FROUDE'S STYLE.

The RECoRD-UNIoN spoke of Froude
with admiration for his literary scholar
ship, remarking that no modern writer so
successfully invested text with that mag
netism that characterizes great orators.
And it was given as an additional reason
for approving the suggestion that young
men can scarcely go to a better modern
standard for literary style, that Froude's is
distinguished by the clearness of his
thought, and his judicial calm and wisdom.
Which consideration of an illustrious
examplar in literature leads our evening
contemporary to empty vials Of vitupera-
ton upon Froude, denouncing him
as false, yiperish, untrue to the
past, and malicious romancer in
the preserves of history. There is no oc-
casion to fight the battle of Irish freedom
and thralldom over again in an estimate of
Froude's literary style. If as a historian,
his study so disturbs the equanimity of our
contemporary, it may still-pOssibly-
drink at the spring of his pure English,
and his all but unapproachable style, in
some of his essays, in "Short Studies on
Great Subjects; :" as for instance, "A Sid
ing at Railway Station" or "Origen and
CELSIUS" If these essays, perchanee, shall
still invoke the reproving frown of the
eloquent Father Tom Burke, it may get at
Froude outside of Irish atmosphere or
prejudice, by perusing the earlier efforts of
his genius, as manifest in "The Shadows
of the Clouds" or his commentary upon
the Book of job. In these it will find it
possible to measure literary ability upon
its legitimate plane, and free from the
issues as to what are or are not historic
truths.

THE INFLUENCE OF THE PRESENT
AGITATION UPON FOREIGN TRADE.

In some quarters at the East it is indus
triously promulgated that our trade with
China will suffer if restriction of Chinese
immigration is insisted upon. The Chi
nese Minister and Colonel Bee are very
diligent in fostering this sentiment Let
us see what there is in it. The Restric-
ton Act has not thus far affected, nor will
it hereafter affect, trade. 1t can have no
influence upon the commercial relations of
the two countries. Those relations never
have been dependent upon immigration.
The absurdity of the Eastern talk about
business complications will be realized
when we change the point of view. Let
us suppose, for instance, that the Govern
ment of the United States should so amend
its policy regarding immigration of Euro
peans into this country as to exclude that
class to the same degree that has been pro-
vided in the Restriction Act in the case of
Mongolians. Does it not become clear
that no necessary change of our CONNER
cial relations would follow? European
products and commerce would still seek
our shores and find place in our markets.
The laws of supply and demand would not
be affected The trade we have and may
establish with China is and will be based
on our facilities and the superiority or de-
STABILITY of the products exchanged, and
so the facilities of trade must remain the
same as ever. 1t will be conceded that the
merchants OF San Francisco are good
judges in this matter, yet we hear no COM
plant from them, nor do they express any
fears Of injury to their interests because Of
the restriction policy of the Government.
While commerce is conservative, it is also
true that it is loyal only to itself-to the
principle of gain and extension. 1t is
sensitive kind of barometer, and would
long ago have indicated to the country
its fears, had it entertained any. Look at
it in whatever light we may, it does not
| appear that the trade of nations is to be
affected in any appreciable way, by reason
| Vi ldNS we may elldCl W utleTIllut TIC COIl-
ditions of society in our own land. 1t is
to be noted in this whole matter that those
most active in furthering the idea of harm
to commerce because of the anti-Chinese
agitation, are those who are not largely, if
at all, engaged in foreign trade, but are
those, mainly, who are moved by a senti-
mental motive, and who assume to believe
that there is to the foreigner an inalien-
able right to entry into this country. That
idea had its genesis in false estimate of
the substructural principles of republican
form of government So much of it as now
remains is fast yielding to the realization
of the truth on the part of the people that
there exists no right in an alien to resi-
dence in this country; under our laws he
has certain privileges of entry, and it was,
and is, and always will be, dependent upon
affirmative action and declaration by this
people.

The OntIook for Fruit.

