THE COMING STRUGGLE.

The Chinese Minister continues to talk
about retaliation. He does not reason on
the subject, but simply talks. Ii he would
reflect minute he would perceive that the
exclusion of Chinese lab0rers from the
United States does not furnish pretext
for the exclusion of American merchants
and missionaries from China. He would
also perceive that China would lose much
more than the United States by a suspen-
sion Of our commercial relations with that
country, We are buyers and the Chinese
sellers. The world over the buyer is sought
and the seller seeks. The Chinese Minister
talks about the repeal Of the present EXelu-
sion Act Unfortunately the repeal of that
act is not what he wants. The act expires
in 1892 unless it shall be held that the
amended act Of 1884 carries with it the full
term of ten years. Even in this case excu-
sion has but four years to run. All this
Dro-Chinese work is to prevent Congress
from taking up and passing one of the orig
inal exclusion bills that have been intro
duced into the present Congress. Senator
Mitchell of Oregon and Representative
Morrow OF this State have framed bills that
cover the whole ground The Republican
party cannot do wiser thing than to put
one Of these bills through the two Houses.
We have President now who would sign
an exclusion bill, but after 1892 we may
have President in sympathy with the
man-dealers. There is not much danger of
the repeal cf the exclusion law, and would
not be if it had been provided that it should
remain in force until repealed. 1t is one
thing to repeal an existing statute and an
other to let it lapse by non-action. Prob
ably no one imagines that either House
would vote to repeal the present act, but
the object is to prevent any action until the
law has expired by limitation.
Congress will probably adjourn in Au-
gust not to meet again until December
There will then be time to pass an exelu-
sion bill by the Congress which the Repub-
licans control. Should the next House be
Democratic it could hardly be expected to
pass Chinese exclusion bin for President
Harrison TO sign. The Democratic party
would rather hold the question open for
campaign purposes. 1t can so before the
country and claim that if the Republicans
really favor Chinese exclusion they would
have passed an exclusion act when they
had the power. 1t is of the greatest impor
lance to this Coast that this Congress act

JOHN c. FREMONT.

1t is row about half century since the
name of John c. Fremont became familiar
to the people He came into notice rs the
hero Of a pretty romance, Of which Jessie
Benton was the heroine. 1t is just fllty
years since the daughter of Senator Ben
ton and the young explorer met, and nearly
forty-nine since they were married. AS
Young Fremont then had little more than his
pluck and audacity, Senator Benton did
not encourage the match, but he atterWard
became reconciled. II was early in the
fortics that Fremont made the explorations
in the then unknown American territory
between the Missouri and the Pacific
Coast, and through them passed into his
tory with something of the reputation
Stanley has since acquired. The venture
which fixed Fremont most securely in his
tory was undertaken at his own expense
for the purpose of locating a route to Cali
iornia. Driven back once, he gathered his
forces a second time and reached SacTa-
mento just before the discovery of gOld.
His services were recognized by the first
California Legislature, which elected him
as one of the United States Senators from
the new State. But Fremont was man
of action rather than Of reflection. His in
stincts were generally right He cast his
lot at this early day with the opponents OF
the extension of slavery and thereby lost a
reelection. But five years later, in 1856,
he was selected as the Republican candi-
date for the Presidency, and came much
nearer an election than any one expected
when he was nominated. No one has ever
regretted that Abraham Lincoln was made
tile Republican candidate in 1860. Ere
mont did good service during the war, but
not of character to inspire confidence in
his abilities to direct the affairs of the
nation through that crisis in the nations
existence. Fremunt's fame eliminated
with his defeat in 1856. He has been a
conspicuous figure ever since, but his
career has not fulfilled its early promise.
If be had been a money-maker he might
with his opportunities have acquired mill
ions, but in his last years he was so far
from being rich that his restoration to the
army pay roll and subsequent retirement
was most welcome event. His splendid
physique served him to the last. At the
age of II he preserved the appearance of
man in the prime of life, and in his seventy
eighth year he died OF disease, not Of old

TIE SILVER BILL SIGNED.

