try, and it was reported that he had gone to

all completely in the crime, and is as fol-

TIN AND FREE TRADE.

The New York Times comments upon the
fact that tin is being produced in CONNER
cial quantities in California without the aid
of tariff, as if the fact furnished evidence
that other Industries could be successfully
prosecuted under free trade. The Times
says the owners Of the Temescal mines are
selling their tin at the market price of tin
imported from Malacca and Australia. and
will continue to sell at that price, The fact
that tin can be produced in high-priced
labor country like California and sold at
the market price of foreign tin does not
prove that wool can be manufactured in
this State in competition with the wool in
cheap-labor countries. The working of n
mine depends largely upon the richness of
the mineral deposit, the character of the
ore and the facilities the surrounding coun-
try offers for effective work. The TemescaI
tin mines are reported as above the average
richness, to be of a character easily han
died and favorably situated for work.
Under these conditions the owners compete
with imported tin But if tin mine pos
sessing the advantages described had not
been discovered no one would have been
found to invest the money to work the
mine. From mines equally rich tin would
be imported at less than the cost of the ma
tive product

DECLINE IN CABLE BUSINESS.

Foreign dispatches printed in Saturdays
CALL make two distinct statements which
bear no apparent relation to each other, but
which are both liable to be attributed to the
same cause. The statements are the partial
failure of the Russian grain crop and the
decline in the business of the Ailantic cable
companies since the Mckinley tariff went
into operation. Precisely how the McKm-
ley act caused the climatic Irregularities
W hch are apparently responsible for Rus
sia's grain crop may not be demonstrated
but II would be hard To prove that the act
did not have such effect As the trade be-
tween England and the United States had
not at the last reports shown any material
decrease since the Mckinley bill passed, any
decline in the Atlantic cable business is as
vaguely due to that act as the partial failure
Of the Russian grain crop. Eventually"
says the President Of the Direct Cable Com
pany, the United States will discover that
they suffer more than anyone else from the
new law" Possibly, but the chances just
at present are the other way. The British
Consul-General to the United States admits
that manufacturing industries are reviving,
and traces the fact to the new tariff act
The act has only been in partial operation
six months. bnt we see On every side evil
dences of its beneficial effect upon our indus

A VICIOUS HORSE.
Still Little Boy Was Able to Control


Still Little Boy Was Able to Control
Him.
j. W. Brown, an importer and breeder OF
fine horses in the vicinity of st. Louis, re-
Gently received shipment, among which
we're two fine animals, cross between the
French roadster and tue English draft
horse, combining size and speed. The two
were exactly alike, coal-black, and perfect
beauties in every respect. 1t was at once
discovered, however, that one of them was
vicious, biting. kicking and striking with
his hoofs at everybody who came near.
Two or three men narrowly escaped being
killed by him, and in two days it was i'm
possible TO find any one brave enough even
to feed or water him.
The horse was turned into pasture and
Mr. Brown was contemplating the possibil-
lty of being forced to kill one Of the finest
horses lie had ever imported. The matter
was delayed, however, for several days, the
horse seeming To grow more and more dam
gerous every day. One morning Mr.. Brown
heard the CHATTER of hoofs along the lane and
was hOrritied to see his little ten-year-old
son Willie riding that vicious horse bare
back. The child had gone 20 the horse out
in the open pasture, had made him hold
down his head while he put the bride on
and had led him 10 the fence aud climbed
upon his back. The father rushed out ex-
pecilng TO see the child killed in moment,
and Willie kicked his bare heels against the
black brute's sides and called out:
See. papa! This horse is all right. l
told you all the time there wasn't anything
the matter with this horse. 'ceptin' that
every body was afraid Of him."
And lie slid down from the creatures
back, made him hold his mead down while
he slipped the bride off, and then walked
away, perfectly unconcerned, the horse fol-
lowing like kitten and rubbing his nose
against the boys shoulder.
After that Willie took entire control of
the vicious horse, riding him about the
country. sometimes leaving him stand by
the roadside while he went into house. 1t
was a case of the most entire subjugatiOu.
The father was very uneasy, however, and
when party of Canadians came through a
short time ago he sold the horse. Willie's
pet was taken away, chained and fighting,
ana as vicious as he ever had been.-St.

FLUSHING THE SEW Frs.
Good Work Being Done by the
Street Department.

For several weeks Street Superintendent
Gilleran has been borrowing odd lengths Of
hose from the Fire Department. Few resi-
dents were aware of the purpose for which
this hose was obtained until three men IN
der the supervision of Deputy Street Su-
perintendent Gilleran began the work of
flushing the sewers in the most dense!y
populated sections of the city. Early yes
terday morning The work was commenced
on Kearny street, and all the cesspools
along that thoroughfare were cleansed dur
ing the day.
ION such crowded streets as Kearny,
Montgomery and Sansome," said Deputy
Gilleran to a CALL reporter 1.-The flushing
can only be done on Sunday. Although the
disease-laden sewers have required cleans
ing in years gone by, it has never been DONE
The present work is, therefore, an innova-
ton, and Mr.. Gilleran is the only Street
Superintendent who has Inaugurated it.
We have had considerable difficulty in GER
tain sections of the city owing to the scarcity
of hydrants. In some localities as much as
4Jo feet of hose have been required to coll
meet cesspCol with the nearest hydrant
''Those foul ceSspoOls that have caused
complaints to be made TO the Board of
Health have been the first to be attended to.
In some of these places We have found
enough filth accumulated to spread diphthe-
ria in q whole neighbUThO0d. The import
ance of this work cannot, therefore, be un-
dereStimated."

