If you happen to own a big, beauti-
full old embroidered Chinese crepe
shawl, with rich silk fringe, a heritage
from an ancestress who wore the
shawl tenderly as a wrap, if it has
turned the shade of old ivory, and is
fragrant with the spick sachets amid
which it has lain for years, have it
forth and turn it into a gown. A white
silk gown with an overskirt made of
such a shawl is the most modish and
sumptuous dinner toilet possible at
present, and if you wish to realize

Now, it is an undisputable fact that
some sensible women are not going to

Women are going to take kindly to
the crisp taffeta ties called the Lady

THE POLITICAL GRUBSTaKE.

IF were not serious it would be amusing to wit
ness the Democratic horror at The Calls expo
sure of the system of political grubstaking fol-
lowed bv candidates for the United States Senate.
Under that system love and affection have place
but go to the limbo of obsolete things along with
party LOYALTY and State patriotism. 1t recognizes
money as the only merit in candidate. A man may
have the accomplishments of the Admirable Crichton
the patriotism of Washington the profundity of Web
ster and the eloquence of Clay, but these qualifca
tons for the Senatorshp cut no figure against an
ignorant and accidentally rich man who can grub
stake candidates for the Legislature and thereby Sc
cure their votes when elected.
Perhaps in the beginning this practice not con-
sidered reprehensibe When the late Senator Hearst
desired to acquire this great public honor he entered
upon an extensive grubstaking enterprise. Demo-
cratic candidates whom he had not personally
received his check and request to invest it in secur-
ing those ballots declared by Whittier to
" fall as light snowfakes on the sod.
But execute the freeman's will
AS lightning does the will of God"
Several gentlemen returned these checks, and If
they succeeded in getting elected were viewed with
alarm, while those who kept the checks and were
elected were pointed with pride. This system was
the cause of the of the purity OF elections
law Under it a legislative candidate appoints a
purity committee which audts his election expenses
and files the account under oath.
The revelations current at Sacramento make it ap-
parent that some candidates needed impurty COM
nlittee.
In the case of Speaker Wrong it is not yet estab-
shed that his campaign accounts were audited at all
OF that the members of his purity committee ever
made oath to the required statement.
One fact in his case stands out in forcibe relief.
According to his statement he paid an opponent
for the nomination to withdraw in his favor, and then
appointed the same man member of his purity COM
nlittee This money paid for the right of way TO the
nomination was furnished from the eXchequer OF a
candidate for the United States Senate and, though
contributed from that part OF the Speaker
political expenses the gentleman to whom it paid
did not find it among the audited accounts of the
didate!
Since the introduction of the political grubstae the
system seems to have undergone changes and to have
been applied to the purchase of right OF way in the
party convention we'll the purpose of fighting
the common enemy, by opening the eyes of voters to
the virtues OF the grubstaked candidate

smaller cigar makers by reason OF the very nature OF
our economic system 1t is therefore, most grew
wrong that the law should step in and give such
further advantage to the big factories will suppress
the independent workers altogether.
1t is stated by the Commissioner in his decision as
an explanation of the adoption of the rule that
increased rates of tax tobacco products entorces
more careful supervision the sale and DISPOSE
ton of leaf tobacco" As an explanation that may be
ample, but justification it is worth nothing. The
United States are not so poor that they haveto inn
pose taxes that literally crush out the industries OF
the people There are many ways in which the needed
revenues of the Government may be raised without
resorting to such exactions upon small industries
and If the tobacco cannot be collected under the
law with as little injustice under the old 1t
would be better to return to the former rate.
The issue is which cannot be postponed. The
wrong that has been done should be impressed upon
Congress at the present session. AS the matter
stands, if Congress does not take action to
amend the law and do justice to the small Dealers
there will be some suspicion that the big cigar fac
tories have cunningly devised this scheme to drive
their small competitors out of business and compel
them to seek employment in the big factories as
operatives and possibly at lower wages than the pres
ent operatives earning.
The cigar-makers should not be left to fight the
battle alone The issue is one that concerns the
whole community 1t is estimated there are upward
of cgarmakers in this city alone and that there

that number. The ruin of the industry of which
is derived the maintenance OF that number of persons
would be a serious affair under any circumstances,
if brought about by the irresistible development
of forces OF economic change, but when done by
act of legislation it is injustice which should not

THE COYOTE SCALP STEAL.