There has been al no time much doubt of
the Presidents action when the Silver Bill
should reach him, and if there has been
any it is now removed. The bill has re-
cetyed lis signature and is now the law Of
the land. The treasury is authorized by
the bill 20 purchase 4, COO ounces of sill
yer bullion each month and pay for it with
legal-tender certificates, which may be re-
deemed in either silver or gold coin. Silver
Is recognized as lawful money in which all
debts may be paid except III cases where
payment in gold has been specified. The ad-
mission of the obligation to pay in the kind Of
money specified in the contract might work
some hardship if silver coinage was unlim-
tied, but under this bill the face value OF
silver will be maintained as it has been I'M
der the Bland act. The measure may be
accepted as a settlement of the silver prob
lem until such time as its effect on the sill
yer market may be demonstrated The be-
lief IS general that the market value of
silver will steadily advance until it reaches
the legal ratio with gold

STRANGE, Is 1T NOT?

The struggle at present, as all Thoughtful
people realize, in relation to the tariff, be-
tween the Republican and Democratic par
ties, originated from belief by the inhab
itants of what were once slave States that
their interests were to have free trade.
They believed that their products cotton
principally-W0uld sell for a certain price,
regardless Of tariffs; but as they were not
manufacturing community they could pur-
chase their supplies of merchandise from
Europe for less money than they could
from the North if there was no tariff to en-
nance the price. This was the condition of
affairs prior to the war of the rebellion, and
the same feeling has continued TO the pres
ent time. II is now understood that the
Democratic party must have the vote of the
Southern States if it would elect a Presi-
dent. This Mr.. Cleveland and the leaders
of the rarity fully realize, and it explains
why he and others are in favor of free
trade. Thoughtful people know that if the
United States had free trade the prices
of manufactured articles would decline
They also know that there are hun
dreds Of commodities which are produced
by farmers in the United States of per-
ishable nature and that cannot be shipped
to Europe for market. All of these prod
ucts of the farm would be difficult of sale il
there was no tariff, for the men who now
obtain work IN manufactures in this country
could not be employed unless the price OF
labor was reduced. For instance, where
could California find a market for her fruit
unless it were in the United States? We
could send but small portion of cur
products to Europe, for they are Of per-
ishable nature. Under protective system
a home market has grown up, and there
has been general prosperity throughout the
country. Labor has commanded wages
which do not exist anywhere else in the
world. Free trade would help Europe, but
it would depress prices of almost every
commodity in this country, perhaps with
the single exception of cotton. which En-
rope must purchase from the Southern
States. As singular as it may seem, a con-
siderable number of persons who labor for
an existence would like to have free trade
established. for when an election occurs
they vote for candidates for Office who are
pledged to support free trade. In other
words, they vote for opening our markets
to the low-priced and servile labor Of the
world. They seem to understand that Chi
nese competition, when in California, will
reduce the price of labor, but this is as far
as they 60. Strange, is it not?

MUST HAVE coon MEN.

The caustic comments of the interior
Democratic press have persuaded the E,c-
anainer to come out in favor of a Demo-
cratic Legislature, providing the Democrats
will nominate good men. 1t is not particu-
lar as TO the Senatorial nominee. 1t men,
tions Mr.. Thomas j. Clunie as fit repre-
sentative of the State in the Senate, and
refers to Mr.. Stephen NJ. White as an aspir-
ant not unworthy of the honor. But the
Examiner wants it clearly understood that
none but good men can look for its support.
If Mr.. Buckley, in carrying out the COM
pact which is believed to have been formed,
should put bad men in nomination for the
Legislature tile Examiner will not support
them At least the inference is fair from
the tone of determination with which MIR.
Hearst's organ declares that good men must
be nominated for the Legislature that it
does not propose to support bad men be-
cause they are Democrats. 1t would be
little hard on the Democracy if Mr.. Buck
ley should nominate lot of bad men for
the Legislature. and if Mr.. Hearst's organ
in fit of righteous indignation should re-
fuse to support them. 1t might happen in
this way that Republican Legislature
would be elected whether the Republican
State ticket succeeds or not.

NOTHING IN II.

