1NpusTEIAL CoMPETIrIoN.

The Woodland Democrat disagrees with
THE CALL in the position that ut is not
wise to measure the value Of an industry by
our share in it," The principle neverthe-
less is sound. There may be reasons why
one State does not largely engage in manu-
featuring industries. Perhaps other branches
of industries pay better; perhaps the oppOr-
tunities offered in these other branches
cause wages TO remain above the rate at
which manufacturing is profitable; perhaps
one State has not the supply of skilled labor
or of labor skilled in certain industries that
competing States possess. But it will GER
tainiy be 4 great advantage to an agricul
tural State to have manufacturing indus
tries established In neighb0rrng States The
larger the proportion of consumers to pro-
ducers the better for the latter In this
way he gets a surer market and better prices.
1t is quite likely that for years to come Call
fornia will not manufacture tin plate. But
the State produces raw tin. and the Eastern
manufacturer makes a market for it Cali
fornla does comparatively little Of her own
work. We do not convert our wool into
cloth, our hides into boots and shoes, our
woods into furniture nor cur tin into plate.
All these branches of industry are con-
of wages. With sparse population and a
wide range Of agricultural industries. we
have not yet experienced the necessity
of adopting this common standard of
wages. The average laborer in this
State can do better in some other
kind Of work. But our Woodland contem-
porary is in error in the conclusion that
'the consumers of California must submit
70 Of Of
dollars every year in order that the prin-
ciple Of protection may be maintained and
the manufacturer or the Atlantic seabOard
have DO competitor" In point of fact the
establishment Of tin-plate works in Eastern
cities does not cost California one dollar.
Circulars of tin-pate importers who are
not interested IN the establishment of local
works make the important admission that
the price Of tin cans aud utensils has not
advanced in consequence Of the new duties.
These circulars do not mean, of course. that
no dealer has taken advantage Of the inn
preston that tinware would rise in price,
but that the trade is uniformly crippled
at the same rates as formerly The adj
vance in the price of tin-plate is small. the
foreign manufacturer paying the greater
part Of the extra duties to keep his wares in
the American market we must also fe-
mind our Woodland critic that the manu-
factureT on the Atlantic seaboard is a for
midable competitor of himself There are
now 10 tin-plate companies turning out
tin-plate every month, aud there are %
others organized and erecting works which
will very shortly add to the total product.
Even if competition should stop at this
point it could hardly be said that the Allan
tic seaboard manufacturer has no con-
petitOr

A CASE FOR THE PEOPLE.

The case Of Conlin VS.. San Francisco
rests on the assumption that if a debt
cannot be collected from the party that
owes it the most convenient solvent party
may be made 70 lay. Conln did some street
work for which adjacent property was re-
sponsible. Having found it difficult or i'm
possible to collect Of adjacent property
holders, the holders Of the claim that goes
in Conlin's name turned their attention to
the city. IL not necessary at this time to
make a record Of all the efforts the holders
Of the claim have made to constitute the
city their debtor. The one which promised
the best results was a deal with the last
LEGISLATURE, by which that body with or
without a consideration. declared itself a
court and promptly rendered judgment
against the city, This act OF the Legisla-
ture alarmed no one. The way to the city
treasury could not be opened without some
action by city court. The missing link
has been supplied with an innate sense of
the eternal fitness Of things by Superior
Judge Hebbard. An astounding decision
was given Friday ordering the proper Off
cials to pay over the money. To what ex-
tent Judge HeDDard is responsible for this

CUR GRAND WAY.

California appropriated S300,o0O to make
a State show at the Worlds Fair. 1t was
urged that with conspicuous building
filled with the choicest products OF the State,
California would fix the eye # the average
visitor at the fair. No other State could
make such a showing. The only other State
which produces semi-tropical fruits produces
nothing else. California produces every
thing that grows in New England, in the
Middle and Western States, with the most
luscious fruits Of the South. Certainly if
visitors had time for no other State building
they would have time for the California ex-
hibit. The State Commissioners began in a
grand way. The 100000 appropriation
seemed inexhaustibIe. The first principle
adopted was that the laboIer was worthy Of
hire. No one was asked to do anything for
nothing. Salaries ranged from $500 a month
down. To be in any way connected
with the Fair Commission was about as
good as a legacy 1t appears. however,
that the commission has discovered that
there is a bottom even to a $500. 900 purse.
The rumor now is that the State building is
to be constructed on a $4,000 plan. This
will make it about third in rank among
State buildings. States that made smaller
appropriation than California made Will,
from present indications, have larger and
finer buildings. A proposition has ema-
mated from one of the bureaus which, if
Carried out, will make the California show
distinctive. 1t is proposed that sum Of
money be set apart to enable ladies and
gentlemen assisting at the exhibition to
give a daily banquet to a number of invited
guests. At the banquet only California
wines should be dunk and only the per-
fume of California flowers inhaled. The
idea is truly Californian. We believe in
eating and drinking. The distinguished
guests who find good meal once day at
the California table will at least say good
word for the State.

