  • The San Francisco call (San Francisco, Calif.) 1895-09-11 ...€¦ · The Valkyrie is at any rate...
1
Well done, Sacramento. The new movement is electrical. The new Sacramento will call herself the Electri City. Our trust is still in the aluminum and the Yankee crew. It is to be a new era in motive power as well as public sentiment. Democracy is watching Commissioner Stanton with bated breath. This is the time to begin enterprises and start in with the rising tide. The Valkyrie is at any rate good enough to make things interesting. The thing that Dunraven had up his sleeve was evidently a laugh. The Native Son illustrates the State and the Native Daughter illumines it. The pioneers and natives have had their day of glory and a glorious day it was. If Cleveland picked up Secretary Morton for a mascot he has been bitterly deceived. Hardly a week passes in this country without the opening of a convention some- where. If the Railroad Commissioners really get to work they will,literally, fill a long- felt want. It is time for Commissioner Clark to stand up squarely and .let the people see his attitude. Let us hope tire Sutro Library building will soon get out ol the air and take shape on a solid foundation. If Mayor Sutro shies a veto at the high tax levy he will make a hit, even if it doesn't bring it down. IfNew York loses the cup San Fran- cisco may go to England and bring it over to this side of the world. Louisville seems to have captured the Grand Army and made the veterans feel at home on the first whirl. Campbell accepted the Democratic nomi- nation in Ohio under pressure, but it is still doubtful if he thinks he is really run- nine. To entertain 30,000 visitors in the way she did gives Sacramento a right to call herself a capital city in every sense of the word. Gilroy made such a success of Admission day that we may expect her to come into the ring among the carnival towns of the State. _ Maryland voters are beginning to under- stand that the only sure way to get rid of Gormanism is to vote the Republican ticket. There has been another batch of horrors in Armenia and still the European nations hesitate to tell the Turk to get off that por- tion of the earth. Judging by her newspapers, Boston seems to have acquired the convention habit this summer to the degree of an actual dissipation. Keir Hardie is another British agitator who willgo home and say Chicago is hell, simply because he succeeded in raising it while he was there. » The project of bringing the Republican National Convention to San Francisco is moving forward steadily and lots of strong men are pushing it along, One reason why the United States has no right to interfere in Armenian affairs is that she has not yet made any attempt to prevent massacres in Cuba. Before the Commissioners take action in reducing railroad rates they should put on record a body of evide.ice sufficient to sus- tain the action before the courts. Take notice that the United Press gives the best reports of all events and that The Call is the only morning paper in the City that has the United Press dispatches. Japan has just enough of a war in For- mosa to keep her army m good exercise, while leaving her free to spend the Chi- nese indemnity in buying American war- ships toperfect her navy. Although American travel to Europe was larger this year than ever before, there was a decrease in the number of visitors to Yellowstone Park, which looks very much as if Americans with money enough to travel hadn't brains enough to know which way to go. The effort to bring the Republican Na- tional Convention to San Francisco is the fi:st enterprise in which the whole of the Greater West has been unitedly engaged, and with energetic leadership on our part there is every reason to believe it can be made successful in itself ana the promise of greater successes to come. _— ' — : . ; The announcement that the Mechanics' Fair may be continued for another week, instead of closing on Saturday, as at first arranged, will be received with more than ordinary satisfaction. The fair contains many exhibits that constitute important object lessons in California industries and the longer it is open the greater ia the work done in the way of popular educa- tion. IS ME. OLAKK BUS?? Railroad Commissioners La Rue and Stanton have attracted all the attention which has been devoted to that board of late, and Commissioner Clark has re- mained in the background. This means to say that Commissioner La Rue first pro- posed a certain reduction of freight rates which concerned wheat only, and that Commissioner Stanton has come forward with a resolution which makes Commis- sioner La Rue's proposition appear insig- nificant in comparison, because Commis- sioner Stanton proposes to reduce all rates to conform to the pledge which he took be- fore the convention that nominated him. In this measure he has announced his in- tention to give the Southern Pacific Com- pany credit for the voluntary reductions which it made in the latter part of 1894. This proposition seems to have set Com- missioner La Rue to thinking. In any event it seems that Commissioner La Rue's resolution to reduce the wheat tariff cannot be carried, and that Commissioner Stanton's scheme for a general reduction on all transportable commodities is not in- tended to be made effective until the Ist of next January, when every possible article of the current year's products will have been shipped. However futile and idle the apparent efforts of these two Democratic members of the board may seem they may never- theless prove to have a certain political value. The public is not insensible to the fact that seven months had elapsed be- tween the election of the members and their assumption of the obligations which they assumed, and that such assumption was coincident with the severe castigatlon which the local press administered to tbe commission on the score of its indolence. Seemingly, under the influence of that prodding the two Democratic Commission- ers, who constitute the majority of the board, and who were bound under specific pledges to make a reduction, came forward with certain limping propositions, the ulti- mate result of which is not to be felt until the crops of the current year have been moved. While the people of the State are awake to the sham of all these proceed- ings, they still remember that Commis- sioner Clark is a member of the board, and they observe with amazement that he has not made even a pretense of an endeavor to serve the interests of the people. As the representative of the Republican party Mr. Clark has been elected to an op- portunity for announcing the policy of that great organization. We all know that he was not elected under a pledge, we know equally well that the party which elected him pledged its history and its faith in presenting him as a candidate, and that in securing his election itreposed the reputation of the party in his hands. Has he kept this great faith? Has he made any attempt to show that as a repre- sentative of the Republican party he has aimed to be a representative of the people? Has he given any evidence that he desires to be known as a student of the needs of the people? On the contrary, is it not clear that he has done nothing whatever, but has left the fight to his political antag- onists in the board, and so has connived in a scheme to obscure the political force of the party which he represents and leave all the glory to the other side? These are questions wiiich Mr. Clark has an oppor- tunity to answer with actions — unless, in- deed, itis too late. All good citizens are anxiously awaiting a response from him. AN OAKLAND EXAMPLE. The lottery has been scotched, but not killed. Suppressed in many places, it con- tinues to find other channels through which to exert its pernicious influence and accomplish its evil results. It is evident the war upon it cannot be relaxed for a moment, and that if we expect to further diminish the evil we must improve our laws so as to forbid any kindof advertising for the nefarious traffic either before or after the drawing?. In the Police Court of Oakland last week there was an illustration of the injury which the lottery works in the commu- nity. A man. reported to be a good work- man, and who has had steady employ- ment, was brought before the court to an- swer the charge of having threatened his wife with a carving-knife and driven her from the house. The man, it seems, was under the influence of liquor when he committed the offense, but his wife stated he was a complete slave to the Chinese lottery game, and all his money was thus gambled away, leaving the family desti- tute and the home miserable and wretched. There are ruined homes, broken man- hood and families made wretched by lot- teries that never come before the Police Courts. The full extent of the misery, wrong and suffering brought about by the insidious evil will never be known to the public. We can only be sure that the evil which ia known is only an evidence of a greater extent of cvii unknown, and on that surety do what we can to put an end to it. It is the opinion of the police that the lottery evil would die of itself if it were not agaiu and again nursed into life by the publication of al- leged profits drawn and distributed. These publications excite the minds of those given to delnsive hopes, and they re- turn once more to squander their honest earnings upon dishonest games, giving to the sport of swindlers what should be the comfort and maintenance of the home. To put a stop to that pernicious advertis- ing is, therefore, the next step to be taken in the contest with the eyil, and we trust it will not be wholly in vain that we call upon our contemporaries to join with us in refusing to subordinate the power of the press to the money of swindlers, or to serve them as a medium for carrying their lying enticements into the homes of the people. _^__________ THE CHINATOWN WAE. The struggle which has been proceeding for several weeks in Chinatown between rival organizations illustrates the im- punity with which the Chinese may vio- late our laws. If such a wrangle had oc- curred between rival bodies of American citizens the jails would have been long ago crowded with the offenders. The failure of the authorities to cope with the situa- tion in Chinatown does not mean a fault on their part. They find themselves con- fronted by a peculiar order of foreigners, who not only scorn our country, our people and our laws, but who by reason of their strange tongue and the extraordinary secrecy with which they can conduct their lawlessness have every possible advantage over white men in the commission of un- lawful acts. The situation in Chinatown is this: Some weeks ago a member of one of the societies murdered a member of another society. Up to that time there had been no enmity between the societies. Usually when a murder is committed, reprisal is taken by the murder of any member of the society to which the murderer belongp, but the present case is different. Retalia- tion by murder has not been resorted to. partly for the reason that the fight is not between societies of professional black- mailers and murderers, but between two large organizations which comprehend all elements, and embrace nearly the whole population. Instead of murder, therefore, the ag- grieved society has instituted a vicious and ruinous boycott against the one whose member committed the murder. As the boycotting society is numerically much larger than the other, and as the boycotted society controls most of the shops, the gravity of the situation may be inferred. The boycott is enforced with ex- treme rigidity. Any member of the boy- cotting society who makes a prohibited purchase is not only robbed of what he buys, but is fined $20 for each dollar of his purchase, and is given a whipping besides. The laws would not tolerate these out- rages if they were committed by American citizens. The representatives in America of the Chinese Government have sent a strong official to assist the local Consul in sup- pressing the boycott, but instead of calling in the local American authorities to their aid these functionaries are attempting, as the Chinese in America always attempt, to settle their affairs in accordance with their own laws and customs and to the com- plete ignoring of our institutions. As a result they are making no headway against the heavy odds which confront them, and the situation is not only grow- ing worse here, but the boycott is extend- ing all over the State. If this does not soon lead to a bloody war of these aliens on American soil we mistake the temper of the Chinese and the signs which they are giving. Meanwhile is it not possible for the American authorities to intervene and stop the disgraceful proceedings? Is our local government too weak to cope with the evil '? Can any band of aliens come to this country and organize a lawless strug- gle on our soil without our intervention? If our local authorities are not able to handle the matter, and if the dignified gentlemen who are the accredited agents of China to the United States hold them- selves aloof from the relief which our peace oilicers and courts should be able to afford, it seems time that the citizens themselves ascertain what they might be able lawfully and peacefully to do in the premises. _______________ PLAIN TALKS WITH FARMERS The argument, beginning last week and running through three or four of these letters, may bo summarized as follows: The farmer is at a disadvantage in his material conditions as compared with other property-owning classes because he knows less about his business than they know about theirs. This was not always the case, his relative retrogression being due to the fact that in his isolated life he has not been so well able as others to keep pace with modern progress; that the ten- dency and inevitable result of this condi- tion is to deprive farmers, beginning with the weakest, of their property and reduce thfm to the condition of dependents; that nothing can change that tendency or prevent that consummation except the general diffusion among . farmers of such business education as will prevent them from engaging in un- profitable enterprises; that the cost of the information necessary for the profitable conduct of a farm undVr modern conditions is more than the revenue from the farm will pay after supporting its owner in reasonable comfort, and that the alterna- tive confronting the small farmer is com- bination with ills fellows for educational and other purposes or gradual extinction. I shall develop this argument as closely and concisely as I am able, but the above is its gist, and I do not think