IT is the part of wisdom to act upon the
assumption that the Chinese cooks and
house servants in California will create
trust in house service, since it is settled
that there shall be admitted no more of the
little brown men," Assuming this, it
will be prudential action for householders
in every community to organize, If the end
cannot be otherwise attained, to supply the
demand that will soon arise for domestics.
Servants in plenty and far superior to the
best of the Chinese can be brought from
the East, and indeed they viii come
quickly just as soon as the assurance is
piyen them that they will not be displaced
by Chinese, and that they are no longer to
be exposed to the strong competition OF
that;class. One of the special injuries
Chinese immigration has inflicted upon
California is the keeping on. OF competent
white domestics. 1t is to be hoped that
the evil will now be remedied, and the

domestic economy in this State.

ANTOINRFTE.

Translated from the French, for the SUNDAY
UNION, by Mrs. N. E. White.l
In 1SS-, the Erolutioniste, large Pa
risian journal, which sold for five cents
a copy, had for its editor and manager
Monsieur Anatole Montastruc, formerly a
commission merchant who dealt in wheat,
beans, beets and other like products of the
soil. The Etolutioniste wa not of the gen.
eral character of other newspapers of the
day. I will even go so far as to say-from
sense of professional obligation, easily
understood by journalists-that it was the
sole and only specimen of its kind in all
Paris. The interests of the general public
were in no sense considered by its founder
when it was launched upon the journalistic
seq. Montastruc was simply an ambitious
bourgeois, who burned with an unquench-
able desire to wear the cross of the Legion
of Honor. A favorable combination of
circumstances having advanced one of his
friends-if not to power, at least to the
threshold thereof-the ci-deuant commits
sion merchant counted upon his influence,
aided by his own new position as the ed
itor of public journal. to enable him to
clear at one bound the thorny path to
glory.
In personal appearance NJ. Montastruc
was very ordinary. Although in reality
but thirty-seven years of age, he looked at
least fifty. Not that he was of feeble
constitution, but owing to the fact that,
knowing the first duty of politician who
hoped to win success to be the cultivation
of serious exterior, he had had recourse
to certain liquid preparation which
turned his locks to snowy whiteness, thus
counterbalancing his otherwise youthful
aspect. The vial containing this precious
liquid was always in his pocket. And he
had taken the excessive precaution of
labelling it with the inscription

device having been invented for transport
alton of light cars by electrical power at a
speed of over 200 miles an hour. The
cars are to be suspended from wire cable.
1t is not improbable; the possibilities of
electrical science no one can measure. 1t
has long been conceded by electricians that
great speed can be attained by electrical
motors in propelling small cars. The

"PEoPLE in Washington's time were no
better than they are to-day" said Rev.
Mr.. Iglehart of Newark in his Centennial
sermon. He was sound in that expression.
Human nature has not materially changed
since that day He added that "People
had about the same amount of CLAW in
their composition that they have now.
Party spirit ran SO high in the earlier cleo
tions that men of different parties would
not trade with each other" 1t has not
been so bad as that in the last half of the
century, as We all know. The truth is
that there is a great amount of pessimism
nowadays that has for its basis lack of
knowledge of the real conditions of a
hundred years ago. Rev. Dr. Eaton of
New York in his Centennial sermon evil
IDENTIFY entertained the same thought. Said
that distinguished scholar and student of
men:
The world is growing better every year and
every day, in spite of all the croakers and de-
chalmers, and humanity more divine.

THE MENACE TO OUR TRADE.

We solicit careful and full reading of
paper published in this mornings issue on
the danger that threatens, indeed has al
ready assailed, the trade and industries of
California, and of the American posses
sions on the Pacific coast. 1t is no mere
speculation, but cold and official recital
of facts as testified to by Mr.. A. n. Towne,
Third Vice-President of the Southern Pa
cifc Company and its General Manager,
before the committee of the United States
Senate that recently sat in San Francisco
to inquire into the commercial relations of
this country with Canada and the north
ern British provinces. Whoever enters
upon the reading of the article in this
issue will not be likely TO abandon it. The
danger that hangs over our trade is set
forth in explicit terms, and free from any
of the technicalities of commercial phrase
ing. 1t is a subject that every reader can
easily understand, and which is not at all
involved in theory or speculation, however
difficult it may be to suggest and apply
remedies. In our opinion no subject of
corresponding momentous Importance has
been presented to California since the days
when it was doubtful if she would declare
for disunion or remain loyal to the Union
of States.
Here on our north is powerful COM
petitor for the transcontinental trade. 1t
is exempt from taxation, its land grants
and money subsidies vastly exceed in
amount any ever made to American roads.
1t is fostered and aided by Great Britain
as no other work of similar character ever
has been. 1t has no competition
within its own territory, and it is
in no way hampered by Legislation.
Its steamer connections with the Orient
are excellent, and enjoy the assistance Of
the Government. This foreign road that
has already encroached upon the trans
continental traffic of our American roads,
is subject to but A per cent of the amount
of fixed charges the American roads bear.
In 1888 the Canadian road carried so per
cent of all the cotton goods exported by
the United States to the Chinese coast, and
since May, 1887, when its first Oriental
steamers began to ply, over 100000 of the
tea and raw silk traffic alone has been
diverted by it from the business of San
Francisco and the carriage of the Southern
Pacific Company. Between the exhibits
of 1887 and those of 1888, the American
lines lost 80 per cent of the tea trade by
the competition referred to. These are
but very few of the facts detailed in the
paper, with statistical proofs of their accu-
racy. 1t is there shown also, under what
disadvantages anil unfair conditions the
American lines are forced to compete with
this foreign road, and the heavier burdens
the former are compelled to bear, and
finally the absolute and immediate neces-
sity for the application Of remedies to
relieve them from this handicap, since the
interstate commerce law does not afford
them protection. The article is invested
with peculiar interest, and cannot fail to
awaken the liveliest concern among the
people of the United States generally, who
entertain any jealousy whatever in favor
of the preservation of American COM
merce.