over the success of a profitable prae-
tical Joke But when found out it is seri-
Gus matter for further business. All c0llec-
tons of antiquities. at least In the hands Of
private persons, are doomed to abound in
shams.. The manufacture OF shams is
business-in pottery, Greek and Roman
bronZes and vases rings and ornaments of
manifold variety, and only the rarely
learned ana very skilfull can elude the
snares so plentifully floated along the path
Of the antiquarian. Even DOCKS and Egyp-
tian papyri are thus Judged up for the de-
light of the innocent and unsuspectiDg.
The imitation of ancient colonial pennies
can hardly be classified in the calendar as
cOunterfeiting and the use OF the United
States mails for the furtherance OF these de-
ceptions is scarcely more heinOus and Gen.
surable than for the floating of innumer-
able commercial swindes. A man who
offers for sale a gold coin of the time of
Semiramis may believe in the genuineness
Of his possession, but others need not and
generally do not.
The pedestrian who is on his way to New
York from San Francisco at the minimum
daily tramp of % miles is to be pitied. He
has reached Iowa after so days OF trudging,
and he learns that the bet of 5000 which

is off on a very technical objection, that lie
has not footed the whole distance, but took
in boat. instead of walking round it. 1t is
too late for him TO return and begin again.
He can only console himself with the In
MIGRATING benefits of the exercise be has

One of those freaks of the Snowman line
has made his appearance in New York, with
the ayowod intention Of fasting over seven

tation Of his rival, Succi. He be-
lieyes he can keep up his vitality on nothing
during fifty-two days-that is to say, moth
ing but water and some elixir, Of which he
boasts as a miraculous f0Ttifer of the sys-
TEN. and the secret of which he is willing
to dispose of for fortune. Exhibitions Of
this kind are of 10 value to mankind, and
do not teach the doctors anything they do
not know. They are simply modern phase
of shO~manship devised TO stimulate the
appetite for sensatiOnalism. The man who

The managers of the Union StOckyard
Company will do not little to rob CaIifor-
MIA of reproach on its methods OF slaughter
ing animals by the system they propose to
introduce at Rodeo. Necessarily there is
some cruelty in any mode Of dispatching
the animals we are pleased to call dumb
for mans use, but the agony IS very pro-
tTacted by the slaughterDg processes which
have been followed on this coast, and in
addition the amount of waste is very I'M
economical, and the meat is not sent to
market in the prime condition it is in Chi
cago. All this will be changed by the new
company and business started which may
have far-reacnlng results over the western
half of the United States. This is one Of
the enterprises that an association Of capt.
talists can undertake with credit and benefit
to the whole community. and within a short
time San Francisco may take its place as
the center OF great meat supply.
1t is almost wonder that when a cargo
OF Chinese arrive in eur harbor, such as
was on board the City of Picking the other
day, but fortunately not landed. there are
not numerous cases of smallpox. In the
Flowery Land. and especially in the cities,
the Chinese are indeserbably stepped in
eyil-smelling squalor and filth, and they
have always some epidemic on hand to thin
out their too-fecund numbers Smallpox is
not under any check. 1t does not attack
the adult population so much as the youHg,
probably for the reason that most of them
have had the disease. A writer in the Sani-
tartan thus describes the conditions at
Chingkiang On the Yangtse: "Smalpox
prevails in an epidemic form every winter,
probably in all the cities on the river. but
attacks young children almost exclusively,
doubtless because all older persons have had
it during childhood. The Chinese regard it
as a mild disorder, merely tying a red rag
about a child's head as a distinguishing
mark, and suffering it. if the weather be
fne To run about in the street and play with
the other children" AS is we'll known,
the Chinese take very unwiilingly to vac
cinatiOn, and as an alternative they have
smallpox in a yirulent form. 1t is not easy
to alter their habits, and CalifOTnians are
not inclined 10 try the experiment.
A young man is under arrest in Wisconsin
for the fabrication of coins, but it is by no
means certain he can be brought to trial as
