BECOMING CLEARER.

Mr.. Blaine's vigorous speech, which we
published yesterday, gives emphasis to the
position the RECORD UNION took immedi-
ately after the election-that the mistake
of the campaign was the ignoring the
threat of the solid South In short what
was needed was an awakening of the people
to full realization of the fact that one
half OF the country has representation upon
the basis Of voting population, more than
one-half Of which is not free to exercise the
voters prerogative. 1t was a mistake to
marshal the campaign upon the alignment
occupied by the old Wing and Democratic
parties, and every hour that brings us
nearer to the 4th day of March, 1885, makes
the proposition clearer and more and more
indisputable. The one hope we have that
take may not wheel into the line of events,
is that Governor Cleveland's patriotic
sense, his training in an atmosphere of
freedom, and his conservative tempera-
ment, will prove check to the influences
that will seek to dominate the country.
THE hollowness of the demagogic at
tempt to revive the anti-railroad ex-
element, and the dishonesty of at
tempting to inaugurate new crusade
upon transportation interests have been
laid bare The people will not again be
deceived by such trumpetings. The
demand for the speedy submission
of a constitutional amendment, the
campaign concerning which would in
volve the State in hopeless complications
in the face of probable dull season, and
revive all the bitterness of buried past
tooti6es the desperation Of beat
en- demagogues. 1t has value, how
ever, in calling attention anew to the dan
gerous ease with which constitutional
amendment may be submitted. There i
nothing to prevent a vicious Legislature
from proposing and submitting and com
pelling vote upon an amendment to the
fundamental law within forty-eight hours
Did ever before people commit so great
a folly as to thus intrust their liberties tC
the within of body that more than once
or twice, or thrice, has been the passive
tool of designing demagogues? If there
are to be any amendments proposed thi:
winter, the first and only one should be {
provision requiring submission of amend
ments at two legislative sessions, held al
least one year apart, and submission to the
people after not less than another year o
time has elapsed.

At Lassen, W. T., on election day, the
votes of ten ladies were challenged on the
ground that they had not been naturalized.
A written opinion was obtained in favor
of the acceptance of their votes, for the rea-
son that their husbands had been natural
lied and that was sufficient, as though the
law could be so construed as to confer rights
and privileges upon women not granted to
men. but the Judges of Election laid il
under the table, and the votes were rejected.

AN INDICTMENT.
The "Argonaut's Explanation of Hard
Times in San Francisco.

[San Francisco Argonaut November 18th.
Now that the election is over, it is i'm
portant that our people should consider
other than political matters, should con-
slider other than foreign affairs, should re-
view their own position, and look their
own future steadily in the face. We are
mistaken if the city of San Francisco is
not upon the eve of a very great, and very
serious, and very long continuing business
depression; we are mistaken if we are not
to have the third of the great reactions
which have taken place in this city, during
which time business will be seriously de-
pressed, real property greatly deprecated,
and the real progress of the city greatly
retarded After the sale of the waterloo
property in the year 1854, San Francisco
entered upon period of commercial mac
tivity which did not terminate for period
of four years. This was reaction from
the prosperity which attended our immi-
grafton of 1S49-50-1-2-3. Our placer
mines were supposed to be exhausted, and,
as the mountain towns depended largely
upon mines for their population and bust
ness, after the surface placers began to de-
cline the reaction soon followed, and for
FIVE years business was dull, property COM
paratively valueless in the city of San
Francisco, and not until the mines had I'M
dergone change, not until machinery, and

GRAVEL SLUICING

Had taken the place OF the rocker and the
long TOM" when agricultural resources
had come to be more fully developed, and
the country had begun to reflect its pros
peritv upon the town, did the city of San
Francisco begin to revive and recuperate
from its respondent position. The reaction
came in time, and came as the result of
prosperous business in the country. An
other period of great depression came at
the time Of the completion of the Central
Pacific Railroad, and as the result of the
building of that road. Up to that period
nearly all the business of the State was
conducted in the city, which had become
the distributing point for passengers and
merchandise. When the road was COM
pleted, the trade which had concentrated
here and given Us prosperity was dis
tributed to other parts of the State. PEG
pie going East had not of necessity to
come to San Francisco to take the steamer ;
strangers, destined for the interior of Cal
ifornia, Oregon, Nevada and Arizona, were
not necessarily compelled to come to the
port of San Francisco to be distributed to
their respective localities A large part
of the business which had formerly been
done by deep-sea ships, as well as that OF
our inland waters, was now

Where Disease Germs Grow.

