Enjoying His Privileges.

While almost everything else on earth
seems to have changed and improved dur
ing the last twenty years, one has only to
journey few miles by an ordinary passen.
ger coach to discover that the demeanor Of
the average traveller is Just the same as
when his father took his first ride. Every
man or woman wants to occupy the whole
seat. Every man or woman wants the
window up. Every man puts his head out
when the whistle blows for a highway
crossing. II the train stops for over two
minutes everybody wonders what is the
matter, and if the speed is twenty miles an
hour the man with the stop watch is heard
calling out that that the last mile was
made in exactly a minute. Everybody
carries his umbrella and his luncheon, as
in days OF yore, and the train hoy sells Just
as many peanuts as he did during the
reckless and extravagant days Of war.
'Look-a-here," replied the man, as the
conductor told him that smoking was for
bidden in that car, and that he had better
put on his boots and coat and confines his
legs TO one eat-"look-a-here, mister,
haven't ] paid my fare?"
"Yes."

"No."

UNJUST ASSESSMENTS.
A Suit Brought Against the Contra
Trust Company.

A Suit Brought Against the Central
Trust Company.
New York. August 16lh.-M. Gerneheim
& Co, bankers, began another suit in the
Supreme Court against the Central Trust
Company, C P. Huntington and the Hous.
ton and Texas Central. This is continue
ton of the fight of Gerneheim against the
ALLEGED unjust assessment made under the
reorganization of the Houston and Texas
Central upon the stockholders Of the old
company.
His suit recently determined was to up
set the assessment of $73 per share. In
that case the assessment YVES set aside. In
this new action Judge Beach issued an
order requiring the defendants to show
cause next Friday why they should not be
enjoined from proceeding with the new
assessment of ST. 40.
Complainants attack the correctness of
various items in the settlement upon which
the assessment was based, and assert that
the stockholders were Improperly charged
with interest at the rate of per cent down
to September l., 1890. on an alleged IL
debtedness of So eco 600 claimed to be due
from the Atchison and Topeka Company
to several other roads controlled by Hunt
| ington.
The complaipants say further that the
stockholders never had any means of ascer-
| tanning what these debts were, fur. hermore
| than that no credit had been given for the
collateral held by Huntipston's companies
and the other creditors.

sIuggishness of the california Indians.


At first this fact seems totally at vari-
| ance with the fitness of things; for, if
California was not literally a land flowing
with milk and honey, it possessed every
attribute to be desired by barbarous peo-
pie. Its climate was mild and equable, its
coast and inland waters teemed with fish
| and mollusks, while the land abounded
| with game and with nuts, roots and seeds
which were both nutritious and easily pro-
cured. With such advantages as these it
might be supposed that the natives would
have far outstripped the jewellers of less
favored sections. Human progress, how
ever, does not always follow the lines of
least resistance, and it is probable that in
| their struggle toward civilization the races
of the world owe less to their advantages
| than to their disadvantages. To put this
seeming paradox in other words, mans
improvement has been largely compulsory,
and, when he is not too heavily handi-
| capped, adverse surroundings stimulate in
stead of checking his progress. Certain is
it that the fine climate and abundant
| natural products of California had their
full effect in developing, or rather in re-
| tarding the development, Of the natives.
Though not deficient physically, the In
dams, especially of the warmer portion of
the State, were exceedingly indolent and
stupid. As rule they were not hunters
but fishers, and hence their blood was not
quickened and their muscles hardened by
the excitement of the chase; nor were
their wits sharpened to the same extent as
those Of the hunting tribes by the mani
fold and varied necessities of their calling,
nor by the sterner duties of war; for the
hunting tribes are invariably warlike.-

TIE M'KINLEY BILL.
Objections Raised Against 1t by Frent
Chambers of Commences.

