ENGLISH woRKINGMEN.

The London Christian, a paper seldom
given to overstatoments, makes the asser-
ton and vOucheS for its entire truthfuness,
that one out of every two labcring meu
who live to be GO years Of age comes on the
poor law"
Despitesthe high authority for this state
ment it seems incredible that it should be
true, especially when we consider that it
relates to the labOring men of a land whose
commercial policy is supposed to be dictated
by a consideration for this class The
economic system Of which Richard Golden
was the originator and eXpOunder was
adopted b. England because it was claimed
for it that it would relieve the sutferingS Of
Englaud's labOring masses. 1t is recon-
mended to the American people to-day by
its upholders in this country, as a measure
for lettering the condition Of the American
people.
There is no reason to suppose that this
policy would work much better results for
Americans than il has done for the English,
though possibly, owing to the advantages in
the way Of cheap land, it would take a
much longer period to reduce US to the point
where one out Of every two of this class
would become an object of charity in his
old age,

now NoT 10 DO IT.

Tie ice schedule the Southern Pacific
Railroad Company have established through
the State Railroad Commission is well
conceived plan Of how not to do IT, The
old rates have been reduced TO points the
san Francisco company cannot reach in com
petition with other companies, and in some
instances Increased to points subjectJ0 com
petition. Mr. Sheath said that the reduc-
ton 90 such points as Bakersfield and
una would not enable San Francisco TO
send ice to these cities in competition with
Los Angeles. Rates to interior cities in
this State have in some instances been in
creased. The increase may not open these
cities 10 competition with Truckee, but it
adds TO the necessary cost Of ice in all To-
calities which competition does not reach
The vice Of the ice schedule is the general
policy Of the Southern Pacific Of charging
all a traffic viii bear. Instead Of trans
porting ice at cost with reasonable profit
added, the company arTanges its rates so as
90 absorb all the profit there may be in a
business. Nj Sheath SAYS that under a
general mileage rate the freight from San
Francisco to Bakersfield would be but 81 10:
under the old rate the charge was $50 per
ton. The new rates cut this charge TO So
but Bakersfield is point which san Fran
cisco cannot supply at this rate. But while
ice may be carried to Bakersfield for S. per
ton the same company charge s. = a ton
from San Francisco to Santa Cruz If the
railroad company established rates on the
basis Of SO much per ton per mile, shippers
would know what 70 calculate upon. They
could figure the cost Of sending their goods
TO different points as closely as the railroad
fre GIT clerk. Freight to the point at which
goods we're expected to find market being
one principal element Of cost, the manager
Of a business would know just what points
be could reach in competition with other
shippers. But the railroad company has
habitually adjusted rates on the principle
that al the profits Of business properly be-
lOaged TO the company. The Railroad Com
mission is simply a branch Of the Southern
Pacific Office supported by the State. It has
been at work long enough to demonstrate
its inutiliiy. and the sooner it disappears as
now organized the better for all concerned
except the Commissioners and the South
ern Pacific Company.

Dogs MEAT DIETARY.
A Local Gypsy Who Says 1t
Cures Consumption.
He Claims That the Treatment Has Been
Known Among the Gypsies From Time
Immemorial-His Liberal Offer

