it is to prevent tool hache. We all suppose
that such visitatiors are over: but there is
no reason for the superstition, except that
the vitality of the population has much in

by no means completely demonstrated

We may trust the mercy of Providence
If we please, but the mercy Of Providence
IS not our mercy; il spares none Of Us alive
and the human reason can discover no
cause for leaving our people unvisited with

Beresford and his scouts in the rear. One
of the men who went down under the
Zulu fire was seen to arise and try to stag

him and detected signs of life in the fallen
soldier as quickly as did his comrades.
Beresford was the last man in the re-

And took my heart from me.

In a few months or years,

And the salt. salt tears.

Or Love, come with woe,
Deal but gently with the heart
That leans upon you so.

INDUSTRIAL OUACKs.

When British statesmen are confronted
with the fact that the average wages Of
Lancashire cottOn-weavers are seventeen
shfllings and fourpence (S4 16) a week they
respond with proposition to grant each
one pension OF five dollars month on his
attaining the age of 90 years. An Ameri-
can correspondent who is looking into the
industrial question as presented in England
agrees that II is next to Impossible to in
crease the wages. England retains her
supremacy in the cotton manufacturing in
dustry BY doing the work a shade cheaper
than it can be done elsewhere. AS it is. her
market is open to the surplus of European
stock, which can only be kept in small pro-
portion by supply of homemade goods at
even rates. But these low prices of goods
can only be maintained by the employment
Of the cheapest labor. Of course, with the
average OF mems wages at 81 Is, one worker
is not supposed to provide for large
family His children begin to help at
about ten years OF age. These children earn.
on an average. two shilIings ninepance
(65 cents week. That pittance, however.
when there are three or four Of them, help
ont the fathers 81 16 a week materially.
The proposition 10 pay cotton weavers s.
month on attaining the age of go years is
made to relieve the poorhouses of some of
their burdens. 1t is also more respectable
to have large pension list than to continue
an Industrial system that lands the entire
body OF labOrers liz the pooThouse when age
impairs the ability to earn living But
the proper remedy-that is, the remedy that
would be proper If it could be applied
would be to make an increase in wages
which would enable the laborer to make
some provision for old age. The English
argument is that if wages are increased
England will lose the market of the world.
The home market might be held by duties
on foreign goods, but the foreign market
will be occupied by the nations which ean
supply goods at the lowest rates. To Eng
land the foreign market is a necessity The
suspension OF work in the cotton factories
of Lancashire would throw tens OF thou
sands Of operatives out of employment.
Yet these corporations depend upon their
sales in foreign markets to keep their mills
running. This condition of things is not
encouraging to the school of American
statesmen who would open our markets to
foreign goods and take the chances of get
ting share OF the markets of the world as
compensation.

HOW WE STAND.

THE CALL has laid before the public dur
ing the last few months facts enough in
relation to tile methods used by the man
ayers Of the Southern Pacific Railroad Com
pany in order to extort money from the in
habitaDtS Of this city and State TO convince
the most skeptical that condition Of things
exists here Cf which counterpart cannot be
found elsewhere in the civilized world. We
have shown that combinations have been
made with the Pacific Mail Steamship COM
pany, with the Northern Pac fic Railroad
Company, and with foreign railroad COM
pany-the Canadian Pacifc-n order to OBJ
tain the utmost amount Of money which the
products and the business Of the State would
stand. Nor is this all. We have shown that
combinations have been made with the own
eTs Of sailing vessels 10 eXtort heavy freight
rates from us. Our citizens have not been
permitted TO ship merchandise at fair rates,
even by sailing vessels, from New York to
San Francisco, by reason of combinations,
but we have had to use sailing vessels ia
some cases via European ports. THE CALL
says, without the fear Of contradiction. that
such a condition of affairs as we have had TO
submit to in order that few men may be-
come immensely rich cannot be pointed to
elsewhere in the civilized world yet our
citizens are asked. ''What are you going to
do about It ?" Men have been used year after
year by a single corporation to corrupt the
body pOlitic--to send men TO the Legisla-
ture, TO elect Judges, to elect Supervisors,
etc. a single corporation has used money
to run the conventions of both political par
ties and have had laws made for their
special benefit. Our oppressOrs cry for
more money continually. Our merchants
are pitted against mpetitors who obtain
less freight rates than they do, hence they
lose trade. Even our fruit must be taxed to
such an extent that much of it will 90 to
decay in the orchards. The most corrupt
politicians are employed to run the conven-
tons, and it Is almost worth a PERSONS life
to oppose them. Every man in San Fran
cisco knows that the bosses of both parties
have been fostered and supported by the
agents Of the Southern and Central Pacific
Railroad companies. Had il not been for
railroad money we should not have wit
messed such political profigacy as has
nearly overwhelmed US. And where has
this money come from2 Enough to build
the railroads was derived from the General
Government and from California subsidies.
Even cur merchants and business men and
the farmers, fruit-producers, etc, have
been taxed eXorbitant rates enough during
the last fifteen or twenty years, which has
gone into the hands Of three or four men,
to build railroad from San Francisco to
New York. If any person believes we are
not patient people let him consider what

ANIMAL DIsEAsE-BE EEDERs.

Patn0iogists are engaged in this country
and abroad in investigating the transmissi-
bility Of disease from human beings to men,
bers of the brute creation, and vice versa.
Some of the results which have been reached
are interesting and important One of the
most valuable results of the Tubercular Con-
gress held at Paris in 1889 was the discovery
that cows milk was a frequent cause of
tubercular disease. Cows confined in
ped quarters in an ill-ventilated stable.
and tended by cowherds with phthisical
tendencies. were said to be apt to take the
disease IN form which was not mortal with
them, but which impaired mortal quality
to their milk. That milk when drunk by
children was said to develop in them true
tuberculosis; the theory being that the
bacillus Of consumption which the COW in
hales in the stable passes III 10 the mammary
glands, and thence into the milk, and be-
comes actively malignant when taken into
the human system. The faculty Is not
unanimous in regarding this idea as an es-
tablshed scientific truth; but it has CON-
manded so much belief that in numbers of
families boiled milk is preferred to raw milk.
