" through the construction of the grain
'ssheds on the sea wall. The freedom
s. from wharf charges at Port Costa, Val
"lejo, Benicia and Martinez, is more than
g an offset for the extra charges for tow
cling. If the transfer of go great an
samount of business to other points is
lowing to natural advantages, the citi-
items of San Francisco have no cause for
complaint; but if this is caused by the
g limited jurisdiction CT the HarLor Com
missioners, this limitation amounts to
direct discrimination against the city"
We desire to direct the attention of our
agricultural readers particularly to the
last section of Mr.. Clayton's comment
upon the situation. 1t is certainly q some
what guarded statement, but it as certainly
conveys an intimation that the jurisdiction
of the Harbor Commissioners ought to beck
tended SO as to cover the shipping points
which are atpresent drawing away the bus
mess from San Francisco Mr.. Clayton,
in fact, proposes that the same disabilities
which he says operate against San Fran
cisco shall be imposed upon Port Costa,
Vallejo, Benicia and Martinez; that they.
too, shall be subjected to the wharf dues
which are driving the ships from San
Francisco. At present the natural and
other facilities possessed by Port Costa,
Benicia, etc., are enabling the wheat
growers to ship their grain more economi-
cally than ever before. San Francisco is
handicapped, not only by her wharf
charges, but by her municipal taxation,
whereas Port Costa is subject to no i'm
posts of any kind. In order, therefore, to
rehabilitate the shipping business of San
Francisco, it is proposed to levy such
charges upon all the other places of ship
ment as shall destroy their present ad-
vantages, and force the trade back to the
city. This is the true inwardness of Mr..
Clayton's suggestions, and it is SO serious a
menace that the farmers cannot afford to
| let it pass. The extension of the juris-
diction of the State Harbor Commits
sioners could be accomplished easily enough
by legislation, if the attention of those
whose interests are at stake was diverted
from the San Francisco programme. 1t is
not to be supposed that the shippers and
merchants of San Francisco will let this
trade go from them without struggle, but
it is for the farmers to combine in defense
of the superior accommodations and facili-
ties they now enjoy at the new shipping
points. The RECORD UNION pointed out
the inevitable tendencies in this connection
last year, showing that the cost of ship
ping at San Francisco must naturally send
vessels elsewhere to load. 1t would have
been in accordance with business princi.
Piles had the San Francisco merchants
sought to regain their advantages by re-
ducing the expenses of loading at their
wharves but it now seems that they are
contemplating raid upon the rival ship.
ping points, with view to raise the ex-
penses all round, and so to equalize them.
With such proposition as this the farmers
are intimately concerned, and they can
not afford to miss its significance.

OF bile into the intestines at proper intervals,
is essential to health and regularity of the
bowels and stomach. When this important
function is interrupted by the failure of the
gland to perform its secretng duty properly,
constipation and indigestion result, bile is
injected into the blood, and dyes the skin a
dirty yellow there are nausea, headache,
pain in the right side, furred tongue and
other annoying symptoms. For these and for
their cause, Hostetter's Stomach Bitters is a
far more rational and pleasant remedy than
the drastic. violent. purgatives sometimes
taken. 1t relaxes the bowels without pain or
annoyance and imparts the requisite stimulus
to the liver. promoting its activity, and that
of its associate organ. the stomach. These
combined bsne6cent effects are speedily APP
pre- ciable.

THE wHALERs AND TIE JEANETTE

Some of our Eastern contemporaries in
sist on regarding the recent news about
the Arctic whalers Vigilant and Mount
Wollaston as indicating the loss of the
Jeanette. But the truth is that there is
no analogy between the cases The whalers
were only provisioned for one year, and at
the end of that time, if caught in the ice,
they were certain to get into serious trou-
bic. The Jeanette, on the other hand,
carried provisions for three years, and her
commander when he left San Francisco
had no idea whatever OF returning before
the spring of 1882. The plain fact is that
al the anxiety about the Jeanhette from
first to last has been utterly unwarranted
by any single piece OF intelligence She
cannot be said to be missing, for the time
during which she intended to be absent has
not yet expired, and therefore there was
no reason for expecting her return. We
ought to have waited until next year, and
then ii nothing had been heard from her it
would have been time enough to feel I'M
easy. OF course 1t is always possible that
she may have met with disaster, but it is
In no respect more probable now than it
was six months after she left San Fran
cisco. The rational Prescriptions are all
in favor OF her safety. No news in her
case is equivalent to good news, in fact.
1t is absurd to indulge apprehensions
about her because nothing has been heard
from her, when it is well understood that
nothing could have been heard from her if
her mission was proving successful The
loss of the whalers-if they are lost and
for thai we have nothing but the story of
the Tohuckchies-does not at all suggest
the loss OF the Jeanette, and it is merely
foolish for journals to spread abroad utterly
unreasonable and groundIess fears of this
kind.
