place Santo Domingo sugar on the free list,
if certain concessions were made in respect
to American goods. If the island should
refuse to make the required concessions the
old American duties on sugar would re-
main. If Santo Domi ngo hesitated at first,
it decided quickly when the news came that
Cuba had arranged to put her sugar on the
American free list. 1t could not afford to
have its principal article of export taxed
$50 ton while the product of Cuba was
being admitted free. An arrangement was
made by which American -four and other
breadstuffs, potatoes, hay, oats, pork, fish.
cotton-seed oil, agricultural implements,
mining and mechanical tools and m aterial
for the construction of railways are put on
the free list, while the duties on other ar
ticles OF American product are reduced %
per cent. In its general terms the treaty is
on the same lines as the one with Brazil.
Under the old tariff the United States sold
in Santo Domingo $4,000 worth Of iron
and steel and their manufactures, $4,000
worth of wheat flour, $4,000 of wool and
its manufactures, S66, 600 Of cotton goods
and $4,000 of lard. All these articles are
now either on the free list or on the % per
cent reduced list. When we bear in mind
that similar treaties have already been
signed with Brazil, Cuba, Porto Rico, Ven
eZuela and other South American countries,
and that countries with which agreements
have not yet been reached will eventually
be included, we can form an idea of the
magnitude of the market now open and
about to be opened to American products on
terms more favorable than are given to any
other nations. The farmers certainly cannot
say that the present tariff bill, with the sus-
pensive clause attached, does not make
market for their products. The manufac-
turers of the New England and Central
States have new markets opened for the
products of their mills. These facts will
certainly have something to do with the re-
suit of the next Presidential campaign.

FRANCE AND SSIA.

The statement Is made again with much
confidence that treaty of alliance between
France and Russia has been signed. Whether
such treaty has actually been signed or
not the Triple Alliance makes an under
standing of this nature almost inevitable
Germany, Austria and Italy, with the fnan-
clal backing of Ensland, would form more
than match for either France or Russia
singly. Consequently 1t is not probable that
either will look on while the other is being
crushed. Some doubt has been expressed
as to tile relative strength Austria and Italy
can give 10 Germany. II is said that Aus
tria las not much money, and that Italy has
not any. But Austria has an army, italy
navy, and either nation resources in the
way OF men. England can without exhaust
ing her credit keep the Austrian and Italian
forces in the field for the year or two the
war will last. There will be no more seven
years wars i'll Europe 1t is more likely that
one party or the other will dictate the terms
OF peace within seven months after the first
gun is fred. The question may be raised If
England viii add a thousand millions to her
debt to maintain the Triple Alliance in its
war against Russia and France. The pres
ent indications are that she WILL Ii Austria
and Italy should be crippled through lack
OIL means, Germany could not long resist an
attack upon her western and eastern board
ers. England knows what Russian su-
premacy in Europe means. With nothing
to apTrehend from European power Rus
STA could push her way down to British
India at her leisure. In this contest Russia
would have an immense advantage. The Gar
could easily march a million of men into
India, while England can only send limited
I'M htyt volt II toi.a
transport ships to land even 10O,0O men in
distant country, but England would need
ut least 100000 to meet Russia on ANYTHING
like even terms in India. The conclusion is
reasonable Therefore that if fighting conf
mences, England will supply the sinews Of
war rather than incur the consequence of
an overthrow of Germany which would
probably happen if left TO fight the battle

A PURPOSE IN LIFE.

