Height of Cruelty.

Nervous women seldom receive the

pain in side, weak and hungry spells,
and finally swelling of ankles, oppres-
sion, choking, smothering and dropsy

The People and Language.

OF course everybody knows that
Chileans are Spanish with mixture Of
South American Indian blood and that
Spanish is the only language spoken.
Like all South American governments,
most of the foreigners are Europeans,
with very slight sprinkling of people
from the United States. The people are
Catholics, but there are several indie
pendent Protestant churches at Santiago
and Valparaiso. In literature and the
arts, especially architecture, she is far
in advance of her neighbors. The press
is slow. Outside communication is
principally With Europe, although there
are telegraph lines to the more important
cities across the Andes. There are
several railroads in Chile, but they are
used to transport the ores to the sea.

LEGISLATIVE REGULATION.

A solicited correspondent of the San
Francisco Bulletin, from whom it hoped
to draw consolation for its scheme to take
the freights and fares question into the
Legislature, writing from a county
greatly interested in transportation and
the people of which have long had deal
ings with the chief railroad company of
the State, tells that paper fatly that his
people believe in the truth that freights
and fares are best regulated through the
interests of the parties concerned; that
there has been no official regulation since
the adoption of the new Constitution, yet
the people have had little to complain OF;
complaints are readily heard, remedies
speedily applied, and wherever friction
develops it is corrected when the carriers
are appealed to to redress a grievance.
The truth is that publicity ana direct
appeal, producer to carrier, are the best,
most economic and the speediest regu-
lators known. Legislative regulation
never has been, in the nature of things
never can be successful. Commerce, the
demands, needs and intricacies of trade,
production and transportation, cannot
possibly be cast in the rigid mold OF
''an Act''; nor is it possible to provide
for the ever varying conditions that ap-
pertain to production and carriage.
In short, the demand of the Traffic AS
sociation, the interest of which is to re-
duce the interior to state of complete
dependence upon the peddlers of San
Francisco, is one that is absurd, even
ludicrous, in view of the disastrous ex-
perience of other States and countries in
efforts to regulate transportation by the
square and compass of legislation.
