IMPORTED JAPANESE RUGS.


We have secured for the benefit of The
NATIONAL TRIBUNE subscribers a stock of
elegant rugs of Japanese goat-skin. They
have just been received from Japan, and are
very fine. We have secured special price
on them and they are very cheap. We have
had them made up 30 so inches, 50 as to be
large enough for various uses to which smaller
sizes cannot be adapted. Our rugs will be
found large enough for sofa-c covers and
lounges az well as for foor-rugs by side of
bed or in front of mantel, musical instru-
ment or door. They are also large enough
to use as a center rug in parlor. They are
far more desirable and stylish than the
Smyrna rugs. The coat consists of soft,
furry hair between three and four inches in
length, and is very thick. We have them of
various colors, but we recommend as most
desirable for beauty and service either gray,
white or black.
Oneof these elegant rugs will be sent to
any subscribers address by mail, postpaid,
for s2s5, or with THE NATIONAL TRIBUNE
for one year for $3.50.
If it is desired to have the package regis
tered 10 cents extra must be sent to pay the
Government registration fee, whether pur-
chased alone or ordered in connection with

SOME GOOD ADVICE.

The Colusa Daily Sun remarks upon
the discouraging degree of stagnation in
business that prevails in San Francisco.
1t alleges that there are 4, 900 vacant houses
in that city, and that with the completion
Of five blocks now going up many more
business properties will be vacant. Now,
it says, the demand there for panacea
for the apparent ills is 'a competing rail-
road" and it asks how much that will
help?
The San then asks if goods are deliv-
cred at interior points from the East the
same as at San Francisco, sis not that the
matter and not the rate?" Assuredly, and
a competing road would not, could not
change the conditions. The Sun holds
that it would indeed make it all the worse
for San Francisco, and says: Suppose the
competing line comes on down through
Chico, Colusa, etc., and ends at San Fran
cisco. All the freight the Southern Pa
cific can leave at Fresno, Stockton and
ObAOl PlehSSS 10 oui0 hOG W 10 pIOuSH III
over the other road, and all the new road
can leave at Chico or Colusa will certainly
not be brought by its rival. Each will
encourage the towns along the line not to
ship through, because it will not want the
goods it brings to go to make up the local
traffic of its rivalv'
1t then adds some very sage words of
advice and truth: ''San Francisco wants
to encourage the development of the re-
sources of the territory Immediately
around it. Irrigation schemes should be
fostered instead of murdered. The recla-
nation of the rich tule lands should be
encouraged. In short, San Francisco
should do everything that can be done to
build up the interior. A large portion of
the trade will go to her even with COM
peting roads, each striving to leave East
ern freight along the route.
1--WE have trod the streets of that city
by the month trying to get some of its
capitalists to look at interior securities
trying to enlist their patriotism in assist
ing schemes in which there was no chance
for loss, but they prefer to build another
house even with 1000 to let. 1t is city
stolidly Indifferent to all its surround
ings."

will sustain life for month. But when
1t becomes question of million lives
for which the Government must care. as
IN Samara alone, and when this support
must be continued for a period of ten
months, the cost rises to $1,000, 600. As in
The case OF Samara, the proportion of the
sufferers relieved by the zemstvos is two
thirds, leaving one-third wholly depend
ent upon private benevolence; and, tax
ing all the famine provinces, even this
one-third mounts up to the millions. Mr..
Smith does justice to Russians, and re-
neves us of the impression prevalent in
this country that at its home not much
has been done to relieve distress in
Russia. He says this appeal to personal
philanthropy has brought out noble ex-
amples of generosity and devotion. The
proprietary class have, as rule, in this
emergency, proved worthy of their posi-
ton and responsibilities. There are sin
gle families taking care Of as many as
LU,OUv people. i ne women especially
have come forward with a conservation
and self-sacrifice which commands adj
miration. If it were not invidious or in
delicate, many cases might be cited of
ladies of gentle birth who have left their
homes, braved the dangers of disease,
faced the hardships of an unaccustomed
and trying life, and given up weeks and
months to the work of feeding the hum
cry and ministering to the sick. With
much that has been deplorable, there
have been also in this work many eXhi-
billions of true nobility. One other thing
ought in fairness to be said. The En-
peror has been published abroad as in
different. 1t is only just to remark that
this peculiar kind of Indifference has
been manifested not merely in a vigor-
Gus direction of the later governmental
operations Of relief. even to the summary
dismissal of inefficient agents, but in
gifts from his private purse, which, if the
belief Of st. Petersburg can be accepted,
amount to fifteen or twenty times all
the contributions of all the world outside
of Russia.
