 There is a great deal of complaint about the census enumeration. There is hardly @ city in the land where the people seem to think that they have all been counted.
 Those who live in glass houses can now go still further and live in glass clothes. It is announced that process has been discovered which will work glass into cloth of any color or thickness.
 Some men are too greedy. George Watson has been arrested at East Milton, Massachu- setts, charged with drawing pensien in his own name and also in the names of Joseph Smith, Henry Rogers, Frederick Baggott and Charles Andrews, all deceased members of Mexican war. He might have continued drawing these pensiozs, to none of which he had any right, had he not also applied for pension in the name of James Johnson, who happened to be already drawing pension In New York.
 The Hachi Shimbun, of Tokio, tells us that a number of governors and local pre- fects have petitioned the government of Ja- pan "for the adoption of some new basis for morality.n We are also informed that the Ministry of Instruction has long felt that ''the western religion, which forms the basis of western morality, is not suited to the | Japanese, and could not be introduced with out great danger." Utilitarianism is declared to be sstoo subtle and profound" Confuci' anism leads to all kinds of anomalies when confronted with modern science, but the pc titionsra think 1t might servs as . useful "anchor," and that a textbook of morality based upon 1t might be prepared for school use.

The British matron has decided that lacine in youth promotes stoutness in middle life: 1t is also thought that it causes rednees of face and coarseness of skin. The British maiden, therefore, is to abandon the invert- ed pyramid model and adopt one more pleasing to the artistic eye.
 American girls will please take notice and govern themselves accordingly
 THE BEST WORK FOR WOMEN IN CITIES.
 A writer in the Brooklyn Daily Times, de. sirous of ascertaining what business offered the best opportunities for women of that city dependent upon their own labor for sup- port, has made round of visits to employ- ment bureaus, intelligence offices and Young WOmens Christian associations, in search of information upon the subject. It was found that dressmakipg was unquestionably the most lucrative employment. Type-writipg is "terribly o7erdone," with dozen appli- cants for each position, and the supply of clerks and bookkeepers is greatly in excess of the demand. All employment offices are crowded with applicants, and when the in- quiry was made as to-the probabilities of finding work for country girl who wished to come to the city the answer was in every case to this effect: "Tell her to keep away from the city if she possibly csn get along where she it."
 The only field in which the demand ex- ceeds the supply is that of housework Any one who can cook, or take care of rooms or children, may find enough to do; but the surest means of gaining a livelihood is pos sessed by the skilled dressmaker. House work and dressmaking, two peculiarly fem- iaiEe employments, offer, it appears, the best and only unfailinR field of effort for women in country or city; the only edvar- tage the city offers is possibly in the facilities for learning and doing such work.
 Another writer recommends cookery as e SUITS source of income. asserting that the woman who has culinary skill may outdo all others i'm money making if she will Excellence of product assures ready sale, and any of the centers of population offer e constant demand. Examples are given to prove this statement, and the woman in need of money is advised to make speciality oi tho one article of cookery that she exceIs in. A young woman in Cincinnati makes and sells go, GOO molasses cookies per week, and a Minneapolis woman furnished the Woman'G Exchange of that city with $400 worth of cottage cheeses last year.
 It is evident that for these two kinds oi work the demand will be steady and con. stant and that the more skill, industry and thoroughness the worker brings to hel chosen avocation the better will be the re. suits fer herself and all concerned.

AlFAMILIAR SPEECH.

