There seems TO be much positive evidence
to show that a meteor of considerable ap-
parent size did plump down upon San Fran
cisco during the thunderstorm on Sunday
morning. Millions of meteors fall upon the
earth every year and for the most part
attract little attention. They come out of
space, travelling at cesmic rate of eighteen
or twenty miles per second. perhaps more,
and drop TO the earth when overpowered by
its attraction. Pr0videntially the larger
ones are shivered to fragments by the
inequalities Of temperature on the body Of
the aerolite in passing through our atmo-
sphere. The smaller ones become fine dust

casionally cross the earth's atmosphere and
become incaDdescent. aud 20 sailing on into

One good result OF the Supreme Courts
decision on the heading question is the in

to put it, The suffer has to put his cross
against large number Of names, scattered
up and down the ballot, and he is certain
TO make enough OF mistakes to cause him to
be distrusted where he Is acting on bis own
intelligence. If he secures assistance in
marking he will be watched, especially as
to going elsewhere for the purpose OF STUFF
fling. The law allows good deal Of time to
voters to formulate their conclusions. but
as there are five cabinets for marking in
every polling precinct it is not apprehended
that the slowest rate OF voting need cause
any apprehension OF obstruction, eontriyed
or otherwise. A large number of voters will
get through their work in less than five
minutes, let alone ten, the period allowed.

THE MICHIGAN ELECTORAL VOTE.

The United States Supreme Court has de-
cided that the Michigan law giving the
choice Of Presidential electors to Congress
sional districts is constitutional. No other
decision was expected. At the election In
1890 the Republicans elected but three men,
bers Of Congress to eight Democrats. But
there were two districts in which the Demo-
cratic majority was less than 200. and three
others in which the average is but little
more than 1000. Under normal conditions
they expect to carry at least four, and pos
sibly five. districts thar the Democrats car
ried in $780, Assuming the estimate of four
is correct, the districts would stand this
year seven to four. Under any ordinary
conditions the Democrats will gain four
electoral votes by the law. But the advan,
tage the Democrats took Of their temporary
majority in the Michigan Legislature does
not conflict with the constitution. aud there
is consequently no complaint to be made OF
the Supreme's Courts decision.
The morning call., 1892-10-18
NEW YORK IN THE BALANCE.

1t is now quite probable that the vote Of
New York will determine the pending Presi-
Dental election. The Republicans may get
a majority without New York, but would
much rather not take the chances. The
question is often asked why with nearly all
the other Northern States reasonably safe
for Harrison, Cleveland should be considered
to have an even show in New York Mr..
Blaine in his recent speech said that more
persons in New York got their living from
manufactures than from importations. There
is one point. however. that Mr.. Blaine did
not touch upon. While New York has
about 80 per cent of the importing bust
ness. she only has an ordinary share in the
manufacturing business. So long as the
bulk of our dry DDS come from Europe and
land in New York merchants from all parts
of the Union will draw supplies from New
York. This fact makes New York City the
center CT trade and travel from all parts OF
the Union. The 100000 people who consti-
tute its floating population come mostly to
buy goods. They will continue to come so
long as the Empire City holds a monopoly
of the importing trade. But under a pro-
teetiye policy goods Of American manufac-
ture will largely take the place OF imported
goods. When this condition occurs there
will be no need to go to New York to pur-
chase goods. Every group OF States will have
its manufacturing center at which mer-
chants can get supplies as cbeaply and of as
good quality as from New York. Now, Of all
things. New York City wants to keep the
distribution Of goods throughout the Union
in its own hands. 1t wants stream OF
people coming to town to see the sights and
buy goods. It's great growth may be at
trbuted to the concentration OF travel
toward that city. While New York will
always be to an extent commercial center
it will not retain its relative rank when
other American cities offer goods CORE
spending in quality and style TO those now
imported into New York.

Telegraph Company. approached repre-
sentative of The CALL yesterday and. in
Producing himself, said:
ION behalf of the boys of our company /
wish to thank The CALL for its courtesy
in giving us an opportunity to defend our
selves from the vile attacks that havo been
made upon US. as class. by some of the
newspapers of this city. 1t may be true
that some one or two of the many boys en-
ployed by the company have done wrong,
but it is not fair that we should all be
charged with wrongdoing and be placed in
bad light before those who require our
services.
1.-THE majority of the boys live with both
or one parent aud they pay heed to the
warnings of parent or parents TO avoid the
dangers that we may be led into. Many Of
us are the sole support of father or mother,
and do not think it is right for any news
paper to attack all the boys and seek to pre-
vent them from earning living.
1T seems to me that II a wrong Is done by
any boy who has acted in the capacity of
messenger the blame is at once thrown
on the district messengers. Why, some
time ago, one of the city papers had an
article in which it was stated that district
messenger had been sent out to the new
City Hall with decd and 50 Is to have the
deed placed on record. and that on the way
out the messenger had made an alteration
on the tag handed him, so as to make it ap-
pear that he had been given but 81 %. We
made an investigation and found out tha it
was not district boy, but boy employed
by the lawyer who sent out the deed. But

force. at the very first election, the same
men who tried to defeat its passage set
themselves to work to so arrange matters
that every rascally nomination could have
a heading, whereby single mark would
vote an entire ticket; but not so with our
citizens who had nominated honest capdi-
dates; they must be made to stamp every
name. The object was to so arrange mat
tiers that the boss candidates could still hold
the offices and plumber the people. Ii will
be re remembered that not step was taken in
this nefarious business which did not meet
the approval of De Young Of the Chronicle.
The Supreme Court finally came in with
decision which gives all parties and candi-
dates an equal chance. Now if our citizens
do not dispose of the knaves who have SO
long plundered them, it will be their fault.

WHAT A TRANESTY.

The Kelly, Crimmins and De Young can
didates to represent San Francisco 10 the
Legislature are a strange set. Should our
citizens send them to Sacramento We should
have as unworthy set of men as ever
represented San Francisco in the State
Legislature. They are the kind which will
work for the Central and Southern Pacific
railroad companies and for De Young. Our
citizens cannot possibly vote for more IN
reliable set of candidates than those which
are by De Young, Crimmins & Co. denomi-
mated Republicans. What a travesty upon
the name of Republicans and honest

UNEQUALED KNAyERY.

Every possible effort has been made by a
set Of barpies, led on by the Chronicle, to
arrange matters in San Francisco so that it
would be difficult for our citizens to get rid
of the leeches who have been sucking the
very life blood out OF US. First, it was
struggle to put down an effort to adopt the
Australian system OF voting. although mem
bers Of the Legislature were pledged prior
to the election to enact such law. When
the vicious element failed in this, they went
to work with amendments TO render the bill
of as little importance as possible. They
did Impair its usefulness. the Chronicle do
