terprise brought all such adventures into
dsrepute, ard affairs in Guatemala were
too troubled 10 warrant an influx OF foreign
capital into the State. Barilas offered the
Frenchmen splendid inducements and
agreed to all their proposals, but 1t dld
not appear certain that he would be able to
fulfill his engagements.
Mr.. Blaine's idea is not to foster more in
teroceanic lines, but to connect the Central
and South American countries with the
United States by a north and south line.
Direct railroad communication now exists
between the commercial centers in this
country and point near the middle OF the
State Of Oaxaca, in Mexico. Between that
point and the Guatemalan frontier the dis
lance is short and the country not difficult.
At the frontier Captain McComb takes up
the work and carries it forward-so far as
surveys are cOncerned-through Guatemala
and across the frontier of San Salvador,
where, if reports are true, the Govern ment
of that State is prepared to meet and extend
it to the Nicaraguan border. At that point
railroad would not be far from the apot
where the proposed Nicaragua Canal would
leave the lake to strike for the Pacific. For
the present the new line of travel would
probably avail itself of the lake to reach
the source of the river San Juan. From
thence the distance to either Pu nta Arenas
or Puerto Limon, in Costa Rica, is not
great. From Limon a railroad to San Jose
de Costa Rica is already in operation, and
from Punta Arenas line has been partially
graded TO the same place. The Government
surveyors could choose which of the two
routes could best be embodied in the new
line. From either it would be a long stretch
through a difficult country to Panama; but
with money nothing is impossible, and di-
rect railroad communication with Panama
would present political and commercial adj
vantages which need not be pointed out.

GAS FAR AS POSSIBLE"

General Hammond made mistake when
he placed the limitation "as far as possible"
III the resolution authorizing the Republican
member Of the National Republican Com
miitee for California to offer such induce
ments as h. thought proper to bring the
Republican National Convention TO this city.
If the words quoted had been stricken out
and the solid men of the meeting had bound
themselves to fulfill all Mr.. de Young's
promises there might have been some show
of getting the convention. 1t is not of much
use to move in such a matter unless we
move with whatever weight we possess. 1t
will not do Us any good to want the conven-
ton little; we must want it good deal to
get it. As the California member of the
Republican National Committee, Mr. de
Young was the man to do the promising.
Perhaps no man in the State can do better
work in that line when his blood is up than
NJ. Fl. de Young. But NJ. H. de Y Dung is
much too prudent a man TO let his blood
warm over a resolution to stand by him "as
far as possible"

THE POLITICAL OUTLOOK.

Democrats are now inviting Republicans
t. make a combination of States that will
eject their Presidential candidate next year,
NTH New York in the Democratic column
They concede that Massachusetts. Iowa,
Nebraska, New Hampshire and other
usually Republican States that have wan
deled off in off years will fall into the Re
publican column in a Presidential year.
Concedng this, they ask Republicans to
name the States they can carry to make a
Republican majority IN the Electoral Col
iFge, Republicans admit that if we cOncede
to the Democrats next year the Solid South,
New York aud New Jersey the outlook
would be the reverse of promising. But the
Republicans do not concede New York and
New jersey. They find that majority of
10000 in New YOrk is the equivalent of
about 5000 in California. 1t ia less than l
per cent OF the entire vote Of the State. 1t
is evident also that the ordinary Republican
majority in several of the interior counties
was reduced by causes not visible at this
stance The charge made against the Re
u5ilcan candidate that he aud Mr.. Platt
were in some way responsible for the loss
of the Worlds Fair to New York doubtless
had some effect upon the result. AT all
events, the most sagacious Democratic
papers in the State kept this charge Gen.
stantly before the people. Next year the
people will vote on national issues. They
will vote for or against free trade. They
will determine whether to keep our market
for American producers or to open it to the
cheaper labor OF Europe They will deter
mine whether Tammany shall administer
the Government of the United States
whether the men who have given New YorB
City the name Of being the worst governed
city in the Union shall extend their meth.
DDS over the other forty-one States. Wher
the voters Of New York are placed face Il
lace with these issues it is not improbable
that the 10000 Democratic majority of the
present year will 90 over to tie Republican
side

THE PAN-AMEE1oAN RAILROAD.