y BILL has been introduced into the Legsla-
| \ ture appropriating $4,000, with which to
liquidate the coyote scalp claims incurred under
the statute repealed four years ago The measure
provides that payment shall be made by the State
Treasurer during the next two fiscal years, that
the entire burden will not fall in any year 1t is
enacted that the State Board of Examiners shall
anime all the claims and pay only those which seem
to it just and proper.
While. OF course it is absolutely necessary that the
coyote claims should be thoroughly investigated, we
do not think the power to make the inquiry should
be conferred upon the State Board of Examiners
That body consists of the Governor, Secretary Of
State and Attorney General three officials who have
plenty to do without this additional duty. In the
ture of things they give the subject the at
tention it deserves which is a serious matter, since
not single coyote claim should be paid until some
body is thoroughly satisfied that it is genuine.
1t is notorious that during the time the statute
ferred to in force coyote farming in certain por
tons OF the State profitable industry 1t has
been charged on excellent authority that many agr-
cuturists in the mountain counties added coyote
scaps their regular output and made great deal
OF money thereby 1t is also we'll known that large
numbers of coyotes killed in Arizona and
Nevada and their scalps brought into this State
There was at one time sufficient evidence to establish
the fact that bales OF coyote Scalps authent-
Gated in several different counties being shipped from
one to the other by collusive County Clerks.
Moreover these claims have all now taken on
speculative character They have been purchased at
enormous discounts from the original holders and
have fallen into the hands of banks and capitalists
The biennial attempt to pay them, therefore, has be-
come regular raid upon the treasury. Two years
ago money openly used in the lobby to pass a
bill appropriating money to pay them, and consd-
cradle scandal resulted from charges preferred against
one man of bribng member of the Legislature
The Legislature owes it to itself to see that this
bill does not pass until ample provision has been
made for thorough investigation of the claims and
the establishment of their genuineness Any other
course cannot fail to result in the actual ooting Of
the treasury.

A NORMAL SCHOOL PLAN.
Pupils Willing to Contribute to a
Fund to Maintain It.

A meeting of the Normal School stu
dents was held yesterday afternoon. The
young ladies agreed upon a plan of pay
ing their own tuition to the school, and
will submit their determination to the
Board of Education at its next meeting.
Each pupil proposes to contribute S. per
month to the general school fund, and in
tend by so doing to break the econom-
ical objection which has been brought to
bear against the existence of the institu-
ton. BY placing the money, in the gem
eral school fund it cannot be construed
as being an appropriation to maintain an
independent school.
A petition is being circulated and has
already. gained the signatures Of over 1000

June 1t sets forth that the pupils en-
tered the school at the beginning of the
term with the intention of graduating,
and should not be robbed of this opor-
tunity.
A mass-meeting will be held in Depart
ment 6 of the Superior Court in the City
Hall for the purpose of protesting against
the action of the School Board. The par
ents of the pupils and the public are in
vited to be present.

ANOTHER WAR ON THE
EDUCATIONAL SOCIETY
Chinese Slave Owners Begin Fight
Similar to the Cne Lost a
Year Ago.

The trial of Ong Foon, arrested on the
charges of vagrancy and attempted eX-
tortion and blackmail, which comes De-
fore Judge Mogan this afternoon is one
in which there is much interest in China
town.
For several wears the Chinese Society
for English Education has been a strong
factor in the suppression of slave dealing
and Illicit immigration and the result mas
been that the slave dealers association
has used every means in it's power to
break up the society.
About a year ago these attacks on the
society were fully exposed in The Call,
and it was then shown, that thousands OF
dollars had been raised among the Keep
ers and inmates of the houses of i'll fame
in Chinatown for the purpose of suborn-
ing witnesses in order to break up the
Educational Society.
Ong Foon is an active member of the
Educational Society and has been instru-
mental in numerous cases in sending
back to China women who were brought
here as slaves. The slave dealers and
owners have had him arrested on the
charges set forth above and expect to
strike through him the. first blow of an
other attack on the society. FoOn claims
to be able to fully diSproVe all the
charges against him, and the society is
ready to take immediate action for it's
protection as soon as the case is decided.
At the time of the former attack it was
conclusively shown by the police that the
Educational Society was the only society
in Chinatown which never gave trouble
and during the existence of the organiza.
ton no member had been arrested on any
charge, and at no time of the day or night
had the police ever found the door of the
society's rooms locked.
An investigation into the conditions
surrounding the present fight shows that
another fund has been raised by the slave
dealers. but the society expresses conf
dence in its ability to meet all charges
and attacks that may be made upon it.

THE UNCHANGED BLACK LIST.

Y MOTHER days balloting for Senator has
I passed at Sacramento and the black list Of
shameless legislators who in defiance OF an
indignant public opinion vote for the disreputable
Dan Burns remains the same. Since Speaker Wright
when crawling into that camp was detected with
Grants money in his pocket no member has followed
his Shiny trail There is now reason to believe that
none will. The full measure of Burns strength and
the disgrace OF the Legislature has seemingly been
reached and the prospects are that when any change
comes it will be for the better.
Meantime let the people remember that the men
who have had so little regard for their reputa-
ton and the interests and honor of the State as
vote for the whose handling OF public money has
always resulted in shortage and a criminal prosecu-
ton are these:

NOTED mEN AT THE TRAPS.
Tod Sloane and Johnny Coleman Will
Shoot a 1OO-Bird Race To-Day.

