THE CALHOUN JURY

The attitude of the jury in the Calhoun case must be very discourag- ing to the prosecution. Whether or not the vote of ten to two represented accurately the sentiments of the jury with respect to the guilt or innocence of Calhoun it may be assumed to represent fairly the sentiment of San Francisco with regard to the prosecu- tion of him, and all future juries which may be summoned to try him will have to be drawn from that community. It has become there not so much a question whether Calhoun bribed the supervisors as whether the motives of the prosecution are pure and honest. The large majority of the jury evidently thought they were not.
 Long ago it began to find lodgment in the public mind that the prosecu- tion of Ruef and Schmitz was nec- essarily preliminary to the prosecu- Llon Ol CdlIlOuIs lIldl llDSt StbuIlul tiS would have been passed over if they were not necessary to the plans with respect to the head of the United Railroads. It came to be remembered that MT Spreckels, who had sud denly become so solicitous of the good name of San Francisco, had lived many years uncomplaining amid the reeking stench and corruption. There grew a suspicion that his sense of smell acquired delicacy when he saw Calhoun in his way to the control of the traction business of his beloved city.

FREE OR PROTECTED HIDES.

Many of the gentlemen who are declaring their undying allegiance to the sacred principle of protection are doing more to destroy that principle and so-called tariff reformers in years. We are especially minded of this by the attitude of the eastern and especially some of the New Eng land senators on the hides schedule of the tariff. They clamor loudly for the protection of the shoe manufac- turing industry and for all the leather industries, but they are not satisfied with making the consumers all over the land pay for that protection but they propose now to increase the profits of the leather making busi- ness at the expense of the western farmer and cattleman.
 They speciously observe that it will not hurt the farmer to put hides on the free list since the beef trust al- ready absorbs the protection which the Dingley law is supposed to give the producer of hides.
 Assuming that that is true, and it is not violent assumption, nobody believes that the beef trust would be content with a less measure of absorption than it now enjoys and with hides on the free list the price of them would be reduced by just as much as the tariff would be re- duced. The producer is the only man who cannot help himself; the only one who is without recourse.
 The manufacturers from the ear Hest times have been especially fav- ored by protection. Their growth under it's cherishing influence has been good thing for the whole coun- try and will still be a good thing so long as labor and producers of raw material share the benefits of protection. But when all the bene- fits are diverted from every other class of producers to manufacturers, the principle of protection will vanish.

But we cannot agree with White Man and Taxpayer" in his effort to make a race question out of the business of dog catcher. The dog catcher is as liable to belong to one race as to another-as likely to be free born "Englishman." The extremely low average is about the same in all races.

Animal Superstition.
he Wide World Magazine.

From the Wide World Magazine.
The natives of the Island OF Bali. in
the Dutch East Indies. have peculiar su-
perstitions about animals. Dogs. for in
stance. are never destroyed. and, much
to the annoyance of the European resi-
dents, the pariahs are allowed to increase
to an unlimited extent. According to
Balinese ideas, dogs are the reincarna-
ton OF those of their poorer brethren who
were buried after death instead OF being
cremated. which is the more luxurious
method Of getting rid of the dead. To
kill dog, therefore, is as great sin as
killing a poor fellow-creature. With re-
gard to the tiger. the natives believe that
that animal is also the reincarnation OF
another caste of the community. and
nothing will induce them to shoot 1t.
They tell, with great impressiveness, the
story of an old Balinese man who once
came face to face with tiger in the
jungle. Gazing at the monster fixedly. he
addressed it as follows: What have
done to thee that thou lookest so fero-
riously at me? Have I ever done thee
any harm: and art thou not my brother
clad in the skin of tiger? 1 pray thee
go thy way In peace and leave me alone"
Thereupon, it is said, the tiger turned
tail and walked away majestically into
the depths Of the jungle
