TIE RECEPTION OF MRS. LANsTRY

A correspondent who was present at the
reception of Mrs. Langtry on her arrival
at New York says that the conduct of the
reporters, of whom about one hundred
were at hand, was absolutely disgraceful.
They gathered about Mrs. Langtry and
stared at her, and took notes of her, pre-
cisely as though she had been some hitherto
unknown wild animal. When they had
exhibited their brutality and vulgarity
sufficiently in this way, they proceeded to
ask her the most impudent questions.
Oae journalistic oif actually wanted to
know what she was going to do with the
money she expected to earn on the stage.
Mrs. I.angtry, however, behaved with ad-
mirable temper and good.humor. She
seemed not to notice the outrageous man.
ner IN which she was being treated,
although it is intimated that she must
have heard many of the remarks which
were freely made about her. Certainly
the observation of Mr.. Herbert Spencer
upon the proneness of Americans to
tolerate small abuses, and especially
invasions of privacy, receives a striking
confirmation in this case. The reporters,
moreover. having stared at and taken notes
of Mrs. LaDgtry, went off to "write her
cup" as though she had been prize

A sgAsoNAsLE DISCOURSE.

An address was delivered at the Califor-
mia College Of Pharmacy the other day, by
w. III. L. Barnes, and it strikes Us as hav-
ing been peculiarly seasonable, though it is
by no means impossible that the pharma.
cists may not relish it. Mr.. Barnes de.
voted his remarks principally to the abuse
which the patent medicine trade consti.
tutes, and he urged upon the graduating
class of young apothecaries the duty of
refusing to these nostrums place on their
shelves. He said Your society can put
an end, if it will, to the vast and
destructive trade in proprietary medi.
cines-these patent devices for the de-
"struction of the body and the cutting of
Is the public purse. 1t is said that
the patent medicine trade in England
"and the United States amounts to 5000.
1000, 600 per aLuum. Who is responsible
for this understand it is considered
quackery for a regularly graduated ply
stefan to dispense secret nostrum or at.
test the value of a patent medicine.
why is it not equally reprehensible for
pharmacists to give them place on their
shelves and indorse them ?" There can
be no doubt as to the magnitude of the
patent medicine abuse, but unfortunately
1t IS very difficult to make any head against
it, The druggists might perhaps retort
upon the press that if the latter did not
give publicity to patent medicines there
would be no demand for them. And
there is great deal of truth in this. All
the patent medicine proprietors who have
grown rich-and their name is Legion.
have owed their success mainly to bold and
extensive advertising. The druggists may
say that they do not indorse the patent
medicines they keep for sale. They may
say that they cannot undertake to protect
the public against the natural consequences
of their own credulity and folly. In fact
the matter is one of those in which private
interests are distinctly alien to the public
interests, and in regard to which, there.
fore, even John Stuart Mill might admit
the necessity of Government interference.
Just as in the Factory Acts the British
Government interfered to prevent the en-
ployment of children in h-destroying
occupations, being justified in so doing by
the consideration that neither the factory
owners nor the parents of the children could
be trusted to apply any reform, so the Gov.
eminent might with equal reason interfere
to protect the public against an evil which
neither the press nor the pharmacists can
be trusted to deal with. In no other way
does there appear any probability of
change for the better. Indeed the manu-.
facture and sale of patent medicines ap-
pear to be increasing continually, and it
is perhaps time that the Prohibitionists
should interest themselves in this kind of
pernicious drinking also.

WHAT ENGLAND pERcEIvEs.

