BRANDING MEAT.

For protection against their own whole
sale meat dealers and butchers the English
are casting about for some practicable
method of marking foreign meat to pre-
vent it being sold as prime Welsh mutton.
home-fed Durham or Scotch West High
land. There is no objection save among a
proportion of agriculturists. but by no
means all, to foreign meat coming into the
country untaxed from every quarter of the
globe. and it does come by the shipl0ad.
The quantity Of butchered meat which dis
appears down English outlets is appalling.
Whatever the supply there seems always
room for more. Meat arrives in prodiglous
quantity from the United States. Canada,
Argentina, Australia. New Zealand. Hol-
land, Denmark and Germany. Consign-
ments of livestock are also heavy, and
prime qualities fetch nearly as much as the
choicest English stock. The frozen NUT
ton from the Antipodes is so excellent tha al
it is often passed off as Welsh black-faced.
the sweetest of all meats, and very large
proportion of American shipments, es-
pecially on the hoof, is similarly disposed
of TO the public.
Foreign shippers have something 10 gain
by the introduction of brand. They do
not gain anything by the imposition now
practiced. The extra price obtained by
fraud goes wholly into the pockets Of the
wholesale men and the retail distributors.
Thousands of fat cattle from the United
States are slaughtered every week at Dept
ford, Birkenhead and Glasgow, and very
few carcases are sold as American. That
honor is reserved for the somewhat de-
Perforated quarters kept chilled on the voy-
age. The reason is plain. Call the me at
English and it fetches better price. and
the extra profits 60 into the pocket Of the
local trade.
A House of Lords committee has had
before it plan which will end this i'm
position. Meat is 10 be stamped. n OF by
the Danish plan of painting the quality on
joints, but by electric cautery. The COM
mittee has been favorably impressed with
a simple electric contrivance which is to
make ineradlcabie stamping about as easy
as brushing off fly. No doubt all man.
ner of objections W ill arise in the mind of
the trade at such unwonted interference
with the prescrlptlve right to fool the
public but it is impossible to show that
cautery will spoil the meat if it does the
market. The butcher. therefore, may tiud
it difficult to exact 6 to II cents more per
pound for meat than he should do, because
the unimpeachable stamp will snow on a
quarter of lamb. a roast of beef or leg of
mutton. Eventually the foreign shipper
may be advantaged. A considera bic
amount of meat is superior, and will not
fear comparison. Such meat will be well
coined under it's own name, and may ge,
better prices through the enforcement of
honest WAYS

SWAPPING DOLLARS.

The Galveston Nelrs says that 'no
nation is going to swap dollars with US un-
less our dollar is as good the world over as
its dollar" 1t may never have occurred
to the NeUs that commerce does not con-
sist of swapping dollars. A nation bays
products with its dollars and sells its
surplus products for the dollars of some
other nation. If the dollar of one nation
is not as good as the dollar of another the
difference will appear in the prices of conI-
modities. The United States sells products
to gold countries and like products to sill.
yer countries. But we do not sell wheat
or cotton for silver at the price we sell for
gold. At the present time part of the
world is On silver standard and part on
gold standard. Being practically on a
gold standard we do not refuse to do bust
ness with silver nations. To do so would
deprive us of the trade of nations which in
the future promise to be of the great
est profit. 1t is question if it
would not be well for US to put our
finances in harmony with those of
nations which are likely to become
our best customers. We can never hope
to sell Europe anything but raw material.
Its cheaper labor will stand in the way of
large expectation of finished goods. But
our surplus of raw material is gradually
diminishing. 1t has been estimated that
by the close of the present century we
shall have, one year with another, no
breadstuffs to spare. If we escape the
perils of free trade our manufactures will
increase year by year. We shall work
into finished goods the raw material we
now export. Where can we look for a
market for such goods? Can we sell TO
England, France. Germany or other coun-
tries which have machinery. skill. capital
and labor? VIII we not rather look for
market in the countries on this continent.
which have made less progress in the art
of manufacture? Our public men keep
their eyes too steadily fixed on Europe.
If we would put ourselves in shape to meet
the growing necessities of our American
neighbors it might be better for us. 1t is
mainly difference between Blaine and

HER IMPERIAL PEN.

A New York journal hopes that the
Princess Eulalia will take Gp her imperial
pen and write narrative of her trip and
impressions of America. One reason why
the Princess will not comply with this re-
quest is that she has no imperial pen to
take up. She is only remotely heir to a
throne and that throne is not of the i'm
perial class. 1t seems to be impossible for
New York journal to allude to the rulers
of Europe without conveying an impress
sion of person on his knees begging the
favor of kick as token of appreciation.
The newspapers of that city are appa-
rently enraptured with a social system
which permits Victoria to command the
attendance of Gladstone.