Objections Raised Against 1t by French
Chambers of Commerce..
PARIS, August 16th.-The Mckinley bill
still excites commercial circles in this city
and the provinces. The recent Consular
Conference held in this city received COM
plants from nearly thirty Chambers of Com.
merce, pointing out the difficulty of COM
plying with the provisions of the bill with
out almost destroying the trade. The Con.
ference passed resolutions regretting that
the delegates FROM the Chambers of Com
merce did not attend the sessions, as it
could have been shown that the bill did
not Cypress honest importers, that its only
aim was to protect the revenues of the
United States, and that the fines and PEN
alties imposed by the bill were chiefly re-
enactments of old laws.
The Conference decided to forward the
Communications received from the Cham
bers of Commerce to Washington, for the
most favorable consideration that the terms
of the law would permit. The French
press had magnified the resolution into a
promise to waive some of the most strin-
gent requirements of the law. The papers
appear to believe that the American Con-
sular body has the will and right to nullify
the Act of Congress.

BERLIN. August 10Th. - The German
ironclad Irene and the imperial yacht Ho-
heDzollern were sighted off Memel this
morning. They stopped for Emperor
Williams dispatches, and then proceeded
northwaId for Ravsl, wh,re they are timed
to arrive early 10. morrow.
The Russian squadron, consisting of
eighteen vessels. under command of Grand
Duke Alexis, will fire salute upon the
arrival of the German vessels Grand
Duke Vladimir will receive the Emperor
upon the lending, ana the regiment IT st.
Petersburg Grenadiers, of which tie Kaiser
is honorary Colonel, Will form the guard of
honor.
The Emperor's stay at Raval will be
very brief. The Gar desired that the En-
peror should go straight to st. Petersburg,
instead of landing at place where Ger
man sentiment continued strong. The
Kaiser was not left in ignorance of the
Cars wishes, bat barring expressed his
determination to see Raval, in which
town he was interested, he declined to
alter the route.
While the initial circumstances of the
Emperor's entrance into Russia will mill
tate against mon srcdism, his meeting with
the Gar will be in genuine spirit OF cor
dislity.
At noon tie Emperor will start for
Nsrva. That city is already decorated with
flags and garlands.
The Russian police will guard the APP
proaches to the villa where the meeting
between Gar and Emperor takes place, ana
they will be assisted by fifty German
police.
Public traffic on the railway connecting
Narva with st. Petersburg has been sus-
pended, and the line will be used solely for
official business during the coming week.
The Imperial conferences, at which
Chancellor Won Caprivi and De GERS will
be present, are expected to last over three
days If the Emperor fails to persuade the
Car toward permanent policy of peace
the conditions can be arranged through a
revision of the Berlin treaty by another
European Congress. Official opinion is
decided that very rapid developments tend
ing toward European conflict are certain
to follow.
Herr Ritter, Free Conservative member
OF the lower house of the Prussian Diet, in
speech to-day said that from personal OBJ.
servation in the State Council he had the
highest appreciation personally Of the EN-
peror. No German devoted himself SO ex-
clusively, with every fiber of his being and
all the warmth of his heart, to further
national welfare. The conciliatory power
of the Emperor was modifying the demands
OF the workipgmen. The work Of labor
was BEGINNING again to bow to the sacred
ness of law. The Emperor grasped what
was justi6able in the workmen's demands
and protected and upheld them. This the
workingmen themselves recognized, and
they became willing to cooperate with the
Government to give Germany permanent
internal peace.
The speech will draw the attention ofthe
whole countrv

out Food to Eat.
SAN Francisco, August 16th.-Within
the past few days more cases of cruelty to
children have been reported at police head
quarters than for months past. This morn
ing officer Holbrook arrested Mrs. Clara
Clayton on charge of failing to property
provide fer her four small children. and
the entire family were given quarters in
the City Prison 1t is said to have been the
custom of the mother to lock the children
in a room al an early hour in the morning,
and leave them without a morsel of food
to eat until q late hour at night. In the
meantime she would depart from the
house and her movements during the day
were mystery. On several occasions the
neighbors have been Obliged to pass food
through the windows to the little ones to
p event them from starving. Mrs. Clayton
has been reported before to the police, and
in 1887 the GsTmsn Benevolent Society
took the case in hand and sent the woman
and children to Stockton to reside. She
returned some time ago to this city and
securing the key from the landlord of the
house at 20 Everett street, moved into the
premises without PEI mission. When rent
day csme around no money was forth
coming and she was elected by the owner
and moved across the street to another
house. Here she locked the children in a
basement and again commenced to abuse
them. when officer Holbrook interfered.
The children will be sent to the Protest
ant Orphan Asylum.