A denial comes from Washington that a
letter published at Carlisle, Pa, represent
ing change of views on the part of Presi-
dent Harrison on the tariff question is genu-
inc. 1t is well enough to send the denial
along, but it was hardly needed. The free
dom with which free-trade journals have
construed Mr.. Blaine's recommendation of
reciprocity with South America on certain
specified conditions has prepared the public
mind to discredit statements coming from
that source. The President may or may
not approve of all the provisions of the Nc
Kinley bill, but there is no doubt Of his
fidelity to the policy of protection. The
New England movement in favor of free
raw material gave the Democrats hope at
one time of a revolt against the Mckinley
bill. But the New England Congressman
soon saw the absurdity of their position in
asking for protection for the products of
their mills while refusing protection to the

ANOTHER MILK-TESTER.
Apparatus for an Expert Analysis of Il

Apparatus for an Expert Analysis of the
Fluid.
The most recent acquisition to the equip
ment at the Health Office is Professor
Feser's lactoseope which is a complete set
of testing apparatus for measuring the
density, weight and strength CT milk. The
set consists of q cremomoter, a gauge to
determine the relative proportion Of fatty
and watery substances that constitute the
milk, and few chemicals, also a Their
mometer. 1t is meant for expert analysis
and is not practicable for family use.
A few days since very Ingenious and
cheap lactOScope was brought to the notice
of the Health Office. 1t consists of two
circular discs, the one of hard rubber, the
other of glass. The glass disc has central
circle within of about three-quarters of an
inch in diameter and the span within this
circle is clear glass. From this circle,
which serves as center, several radi ex-
tend TO the edge of the disc, dividing IL
into six equal parts. These divisions are
then painted with a gradually increasing
density OF milk as seen through depth of
about a bundredth of an inch.
Drops of milk are put on the central por-
ton OF the rubber disc and the glass disc is
placed so that the two centers bear upon
each other. Immediately the milk is pressed
to the required depth and its color gives the
strength of the milk to the extent it CORE
spends with the colors on the glass disc. If
it be very pale and shows blue over the
black disc 1t Is very poor If quite light it
is cream. Between these extremes the disc
is painted to gauge poor, less fat. normal
and very fat milk. The continuance is very
ingenious and is called the "milchprufer."

YET ANOTHER DEATH.
A Sixth Victim of the Railroad
Accident.

Last night another was added to the list
of those killed by the railroad accident at
Baden Sunday afternoon. This time it was
little Lille Eberlin, the 7-year old daughter
of George Eberlin. Father and daughter
were both injured in the catastrophe. He
was cut in the back part of the head, and
the shoulder and left thigh were bruised.
She had the entire Uranium fractured from
ear to ear and sustained other and internal
injuries.
Both were taken to ST. Luke's Hospital
for treatment, where 1t was seen that she
was probably fatally injured but the ex-
tent of his injuries was not ascertaned,
owing to his being in q less precarious c0ndi-
ton than that OF his daughter, which de-
nanded immediate attention.
TO save her life the only possible means
was to excise triangular piece of the
skull which was bearing on the brain, and,
though this gave a shadow Of hope, 1t was,
indeed, only a shadow.
From the time OF the accident until her
death, which occurred last night at .
O'Clock, she remained unconscious. Through
out Sunday night she moaned, which was
good sign, but early yesterday she settled
into Quietness. 1t was the stiffness OF APP
preaching dissolution. Her death was so
quiet that, but for close attention, the mo-
ment when clay ceased TO be animate
would not have been known.
In the meantime attention had been
turned to Mr.. Eberlin's condition. 1t was
found that he was dangerously injured
how dangerously the next fOrty-eight hours
will tell.
He did not know of his wife's death yes
terday morning and would talk about her,
why don't she Gomez? he would Say,
then lie would try to be patient.
at noon it was seen that to deceive him
longer might work him into a worse eondi-
ton than to tell him the truth. They told
him of her death. Overwhelmed by the
knowledge he sat for long time in silence,
then breaking out he mOaned: ''0h, have
killed my wife. Why did | go off and drink
so much? Why was l not at her side to
save herr" All day his self-condemnation
was like the struggle of the soul and intel
Iect-the soul for its right of diction, the
intellect against dethronement.
He was not told OF his little daughters
death. 1t would have killed him outright
in his condition. He was pronounced in
critical condition, with hardly an equal
chance against death.
Henry Strobel and his fiye-year-0ld boy
both injured about the head, are in fair
way to recover, as is c. Beach and Mrs.
Fritz Giesner. Little Louis Giesner will
also recover, but is much more severely
injured than the rest.
The condition of Charles Roschmann's
two children is more serious than that of
any of the other wounded. One will re-
cover within a few weeks; but the other,
Bella, has been suffering all day from symp-
toms indicating conclusion of the brain.