Through Senior Paschke, chief engineer
of Guatemala, the public have some infor-
nation of the progress of the survey that
is being conducted through that State, at the
expense OF the United States, for Pan
American railroad. Ths surveying party,
under the command Of Captain McComh
Of the engineers, arrived in Guatemala last
May. Its first duty was to solve the prob
lem whether railroad running north and
south through Guatemala should follow the
line of the coast and he laid along the foot
hills, or should run over the top of the
COrdillera. We shall have to wait for Cap
tain McComb's report before we know the
conclusions to which he has arrived, but
Senior Pascbke seems to think that he will
glYe the preference to the mountain route.
BY both routes the distance, reckoned
from Tapachula in the Mexican State Of
Chiapas TO Santa Ana 10 the Territory of
San Salvador, Is about the same-some-
thing under 250 miles. The lower route is
level, running over a plateau at the base OF
the Cordilleras, and except that it would
involve good deal of bridging over torren-
tial streams and arToyns, which head in the
mountains and terminate in the ocean,
presents no engineering difficulties. The
upper route would require some tunneling
and much curving in its course from noun
tain to mountain. TIE former line would
be the cheapest aud e isiest to build, but the
latter would strike more centers of popu-
lation. 1t would supply Quezaltenango,
which is the second city in Guatemala,
with an outlet. On the other hand the
route along the foothills would tap the
coffee belt nearly along its whole length,
and would be the means of bringing into
productiveness large section of country
which is now idle. Both lines would inter-
sect the existing lines from Retalhulen and
Guatemala City to the coast.
The advantage which San Francisco
would reap from railroad development in
Guatemala was many years ago realized by
far-sighted citizens Of this city. The money
expended in building line from Guatemala
City to San Jose. and another from Retail
hulen to the coast came from here. 1t is not
believed that the investment has proved
profitable. The Indians and half-breeds of
Central America have no money for railroad
travel, and the movement Of coffee, though in
creasing steadily. has not been large enough
to support two railroads. A few years ago,
when the Panama Canal project was
fiourishng. party of French capitalists
started scheme for q transcontinenta
road to connect with the San Jose line and
to run from Guatemala City to Livingston,
on the Caribbean Sea. But nothing came

FOURTEEN GEMS A DAY.

Edward Atkinson of Boston has told
Boston audience how an adult man or
woman may live in an average American
city at an average cost of IA cents day.
What he did not tell the audience was how
IL get the IA cents that Will support an indi-
vidual under such an industrial condition as
would result from general reduction Of
personal expenses to anything like IA cents
a day. Even in the present standard of
living, production is much greater than
consumption. The cry among the principal
nations Of Europe and America is for new
markets. The old markets are more than
supplied on a standard of consumption at
least four times greater than that which the
Boston political economist thinks sufficient
Mr.. Atkinson combines some of the charac-
teristics of crank with those OF scientist
He is a close reasoner on the lines of
thought his mathematical mind marks out
Having come to the conclusion early in life
that cheapness was the one thing most de-
sirable. he has since devoted his unques-
toned talent TO the manipulation Of Stats
tics so as 10 show how the greatest possible
cheapness and the greatest possible COM
fort may be combined. He now gives direc-
lions which will enable man or woman to
live on IA cents day without an apparent
thought of the results TO our many indus
tries of the reduction of individual expendi-
lures to the amount stated. The United
States Is now the best market in the world,
f~r the reason that the masses of the peo-
pie live more generously than anywhere
else. While mechanics can earn an aver
age of So a day. and unskilled labor
ers from 81 to 81, no IA cents a day
men or women will be found. And it
is the ability of the wage workers to
earn good wages that makes our market
the best in the world. The IA cents a day
argument lies al the base of the free
trade theory. Mr.. Atkinson and other free
traders show how cheaply an American can
live as a preliminary to the reduction of
wages to the 14-eent basis. He can show
American voters that with the neces-
saries of life so cheap, current American
wages are unnecessary. He can show them
that they can come down to the European
standard and still earn enough to keep them
in working condition. Mr.. Atkinson, in
common with other free-traders, does not
apparently think that any provision need
be made for the laborer beyond the food and
clothing necessary to keep him in work
ing condition. The aim and purpose of
their political economy is to arrive at the
cheapest basis consistent with the physical
maintenance of the laborer. Experience
shows that in countries where adult persons
live on II cents about as much labor
is require to earn IA cents as is re-

FREE SILVER COINAGE.

