SAN LEANDRo IN UPRoAR.

OAKLAND, Aug. 24.-The town of
San Leandro has been torn wide open
over the matter of a saloon license. Pol
itics. religion and personality have
been brought into the case The Town
Trustees have refused the license. and
now there are threats of a suit to oust
them from office for failure to perform
their duties in accordance with their
oaths.
The trouble all came because John
Marshall asked for a license TO sef1
liquor in the Nevin building. This ap-
plication was bitterly fought by Joseph
Herscher, one time Town Treasurer and
now a wholesale liquor merchant In San
Francisco. Herscher produced town
ordinance which provided that no liquor
license should be granted within SEQ
feet of church. The man who wanteti
the license said that there was no church
in his neighborhood, and then Joseph
Herscher showed that there was "a
small building near there that had once
been used as a Jewish synagogue Mar
shall denied that this was true. aud
said that services had not been held
there for two wears. Herscher showed
that a congregation of Hebrews had
held services there within the last few
weeks Marshall retaliated by declar-
ing that there had been no meetings
since the agitation for the license be-
gan, and that Joseph Herscher, the nlari
who was fighting his license. was the
only minister that the little synagogus
ever had.
The fight came to a head At the last
meeting OF the Town Trustees. when
the license was denied. Trustees Bar
beru, Hoerst and Lynch voting against
1t, Best being absent and Gill being for
the license.
Marshall has given notice through ms
attorney. r. II. Duke. that he Will nsnt
the matter. He declares that there are
already three saloons in San Leandro
running within 500 feet OF church
and that the present board has grant
ed licenses for these. He now intends
to sue the town board to have the
members removed for having granted
these licenses In violation of the or
dipauco

A Reckoning at Hand.

There ia a promise of a day OF reck,
oning being near at hand. A sign in
dicating this possibility is the distem-
per which is being manifested by men
of professional standing in New Orleans
who, in abiding to the yellow fever
calamity, indulge in epithets which, it
not Cllesterfieidian i'm style, are direct
and positive. Such words as 'lies" and
'liars". and unpleasant illusions re-
f1ecting on State and local authorities,
are forecasts Of some commGtion. Let
it come. The people doubtless have
been the victims Of i~ncompetency, il not
negligence and c~ussedness. The people
will welcome the upheaval. Let no man
escape upon whom the responsibility
should rest.-Shreveport Caucasian.
