EDITOKIAL NOTES.

The 50. JGncs Gazette intimates that France
Is willing 10 surrender her Newfoundland fishery
rights for of the British West African COL
Onies, possibly Gambia. This settlement. which
is on the river Gambia, consists OF the Island OF
st. Mary, British Combo, Albreda, the Coded
Mile and McCarthys Island. IL contains an area
Of 90 square miles and a population OF about
$4,000 The Gambia River falls into the At
lantic by a large estuary, measuring In some
parts nearly twenty seven miles across, but con-
tracing to little more than two miles between
Barrapolnt and Bathursitown. 1t flows through
country or great feI tility, and Is navigable for
boats 300 miles TO the falls OF Barracuda and
above the falls for at least 16O miles further. In
1870 there was another proposal to transfer the
colony to the French, but II led to nothing more
than voluminous diplomatic correspondence.
Secretary Blaine on his recent visit to Phila-
delpbia reminded bis hearers that according to
his belief from the time of John Quincy Adams
10 Abraham Lincoln, with one exception, every
administration lost It's second Congress. A sur

The whip issued by the Tory leader reminding
Salisbury's adhereuts OF the necessity OF being
present az the opening Of Parliament on Tues
day, November 25h, intlmates that matters of
the highest Importance will require their atten-
ton. Recent advices declare that the Liberals

that the Queen dissolve Parliament. Under Or

THE CALLS CALENDAR.
NOVEMBER, 1890.
Ridden FORCES.

The best known newspapers in the
United States perceived no indications of
political change of moment until election
returns came in. Up to the very day of
election Democratic journals were reproach-
ing their Congressional Committee With
inactivity and were evidently much afraid
that the Republicans would carry the House.
Republicans made close calculations ON the
estimates furnished by canvassers and
thought they saw majority of from seven
to ten The New York Tribune was not con-
WINGED when that journal went to press
Wednesday morning that the House was
lest to its party. While that journal was in
doubt if tie House was lost at all returns
were coming in showing that it was lost by
a majority equal to more than one-third OF
the whole House. Men who were trained to
read the popular mind in advance Of its eX-
preston We're surprised by the manifesto
tion of sentiment that had thrown out no
premonitlon. Probably the largely in
creased majority given to Speaker Reed
threw political prognosticators eff the track.
The Democrats had hoped to defeat Reed.
and they saw him elected by three times his
f0tmer majority. This experience made
them cautious. Among the Republicans
Mr.. Blaine saw danger ahead, but evidently
lad no conception of lis portentous charac-
ter His speeches in Ohio and Pennsylvania
had a tone of apprehension, but he hoped
that disaster might be ayerted. The CALL
has already shown its readers that the
change in public sentiment is not so marked
as 1t seems. States and Congressional dis
tIicts that were closely divided have gone
to the winning party in numbers out of all
proportion TO the change in the popular
vote. But there arc causes for such changes
as have been made. These changes cannot
be attributed to hard times, for times are
not hard. Business is fairly prosperous and
prices Of farmers products are rising. The
Silver Bill has had positive effect and for
the benefit Of all industries. Still, as we
have said, causes must exist. The RepuDli-
cans had in some way gone beyond the line
the voters who hold the balance of power
were prepared to 60. During the late war
President Lincoln used 10 wait for the peo-
pie to see The necessity of a measure he had
ong had in contemplation. He did not
act on bis own perceptions of right. he
knew that he could not go faster than he
could take the people with him. There are
measures right in themselves which do not
at the first glance commend themselves to
the popular Judgment, but there is nothing
more certain than that when the people
have taken their own time to think they
will do about the best thing that can be

SELF-ENDOWMENT.
Suits Brought to Recover Large Sur

Suits Brought to Recover Large sum
of Money.
Adeline L. Miller. on behalf Of herself
and thirty-nire others who have assigned
their claims to her. has sued the organizers
of the Mutual Self-EndOwment and Beneyo-
lent Association of America for S33000.
The names of the defendants are as follows
W. E. Taylor. w. Fl. Ward. Herr Wagner,
d. w. Harrier. A. w. Kelsey, I. j. Brooke.
C. S. Richman, A. p. Overton, r. P. Smith,
d. N. Carrithers, j. L. Riddle and George
C. Jones.
According to the complaint the defendant
association was organized on January 8,
1884, under the laws of Texas, with Its prin-
cipal place Of business in this State at Los
Angeles. The agency here was known as
the Pacific Coast department of the Mutual
Endowment and Benevolent Associa-
tion. and was Incorporated in this State
under that name in December, 1885,
Policies of 5000 each. payable in coupons
Of $1,000 each. were issued to the plaintiff and
the thirty-nine assignors, and in May, 1889,
the first coupon attached to her CO ntract be-
came due, and she was entitled to $1,000, and
various sums became due to the aSSgnOrS,
making a total of $4,000.
The money was never paid, as in April
1889, one month before the maturity OF the
coupons, the associations property was
levied upon and sold under writ of attach
ment issued ON application of the defend
ants creditors, and they soon thereafter
disposed of all the chooses in action held by
them and used in the common name.
Another suit is brought against the same
defendants by Eliza Ann Ainslie, the as
Signee of 106 other claims, to recover $15,-
432 on a similar complaint.

GENERAL BOOTHS PLAN.

