TEMPERANCE LECTURE.

Mrs. Wells Announces That America is
Not Chr stianized.
Mrs. NJ. /. Wells of Tennessee, one of
the organizers and lecturers OF the
Women's Christian Temperance Union,
Iectured in the Methodist Episcopal Church
on Bush street, near Scott, to fair con-
gregation last night. The lady has the
happy faculty of holding the attention of
her hearers, and presents her arguments
lucidIy and impressively.
She commenced by saying that back in
the centuries there was time in the Ro-
man Republic when tier upon tier Of meu
and women gaZed into an arena upon the
form of an aged man, who refused to deny
Christ, and the immense audience watched
the lions let loose upon him aud tear him TO
pieces, and crunch his bones. The victim
lived in the age of the martyrs.
Yesterday brought the news Of the de-
structiou of lives in Hindostan, in order
that cruel and fanatical customs might be
carried out by the natives. Men are not
thrown into a den of lions or widows burned
on funeral pyres in America. but society
tOlerates law which legitiuliZes the whole
sale degradation and annihilatlon Of men.

toes l am glad that the teachers of the
gospel are quitting thanking God for
Christian Government
They tell me there are 10000 abandoned
white women in this town, and that the
respectable classes of women drink contin-
ually and ofttimes too freely. | would be
more astonished over this painful knowl-
edge if | was not aware that the Govern
ment throws its protection over the saloons,
which stand face to face with the business
blocks downtown and are vis-a-viS with
many residences in every ward.
To-day the Chinese nation is not as bad
as ours. l can unearth more hell in minute
in New York than you can find in years in
the Chinese quarter in this city, We elect
our President by the saloon vote; aye, and
all our representatives and officials in the
same manner. In the days of slavery a
likely col0red man was worth $4,000. but to-
day an American free man can be bought
with drink IN a saloon.
This floating vote in the saloons that
nearly all politicians run after SO eagerly
will eventually float our government out of
existence. If | had the w0manhood with
me to-day in this fight against saloons, we
could let the men 60, for they would soOu

HOLLOW WALLS.

The question whether a portion OF the
walls Of the New City Hall are hollow or
not cannot be determined by proof Of the
former bad character Of the man who has
made the charge. Neither will any num-
Der of letters from Hanks showing that he
was willing to maintain silence for a sum
of money in the slightest degree affect the
main fact in the case. Hanks is not on
trial, but The contractors and other men en-
gagged in the work are. Walls do not build
themselves. If debris is found in places
where the contract called for solid masonry.
there viii be no escape from the conclusion
that a number Of men were in conspiracy
to cheat the city. The bOldness of the fraud
is astounding The presumption that a
cheat Of this nature could possibly escape
discovery must have been based on the sup
position that there was not an honest pair
Of eyes in or about the whole edifice. The
statement that Contractor Mccarthy was
elared over the charge that Hanks was an
eX-convct does not add to the responsible
ness of the presumption that the work may
have been done by one or two men without
the contractors knowledge. If Mr.. Nc
carthy had not known that in this instance
Hanks was telling the truth, he would not
have cared whether the accuser was con-
Yict or not. A little Investigation would
show whether there was any truth in his
statements. The discovery presents another
instance in which men who regard them
selves as reputable citizens have cOnniyed
at a cheat upon the public. As matters now
stand a motion to abolish the Office Of Sup
erintendent Of Construction is in order. Ii
such work as is represented to have been
done could go on without Mr.. BOyd's knowl-
edge, he is useless official; if it went on
with his knowledge, there is another public
institution in which he would do the State
better service than lie has done about the

AMERICANs ABRoAp.

