icdn recommends this: Dissolve in
barrel of hot water sulphate of
zinc, 20 lbs; alum, 20 lbs; caustic
potash, 8 lbs; manganide oxide, 8
lbs, and add sulphuric acid s lbs.
Pack the shingles loosely in another
barrel and fill with the liquid,
holding the shingles under the
mixture. Fill up the first barrel
also with shingles, soak for three
hours and pile to dry, and repeat
until the shingles are fire-proofed.

DR.. NJ. J. Davis is prominent
physician of Lewis, Cass county,
Iowa, and has been actively engaged
in the practice of medicine at that
place for the past thirty-fve years.
On the 26th of May, while in Des
Moines en- route to Chicago, he was
suddenly taken with an attack of
diarrhea. Having sold Chamber
lain,s Collie, Cholera and Diarrhea
Remedy for the past seventeen
years, and knowing its reliability,
he procured a 25 cent bottle, two
doses of which completely cured
him. The excitement and change
of water and diet incident to trav-
cling often produce a diarrhea.
Every one should procure a bottle
ofthis Remedy before leaving home.

A Society Mans Predicamant.

there, and as large crowds came flock

30 accommodating as to give up his
room and sleep on sofa in the parlor
Ono morning he oversight himself,
and as his door was unlocked, what
was his surprise to find three pretty
Louisville young women enter the
room.
He had presence of mind enough
to roll under the sofa and back into a
dark corner before they threw open
the shutters. But, although be had
tucked himselfawsy, he had neglected
to hide his clothes, which we're thrown
across rocking chair. The girls saw
the clothes, but, believing they had
been left there accidentally by the
lady of the house, thought nothing
about them and began lively chat
about the matters OF the day.
The young man did not mind his
imprisonment at first, but grew very
nervous as the minutes gradually
into an hour. He stood
it for two hours, but ut last grew SO
exasperated that he thumped upon
the floor, aud meekly put his head
out from under the sofa and aske d

A MODEL OF EFFRoNTERY,

The owners of the thirty-one short-line
railroads in this State were on Friday
brazenly confronted by chief organ of
the Leeds-phobists and told that if their
roads will not pay under the cinch bill
they can shut up shop and go out of busi-
ness. This was exactly what the CagL
said:
Certain officials of short lines claim that
they are not earning running expenses. Then
why DO they continue to run their roads?
hunters of people embark in business and
lose money, while Others right alongside them
conuucJ the same business and make money;
IS II not possible that these unproductive
short lines might be productive if they were
IN The hands OF smarter men?
1t appears to be beyond the compre-
hension of the cal that business enter
prises, notably raiIroading in sparseIy
populated and newly developed sections,
are oftener than otherwise unremunera-
tive for number Of years. 1t seems to
be incapable of understanding the cour-
age, public spirit and patience that in
vests with the distant future only in
view as the time in which reward will re-
spond to enterprise.
1t would insult intelligence to give
illustrations; it would excite the contempt
of reasonable men to devote space to
prove the wisdom of investment without
present profit, or to illustrate the meth
DDS of building up business. 1t might
illuminate the intelligence of the CaU,
however-but that is a thankless task.
No journal that has the effrontery and
idiotic boldness to say to the promoters
of the short-line railroads in California,
who are essentially representative busi-
ness men of the interior communities.
that they are incapable of managing their
roads, and that in the hands of smarter
men the roads could stand the tightening
of cinch bill and not squeal, deserves to
be treated with reasons for anything.
Such stupidity and insulting asininity
is simply phenomenal. Our advice to
the short-line proprietors is to send to the
Call at once to detail some of their model
editors and reporters to come into the in
terror and show the world how to run
railroads the cost of maintenance of
which is greater than the income from
the traffic.

TAKING TO WATER.