there is any doubt about the conclusion — we must unite or die; and as we cannot unite until we fullyunderstand the need of it and learn how. the first problem to be considered is the preliminary education. I showed last week that in so far as the farmer is unfortunate it is due to his ig- norance. Let us now see what must befall him if he does not educate himself; and we must iiniember that nature is relent- less and remorseless; the quality of mercy is unknown to her; she docs not consider abuses but conditions, and whether weak- ness is occasioned by misfortune or per- verseness the penalty is the same and is death. To fullyunderstand this we must leave farm life fora littltfand see what the evolutionists say. Evolutionists are mostly professors, a breed which some of us farm- ers do not esteem very highly, often re- ferring to them as "fellows with a lot of theories," using the term in the contemptu- ous sense of vague speculations with no basis save in the mind of the speculator. This again is because we don't know the science of modern days is built upon facts ascertained and verified with a patience and precision of which we farmers have very little conception. The scientific man does not as we sometimes vainly imagine spend his days ana nights in rapt but dreamy contemplation of the infinite, but, on the contrary, is mostly concerned with minute detail; he dissects polly wogs and extracts the bones from dead and* bad-smelling fish, which he patiently compares with the j>etrined relics and im- prints of those that died years ago. This he does, not because he likes to clean fish or break rock, but because he seeks to learn what has boon the rule of life in all ages, inferring therefrom what now the rule is and what it shall be. The collection of actual facts verified by men trained to ob- serve upon which modern science now rests is amazing and daily the store is in- creased. After some Jives have been spent in gathering and classify i 115: facts in a cer- tain line, the mass begins to take shape so that some law running through it can be apparently discerned, and with that law assumed to be true, more lives are spent in patiently collecting other facts and com- paring them with the assumed law: if all facts as verified harmonize with the work- ing hypothesis, the law is strengthened and gradually tends to become part of settled science; but ifone undoubted es- sential fact be discovered inconsistent with that law, the whole edifice of reasoning is destroyed and the work of rebuilding must be patiently begun. Hence science must, above all things, be sure of its facts, and so endeavors to be. The facts thus collected, verified, classi- fied and analyzed through all time until now show that all life has one law, and this law, at first merely as- sumed, by long continued observations is now considered settled and part of science —one of the things which we know as well as we can know anything in this world; it is a law that has so far run through all time, operates now, and, so far as can be seen or judged, will always operate ; it applies alike to the birds of the air.the trees 01 the forest, the floating " microbes about and to man himself ; it •\u25a0 is universal, unchang- ing- _____ Th is law is that the only condition under which any species can maintain itself is by the introduction of a greater number of individuals than existing conditions will sustain, the survival of the fittest and the death of the unfit. Could this process be checked the species would degenerate be- cause individuals of all species greatly dif- fer in the qualities to secure sustenance from their environment, and were all o prooagate and transmit their qualities alike the total result of vigor would be less than if only the same number of the strongest survived and left descendants, and itis necessary that the aggregate vigor shall constantly increase in order to cope with increasing difficulties caused by the increasing pressure of population. The operation of this law upon man as distinguished from other forms of life is modified by the fact that man has reason. As his numbers press upon the means of subsistence he is able of his own volition to add to those means. The races which have least of this quality die. It is evi- dent that the present population of America could not live without better means of obtaining subsistence than the red Indians had, or have been able to ac- quire. The time will come when existing populations will not be able to subsist without better means than we now have. The present generation has the means to produce comfortable subsistence for all. I do not know that this is or can be scien- tifically settled, but I think no one dis- putes it and I shall assume it. This sub- sistence, however, is very unequally dis- tributed. Looking Into this further we see that in the long run those who know most have most; those who know most about matters which directly concern their own income have most money, accumulating a surplus which they cannbt use ; those who know most about things which affect the incomes of mankind generally have most honor, usually in addition assuring them- selves of comfortable subsistence. Knowl- edge which affects nobody's income is worthless and is not sought. It is best to make clear this money value of knowledge. Of course I know that all 1 can say is admitted in advance, and yet those who admit itmay not after all know it, because real knowledge inevitably in- fluences action. We do not touch a red- hot stove because we know it will burn us. If in that sense we know the danger of ignorance, which is just as real, we would strive for knowledge at any cost. The only real knowledge is that which we habitually and unconsciously act upon. Any so-called knowledge which comes short of that is mere vague impression, unavailable for practical use. Now, al- though it cannot be actually demonstrated, I am sure that the incomes of those en- gaged in any business vary almost in a direct ratio with the number of essential facts pertaining to that business which they know accurately and certainly. Of course it is true that individuals greatly vary in capacity and vigor, but then it is the smart and strong who know. Allthat the weaker and less capable can do to maintain equality is to study more hours—* to toil more nights and days. It is knowledge that brings the income. Farmers are apt to denounce the great salaries paid in some walks of life, but they are nearly always the price paid for knowledge, or sup- posed knowledge, at market rates. The farmer who prefers the life of a banker has merely to know better than any one else what property is safest to lend money on and to make his ability known: some bank will soon want him. Banners are large borrowers, and as they are apt to seek and obtain loans which they have not the knowledge to use wisely, the bank president must he a better judge of the possible profits of farming than the farmer himself, lest the bunk's funds be invested where they cannot be got back when wanted. This means a high salary for the bank officer, which goes to reduce the profit of the farmer, for ignorance must pay its own bills. Iffarmers could know enough about their own business to make loans to them certain to be so wisely used as to pay interest promptly and the prin- cipal at maturity, a cheaper salaried man could lend them" money and the farmer's profits be so much increased. I have said that the most capable know most and consequently get most. For- tunately it is not necessary for us all to know as much as the most capable. Nature requires that we know enough to get a living and kills us if we do not ; but she does not concern herself with great accumulations. If we are strong enough and know enough to make such accumu- lations she (Joes not mind it, and if neces- sary will kill off such weaker ones as may stand in our way; but if we attempt to accumulate beyond our strength she will kill us for that, too. All she requires is that we be warmed and well nourished and our mind 3 kept free from worry, but for the lack of those, whether with or without our own fault, no excuse wiil be taken. Since evolution teaches that the penalty of ignorance is death, it is well to under- stand just what the evolutionist means by death ; we may be dvinjj and not know it. Evidently (he evolutionist does not mean that the ignorant shall fall down in their tracks and give up the ghost, or even that within a short time we 'shall all disappear and leave no sign. He means simply this, that by reason of our ignorance we shall be unfort unate ; being unfortunate we shall be worried; being worried we shall not oe weil nourished ;not being well nourished we shall die before our time, leaving half- nourished and nervous descendants to live still shorter lives, until our names finally perish from the earth. That is what death means to the evolutionist, and itis the process which the ignorant are now going through. We are these atoms in a struggling mass of humanity of whom it is certain that the weakest must die, but amid which it is the highest duty of each one of us to make sure that he* shall live. If we can also aid others to live we shall do yell, but nature does not demand it of us, nor can we do so until we have first satisfied our own debt to the awful force which controls us; but by as much as we maintain or increase our own vigor by so much we add to the aggregate vigor of our race. It is there- fore not. only essential but morally right that up (o a certain point we look out for ourselves; and we are compelled not only to live, but to live up to a certain standard of comfort which is customary among those with whom we mingle. The China- man iives in hanniness and holds his own among the races amid environments which would be death to the American farmer. I have now to disentangle from this seething multitude the farming class, ancT especially the American farmer, in order to note his condition as compared with others of his race, and see whether or not he is holding his own, and ifnot, whether of his own volition he can strengthen himself, recover any ground he may have lost and maintain his position among those who shall live; and as 1 am now considering mankind solely with reference to the relative power of survival I am compelled to make the rather heartless division into owners and non-owners of property, meaning by the latter class those who in the prime of life have not in their posses- sion the means of supporting themselves without serious worry during their years of decline. For the acquisition of the means of subsistence according to one's station in life is not only the best but the only evidence of power of survival. Those who cannot do that may be of the salt of the earth, but they are delivered, over to the bondage of death. The former, from the nature of his business, must be, or ought to be. a property-holder, and I wish here to com- pare him only with other owners of prop- erty. In past years the American farmer has been regarded as the type of an as- sured prosperity within a very moderate range, and his occupation considered as upon the whole the safest to engage in by those who were prepared to be content with abundant nourishment, warm hous- ing and moderate intellectual and social enjoyment, with freedom from serious care. It has been thought that \ipon the whole those who contended for the more brilliant prizes of life, even if they achieved them, paid more for them than they were worth ; much greater the major- ity who strove for them and yet failed. It has been believed that the strain and worry of the severer strife so seriously im- paired their power of survival as to far more than counterbalance any com- forts or enjoyments which they were able to secure. If now, comparing the farmer of to-day with the farmer of half a century since, we find that estimate still hold- ing good, the farmer is still holding his own and need not be discouraged. If, on the contrary, we find habitual worry, care and dependence graaually taking the place of the independence, comfort and security which he formerly enjoyed, then he is losing ground ana must bestir himself. I do not propose to enter upon a detailed comparison of the condition of the farmer as compared with other property-owning classes. Each of my older readeis is as competent as I to compare for himself; I simply record my own judgment, which is that the farmer has ceased to be the in- dependent man whom I knew in my boy- hood. He Is attacked by the care and worry of the business man without the business man's equipment to meet them, and he is losing ground. If lam wron^ I am glad of it,but I shall proceed upon that assumption. Now this decadence of prosperity, in my belief, is entirely unnecessary. The farm is the storehouse of vigor, without which and the application it makes possible there can be no knowledge or the prosper- ity which knowledge brings; from the farm the ranks of the prosperous are being constantly recruited ; the drift of our best into the cities is notorious; farm-boys make the best records in school and in col- lege. Their mother earth has given them the vigor which is the foundation and the means of all progress. We have, then, as farmers the basis of success in the physical strength which makes success possible, and yet we are falling behind in the race. We have the earth and are frittering it away. This matter will bear more examination than I have space for this week, and, while 1 do not propose any detailed comparison of the farmer with other classes, I do think it well to compare him with his forbears of a generation or two ago. This I shall do next week, using as a Ibasis my recollection of two lectures of Professor Boss of Stanford University, delivered at Camp Koache — lectures, by the way, which I hope to some day see printed and in the hands of every farmer. In entering upon that comparison it will be my object to discover and set forth the causes why the farmer of to-day is less happy than the farmer of former days, that we may see how, if in any way, those causes may be removed, and the farmer be enabled to regain his relative position. If we can once be made to see plainly the road by which we passed from properity to misfortune we may find it such that we can retrace our steps upon it. We may be sure of one thing— that if the American farmer was ever prosperous and happy it was because at the time he had all the knowledge which he needed to maintain his power of survival. What our investigation should disclose is why he has not now that knowledge; whether" he can regain it, and, if so, how. Edward F. Adams. IDEAS OF WESTERN EDITORS. California.