Sir Richard Temple, an Anglo. Indian
statesman Of note, has been making tour
of America, and in the course Ola CONVEX
sation recently he remarked that though
the majority of Englishmen are free-trad.
ers, they prefer that this country should
have protective tariff, as it prevents it
from competing with England for foreign
markets, and gives the latter virtual
monopoly of them. The Chicago Tribune
observes upon this: "The average rate of
tariff taxation on American consumers of
the class of goods which England pro.
duces for sale is about so per cent.
"This amount of tax our manufacturers
"add to their prices to American consum.
"ers, and the backwater action of our
tariff is co increase the cost of domestic
manufactures and the expense of living
"about so per cent. Hence our tariff
practically acts as protection to our
British competitors in keeping us out of
foreign markets. The English are sharp
"enough to perceive that were it not for
"our so.called protective tariff manufact-
lures could be produced in this country
sat general average of 80 per cent. less
ethan they now sell, and consequently
"could be sold at a profit in competition
with British goods 10 all the foreign mar.
"kets of the world" It is to be hoped
that no Free Trader will take advantage of
this argument to retort upon the Protec-
tionists the charge of being bought with
British gold" which was once SO potent
an accusation on the part of the tariff rob-
beers. 1t is, however, perfectly true that
the present fiscal policy of the United
States is positive and constant benefit to
Great Britain, and that her merchants and
manufacturers really could afford to sub
sidize Congress to maintain the tariff. So
long as that tariff remains what it is Amer.
lean manufactures can never compete with
those of England in the markets of the
world, and the English are shrewd enough

CoLoNIzIaG PALESTINE.

A Boston company has been formed for
the purpose of colonizing Palestine with
Christians in fact organizing nineteenth
century crusade, after the modern fashion
1t is proposed to establish there communi.
ties Of Christians, and presumably of Amer
can Christians, and it is reported that Won
derful results are to be expected from the
accomplishment of the enterprise. What
we anticipate from it is the loss of all the
capital invested, and the ruin of those who
are simple enough to believe in its prac-
tieability. There was some plausibility in
Mr.. ELEPHANTS project for colonizipg Pales-
tine with Jews, because he proposed to
send there only such Jews as were familiar
with Oriental life. The Boston company,
however, appear to contemplate the trans.
fer Of Yankees to Palestine, and if that is
done we do not think any other result than
we have indicated ought to be looked for.
But it IS by no means probable that the
stock CT such company will speedily COM
mand premium, and unless its projectors
happen to be wealthy fanatics it is likely
enough to die natural death before any
harm is done.

and since it is not union which civilized
society anywhere recognizes as permissible,
it is difficult to see how his unfortunate
daughters can escape the natural conse-
quences of their too radical fathers within.
He appears to have had an ambition to
show how the Daniel Rochat problem may
be solved in new way, but it is to be
feared that he has sacrificed his daughters
to his regard for primitive marriage, I"
which of course is neither more nor less
than the marriage of monkeys and missing
links. And as long as there are laws. of
marriage and inheritance and so forth, it is
clear that one of the inconvenience of the
primitive union must be the impossi.
bility of securing to its offspring the enjoy
ment of the position and property of their
radical but by no means practical parents.
On the whole we think NJ. Reclus has
made an unfortunate experiment, and it is
to be regretted that the chief mischief will
have to be borne by his daughters.

FEDERAL COURTS IN UrAa.

The press and people of the country
will probably do wisely to receive the
statements Of the Utah Gentle journals in
regard to Judge Turner's recen. decision,
with extreme caution. 1t is a familiar fact
that the Gentle papers of that Territory
are not at all trustworthy in matters of
this kind. Their bias against the Nor
mons is so strong, their prejudice is 60
rampant, that they are ever ready to &C.
cuse of treason any Federal officer or Judge
who tries to be impartial. 1t is in the
highest degree improbable that Judge
Turner has unfairly favored the Mormons
1t is in the highest degree improbable that
he has been bribed by them. But it is I'M
fortunately altogether credible that the
Gentle papers of Utah are making wild
and irresponsible and unjustifable charges,
because they have done the same kind of
thing many times before. The truth is
that those papers do not represent the situe-
ton at all faithfully, They rant and rave
about Mormonism much as too many of
the California papers not long ago ranted
and raved about the Chinese question.
Such irrational partisanship, however, is
always mistake. 1t does not convince
outsiders. 1t only revolts them. In the
present case we are fully prepared to learn
that the Federal Judge in Utah has been
very greatly wronged by the utterances of
the Gentle press, and that he has done no
more than his duty.