Among the great number OF Americans
who live in the hope of going to Europe
some day. it is not surprising that good
many black sheep should be discovered.
The State Department has often been i'm
posed upon, and it is not new thing to
have complaints come from American Con-
suls that letters of introduction have been
put to unworthy uses. The average travel
ing American thinks the American Consul
ate in foreign countries is supported for his
especial benefit. He expects the office to be
placed at his service while he remains in
the city of its location. If he is socially in
clined he expects the Office to get him in
vitations to balls and parties, and if he runs
out Of funds he assumes that the cireum-
stance of nationality should secure him
loan. The tourist who happens also to be
a man of position at home sometimes makes
a failure to comply with all his demands
cause of complaint to the State Depart
ment- Mr.. Blaine, it is now said, has de-
cided to issue no more diplomatic introduc-
tions to tourists. AS it is well-nigh impossi-
BILE to issue such introductions at all with
out indorsing men of whom the depart
ment can have no personal knowledge, the
better way, perhaps, is to let tourists de-
e pend upon private credentials.

ICE.

At the first thought one would say that
rise in the price of ice would not mate
rally increase the cost of the absolute nee
essaries of life The proportion Of people
who include ice among their daily orders to
the produce-dealer is not large. But the
general use of ice for the preservation of
perishable articles of food subjects all who
purchase such articles to the consequence
of an ice famine. Butchers charge more
for meat which ice has preserved when ice
is dear than when ice is cheap. Vegeta-
bles, butter, milk and fruit are kept in good
condition by creating an artificial atmos-
phere, which is expensive in proportion as
ice is dear. In Eastern cities, where every
draught Of heated atmosphere neutralizes
the effects Of several pounds of ice, butch
ers' shops close during the hottest hours
without much regard to the convenience of
their customers. The sea-breeze, which is
regarded by many of our people as an ex-
cuse for rushing into the country in the
latter part Of May, performs the duty which
ice only partially performs in the East 1t
not only keeps the atmosphere Of butcher
shops cool, but it penetrates into private
houses without cost to residents. The fact
that 1t carries Il little dust with it may be
Objectionable, but if the breeze should sus-
pend operations for a week or TWO we
should sigh for it, dust and all.

MISSING PERSONS.

Two Strange Disappearances Reported
to the Police.
Charles Nagle, shoemaker, "a years of
age, disappeared last Thursday under cir
cumstances which point to suicide, and has
not been seen since by his friends On the
evening of that day he left the Turk-street
Hotel in bad health, and with very little
money moreover in his pocket He wore a
dark suit and thin moustache. His COM
plexion is dark, and hair dark brown.
Nagle is said to have been an industrious,
sober mechanic, who never drank nor gam
bled, and worked for Ferdinand Seefger
on Sixth street, near Folsom. OF late he
had been very sickly, and often spoke of
buying pistol to use on himself, as he saw
no more attraction in his life. His brother
Jacob. of All Clementina street, has made
thorough search for him, but did not find
The slightest clew to his whereabouts.
Frederick West, of 2G0 Stevenson street,
reported yesterday at police headquarters
that his son. Arthur Alfred West, II years
of age, with light complexion and graylSh
blue eyes, had left Sacramento on May 9th
to come to him in this city, and arrived here
the same evening. Next morning the father
received letter from him through the mail
stating that he had arrived here and would
go to his house SO soon as he had his ad-
dress.
The father replied to this letter as re-
queSted, but heard no more of his boy, who
Is represented as a very steady youth. Not
a word has been heard from the missing
boy, and the father is greatly exercised over
the unaccountable affair.

A TARIFF cOMMIssIoN PROPOSED.