It costs something to have an Emperor for a friend. The recent visit of Kaiser William to LordLonadale cost, it is said, $200,000. This is not quite as bad as was the case in which the Duke of Buckingham had Queen Victoria as his guest at Stowe. The costliness of her re- ception was so great as to bankrupt him. Mr. Mackenzie estimates the number of slaves in Zanzibar and the adjoining islands of Pemba, both under British protection, to be 206,000, these being the survivors of over 1,000,000 souls, the others having lost their lives in the course of transit from the places of their capture. Theodore Roosevelt is taking what time he finds free from his cares in Gotham to devote to literature. He is writing, among other things, a book of patriotic stories for young people.

It would be a difficult thing to get anybody to believe that Dr. W. G. Mizner would let a Chinaman slip upon him without raising one or those celebrated rows that follows the "fate- ful Mizner smile." It is nevertheless true that such a thing did occur and according to the doctor's, story very little was said. "I was traveling through China some years ago," said he to tome friends in the Palace grillroom, "and stopped a little while at Can- ton. Of course I wanted to see the city, so I hired a palanquin and went forth into the streets. They are very narrow seldom wider than one can stretch the arms. By some hook or crook it was discovered that I was an Ameri- can. We had gone probably half a block when the sallow brutes deliberately began to spit at me. I had to dodge and duck to escape the charges of tobacco juice, etc., for had I at- tempted to make any protest there would have been a Mizner corpse under the feet of a large portion of three million inhabitants of the city. It was as much as my life was worth to get out and declare war. I had to take it all and get out the best way possible. They smashed the top of my palanquin with bamboo sticks and made remarks that caused the blush to rise to ny cheeks." "Is there no protection for an American there?'' asked one of the doctor's audience. "Absolutely none. Had I been an English- man I would have been treated with respect. They fear the English and laugh at Ameri- cans." "Why is it so?" "Simply because America never protects her citizens if they get Into trouble. On the other hand, England will send relief at once and stand by her subjects. In Canton there is no more respect for the American Consul than there is for a street gamin. They know that if they take liberties with an American who has no particular station in life outside of his own country, America will never lift her finger to demand redress. Now, let's get down to this question ana discuss it. There is a good deal to be said about the matter and let me tell you it's about time to find out where the land of the free and the home of the brave has any jurisdiction. "I know of a man in San Jose de Guatemala by the name of John Magee. He was one day approached by the commandant of the town and asked for a horse. He replied that he needed the horse himself, whereupon the com- mandant ordered him strapped to a post and given liitv lashes. Magee appealed to the English Consul, and in a short time an Eng- lish man-of-war steamed into the harbor and demanded $100,000, or threatened to bom- bard the city. Twenty-four hours' time was allowed, but long before it was up the money was on the deck and Magee got half ofit — the ship the balance. After that incident Magee was granted a concession to build a steel pier out into the ocean, and he charges a cent a pound for every pound of staff imported and exported into the country. He is the big Injun of the place and is greatly respected. "Now take a look at America's policy. Dr. Harry Cross of Stockton went down to Guate- mala, took a photograph of the palace with a camera and was thrown into prison for two weeks. He appealed to the American Consul and got nothing for a reply. "In Acapulco there is a first mate of an Amer- ican ship who shot the second mate in self- defense. All the evidence was clear on that point, but the people there imprisoned him for life and he has been in the place for eight years. Several appeals to the American Gov- ernment nave been fruitless, and the result is that all over the world the foreign policy of America is a laughing stock. I didn't intend to get into this discussion, but what I have said goes, and it is deplorable that a man dare not defend himself in a foreign country for fear that his own Government will not pro- tect him from a life of servitude and imprison- ment. I can't stand it when I think of it. It'« enough to drive an American crazy. Let's get out of here and cool off"; and the "fateful smile was gone to make room for a large ex- pression of disgust. At the Lick House last evening several men were talking about the need for opening up markets outside the State for the food products grown here. "It seems to me that Californians are too much inclined to go ahead and grow something that somebody else is growing. They lose good opportunities, too," said J. A. Finch. "There is no reason why San Fran- cisco should import its eggs and poultry from the East." "Oh, that is such a small matter, and it is such a troublesome business," he was an- swered. "Small matter?" said Mr. Finch. "You are not aware that San Francisco consumed over 7,000,000 dozen eggs last year, and that one- half of them came from the East. Let me give you some figures I have about eggs and poul- try, and you will see that it is one of the greatest ofindustries. "France consumes in eggs and poultry, in value over 337,000,000 francs annually; Eng- land imported from Germany, Belgium. France and Holland $33,500,000 worth of eggs last year; while it is estimated that the United States in 1894 consumed in eggs and poultry in value $750,000 000. All the eggs sold do not go to the restaurants and hotel tables, but are largely used in the manufacture of kid gloves, in book-binding establishments, in finishing fine leather. The calico-print works used 40,000,000 dozen eggs Jast year, and some photographic establishments use over 2,000,000 eggs annually. Wine clarifiers use over 10,000.000 a year. Over half the eggs sold are used in the manufactures; this por- tion of the consumption increases more rap- idly than the table demand, which is the reason so large an average price is paid for eggs to-day. "The poultry business of the Eastern States has become one of the leading industries within the past few years, and for the amount of money invested has paid a larger per cent profit than any other legitimate business known. Nine of our leading Eastern cities consume over $137,000,000 worth of eggs and poultry annually. The industry has grown to such large proportions that some of our lead- ing financiers in the East have gone into the business, employing scientific men to run their plants. The old method oi setting the hen and waiting until she rears her brood has been su- perseded by the incubator and brooder, which enable those engaged in the business to turn out Chickens in all seasons of the year, thereby procuring a large profit. Ninety per cent of alt the poultry consumes in Massachusetts, Con- necticut, New York and New Jersey are raised artificially. "It may surprise you, but it is true, that Call- fornia does not produce more then half her de- mand. Carloads of dressed poultry, and eggs in the same proportion, are shipped here from Kansas City and other Eastern points, which is a reflection upon the California climate and the indifference of her people. Those interested and engaged in horticulture and agriculture would rise up in indignation if the East were to ship two carloads of fruit to San Francisco.bu t here is an industry in which the neglect of the people allows over $1,000,000 to go out of the State annually. Inorder to meet this demand the industry must be run on the same business principles as are used by the successful poul- try-raisers of the East. There are plants inthe East with investments from $10,000 to $150,- --000, which pay large profits, being run on scientific methods." D. \T. O. MIZKEB PROTESTS AGAINST AMEKICA'B FOREIGN POLICY.

