SAN FRANCIsCo,s CASE STATED.

A San Francisco merchant the other
day said in the Examiner: 81 gave
up my general grocery business
because my customers could buy
cheaper from the East direct than could
supply them, and that was because the
railroad so ordered it. 1t did not give
me any pleasure to surrender trade that
ought to have been profitable, 1 can
assure you. will give you an illustra-
ton: The great tobacco territory of the
country is the South, and st. Louis is a
central point. Tobacco ought to come
here and be distributed from this city by
rail. But the railroads want the long
haul, and they have so ordered things
that my customers can save cent and a
half pound by dealing direct with Chi
cago."
Which is TO say that this man. Mr.. Castle,
complains because goods are not brought
from the East past the doors of the con-
sumner to San Francisco and then shipped
back to the interior at an added cost to
consumers. The railroads did not s'or-
der'' that of which Mr.. Castle complains;
It is the natural, inevitable commercial
result of unvarying laws of trade and
transportation, applicable everywhere,
and everywhere in civilized lands in
force.
The whole story is told in nutshell by
this man Castle when he says:
''TobGcco ought to come here and be dis
tri6uted from this city by rail" Every
dealer in San Francisco who buys east of
her, can make like complaint and say,
"You of the interior should not be privi-
legged to bring to your marts from the
East by rail and distribute goods from
your trade centers-that is the Right
Royal perogative of San Francisco" The
truth is thus again emphasized that the
present agitation is that of San Francisco
against the interior.

Yet people whose hearts are neither as

fortitude is excessive, often have no pity

long torture by neglect. Rheumatism,
the most agonizing and obstinate Of
complaints, is, perhaps. more frequently
neglected in its incipiency than any
other, the preliminary twinges being set
down to the credit of "a cold in bones"
which will pass away Of itself. Singular

has earned its way into the good graees of the

sides-has instituted a plan 10 increase its pop
ularty and at the same time gain valuable in-
formation for its readers. Its plan is this:
The NEWS proposes 10 send, at its own cx-
pense, a representative Rhode Island working
man 20 Great Britain TO report upon the con
dition of workingmen there. II will pay all
his expenses and furnish him with guido books
and all necessary information and assistance

an all-important one and its Importance will

ment of the conditions of labor as he finds It.
The offer is open to Democrat or Republican,
free trader or protectionist, and the result OF
the fortunate explorers visit will doubtless be
a valuable contribution TO the literature of the
pending campaign.
We may add that the editor as a stauneh
Republican, is not taking very serious risks
from party stand point. II was just such an
exploring expedition as he invites represen-
tative Providence workman to take that made
him one of the most earnest, as he is one OF the

From The Springfield Union.

The PROVIDENCE News has made n very
liberal offer 10 Rhode Island workingmcn, and
one that should have excellent practical re-
suits. The plan is outlined as follows:
The NEWS proposes to send at its own ex-
pense representative Rhode Island working
man 20 Great Britain to report upon the con-
dition OF workingmen there. IL will pay all
his expenses and furnish him with guide
books and all necessary information and as
sistance In laying out his route. Hc will start

only conditions being that he be one who

tent and willing TO keep those who have
chosen him 10 represent them informed by

dition of European workingmen has been de-
scribcd frequently, but II often happens that

WOMEN OF TO-rAY.
IL Is Fashionable TO be Healthy, strong
and Athletic.


The athletic girl is in the ascendant, and
tennis, boating, walking, and swimming
are now the favorite pursuits OF young
women who used to scream at the sight of
a mouse. In winter the pursuits are more
limited; but one thing is certain, and
that is, society girl is better able to stand
the strain of a winter season with its
dancing and late hours after training
through the summer.
Men who go into athletics diet them
selves with care, and women have discov-
cred that 1t is worth while to pay atten-
tion to hygienic principles. Each year
has seen an increase in large restaurants
in the shopping district of New York and
the supply is always indicative of the need
and demand. Women do not take the
hurried nUUufuy meat thHt they did
short time since, barely stopping between
shops to eat roll and cup OF coffee, and
finish up with something sweet and indi-
gestible. They do not do this now. A
lunch is regarded as a serious meal; for so
il is in fact, and it il not to be hurried.
Having learned that it is unhealthy to
bolt their food, women begin by allowing
sufficient time in which to eat, and they
choose food that is liable to do them
the most good. Sometimes they in
dulge in regular course dinner,
beginning with soup, and following
with meat and vegetables, taking the
old-time coffee and roll as dessert.
Then when they are ready to con-
tinue their shopping they are physically
braced for the wear and tear upon their
system that shopping incurs. This is
most sensible and practical idea, and when
women are brought TO look at things in
this light it il blessing to every one.
Nerves are not fostered under such
treatment, and for this blessed change we
are indebted TO the athletic craze. To eat
substantial, well-cooked food is one OF
the first principles of nature, and one is
better able TO stand physical exertion.
Rolls and coffee alone are almost lunch
of the past. Let them remain SO, taking
care at the same time that the athletic
course is not pursued too far, for there is
limit beyond which it is dangerous to
go. Overtraining is as bad as none at all.
