The Remedy.

tests over the honors to be distributed

der free institutions, have the assur-
ance to make photograph of the
political situation in Sacramento.
The multitude is here, and hungry
for the feast. The c1amor is really over
the small prospect of satisfying go
many with one small fish and the bro
ken bread of the Governors table.
Will demand create supply? Certainly
a small supply creates large demand,
and prices go up accordingly. To re-
duce prices the rule is 20 increase sup
ply
Have the hungry any right to better
supply? think so. In the distribution
Of public favors the philosophical and
talented men of this coast have not had
proper service; the dish Of patronage
has too often come this way, emptied
of its strong meats, with only the priv
ilege of dipping crusts in the gravy left.
Pass your grand national dish over
to this side of the table once in a
while, President Mckinley, and see
how peaceful our patriots will become
in contemplating their one small fish
and broken bread. Send US over
Cabinet office for q. S. Grant, Jr.; send
US the Mexican diplomatic pie for Judge
Waymire or General Barnes, and some
of the Hawaiian and Philippine sweet
meats for other worthy aspirants. Give
US enough to go around at our end of
the table, and then see how quickly the
price of our one small fish will go down;
how quickly the faithful Will go into
caucus and recognize the local leader
who shall have the fish; how easily the
Governors table will satisfy the multi
tude. Would that be a miracle, or
only a demonstration that republics
need not be ungrateful?

disapprOves of the Sunday saloon by
arrest. Imprisonment and fine Of the

proved in the Monday morning Police
Court. Any class Of citizens wanting
liquor for the Sabbath can provide 1t

in general does not want it, but does
want Sabbath protection by law.
Where the Anglo-Saxon Protestant
faith prevails 1t has it, and the Ameri-

from the Pastoral Letter of the Roman
Catholic Prelafes of the United States,
December, 1884: 1.-The Lords Day:
There are many sad facts in the exper-
store up as lessons of practical wis
dom. Not the least important of these
is the fact that one of the surest marks
and measures of the decay of religion
in a people is their non-observance of
the Lords Day. In travelling through
some European countries, a Christians
heart is panied by the almost unabated
rush of toll and traffic on Sunday.
In this country there are tenden-
cies and influences at work to bring
about a similar result, and it behooves
all who love God and care for society,
to see that they be checked AS usual,

lation for this bill! The people need
and want this law, and thousands of
petitioners are specially asking for it,
Legislators, will you do your duty. and
enact it? All classes of our citizens
need it's protection
Hear from the amusement side of the
question: Some months since it was
proposed to bring a bill before the New
York Legislature permitting theaters
to be opened in that State on Sunday
The Actors Society of America killed
the project at once. Here are some
extracts from a circular letter ad-
dressed by the President of this society
to the clergymen of America: ACTORS

Torrance as a degradation of their call
ing, demoralizing to manhood and
womanhood, and totally destructive to
the opportunities for family reunions.

strength and beauty of the American

The Sunday theatrical performance
is such a radical wrong, so demoraliz-
ing, not only to the actors, but to the
community in which the performance
is given, that I think it should be the
first point of attack If we can check
the demoralizing influence of the Sun
day performance, we may then be in
better position to consider the suppress

DEFENSE OF A SUNDAY LAW.
REPLY TO CRITICISMS By SAN
FRANCISCO PAPERS.
Mrs. Christine Armstrong; Appeal
to Members Of the Leg
is1ature.