Page 1: The San Francisco call (San Francisco, Calif.) 1895-09-11 ...€¦ · The Valkyrie is at any rate good enough tomake things interesting. The thing that Dunraven had up his sleeve

Well done, Sacramento.

The new movement is electrical.

The new Sacramento will call herselfthe Electri City.

Our trust is still inthe aluminum andthe Yankee crew.

Itis to be a new era in motive power aswell as public sentiment.

Democracy is watching CommissionerStanton with bated breath.

This is the time to begin enterprises andstart in with the rising tide.

The Valkyrie is at any rate good enough

to make things interesting.

The thing that Dunraven had up hissleeve was evidently a laugh.

The Native Son illustrates the State andthe Native Daughter illumines it.

The pioneers and natives have had theirday of glory and a glorious day it was.

IfCleveland picked up Secretary Mortonfor a mascot he has been bitterly deceived.

Hardly a week passes in this countrywithout the opening of a convention some-where.

If the Railroad Commissioners reallyget to work they will,literally, filla long-felt want.

It is time for Commissioner Clark tostand up squarely and .let the people seehis attitude.

Let us hope tire Sutro Library buildingwillsoon get out ol the air and take shapeon a solid foundation.

IfMayor Sutro shies a veto at the hightax levy he will make a hit, even if itdoesn't bring itdown.

IfNew York loses the cup San Fran-cisco may go to England and bring itoverto this side ofthe world.

Louisville seems to have captured theGrand Army and made the veterans feelat home on the first whirl.

Campbell accepted the Democratic nomi-nation in Ohio under pressure, but it isstill doubtful ifhe thinks he is really run-nine.

To entertain 30,000 visitors in the wayshe did gives Sacramento a right to callherself a capital city in every sense of theword.

Gilroy made such a success of Admissionday that we may expect her to come intothe ring among the carnival towns of theState. _

Maryland voters are beginning to under-stand that the only sure way to get rid ofGormanism is to vote the Republicanticket.

There has been another batch of horrorsin Armenia and still the European nationshesitate to tell the Turk to get offthat por-tionof the earth.

Judging by her newspapers, Bostonseems to have acquired the conventionhabit this summer to the degree of anactual dissipation.

Keir Hardie is another British agitatorwho willgo home and say Chicago is hell,simply because he succeeded in raising itwhile he was there.

»The project of bringing the Republican

National Convention to San Francisco ismoving forward steadily and lots ofstrongmen are pushing italong,

One reason why the United States hasno right to interfere in Armenian affairsis that she has not yet made any attemptto prevent massacres in Cuba.