The last discovery of disease germs is
announced by Dr. Struck, of Berlin, who
has been studying the micro-organism
which appears to be the cause of a very
fatal disease which sometimes affects the
bones and marrow of man. and is known to
surgeons as acute osteo-myelitis. The pc
culiarity of this organism is that it pro-
duces no apparent ill-etfects when inocu-
lated in animals 50 long as the bones are
sound But if a bone in the animal Is
crushed or injured few days before the
incubation is practiced, the injured limb
is rapidly affected by the germ, and death
follows in from ten to fifteen DAYS The
fact that in order to produce this specific
oSteo-myelitis we must not only have
the specific germ present, but must also
have certain damaged condition of the
tissues, is a very suggestive one, as indi-
eating a possible explanation of the fact
that in other specific diseases such as
diphtheria or typhoid, only few out of
many persons exposed to the specific cause
may suffer any i'll effects. The soil in
which the seed Is planted must be of the
right kind and proper condition, or the
seeds will not multiply. For some Of the
specific germs an intlamed tissue affords
the most favorable condition, as for in
stance in diphtheria, where a slight sore
throat from ordinary causes appears to
strongly predispose to an attack. Others,
again, flourish in feeble and poorly nour-
ished persons, whose blood is thinner and
paler than in health, while Others appear
so select a. their favorite victims the ruddy
and the strong, those who are apparently
IN blooming health, although such cases
are exceptional. Those who have been
breathing impure air laden with the ema-
nations of cesSpools, or Of sewers of de-
post, which are only another form of cess
pool. or the air of overcrowded tenements,
which contains almost rs much foul organic
matter As that Of the ceSspool. have been
preparing in their own throats and lungs
and blood suitable medium for the growth
and reproduction in countless numbers of
these deadly little parasites.-lS Sanitary

The PeriIs of Editors.

Mr. Kinsella died of overwork-not so
much in recent years as from the tolls OF
years that preceded. We are in our bust
neSses and occupations very apt to appre-
ciate our own fatigues. Every avocation
knows its own worriments the better. We
do well sometimes to halt in our work and
not inquisitively but alphabetically look
over to the work of others. None but
those who get behind the scenes can appre-
ciate the Weaknesses that are required in
the making up of great daily newspaper.
Its demands for copy" come with such
fearful regularity. Newspaper writers must
produce Just so much whether they feel
like it or not. Pulpits close up for yaca-
ton four or eight weeks. Newspapers can
not close except they close in bankruptcy
or extinction. So many thousands of sub
scribers to instruct or please. The news
paper company on one side to scrutinize
the editorial chair, the public on the other
side to applaud or blame. So many public
men who do not think themselves properly
appreciated of the press. Anonymous
sneaks attempting to make editors
and reporters responsible for their
own adderine assaults. a great news.
paper office is an army, but though
there may be Captains over compa-
MES, and Colonies over regiments, the
Commander-in-Chief is held responsible for
all marching on or falling back. Under
the pressure newspaper men seem to go be-
fore their time. Henry J. Raymond died
of overw6rk, Samuel Bowles of overwork,
Horace Greeley of overwork. Once in a
while We see a veteran of journalism like
Thurlow Weed, or William Cullen Bryant,
or Erastus Brooks, or James Watson Webb,
lingering down to healthy old age but
it is in all cases because they shifted the
chief burden to other shoulders. The col
umns of our wide-awake and enterprising
newspapers have again and again been the
coffin Of editors and reporters and compos-
itors. So while we rejoice in the fact that
we get all the news, let Us be fully appre-
ciatiye of the tolls and exposures by which
it is gathered But all occupations have
tolls enough Multitudes make failure
of life under the delusion that if they can
get at something else it will be easier
They cross over and find as many disadvan-
tages or worriments in the new occupation
as in the old Dr. Talmage, Leslie's Sun
day Magazine.
