ANYTHING nORE FOR The RAIL
:: -. ROAD?

d. People may be astonished at the modera-
tion Of Mr.. Huntington. He has but TO ask
and ahe;receives. He has but to storm and
scOWf and: the representatives of city's
interests quail before him. AS far as Cali
fOrnia aud San Francisco are concerned, he
has come TO believe in his own moderation.
When the people oppose him ii is imperti-
nence. When the people yield to MIN it is
submission to wisdom. He has Just had a
: present made to him of foTty-two streets.
He:is: thus enabled to place ring fence
, around ninety acres of land donated TO the
Central: Pacific Company, which promptly
turned part of:the original sixty acres over
to the Pacific Improvement Company and
gave the Southern Pacific Company a claim
on; theTest.: This transfer of interest has
placed valuable property beyond the reach
OF the Central .Pacifc's creditors, of whom
the Emitted States Government stands first.
It was perhaps for this very purpose that
the: transfer, was made. With the new
acquisition Mr.. Huntington may DO pre-
cisely w hat he has done with the sixty acre
grant. He may do nothing. A promise is
but breath. Between railroad magnate and
a Board OF Supervisors or legislature 1t
is shrewdly suspected that the real object
J. of this. movement is to: prevent other rail-
roads from :. reaching San Francisco,
except at: heavy. expense. But clever
.as the* Strategy is, it will not be
: successful. :: There is such a thing as a
growing tree rending a wall. and San Fran
cisco has vitality. enough to unclasp all
the snckers.of the octopus which encircles
il IN athrottling embrace. As to the Super
.yisors who have passed this infamous grant
. they viii. be taken care of by the people
= They wilEneyer again hold office, il equity
apd common-sense prevail. This they ap-
: pear to- understand. The wonder is Hunt
ington did not ask them for not only the
land: of fOrty-two streets, but all the public
property unHtilZed in the whole forty-one
square miles of the city's area. A majority
of this board: would probably have voted
for this extreme without wincing.
The Supervisors turned deaf ear to the
protests of. the property owners in the
neighborhood.. They are to be shut out from
access to the: bay; their property is to be
deprecated; and ON two streets the property
will very seriously be affected. What after
all are their interests compared with those
!. of this mighty railroad corporation, which
: fattens on beggary and extortion and pays
nothing? They may shrek and groan and
produce unanswerable facts and arguments
but they might as well appeal to the seals
on Seal Rocks as to the expiring pacbyder.

THE CAR AND HIS ARrlY.

The Gar is said to lie very peaceful
man, but he has very warlike army, COM
manded by very headstrong officers. AS
success iE a profess on depends upon op-
portunity to pursue it, so the army officer
grows weary of peace aud longs for the
activity Of war, that he may gain glnry and
promotion, or death on the battlefield,
which is also considered a form OF glory.
But for firm hand the Gar would long
ago have been forced by the officers of his
army into a quarrel with England. which
has uniformly pursued the policy Of resist
ing Russia's aims to become power in the
Mediterranean. The officers are eager TO
pounee upon India as method of piercing
England between the joints of her armor.
But, il reality, the aim of Russia Is not TO
get hold OF India. but to absorb Turkey ana
possibly Greece, and thus have freed ON for
her commerce in the Mediterranean. The
sacrifices Russia has made in liberating the
Balkan natiouallties give her some title to
work out this diplomatic aim, and the won-
der is that England should think 1t worth
while obdurately to stand in the way. Tie
trade of Great Britain would not suffer in
the slightest by Russia attaining her wishes
in the Mediterranean.
But the question arises whether Russia
would call halt when il has absorbed
Turkey and Greece at a bite. Would Pales-
tine aud Asia Minor and Persia not follow
as desert? Perhaps Egypt, the cradle of
civilization, might be Muscoyitized and
TastariZed, and what further the Northern
Colossus NJ ght do in southern lands cannot
be defued Probably Russia would leave
Egypt alone. but would make no objection
to obtaining complete control of Asia
Minor ana of the Persian Gulf. Then
India would be left alone. from which the
Russian possessions are separated by for
mdable natural boundaries. The English
profess to govern Egypt and India for the
good OF the inhabitants. Again and again
has the aY0wal been made that when
Egypt Is strong enough TO be left to itself
the English garrison and treasury officials
will be Withdrawn. Ii will not do forever
TO equivtcaie with this solemn promise.
Similarly with regard to India. there is a
dreamy hope entertained by statesmen that
this country of divided races, with four
times the population of the United States,
VIII cOhere sufficiently TO become self.goy-
eTDing. Then it is expected that Great
Britain viii cast off the shaekieS of tute-
lage and leave Hindostan to itself with a
benediction. But this dream Of India being
left TO itself is perhaps centuries from reali-
zation. The rule of England has been
beneficial TO India, and has never been
oppressive in the sense Of narrowing the
land for the benefit of England itself.
Chaos would come again had Russia pos
session of HindOstan and Ceylon. and il is
quite certain that the whole of India Will be
in arms against Russia whenever the much
considered invasion commences. But that
is not Russia's real aim. Russia will be
contented with Turkey, Asia Minor ana
Persia. Meanwhile the Gar is not in a
position to let slip the dogs of war for any
purpose.

that the Panama canal should be built only
with the United States preponderating in
its influence. This was as modefate ground
rs could weh have been taken. If Presi-
dent Hayes had gone little further and
declared that the canal should only be built
by the American Government, and with
the control Of the canal in the Governments
hands, his. position would have been in-
dorsed by the people. But tbevery- moder-
ate position which the President did take
caused a considerable expendilHre. on news
papers and public men. An expensive lobby
was maintained at Washington for some
years, and supplied with moneyto use in
obtaining EXPRESSIONS in favor Of the French
enterprise. Tie methods which were pur-
sued here left little doubt of the employ
ment of like meth eds IN France. The sem
satiou in Paris is over things which were
no secret. but of which proof was not at
hand. When the proof. was produced the
blaze burst ont.