Before the Commissioners take action inreducing railroad rates they should put onrecord a body of evide.ice sufficient to sus-tain the action before the courts.

Take notice that the United Press givesthe best reports of all events and that TheCall is the only morning paper in the Citythat has the United Press dispatches.

Japan has just enough of a warin For-mosa to keep her army m good exercise,while leaving her free to spend the Chi-nese indemnity in buying American war-ships toperfect her navy.

Although American travel to Europe waslarger this year than ever before, there wasa decrease in the number of visitors toYellowstone Park, which looks very muchas if Americans with money enough totravel hadn't brains enough to knowwhich way togo.

The effort to bring the Republican Na-tional Convention to San Francisco is thefi:st enterprise in which the whole of theGreater West has been unitedly engaged,and with energetic leadership on our partthere is every reason to believe it can bemade successful in itself ana the promiseof greater successes to come.

: . ;

The announcement that the Mechanics'Fair may be continued for another week,instead of closing on Saturday, as at firstarranged, willbe received with more thanordinary satisfaction. The fair containsmany exhibits that constitute importantobject lessons in California industries andthe longer it is open the greater ia thework done in the way of popular educa-tion.

IS ME. OLAKK BUS??Railroad Commissioners La Rue and

Stanton have attracted all the attentionwhich has been devoted to that board oflate, and Commissioner Clark has re-mained in the background. This meansto say that Commissioner LaRue first pro-posed a certain reduction of freight rateswhich concerned wheat only, and thatCommissioner Stanton has come forwardwith a resolution which makes Commis-sioner La Rue's proposition appear insig-nificant in comparison, because Commis-sioner Stanton proposes to reduce all ratesto conform to the pledge whichhe took be-fore the convention that nominated him.In this measure he has announced his in-tention to give the Southern Pacific Com-pany credit for the voluntary reductionswhich it made in the latter part of 1894.This proposition seems to have set Com-missioner La Rue to thinking. In anyevent it seems that Commissioner LaRue's resolution to reduce the wheat tariffcannot be carried, and that CommissionerStanton's scheme for a general reductionon all transportable commodities is not in-tended to be made effective until the Ist ofnext January, when every possible articleof the current year's products will havebeen shipped.

However futile and idle the apparentefforts of these two Democratic membersof the board may seem they may never-theless prove to have a certain politicalvalue. The public is not insensible to thefact that seven months had elapsed be-tween the election of the members andtheir assumption of the obligations whichthey assumed, and that such assumptionwas coincident with the severe castigatlonwhich the local press administered to tbecommission on the score of its indolence.

Seemingly, under the influence of thatprodding the two Democratic Commission-ers, who constitute the majority of theboard, and who were bound under specificpledges to make a reduction, came forwardwithcertain limpingpropositions, the ulti-mate result of which is not to be felt untilthe crops of the current year have beenmoved. While the people of the State areawake to the sham of all these proceed-ings, they still remember that Commis-sioner Clark is a member of the board, andthey observe with amazement that he hasnot made even a pretense of an endeavorto serve the interests of the people.

As the representative of the Republicanparty Mr. Clark has been elected toan op-portunity for announcing the policy ofthat great organization. We allknow thathe was not elected under a pledge, weknow equally well that the party whichelected him pledged its history and itsfaith in presenting him as a candidate, andthat in securing his election itreposed thereputation of the party inhis hands.

Has he kept this great faith? Has hemade any attempt to show that as a repre-sentative of the Republican party he hasaimed to be a representative of the people?Has he given any evidence that he desiresto be known as a student of the needs ofthe people? On the contrary, is it notclear that he has done nothing whatever,but has left the fight to his political antag-onists in the board, and so has connivedin a scheme to obscure the political forceof the party which he represents and leaveall the glory to the other side? These arequestions wiiich Mr. Clark has an oppor-tunity to answer with actions

—unless, in-

deed, itis too late. All good citizens areanxiously awaiting a response from him.

AN OAKLAND EXAMPLE.The lottery has been scotched, but not

killed. Suppressed inmany places, itcon-tinues to find other channels throughwhich to exert its pernicious influence andaccomplish its evilresults. Itis evidentthe war upon it cannot be relaxed for amoment, and that if we expect to furtherdiminish the evil we must improve ourlaws so as to forbid any kindof advertisingfor the nefarious traffic either before orafter the drawing?.

In the Police Court of Oakland last weekthere was an illustration of the injurywhich the lottery works in the commu-nity. A man. reported to be a good work-man, and who has had steady employ-ment, was brought before the court to an-swer the charge of having threatened hiswife with a carving-knife and driven herfrom the house. The man, it seems, wasunder the influence of liquor when hecommitted the offense, but his wife statedhe was a complete slave to the Chineselottery game, and all his money was thusgambled away, leaving the family desti-tute and the home miserable and wretched.

There are ruined homes, broken man-hood and families made wretched by lot-teries that never come before the PoliceCourts. The full extent of the misery,wrong and suffering brought about by theinsidious evil willnever be known to thepublic. We can only be sure that the evilwhich ia known is only an evidence of agreater extent of cvii unknown, and onthat surety do what we can to put an endto it.It is the opinion of the police that

the lottery evil would die of itself ifit were not agaiu and again nursedinto life by the publication of al-leged profits drawn and distributed.These publications excite the minds ofthose given to delnsive hopes, and they re-turn once more to squander their honestearnings upon dishonest games, giving tothe sport of swindlers what should be thecomfort and maintenance of the home.To put a stop to that pernicious advertis-ing is, therefore, the next step to be takeninthe contest with the eyil,and we trustitwill not be wholly in vain that we callupon our contemporaries to join withusinrefusing to subordinate the power of thepress to the money of swindlers, or toserve them as a medium for carrying theirlying enticements into the homes of thepeople.

THE CHINATOWN WAE.The struggle which has been proceeding

for several weeks in Chinatown betweenrival organizations illustrates the im-punity with which the Chinese may vio-late our laws. If such a wrangle had oc-curred between rival bodies of Americancitizens the jails would have been long agocrowded with the offenders. The failureof the authorities to cope with the situa-tion in Chinatown does not mean a faulton their part. They find themselves con-fronted by a peculiar order of foreigners,who not only scorn our country, our peopleand our laws, but who by reason of theirstrange tongue and the extraordinarysecrecy with which they can conduct theirlawlessness have every possible advantageover white men in the commission of un-lawful acts.

The situation in Chinatown is this:Some weeks ago a member of one of thesocieties murdered a member of anothersociety. Up to that time there had beenno enmity between the societies. Usuallywhen a murder is committed, reprisal istaken by the murder of any member of thesociety to which the murderer belongp,but the present case is different. Retalia-tion by murder has not been resorted to.partly for the reason that the fight is notbetween societies of professional black-mailers and murderers, but betweentwo large organizations which comprehend

all elements, and embrace nearly thewhole population.

Instead of murder, therefore, the ag-grieved society has instituted a viciousand ruinous boycott against the onewhose member committed the murder.As the boycotting society is numericallymuch larger than the other, and as theboycotted society controls most of theshops, the gravity of the situation may beinferred. The boycott is enforced withex-treme rigidity. Any member of the boy-cotting society who makes a prohibitedpurchase is not only robbed of what hebuys, but is fined $20 for each dollar of hispurchase, and is given a whipping besides.The laws would not tolerate these out-rages if they were committed by Americancitizens.

The representatives in America of theChinese Government have sent a strongofficial to assist the local Consul in sup-pressing the boycott, but instead of callingin the local American authorities to theiraid these functionaries are attempting, asthe Chinese in America always attempt, tosettle their affairs in accordance with theirown laws and customs and to the com-plete ignoring of our institutions. As aresult they are making no headwayagainst the heavy odds which confrontthem, and the situation is not only grow-ing worse here, but the boycott is extend-ing all over the State. If this does notsoon lead to a bloody war of these alienson American soil we mistake the temperof the Chinese and the signs which they aregiving.

