Mending Tin.

Any housewife can mend her own
tin, il is not entirely worn out, with
out spending cent, in this way,
writes lady in Georgia
Take the tin cans from which you
have used peaches, salmon, etc., and
put them on the stove when it is very
hot. The solder will melt and run on
the stove. Take it up with an old
knife, lay it on some old piece Of iron
to cool, and put it away for use.
When hole appears in your dish
pan or other tin vessels, scrape around
the hole with knife until there is a
small circle that looks like new tin (;
then dip your finger in strong vinegar
and wet the spot we'll. In the mean
time have an old poker or some piece
of iron that you can handle easily in
the fire and let it get rod hot. Put a
piece of the solder over the hole, of
sufficient size to cover it; then apply
the red hot iron to melt. Make the
edges of the solder fat and smooth SO
you will have neat job. Your tin
will be mended quite as well as ii it
it had been sent to the tinshop.

Brings comfort and improvement and
tends to personal enjoyment when
rightly used. The many, who live bet
ter than others and enjoy life more, with
less expenditure, by more promptly
adapting the worlds best products to
the needs of physical being, will attest
the value to health of the pure liquid
laxative principles embraced in the
remedy, Syrup of Figs
Its excellence is due to its presenting
in the form most acceptable and pleas
ant to the taste, the refreshing and truly
beneficial properties of perfect lax
atiye; effectually cleansing the system
Yhspelling colds, headaches and fevers
and permanently curing constipation.
It has given satisfaction to millions and
met with the approval of the medical
profession because it acts on the Kid
neys, Liver and Bowels without weak
ening them and it is perfectly free from
every Objectionable substance.
Syrup of Figs is for sale by all drug

versity have no duties whatever until the
death of both founders of that institution:
that in the deed of foundation it is spe-
officially stipulated that the Trustees shall
not enter upon their trusts until after the
death of Leland Stanford and Mrs. Leland
Stanford. There is, therefore, no incon-
sistepcy in holding prospective trustee
ship in the Leland Stanford University
and an active -trusteeship in the State
University.
The Examiner proceeds to say that an
other cogent reason for the appointment
OF Judge Slack is that he is a graduate OF
the university. This is simply not a
reason at all. No graduate of university
should be under disability as to any posi-
ton, either in its government or its pro-
iessorships; but the fact that an individ-
ual graduated at university is not a
reason for his appointment to any official
position relating to it. If that is good
reason in one case. it would be good
reason in all; and we can conceive of no
better way TO force university into rut
than to have its graduates become it's
regents and professors. That policy
would set up at once a process of fossil
Ism. The distinction between provin-
cialism and cosmopolitanism comes into
view here. We sincerely hope that the
provincialism which declares that gradual
ton from university is a reason for APP
pointment to any official or educational
position relating to it will not become the
doctrine of this country. The way to per-
petuate the errors of educational method
or OF scientific conclusion forever, is to
select faculty and regency entirely from
the graduates of an institution. This
would set in motion policy destined to
narrow the horizon of a university per-
petually. The pupil is too much dis
posed to tramp around in the little circle
mapped out by his professor. To select a
faculty from such would arrest all educa-
tioaal progress.
When the Examiner says that DR..
Stebbins has kept himself well informed
on the advancement of university work
everywhere, and has always stood for
high educational standards in selecting
Instructors and courses of instruction, it
gives an excellent reason why he should
have been continued in the regency but
when it alleges that his trusteeship of the
Stanford University and the fact that
Judge Slack is a graduate OF the State
University are sufficient explanation of
the removal of DR.. Stebbins, it does not
explain. The failure to reappoint Dr.
Stebbins was mistake of judgment and
is little less than public misfortune.

mented with rigid, inelastic and unjust
rate law, she gladly repealed it, but set up
instead Railroad Commission with
Judge Reagan at its head. 1t was intrusted
with absolute power, unlimited authority.
1t regulated and fixed rates with such
vengeance and inequity as might have
inspired the envy of the San Francisco
Traffic Association regulators. The re-
suit was that the carriers, to escape ruin,
had to appeal to the judicial arm which
extends between the grasp of might and
the guarantee of inalienable right. And
so the Federal Court interposed, and the
result was the neutralizing of the pow
ers of the Texas Railroad Commission
and the salvation of the railroads from
bankruptcy.
But here we have a lawyer, the elect
exponent of the San Francisco Traffic
Association, the lineal descendant in
rabidism of the departed Leeds, the re-
tanned voice of the merchants of San
Francisco, ignorant of a fact with which
every crossroads attorney in the land is
assumed 70 be familiar. If this is the
best the Traffic Association can do in pre-
senting case worthy of legislative con-
slderation, it is deserving of nifty.

UNIVERSITY REGENTS.

The Examiner of February 18th verv
suddenly and very Unexpectedly arises
TO apologize for the appointment of
Charles w. Slack as Regent of the Uni
versity of California to succeed Rev. Ho-
ratio Stebbins, whose term will expire in
March. 1894. The Examiner says that DIR.
Stebbins has been Regent since the Uni
versity was established, and in that posi-
ton has been most attentive and intelli-
gent in the performance of his duties.
The Examiner further states that DR..
Stebbins has kept well informed as to
the advancement of university work
throughout the country, and has always
been the advocate of high educational
standards, that he has been progressive,
and that he certainly may feel well salts
fed with the results of his devoted work
for so many years in the cause of higher
education. The paper goes on to say that
he is a Trustee of the Leland Stanford Jr.
University, and that as the two trusts are
to a certain extent inconsistent, the in
ference is that that was the principal rea-
son for his dismissal.
This explanation does not explain at
all. 1t should be well known to the En-
aqaiaer. as it is no doubt well known
throughout the country, that the Trus-
tees of the Leland Stanford Jr. Uni

A GUARD FOR THE CHARTER.


The title to Senate Bill No. Cos suggests
what we apprehend will be a perfectly
clear way out of the possible danger
threatening the new charter of this city.
That bill refers to collection of taxes in
cities, but especially excerpts "cities oper-
ating under charter framed under Sec
ton 8, Article XI. OF the Constitution,
approved March ., 1891"
1t would seem, then. that all that is
needed to prevent any complications and
to avoid litigation and trouble is for the
committee the Trustees have appointed
since the RECoRD-UNIoN called attention
to the matter to advise with our legisla-
tive delegation, to secure the addition TO
each bill that may by any possibility
affect our charter of section reading
Nothing in this Act shall be held to ap-
ply to cities operating under "A charter
provided for by the Constitution" etc.
The authors of the bills could raise no
objection to this exception, since each
must stand ready to declare that it is not
his desire to assail chartered cities.
By this method such bills in the Senate
as affect us can be neutralzed. For IN
stance, 593, changing our police system;
% and so, restoring the Fire Commission
under certain conditions; 50, requiring
list of bills against the city to be pub
llshed monthly; l2S, relative to public;
works; 364, changing our Police Court
system; 1858, giving monopoly of gar
bage disposal; 4SS, relating to bonds; 500.
upsetting our police salary schedule; 52G,
authorizing suits on debts and providing
how judgments shall be paid, etc.