1t will relieve the minds of many good
families in the United States that the Um-
bria Of the CunaTd line has been spoken.
She was evidently disabled in some way,
but not so badly as to require assistance
This is good assurance that beyond little
delay the voyage Will terminate in a safe
arrival in port Some portion OF the ma
chineTy has doubtless given way, and the
engineers are doing their best to repair
damages. Had the shaft been brOkan it is
improbable that the captain of the Umbria
would have refused towlne. 1t Is too
much to say that the Cunard Company has
never lost vessel. The Oregon went own
of Long Island, after collision with three
masted schooner Various other vessels
have also been lost. But il is the boast of
the Cunard Company that il has never lost
letter or passenger during fifty years of
service.
The explosion OF dynamite on Long ISL
and is due to a destituton of common-sense
on the part of the ignorant workman who
built the fire around the explosive. He
meant well, but he knew nothing. Dyua-
mite is very dangerous when frozen, but the
proper way to thaw il out is not to put it
INTO a stove or to surround ii with a fire, but
to place 1t In pan and raise the temnera-
ture by the heat Of boiling water. Every
dynamite company ought In issue specific
instructions on this point 1t Is not enough
to sell dynamite and leave the rest to un-
taught intelligence. No man should be
allowed to handle dynamite or any other
high explosive who has not undergone some
training worthy of the name in his duties.
Who is in, who is cut? This is question
which the citizens of San Francisco are
able to answer for the first time after the
election. 1t may be doubted whether a
single city or State has like experience.
Yet thirty States and hundreds of cities had
the Australian ballot, more or less in the
same form that California had. 1t is vain
to expect that all the candidates are salts
fed. Some of them may insist upon a re-
count. But it is at the unpleasant expense
of money out OF pocket. There appears TO
be no other way Of getting at the ballots of
yoters-the true telltales of what has been
done. One or two men may insist upon n
recount, but whatever iniquity or jugglery
may thus be disclosed we shall never know
the sum total OF knavery at this election.
for the whole story cannot be inquired into
at the behest of one or two individuals,

THE MOST ArIlABLE OF MEN.

Had Mr. Gladstone and Mr.. Lab0uchere
been Frenchmen they would have had a
meeting on the field of honor after the last
general election and have tried to spit each
o'her in the harmless way prevailing among
Gallo politicians and journalists. But
dueling is now rabOoed in England. Mr..
LabOuchere thought he was entitled to a
place in Mr.. Gladstone's Cabinet, and he
asserted that Queen Victoria had interfered
to prevent him taking office. This was
denied by Mr.. Gladstone. who declared lie
had not mentioned Mr.. Labouehere's name.
This was probably the fact. for the English
Premier is not partial to extreme men. He
is, however polite and tolerant Of all. He
made the best defense of Mr.. BradIaugh,
the former colleague of Mr.. Labouchere,
that ever was offered, and aow the aged
statesman has seen fit to pay a visit of
courtesy and friendship to the editor of
Truth and to drink tea with him and his
wife. The sight of the Grand Old Man and
LabOuchere the cynic taking dish Of tea
together is worthy of cartoon.

HINDOO BELIEFS.
Some Very Curious Notions Concern
ing Cows.

81 Louis Republic
For centuries the HindooS have regarded
the killing of cow or the eating Of her
flesh a crime for which there is no forgive
ness. The Emperor AurunEZebe was de-
tested by all the Rajpoot Princes, as well as
by the people of lower caste, because he
ordered the slaughter Of the cows of Raipoo-
tana, not for the sake of the beef but in a
spirit of persecution and revenge. As late
as the end of the last century Tippo Sultan
excited horror throughout Southern India
because he compelled I1indoos to eat beef
in order that they might be polluted and
thus more readily take to the Mohammedan
form Of religion. A perusal of the
historic facts above set forth will nat
urally cause the reader to ask: What
Is there about the cow 10 command such
superstitious reverence? BY way of answer
L would say that cow worship is associated
with the oldest forms of known religious
worship. From remOtest antiquity the cow
has been regarded as the incarnation of the
female element in nature-tne universal
mother. The early Egyptians worshiped
the goddess Isis in the form of a woman
with the horns OF COW. The Hlndoos w0r-
ship the cow as an incarnation of LAX
shmi, tile wife Of Vishnu, the holy, beauti-
1ul and pure ideal OF woman, who rose, like
Aphrodite, out of the sea. To wake ND in
the morning and see COW the first thing is
the best omen Of good luck that can pos
sibly befall the orthodox Hindoo.
The ideas Gf the Hindoos as TO beef are
altogether different from those of the Budd-
hiSJs. The HindOO regards a COW as a
diety, and it is said that they would much
rather eat human flesh than taste beef.
They have even been known to perish OF
starvation on shipboard rather than eat
salt beef. Buddhists. on the contrary,
have no superstition which teaches them
that the cow is a diety. They only object
to killing such animals for food because il
is contrary To their laws of kindness, which
forbid the killing Of any OF Gods creatures
III animals die natural death or get killed
through an accident, the Buddhist's obiee-
ton To eating flesh immedia tely vanishes
1t is even recorded that Gotama Buddha
himself ded-or rather passed into the
nothingness of Nirvana TASK some member
OF the st. Louis Theos0pbical Society what
that means)-from eating too much roast