Meanwhile is it not possible for theAmerican authorities to intervene andstop the disgraceful proceedings? Is ourlocal government too weak to cope withthe evil '? Can any band of aliens come tothis country and organize a lawless strug-gle on our soil without our intervention?If our local authorities are not able tohandle the matter, and if the dignifiedgentlemen who are the accredited agentsof China to the United States hold them-selves aloof from the relief which ourpeace oilicers and courts should be able toafford, it seems time that the citizensthemselves ascertain what they might beable lawfully and peacefully to do in thepremises. _______________

PLAINTALKSWITH FARMERSThe argument, beginning last week and

running through three or four of theseletters, may bo summarized as follows:The farmer is at a disadvantage in hismaterial conditions as compared withother property-owning classes because heknows less about his business than theyknow about theirs. This was not alwaysthe case, his relative retrogression beingdue to the fact that in his isolated life hehas not been so well able as others to keeppace with modern progress; that the ten-dency and inevitable result of this condi-tion is to deprive farmers, beginning withthe weakest, of their property and reducethfm to the condition of dependents;that nothing can change that tendencyor prevent that consummation exceptthe general diffusion among . farmersof such business education as willprevent them from engaging in un-profitable enterprises; that the cost of theinformation necessary for the profitableconduct of a farm undVr modern conditionsis more than the revenue from the farmwill pay after supporting its owner inreasonable comfort, and that the alterna-tive confronting the small farmer is com-bination with ills fellows for educationaland other purposes or gradual extinction.Ishall develop this argument as closely

and concisely as Iam able, but the aboveis its gist, and Ido not think there is anydoubt about the conclusion

—we must unite

or die; and as we cannot unite until wefullyunderstand the need of it and learnhow. the first problem to be considered isthe preliminary education.

Ishowed last week that in so far as thefarmer is unfortunate it is due to his ig-norance. Let us now see what must befallhim if he does not educate himself; andwe must iiniember that nature is relent-less and remorseless; the quality of mercy

is unknown to her; she docs not considerabuses but conditions, and whether weak-ness is occasioned by misfortune or per-verseness the penalty is the same and isdeath. To fullyunderstand this we mustleave farm life fora littltfand see what theevolutionists say. Evolutionists are mostlyprofessors, a breed which some of us farm-ers do not esteem very highly, often re-ferring to them as "fellows with a lot oftheories," using the term in the contemptu-ous sense of vague speculations with nobasis save in the mind of the speculator.This again is because we don't know thescience of modern days is built upon factsascertained and verified with a patienceand precision of which we farmers havevery little conception. The scientificman does not as we sometimes vainlyimagine spend his days ana nights inrapt but dreamy contemplation of theinfinite, but, on the contrary, is mostlyconcerned with minute detail; he dissectspolly wogs and extracts the bones from deadand* bad-smelling fish, which he patientlycompares with the j>etrined relics and im-prints of those that died years ago. Thishe does, not because he likes to clean fishor break rock, but because he seeks to learnwhat has boon the rule of life in all ages,inferring therefrom what now the rule isand what it shall be. The collection ofactual facts verified by men trained to ob-serve upon which modern science nowrests is amazing and daily the store is in-creased. After some Jives have been spentin gathering and classify i115: facts in a cer-tain line, the mass begins to take shape sothat some law running through it can beapparently discerned, and with that lawassumed to be true, more lives are spent inpatiently collecting other facts and com-paring them with the assumed law: if allfacts as verified harmonize with the work-ing hypothesis, the law is strengthenedand gradually tends to become part ofsettled science; but ifone undoubted es-sential fact be discovered inconsistent withthat law, the whole edifice of reasoning isdestroyed and the work of rebuilding mustbe patiently begun. Hence science must,above all things, be sure of its facts, and soendeavors to be.

The facts thus collected, verified,classi-fied and analyzed through all timeuntil now show that all life hasone law, and this law, at first merely as-sumed, by long continued observations isnow considered settled and part of science—one of the things which weknow as wellas we can know anything in this world; itis a law that has so far run through alltime,operates now, and, so far as can be seen orjudged, will always operate ; it appliesalike to the birds of the air.the trees 01 theforest, the floating "

microbes about andto man himself;it •\u25a0 is universal, unchang-ing- _____

This lawis that the only condition underwhich any species can maintain itself is bythe introduction of a greater number ofindividuals than existing conditions willsustain, the survival of the fittest and thedeath of the unfit. Could this process bechecked the species would degenerate be-cause individuals of all species greatly dif-fer in the qualities to secure sustenancefrom their environment, and were all oprooagate and transmit their qualitiesalike the total result of vigor would be lessthan if only the same number of thestrongest survived and left descendants,and itis necessary that the aggregate vigorshall constantly increase in order to copewith increasing difficulties caused by theincreasing pressure of population.

The operation of this law upon man asdistinguished from other forms of lifeismodified by the fact that man has reason.As his numbers press upon the means of

subsistence he is able of his own volitionto add to those means. The races whichhave least of this quality die. Itis evi-dent that the present population ofAmerica could not live without bettermeans of obtaining subsistence than thered Indians had, or have been able to ac-quire. The time will come when existingpopulations will not be able to subsistwithout better means than we now have.

The present generation has the means toproduce comfortable subsistence for all. Ido not know that this is or can be scien-tifically settled, but Ithink no one dis-putes itand Ishall assume it. This sub-sistence, however, is very unequally dis-tributed. Looking Into this further we seethat in the long run those who know mosthave most; those who know most aboutmatters which directly concern their ownincome have most money, accumulating asurplus which they cannbt use ; those whoknow most about things which affect theincomes of mankind generally have mosthonor, usually in addition assuring them-selves of comfortable subsistence. Knowl-edge which affects nobody's income isworthless and is not sought.Itis best to make clear this money value

of knowledge. Of course Iknow that all 1can say is admitted in advance, and yetthose who admit itmay not after allknowit, because real knowledge inevitably in-fluences action. We do not touch a red-hot stove because we know it will burnus. Ifin that sense we know the dangerof ignorance, which is just as real, wewould strive for knowledge at any cost.The only real knowledge is that which wehabitually and unconsciously act upon.Any so-called knowledge which comesshort of that is mere vague impression,unavailable for practical use. Now, al-though itcannot be actually demonstrated,Iam sure that the incomes of those en-gaged in any business vary almost in adirect ratio with the number of essentialfacts pertaining to that business whichthey know accurately and certainly. Ofcourse it is true that individuals greatlyvary in capacity and vigor, but then it isthe smart and strong who know. Allthatthe weaker and less capable can do tomaintain equality is to study more hours—*to toil more nights and days. Itisknowledge that brings the income.Farmers are apt to denounce the greatsalaries paid in some walks oflife, but they are nearly always theprice paid for knowledge, or sup-posed knowledge, at market rates.The farmer who prefers the life of abanker has merely to know better thanany one else what property is safest tolend money on and to make his abilityknown: some bank will soon want him.Banners are large borrowers, and as theyare apt to seek and obtain loans whichthey have not the knowledge touse wisely,the bank president must he a better judgeof the possible profits of farming than thefarmer himself, lest the bunk's funds beinvested where they cannot be got backwhen wanted. This means a high salaryfor the bank officer, which goes to reducethe profitof the farmer, for ignorance mustpay its own bills. Iffarmers could knowenough about their own business to makeloans to them certain to be so wisely usedas to pay interest promptly and the prin-cipal at maturity, a cheaper salaried mancould lend them"money and the farmer'sprofits be so much increased.