On returning from Europe Thomas B.
Reed said of tie people of Naples:
They are half clad and go around barelooted.
but what ! liked TO see was that they we're all
happy aud contented. although most OF them did
not know where they would get their next meal.
They ale uneducaled ana TO them ignorance Is
bliss.
A New York paper adds that thousands
of these Neopolitans have arrived at that
port this year, and that they seem to be
transformed soon after they get here. They
go to work. get as high wages as they can,
live well, make money and save it. They
quickly become more knowing than they
were in their old homes, but they seem less
cOntented and less happy. The contem-
plation of these two pictures opens up q
wide field for study Is that contentment de-
sirable which is born of an ignorance of
other conditions Of life? Is the placid
serenity of the animal whose wants are sup
piled and whose intelligence does not reach
into the future more desirable state of
existence than that of the man or woman
whose mature years are devoted TO an effort
TO do something? In word, is it better to
have purpose in life. or to drift along as
wind and tide may determine? The Italian
peasantry of whom Mr.. Reed speaks have
in small way very earnest purpose in
life. The thing that occupies the mind to
the exclusion of all Others is TO supply daily
wants. When hunger is satisfied they are
happy and content. The conditions under
which they live do not inspire them to make
provision for the future, 1t is so nearly
impossible to lay by stores for the proverbial
rainy day that but few of them try. They do
not see examples of prosperity. The rich
among them were born rich. Very rarely
indeed does one rise from poverty to riches
in one generation. But when these care
free peasants are set down in country
where prosperity depends upon exertion
they become as anxious to get along as the
rest OF our people. Whether they are hap
pier or less happy it may be hard to say.
There is certain pleasure in achievement
though the hard work involved imparts a
more serious character to the face than it
wears when the mind is unoccupied. The
transformation spoken Of is probably more
one Of appearance than reality. Success
full endeavOr affords pleasure in all condi-
tionS of life.

This amount will have to come from the
United States, Canada. the Argentine and
other small exporters of wheat. The gem
eral notion is that the United States can
furnish 100000 bushels, leaving JOG, coo, coo
bushels TO be obtained from elsewhere. But
thIs assumes wheat harvest in the grain
States larger than the present outlook
promises The acreage planted in wheat
this year does not vary much from the acre
age of 1SS4-say 100000 acres-and the
condition this year is SO for winter and 81
for spring, as against IS for winter and 100
for spring in 1854. In that year the crop
was 100000 bushels. This would pre-
figure crop of under 500,000CO0 bushels,
perhaps only 100000 bushels. this year
With such a crop we could not well spare,
at present prices, 100000 bushels for ex-
port TO Europe. Our consumption and seed
re QuiIements must exceed $4,000, COO bush
els, and the stock carried over from last
year was small.
The condition of the markets, however,
shows that no apprehension of Il scarcity
yet prevails Shipping wheat is selling IN
this market at 81 81, with freightS at 40
shll!ing5; in New York it is about 9S cents
per bushel. California wheat is selling at
Shi!lings and pence in Liverpool. and in
l4bbuNh AlC QuUldllON Is II SIllllnH5 Il GNdC-
ter. There is nothing in these pricas which
indicates uneasiness for the future III
none OF the great grain markets are there
any signs of an impending bull movement
And yet if the worlds supply of wheat is
to fall much below its requirements for con-
sumption this fall, it would seem that the
article cannot help becoming good property
TO hold. Whenever the aggregate crop of
the wheat-grcwIng countries falls much be-
low two thousand million bushels, wheat in
primary distributing market, is cheap at
Y cents pound, if people have money to
buy 1t. The operation of natural laws is
Impedcd by the recent legislation of the
Continental countries Of Europe; but STILL
no law passed by Chambers or Reschita gs
can make field yield twenty bushels to the
acre if its soil will only produce twelve
bushels, nor can statutes induce people who
are used 10 wheaton bread, and have the
means, TO fall back upon rye or potatoes.
When the Dakotas were first planted in
wheat shrewd observers declared that the
limit of the worlds wheat acreage had been
reached. There was still virgin land, as in
Manitoba and on the Pampas of Argentine,
where wheat could be grown in large Quanti-
ties and of fine quality. But these regions
are too lar from the center of consumption
Id elnDaEh III WHeal-SfOWiug Win prospects
of profit. 1t costs nearly as much as the
wheat is worth to carry IL TO market. Hence
it may perhaps be said that there has been
no increase in the worlds supply of wheat
for seven or eight years. Meantime there
has been a considerable increase in the con-
sumption OF wheat. In this country alone
the population has increased nearly ten
millions since 1884 and there has been an
increase, not quite SO large. but still sub
stantial, in the other Misunderstanding coun-
tries. Under the circumstances wheat
growers have reason to be hopeful.

