotism and the in stincts of humanity The families of the heroic dead need help Their strong support has been taken from them The who by their service the Maine earned the honorable wages that maintained their loved ones at home have perished, The savings which sailors family store away at best but small To them, therefore, relief should be gen. and immediate. San Francisco leads the way in the performance of this public duty and her people are counted on see to it that the raised will be worthy of the and the city
 Let the date be remembered. Let the people get ready. All minor engagements should be put aside Monday evening in order that the attendance may be large enough to fill Mechanics Pavilion to over flowing with generous, loyal, charitable, patriotic people True hearts should prompt willing hands to show the sympathy of action and liberality on an oc casion of this kind The appeal is for the immediate relief of the families of the American sailors who died at the post of duty. The response will show the ardor of our patriotism and the fervor of our sympathy.

THE OUTBREAK IN OAKLAND.

was natural and perhaps inevitable that the out
 rageous water job perpetrated by the shameless
 SIX ot the Oakland City Council should have re- suited in an outburst of public indignation that threat enea the summary punishment of of the betrayers of public trust. Official corruption tends to popular violence, as ex-President Harrison pointed out on l Washngtons birthday, and the only way to surely guard against the one is to remove the other 1 Popular outbreaks undoubtedly have an effect tending to check governmental wrongs They trghten the perpetrators of corrupt acts and serve as a warning against repetitions of the offense Not infrequenty base men in office, who have been ind ferent to the law to reason to justice to honor and to decency have halted in their course retreated and yielded when confronted by enraged community threatening personal punishment and showing an in- cnation to inAict it sternly and swiftly.
 Notwithstanding these things, however, commun- ity loses more than 1t gains by such demonstrations ot violence. In a country where government is of the people, for the people, by the people there should De Ill the law itset sufficient redress for any and all forms of wrong that may be committed The people of Oakland should not forget that it was by their votes live of the shameless six were elected to office and the remaining offender appointed to office would have been poweress for harm without the support of the elected gang.
 There seems fair chance for Oakland to obtain redress for the wrong done her citizens by appeal to law. If the result prove that the schemers have been cunning enough to carry out their outrage within the forms of law then Oakland will have had an impressive lesson the importance of eectng honest men to office, and if her people profit by it the increased water rates of this year will be high price to have paid for the benefits that will result
 In the meantime the directors of the water com panies and their tools in municipal offices would do we'll to give heed to the meaning of the popular out burst in Oakland Thursday night Official rupton in the interest of corporate greed has become sore point with the American people. When so eminent man as an ex-President of the United States, occasion so solemn as that of the ami versary of the birth of the founder of the republic, makes that offense the subject of his speech and ad dresses stern warning to the offenders of the con- sequences of their offensive acts 1t is time for the most reckless wrongdoers to pause and consider
 Water companies have been serious offenders against public morals in California. Even at the present time the water company of Los Angeles is threatening act of spoliation worse, if possible, than that attempted at Oakland The people have been rritated to the limit of endurance with respect to these ofenses, and the significance of the outbreak of Thursday is warning to all concerned to beware lest worse befall them

-------------------- LAW AND. MATRIMONY.

A correspondent has requested Law Notes to advise him how many women a man may marry at once without vfolat- ing any law. This being a mixed question of law and love, and our speciality being law, we feel some hesitation in express ing our opinion. There seems to be no reason why he may not marry as many as will have him, provided the ceremony be not performed "in Territory or other place over which the United States has exclusive jurisdiction.
 The earliest statute on the sub1ect or polygamy U Jac. 1, c. ID enacted that if any person or persons within England and Wales, being married, or hereafter shall marry, do marry any person or per alive each offense shall be felony The statutes 35 George III. c 67, and George I, e. II, have merely changed the punish. ment 1be several Eas' States sI go no further in terms. than to provide that no person 'swho has a former husband or wife liv- ing shall marry a another, nosf, ;h under these unlawful for single man to marry as many single women simultaneously as can place themselves within reach of his voice and the voice of the preacher or officer performing the ceremony.
 It may be that court to whom ques- ton were presented would, by some re- finements and subtleties, and by 'consid-- ering the intent of the Legislature" and construction of the statute according to it's spirit etc, devise some means by which to interrupt the wild career of con jugal felicity which our correspondent proposes and send him to jail. but Law Notes. construing the statutes as all penal statutes should be construed strictly, sees no offense in the multifarious marriage which he has in mind. We feel indisposed to extend the language of the Legisla- ture so as to make 1t include cases not embraced in its terms. 1t Is not unrea- sonable to presume that the Legislature

SIGSBEES GREATEST GLORY.