Ihave said that the most capable knowmost and consequently get most. For-tunately it is not necessary for us all toknow as much as the most capable.Nature requires that we know enough toget a livingand kills us if we do not ; butshe does not concern herself with greataccumulations. If we are strong enoughand know enough to make such accumu-lations she (Joes not mind it, and if neces-sary willkilloff such weaker ones as maystand in our way; but if we attempt toaccumulate beyond our strength she willkillus for that, too. All she requires isthat we be warmed and wellnourished andour mind 3kept free from worry,but forthe lack of those, whether with or withoutour own fault, no excuse wiilbe taken.

Since evolution teaches that the penaltyof ignorance is death, it is well to under-stand just what the evolutionist means bydeath ;we may be dvinjj and not know it.Evidently (he evolutionist does not meanthat the ignorant shall falldown in theirtracks and give up the ghost, or even thatwithin a short time we 'shall all disappearand leave no sign. He means simply this,that by reason of our ignorance weshallbe unfort unate ;being unfortunate we shallbe worried; being worried we shall not oeweil nourished ;not being wellnourishedwe shall die before our time, leaving half-nourished and nervous descendants tolivestill shorter lives, until our names finallyperish from the earth. That is what deathmeans to the evolutionist, and itis theprocess which the ignorant are now goingthrough.

We are these atoms in a struggling massof humanity of whom itis certain that theweakest must die, but amid which it is thehighest duty of each one of us to makesure that he* shall live. Ifwe can also aidothers to live we shall do yell, but naturedoes not demand it of us, nor can we do sountil we have first satisfied our own debtto the awful force which controls us; butby as much as we maintain or increaseour own vigor by so much we add to theaggregate vigor of our race. Itis there-fore not. only essential but morally rightthat up (o a certain point we look out forourselves; and we are compelled not onlyto live, but to live up to a certain standardof comfort which is customary amongthose with whom we mingle. The China-man iives in hanniness and holds his ownamong the races amid environments whichwould be death to the American farmer.

Ihave now to disentangle from thisseething multitude the farming class, ancTespecially the American farmer, in order tonote his condition as compared withothersof his race, and see whether or not he isholding his own, and ifnot, whether of hisown volition he can strengthen himself,recover any ground he may have lost andmaintain his position among those whoshall live; and as 1 am now consideringmankind solely with reference to therelative power of survival Iam compelledto make the rather heartless division intoowners and non-owners of property,meaning by the latter class those who inthe prime of life have not in their posses-sion the means of supporting themselveswithout serious worry during their years ofdecline. For the acquisition of the meansofsubsistence according to one's station inlife is not only the best but the onlyevidence of power of survival.Those who cannot do that maybe of the salt of the earth, butthey are delivered, over to the bondage ofdeath. The former, from the nature ofhis business, must be, or ought to be. aproperty-holder, and Iwish here to com-pare him only with other owners of prop-erty. Inpast years the American farmerhas been regarded as the type of an as-sured prosperity within a very moderaterange, and his occupation considered asupon the whole the safest to engage in bythose who were prepared to be contentwith abundant nourishment, warm hous-ingand moderate intellectual and socialenjoyment, with freedom from seriouscare. Ithas been thought that \ipon thewhole those who contended for the morebrilliant prizes of life, even if theyachieved them, paid more for them thanthey were worth ;much greater the major-ity who strove for them and yet failed. Ithas been believed that the strain andworry of the severer strife so seriously im-paired their power of survival as tofar more than counterbalance any com-forts or enjoyments which they were ableto secure. Ifnow, comparing the farmerof to-day with the farmer of half a centurysince, we find that estimate still hold-ing good, the farmer is still holding hisown and need not be discouraged. If,onthe contrary, we find habitual worry,care

and dependence graaually taking the placeof the independence, comfort and securitywhich he formerly enjoyed, then he islosing ground ana must bestir himself. Ido not propose to enter upon a detailedcomparison of the condition of the farmeras compared with other property-owningclasses. Each of my older readeis is ascompetent as Ito compare for himself; Isimply record my own judgment, which

is that the farmer has ceased to be the in-dependent man whom Iknew in my boy-hood. He Is attacked by the care andworryof the business man without thebusiness man's equipment to meet them,and he is losing ground. If lam wron^ Iam glad of it,but Ishall proceed upon thatassumption.

Now this decadence of prosperity, in mybelief, is entirely unnecessary. The farmis the storehouse of vigor, without whichand the application it makes possiblethere can be no knowledge or the prosper-ity which knowledge brings; from thefarm the ranks of the prosperous are beingconstantly recruited ; the drift ofour bestinto the cities is notorious; farm-boysmake the best records in school and in col-lege. Their mother earth has given themthe vigor which is the foundation and themeans of all progress. We have, then, asfarmers the basis of success in the physicalstrength which makes success possible,and yet we are falling behind in the race.We have the earth and are frittering itaway.

This matter willbear more examinationthan Ihave space for this week, and, while1do not propose any detailed comparisonof the farmer with other classes, Ido thinkit well to compare him with his forbears ofa generation or two ago. This Ishall donext week, using as a Ibasis my recollectionof two lectures of Professor Boss ofStanford University, delivered at CampKoache —lectures, by the way, whichIhope to some day see printedand in the hands of every farmer.In entering upon that comparison itwillbe my object to discover and set forththe causes why the farmer of to-day isless happy than the farmer of formerdays, that we may see how, if inany way,those causes may be removed, and thefarmer be enabled to regain his relativeposition. If we can once be made to seeplainly the road by which we passed fromproperity to misfortune we may find itsuch that we can retrace our steps upon it.We may be sure of one thing— that if theAmerican farmer was ever prosperous andhappy it was because at the time he hadall the knowledge which he needed tomaintain his power of survival. What ourinvestigation should disclose is why he hasnot now that knowledge; whether" he canregain it,and, ifso, how.

IDEAS OF WESTERN EDITORS.

California.The time may come when every enlightened

community willsupport a free observatory aswell as a free library. Why not? The study ofthe stars can be made popular, and itexercisesa good influence upon all who engage in it.But little is really known by the masses of thepeople about the wonders of the heavens. Atelescope for general use— not the sort builtexclusively for professional astronomers—should be accessible to the people every nichtin the year. Rich people who contemplateprovidingin their wills for some public educa-tional beii3faction might consider the propri-ety of founding free public observatories.

—Stockton Mail.

We cannot expect the Kast tobuy of us thosecommodities which can be produced in theEast to advantage, and we ought not to buy,orto be expected to buy,those things in the Eastwhich we can advantageously produce on thiscoast. All legitimate trade consists In ex-changing things which we can produce to ad-vantage Tor things which we cannot, and anyother manner of trade than this is "carryingcoals to Newcastle."— Tulare Register.

Fresno and Merced seem to have outlivedtheir eagerness to get the Valley Railroad. Per-haps they imagine the road willhave to cometo them and they need not bestir themselves.That is the way some people thought inStock-ton, but, though they were numerous, thosewho didn't want to take any risks outnumberedthem. The Valleyroad doesn't have to go toany town, but may create several.— StocktonIndependent.

Oregon.

Itisnot likely that the scheme of militarydrill for the boys of our public schools willmeet with much favor in this country. Theidea seems to have been put forward here at aninopportune time, for Paris has just given upthe same project. The MunicipalCouncil ofParis has disbanded the battalions and orderedthe guns and equipments to be sold at auction.—

ment among Republican ladies over the re-sult of the Supreme Court decision on thesuffrage case, because they never thought theycould consistently vote on a law giving themthe right to vote.—Prove Enquirer.

Arizona.Itis no wonder that the State Department

THE VALKYRIES GALLANT RACE.

Turn About is by Mr. Pope Thought to beFair Play.