An amendment to the Mckinley Tariff
Bill is before the Senate providing for the
creation Of permanent Customs Commits
sion TO Investigate and report upon all mat
ters affecting the tariff. 1t would be the
duty Of the committee to hear all complaints
agai inst the workings of the Mckinley
Tariff Bill, if it should be enacted, and to
consider amendments which representa-
tives Of the various Industries might sug-
gest. An objection to the creation of such
a commission is that there would be at
every session Of Congress propositions to
review the tariff. Nothing could be more
detrimental to the industries OF the coun-
try than constantly impending changes in
the rates of duty imposed by the tariff
Should the Democrats carry the next House
they would feel it their duty to review the
tariff on the basis of duties for revenue
only, but if the Republicans succeed the
tariff should stand until there should be an
unmIstakable demand for a change. Any
uncertainty as to what the duties will be
the next year deters capital from seeking
investment in industrial enterprises. In
periods of such doubt capital accepts low
rates of interest with good security rather
than take the chances of loss through
change in the laws.
The morning call., 1890-06-09
THE TARIFF AND SILVER.

The CALL has no especial information as
TO the present party relations of Mr.. Francis
G. Newlands, but he clearly is not i'll posi-
ton to speak for the Republicans either up
on the tariff or silver questions. His state
ment in the Post interview published on
Saturday that ''the Republicans of the
West have cheerfully joined the Republi-
cans of the East in protecting industries Of
the country, although those interests lie
almost entirely east of Ohio" is view Of
a national question no real friend of the
protective system can accept. The Tariff
Bill now before the Senate is quite as much
in the interest of the West as of the East.
In New England the complaint is that the
interests Of the East are sacrificed to build
up the interests of the West. The feature
OF the Mckinley bill is to protect the labor
engaged in tie production of raw material
as we'll as the labor engaged in the prOduc-
ton of finished goods The East has Op-
posed the tariff on these grounds. Although
Eastern Republicans voted for the bill in
the House. the Eastern Republican press
and Eastern Representatives urged amend
ments to admit certain raw material free OF
duty. OF the Two sections the W est, or the
South and West, have greater need of
continuance of the protective system than
the East. The manufacturing establish
ments of the New England and Middle
States are so well established and are sus-
tanned by such vast capital that with little
reduction i'll wages they could compete
with similar establishments in Europe. But
i'll the South and West the manufacturing
industries are not so well established. They
are yet in the condition of infant industries,
and for years to come will need the aid de-
rived from duties on such foreign imports
as compete with their products. THE CALL
is glad to see that Mr.. Newlands is much
in earnest on the silver question, but his ar
gument in support of bimetallism gains no
force from his appeal to sectional pr eju-
dices.
The morning call., 1890-06-09
soUEEzING rnE SUGAR TRUST.

A New York dispatch says that since
Spreckels' sugar refinery at Philadelphia
commenced work the Sugar Trust has sold
only about 90 per cent Of the entire supply
of the country. From the nature of
trusts methods it cannot make large profits
unless it can maintain monopoly of the
trade. This id the sugar case may be done
by securing a monopoly of raw material or
by closing up rival refining establishments.
AS things now are if Mr.. Spreckels should
join the trust or should sell out TO the trust,
the needed monopoly would be established.
But so far it is believed that Mr.. Spreckels
has made more money out of the trust than
he could have made as party in it. If be
were in the trust he would. of course, have
to stand his share Of the expense of limit
ing the output. In other words, he would
have to help pay refneries that are re-
quired to be idle. Out of the trust he sells
sugar at about trust prices without the ex-
pense of limiting the supply. This view Of
Mr.. Spreekels' present relations to the
Sugar Trust does not assume that he would
join the trust If it should become his in
terest to do so, but there is additional
SECURITY in the fact that apparently it is to
his interest to remain independent. of it.

EDITORIAL NOTES.

The Licensing Bill has met with such
hostility in the British Commons that Bal
foups adherents insist that precedence be
given the Tithes and Irish Land bills The
latter measure proposes to enable tenant
to buy his holding at the price of twenty
years purchase of the net rent and this sum
may include two years arrears. The ten
ants nominal repayment will be 4 per cent
per annum on the purchase money, OF which
2A per cent is for interest, per cent for a
sinking fund, and z per cent for local per-
centage and insurance fund. The landlord
will be paid with new "a per cent stock,
the interest Of which is not to be reduced
for thirty years.