The Marysville Appeai, speaking upon
this subject. says: Some DAYS since we
published the figures of the green fruit
shipments East the past season. There
were some errors in the statement from
which we took our figures The total ship
ments were l,025 carloads. The Sacramento
valley shipped $40 carloads. The whole of
the southern half of the State shipped G6
carloads, and the coast counties 40 car
loads. As we then said, these figures tell
the story as to the portion of the State best
adapted to fruit growing. There are some
other remarkable things in these figures, to
which we invite attention. Denver is the
center for a population, all told, of not
more than 100000 people The fruit sent
to that point owing to its nearness to this
coast, went by slow, and therefore, cheap
freight. The result of that cheap rate of
freight was that Denver took 22S carloads
of fruit, one-fourth of the whole California
shipment. That settles the whole question
OF what cheap rates will do. II does more:
1t shows what an immense consumption of
fruit may be looked for when ii can be laid
down to the consumer at low rates If
100000 people in Colorado consume DOS
carloads of fruit, what should the 5S 900, 600
people east Of the Sierra Nevadas consume
under the same favorable conditions? II
answers ali the purposes of this article to
say that the amount would be more than
$4,000 carloads. Colorado is new State
and il is not as rich as the older settled
States of the East. There is no reason
other than that of cheap rates. why these
people should eat mora fruit per capita than
the richer people of Illinois, Iowa, and the
other Eastern States. We think that we
may safely look forward to such a demand
for our fruit next season, under the cheap
ened rates, that we shall be unable TO sup
ply it. That demand will increase faster
than our orchards and vineyards will grow,
and at the end of ten years production will
be far behind the demands of consumption.

THE FIRST BATTLE.

1t has been fayorite threat with the
enemies of high license that they would de-
feat all such regulation by swapping the
Courts with cases. In that way they pro-
posed to "smash the law in Los Angeles.
But the law and order people of that good
city replied: Try it on, We will see if the
Judges we salary cannot sit out as many
cases as you can bring. We will arrest
and continue to arrest until your bail
bonds pile up so high that no security you
can offer Will be able to qualify" The
contest began, and the high license men
have won the first battle The saloonists
have taken the back track, and confess
that the attempt to swamp the Courts is a
flat failure. The have now begged for an
agreed case on which to go to the Supreme
Court, and it has been granted, and thus
we shall have speedy determination of
the legality of the high license ordinance

love to indulge, that no law against a large
number of offenders can be enforced if
they resist, because they can block the
wheels of the Courts. That is all bosh.
and always was, as the people of Los An
geles have proven. The Courts and Off
GERS never can afford to confess their in
ability to arraign as many offenders against
the law as there may be. If there is
any clogging, let it be among the defend
ants, compelled to wait until the days of
trial come on. The sicklv practice, too, of
arresting an offender, and pending the de-
termination of his case permitting him to
continue in violation of the law, as though
the single arrest amounted to an
indulgence to continue in wrong doing, has
also been exploded in Los Angeles. The
rule is there, " Pay your license, and stop
your wrong doing. If you are arrested for
one offense, it shall not stay the hands of
Justice against You for subsequent offenses."
After few offenders had been arrested
over and over again, they began to find the
thing monotonous, and to realize that the
friends of high license meant precisely
what they said. So a compromise was pro-
posed, and the law and order people, not
willing to appear in the attitude of perse-
cutors, consented to it-that is, that those
who wish to conduct the traffic, shall pay
their license, but to save them from loss. in

EVEN the San Francisco Gail, of which
we had expected better things, has joined
the greedy throng that for coin advertises
the swindling lotteries of the country in
defiance of the law. 1t is defiance, and
only by bubble can it be defended. To
say that such accounts of drawings" as
the Cal publishes do not advertise the
lottery scheme referred to in the official
list of prize numbers, is to talk nonsense.
For no other reasons do the lottery agents
pay the Call to publish it. We have no
disposition to boast superior virtue, but the
RECoRD-UNIoN long ago, and repeatedly
since, has refused lottery advertisements.
We do not refer to this as mat
ter of example, but because we do

sibility drawn, that it is case of sour
grapes Lottery advertising is unlawful /;
lottery schemes are demoralizing the sale
of lottery tickets in this State has become

viewed, are vicious and among the worst

for condemning the action of the San Fran

A SACRAMENTO clergyman, by invita-
ton, has been lecturing in San Francisco
on lying as fine art. 1t was eminently
fitting that edge should be given to the
keenness of the satire by sending to Sac
ramento for lecturer on such sub
Ject, since it is true that falsehood,
except as fine art, is an I'M
known quantity in the civilization of the
Capital city. Sacramento is equal to all
cries from the San Francisco Macedonia,
