THE BANKRUPTCY BILL.

The country generally will be disap-
pointed at the action of the lower
House of Congress in refusing to sus-
pend the rules and fix a day for the
consideration of the bill to establish a
uniform system of bankruptcy. While
the majority of the House was in favor
of this motion, the necessary two.
thirds could not be obtained. 1t is
considered that this vote practically
ruins the the chances for the enact
ment, this session, of the bankruptcy
law. 1t is possible, however, that in
the ordinary course Of business the
bill may be reached, but as the time
for the final adjournment approaches
the prospect for securing the passage
of the bill fades.

THE testimony of Senator Sharon,
although scarcely fit for publication,
only shows that he is like most of the
men who have means to live lives to
suit their own tastes. What he did can
not be said to be strictly according to
the strictest code of morality, but he
is no worse than thousands of hypo-
critics who, while either living or
desiring to live the same kind of a
life, cloak their own weakness by
Pharisaical revilings of man they
envy. Let none throw stones who are
at present living in glass houses, or, if
not, are anxious to move in. Mr..
Sharon has numerous faults. but he
should not receive the most abuse for
the sin of which the greater number
of his sclf.righteous enemies are
equally guilty, and in the meantime,
whether he is wicked or otherwise,
his evidence bears the stamp of truth
as what he says he did is just what
would be expected from him by his
intimate acquaintance.

The idea Of Chinese army is some
thing to excite a smile. We at once
think Of the blouse, the inevitable
queue, the cumbersome bamboo hat
and the cork-soled shoes of regiment
of Mongols mustered into service. To
call such men soldiers is a travesty
upon the term, and so it was proved in
ronquin, where the French, in their
invasion, had everything their own
way. The Chinese made great pre-.
tense Of valor, but gave way in every
encounter--fied, in fact from their
strong entertainments, like so many
panic-stricken sheep. The consequence
is that, as the armies of France had q
triumphal march, they were enabled
10 dictate the terms of the treaty
which has just been formed between
the belligerents. There is to be, as
the readers of the CAL have been in.
formed, French protectorate over
Anam, which opens to trade the
provinces of Quong-tung, Kuang. hi
and Yun.Nan. The suzeralnty of
China in this region has consequently
passed away. France was generous,
according to military construction,
not to require an indemnity from
China to pay the expenses of the war.
1t is hoped the French conquest in the
end will inure 10 the profit of trade
and the benefit OF Christian civiliza-
tion.--Sa~ Fy1sciseo Call

A GREAT DISCOVERY.

Tt Is announced that Pasteur, the
eminent chemist, has discovered u
means Of vaccinating against hydro.
phobia. That he has evolved a method
by which there can be discharged into
the veins of animals virus that pre-
vents rabies. Hydrophopia is not
contagious; it can be communicated
to II an only by contact with an animal
infected. If in the animal the disease
can be prevented, man is safe from 1t.
If it be true that the distinguished
scientist has arrived at a certainty on
this matter, he has conferred upon
mankind great blessing Record
Union.
One of the members of the French
Academy once said in reply to an
inquiring doubter: IN. Pasteur Is
never mistaken" and it is probable
that If The distinguished man says he
has certain cure people can rely on
it as certain. He discovered the cause
and cure for the silk-worm disease,
and also of the carbuncles which
killed so many horses and cows in
France some years ago; and it was in
connection with the last discovery
that his friend made the above quoted
remark. His methods of experiment
are so exact that nothing is ever left
to conjecture, and in arguments with
opponents who have endeavored to
confute his theories by experimental
tests he has always been able to show
them where they made the mistake
which caused the results from which
they reasoned.

Tie San Francisco Gail, speaking
Of Conkling and Blaine; The assump-
ton that ex-senator Conkling could
not be induced to render even mega
tive support to Blaine, as the Republi-
can candidate for President has had
much to do with the general belief
that, II nominated, Blaine could rot
carry New York. There have been
several limitations recently, that
Conkling is not SO implacable as was
thought. Since Arthur has taken the
second place in the list of candidates,
for the nomination, Conkling has
seemed to incline to Blaine as a choice
between what he may consider two
evils. 1t now appears from an inter
view between John b. Alley of Mass
achusctts, as reported, that Mr.. Conk-
ling prefers Mr.. Blaine tosa nobody.
Mr.. Conkling may be pardoned IT he
has got a little tired Of politicrl no.
bodies. Tho Republican nomination
has been twice carried off by men who
were not considered in the fight when
the Convention assembled, and on
each occasion the result was unfortu.
nate for Mr.. Conkling. He had little
or no influence with the Hayes admin
istration, still less with Garfield's, and
apparently none at all with Arthur's,
The secret history of Conkling's rup.
ture with Arthur has not yet been
written. When it is, it will form an
interesting chapter in American poll
tics. Conkling and Arthur worked to-
gcther while the latter was Vice Pres
ident. Arthur was as much incensed
~ Conkling at the appointment of
Robertson TO the New York Custom
House. and is known to have stood by
Conkling when the latter resigned be-
cause he could not prevent its confir-
nation. When Arthur became Presi-
dent, Conkling naturally expected
him to undo the work he had so
strongly disapproyed. But this,
Arthur failed to do. His reason was
that he hoped to harmonize the party.
Conkling's method of harmonizing a
party is to render his opponents pow
erlers. He did not believe in plaza.
ting them with the best Offices In the
gift Of the party. The differences be.
tween Conkling and Arthnr are be.
lieved to have arisen over the refusal
of the latter to remove Robertson.