The San Francisco Call of yesterday
editorially defended Leeds statement
that the distance tariff proposed for Cali
fornia is an exact copy of the Kansas dis
tance tariff. The Call uses this languages:
So Mr.. Martin, the attorney of the COM
Qany, 1mpugns the accuracy of Mr.. Leeds
figures on freight rates in Kansas; who is
likely to be nearest the truth, an expert who
IS familiar with the facts and has no object in
distorting the truth, or counsel bent on
making the case for his client?
We will answer that question. Leeds
did make the statement that his distance
tariff is an exact copy of that of Kansas.
The CdU knows he has made that state
ment, and hence it defends him. The
CaU believes in sticking to a thing, at
least.
But Leeds goes back on Leeds. The
truth does not tally with his statements.
When he is exposed by Mr.. Martin he
crawfishes, and this is how he reverses
himself and denies without a blush what
he knows to be the declaration he made.
In yesterdays E:cGnainer this departing
'expert'' says:
Regardless of Attorney Martins charge the
association never claimed that the California
distance tariff was an exact or even an ap-
proNlmate copy of the Kansas distance tariff

earn about the same revenue as the Kansas

The Kansas distance tariff. 1 admit that such
is the case. l intended that such should be

tonnage per mile as is the case here.
Evidently the CaU and Mr.. Leeds need
to consult; such divergence of statements
does not argue well for the intelligence of
either. to say nothing of the capacity of
Mr.. Leeds to speak reliably. To say the
least, he undercuts the CAL cruelty, in
leaving it alone to defend untruth.
Passing that, however, let us see how
the truth tallies with Mr.. Leeds in his
statement regarding the railroad tonnage
per mile in Kansas and here. The Rail
road Commissioners report for Kansas
for the year 1880 shows that roads re-
porting to the commission carried 81, GIG
tons of commercial freight, one mile for
each mile operated.
The annual report of the Southern Pa
cific system for 1891 shows the volume of
similar traffic carried for each mile
operated to be 253, 200 tons, or % per cent.
less than the Kansas roads. These figures
are official and accessible to everybody.
But Mr.. Leeds asserts with unblushing
effrontery that ''the Kansas roads have
not SO much tonnage per mile as here"
How should such gratuitous misrepre-
sentation be treated Plain, honest and
self-respecting men pronounce mepdacity
of this order more easily by calling it
lying.
The record-union., 1893-02-04

and Delano, Kern County, IS Is. we sub
nit compares with peculiar force favor
ably for the California railway rates with
the Paris-London rate of 81 50 for about
the same distance.
But the Bulletin, with characteristic
evasion, is silent upon the rate from Paris
to Bordeaux, 365 miles, with the fare at
s14, while from San Francisco to Tehach-
api, 362 miles. and eighty miles beyond
Delano, the fare is Sl1 O5; while from
Paris to Strasburg, 3l2 miles, it is So so,
and from Cherbourg to Brest, 262 miles,
it is $40; while from San Francisco to
Redding, just below Kennel, the rate
for $50 miles is but 81 80. So the COM
parsons may be made for columns, all
to the credit of the California rate.
The Bulletin concludes its Intellectual
reply by citing the recently tried Hun
garian zone system, where fares are fixed
sums for all distances within a zone, and
these it contends are much lower than
mileage passenger rates in California.
There is no comparison to :be made be-
tween the systems, obviously, but if the
hungarian system is SO very desirable
why did not the Bulletins Mr.. Leeds
propose it in his notorious constitutional
amendment instead of fixed mileage
rate?
Candidly, we advise the Bulletin not
to venture upon this question of passen-
ger rates. 1t will discover that the deeper
it goes, the more emphatic will become
the truth that, all things considered,
travel rates in California are dispropor-
tionately low compared with those pre-
vailing anywhere else.
The record-union., 1893-02-04

the Legislature make record of high
credit for itself as being one the story of
which will be free from sings and filings
at Sacramento because it happens that
piece of State property needs improve
ment.
The truth is that the park plat now un-
improved has so lain for nearly thirty
years. In good conscience that is long
enough. Ifthe property is worth having
1t is worth redemption from the reproach
of thistles, weeds, neglect and inartlstic
arrangement
The present Capitol Commissioners
have done well with what has been al
lotted to them; indeed, in the last two
years they have done more with less
money than any board that has ever had
charge of the grounds. Every member
of the Legislature can see for himself the
need for a walkway separate from the
driveway from L on one side and n on
the other to the north and south entrances
to the building. There is room for such
walks, and they ought to be constructed
at once. AS it is, those who wish to ap-
proach those entrances on Eleventh street
must go out of their way or travel in the
wagon road.
The members can see that the granite
steps should be completed on the ter
races, the unimproved east end of the
park reclaimed, and the unsightly tool
houses removed. Let a spirit of State
pride be manifest in this matter and the
Commissioners given the means they
need to carry out the scheme they have
already largely accomplished of improv-
ing the grounds and changing the stiff
and angular landscape gardening into de-
signs of artistic grace and beauty.
