IF ALL WOULD WORK.
Pzofessor Hertzlss.'s Figures Are Interest. ing From Several Points of View.

ing From Several Points of View.
 Professor Hertzka, tue eminent so- ciologist of Austria, has prepared an in- teresting table of figures on production under the system of association which the dootrinaires in social economics are trying to substitute for the present con- petitiye system of industry under which the trust fiourishes and will continue to exist in modified form in spite of all the legal restrictions that may be devised.
 Hertzka figures out what labor will be required to produce the common Deeessaries of life for the 22, GOO, GOO in- habitants of Austria, with the result that all ndustries-agricultu arohi- lecture, building, four, sugar, coal, iron, machine building, clothing and chemical production-need 615, GOO em- ployed l l hours per day 300 days year to satisfy every imaginable want. But these 615, GOO laborers are 12.3 per cent of the population able to work, exclud- ing all women and all persons under 16 years or over 90 years of age. Hence, should the 5000, 900 men instead of 615. .000 te engaged ill work they would need to work only 36. 9 days every year to produce everything needed for the support of the population of Austria But should the ,, GOO, 900 work all the year-say 800 days-each would need to work only l hour 215 minutes per day To produce all the luzuries in ad- dition these 5, 900, GOO would need to work only hours and 12 minutes day for only about 3 months in the whole year.
 If Hertzka's s figures are correct, they strongly emphasize the fearful waste of energy under the present industrial sys- tenn of the world Since this system has been in operation, however. as long as history gives any account of man s progress it Is not at all likely to be changed just because the Socialists pro- duce figures which suggest injustiees But if Hertzka should usher in new era aleng the lines Of his contention, all tho Weary }Yilliea and other tired and unhappy people of the earth would find flaws in his system because it did not provide way for them to live without working at all.-St. Louis Re- public

 The junk dealer looked startled for the question betokened an intimate knowledge of the jargon of his kind
 Why. yes, l guess so, he responded when he could get his breath. What the buyer meant was an old sewing ma ahino which could be turned in to the sewing machine company as part pay ment on new machine. The company allows $5 on an old machine, and some times the agent or eanvasser allows $5 more out of his commission on the sale.

 The companies know, of course, that a large number of the families who turn in old machines said to have been bought by them before the flood really come from the secondhand stores and cost only $1. At this rate the buyer gets an allowance of $10, which, deducting the $1, leaves net $9. If there does hap pen to be an old one in the possession of the family, the whole $10 is realized.---

DAMAGES AND WATER RIGHTS
Suit Filed Yesterday by Noble Against
Bohrmann

A damage suit, in-which Frederick Noble
is plaintiff and senry c. Bohrmann and his
wife, Mary BohrmGnn, are defendants, was
commenced yesterday. The cause of the
action is due to the failure of the Bohr-
manns to assign certain water rights,
which Noble alleges were included in a
certain exchange Of property.
Noble claims that on July 2Sth of this
year the defendants promised to Exchange
lots and G. in block 81 of the Scott tract.
including several shares OF water stock,
for land owned by the plaintiff. Noble ac-
cepted the offer and the exchange was
made according to the agreement, with
the exception of the water shares After
the filing of the deeds. the defendants
sents 1884 shares of the Laguna Irrigation
company. and threatened to sell the same.
AS the company has refused to allow the
plaintiff to use the water, because he does
not hold shares in the company naturally
he wishes to secure a certificate of stock.

water Is of little value.
In the first place, he asks that he be
given the water shares, which he believes
are appurtenances to the land. or $3.50, and,
in the second, the sum of $500, which he al
legcs represents damages by reason of be-
ing denied water He also asks the court
10 declare the exchange Cancelled and that

JUSTICE AND SUPERIOR COURTS
An Opinion on the Jurisdiction of the
Respective Courts

The action entitled H I. Christian VS.
Superior Court of San Diego has been de-
cided by the supreme court for the plaintiff
The action was proceeding upon a writ
Of review. wherein it Is contended by Chris
tan shat a certain judgment entered by
the superior court Of San Diego Is void for
want of jurisdiction On April 10, 1885,
suit was commenced in the superior court
against Christian and f. Dougherty to col
lect a $500 note The Judgment went against
Christian who appealed, on the GROUND
that the superior court had no 1urisdic-
ton. He alleged that in section of Artl-
Gle " Of the constitution superior courts
are given jurisdiction of cases in which the
demand. exclusive of interest, amounts to
$500, and in section II of the same article
1t is provided that the powers and duties Of
justices of the peace shall not trench upon
the jurisdiction of other courts.
The question in this action was whether
the superior court or justice court had
jurisdiction in an action upon note orig
inally for less than $500. but which, by COM
pounding the interest has created n new
principal amounting to more than $500. The
supreme court decided that the superior
court was without Jurisdiction and the
Judgment given was void.

ARMORY NEARLY BURNS
Serious Fire Averted Only by Prompt
Action

A dangerous conflagration was narrowly
averted last Wednesday night, which
would have completely destroyed the
handsome armory of the Seventh regiment
y. G. c., at the corner of Eighth and
Spring streets. Private Charles Pray of
Company a, who had been out late a Agri-
cultural park on Wednesday evening, re-
turned about II o'clock and went to sleep in
his locker room on the third floor of the
building. About o'clock he was awakene
by a sound of burning timber A voyage
|of discovery resulted in the finding of a
burning spittoon, probably started by a
discarded cigarette. The fire had gained
considerable headway and had already
Ieaten it's way through the flooring in the
hall and burned out several feet of the
this city and San Francisco, for the pur-
Jones, the custodian of the building, who
sleeps on the second floor. and after some
hard work the flames were extinguished.
The building was erected about eighteen
months ago at cost of $4,000, and would
have been a great loss to the fire insurance
companies here.