Food AdulteratlOn.

The Legislatures now in session are
busily grinding out new laws TO prohib-
II and punish adulterations of food and
drink. In one a bill has been intro
duced requiring every keeper Of tav-
ern or restaurant to put up in his house
public notice informing his custom
ers whether he serves oleomargarine or
butter. It is also proposed TO require
brewers 10 state on their kegs whether
their beer contains barley, malt or glu-
cose. Other measures equally absurd
are proposed. The statue books OF
most of the States are crowded with
laws for the punishment Of fraudulent
adulterations Of food, but they have
proved wholly futile. In spite of the
laws this system Of fraud is extending
to nearly all the food that the people
consume. There is but one practical
way OF successfully combating the in.
iquity, and this is In the establishment
by the State Of chemical laboratories
for the detection Of frauds In food.
These laboratories, provided with skill.
ful chemists, should be connected with
the detective police force OF q city, as il
Is more important TO society that the
rogues who cheat the people and poi
son them at the same time should be
detected and punished than ordinary
counterieiters and bickpo kets Two
or three laboratories In the manufacture

ations are prepared, would do the busi-

TO health, IL should be made the duty OF

adulteration does not injure the health
Of the consumer, but is fraudulent

punishment would scarcely lie neces-
sary besides the publication OF the man

that may in some way modify the ex-

took passage in the China, of the
Cunard line, for Liverpool. We had a
very dismal run across the Atlantic,
rain alternating with thick fog for
twelve days, the ship rolling incessant-
", and every night becoming new
horror in the constantly-increasing fear
that something would happen to the
steamer. Fastnet Light, off the coast
of Ireland, was seen for few minutes
during fog-lift on the evening of the
thirteenth day, and the Captain TOLD
us, one and all, that our wretched pas.
sage would soon be over.
The night that followed was densely
black and very stormy, but the ship
was under full sail, and was driven
through tremendous seas with all steam
on. turned in about ten o clock and
slept, should say, two hours, when an
irresistable-andto to this day unaccount-
able-inlluence compelled me to get up
and dress myself. The ship rolled fear
fully, but managed to reach the deck
and to grope my way, hand over hand

night and the mad plunging of the YES

Suddenly this terrific cry came up
from the deck below me: 'God Al
mighty help us! we're going ashore.
Put the ship about" family saw the
white waving of an arm in shirt
sleeve, and the next minute was thrown
from my feet by the sudden change OF
the ships course brought about by an
officers telegram to the wheel-house.
Everything was in instant confusion,
not bettered by the ia I that the dark
rocks of the Irish coast were plainly
visible to many OF the frightened pas
sengers. The ship shook like a reed in
the fierce wind that blew, for every sail
was aback and headway seemed utterly
impossible to make. TWAS u long time
before the vessel answered her helm,
and nothing but the naval discipline OF
the sailors saved the China from becom-

may mention here that the Captain
Of the Three Bells-the savior OF the
San Francisco's passengers after she
was dismasted-was with us, and he
assured us that in all his long life as
sailor he never had so narrow an escape
from Instant death. The ship was
nearly upon the rocks, aud at the rate
she was going she would have smashed
herself to pieces in very short time.

Proof That the waterspout Mt Sen Become'
Tornado ON Land.
fAt..

tAlta California;
During the great storm the other day
phenomenon was observed at Hueneme,
Ventura County, which possesses some sci
entific interest in connection with the
origin OF tornadoes, or, as they are popu'
larly but enormously called. cylones, which
is mystery a. yet unexplained. Between
four and Ave o'clock on the afternoon OF the
day mentioned waterspout was observed
at sea, travelling In the direction OF the
town. II left the ocean behind II a seeth-
ing track OF foam, and "as IL came nearer
water was seen swirling In IL. and dark OBJ
jects, either large fish, seals or bundles oil
seaweed.D On striking shore the water
spout changed into a tornado, tearing up
weeds and small eucalyptus trees, and
finally struck house, which II totally de-
molished, the floor being carried sixty feet
and dropped, without harm to the occu-
pants. Furniture was smashed, trunks
broken open and contents scattered and
dishes left In fragments. A second house
stood in the pathway Of the terrible de-
stroyer, but luckily the rotating air column
took one of those sudden leaps upward
which are mentioned in reports Of so many
Western tornadoes, aud the house escaped
uninjured.
These particulars are furnished by cor
respondent Of the San Buenaventura Free
Press, and show that II was II genuine tor
nado which done the mischief-such as
abound In Kansas, Missouri and other