1t is said Of George C. Gorham that he
concluded an after-dinner speech, the pur-
pose of which was to define the difference
between the Republican and Democratic
parties, by saying: "In a word everything
that is good is Republican, and everything
that is bad is Democratic" Byron Waters
made little speech on being elected Chair
man Of the San Jose Convention in which
he endeavOred to show that all legislation
for the masses of the people had come from
the Democrats and all legislation for trusts
and corporations had come from the Repub-
licans. Mr.. Waters spoke at some length,
but he did not go into details. He did not
tell his hearers that during the four years
of Mr.. CleYeland's administration the war
Mr.. Cleveland waged upon silver reduced
the market price of farmers products at
least 10 per cent, nor did he tell them that
two years of Mr.. Harrison's administration
has undone all the mischief in respect to
silver that MIR. Cleveland did in his four
years. During the four years of Democratic
administration there was steady purpose
to open the American market to foreign
goods with only the slight protection to
American labor afforded by revenue duties.
The effect of this reduction of duties would
have been to transfer to Europe industries
which are now supporting hundreds of
thousands of American workingmen. Mr..
Waters, as reported in the Eraniner. says
Find if you can, either in State or ma
tional policy, time when the Republican
party has ever been with the people upon
any vital issue" The reconciliation of
silver and the protective tariff are vital
issues upon which the Republican party has
been with the people. If Mr.. Waters will
show that the establishment of the single
gold standard would be for the benefit of
the people, we will give him some other
issue to work upon

THE SAN LUIS EXCITEMENT.

When the coast branch of the Southern
Pacific reached Margarita it was evident
that the final contest between the general
public and the landholders under Spanish
grants in the county of San Luis Obispo
could not long be delayed. An unusual
proportion of that county was so held, and
was used by its owners as pasture land,
though if IL could have been cut up into
farms it would have proved as good land for
fruit and grain as there is in the State.
The demand for its division has now taken
the usual shape. Hundreds of settlers have
set out from Templeton and San Luis, and
have located on promising spots in the val
leyS of Zorro and AtascaderO, bidding de-
fiance to the Murphys, who claim the prop
erty under an old Spanish grant that fell
into the hands of the late Martin Murphy.
The squatters urge, first, that the original
grant did not cover as much land as Its
present holders claim, and, secondly, that
the grant being irregular in shape, has been
made to embrace large tract Of Govern
ment land, estimated at no less than 10000
acres. These pretensions are pronounced
groundless by the holders Of the grant The
controversy is one TO be settled by the
courts; outsiders can scarcely form
versies were frequent enough few years
ago. when they led to expensive litigation
and quite often to breaches of the peace
1t is to be hoped that this dispute will be
adjusted peaceably, by a reference to courts
whose judgment will be accepted by all par
ties as final.
In the East where royal grants OCCASION
ally led to lawsuits, the letter of the law
was overborne by considerations of public
necessity. At a time when the back cOuu-
try was an unknown wilderness, convey
ancers did not think it worth while to state
how far back crown grants eXtends-their
frontage on the ocean or on river was all
that the deeds were careful TO specify.
Some of them, which are still in existence,
seemed TO warrant claim for strip of
land extending almost Indefinitely toward
the interior. On The bank of the ST. Law
renee there are farms whose original title
deeds seemed TO justify their owners
in insisting that their rear boundary was
Hudson Bay or the Arctic Ocean. Common
sense led to a modification OF these limits.
Partly by law, partly by private agree
ment, holders under.grants from the British
or the French crown were induced to set a
reasonable depth to their estates; and so
the back country was thrown open to set
Element. The Spanish grants were less in
definite, but still they were so loosely drawn
that lawyers in the early history of this
State reaped a rich harvest by trying to

FOR SAKE OF HARMONY.

Early on the second day of the Demo-
cratic Convention Mr.. White withdrew his
proposition to nominate a candidate for
United States Senator by the people. The
pressure brought upon him was too great to
bear. As THE CALL predicted he would be,
some time ago, Mr.. White was ground to
powder by the Hearst-Buckley machine.
He was threatened with political annihila-
ton if he did not retrace his steps, The
position Mr. White was forced to abandon
will be taken up by the Republicans. In
little time we venture the prediction that
neither party will elect Senator who has
not been named by State Convention and
voted for indirectly by the people. Resolu-
tons declaring for the election OF United
States Senator by the people will be re-
ceived with derision as long as parties re-
fuse to allow convention to make an ln-
formal nomination which would at least in
dictate its choice. The effect OF Mr.. Whites
withdrawal of the proposition will be to
help the Republican canvass. The fact Of
the Senatorial compact is practically DEM
onstrated. 1t is Senator Stanford this year
and Senator Hearst two years hence. There
is no visible opening for Mr.. White. Re-
publicans who would have voted the Demo-
cratic legislative ticket had White been
nominated in opposition to the machine
will stick to their ticket They will prefer
almost any one to Thomas Clunie with
string attachment in the hands Of the
Hearst-Buckley machine. The danger
which threatened the complete success of
the Republican party in November seems
removed. The Republican State ticket has
never been in danger, and there will not be
much trouble about electing a Republican
Legislature with Clunie as probable DEM
ocratic candidate for Senator.