MARRIAGE AS A CONSIDERATION.

The Supreme Court rendered decision
on Satur day which viii attract much atten-
ton. Seven years ago one Alfred II. Cohen
became engaged to Miss Emma Bray. The
engaged couple had no means. The father
of the girl gave them house, and the father
of the groom bestowed a sum of $4,000. 1t
was supposed at the time that Bray, the
girls father, was man of fortune. Shortly
aterward it turned out that he was insol-
vent, and had been insolvent at the time he
gave his daughter the house; whereupon one
of his creditors attached the house as prop
erty with which he lad parted without val
liable consideration and practically in eva
sion of his debts. The Superior Court held
the gift valid, and on Saturday the Supreme
Court confirmed the decision on the ground
that the receiving OF husband for ones
daughter was valid consideration. This
seems rather peculiar law.
The object Of the law which prohibits
assignments of property by an insolvent
wien no valuable consideration passes was
to prevent a debtor from impairing the Sc
curity of his creditor. No one has the right
after mourning debt, to place out of reach
the property which gave him credit enough
TO be able to incur the debt An insolvent
may sell his property or exchange it. But he
must get something in exchange which will
take its place among his assets. From the
moment he is insolvent he becomes, as it
were, in the eye OF the law holder of his own
property in trust for his creditors. That is
the principle which governs the laws Of all
nations in regulating transfers Of property
by iusolYents.
As TO the word consideration" there
appears &c nave been some confusion of
thought in the minds OF the Supreme Court
Justices. They say in their decision that
marriage is the highest and more valuable
of considerations" 1t may be a considera-
ton to a father to get his daughter married.
or TO the daughter TO get husband, but it is
no consideration at all to creditor of the
father that his debtor has secured son-in-
law. The consideration which the law has
in view when it permits an insolvent to part
with his property Tor valuable consider
alton is a consideration which Can take
the place OF the property disposed Of,
and be subject to seizure and sale I'M
der execution to satisfy the debts of
the insolvent. The court can hardly intend
10 intimate that the creditor in this case
could seize the person of the son-in-law and
have him sold by the Sheriff. 1t is difficult,
then, to understand how it can hold that
Bray's gift of house did not impair the
security of his creditor

CLEVELAND AGAINST THE FIELD.

Chief Justice Fuller declines to discuss
his own Presidential aspirations, or even TO
admit that he has any He does not, how
ever, hesitate to declare his preference for
Nh Cleveland, presumably over even him
self. Most other Democrats are beginning
TO have a second choice. Something has ap-
parently happened which renders the NOM
iuation Of Mr.. Cleveland less probable and
possibly less eXpedient than 1t seemed some
months ago. Even Henry Watterson per-
ceives a number of smaller figures in the
Democratic horizon which may serve the
party as well as Nj. Cleveland. Possibly
the cause Of the decline of Cleveland's stock
Is the solid front the Republicans have
taken on the tariff question. 1t has been
said Of opposing armies that il one does not
run the other will. Victory is in many
cases a question Of endurance. II one army
waivers the other bristles with fight. It's pur-
pose lasts until signs of waVering have
ceased in its opponent II the Republicans
had shown any disposition to change their
position on the tariff they would thereby
have made the nomination of Cleveland
certain. Ii there had been on the Republi-
, can side any doubt of the strength of
their position on this issue Cleveland
would have been the man to lead the
free-trade charge But since the nom
nation of Mckinley by reclamation by
the Republicans of Ohio, so pronounced
tree-trade leader as Cleveland does not
seem so clearly expedient. The Democrats
are little shy Of a contest over the single
issue of the protection of American indus
tries. Still, the chances are that Mr.. Cleve-
land will win against the field. Mr. Hill,
under a clOse-range examination, proves
somewhat Of a disappointment. When he
allowed himself to he elected Senator he
signed away one-half his chances to be
President. He accepted an office covering
the entire term Of the next President, and
to resign it might cost his party the only
Senator they have had in Washington in
many years. Passing Governor Hill as an
improbability there remain Carlisle, Fuller.
Palmer of Illinois and Gray of Indiana as
the most prominent. Palmer and Allen
Thurman Of Ohio are about the same age.
Carlisle comes from State that will vote
tie Democratic ticket without question as
to the candidate. Fuller has never had any
political prominence and Gray mas been
talked Of too much for the second place
The list Of Cleveland's competitors does not
seem formidable, though respectable in re-
gard 10 character and other qualifications
IL the Republicans would only show little
less readiness to make the tariff the great
Issue Cleveland would be nominated on a
tariff-for-revenue platform without much
consideration of other aspirants. But the
republicans are so keen for the fight that
the Democrats are little afraid.
