IMPORTANT DECISION.


>DS@e~.Se 80
ing to Insolvent Banks.
SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. Am i'm
portant banking decision was rendered
to-day by United States Circuit Judge
Morrow in the case of J. Frank Aid
rich as receiver of the Tacoma National
Bank VS.. Louis D. Campbell.
Judge Morrow ruled that the Comp
troller of the Curren " has jurisdiction
to enforce by assessment the individual
liability of the stockholders of an in
solvent national bank, equally and
'ratably, and not one for another, TO
the extent of the amount of their stock
in the bank at the par value thereof.
Acting within this clearly defined au-
thority, an order of the Comptroller d.
recting an assessment is absolutely con
elusive upon the stockholders of the
bank, and cannot be controverted by
them in any defense they may seek to
interpose against an action based upon
such an assessment.

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. S.-The mu-
nicipal election here yesterday was at
tended with no great excitement, al
though much interest was manifested, as
the officers-e elect will be the first to ad-
minister the new charter of the city.
There were 52.OS1 votes cast, and at :.
o'clock this "wednesday morning, the
count has not been completed. So far
as the principal offices are concerned,
however, the result is known, although
definite figures cannot be given.
Mayor Phelan Cd has been re-eleet-
ed by a majority which may reach TO-
600. the most conservative estimate Of
his opponents placing it at 5000. DR..
Dodge CD for Assessor, ran ahead of
his entire ticket, polling nearly to
l against Heyer (RD. Asa r. Wells
(R.) has been chosen Auditor by good
majority, and William Deane (R) has
defeated Major Geary CD for County
Clerk. Franklin Lane CD will con-
tinue in Office as City and County At
torney, and John Lackman (R.) will be
the next Sheriff. All of these will have
substantial majorities.
The vote for the other places to be
filled is close, and in some cases the
official returns may be required to de-
eide the result. The indications, how
ever, are that Scott R.) will beat Do
Ian CD for Tax Collector, Brooks Cd
defeats Fusier (R.) for Treasurer and
that Byington (D.) is elected District
Attorney. Godchaux CD is ahead for
Recorder, and Boland Cd for Public
Administrator, and both are counted
as winners.
For Coroner the contest is close be.
tween DR.. Beverly Cole CD and DR.. c.

chances slightly in favor of the latter.
The Board of Supervisors will be
largely Democratic, it being claimed
that from thirteen to sixteen of it's
eighteen members will belong to that
party.
The Police Judges elected will prob
ably be Joachimsen (R.), Conlan D.),
Mogan CD and Cabaniss CD.
Mayor Phelan in an interview stated
that he was never in doubt as to the
result.

years ago gave Shaw S6, 565, White y.
1872. This is net Republican gain OF
1888, or about Il to precinct. The
same ratio, if continued for the State,
will give a Republican plurality OF
about 6O,000 There are few Re-
publican gains IN the Legislature, and
the indications are the Republicans will

age. There was no judge or jury, the

Many witnesses were then heard.

ATLANTA, Ca, April a. Governor
Gambler gave the following statement
on the burning Of Sam Hose near
Newman;
"The whole thing is deplorable and
Hoses crime, the holrid details OF
which have been published, aud are
too horrible for publication, 10 the
most diabolical in the annals of crime.
The negroes OF that community lost
the best opportunity they will ever
have to elevate themselves in
the estimation Of their white
ncighbors Tho diabollcal nature
OF the double crime was well
known to every one Of them; the per-
pctrator was we'll known and they
owed it to their race to exhaust every
means OF bringing Hose to justice.
This course won Id have done moro to
protect their race against the mob
than all the rewards and proclama'
tions OF all the governors for the next
Fifty years But they lost the oppor-
tunity, and 1t is deplorable fact that
whilo scores Of intelligent negroes,
leaders Of their race, have talked to
me about the Palmetto lynching, not
one Of them has ever in the remotest
way alluded to either the burning of
Palmetto which provoked the lynch
ing, nor to the iabolical crime OF
Hose,
~ do not believe these men sympa'
thized with Hose or the Palmetto in
cendiarles, but they are blinded by
race prejudice and can see but one
side Of the question. This is unfor'
tunate, They must learn to look at
both sides want to protect them in
every legal right and against mob vio-
lence, and l. stand ready to employ
every resource OF the state in doing so,
but they must realize that in order TO
merit and receive the protection OF
the community they must show will
lingless to at least aid In protect
ing the community against the lawless
element Of their own race The good
and law-ablding negroes must separ-
ate themselves from the lawless and
criminal element. They must de-
nouuce crime and aid in bringing
criminals to justice, whether they be
black or white, In this way they can
do more to protect themselves than
all the courts and jurics in the state
can do for them 70 secure protec'
tion against lawlcss whites they must
show a disposition to protect the
white people against lawlcss blacks.
