TIMELY BIT ADVICE.

In these times of grip and pneumonia
it is of great Importance that we should
know where to look for safe and sure
remedy. A slight cold may become Il
serious one, the scarcely noticeable
pain in the chest is too often the fore
runner of pneumonia. The first cough
may lead to consumption Ga cough is al
ways dangerous). Never neglect cold
or cough for even one day. but get at
once. as safe and sure remedy, Krmp's
Balsam, the best cough cure, which is
recommended on all sides. 1t should be
kept in the house regularly to avoid de-
lay when needed. 1t is sold at all the

THE TRAFFIC ASSOCIATION.

The annual meeting of the Traffic Asso-

hal of the Chamber of Commerce No
similar association ever made more salts

Traffic Association was organized the
Transcontinental Railroad Association
fixed rates on California products going
East and Eastern goods coming West. For
a consideration the Pacific Mail Steamship
Company allowed the Transc0ntinental
Association to dictate as to steamer rates.
San Francisco was at the mercy of the
combined railroad companies. The freight
rates were fixed with a purpose to supply
as large part of the Pacific Coast from
Eastern cities as possible. Affairs were in
this condition when the Traffic Associa-
ton was organized.
The association now reports that the
railroad combination has gone to pieces
The first blow delivered was the esta 5lish-
ment of clipper lines round Cape Horn,
which are now in successful operation.
The second was the formation of the North
American Navigation Company, with a
contract with the Panama Company which
secures to the North American Company
the trade between points north of Aca-
pulco and Eastern ports and ports OF
Europe.
The Pacific Mail dies harder than the

was ever penned by the hand of man. No
bookseller who looks out for his interest
has a copy on his shelves. Take stronger
case. No one will question the genius Of
Bulwer-Lytton. Few works of fiction in
the language possess more intrinsic merit
than "My Novel; or the "Caxtons," yet

that the tool may be employed. Mrs.

Safe leaders TO follow are scarce. One
of the most intelligent and experienced
theatrical managers in the East confessed
that he never knew when he produced a
new play whether it was going to be a sue

fortunes were at the time on the ebb,
complained that he could not get good

ANOTHER SUCH VICTORY.

President Cleveland has his foot on the
neck of the Democratic party. There was
a time when the party seemed brave and
strong enough to resist Presidential power,
but that time is past. Mr.. Cleveland may
say with the general who won a victory by
a sacrifice of the lives of the best part of
his army that another such victory will be
fatal. 1t is not to be supposed that the
struggle for silver will cease with the sur
render OF half score of Democratic Sena-
tors. The silver repeal bill will pass, but
silver measure will sooner or later re-
place it. 1t is not possible that the great
body of the people will accept a settlement
of this vital issue in which they had no
part.
When tie last national convention met
both parties declared for the use of silver
as full legal-tender money. The gold men
of neither party had sufficient confidence
in the popularity of monometallism to de-
clare for it in the platform. On the DEM
ocratic side they went into the campaign
with fall intent TO deceive the voters. A
gold candidate on platform which called
for the coinage of silver on the same
terms as gold was accepted in the full be-
lief that the patronage of the Presidential
office would enable their candidate in the
event of his election to interpret the plat
form to suit himself. The President mas
wen one game, but the rest has yet to be
played

WANT THEM BACK.
Pacific Bank Securities in
Demand.
THE FIRST NATIONALS ACT.
Receiver WilIey's Explanation OF
Counsel Stones Retirement as
Question of Control.
THE FIRST NATIONALS ACT

Reeeiyer Wiley of the Pacific Bank and
the Bank Commissioners look the first step
toward liQuidating the banks affairs yes
terday by demanding that the Flrst Ma
tionaI Bank should return certain securities
valued at 100000 and consisting chiefly
of well-indorsed notes. which it Is claimed
the First National Bank was permitted to
take from the Pacific Banks vault on the
day of its failure. The First National IS
the agent Of the Chemical National Bank
of New York, which is large creditor OF
the Pacific Bank.
This rather surprising demand is based
ON the belief of the receiver that the Off
GERS of the Pacific Bank had no right 10
allow the securities to pass out OF the
bank. So far no formal reply has been
made to the demand.
The resignation of Frank NJ. Stone as
counsel in the affairs of the Pacific Bank
has been announced, and the cause OF
Stones retirement is differently inter-
preted.
Stone himself gives out that he disagreed
with the receiver and Associate Counsel
BaggetU as to the best policy to be pur-
sued in winding uD the affairs OF the bank.
Stone says he simply wanted to avoid un-
necessary litigation, to protect no one-not
even the directors-and to wind up things
in accordance with the bank act as soon as
possible.
Receiver Wiley. on the other hand.
through his attorney, Baggett denied yes
terdaY that there was any question OF pol
icy or protection or OF the construction OF
the bank act involved
Mr.. Baggett said that when difficulty
had arisen regarding the power OF the
receiver and Bank Commission to appoint
officers and employees to wind up the bank
without the ratification of the bank Off
GERS, the McDonalds had offered to ap-
prove any appointments on two conditions.
One condition was that Dunno and McPike
should act as their reDresen tatives on the
same footing as Baggett. and the other
that Frank M. Stone should have entire
control.
81 told Mr.. Stone" said Mr.. Baggett,
"that the proposition was Indecent
offered to submit my reasons for refusing
to entertain it. together with his reasons
for making the proposition, to the courts
or Commissioners to decide between us,
but he declined and withdrew. He has
given out certain reasons for his with
drawal, but his real reason was my refusal
to consent to the two provisOs for the in
PRODUCTION of himself and Dunno and Nc
Pike in the interests of the McDonaldS to
control the winding up OF the bank and the
handling of the assets"
MIR. Baggett said that the arrangement
as to fees was that he, Stone and Dunno
and McPike should each take third.
The work of completing an inventory is
proceeding at the bank steadily, and it is
expected will be completed by the time
that an answer is filed to the complaint
now pending in the courts asking that the
institution be declared insolvent and plac-
ing it entirely under the control Of the
Commissioners.