The Salvation Army Generals plan of re-
lief for the poor is the Ian that has been
practiced in Europe for several generations.
II invites contributions from wealthy per-
sons and the distribution of the money so
raised among the suffering poor This is the
readiest and perhaps the simplest way of
relieving distress. 1t conforms to the ideas
Of the Weather classes. who, as a rule, are
willing TO contribute from their abundance
when priyation becomes so severe that re-
lief is the alternative of instruction. The
point to bear in mind is that the classes of
people TO be relieved, and those in close SYM
patty with them, compose majority OF the
population Of the United Kingdom. The
contributors will be as one TO hundred of

consequence of being poorly paid fer their

WHY NOT

A free-trade contemporary has expressed
the opinion that no general tariff bill would
have chance of becoming law during the
Fifty-second Congress If the free-traders
are satisfied that the country is ready for a
change in the tariff in the direction of a
tariff constructed ON the revenue principle,
there is no apparent reason why such bill
should not be passed. The House will be
overwhelmingly Democratic, and the Senate
win be so evenly divided between the parties
that the passage Of a House tariff bill need
not be considered improbable. There are
two or three Republican Senators who might
be induced to absent themselves at the right
time if not quite prepared to vote with their
political opponents. 1t is not probable that
President Harrison would veto bill on the
mere ground of policy. The conservative
idea of the proper use of the veto power is
that it should be limited to questions involv-
ing constitutional rights. On questions of
mere policy the people may be allowed to
have their way. Should a bill be passed
which in the opinion of the President was
OF doubtful constitutionality, it would be his
duty to interpose the veto power. 1t is pos
sible that the Democratic majority may fol-
low the line of action that Mr. Cultivate

porary. In this way it would avoid an issue
in 1892. If it should confine its opposition
to the Mckinley tariff to amendments re-
ducing the rate of duties imposed on certain
articles by the present tariff, it would in
point of fact go before the people in 1892 as
in favor of the general policy indicated by
that act. There may be a difference of opin-
ion among protectionists as to the rate of
duty that should be laid on given article
1t has often been said that the Democrats
would jump up on the Republican platform
if they should have chance. Mr.. Outh-
waite sees the chance in the control Of the
next House. If the Democrats take the
Mckinley tariff, amend it little and go to
country with the Mckinley act as amended,
1t will avoid an issue upon which it has once
been defeated. The Mills bill was the issue
in 1888, and the shrewdest among the Demo-

A CHINESE ACCUSED.
The Assailant of All You Charged Wit
Nurderous Assault.

The Assailant of All You Charged With
Murderous Assault.
Detectives Cox and Glennon yesterday en-
tered charge of assault to murder against
Wong All Bo, the Chinese highlander who
had been in the City Prison since the 9th
inst. in connection with the shooting ARRAY
in which Ham All You. member OF rival
society, was probably mortally wounded.
Wong was identified as the murderer by
Ham in the Receiving Hospital and also ac-
cused of the crime. He was then taken in
custody, but the detectives refrained from
charging him until more evidence could be
secured, as the injured Chinese was par
TALLY delirious when accusing him.
Ham still persists in his statement that
Wong was the man who attempted to take
his life. There is other evidence against
the prisoner. and now that the Chinese Com
panies have ordered peace it is thought that
further evidence will be forthcoming.

HIGH WEATHER.

Barometer, Winds and Thermometer Go
Upward Together
For several days an extraordinarily high
barometer has prevailed over this State and
Nevada. This is the cause of the warm
weather. In Nevada the barometer regis
tered yesterday 80. "A inches-o.59 above the
normal-and at Rosebury, in this State. it
was $4,000 IS above the normal, the high
est the barometer has ever been known to
be on this coast. High northerly winds
have been produced by this state of the
barometer. Gales have swept over the San
Gabriel Valley, while at Sacramento the
wind blew thirty-two miles and further
north thirty-six miles an hour yesterday.
The temperature at the signal service OBJ
servatOry here was SO yesterday, and the
winds velocity was eighteen miles an hour.
The morning call., 1890-11-13
IN SEARCH OF MARKETS.

The Portland OregoHidn attributes what
it terms the "revolt of the farmers" to
overproduction. "There are" says that
journal, $50 many farms that more corn,
wheat, oats, beef and pork have been raised
than the country can consume. In the for
eign market the Western farmer must COM
pete with the low-priced labor OF India and
Russia, of Australia and South America"
The Western farmer has been taught that
relief for overproduction must be found in
the markets Of Europe. Blu: relief in that
direction is possible only through cOmpeti-
ton with the countries mentioned In the
last twenty years competition has been sue
cessful. but the attending consequences are
low prices. During the ten years ending
with 1869 the annual value of agricultural
exports from the United States, including
cotton, was S25S, 100000. The annual value
of the same products had risen in 1889 TO
S671, 100000. The value of American eX-
ports Of breadstuffs to Europe increased in
the twenty years between 1860 and 1890 from
S24. $4,000 to S2Ss,Go0 eco. The value of
provision exports increased in the same pc
rod from S16,0o0,0 eo to S15600O,o00. The
competition which obtained this larger mar
ket reduced the price of wheat in the Brit
ish market from as, so, and in some years
60 sbillings a quarter, to 30 shillings. The
competition has ruined British farmers and
caused material decrease in the value of
agricultural land in that country, but it does
not seem to have been of much benefit TO
American farmers. The latter have sold
immense quantities of grain but at prices
which leave little or no profit. There are
two ways now of improving the condition
of American farmers. One is to broaden
our home market by building up manufac-
turing industries; the other to continue to
look to Europe for market for our surplus
agricultural products. Our Portland con-
temporary concludes an instructive article as
follows:
Sagacious observers of the agricultural situa-
tion believe that The acreage of farms cannot in
crease rapidly In the future, and that the
population will soon grow up TO the food supply
and make our home market even more than 1t Is
at present, the best aud most remuneratve mar
ket for the farmer.
