The morning call., 1893-11-15

England dispatch eggs. poultry, Dutter,
cneese and frui: by parcel post 10 custom
ers, and as a Iule the service is prompt.
For all manner of small parcels the post
| ONCE Is, in short, regular express COM
pany, with an organization such as no eX-
press company possesses On the same
llnes similar goud results might be oD-
tained in the United States.
The unemployed in camp IN San Fran
CISCO are numerous, but very large pro-
portion of them seem disinclined to soil
their hands with labor. When there are
several hundred men protesting desire
for work and not thirty will volunteer to
earn fair wage for street-cleaning. some
thing is amiss. Indscriminate charity
must be held accountable for this extraor-
dnary condition of affairs. The constltu-
tionally lazy are not averse to begging, ana
the kindly disposed only require TO be
asked to bestow all the food needed for
the somewhat particular appetites OF these
gentry. On the railroads bands OF the MI
gratory are heading again for San Fran
cisco, which evidently Is regarded as
paradise. That numbers OF them are re-
1nSlng work by the way is sure lndlca-
ton OF what they are In search here. Some
day IN the United States it may be advisa-
BILE to ask people their business and to
show their credentials ere they are allowed
TO cross the border OK State. Ine tramp
element, consisting of habitual roamers,
is said to number about $4,000 They map
out the country as happy huntingground
and lead by no means cherries lie.
The terms which Charles Mitchell, pu-
gilist, is repor ed to have made with thea
trical managers shows that the prize
fighter has two very profitable professions
when he succeeds in one. Human nature
admires prowess and courage. and is apt to
suppose that il possesses both in modern
brulser in a superlative degree. Taking 1t
for granted that the offer of $4,000 week
is not, as so many things connected with
the prize ring are, bit OF fudge TO gull the
public, we have the remarkable result that
the reputation aud dramatic skill OF
Mitchell are valued at S1G4, 900 year.
The President has $4,000 year, and the
Associate Judges of the United States
Supreme Court $4,000. Very few lawyers
earn $100,O00 year, and no literary man
In any country at any time has ever made
that princey income. In his palmiest
days Walter Scott did not approach that
income from mis- novels and poetry, al
though be received $4,000 for one. This
is not matter of the purity OF the press.
but of the public.
Th Brazilian Minister TO this country
says that no mercy should be shown the
rebels who are now fighting under De
Mello. 1t is harsh way to speak of
human beings. even if they are naughty,
but probably they do not expect TO be
coddled and honored should they fall into
the hands of Pexoto. The bitterness
with which these civil wars are waged in
the South American republics is utterly
atrocious, and it is deplorable that with
all the horrible extremities resorted to
hoStilities should be prolonged to such an
a navy TO make it b ot for De Mello, unless
he is re-enforced. That will be found a
difficult matter in spite of the millions of
the monarchistS. Some complications
may arise with De Mello if Peixoto's ships
arrive flying the American flag. He knows
their mission and may NOT hesitate to a.
tack them. But the prOba bllity Is the
Brazilian flag will be hcisted after leaving
New York, and then De Mello will not in
volYe himself with neutralS,
An American visitor from Mexico says
there are signs of dissatisfaction with the
rule of President DiaZ 1t is said to be
autocratic and very firm in nipping revolu-
tions in the bud. Hence dissension is
fomenting, and an outbreak may soon
occur. 1t is just one of the merits of
DiaZ' Government that he does not palter
with insurrection. When it occurs he
makes those who are responsible feel that
they have made mistake. The country
is prosperiDg under his rule precisely to
the extent with which he main tains order
aud sustains the public credit.
Governor Algeld goes great deal too
far in asserting that there is not single
anarchist in the whole State of Illinois.
Ii is matter for himself whether he be-
lieves that the men he pardoDed are inno-
cent of the crime of which they were con-
victed He says they are innocent, and
he has pardoned them. But it is quite an
other thing to affirm that anarchism is alb
s0lutely dead in q State which contains a
very large proportion of European set
tiers. The true course for administrators
of the law to take is to be ready to repress
outrages, not to affirm that it is impossible
they can be committed.
Science has come to the assistance of the
police in detecting burglary. At Grand
Rapids, in Michigan. the till in store has
been repeatedly robbed. By adjusting a
camera in position, and connecting it by
electric apparatus with the till, a flash
light gave an instantaneous photograph of
the depredators. Three men are under
arrest. They have only to explain how they
came to be photographed in the store, and
they must find the explanation embar-
RAISING without the help OF a lawyer on
optics.
In variety of news, enterprise and in
genuity in getting hold of ii, and present
ing 1t in well-arraDged and enterprising
literary form, there are no journals In
Europe which are nearly so attractive or
exhaustive of all that has an interest for
mankind as the American newspaper. The
amount of news telegraDhing within the
United States, and from foreign countries
to the United States. in a single week is
greater than The news services of all
Europe in whole year. Such papers as
appear on Sunday, teeming with readable
articles on multitude of subjects, are
unknown elsewhere. Readers may test
this by comparisons with English, Austria
liam and German papers.
