New YORK, October Sth.-The suns Lon

A Medical journal Takes Up the oues-
tiOn.
The Occidental Medical Times, of this city.
has the following sensible remarks on free
Government advertising:
The press Association of Northern and
Central California" that recently convened
in this city, discussed at length the ques-
ton of payment for official advertising at a
uniform or fair rate. The matter of puffs,
gratuitous reading notices, etc, was also
mentioned, only to be condemned. The
papers, it is true, receive pay for legal ad-
Vertising, but at an unfairly low rate, and
subject to dishonest competition. There is,
however, another class of advertising, of
interest alike to the lay and medical press,
the insertion las q matter of news" of no.
tices and items in connection with the vari-
GUS departments of the United States Gov
ernment. Each of these items has choice
of mediums through which to reach the
particular section of the public that it con.
Germs; all of them must be published in or
der to facilitate the work of the respective
departments, yet their appearance is re-
quested las matter of news" Our con-
temporary, the RECORD UNION, pertinently
notes this in connection with the gratui-
tous publication of request for contractors
to furnish bids for carrying the mails be.
tween the depot and the pOstoffice in this
city. More recently another gratuitous
note appears in the daily papers regarding
examinations for vacancies in the United
State Civil Service, Postal Department, and
the Postmaster is directed to request the
papers to publish this las q matter of
news" The medical press is directly con-
cerned In this matter, by the publication OF
nnfinaS frpDn rha r,,aIipal {
the various services. We have been
prompted to allude to the subject by the
receipt Of q communication from the War
Department Surgeon. Generals Office, re-
gardlng vacancies in the Medical Corps, U.
s. A. The communication winds up with
the usual stereotyped formula, ut is re-
quested that you will give this place in
your urnal as a matter of news, and call
such attention editorially to it as you NAV
deem proper. The regulations of the de-
partment are such that this notice cannot
be regarded in the light of an official adver-
tisement." These regulations should GER
talnly be amended so that this notice
should ''be regarded land paid forl in the
light of an official advertisement This
rule obtains in other countries, and in Eng
land, a country not troubled with surplus
of revenue, such advertisements regularly
appear in the medical journals. In COM
mon with other journals, we have always
published these notices as a matter of cour-
tesy to the Medical Corps. We believe,
however, that the department should
neither request nor receive courtesies of
this character, nor should an opulent Gov
eminent be accorded gratuitous privileges.
The United States presents to-day the alto
gether unique spectacle of nation unable
to dispose OF its surplus revenue. We think
that the medical press of the country might
assist, in however humble way, in the So
luton of this vast problem.

SAN FRANCISCO, October Sth-The cases
of the proprietors of half a doZeil Chinese
bazaars, who were arrested on the % inst.
at the instance of the Society for the Sup
preston OF Vice, for selling obscene pic.
lures to school-boys, were on the calendar
for trial this morning in Police Judge
LAWYERS Court. The Chinese are defended
by /. ID. Riordan, who strenuously asked
the Court that a particular case he had Sc
lected be tried first, but to this proposition
of the defense, Agent Bennett of the So
clety particularly and strenuously objected,
and asked for the trial of one Sam Yo
Ching, in whose store several hundred
filthy pictures were seized, and which place
was supposed to be the headquarters for
the contraband goods.
The Court set this case for trial on the
18th inst, and the defendants attorney de-
manded jury to try it. The other cases
were continued until the same day. In
open Court, Mr.. Riordan took occasion to
say that the microscopic pictures in eyl-
dence were not obscene, as the United
States authorities-the appraisers-had
passed them as 'all right and that it was
strange thin6 that they did so if thev
were not. Secretary Bennett said mo ap-
praiser ever passed upon them as all right"
and went directly to Collector Phelps in
the Custom House and showed him
sample of the goods that Attorney Riordan
claimed were passed by the appraisers and
examiners.
Mr.. Phelps promptly stated there is
something wrong about this" and took
Secretary Bennett over to the Appraisers
Building and introduced him TO Mr.. Leayy,
and Examiner Tucker, who happened to
be present
Mr. Tucker said, "Yes, large quantities
of these goods were passed: what is wrong
with them?" Just as l told you, Mr..
Bennett" said Collector Phelps, they did
not notice the pictures inserted and passed
them for toys, ETC. They were shown the
microscopic art, a1d were sur, rised that
any intelligent man should make such
sweeping statements, that the examiners
would pass such pictures as ''all right"
Mr.. Phelps instructed Mr.. Bennett to in
form the examiners particularly about
every kind of device of the Chinese and
Japanese to secure the importation of their
filthy goods, and he instructed the examin-
ers to seize the invoice, in futare, of all
that class of merchandise.

COMMANDER SHEPARD.
He Says the Rush is Little Ship but
Good One.


Good One.
SEATTLE, October Sth-The United States
Revenue Cutter Richard Rush is in port
A reporter saw Lieutenant-C Commander L.
G. Shepard, commander of the ship this
morning in reference to the report that the
British Columbians were lying in wait for
him if he appeared in Victoria harbor, to
punish him for siezing foreign vessels which
were engaged in stealing seals in American
waters.
The Commander broadly smiled when
questioned, and said he had not heard any
such threats until he read them in the pa
pers on his arrival at Port Townsend. He
said he did not believe that anything of
the kind had been uttered, and that the
statement must have come from irresponsi-
BILE parties.
If there is any truth in the statement
whatever, and he could have been apprised
of it in time, he would have steamed into
Victoria and would have haunted the
American flag in the faces of the Victorians.
He stated he was on good terms, person
ally, with the prominent men of Victoria,
and did not believe that any indignity to
the American ship would be countenanced
by the people.
His ship carries four breech-loader and
one Calling gun, and he thought that he
could give her Majesty's vessels a pretty
lively jig, for few minutes at least

Deformed Trees.

One of the very interesting things seen
at the Park Exposition are the dwarf
trees which the japanese horticulturists
are showing, and which are attracting
much attention. Pines, thujes and cedars,
said to be 100 or $50 years old, are only
eighteen inches high, and with such spec
linens it would be easy to have a confer
Gus forest on a balcony These arboreal
deformities are produced by great labor,
and if the truth is told about their ages
this work of arresting the trees develop
ment and forcing it into contorted forms
must be persisted in by several generations
of foresters. All this painstaking is
hardly paid for by the beauty of the re-
sulting abortions but look at these trees
will explain where the fantastic forms
come from which serve as models for the
plants we see on the lacquered trays,
bronzes and embroideries which come
from Japan.