The Army and Navy Journal in its last issue, commenting upon the Maine disaster, says of Captain Sigsbee:
 Again has the country received proof of the character of the men who com mand our navy. Could there be a more severe test of a mans quality than that to which Captain Sigsbee was subjected How we'll he met it is shown by his first dispatch, in which he counseled a sus- pension of judgment as to the cause of the calamity. 1t is those who suNer most from this disaster-who are best able to judge of it's full extent and appalling sig nificance-who have been the most calm and collected, and who have done the most to restrain hysterical utterances and to prove to the world that Americans may always be depended upon to show In the presence of a great emergency the calm ness of true courage; the reservation Of an invincible resolution which can wait until the proper time comes for its ac- ton.
 "It is a gallant action to blow up the enemy'S warship in time of war as did William T. Cushing It is an equally gallant action to stay by your own ship after she had been blown up, amid dead ly, peril of more explosions, until your men are off; and 1t argues even higher and nobler gallantry to stand between this awful experience and an imminent outbreak of popular frenzy and by cool, brave counsel avert the greater calam- ity. This did Charles D. Sigsbee. No man ever better earned the thanks of Congress. His country already thanks him and is proud of him."

THE CUBAN GOVERNMENT.

The Cuban Government I found to be working with just the same routine as any well-recogniZed government. Major General Bartolome Maso the President of the Cuban republic, impressed me as be- ing very conscientious, energetic and in- telligent man, and, above all things, a great patriot, and one who has the repu- tation of being one of the most honest men on the island He was born in Manzanllo in 1884. and took part in the insurrection of 1s6S On the 24th of Feb ruary, 1895, he left Manzanillo, and has been in the field ever since. He was elected Vice-President of the Cuban re- public on September 1S 1895, and elected President October %, 1897.
 The Vice-President, Mendez Capote, Is also an exceedingly bright and clever the rank of brigadier-general and was born in Cardenas, in the province of Ma tanzas: He holds the degrees of IL. D. and Ph. D. from the University of Ha- vana, and Is secretary of the Spanish American Light and Power Company. Consolidated, and was counsel for the railroads of Havana.
 The members of the cabinet are also very competent and intelligent men, be- longing to some of the best families in Cuba. The Secretary of War, Brigadier Clara, and is 34 years old. He is not only planter, but the editor and owner of La Defensa, Liberal newspaper pub lished in Santa Clara, and has served as Alderman of the Santa Clara Munici- pal Council.
 The Secretary of the Treasury, Colonel Ernesto Tons Sterling, was born in Ha- vana. He is 28 years old and belongs to one of the best families on the island.
 The Secretary of Foreign Affairs, Colonel Andres Moreno de la Torre was born in Cardenas, in the province of Ma tanzas. He is 3S years old and holds the degree of LID. He is the owner of a sugar plantation and is well known law yer of Havana and Cardenas

TURN THE RASCALS OUT.