81 have made my fortune in the saddle,
but of all sports 1 think nothing is more
enjoyable than shooting" said Tod Sloan
last evening to his friend Johnny Cole
man, who, by the way, is smasher at
the traps.
Can you really shoot, Tod?" queried
Coleman in a rather astonished tone.
Sloan did not speak for fully five min
utes. He felt stung at being asked such
a stupid question, but finally he mustered
UP sufficient courage to put one 10 Core
man.
Look here, Johnny, me boy, If you
have an idea that | can't shoot IL JusI
bet you a champagne supper that can
drop more birds any day pefore tne lt ,d,p!S
than you have ever been known to XIII.
Coleman was staggered.
The presumption of the little man OIL
pig skin fame challenging him to pig
con shoot, and live birds at that was
something unforeseen, unexpected uIl3
he said, and Coleman had to accept the
challenge or de the laughing stock Oh the
gun shooting fraternity
well, Tod, old boy. guess L must &C
coHnmodate you, Notwithstanding that you
are reported to have bagged more grouse
than the Prince of Wales on the Scot
fish moors in days sport, was the
smiling retort of Bookmaker Jack.
The two craekajacks then repaired to
the rooms of the Olympic Gun Club, where
articles of agreement were drawn up ana
noon at the shooting grounds of the
Olympic Gun Club and shoot at 100 birds
each for the supper. Nottingham rules
will govern the race and the arucles
ended up with the Statement, May the
best man win" Al Cumming will act as
second for Sloan and Sloan will be es-
Quired by Eddie Bald, the wheelman.
Referee and official scorers will be select
ed on the grounds. Coleman is a slight
favorite in the betting, but it is thought
that the friends of Sloan will open up
their sacks to-day.

THE CALLS NEWS SERVICE.

\ / ESTERDAY The Call gave its readers a
double proof OF the superiority OF its news ser
vice over that Of all its competitors combined.
Il the only paper in the city to publish verbatim
report OF the proceedings OF the investigating com
mittec at Sacramento, and was also the only paper
to publish the cablegram from Auckland announcing
the outbreak of war in the Samoan Islands.
These two items constituted the most important
events, local foreign, OF the day No issue of do
mestc affairs is so interesting or so noteworthy as
that involved in the hearing of the Senatorial scandal
at Sacramento On that subject the people ought to
know the whole truth, and The Call gave it. while
the other papers made garbled digest which fur
nshed but an inadequate treatment OF the subject
The outbreak of the natives OF the Samoan Islands
Is fraught with the danger OF involving the United
States Great Britain and Germany in the controversy
for the administration OF the islands is under their
joint control The islands hold strategic position in
the Southern Pacific and the interests OF the three
powers in them are great Therefore the news OF the
outbreak matter of no small concern to the world
at large
Oh course cablegrams and full stenographic reports
Of important proceedings cost money 1t would be
cheaper 20 fill newspaper with fake interviews with

SUTRO'S HEIRS
WILL ENJOY
HIS WEALTH
Trust Clause Declared
Null and Void.
JUDGE TRoUTT'S DECISION
BASED ON THAT GIVEN IN THE
FAIR CASE.
"a Trust to Convey Is Invalid and
Besides the Intent Of the Tes-
tator Is Not Clearly
Defined"

Yesterday morning Judge Trout de"
clared the trust clause of the will OF
Adolph Sutro invalid, and in the event
the Supreme Court sustains the opinion,
or the decision rendered by Judge Slack
declaring a similar trust in the will or
the late James G. Fair invalid, the Sutro
Heights, Cliff House and San Miguel
Rancho properties, valued at about S5OUo'-
co., will be merged in the residuary estate
of the dead millionaire and will be distr1o-
uted among the heirs at law to the vast
estate as though the deceased had died in
testate.
The trust clause was declared invalid
in the action instituted by Clara Sutro,
Edgar E. Sutro, Kate Nusbaum and Rosa
V Morbio children of Adolph Sutro,
against Mrs. DIR. Emma L. Merritt and
w H. r. Adamson, as trustees, and
Emma l.. Merritt, her husband, George

dered that judgment be entered Tor the
plaintiffs. He filed no opinion, put stated
that Judgment was given in acceptance
with the decision handed down in the &C
ton to declare the trust clause OF tne
will of the late James G. Fair lnyalld.
1.-THE clause is clearly invalid, SAID Judge
Trout after he left the bench, by rea-
son that it endeavors to establish trust

the intent of the testator IS not cieaT,ly