To the Editor of theMorning Call—Sir:InSun-day's Call you published a few lines celebrat-ing the victoryof the Defender over the Valky-rie. Turn about is only fairplay, and as a com-panion-piece to the Eagle's scream Iwouldsuggest that you give the Lion a chance to roar.You can insert, if you please, the followinglines:

Once more "Britannia rules the wave,"On far Columbia's shore.

Her English hearts, the tried and brave,True as their sires of yore.

The laurel wreath once more Is thine,Proud mistress of the sea!

Thy gallant sons far o'er the brlntHave proven worthy thee.

A victor proud ValkyrieridesO'er the Atlantic's foam.

Her glittering sail inglory fliesTo bear the trophy home.

Very respectfully, Charles W. Pope.630 Market street.

San Francisco, September 10, 1895.

PEOPLE TALKED ABOUT.Itcosts something to have an Emperor for a

friend. The recent visitof Kaiser William toLordLonadale cost, itis said, $200,000. Thisisnot quite as bad as was the case in which theDuke of Buckingham had Queen Victoria ashis guest at Stowe. The costliness of her re-ception was so great as to bankrupt him.

Mr. Mackenzie estimates the number ofslaves in Zanzibar and the adjoining islandsof Pemba, both under British protection, to be206,000, these being the survivors of over1,000,000 souls, the others having lost theirlives in the course of transit from the places oftheir capture.

Theodore Roosevelt is taking what time hefinds free from his cares inGotham to devoteto literature. He is writing, among otherthings, a book of patriotic stories for youngpeople.

Sir Philip Sidney at a great fete SDOrted a hatworth $25,000. It was felt, broad brimmedand turned up at the side, witha rosette ofdiamonds.

AROUND THE CORRIDORS.

Itwould be a difficult thing to get anybody

to believe that Dr. W.G. Mizner would let aChinaman slip upon him without raising one

or those celebrated rows that follows the "fate-

fulMizner smile." Itis nevertheless true thatsuch a thingdid occur and according to thedoctor's, story very little was said."Iwas traveling through China some years

ago," said he to tome friends in the Palacegrillroom, "and stopped a little while at Can-

ton. Ofcourse Iwanted to see the city, so I

hired a palanquin and went forth into thestreets. They are very narrow seldom widerthan one can stretch the arms. By some hookor crook it was discovered thatIwas an Ameri-can. We had gone probably half a block whenthe sallow brutes deliberately began to spit at

me. Ihad to dodge and duck to escape thecharges of tobacco juice, etc., for had Iat-tempted tomake any protest there would have

been a Mizner corpse under the feet of a large

portion of three million inhabitants of thecity. Itwas as much as my life was worth toget out and declare war. Ihad to take it alland get out the best way possible. They

smashed the top of my palanquin with bamboosticks and made remarks that caused the blushto rise to ny cheeks."

"Is there no protection for an Americanthere?'' asked one of the doctor's audience.

"Absolutely none. Had Ibeen an English-manIwould have been treated with respect.They fear the English and laugh at Ameri-cans."

"Why isit so?""Simply because America never protects her

citizens ifthey get Into trouble. On the otherhand, England will send relief at once andstand by her subjects. In Canton there is nomore respect for the American Consul thanthere is for a street gamin. They know that ifthey take liberties with an American who hasno particular station inlife outside of his owncountry, America will never lift her fingerto demand redress. Now, let's get down to thisquestion ana discuss it. There is a good dealto be said about the matter and let me tell youit's about time to find out where the land ofthe free and the home of the brave has anyjurisdiction."Iknow of a man inSan Jose de Guatemala

by the name of John Magee. He was one dayapproached by the commandant of the townand asked for a horse. He replied that heneeded the horse himself, whereupon the com-mandant ordered him strapped to a post andgiven liitv lashes. Magee appealed to theEnglish Consul, and in a short time an Eng-lish man-of-war steamed into the harbor anddemanded $100,000, or threatened to bom-bard the city. Twenty-four hours' time wasallowed, but long before it was up the moneywas on the deck and Magee got half ofit

—the

ship the balance. After that incident Mageewas granted a concession to build a steel pierout into the ocean, and he charges a cent apound for every pound of staff imported andexported into the country. He is the bigInjunof the place and is greatly respected.

"Now take a look at America's policy. Dr.Harry Cross of Stockton went down to Guate-mala, took a photograph of the palace with acamera and was thrown into prison for twoweeks. He appealed to the American Consuland got nothing for a reply.

"InAcapulco there isa first mate ofan Amer-ican ship who shot the second mate in self-defense. All the evidence was clear on thatpoint, but the people there imprisoned him forlife and he has been in the place for eightyears. Several appeals to the American Gov-ernment nave been fruitless, and the result isthat all over the world the foreign policy ofAmerica is a laughing stock. Ididn't intendto get into this discussion, but what Ihavesaid goes, and it is deplorable that a mandare not defend himself in a foreign countryfor fear that his own Government willnot pro-tect him from a life of servitude and imprison-ment. Ican't stand it whenIthink of it. It'«enough to drive an American crazy. Let's getout of here and cool off"; and the "fatefulsmile was gone to make room for a large ex-pression of disgust.

At the LickHouse last evening several menwere talking about the need for opening upmarkets outside the State for the food productsgrown here. "It seems to me that Californiansare too much inclined to go ahead and growsomething that somebody else is growing.They lose good opportunities, too," said J. A.Finch. "There is no reason why San Fran-cisco should import its eggs and poultry fromthe East."

"Oh, that is such a small matter, and itissuch a troublesome business," he was an-swered.

"Small matter?" said Mr. Finch. "You arenot aware that San Francisco consumed over7,000,000 dozen eggs last year, and that one-half of them came from the East. Let me giveyou some figures Ihave about eggs and poul-try, and you will see that it is one of thegreatest ofindustries.

"France consumes in eggs and poultry, invalue over 337,000,000 francs annually; Eng-land imported from Germany, Belgium. Franceand Holland $33,500,000 worth of eggs lastyear; while it is estimated that the UnitedStates in1894 consumed in eggs and poultryin value $750,000 000. All the eggs sold donot go to the restaurants and hotel tables, butare largely used in the manufacture of kidgloves, in book-binding establishments, infinishing fine leather. The calico-print worksused 40,000,000 dozen eggs Jast year, andsome photographic establishments use over2,000,000 eggs annually. Wine clarifiers useover 10,000.000 a year. Over half the eggssold are used in the manufactures; this por-tion of the consumption increases more rap-idly than the table demand, which is thereason so large an average price is paid foreggs to-day.

"The poultry business of the Eastern Stateshas become one of the leading industrieswithin the past few years, and for the amountof money invested has paid a larger per centprofit than any other legitimate businessknown. Nine of our leading Eastern citiesconsume over $137,000,000 worth of eggs andpoultry annually. The industry has grown tosuch large proportions that some of our lead-ing financiers in the East have gone into thebusiness, employing scientific men to run theirplants. The old method oi setting the hen and

waiting until she rears her brood has been su-perseded by the incubator and brooder, whichenable those engaged in the business to turnout Chickens inall seasons of the year, therebyprocuring a large profit. Ninety per cent of altthe poultry consumes in Massachusetts, Con-necticut, New York and New Jersey are raisedartificially."Itmay surprise you, but itis true, that Call-

fornia does not produce more then half her de-mand. Carloads of dressed poultry,and eggsin the same proportion, are shipped here fromKansas City and other Eastern points, which isa reflection upon the California climate andthe indifference ofher people. Those interestedand engaged in horticulture and agriculturewould rise upinindignation if the East wereto ship two carloads of fruitto San Francisco.bu there isan industry in which the neglect of thepeople allows over $1,000,000 to go out of theState annually. Inorder to meet this demandthe industry must be run on the same businessprinciples as are used by the successful poul-try-raisers of the East. There are plants intheEast with investments from $10,000 to $150,---000, which pay large profits, being run onscientific methods."