Governor Campbell of Ohio attributes his
defeat in part to the free silver plank in the
Ohio Democratic platform. He thinks the
discussion this plank involved cost the party
many votes. On the other hand Governor
Russell attributes the large Democratic vote
in Massachusetts in pant to the stand the
Democrats of that State took against free
silver. Under these conditions the free
silver coinage Democrats are not likely to
push any measure at the coming session of
Congress. The cool heads of the party win
resist any attempt to throw issues into the
next election that may hazard their pros
poets. There will be some anti-tarff talk.
but the Democrats will take care not to
formulate measure carrying out their views.

Policeman Anthony on the Paternity of
the Boy Claimant.
A very important witness in the McDon-
aid case in the Probate Department yes
terday was Policeman A. Anthony. He
had known Captain Mcdonald from 1865
until his deaf tn. and was for time men,
Der Of his cadet company.
He frequently carried messages, money
and notes from Mcdonald to Claude Lee,
and knew that Mcdonald thought great
deal OF the actress. He was always talk
ing about her, what a nice woman, a lively
woman she was, and what he would do for
her. He saw Claude. the Captain aud the
boy-the claimant. MeGregor-tosether on
two occasions. He heard Captain McDon-
aid admit once that he was the father of the
boy, and he had heard him boast of what he
would do for him.
Morris Nj. Baker was another witness for
the boy claimant, and gave testimony cor
roboratiye of Anthony's.

THE AMERICAN HoG ON TOP.

The debate in the French Senate on the
repeal OF the prohibition of imports of
American pork into France is both instruc-
live and amusing. When the prohibition
was first laid, ten years ago. ne well-in-
formed person was deceived about its origin.
Everybody who had access to the facts
knew that the alarm about tIjchinosis was
pretext, and that France, like Germany
was legislating against American pork be-
cause it was better than the homegrown
article. By whip and spur, in the German
ReichStag, Bismarck had succeeded iD driv-
ing through an act excluding American
pork, for the benefit of his brother land
owners in Pomerania and Silesia, and the
French landowners were equally potent in
the Chambers. After the act had gone into
effect French scientists denounced it as
ridiculous, and two years afterward the
prohibition was repealed. But the land
owners again rallied in support of the
French hog, and Am -rican pork was again
shut out.
Ever since then there has been an inces-
SAINT struggle on the part of the French
workmen to have the law repealed, and
after seven years they have now at last
succeeded. The failure of the wheat
harvest in France has brought the food
question to the trent as matter of the
fir-t importance, and on October 29th the
Government brought In a bill TO repeal the
prohibition, and to lay duty of two cents
a pound on American pork NJ Roche who
had charge of the bill, began by moving
that L should be made matter of urgency.
or as We should say, gave notice that at a
given hour lie would move the previous
question. This was yehemently resisted
by a representative of tie stock-r asing in
terest NJ. Lareinty but NJ. Roches motion
prevailed.
Then NJ. FreOneau, speaking for the land
owners, delivered what was intended to be
an Overwhelming speech against the bill
lie declared that every mouthful of Ameri-
can pork contained 20, 600 trichlna, aud that
the bill was nothing more than a plot to
poison the people OF France for the benefit
of hOg-raiSers in America. He would not
discuss such a bill. He demanded that il be
kicked out of the Senate without debate.
He was answered by Senator Cornil, who is
a physician, and member of the Academy
If Medicine. lie said that whatever trichi-
NE may exist in raw pork they are all
killed by cooking, aud are only dangerous in
those parts of Germany and tile Slav coun-
tries where people eat their pork raw. He
added that there had been in France but
one death from trichinosis, and the pig in
that case was a French pig. N. Roche
closed the debate in a sensible and humorous
speech. He declared that if American pork
was dangerous then American people who eat
it in large quantities must be dangerous too,
and they ought to be excluded from France
Why, he asked, do we never hear of deaths
from trichinosis in the United States. where
ham and eggs are the staple breakfast dish.
or in England, where there is no restriction
on importations of American hog products?
The only country where the disease pre-
walls is Germany, where hogs are fed on
