THE sANFRANC1sCo PLOT.

The discovery of the dynamite plot in
San Francisco is calculated to arouse serl-
Gus apprehension throughout the country.
1t shows to what dangerous extent the
teachings of the dynamiterS have spread,
and, although the organization may not have
great numerical strength, it is an exceed
ingly dangerous element in our social con-
ditions. San Francisco affords good field
for the dynamiter. The moral restraints
which exist in other communities are
not found there. Public and private
morals are at discount. Men are
not rated at what they are, but at
what they possess. The size OF a mans
fortune determines his social and religious
position. If he is millionaire he leads
society and is the pillar of the church. In
dividual worth and merit count for nothing.
Character is valueless. Everything is mea-
sured by dollars and cents. Consequently
such community affords the broadcast
opportunities for the development OF all
the vicious traits of human character and
the most malignant types of human de-
pravity. And when in addition to these
conditions we find the bitterness of race
prejudiees growing out of the antipathy to
the Chinese population dwelling in the city
we can readily understand why it Is
that even the high officials OF the
city are implicated in plot
for the wholesale destruction of the Chinese
and the murder of the rich men who use
their wealth to prevent justice and corrupt
all the departments of government. Wmle
the situation is especially alarming at San
Francisco, there is moral in it which can
be made beneficial to all communities. 1t
is this: When men of station and in
authority set the example of reckless and
vicious practices it is a logical result when
the masses exceed them in vice and reck-
less disregard OF everything that relates to
social purity or security of life and prop
erty. When the fountains are impure
the streams must be corrupted. AS
thieves for robbery have authority when
Judges steal themselves" so do all the
vicious elements of society find warrant for
their devilish deeds when those who are in
high places set the example of corruption
and immortality. The San Francisco dyn-
amite plot is the legitimate growth OF the
San Francisco social plant. That it was
discovered and frustrated this time is no
indication that it will not develop in more
virulent form hereafter. There can be no
security in such communities until there
has been complete reconstruction of
society.

The city council has at last passed an IRON
clad COW ordinance designed to put stop to
animals roaming at will about the city,.
The test of the new system Of water works
was made on Tuesday. With the exception
of some slight defects, which will be speedily
remedied, the test was quite satisfactory.
There is an apparent disposition among in

is afforded by means of the water works. :.
The family of W. A. Rust, the banker, has
lost it's two youngest children by diphtheria
this week. and two older ones are now in a
very critical condition. The building owned

Charles A. Stouch burned to the ground
Wednesday morning, and with it eonsidera-
BILE of the household belongings. Loss on
building 500, fully insured. The Knights
of Labor opened a new and spacious hall last
night by grand ball. The order is now very
strong in this city and is rapidly growing in
strength. 1t is expected that the spring lee
ton will demonstrate fully the strength of
the Knights. :. There is marked improve
ment in business since the cold weather
came. .Loggers are quite active in forward
ing supplies to the camps, and farmers and
country dealers are rushing in produce in
large quantities.

There is nothing rev in the Hosli murder
case. The preliminary examination of
Fritz Booking set for a. IN. yesterday
was postponed indefinitely. 1t is stated
That Heffner has more locked in his bosom
than he has told and will turn states evil
dence. Since he has been held as an ac-
cessory to the murder he has become fright
ened and will give away Blocking in order
to save himself when he is arraigned before
Judge Nethaway next Wednesday. This
the GLOBE predicted the second day after
the murder. and still believes. Boecking,
who is held accused of the murder, has be-
come very much alarmed and is nervous
and respondent. Both Booking and Heff-
ner are now in the county Jail. They will
be convicted in the law will do it.
The grand jury will shortly reconvene to
investigate the charges made against these
men. If indicted their trials will probably
take place at the present term of court
Hetfner has engaged Mr.. Charles Jack to
defend him. AS yet Booking has no at

