Of course this weather will knock out every ryehing while 1t continues. We now have the work systematiZod, and don't anticipate any further trouble.

The early death of Searle. the great
sculler, is another illustration of the
moral drawn by Wilkie Collins in his
character If Geoffrey Delamayne. In
"No Name" the novelist draws a strik-
ing picture of man who has developed
his muscular at the expense of his vital
forces. Over physical training is as
hurtful, if not more so, than no training
at all, and of all forms of violent exercise
rowing is the chief and worst. The easy
and natural plays of strength and agility,
such as are displayed in walk.
ing, horseback riding, fencing, box.
ing and dancing, are those which
impsrt grace, force and elasticity
to the human physique, and with no after
claps. The number OF paralytics made
by rowing contests are beyond computa-
tion. The celebrated Johnny Hamill, oi
Pittsburgh, was psralyzed before he was
thirty-four years of age. And yet boys
are encouraged, especially at the leading
colleges of the country, to enter into
rowing contests which, in many cases.
leave them physical wrecks before they
have fairly entered upon manhood.

Our esteemed contemporary, the
Tribune intimates that the HERALD had
nothing to say when President Oeye-
land antagonized silver. We beg to dis.
sent from this statement, and to recall
the fact that while cur appreciation OF
that patriots public services was great,
we energetically opposed his attitude on
that metal. Beginning with his Warner
letter, and at every stage of his admins
tration, this journal ranged itself with
such men as Bland, OF Missouri, Reagan,
of Texas, and the other enlightened
Democratic Congressman who saved silver
mining from total eclipse. Notwith-
standing the fact that Mr.. Cleveland was
entering upon his administration, the
Democratic House of Representatives
simply ignored his Warner letter. Or
that question Mr.. Cleveland was a New
Yorker, rather than Democrat. In thu
case Of Harrison, however, We have th'
dispiriting spectacle of . western maj

painting. He is an artist Of infinite
finesse, subtlety and delicacy, and it is q
question as to whether he does not dam
gercusly approach the line Ct genius.
The lack of oougeniality between distin-
guished artists and literary men and
their wives is drawn with indescribable
humor and wit-Dsudet possesses both of
these attributes in high degree-in these
pages. Some of the sketches are funny
to the last degree and they are all as njoy-
able as pate de foie gras. Itis quite likely
that the inability of men of genius to get
along with their wives is one of those
numerous French specialties which. like
the ability to make hundred dishes out
of an egg. is confined to that inimitable
nation. One may be very sure that il
Daudet knew number of shining ex-
amples of happy marriages between men
of genius and ordinary women he would
keep then. rsligiously to himself. They
would seriously interfere with the sar.
donic play Of his fancy, and he would
undoubtedly sacrifice his beat friend to Q
witticism.
The translations Of both the foregoing
works are excellent, and preserve much
of the grace and sprightliness OF tht
originals.

York dispatches note conference there
between Messrs. Stanford, Huntington
and others, and speak OF the determine.
ton Of the Southern Pacific people to do
construction work in Cali.
fornia soon, especially in the San Joaquin
valley. Regarding this, Colonel Fred
Crocker said today: 81 think nothing
has been determined at that conference
to warrant the residents of the San
joaquin valley or other points to believe
we are going to build hundred miles or
more of track in the next thirty days.
presume Mr.. Huntington and the other
officials have simply talked over what
we had already agreed upon, and that
is to build certain extensions and branch
lines as soon as the growing
of the district would eeem to
warrant it. The lines already surveyed
and mapped out to be built first ore from
Oakdale to Merced, and on the west side
of the San Joaquin river from Los Banos,
in Merced county, south to near
Lemoore, and on to Bakersfield. 1t is
very probable we may agree to build
these lines next spring. 1t is certain
that now we have not the material to
think OF beginning any immediate work.
The road beyond Los Banos ia already
graded q considerable distance. l dc
not say the Merced line will be built
before the one to Bakers field /; perhaps
they both msy be pushed at once. We
are not contemplating any branches in
the outhern counties"

CmcAGo, December 10.--Forrest re-
sumed his address to the Croniu jury
this morning, claiming that the stains
and paint on the parlor floor of the Carl
son cottage might have been put there
by reporter to get up u sensation, Just
as was done with the bloody cotton bat
ting found in the basement, =
Forrest made an exhaustive analysis
of the testimony of some of the promi-
Ient witnesses for the prosecution, reach
ing the conclusion that the Cronin fac
ton of the Clan-na- Gael drilled the wit
nesses to give false testimony, and that
all of the new evidence brought out since
the sitting of the Coroner's Jury had
been manufactured to strengthen the
weak spots in the case of the State.
Regarding the matter of the knives found
on Coughlin, Forrest declared that Conk.
lin had committed perjury in swearing
they belonged to Cronin.
Forrest will probably conclude tomor-
row, and the court will adjourn over
Thursday, which is election day. Lu
ther Latin Mills, who is to make the
closing speech for the State, has beer
