of battery, and convicted. The cases had
been continued from time to time by
Judge Cravens on account of the absence
of the prosecuting witness, a man named
Baldwin. The defense endeavored to in
duce the Court to dismiss the charges, but
Judge Cravens would not consent to it,
stating that there was cause to believe
that the defendants had persuaded Bald
win to leave the city, r.na he intended to
bring him back if it was possible. On
Baldwin's testimony yesterday the two
men were convicted. They will be sen
tenced to-day.

corner of Tenth and X streets, for the pur
pose of making arrangements for holding
memorial services in memory of their
illustrious comrade, General W. T. Sher
man.
Quartermaster H. Bennett, of Sumner
Post, called the meeting to order. After
a few brief remarks by several of the
comrades, it was unanimously agreed to
| hold such services as would be appro
priate for the occasion. A sub-committee,
consisting of comrades George W. Ficks,
| C. H. Stupheiison and J. S. Easterbrook,
I was appointed to arrange for a hall and
I also for an orator to deliver the eulogy.
Yesterday the committee secured the
Sixth-street M. E. Church for Sunday
j evening. An invitation was then ox
j tended to Congressman W. W. Bowers,
who served under General Sherman dur
ing the late war, to deliver the eulogy.
The invitation was accepted. The com
mittee next waited on Governor Mark
ham and invited him to preside. The
Governor kindly consented, saying that
he considered it a high privilege to join
I with his old comrades in paying the high
est tribute that the living can' bestow to
the memory of such an illustrious per
sonage.
The Pioneers, Sons of Veterans and the
dilferent organizations of ladies associa
ted with the Grand Army of the Republic

TOO MANY PATIENTS.'
Dr. Whit© Says the Connty Hospital
Needs Enlarging.
A proposition will be presented to tho
Board of Supervisors at its next session
to have the County Hospital enlarged. It
is a well-known fact that for the past two
or three years the hospital has been over
crowded, especially in winter, arid the
demands for admittance are still increas
ing.
Dr. White, Superintendent of the hos
pital, was in town yesterday, and, in con
versation with a Record-Union reporter,
said: "It cannot be denied that sooner or
later the county will have to add a new
wing to the building, so as to give us
more room. The hospital will accommo
date comfortably about 170 patients, and
no more should bo crowded in. But as it
is now we have about 215 out there almost
constantly, and you can imagine the
crushing and economizing of space that
has had to be resorted to. It is not right,
and it is bad for the patients. I think
that when the Supervisors see the condi
tion of affairs out there they will make
the improvements necessary."
Farmers' Alliance.
Union Farmers' Alliance was organized
Thursday evening with the following
temporary officers: C. A. Hull, Presi
dent; H. W. Johnson, Vice-President; W.

side of Sacramento County for the next
thirty days, as far north asVolsom. State
Deputy Cook will visit all the alliances in
tlie northern part of the county east of
the Southern Pacific Railroad during
next week.

TEACHERS' PENSION BILL.
Professor Raymond's Argument in
Support Thereof.
The recultar Relations Existing Be
tween the Government and Teach
ers In the Public Schools.
Following are the remarks of W. H. V.
Raymond, editor of the State series of
text-books, before the Joint Legislative
Committees on Education on Tuesday
evening:
I shall not attempt a discussion of the
sections of this lull in detail. lam con
cerned only with the principle of it. In
this country the proposition of this bill,
though a settled policy in some other
countries, is somewhat unfamiliar, and
for this reason the ground on which it
rests should be carefully considered.
It is sometimes said, "If we are to pen
sion teachers, why not pension editors,
doctors, farmers, mechanics, or any other
good citizens who do honest work in their
particular industrial niche?"
It is freely conceded in the outset that
if a pension for the teacher rests upon the
same or upon a like foundation as that
for other workers, it is on made earth and
not on solid bottom.
But it does not rest on the same or on
a like foundation. It does not rest on
j good work or good citizenship. This
] ground may lie occupied in common by
j liie teacher, the preacher, the farmer, or
I the street scavenger. A pension for the
| teacher rests on no natural claim what
ever; it rests on the relation which the
laws of the State have created between his
work and the Government—a peculiar
relation that does not exist between Gov
ernment and any other business naturally
belonging to private enterprise.
I think it is an undeniable proposition
that any public service rendered by invi
tation of the .State through its laws, with
compensation fixed by the State, and
I containing for such length of time and for
such sinallness of compensation that a
competence for old age cannot, as a rule,
be acquired under it, entitles the perspn
rendering such service to some degree of
public care when it is completed.
The service of the public school teacher
fits into this proposition exactly. It is
| rendered by invitation of the State and
| its compensation is lixed by the public.
Moreover it is fixed at bo low a figure
that if the service is continued to outage
(and long service is encouraged because
of the value of experience) it is only in
rare instances that the servant is able to
acquire in it a competence for his declin
ing years.
This is the peculiar relation existing
between the body of public school teach
ers on the one hand and tho Government
on the other—a relation unlike that exist
ing between the Government and any
other class of private citizens or any other
naturally private business.
lint there is another aspect of this rela
tion which emphasizes the obligation oft he
State. It is this: In establishing the pub
lic school system the State has instituted
the most gigantic trust, combine, monop
oly in the history of the world. It has put
into it an amount of capital and organ
ized it with a thoroughness of detail that
simply strangle competition. Tho man or
woman who would engage in the busi
ness of teaching must engage with the
State. More than nine-tenths of all the
j teaching work of the State is controlled
;by the State. For this service, therefore,
nine out of every ten persons can look to
no other employer. The State has forced
them into her service. Virtually she has
said to them, "Engage with me or quit
the business." Does she thereby incur
no peculiar obligation to this class of hex
citizens? Is her relation to them the
same as that toward the doctor, tho me
chanic, the farmer?
Nor is the case of the State bettered be
eauso this monopoly differs in its reason
from other monopolies. Indeed, it may
be pertinent to inquire into the reason for
its creation, to ask why, in this particular
| instance, the State has ventured so Jar to
! depart from tho ordinarily accepted func
tions of government? Why has she cre
ated this colossal monopoly? I will not
attempt for myself to answer. I will read
to you the answer given by tho people of
the State themselves in their organic Act
of Government. Article IX., Section 1:
"A general diffusion of knowledge and
intelligence being essential to the pre
servation of the rights and liberties of the
people, the Legislature shall encourage
by all suitable means the promotion of
intellectual, scientific, moral and agricult
ural improvement."
For this avowed reason, then, no less
a reason than the high and sacred pur
pose "to preserve the rights and liberties
of the people," has the State felt justified
in emasculating a private business,
erecting in its place a giant monopoly,
employing its servants, arbitrarily fixing
their compensation, and demanding a
high educational qualification. Does not
the reason for the monopoly increase tho
obligation of its founders?
When all these facts arc taken into con
sideration must it not be conceded that In
coming.to you with tins bill these serv
ants do not come as the wards of the
State, asking that they may share in the
charity you so bounteously bestow upon
the public wards, but as creditors of the
State, asking only what is due? Aside
from all the other questions involved,
does not the question of State honor and
State integrity rise into commanding and
supremo importance? Does not this
question determine the issue, and deter
mine it for the principle of this bill?
_____
CLUB PARTY.
The Amlco Closes its Season of Dances
Ijist Evening.
Turner Hall was the scene of one of the
most enjoyable dancing parties given this
season. It was the closing party of tho
Amico Club's term of dances, and the
members resolved to spare no pains to
make tho affair a success, and a fitting
close to a season that has been a pleasure
to every one connected with the club.
The committee of arrangements, with the
assistance of several ladies, certainly suc
ceeded in its endeavor to eclipse all former
efforts. The hall was decorated—not
1 gorgeously, but tastefully—with wreaths
of evergreens, llowers and drapings, ana
I the stage was completely hidden in a
I bower of palms, evergreens and potted
plants. An orchestra of seven pieces sup
plied the music for the dancers. The offi
cers of the club were: President, Henry
Kleinsorge;Vice-President, Fred. Smith;
Secretary and Treasurer, W. B. Kellogg-
Floor Director, Clark Williams.
Besides the spectators, there were pres
ent the following young ladies and gen
tlemen, who enjoyed themselves in danc
ing during the evening: Misses Mabel