The temperance people are at work
endeayoring to have the Legislature
pass a Sunday law Among those
who are here laboring to that end are
Mrs. Sturtevant Peet, State President
of the Women's Christian Temperance
Union. and Mrs. Christine Armstrong,
State Superintendent of Sabbath OBJ
servance.
Mrs. Armstrong has prepared for dis
tribution among the members of the
Legislature letter in reply to certain
newspaper criticisms on the Sunday
law bill introduced by Senator Simpson,
which was read at the w. c. T. u.
meeting on Tuesday. 1t i; as follows:
PLEA FOR THE SABBATH.
Senator Simpson of quiet Pasadena
wants a Puritan Sunday Theodore
Roosevelt gave the City of New YORK
Just the Sabbath that this bill asks for,
and a grateful and wise people elected
him Governor of the State 1t is
historical fact that every statesman
that has attained eminence in the Unit
ed States, Charles Sumner excepted,
has been an advocate of Sabbath pro-
lection by law. The newspapers fear
that the drug store and the Jew would
control the sale of liquor on the Sab
bath, is groundless. The Seventh Day
Baptist, the Adventist and the Jew are
religious sects, and would not open
saloon on any day of the week. But
there are exceptions to all rules, and a
Jew in the State of Alabama was ar
rested and tried for selling liquor on
the Lords day. The court states it
briefly, thus: 1.-The defendant is found
guilty of selling intoxicating liquors on
the Lords day, contrary to the provis-
ions of Statute 1868, Chap. al. He
has license but by section 10, the Ii
cense does not authorize him to sell on
that day But he offered to- prove that
he was Jew, conscientiously believ-
ing that the seventh day of the week
Is the Sabbath. His conscientious be-
lief might protect him from prosecu-
tion for violating the provisions of
Gen. Stat Chapter "a, by acts of secu-
lar labor on the Lords day (see Section
81, provided he violated no other law
But it is no excuse for his violating the
laws respecting the sale of intoxicating
liquors"
In the case of the drug store: 1t is
open for medicinal sales in cases of
necessity, but liquors and other articles
of sale are prohibited The newspa-
pers' only expressed anxiety is for the
sale of liquor on the Sabbath. Does
the public approve of such sales? That

WARMING TO THE PUBLIC.

THE MANAGER OF THE CLUNIE
Opera House desires to protect the public
against ticket scalpers in the Warde,
James, Kidder engagement. The only
practicable method he can adopt is to
limit the sale of seats to one person:
Therefore no more than four seats will
be sold to any one person for any one
performance. But the management re-
serves the right to make exceptions to the
rule in cases of citizens whom it knows
will not abuse the privilege, or play into
the hands of scalpers, against whom the
public is hereby WARNED.

and it will continue to do SO in the
future. But we would feel that we
were untrue to our readers and
derelict in our duty to the public,
if we did not sound note of warn
ing when bonded debt is about to
be fastened upon the school district
without adequate returns for the
amount invested. Some time ago
when the school board wanted to
build an addition to the west side
school building, we favored the
proposition, because we realized the
necessity of more scheol room; later
when the proposition was submitted
to buy the Academy building and
grounds for public school purposes,
we supported it, because the proper
ty was cheap and we'll located, and
in spite OF the active opposition of
every member of the school board
that submitted it. it came within a
few votes OF carrying by the require d
two thirds majority. In our judg.
ment, and we believe, and the vote
demonstrated, it is the judgment of
the majority of the people OF the
district, that this is the best location
for another school house, il one is
needed, and undoubtedly the cheap
est property for the purpose in the
district, and it has always been
mystery to US and others the bitter
opposition of certain parties to this
property.

Ia asking the school district to
boHd itself for ten thousand dollars,
the board should have stated in the
call how much the new site is to
cost; how much the building to be
erected thereon is to cost, the size
OF the building, the material to be
used, etc. How many additional
rooms to be added to the east side
building, and the probable costs of
the heaters. These gentlemen should
know that it is always best to trust
the people. They havs ideas of
their own and are very apt to exer-
else them in this instance.

oHIossTREET IMPROVEMENT.

The TINES pointed out last week
that in srdsr to make ths present
effort to macadamizs Ohio street a
success, it was necessary for the
property owners on that street to
be liberal in their donations. It
can hardly be called q donation,
either, considering that such an i'm
proYement would enhance the value
OF the property, therefore it is sim
ply an investment. We opposed
the plan OF compelling the property
owners to bear the full burden of
this work, but some, and we are
glad to say but a small per cent,
have been SO niggardly in their sub.
scriptions, while the business men
and citizens generally have bean so
liberal, that if this effort falls
through, we now announce our in
tsntion OF not opposing the forcing
of property owners to bear all
the expense of the work. This
seems harsh, but when we consider
business man, with sixty feet resi-
denee property fronting on this
street, subscribing the pittsnce of
Ave dollars, we think we are justified
in being harsh. Most Of the prop
erty owners, however, have been
very liberal, some of them even
guaranteeing the full amount Of the
cost in front of their property,
others are giving the widows mite,
all they are able to give. OF these
no fault can DO found.
The present plan of maeadanIzing
this street, is, in our judgment, the
best ever offered to our psople, and
we say to these property owners,
who are stumbling blocks in the
way, that you are but adding bur
dens upon yourself, for there is
legal way of compelling you to do
this work yourself, and this will
surely be applied if this effort to do
the work by subscription fails.
