cIes OF enterprise

The so-called national bank system
was another step in this direction of
monopoly. The competition of State
banks and all other financial institu-
tions was excluded from these subsi-
died national concerns by the 10 per
cent. tax, and by many exclusive favors
I'm the law; among which is the practi-
cally free furnishing of these pet banks
with so-called national bank notes TO
90 per cent. of their capital deposited
in U. S. bonds in the Treasury, upon
which bonds full interest was and is
paid to the national banks, and they
pay no interest on the said 90 per cent.
OF money loaned to the banks by the
Government.

conceded so freely and exclusively TO

If; home manufacture was put to tri

banking and currency were controlled

ALL RIGHTS MENACED.

The Witnesses appearing before the
Industrial Commission now in session
at Washington, are piIing up evidence
mountain high against the trusts and
other great combines. The only defense
SO far offered in behalf of the prac-
tees of these conspiracies to destroy
competition and establish monopoly, is
that it is business" and that all bus
mess" men and corporations pursue the
same or similar policies. The testi-
mony is conclusive against these man.
moth aEglomerations of power and cap
ital, and there is no question that un-
less stayed in their career. they will
defy government by hook or crook. and
destroy all personal liberty, except
what they reserve to themselves and
transform into despotism. Labor, ma
teral. capital. production. commodity
and all persons and things concerned
in these, are surely falling into the
hands of the trusts, and unless some
stay be put 10 their proceedings, no.
body outside of the trust conspiracy Is

suit of happiness, or free living or labor.

STRONG LANGUAGE.
It Induced Justice Anderson to Inn
pose a Strong Fine.

Conrad Schepp, recently tried by a
jury and found ,euilty of disturbing the
peace of the neighborhood of Twelfth
and E streets, yesterday stood up in
the City Justice Court and was fined
$50.
In passing sentence Justice Anderson
said there was no excuse for Schepp's s
conduct, and that Notwithstanding the
fact that he had no defense to make
he demanded a jury trial. The Ian
guage used by Schepp on the occasion
of the disturbance was, he said, abso-
lutely uncalled for and contrary to the
ehiyalric ideas of the men of this coun-
try. He considered a fine of $50, under
the circumstances, very light, and
hoped 1t would be a warning to Schepp
to govern his temper in the future.
Schepp's attorney made a motion for
new trial on statutory grounds, which
was denied. He thereupon filed a mo-
ton for an appeal, pending the hearing
of which Schepp was released on $3.50

RODGERS DISCHARGED.
He Used a Crippled Horse, but He
Couldn't HeIp It.

G. w Rodgers. the man who on FRI
day was arrested by Humane officer
Payne for cruelty to animals, was ar
raigned in the City Justices Court
yesterday morning, found technically
guilty, and judgment was suspended
and the accused and family recon-
mended to the Humane Society as being
worthy objects of charity.
Payne testified that the animal in
question was being driven by a little
boy and girl and that he. believing
1t unfit for driving, took it to stable
and proposed taking the children back
to their camp across the American
River bridge. Rodgers appeared about
that time and spoke impertinently. The
witness warned him to go about his
business and said that he would take
care of the horse. Rodgers again re-
piled impertinently, and the witness
thereupon arrested him and charged
MIN with cruelty to animals. The wiz
ness heard that the children begged
money to get two old shoes nailed on
the horses feet.
Judge Anderson asked Rodgers to
make statement, and the latter said
|

OF the horses cast its front shoes about
sixty miles from this city, and as he
mad no money to get it reshod, its feet
were sore when he got here. He sent
the children into town and they asked
assistance for the price of shceing the
animal. He said that he and his wife
We're both i'll, but that, broken down as
he was, he was making every effort to
get work.
Justice Anderson said that beyond
question Rodgers was technically gull
ty, but he recalled incidents of the days
when the travel to the State was all
by wagon, when both men and animals
arrived here footsore and weary. He
said the case was one for charity, rath-
er than the courts.
City Attorney De Ligne said it would
serve no purpose to fine or imprison

the court.

In spite Of the hot weather these are
busy days for the majority of people.
Our fair season is always a pleasant
''go-between" after the summer trips
to the coast or mountains before we
buckle down to our winter work. Now,
that it is thing Of the past, every
body is preparing some plan for the
coming winter days, which, dare say,
win be greeted with outstretched arms
after these murky ones, by every living
being.
The reopening Of school always starts
the ball to rolling. In every direction
may be seen children with their
bright, new books. A walk past our
High School the other morning recalled
the quaint feature of the "old woman
who lived in a shoe, who had so many
children she didn't know WHAT to do"
It struck me very forcibly, and if any
body doubts for moment that a new
high school building is one of the ne
cessities of our town, just let him wan
der around in the direction of Ninth
and NJ streets about 1870 any morning
and be convinced. No doubt. our other
schools are full to overhowing, too, but
to see "eur coming young ladies and
sardines into the smallest school build
ing in the city is no wonder that we are
hoping that those plans we read
about win prove no myth.

says the world is like a jacket but
toned UP wrong-one button hole
above the button" and when we read,
as we have, that in Chicago men are
taking the places of women as servants
in every branch of the household
duties, we feel assured that several
buttons have been skipped. But then,
if this is a style, come TO stay, let us
hope it will travel farther West and
arrive in California before long, for the
trials and trfbulations of the housewife
are daily growing unbearable out here.
There are so many avenues now open
TO girls that one can not blame them
for choosing a duty other than the mo-
notonius ones of housework. Then, too,
the little brown men with their migra-
tory instinct cannot be relied upon, and
as for the Chinese, they are equally as
wearing to instinct. Considering it all,
the man-for-housework will be the
remedy to tighten the trials of the
housewife. And why not? An equi-
librium win then be established-the
in-the-kitchen will offset the girl
in-the-office.
