the effect peculiar to that part of the
flower The rest is simply embroidered
in the usual way.
The design of corn, as in the second
illustration, is SO arranged that when
the cloth is wrapped the decoration will
show in the corners and border, dis
playing an ear of corn at intervals.
Work the whole design in several
shades of delicate silver green, SO often
seen in young corn. This design is very
pretty worked in white silk, but the
light-grccn shades will be found very
dainty against the white of the linen.

SOCIALISTS UNEASY.
iGother Riot Takes Place. But Is So0n
QueIled.

BERLIN, March IS-The anniversary OF
this revolution or 1S4S was marked by no
unusual occurrence. Many socialists pro-
ceeded to the Moab Cemetery, but the police
did not allow them 10 assemble in large
numbers. The utmost precautions were
taken TO prevent disorder. Upon the
gtayes of some of the victims Of the revolu-
tion were placed wreaths with the inscTip-
tion Long Live Anarchy"
The socialists gathered to-day In thou
sands and went i'll a procession TO Fried

memorable day in 1913. when the King
and Queen of Prussia stood with
uncovered heads before the dead. NJ
disorder attended the procession aud the
graves were quietly decorated. On the way
back from Friedrichshain the people in the
crowd shouted, Long live Anarchy
Down with the Government" The police.
watching the procession in considerable
force, at once made a rush for the shouterS,
mostly young men. They seized as many
as they oould lay hands on, and started
TO drag them away, when the crowd
became indignant. aud some Of the
young men appealed 10 their friends
TO rescue them. The people then
hustled the police and tried to compel them
to release their captives. The police made
call for aid and large force which had
been In reserve hurried 10 their assistance.
Drawing their swords the police made a
charge on the crowds, slashing right ana
left but not striking to kill. The populace
were obstinate. bat did not use weapons in
resistance. The blows from the police soon
scattered the mob. a number of whom were
severely hurt. The police took twelve pris-
oners, who were lodged In cells for trials on
the charge of rioting and seditiOn.

An Object Lesson.

OF all the discrimination against San
Francisco merchants practiced by the Pa
clfc Mail, that of the rates to Central
America and Mexico is the worst.
Tariff for tariff is a fair comparison.
Anybody will admit that.
Take the Pacific Mail tariff of freight
rates on all classes of articles that our
merchants are trying TO sell in Central
America and Mexico and contrast it with
the tariff on articles to China, Japan, ST.
IBERIA and Australia, and what does il show ?
Simply that for the greater distances the
rates are less.
You can ship a ton Of merchandise to
Yokohama, distance 1890 miles, for SI2; 70
Shanghai, distance $3.50 miles, for S12: to
Vladiyostock. distance 6S70 miles, for Sl7 90.
or to Sydney, distance 1000 miles, for SIG.
But when you want to ship your ton OF mer-
chadise to Panama, distance only $3.50 miles,
You must pay SIS, which is a higher rate
than to any of the faT-distant points.
Dissect this.
Yokohama is one-half the distan ce farther
from San Francisco than is Panama. Yet
the rate is 30 per cent less TO Yokohama.
Shanghai is not quite twice the distance,
and yet the rates are 80 per cent less.
Fiadiyostock is a little over twice the dis
tance, ana the rates are 40 cents less on the
ton.
Sydney is over 700 miles twice the dis
tancp, and the rates are 81 ton less.
The secret of the whole matter is this /:
San Francisco does not particularly care to
ship her products to far-distant pc ints,
when she can send them to nearer places
It takes longer time to get returns, for one
reason, and there are many other better
reasons. San Francisco does care to ship
TO Central America. There is a good mar
ket there for her. The Pacific Mail sees
this. and wants TO make the most of il.
II is anything to bleed San Francisco.

LOCAL OPINIONS.
San Francisco Germans Think Bismarck
Must Be Reinstated.