GOOD, SQUARE TALK.

Governor Markham talks we'll on the
Senatorial question. In fact. he talks Up
to the highest plane of political action.
Ee asks nothing but the approval of Cali
fornia wien the time comes to lay down
the Office be now holds. 1t is quite within
the Governors power to merit this ap-
proval. and if he merits it he will get it.
Our standard is not so high that Governor
Markham may not hope to stand squarely
upon it. In respect to the Senatorial ap-
pOintmant it is not expected that he will
make the very best possible choice that
can be made. There is no one man who is
SO conspicuOusIy the best that Governor
looking impartially over all might not fail
to perceive his superior fitness. The es-
sential qualifications are independence of
corporations and good private character.
II 10 these essentials we can add high
order Of intelligence so much the better.

FRANCE AND NGLAND.

The tone Of superiority which the Eng.
lish press affects in relation to France is
hardly warranted by what we know of
the industrial condition of the two coun-
tries France has had her little shake-up
in the last year or two, but there are no
such indications of industrial decadence as
are apparent in England. The land sys-
tenn of France ties the tiler to the soil. If
farming is not remunerative the small
owner makes the best Of it. He gets what
he can from his land and adapts his neces-
stiles 10 his means. In England, on the
other hand, the farmer rents land at con-
stantlY decreased pi oft to himself. Every
year impairs his ability to meet his
obligations to his landlord. who in most

THE CARE OF MILLIONS.
Leland Stanford's Will Is Admitted
to Probate.

TIE will of Leland Stanford was ad-
mitted to probate yesterday morning with
very little ceremony.
Long before the hour appointed for the
opening of court Mrs. Stanford was in the
courtroom, surrounded by a bevy of
friends and counselors. Stephen T. Gage
was there, as were Timothy Hopkins. Rus
sell j. Wilson. Mountford Wilson. Colonel
c. F. Croker. Major RathbOne and Secre-
tary II. C. Nash.
AS soon as Judge Coffey took his seat
the proceedings commenced. Mrs. Stan
ford was duly identified and examined, and
the will was proved by the subscribing
witnesses, Russell j. Wilson. NJ. S. Viii
son. Timothy Hopkins. Major Rathbone.
Henry T. Scott. II. Nash. G. F. Croker.
Then, without any further ceremony.
Judge Coffey made an order admitting the
will to probate. The whole proceedings
barely took up half an hour.
Immediately after the will was admitted
Mrs. Stanford left the courtroom and
passed into the County Clerks Office,
where Probate Clerk Casserly admins
tered the oath to her. She was then pro.
nounced qualified TO act as administering
of the estate without bonds. After the
ceremony was over Mrs. Stanford left the
City Hall with her friends.

The support by subscription to the
Stockton and Bakersfield Railway Is very
encouraging. according to the reports
from the committees. There is the fullest
confidence that the road will be built. 1t Is
plainly good business proposal. sound
investment of money with sure prospect
of fair return from traffic. Even me-
chanics are showing an interest in a road
which will develop the State, increase its
population and stimulate its industries.
Mr.. Leeds of the Traffic Association re-
peats his well-known views on cana.
transportation. The railway is necessary
at once and should be made for the sake
of quick transportation. What is possible
may be done by the Government and
others in improving the river accommoda-
ti0n. but that should not stand IN the way
of the Stockton and Bakersfield Railway.
The one is urgent and must be made by
private capital. The other depends on
other action.
The secretary of the new City Hall Com
missioners announces In his report what it
will cost to complete the building accord
ing to the full designs. His estimate is
S1.600,000. which represents 81. 200, 900 for
a mansard roof and 100000 for tower of
sky-piercing altitude. The estimate is
probably not under the mark. In these
matters the mistakes are always on the
side Of extravagance. What the mansard
roof ia worth as an architectural utility
and ornament has not been discussed
deeply, but tho tower suggested is an Off
cial mark of exclamation which does not
improve the artistic composition.

HARD ON THE TAXPAYERS.

The New York Recorder applauds the
wisdom of the English House of Commons
in devsing a plan for the retirement of
schoolteachers who have become incapaci-
tated for service. The Recorder. however.
does not seem to be aware of the fact that
salaries in England are based upon the
pension system. Schoolteachers' salaries
are graded about on the line of civil SER
vice employees who are pensloned. The
teacher is not paid enough during service
to permit of decent provision for the fu-
ture. In this country different system
prevails. We pay public servants fair
salaries and expect them to make pro-
vision for themselves. To pay them liberal
salaries for service and then award PEN

California is not in the boom cond;-

the currency through an excessive use of
credit. What business is being done is on
conservative basis. Business men have
for some time not been able to get the

draw money from its hiding-places. There
can be no better time to make investments
than when series of dull years have