velop it must in the end tend to the abso.
lutte suppression of liberty, because peo-
pie who have forgotten how to protect their
individual rights will be incapable of de-
Tending their aggregate liberties. Mr..
Spencer processes to think tina. we shall
outgrow the tendencies he refers to. We
cannot see how any such conclusion is war
ranted. The natural course in such a case
is for the evil to become worse all the time.
A habit of tolerating abuses cannot tend
to weaken and abolish itself On the con.
trary. it must grow stronger with practice.
Therefore it would seem that as first step
toward recovery the American people must
exhibit stme disposition to guard private
rights with greater energy. At present it
must be confessed that there is no indica-
ton OF any such return to regard for in
dividual rights, but that there never was a
time when the tendency toward violating
such rights seemed more general.

A NICE SQUABBLE.

The campaign seems likely to close
with . remarkably ni;e quarrel in re-
gard to the principal candidates. A
Woodland paper (Republical) charged
that Stoneman went from one saloon
to another in that place, drinking whisky
until he was visibly affected by it.
The local Democratic paper denies the
statement, calls the editor of the other con.
Germ a liar, and things generally are be.
coming very lurid. On the other hand, q
Marysville paper asserts that Estee spent
several hours of recent Sunday in the
back room of saloon there, while the
Rescue alleges that he makes his San Fran
cisco headquarters in saloon. The natural
inference from these pretty stories would be
that Stoneman and Estee were both striv-
ing to win the favor of the League OF Free.
dom ; but Estee has no hopes OF gaining
the votes Of that body, and therefore he
would seem to be wasting his time in cul-
tivating the back rooms of saloons-ur.
less, indeed, he does it because he likes it
in which case he at least has the satisfac.
ton of pleasing himself.

DEATH OF MR.. SIMoNroN.

James W. Simonton, long a partner of
Messrs. Fitch and Pickering in the San
Francisco Bulletin and CaU died suddenly
of heart disease at Napa on Thursday
night. Mr.. Simonton had been an ex.
tremely efficient journalist and news col
lector. For fifteen years he occupied the
arduous position of New York agent of
the Associated Press. Finally the work
proved too much for him, and he resigned
and came to California to lead rural life
upon his farm at Napa. But he had ex-
hausted his vitality. Thirty years of IN
relieved toll had brought him riches, but
taken away from him the capacity to enjoy
them. He had spent all the vigor of his
constitution in hard work, and when the
holiday time came he could not avail him
self of it. This is common fate in these
Gays of rush and strain, and yet it is none
the less sad one. Unless a man takes
constant delight in his work, if he spends
all his vigor upon it he only cheats him
self out of whatever pleasure and salts
faction life might have for him, and when
the end comes he realizes, too late, that the
course he had thought so prudent and sa-
gacious was after all but folly.

TROOPS A D MODS.

The troops which fred upon the mob
that sought to lynch the alleged Ashland
murderers appear to have Deen compelled
to fire upon their assailants. 1t is always
very difficult position for militia to be in,
but in this case the mob made the attack
wantonly, and they got no more than they
deserved. 1t was unfortunate that peace
able persons should have been hurt, but it
is in order TO ask what peaceable persons
were doing in such suspicious proximity to
bloodthirsty and half-drunken crowd of
roughs, who were firing upon the troops in
the widest way. We are glad to zee that
Governor Blackburn stands up for the
troops, and iusti6es their action. There
was no excuse for an attempt at lynching,
and it is quite necessary that the tendency
toward mob-outrages under the pretense
of justice should be put down.

THE BEY's FUNERAL.

