INCARCERATION OF MR. RtlEF
Yesterday's dispatches say that Mr.
Abraham Ruef *u no', used as a wit
ness in the rord case, at San Francisco,
but was allowed by the court to be
takeD out of the city jail and again
placed in a private residence under
guard.
A gullded cage bents the bird of tine
plumage. But as men go, when it be
comes necessary to cage them up, the
very fact which warrants their captiv
ity strips the situation of all consider
ation a> to the guilding.
It is held to be a mauer of constitu
tional right thn an American citizen
is not to be deprived of his liberty
without due process of law: and behind
this, again, there is the maxim- -almost
an axiom? that the law is no respecter
of persons. So we have come to the
theory, if not to the practice, that
when a nun is convicted of crime he
becomes a ward of the state, to be held
in durance vile, without distinction as
to his wealth, his former life and hab
its, or as to the spectacular character
of his criminal career. Whether he
has been an iron molder or the molder
of a fraudulently begotten fortune;
whether he has been accustomed to
live on a $1 a day or on $100 a day;
whether? if he is a thief? his particu
lar line has been highway robbtry or
polite bribetaking or blick mailing
according to theory, as we assert, it is
all one with the state.

But unfortunately for tbe respect
which every man should entertain for
law and its enforcement, we permit our
theory to be belied in practice. At San
Francisco there is a g laring instance of
this sort. Abe Ruef since tbe con
fession of bis crime has been magnif
icently housed in a residence that was
formerly the domicile of the Mayor.
Here, as the report goes, Mr. Ruef has
enjoved all the conveniences, comforts,
luxuries to which, in his mode of
spending the proceeds of blackmail, he
has become accustomed. Naturally a
good many people have hinted that this
did not appear to be quite as it should
be. This hint reached the ears of the
court that committed Ruef; and the ju
dicial conscience being touched, it
ordered that he be sent forthwith to
tbe common jail, to there enduie, as he
might, the discomfitures of that equal
ity which crime establishes in the eye
of the law.
But it further appeared tliat tne des
ignated place for the retention of com
mon criminal* "is not fit for a dog to
lire in,'' whereon Ruef, whose crimin
ality is not of the common brand, after
a brief, disagreeab'e lingering, is once
more ensconsed in fashionable quarters,
in the enjoyment of the creature com
forts and luxuries for which he has the
money to pay.
Thus in the period of the Ruef de
cline is there a streak of goixl fortune.
But when we come to explain the mat
ter to ourselves or to apologize to the
unfortunate thieves in that San Fran
cisco bast ile which is not tit for the
habitation of a dog, what shall be the
form of our explanation or of our ex
cuse? Shall we s??y for this lapse in
the even-handed operation of the law
that, though we regret it, necessity
compels us to extend indulgent favor to
crime, provided it be clothed in broad
cloth ?

in his penniless condition, he can still

ro the doctors told me my kidndys were
in bad *hape. I came west on account
of the trouble, thinking a change of
climate would help me but no'hing I
did Rave me relief in spite of the use 0
remedies and medical treatment. On
procuring Doao's Kidney Pills, I found

At the time I got them 1 was suffering
from an intense t urning sensation as
if two live coals were placrd direct

the kidnevs were the color of strong
black coffee and of a bad odor. After

SCW ERUPTIONS
Itched Constantly? Scratched Until
Blood Flowed? Suffered 10 Years
?Doctors and Medicines Were
Fruitless? Tries Cuticura and Is
Completely Cured
BY THREE BOXES OF
CUTICURA OINTMENT
"When I was about nine years old
small sores appeared on each of my
lower limbs. I scratched them with a
brass pin and
shortly afterwards
both of those limbs
became so 6ore that
I could scarcely
walk. When I had
been Buffering for
about a month the
sores began to heal,
but small scaly
eruptions appeared
where the sores had
been. From that
timo onward I was
troubled by such
severe itching that,
r until I became
accustomed to it, I would scratch the
sores until the blood began to flow.
This would stop the itching for a few
days; but scaly places would appear
again and the itching would accompany
them. After I suffered about ten years
I made a renewed effort to effect a cure.
The eruptions by this time had appeared
on everv part of my body except my
face and hands. The Ixst doctor in my
native county advised mo to uso arsenio
in small doses and a salve. I then used
to bathe the sores in a mixture which
give almost intolerable pain. In addi
on I used other remedies, such as iodino,
sulphur, zinc salvo, 's Salvo,
Ointment, and in fact I was con
tinually giving some remedy a fair trial,
never using less than one or two boxes or
bottles. AH this was fruitless. Finally
my hair began to fall out and I was rapidly
becoming bald. I used 's ,
but it did no good. A few months after,
having used almost everything else, I
thought I would try Cuticura Ointment,
having previously used Cuticura Soap
and being pleased with it. After using
three boxes I was completely cured,
and my hair was restored, after fourteen
years of suffering and an expenditure of
at least $50 to $00 in vainly endeavoring
to find a cure. I shall bo glad to wrije
to any one who may be interested in
my cure. B. Hiram Mattingly, Ver