HIS AMERICAN WIFE.

The people of Guatemala are said to at
tribute the policy Of President Barrios to
his American wife. She is reputed to be
able and ambitious and to possess the
some what unAmerican desire TO sit upon a
throne. The one in sight is not a very
large one, but is considered better than
none at all. 1t is quite probable that the
Guatemalans do Nine. Barrios an injus-
tice. The President having disappointed
them il is not unnatural that they should
lay the blame on his foreign wife The
French used 10 ascribe the acts of Louis
XVI to Marie Antoinette. whom they in
variably spoke of as the Austrian. AS the
Queen in that case was the better man Of
the two the French were not far wrong.
But President BarriOs is himself a man of
ability. and it is highly impro bable that he
has placed his head in moose at the
suggestion of even his North American
wife.

stock is criterion to go by. The asso-
citation shows that on seven commodities
the saving to the State in freight between
the two years is S1.S33. .579. So much for
what has been done with an investment of
$1,000 which is not yet exhausted. The
clipper lines and the North American
steamship lines are to be continued. but
these do not enable merchants to reach
the interior. At present goods have to be
sent over the Southern Pacific Company's
lines at Southern Pacific rates. The
Traffic Association submits to the people
the proposition of providing competing
roads TO all parts of the State. This must
be done with our own money. 1t is In
line with action by Eastern cities which
have been threatened with eclipse through
the operation of roads built in the interest
of other cities. An association that has
done so much will certainly succeed in
completing its work.
The morning call., 1893-10-26
JURY-BRIBING.

1t has been said that the two men who
are in custody on a charge of bribing
jurors in the Curtis case consider their ar
rest as kind of joke. They cannot un-
derstand that the authorities mean to
press the charge. They appear to be Of
that order of intelligence that perceives no
wrong in an act that is often committed
without punishment. Yet these two men
are charged with committing the most
heinOus crime man can commit The
murderer kills a single victim. The law
declares the murderer's life forfeited. Ii
he is free and Tessts capture he may be
killed. All the safeguards with which the
law surrounds innocent human beings are
removed. The murderer must eXpiate his
crime to warn other men from an indul-
gence in their murderous propensities.
But the jury-briber is worse enemy of
the public than the ordinary ID murderer.
He invades the sacred temple of justice and
mocks the purpose for which it was
erected. His object generally is to make a
little money. To crafty his avarice he
teaches the public that there is no such
thing as justice. The scales tip toward
the party to suit who has the longest
purse or best knows how TO use money.
Counsel are often employed. not for their
knowledge of law, but, for their familiar
ity with practices by which corrupt ver-
diets are secured. OF course the wretch
who approaches a Juror with coin in his
hand is not worse than the counsel who
employs him or the official who looks to
one side while the bargaining is being
done.
The reason why jury bribers are so sell
dom punished is because if justice were
done they would head SO long procession
in the direction of the penitentiary. Men
who have become rich by that kind of
practices deprecate proceedings thai lead
TO exposure. Yet. by whomsOever COM
miIted, jury -bribing is treason. 1t is trea-
son not only against the existing Govern
ment but against all government When
men see that there is no justice to be OBJ
tained in the courts they. devise other
ways to protect life and property. Justice
they want and justice they will have. If
the courts are so constituted that justice
cannot be reached through that source a
shorter way will be found.
II is not supposed that the two men now
in custody on charge of jury bribing
nave any adequate conception Oh the enOr-
nifty Of that crime. They probably re-
gard themselves as unfortunate in being
caught. They consider themselves the
victims Of somebody's bad faith. They
tried to do friend a service and now. in
their parlance, be has gone back on them.
He was willing to employ them but un-
willing to pay them. Being cheated out
of their pay by more adroit rascal than
themselves they possibly think themselves
entitled to the sympathy Of the public.
