good authority that natural ice can be OBJ
tanned free on board the cars at Truckee for
just so cents ton, but it costs So a ton here.
That is pretty good margin of profit, ISM
it? Now If 1t was question of coal one
could understand the difference in the value
at the pits mouth and in the cellar OF the
consumer, because the latter is helpless,
since no one has been able to manufacture
coal or devise substitute for it. But with
unlimited facilities for the manufacture of
ice right here in town, it is mighty strange
that price of So a ton should rule pretty
much all the year round"
The reporter interviewed still smaller
consumer, who furnished still more startling
statistics. He said: Il am not in the habit of
using ice except In very warm weather, and
the consequence is that just now l am at the
mercy of the ice people. a little chunk of
ice like tins holdng up piece somewhat
larger than brick costs me 90 cents, being
at the rate of more than 2 cents pound.
am told that ice can be sold at good profit
at quarter of cent pound, but when
demonstrated | was told right away that ii
wanted better price l must put myself in
the hands of the company and take
all the year round. You might say
that few cents a week during two
or three months don't make much
difference, but that's not it. 1t isn't the
principle, but the want of principle in the
thing. Ice is thing that ought to be in
every. household during the summer. but
how few people in San Francisco use ice
compared with the Eastern cities. Most of
the ice used in New York. Philadelphia.
Washington and Baltimore is brought all
the way from the KeuDebec River in
Maine, three times the distance that has to
be covered here. yet the price is not fourth
of what rules in San Francisco, even when
the Eastern cities are in the middle Of hot
spell. l understand they have ice trusts
and corners over there but they have
found a way to keep ice at a reasonable
figure anyhow. If that hot spell had
lasted three months here, as it does
over there, what sort of a spectacle
would you have seen in the stores of our
small consumers? Why, you would have
seen the young man holding up his best girl
in dead faint at the sight of ice-cream cost
ing So a plate, and every poor man that
wanted iced lager would have to pay about
30 cents for it, 3 cents for the beer and 40
cents for the ice. That would have been

Louis S. Rosenberg, aged %. book keeper
for S. KoshIand & Co., 222 California street,
who was found dead last Wednesday night
In the rear portion of the firms store, with
bullet wound through his brain. The

the jury, who returned two verdicts. One,
signed by seven jurors. was to the effect
that Rosenberg had committed suicide
while insane, and another, signed by three.
stated that the deceased was killed by q
gunshot wound, and that the evidence pre-
sented did not bear out that he was insane
at the time of his death.
1t was reported yesterday that Rosenberg
had lavished large sums of money in pro-
viding one Lena Parker with sealskins, dia-
moDdS aud other luyuries, and that after
she had obtained several thousand dollars
from him she had discarded him. This
affected him deeply, and he is said to have
become partially insane in consequences.

paid the penalty. These small consumers

suppose that with an abundant natural sup
ply of ice all the year round as near as

the coast from Alaska, and at least four
factories within easy reach of the city, ice
ought to be plentiful and cheap. AS mat

We are as much in the hands of the ice
dealers as it a complete monopoly existed"

The correspondence now rife in
the Reform party's organ, alleged to
be written by indignant and other
citizens, reminds one strongly of
similar communications which APP
peared in the public press of Homo
lulu, when indignant and other citi-
zens were attempting to force a
partisan decision from our Supreme
Court upon the veto question, but a
few swift months ago.
No matter howsoever indignant
any given citizen may become, it will
be found a hard and rocky path to
travel to attempt to show that Article
~ of the old Constitution differs
from Article 4 of the new, in intent
or nearing, when the Supreme Court
have decided that the present Con-
sttution does not cover the point at
issue, and that their decision is,
therefore, properly based upon Eng
lieh Constitutional precedent.
We are in no way prone to an I'M
qualified endorsement of the Supreme
Court and will not be accused of ia
voritism in allowing judgment to
take precedence in the expression of
an opinion upon the facts.
All will remember how facts were
lost sight of in the veto question,
during newspaper discussion thereof.
Many will acknowledge that, upon
the admittance of cool afterthought,
they came to the conclusion that the
Supreme Court was right in that
case, as, in q few weeks or months
at most, the Court will doubtless be
admitted to be right in the present
case. In the two decisions mention
ed there is sufficient proof that our
Supreme Court is in no way cowardly
or evasive, as limited by the partisan
correspondents Of the Advertiser.
Most people thoroughly ander-
stand the present position of the men
who are now engaged in declaiming
against the integrity of our Supreme
Court-they are politico-legal gentle
men or editors, who have vet to learn
that a little of real patriotism is
worth more to our national prosper
ity than a great deal of political and
partisan ranc0r.

Two interesting books have just
been issued by members of the I'M
fortunate rear column of Stanley's
Emin Pasha Relief Expedition. The
first is entitled, The Story of the
Rear Column, by the late James 5.
Jamison, naturalist of the expedition,
and the second is, My Life with
Stanley's Rear Guard, by Captain
Herbert Ward. 1t is expected these
two books, with Lieutenant Jephson's
late publication, will 60 far toward
settling the question of blame, as to
the failure of Stanley's rear column,
which has already raised such bitter
and Improbable strife through the
press. Captain Wards book has
already reached Honolulu and upon
perusal is found to be full of interest
and detailed information relating to

Science must be ashamed of Art
in view of recent coal mine horrors.
One hundred lives were sacrificed in
a Pennsylvania coal mine, and about
the same number in European coal
mine, by explosions of fire damp
within a few days of each other. 1t
is many years since Humphrey Davy,
honored son of Science, gave Art the
safety lamp as a sure preventive of
such casualties, but the reckless
sons of Art will persist in carrying
naked flame into the dark magazines
of devastation, or neglect the pre-
scribed processes for keeping the
subterranean carbon chambers clear
of gas, so that the sparks from a
blast turn the surcharged air of the
populous caverDs into flashing vol
umes of death.

TESTS OF SUGAR.

Washington, February 90. II.
Tittmau of the Board of Weights
and Measures branch of the Coast
and Geodetic Survey, has made a
report on his Investigations into the
accuracy of the standard used by the
customs appraisers Of Philadelphia,
Boston and New York. In the
polariscope tests Of sugar he finds
that the New York measurements,
which have been complained of as
far too low, are as near, if not
nearer, to the new standard than
those made at Boston or Phladel-
phia. At both the latter offices the
valuations are, apparently, decidedly
more erratic and variable than those
arrived at in New York.

One of the latest financial posers
has just been asked by Abram 5.
Hewitt, of political fame. Mr..
Hewitt is a large silver miner and
smelter of silver, but nevertheless
has a very clear head, so the gold
men declare, on the future effects of
the silver bill now before Congress.
Mr.. Hewitt asks, Can a silver dollar
be made equal in value to a gold
dollar, by legal enactment, after gold
has been forced to a premium by an
oyercoinage of silver, which is sure
to follow the provisions of the present
bill?