PEACE IN CENTRAL AMERICA.

If it be true that Dr. Gaindo has sue
ceeded in concluding a treaty of peace be-
tween Salvador and Guatemala, he has rem
dered good service to Central America;
and if it be true that Minister Miner con-
tributed to this result by using his offices as
mediator, he also has deserved well of the
region to which he was accredited. The
stories about his having overstepped the
limits of his authority, and about his being
taken to task for so doing by Mr.. Blaine,
require confirmation. What the Secretary
of State wanted was the restoration of
peace; he is too practical a man to concern
himself about the inStrumentalities through
which his purpose was accomplished, SO
long as it was accomplished.
No one in this part of the world has been
able to discover what Salvador and Guate-
mala we're fighting about. Neither Of the
two coveted the territory of the other, nor
was either invested with authority to inter-
fere in its neighbours concerns. President
Barillas' proclamation threatening the new
President of Salvador was mere bombast.
1t may be true that Ezeta is a usurper who
has no claim to respect; but Barillas was
not clothed with authority to GUST him.
If, as we said, peace has been restored,
the time is propitious for renewal of the
movement for confederation. So far as can
be gathered from the Central American
papers and from the reports of travellers
substantial majority of the Central
American people are in favor Of union.
The only persons who oppose it are politi-
cal Adventures and soldiers of fortune,
who think it would be easier to loot the
treasury of small State than of large
one-people who reckon that in the vicissi-
tudes of war some wave might land them in
Presidential chair, with easy access to
the money vaults. 1t ought to be feasible
for the Central Americans TO make an end
of these ambitious aspirants once and for
ever.
Writers on Central America ascribe its
backwardness to the inert character of its
people and to the ease with which their sim
pie wants are satisfied, almost without labor
This flaw in the national character has its
share of mischief to account for. But the
chief reason why Central America, with its
magnificent soil and its wide range of
climate, lies dormant while all the rest of
the world is advancing is the chronic war
fare which prevails in that part Of the con-
tnent. 1t keeps every one poor, prevents
the laborer from engaging in agriculture
and deters the man of means from in
vesting in enterprises which may be conis-
Gated or destroyed in n civil broil. There
can be no prosperity in Central America
until there is permanent peace, and the
only POSSIBLE guarantee of permanent
peace is union.

"CAvING DOWN TIE BANK"

The Examiner in a recent issue referred
TO this journal, in which it stated that
efforts had been made to ''cave it down the
bank" Yes; there have been several ef-
forts made to cave THE CALL down the
bank" but they seem to have been miserable
failures. In the first place several railroad
men made an effort to cave it down the bank
because it would not do their bidding AS
the public'knOw the effort was failure, for
the paper went on its way rejoicing. Most
of the other efforts to leave THE CALL
down tie bank" we will pass over in
silence at this time and refer only to the
Buckley-Hearst combination, which we be-
lieve has several times tried TO purchase the
paper, so as to silence its exposures of the
frauds which are being practiced upon the
public, both of this city and the State. As
purchase could not be effected, money was
used to establish several newspapers which
are fed with private funds and city pap. but
this was also failure. Even the two thieves
who stole from The CALL $4,000 or
$4,000 and whom the Examiner has
patted upon the back, have not 'caved The
CALL down the bank" Is the Examiner
and the Buckley crowd satisfied? If not.
let them 20 on the streets anywhere and
ask if THE CALL is not live paper and is
not found fighting the battle of the people
against as corrupt gang as ever had con-
troll Of an American city.