Like the sting of a Wash.

The following from the Stockton indie
pendent is the most singing bit of sarcasm
that has appeared in California newspaper
in many day:
Members OF he State Board OF Trade tell of
the visits TO their rooms of several natives of
San francisco who were astonished To learn that
olives. primes, almonds etc, were raised in This
State. his ignorance was source of surprise
until Tie mammoth cave OF Oregon and The san
BeinaIdino County glacier were written up rs
brand new wonders by an enterprising news
paper, whose proprietor IS naive son.
1t may be mentioned in connection with
what the Independent. says that in giving an
account of the San Jose girl, who claims 10
have visited heaven, the Examiner pub
llshed wood cut of the child taken from a
tintype which is three years old. This SUI
preme effort, when coupled with the doings
of the ex edition which was sent to dis
cover the source OF the desert lake marks
the Examiner as a journal of great enter
prise. SO also will the long Washington

tary Noble and OF Postmaster-Gene

DIR. CLEVELAND'S CERTIFICATE.
The Patient He Thought Cured Died on

The Patient He Thought Cured Died on
the Following Day.
DR.. Keeney, Health Officer. is after the
scalp OF DR.. Cleveland, and in a fgurative
sense he will have it, too. There was
diphtheria in the home Of Peter Hearon at
III Potrero avenue and DIR. Cleveland at
tended the case. On Wednesday he certified
that the little daughter, Alice who had
been quite sick with the malignant disease,
was well, and there was no more of it in the
house. Tie premises, however, he said
were in filthy condition and needed the at
tenton Of the Health Office.
In the latter respect he was quite right,
but as to the child the inspector found that
so lar from having recovered she was in a
dying condition. The fathers sole anxiety
seemed to be TO have the place fumigated
and the danger-signal taken down, as he
had shoe-shop there.
When the inspector returned on the fol-
lowing day he found the girl much worse
in fact she died that night. DIR. Keeney
thinks there was criminal negligence some
where, and proposes to have DR.. Cleveland
arrested, lie thinks that a physician who
viii certify to patients eompl etc recovery
when sic is only one day from death is
not very careful physician.
The young son, who took the doctors GER
tiiicate to the Health Office, asked for a per-
init to return to school. and if it had been
granted without first inquiring into the case
part OF tie community might have been ex-
posed to the deadly disease.

WON HANDS DOWN.
Bachelors of the Pacific Club De.
feat the Benedicts.

The Pacific Cricket Clubs game at Ala
media yesterday between the Bachelors and
Benedicts of the club proved an unexpect-
edly easy walk-over for the unmarried. On
their cricket regulations the married team
should have at least proved fairly good
match for their opponents, but the glorious
uncertainty of the game asserted itself once
more and the Bachelors won hands down.
So hollow was the defeat that the Bache-
lorS conclu ded to call their innings with
their total standing at 100. Only five of
the batsmen had been by that time disposed
of. Most of the runs had come from John
ston's bat, who played freely hit innings
of A. McLaren of the Alameda club also
swelled the total considerably, and Adam,
the Pacific Captain, showed good form for
his runs.
OF the innings of the married men little
can be said. Not batsman on the side
gave the bowlers any material trouble in
spite of the side including two at least of
the best batsmen on the coast. Hanson
bowled with great success and was well
backed up by the field. Middleton, a new
acquisition for the Pacifics, brought off three
good catches and promises to make useful
member of the club. The score was:
