American printing press was clergyman
Rev. Jesse Glover, and that was prophecy
of the religious use that the gospel minis.

system until at length the nervous batteries
become SO feeble that not only is there no spon-
taneous overflow of nervous power, but no dis
charge whatever. and the will is paralyzed.
When such is the case, every motive for pru-
dence and restraint. all the force OF dear
bought experience is as nothing compared TO
the craving for drink. The sense of the most
lasting interests does rot move the will SO
strongly as does the relish for stimulants. The
determination to have acts with far more
energy than the determinat on not to have. To
a man in such a condition the advice OF his
friends, his own knowledge and experience, his
surroundings all motives for sobriety are as
naught"
Continuing. the writer describes his
voluntary confinement in retreat as
the last resort to escape the allure
ments of the open saloon. Dipsomania
he concludes is as much disease as
fever, and the one can only be pre-
vented as the other, by avoidance Of
the cause The cure lies in the pre-
vention of any possibility of contact
with the cause of the disease. or if such
contact has taken place, in abstinence
till the craving dies out for lack of sus-
tenance. How long is such abstinence
necessary?
1.-THE question 10 difficult and intricate one.
The only rule that can be laid down Is that
there should be time for the morbid conditions
to wear out. or, as DR.. Alfred Carpenter ex-
presses it. until tho time arrives At which all
the tissues Of the body have been changed, and
new tissue laid down in its plase."
Finally says the writer:
1.-THE foregoing experiences establish to my
mind two propositions; (sl that dipsomanis Il

themselves or their Affairs; aad o. that total
abstinence from alcoholic drinks for . pro-

HAL CLAYTON.
A Good Word for Him from
a Pioneer.

San Francisco, Jan is, 1888.
To THE EDIToR OF TIE APPEAL
l notice an item going the rounds,
from your paper, regarding the
growth OF Hal Clayton's beard. In
this article you speak OF him as a
gambler. He did play at cards oc-
casionally, as most Of us did in the
old days, but he was by profession
a lawyer, and one OF the leading
lawyers on the Coast.
You were misiniormed as to his
business, and l would ike to see
the error corrected in the paper
where it originated, and also would
like to see every paper that copied
the item make the same correction.
A Pioneer.
In connection with the above we
state that a correction was made re-
garding MIR. Ciayton's profession
the day after the original item APP
peared. The writer, who had
never known Mr.. Clayton in his
life, inferred from a conversation he
had with an old friend Of Clayton,
that he was a gambler. The party
who talked of Clayton's feats at
card playing called at the office
next day and made the explanation
that he had not mentioned him as a
lawyer, as he supposed everyone
knew of his professional standing at
the bar. This was how the item
crept into print. No reflection on
his memory was intended. The
following from the Alta, gives
briet summary OF the facts in his
career:
"Hal Clayton arrived at Carson
as poor as a baby, but with talents
of a high order he was soon recog-
piZed as one of the leaders Of the
legal profession. AS criminal
lawyer he was considered the peer
of his associates. Successful in
mining suits, there soon came to
him large Clientage, with gener-
Gus fees. The income from his pro-
fession and from successful mining
soon made him one OF
the solid men OF Carson.

THE Barley COIN Err.
Frank Craven Proposes {,

Frank Craven is just now engaged
in smashing what he calls the
"Genoa Barley Corner" He says
the ranchers up there have formed
a combine" and propose to lift
the price of barley to 4 cents a
pou.d. or as near to it as they can.
Craven says he "got on" to the
scheme and telegraphed to Sacra-
mento for 200 tons of barley with
an option of go days on 800 more.
The barley will be here to-day and
Craven wishes to announce that he
will sell 1t at 1853 per hundred.
He don't care cent he remarks
whether he clears money on the
goods or not, but he proposes to
smash the barley corner in short
order and will continue to ship and
sell until the rates come down to
such figures that teamster can
feed his horses without mortgaging
his house. Hence l.53 will be
Cfaven's barley rate until further
notice. Frank says that when it

one from Jay Gould down to that

DIR. CuiOm.. Mistake Regarding
HIS small POx Case

VA OabSC.
Day before yesterday DR.. Guion
was called on to treat a case in the
Southern part of the city. He pro-
nopnced it small pox. On this
authority it was SO repeated in the
APPEAL. Yesterday morning he
informed the writer that since the
case had. developed he was satisfied
that it was not small pox but black
measels. Inside an hour after he
reported the case there was great
excitement in the city. and Thax-
ter's drug store was crowded with
people purchasing all sorts OF pre-
ventives and disinfectants. DIR.
Guion telegraphed to Virginia City
for vaccine virus, and the Enterprise
OF yesterday in mentioning the mat
ter stated that small pox had broken
out here. By noon yesterday the
fact that it was case OF black
measels instead of small pox was
generally known and the excite
ment subsidized. The fact that there
is small pox all about us however,
should cause the authorities to be
fully prepared in case it should
come this way.

A. L. RyEs, superintendent Of the

from Aspinwall to New York for the first

months ago. The reports which he
brings Of the Panama Railway and De
Lesseps canal are encouraging to those
interested in both enterprises. Great
injustice" said Superintendent Rfves,
fFhas been done the DeLesseps enter
prise by most Of the United States
papers. Unfavorable reports, believe,
have been actuated by those financially
opposed to the scheme and partly by
those who do not like the idea of the
French people controlling this great
work on the American continent. The
air ought to be cleared of the idea that
the French Government has any control
over the canal"

vent special concessions like those made
to The kingdom of Hawaii upon sufficient
consideration for the importation OF

clearest language to justify the conciu-
sion that the Government of the United
States intended to preclude itself from
such engagements with other countries

importance to our interests.
Second-That the Act of Congress
under which the duties in this case were
collected authorized their exacttiOn. 1t
was of general application and made no
exception in favor of the goods of any
country. 1t was passed after the treaty
with the DOMINICAN republic, and If
there be any conflict between the stipu-
Iations of the treaty and the require
ments of the law, the latter must con-
troll IF a country with which a treaty is
made is dissatisfied with the action Of
the legislative department, it may pre-
sent its complaints to the executive head
of the Government, and take such other
measures as it may deem essential for
the protection of its interests. The
courts can afford no redress when the
law is clear in its provisions, and its
validity cannot be assaulted before the

A QUESTION OF DUTY.

In the United States Supreme Court
at Washington January 9th, q decision
was rendered in the ease Of James F.
Whitney and others against William A.
Robertson, Collector OF the port of New
York. The question presented by this
case is the force and scope of certain pro-
visions contained in the treaties con
cluded between the United States and
the republic of San Domingo and the
kingdom of Hawaii, respectively. The
plaintiffs in error, who are merchants Of
New York city, imported in 1882 from
the island of San Domingo a large guam
tIty OF centrifugal and mOlasses sugars
similar in kind to the sugars imported
Tree OF duty from the Sandwich Islands.
Inc Collector eXacted duties on the San
Domingo sugars to the amount of $22 900,
which the importers paid under protest,
and then brought this suit to recover the
money so exacted, on the ground that,
by virtue OF the ninth article of the
the treaty between the United States
and the DOMINICAN republic, the United
states was debarred from imposing any
higher duty or any other duty upon the
product OF San Domingo than should be
imposed upon similar products of other
countries with which the United States
might have commercial relations.
Sugars OF the kind here in controversy
were imported free OF duty from the
Sandwich Islands under treaty provis-
ions, and therefore it was commended
that they should be admitted free of duty
from the island of San Domingo.
This court, in an opinion by Justice
Field, holds, first, that the ninth article
OF the treaty between the United States
and San Domingo was merely pledge
OF the contracting parties that there
should be no discriminating legislation
against the importation of articles which
are the growth, product or manufacture
OF their respective countries in favor Of

The Diameter of a Circle.

Comparatively few persons are aware
that the diameter of circle or pipe
with an area equal to that of any two
other ones may be found by means Of
nothing but the square corner of a
board and a rule, without the aid of
any calculation. The process consists
simply in laying off the two diameters
on two edges of the board and meas
uring diagonally from one to the
other. fa carpenters square is handy
the process is reduced to the simple
diagonal measurement. In case there
arr three or more pipes to be led into
one, any two of them may be converted
into ar equivalent one, and this one
may be added to the other.-Boston