John Zingarri, q native of Bohemia, 81
years old, born near the city Of Prague, and
now an itinerant man of-all-work after the
manner of the gypsies, is one of those who
believe in the dog's-fesh cure for consump-
ton. Not only this, but he offers without
fee to demonstrate the value of the remedy
on any two subjects who will place them
selves at his disposal.
Zngarri is bright fellow. far better in
formed on general topics than the gener-
ality of his tribe. and plainly in earnest
about the whole matter lie has none of
the methods of the quack or medicine man
about him, but argues the matter in a COM
nonsense way. In an interview with a
CALL reporter yesterday he said: II have
known all my life that the flesh of the dog
is very good for consumptive people. You
never see gypsy die Of consumption.
This fact has been noted by Leland and
other writer's on the Rommany folkl be-
Iieve the reason is that nature has given
them the instinct to know what is good for
such ailments. They have the instinct of
nature just like the Indians"
CURING A GYPSY.
Questioned as to his own observations,
Zingarr went on: There was member
Of our camp who became afflicted with lung
disease. | was about II years old at the
time AS soon as a gypsy starts to be sick
with a pulmonary disease he loses no time
but takes dOg's-meat Just as an ordinary
man would take pills for a stomach trouble
That gypsy was perfectly cured. | do not
pretend to say That a cOnsumptive patient
who presents himself in the third stage can
be benefited. When the lung substance is
broken up by disease nothing can save a
man. In the dogs flesh treatment the best
effects are obtained with children and
young people. After 40 there is little hope
of doing good. 1t acts by strengthening the
entire system, and 50 powerful are its effects
that you can see the results in a young
person in three or four days. The hectic
fever goes down, the cough stops, the wasting
stops, aud l have seen some cases where
patients in the first stage were completely
restored to health in two months"
DOG BROTH.
Asked how the meat is prepared, the
gypsy said there was a secret in it which
was known only to his people, but he did
not trade on that. The best way to admin
ister the food is to make strong broth or
tea out Of the flesh and give this broth
to the patient twice a day, with a small por-
ton of the solid flesh once a day. Before
the treatment is commenced a purgatIYe is
administered. Neither milk. iron, cOd-liveT
oil or any tonic IS required. The dogs flesh
does everything.
How does { taste?" asked the reporter.
You would not know It from hare The
broth tastes ike beef tea"
Zingarri would like TO have his veracity
tested by any reputable physician or medi-
cal body he asks only that tho patients
shall be in the early or durable Stage of the
disease.

A GRAVE SUBJECT.
Novel Plan for Giving Free
Burial to the Dead.

A novel idea has Just been crystallized
into shape by the formation Of what is
hereafter 10 be known as the "Dead-head"
Society, of which James II. Harbourne.
residing at 27l Stevenson street. is a leading
spirit if not the actual originator.
The objects of the organization, despite
its singular name, are most serious, aiming,
as they do, at the abatement of the costly
funerals which in many, if not the majority
of cases, involve the living In heavy bur-
dens that they are frequently unable to bear.
To correct this growing eyil-so far at
least, as San Francisco is commemorative
new society proposes to adopt the primitive
funeral customs Of the European peasantry.
and before long the sight Of a band of
mOurners carrying their dead on their Shout
ders may be no unusual sight along the dill
ferent avenues leading to the cIty's ceme-
teries.
That flowers, expensive caskets and other
costly etceteras will also be Telegated to
oblivion follows without the saying, and
viii consequently effect corresponding re-
auctions IN the expense of mteTment. ms
is as far as the Old World peasants ever
travelled on the road 20 economy, but the
society proposes to do even more Tor Its
members and, If its plans prove practicable,
death thereafter need have no terrors for
the poorest Of them.
The proposition, in short, is to provide
burial for the dead without any cost what
ever 20 the living. All that the society asks
is members. After they have been obtained
voluntary contributions will he taken up
from the general public. and it is promised
that In no case will an assessment be levied.
A decent coffin and a grave will be paid for
out Of the General Fund and the mOurnerS
and friends Of the deceased Will follow the
cOffin-bearers on foot.
These ideas have yet TO be expanded to
meet the conditions which prevail here, but
in the crude form in which they are pre-
scented the society has already enlisted $50
recruits and collected $500. which sum is
now in the Treasures bands.
In a communication 10 THE CALL Mr..
Harbourne predicts that the society will
prove a success and states that the officers
are business men Of prominence and high
local ctqudiuO

FREE COINAGE.

The Senate committee does not propose
to help the Democratic party to make the
bluuder Of enacting a free-cOinage bill at
this session Of Congress. Senator Stewards
free-silvey bill has been adversely reported
and the bill will probably receive un-
favorable action if it should come be-
fore the Senate. The leading men Of both
parties seem to have arrived at the cOnclu-
sion that the present Silver Bill should be
given a longer trial. If the monthly pur-
chases have as nearly exhausted the sur
plus as represented, another year viii wit

bat this is not the case. Neither Buckley
nor the men who have profted SO largely in

are dead. These men can neither be in
d cted nor punished so long as they have
control of officers at the City Hall. The
public may rest assured of this. Buckley
saws he is in Europe for his health. He
will in due time be back to repenish his
finances: besides, his henchmen are nearly