AMUSEMENTS
Not so large an audience as on the first
evening, but still a large and a repre
sentative audiencfe witnessed the produc
tion by the Warde-Bowers Company last
night at the Metropolitan Theater, of
"The Merchant of Venice," the piay clos
ing with the trial scene, and Garriek's
acting version of "Katharine and Petru
chio," from "The Taming of the Shrew."
Mr. Warde's Shylock was a masterly
personation and emphasized the estin»aie
of his tine abilities, which the RjSOOBD-
Ukios made yesterday. Mrs. Bowers'
Portia rivaled the Shylock of her
colleague It was a finished inter
pretation of one of Shakespeare's
most beautiful conceits. The reading
of the apostrophe to mercy, was one of
the rarest of line dramatic efforts, and
was, wo think, the best ever given here.
For it had more of the character of the
delivery of the advocate and less of the
declamatory, than the reacting of the
lines by those who have preceded the lady
on the Metropolitan stage. In "Katharine
and Petruchio" Mr. Wiude's vesatility
wasexemplified. Miss Coggswell made a
handsome and tempestuous Katharine,
Jep masculine in manifestation than
most, and thoroughly womanly. If it
lacked in vigor, there was compensation
in the femininity and girlish willfulness of
the character as drawn by Miss Coggs-
Avell. This afternoon at 2 o'clock, by gen
eral request, "Henry VIIL," in which
success was achieved Thursday nighi,
will be'played, in which Mr. Warde,
Mrs. Bowers, Miss CoggswelL
Mr. Herman, Mr. Turner, and
the fall support will appear.
It is improbable that an opportunity will
be given again in years to witness here at
a matinee the production of this seldom
piayed work of Shakespeare. To-night
will close the engagement with "Mac
beth," by many Shak-jsperian scholars
deemed the most subtilo and finished
work of the greatest of dramatists. For
the matinee a .special scale of prices of
admission has been adopted: For adults,
§1 to the lower section, and 50 cents to tho
gallery; for children, 50 cents in any part
of the house. There will be made no
charge for reserving soatd, and the box
oilice will be open early this morning.
Boxer Bill Hall and three other "cullud
gon'lmen" will mount skates at the rink
to-night and engage in a "potato race"
for a purse. It, promises to be a most
amusing contest, in connection with
this event there will be v grand march of
skaters and a mile race between local two
experts.
The skaters are all preparing for the
big carnival which takes place next
\\ cdncsday evening. This will probably
be the last event at the rink this year as
the season closes with this month.
The re-appe^nincc of Slater, tho mys
terious medium, last night at Pythian
Castle, was not auspicious. When u,c
time arrived for the medium to begin his
entertainment, he went upon the stage
and complained of being unwell, lie
said he was sun: he could not get the
'spirits" together, and consequently
could not give the audience a satisfactory
entertainment, lie promised, however,
to be in good working order to-night, and
then refunded the audience's money.
The box-sheet for the Goodyear, Elitc.h
& Schilling Minstrels' engagement opens

Escaped From tho Chain-Gang.
Two prisoners escaped from the chain
gang yesterday wlule the gang was at
work on a ditch at the County Hospital.
Their names were Madisou and Cole.
The officers in charge of the prisoners, M.