HE attempt of the Phelan Democracy at its
 meeting on Thursday evening to cast upon Boss
 Rainey the entire blame for the corrupt local government of the past year quite certain to prove futile. The Democratic party entirety must be held accountable for the Shifty Eight in the Board of Supervisors the Solid Nine" in the Board of Education and the general demoralization which has resulted all around from putting Democrats on guard" Otherwise there IS an end of party respon- sibilty Rainey can no more be held accountable for the corruption than Boss Phelan Boss Sullivan or any other of the numerous bosses who sport the Democratic label
 The truth of the matter is the Democratic party of this city, at present organized is incapable of giving good government. The sign by which 1t conquers Is 'the offices" In this respect Mayor Phelan is better than his followers Upon the platform he talks statesmanstip and reform glibly, but in the filthy pool he is nothing less than a patronage grubber who would load down the muni- cipa payroll with his friends, supporters and rela- tves and perhaps sell his soul for an office If Mayor Phelan were as much of statesman in politics he is an intelligent gentleman in private life he would recognize his system utterly destructive of good government and reform. No man who spends his time creating and filling offices can do anything for the people
 It is true that the Phelan Democracy, which now cndeavors to make out that Rainey is responsible for all the boodlng which has lately taken place at the City Hall, has generally opposed the policy of the Solid Eight and the Solid Nine" But it may be questioned whether this opposition has been due to its inherent virtue The fact probably is that Colonel Sullivan and his politicians are now bowling for "good government mainly because Boss Rainey has had the offices for two years. Had they controlled the places dispensed by him they might be apo- ogizing for "Cappun" Delanys combine and de- nouncing the Grand Jury for taking unfair advan- tage of the angelic Waller.
 Among Democrats the offices the source of all virtue. If Mayor Phelan's friends were drawing down the salaries paid at the City Hall undoubtedly this in his eyes, would be a model government. The conclusion to be drawn as we have already remarked is that the Democrats are incompetent What the people should do autumn is not to appeal from Phillip drunk to Phillip sober by dismissing Raney Democrats and placing Phean Democrats "on guard" but they should fire the whole crowd for cause.
 What the city wants is clean Republican admin istration throughout A respectable Board of Super visors, decent Board of Education and Republican Mayor would soon straighten things out. A change from Democrats to Democrats will simply add to the agony of misgovernment

GOOD RAINS AT LAST.

D last the rains have come, and, what is more / \ they have come 1t seems, in season for the greater portion of the crops throughout the State. The fears of drought have vanished and every prospect justfes the hope that the farmers and orchardists of the State will have good harvests profit by the advancing prices caused by the general revival of industry in the manufacturing centers and the increased consuming power of the people. | It would have been calamity indeed to have
 dry spring in California this year Alter almost rainess fall and winter lack of rains between this time and the coming of summer would deprive the State of almost every advantage it has expected fr.ln the return of better times. As it is can look to the future with sangune expectation. The augmented demand for wheat, wool, cattle, hops, trit ,alsins, wine and oil will find Californians in the market with bountiful supply.
 The benefits resulting from the rains will accrue, not to the rural districts only but the whole State The stimulating effects of the refreshing showers will be felt in business well in the fields. The throngs of Eastern people their way to Alaska in passing through the State for the purpose of outftng in San Francisco will see the whole commonwealth flourish ing in the possession of present good and buoyant with expectations of the future.
 Words of cheer come from all sections of the State where the rains have fallen, and the area has been wide one. Santa Clara County reports: "The rain came in the nick of time. Orchardists de lighted as well as ranchers and stockgrowers' y From the San Joaquin Valley comes the statement:
 The crops in splendid condition and should two or three inches of rain result from this precipitation the harvest of grain will be immense" From Napa, Woodland and Santa Cruz come similar reports and only in the southern counties there still to be heard expressions of doubt and anxiety concerning the crops in districts which lack the advantages of irrigation.
 Az. 0to ina ,1> f1,e tc decidedly bright The long dry spell is broken and the rains promise be ample to make the pros perity of the people by harvests of bountiful char fer

intended merely to protect innocent and unwary persons from marrying others al- ready married, in ignorance of the pre- vious marriage, and to prevent wives and husbands from deserting their consorts for others. We do not know that the Legislature intended to prevent a man from marrying more than one woman simultaneously, when it could so easily
 This position finds strength in the fact that the Edmunds act (act Con. March 2, 1sS20, declares expressly, in addition to the usual provision, that "any man who hereafter simultaneously, or on the same day, marries more than one woman, in a Territory or other place over which the United States has exclusive jurisdic- tion, is guilty of polygamy," thereby rec ognizing that the usual provision does not meet the case in question.-Law Notes.