France, having killed the poor old Bey
Of Tunis, has just given him magnificent
military funeral. The facts about the
Tunis tragedy have not been at all gener-
ally known, but it is certain that the
whole of the French policy has been from
beginning to end foully unjust and wrong.
The pretext for aggression, the trouble
with the kroumirs, was trumped. up one.
There was no cause of quarrel with the
Bey. His country was seized, overrun,
and finally annexed, in the most high
handed and outrageous manner. 1t was a
piece of pure tyranny and bullying, and it
has been covered up with the most cold.
blooded diplomatic Misrepresentation.
England was bound by many considera.
lions to defend the Bey, but her hands
were tied by the Egyptian imbroglio at
the time, and so France was allowed TO do
as she pleased. What she pleased was to
annex Tunis, and under the weight of the
indignities heaped upon him, the heart of
the old Bey broke, and he died. France
has got Tunis, but she has had to surren-
der her hold upon Egypt entirely, and she
cannot claim any place in the future ar.
rangements which England is about to
make tor the government of that country.
And Tunis is after all not an acquisition to
be compared with Egypt, while the man.
ner of obtaining it will be certain to bear
bitter fruits hereafter, and to render it far
more of burden than an advantage to the
couEtry which has to keep it in order and
subsection.

Eor A Happy ALLusroN

Mr.. Booth. in speech at San Francisco
the other night, observed of the Demo-
cratic party that "i it's highest ambition has
"been of late years to masquerade in the
"cast-of garments of the Republican
"party." As regards national politics
that is perfectly true; but it seems to us
to have been anything but felicitous al.
fusion, considering the fact that in Cali
fornia this year it is the Republican party
which is most VIGOROUSLY masquerading
in Democratic garments. The Republican
party says to the people: See We are
"more Democratic than the Democrats /!
ave have not only copied their issues,
"but give you an extra dose OF demagog-
"ism." And il is not even different from
them on the Sunday law. In fact it is SO
clearly in harmony with them on that ques-
ton that the people who have real con-
victions upon it have been compelled to
secede from the Republican ranks, and
create new party of their own. On the
whole we mus. say that it appears to US
very unfortunate time for Republican

founded upon economic fallacies which
have been exploded for years, and which
have long ceased to be taught in any re.
spectacle American school or college. The
farmers, however, are above all injured
and defrauded by the tariff, and therefore
when they are asked to vote for the party
that supports and attempts to justify that
outrageous system, they ought to under
stand what it is that they are invited to
do. The Republicans say to them, "We
shave robbed you for years you and the
working men ; and now we promise that
"if you will vote for us we will go on
"robbing you and the workingmen as long
"as we are in power" Certainly this
assurance is particularly calculated to in.
spire confidence in the voters.

THE OPIUM CONFERENCE.

Lord Shaftesbury and others are having
an opium conference in London. This must
not be interpreted as a statement that the
noble lord and his associates have met to.
gether for the purpose of hitting the
pipe" Far from It. They have discov-
cred, somewhat tardily, that the compul-
sorry importation of opium to China is not
consistent with the reputation of Great
Britain as Christian power, and they have
called this conference to devise measures
for putting an end to the national disgrace
in the matter. Whether they will succeed
is another question. The opium trade is
pretty strongly intrenched by this time.
1t has been supported by the Government
so long and so unscrupulously that the lat
ter can hardly find an excuse now for
changiDgits attitude. Besides, Lord Shaftes-
bury and his kind of agitators are in dan.
ger of being dismissed as mere sentimental
enthusiasts, who know nothing about the
needs of comm re and then there are
the ingenious people who argue that since
China herself has learned to grow opium
it does not matter how much is imported.
For all this Lord Shaftesbury has the right
of the question, and it is possible that for
once just cause may find recognition.

TIE rxpsp1rlos TO TIE soUDAN.

1t is said that the English Government
has agreed to let English officers con-
duct the expedition to the Soudau, against
the False Prophet. We do not envy the
officers who are to be charged with this
duty. Some American officers accompanied
the Egyptian army into Abyssinia, and
when that army was cut to pieces by King
Johannes, these Americans shared the
fate of their incapable troops. Il the False
Prophet possesses any capacity whatever il
is quite possible that he may prove too
many for the Egyptian expedition, in which
case the English officers viii be sacrificed.
For it is by this time a demonstrated fact
that the Egyptians are not a warlike PEG.
pie, and that as soldiers they cannot be de.
pended upon even to stand up firmly against
the meress savages. A much better policy
would have been to have sent a few Eng
glish troops in the expedition. A couple
of thousand would no doubt be quite
enough to deal with Ell Mehdi.