Must BE Reinstated.
Henry Hasback. who is we'll versed in
German affairs, was interviewed at his
Gieen-slreet residence last night. Though
suffering from indisposition .le concisely
gave his views upon the. present political
crisis in Berlin. The only salvation for
Germany that l can see." he said, "is the
return Of Bismarck to power. The young
Emperor means well, but his sole expe-
rience as a ruler has been very limited. He
has had absolutely no experience as a
diplomat and has made great mistake in
trusting the ministerial functions of the
country to comparatively untrted men. who
at all events should have had an old and
experienced leader"
Charles a. Zinkand was also seen upon
the subject. and spoke as follows: AL
though an American citizen, / still take a
deep interest in the politics of Germany /
have discussed the situation with several of
my countrymen this evening. They all
agree with me that the actual socialiStc
crisis there Is not so serious as people try TO
make out. But 1t may become so. and very
speedily. The anarchists are urging the
general pOpuiace on TO dIsc0Otent, when their
surroundings are as good as those of the resi-
dents Of any other European country.
There is no doubt that every German would
be jubllant if Bismarck would only re-
turn. But / doubt if the Emperor would

the Prince TO reassume his former position.
As for the Emperor he is young and thinks
himself a wOrld-re former.
Like all inexperienced rulers, whose dis
cipline has only been learned in connection
with warfare, he thinks that general legis-
iative measures must be passed at one
swOop. Now. this primary education bill
may be a very good measure, and probably
will be in force twenty years hence, but
the people are not yet ready for it. Past
experience has shown that II is dangerous
to thrust a measure of ultra reformative
principles down the throats of a nation.
The work must be accomplished by degrees.
These things cannot be done at once. As
Bismarck has said, too, there Is only one
way Of fighting these socialists, and that
is with the bayOnet. There is little doubt
in the minds of the majority Of Germans
that the Emperor made mistake in sympa-
thIZng with this body, whose objects may
be pralsewOr,hy. but are impraclicable so
long as mankind remains in its present con-
dition. | think, however, that Caprlvi and
Truschler will withdraw their resigna-
tions"

The Financial Policy of the Northern Pacific
Severely Criticized.

The Financial Policy of the Northern Pacific
Severely Criticized.
NEW YORK. March 1S.-Dow, Jones &
Co.'S Wall-street News Agency says: A
leading railroad official connected with
prominent company in the Northwest says:
THE Northern Pacific is losing earnings
very fast and the policy it is keeping up in
paying unearned dividends is making it lose
caste and credit in the financial world. The
sooner the company stops dividends and
saves money, the sooner it will get in
more creditable position. The announce
ment here that the Great Northern will be
at the Pacific Coast with new line by No
vember 1 had a stimulating effect. 1t is
noticeable that as the Great Northern goes
up the Northern Pacific goes down.
The following is published to-day: The
continued advance in Great Northern stocks
caused many inquiries as the reason. The
stock Yesterday sold at l42. the highest point
touched since the stock was issued, but to-
day it reacted per cent. The volume
of business in the stock on the way up
has been very small and the advance has
been practically the simple marking up of
quotations by insiders. The only reason
given for the advance is the expectation that
this line will he completed through to the
Pacific by November next. but it is generally
believed here that the stock has been run up
simply to assist the syndicateS handling the
conlpany's bonds to market them.
The Wail-street Journals Boston spec al
says: 1t comes from good authority that
pool has been formed in the Atchison to pur-
chase $4,000 shares and it has acquired
already $4,000 shares.
A Northern Pacific director was shown
the statement from the Wall-Street Journal
He says it doubtless emanates from COM
petitor and Is not worth ''hll of BEANS"
The assertions regarding the paying of un-
earned dividends. the doctoring of accounts,
or that moneys applicable to the, sinking
fund had been diverted TO other purposes,
are all false.

startling announcement was made that of

prefaced his assignment by transferring
considerable property to friends aud also
that before the banks doors closed he
allowed his intimates to withdraw their