MINISTERIAL UNION.
A Discussion Regarding City EyaDgelics


Discussion Regarding City Evangelical
Work.
At the meeting of the Presbyterian Min
isterial Union yesterday in Calvary Church
Rev. W. a. Sample presided.
The discussion upon CITY Evangelical
ton" was opened by Rev. Ii. NJ Paynter,
the evangelist, who recently arrived from
Chicago.
Rev. George B. Peck of Boston and Rev.
Mr.. Alexander of Ireland also spoke upon
the subject and their experience in the
gospel work. Mr.. Alexander stated that iE
Ireland the most effectual means for reach
ing the masses had been found in the start
ing of churches in the very places where
the most wickedness existed.
Rev. DIR. Easton referred to the work of
the "Gospel Carriage" of Boston, with
which Mr.. Peck is connected.
AS the Presbytery meets next Monday
the union adjourned until the following
Monday, when Rev. NJ. L. Lamb will de-
liver an address upon the Mormon question.

Her insanity consists in Authorizations Of
sound and vision. besides which she is en-
tirely irresponsible. She lived at the foot
of Union street. Alameda, with her father,
and was examined last Friday on the
charge Of insanity, but it was thought at
that time that she was harmless and could
be taken charge of by friends. At the ex-
animation yesterday it was found to be
dangerous to permit her to be at large, and
the commitment was therefore ordered.

A PIONEER ARTIST.
Some of the Sketches That Adorn III,
Walls of His Studio.

Some of the Sketches That Adorn The
Walls of His Studio.
Some time ago there was published in THE
CALL an account of the work being done by
the artists of San Francisco, but the writer
of the article omitted mention of that
done by Oscar Kaltschmidt, one of the pio-
neer artists of this city. Among number
of paintings in his studio is one of Fort
Point, taken from the bend outside of the
point. Each natural feature of the en-
trance TO the Golden Gate is faithfully
given, and an excellent perspective is
seen of Angel Island, AlcatraZ and the
scenery inside tie Heads. This picture,
which occupies a canvas five feet in length,
was painted from a sketch taken on the
spot in 1862. Vancouver Island, as seen
from the Governors House, another exam
pie, is companion piece to Fort Point.
Other prominent pieces are Mt. Shasta,
the base hidden in clouds and fog The
foreground contains view OF the Sacra-
mento River, with Il camp among the trees,
and the intermediate perspective shows the
trend of the hills, as they fade away into
dim, shadowy outlines. The companion
piece to this is wild scene in the Rocky
Mountains. a deer running in the FORE
ground. These canyases are 30x46. Other
canvases, similar in size, but differing in de-
tail, are, "a Country Road in Autumn,
Mt. Hood" 1.-THE Raibler Lake and the
Dolomites," painting made from sketch
taken in Germany, portraits of the Vert
heimer and Hausman children, the first
children born in this city after the dis
covery of gold, Columbus in Chains"
Baron Humboldt" ana many others.
MIR. kaltschmidt has many imaginative
examples, drawn from practical or histori-
cal subjects. Prominent among them is his
Venus" taken from life from model
he met while visiting some of the cele-
bTated artists in Europe. "Rebecca and
Brian de Bois-Gilbert," from SCOTS Ivan
hoe; THE Last Scene in King Lear"
Iris" "The Remuneration" and many

traits will be recognized as faithful repro
auctions of the originals