PARNELL,s VICTORY.
II E11H-N 11H11| . ~ OIs Il
Notwithstanding the contradictory RIM

Notwithstanding the contradictory rumors
relating to the position that Mr.. GLAD
STONE will occupy toward Ireland and the
partial denial made by himself of what had
been published in the London Standard
purporting to be his plan for a settlement
of the Irish question, enough is known to
give assurance that an understanding has
been reached by which the Liberals and
Parnellites will act together The hypo-
critical course pursued by the Tories toward
the Parnellites before the election left Mr..
PARNELL free to act as best suited the
Irish cause after the election. It is now
evident that the Gladstone party are willing
to concede home rule to Ireland on the con-
dition that the Irish party will stand by the
Liberals in their fight for control Of the
government. This is probably the best
that the Parnellites can gain at this time
and they will be party to the compact.
Although it is not all that Ireland hoped to
gain in the contest it is such wonderful

Some Speculatioms on How Much II
will RUv

It is just as easy to say 5000. 900, 900,
as it is to say 100000 or $780,
600 grains of sand, but to persons who
them and do not expect to fill the full
quota in 1856, and perhaps not before 1887,
the bare name does not and cannot give
the full significance to the term. For the
sake of seeing how far it will go we will
take $500, 900, 900 in our vest pocket and
go out on the street and see what we can do
with it.
Two hundred millions!
Enough to buy 100000 seal skin
sacques, which would clothe every woman
in New England.
Enough to buy 1900. 900, 600 loaves of
bread, giving every man, woman and child
in the United States 80 loaves, and every
inhabitant of the earth four loaves each,
making pile Of solid bread higher than
the tallest mountain on earth.
Enough to buy 40, 900, 600 barrels of flour
at SIS each. If these barrels were placed
end to end they would reach around the
earth on the parallel of Boston, or they
would fence in every state in the Union.
Enough to ride 500, 900, 900, miles at the
usual two and half cent per mile railroad
fare, or forty times from here to the sun
and back; so far that if a man rode at the
rate of sixty miles an hour it would take
him Is, 600 years to use up $500. 600. 900 in
railroad fares.
Enough to buy 80, 900, 900. pairs of boots
or shoes at $3.50 pair, which would keep
every resident of the United States in
shoes for year.
Enough to buy 1900, 900, 900 yards OF
calico at cents yard, making 400, 900, OOO
calico dresses of ten yards each, which
would give every woman ON the earth who
is over Is years of age new dress.
Enough to buy LOCO, 10000 pounds OF
beefsteak at 90 cents a pound, more beef
steak than is on the face of the earth to-
day.
Enough to give every man, woman and
child in the United States 81 dinner al
Parkers.
Enough to support 1900 workingmer
and their families forever; so much that il
would take laborer, working Sundays
and all at SO day, 273, 600 years to earn
it.or more than 16, 900 men could earn in q
lifetime.
Enough to make nearly 6, 600 tons of solid

Unwelcome Plants. or weeds.

In a late lecture on Unweleome Plants
Prof. Rothrock of the Pennsylvania univer-
sity treated in an interesting manner of the
changes in the flora of country by the
transportation from abroad of new seeds,
and said: lone naturally asks, why do
these immigrant plants occupy our soil. to
the exclusion of our native f1ora?' This
question might, in part, be answered by
asking what soil they occupy. Mostly, the
clear lands. Why is this? First, because
having removed most of the vegetation in
removing the first, or in preparing the
ground for each subsequent soil, a full
chance is given for any new plant to find
root. Now, if the seeds of the most suit
able plant be present in sufficient quantity,
it is evident that plant will become the
most prominent in the new flora. Thriv-
ing itself, it will drive all others away. As
matter of fact. these successful seeds
generally are those of foreign plants. They
are successful because they have. during
long periods in the past, been accustomed
to the open ground, while our new plants
lived in the shade. and were put under a
disadvantage in the direct glare of the sun. !"
