The experiments OF Col. Smoilon, OF
the Russian Army, with falcons as
carriers of dispatches have proved
successful, and the Russian Army
hereafter will employ them in prefer
ence to the ordinary "homing" birds.
The Colonel has found that the falcon
can carry 1640 grams without dimin-
ishing its rate of speed, which is con-
siderably greater than that of the pig
con. The falcons, he says, are less
likely to fall prey to other birds, as
they are better fighters than the pig
cons. 1t is on record, according to
the officer, that a falcon once few

THE NEEDS OF THE POOR.

The deacons Of a prominent New York
church voted this year to dispense with
Christmas greens and to give the money
the green's would cost to the poor. While
the motive which suggested this sacrifice
OF beauty is good. the act is nevertheless
III considered. Gathering green's is in
itself means Of living. Every church or
private family which dispenses with this
natural adornment contributes to the dis
tress which it prop ses to relieve with n
gift. The need of the poor is work at a
fair rate of compensation. Ii there is one
able member of family it is better to
supply the wants Of that family through
orders for such work as the able member
can do than to send round the charity
wagon. The number of people who viii
deny themselves things which they need or
beat down prices when work is ordered

ingly increased is larger than most people
think. The best relief for the poor lies in
giving them work at living wages.

DEFECTS IN THE WILSON BILL

Senator Mcpherson of New Jersey Is re-
ported as saying that the Wilson tariff bill
represents more completely the protection
principle in tariff legislation than any bill
which has ever been made by any Con-
gress in this country. Having made this
statement the Senator asks how it can be
that the present bill frightens the indus
tries of the country.
At the first glance the New Jersey Sena-
tors question seems to be poser. A
thoroughly protective tariff bill should not
disturb the industries of the country. But
little examination shows that the Sena-
tors premises were not correct. The Will
son tariff bill does not represent the pro-
tective tariff in legislation. Mr.. McPher-
son thought that it did because it protects
certain industries in which his constitu-
ents are engaged. He is like the free
trade raisin-grower of California. who
wants protection for raisins and free trad 9
for all other products. Southern tariff
thinkers find 20 per cent duty on rice and
are content. 1t is nothing to them that
the whole line of Northern agricultural
products is exposed to free-trade competi-
ton, since by a combination. which had
the force of numbers if nothing else, they
had covered one OF their own products.
the wool-grower, who needs protection as
much as the rice-grower, is utterly neg
lected. There is not even the pretense Of
a small ad valorem tariff en- raw wool.
protective tariff makes protection uni
form under given conditions. Its aim is to
cover the difference in the cost of produc-
ton in this and in any foreign country.
1t does not give free trade to the producer
OF raw material and protection to the
manufacturer unless it can be shown that
the producer of raw material would not be
benefited by protection. The labor en-
gagged in the production of raw material is
as fairly entitled to protection as the Dor
in the manufacture OF such material. The
Southern tarlff-tinkers combined on the
assertion that rice cannot be produced in
this country without protection. But they
would not apply the principle to wool that
they applied 20 rice.

The annual meeting of the Eureka

this Occas ion may be furnished by Con-
stantinople. IL appears that the recen
visit OF the Russian naval officers to Paris
was intended as a prelude to a Russian
demonstration in the Bosphorus. This is
al open secret at Constantinople, where
panic prevails, and the probable assas-
siDation OF the Sultan is freely predicted.
Russia proposes, it is said, to unite her
Black Sea feet with her Mediterranean
fleet by sending the former through the
Dardanelles in violation of the treaties.
When she last uttered this threat England
moved an army corps to Cyprus and a
fleet to Tenedos. while the Turks bestrred
themselves to defend Constanlinople. Now
England is in no condition 10 go to war in
the Mediterranean. France has ten first
class battleshils at Toulon and Carthage (;
II they should join the eleven battleships
which the combined Russian fl ct would
contain the squadron would be far stronger
than any naval force which Great Britain
could assemble in the Mediterranean.
Constan tinople itself is defenseless. The
forts would not survive a bonn bardEent of
half an hour with modern guns, and the
Turkish fleet is lying within the inner
horn without coal or modern weapons of
war.
There may be no purpose on the part of
Russia to throw this frebrand among the
combuslibles of Europe. But If she did
everything is ready for war. There is a
chance that Mr.. Gladstone would try to
keep England out of it and to leave Turkey
to her fate. But Germany would under
stand that junction of the Russian and
French fleets in the Mediterranean meant
a renewal of the Franco German war, and
young William would act accordingly. 1t
is significant that at such a crisis Signor
Crispi, Bismarck's bosom friend. should
have been invited by King Humbert to
form the Ministry which Zanardelli has
been unable to constitute.

CHRISTMAS SEASON.

Ii there were any unknown land from
which an enlightened person could come,
and if the week before Christmas should
be chosen for a visit, the stranger would
throw up his hands and exclaim: what
fools" What is all this excitement about -?
Why does man at this particular time
give his wife money to buy something for
himself? Why do young men of slender
income cease to call on their lady friends a
month before Christmas? Why does the
poor man with large family wish that he
might lose one month of bis life without
depriving wife and little ones of the little
means Of enjoyment be can afford them ?
Why do mothers and daughters, sisters,
cousins and aunts buy something for each
other at this particular season? Why do
women rush about frantically, perplexed,
anxious and disappointed in pursuit of
bargains that will help out a somewhat
slender purse? The answer to these
questions will be found in the home
picture that will be presented this day.
The worry is over. If very few have done
exactly what they would like to have done,
everybody is delighted with what has been
done. The children, who are the principal
benefciaTies Of this incomprehensible
Christmas habit. do not count cost in their
estimation of presents. The fact of being
given something Is enough for them.
Older people generally find that they are
cut about all the money they have in
vested, but when they see what pleasure
the young people derive from it they hold
the money we'll expended. A pleasant
feature Of the Christmas season is con-
sIderatiOns given TO the poor. Purses open
at this season which are Theoretically
sealed Oh other days. No man who is
himself above want sits down to his
Christmas dinner with clear conscience
unless he has contributed to the good cheer
of the season. There is one thing of
which we may be certain-bolidays may
60 aud other holidays may come, but
Christmas will always be with us. THE
CALL wishes its hundred thousand readers
q merry Christmas.

PEACE OR WARP

ing all over Europe. There are 100. 900
more men under arms than there were las

A ROUGH BAR.

New York Loses a Mast.

The monotony attached to the stranded
steamer City of New York was broken
yesterday with the intelligence brought
in by arriving steamers that her mizzen
mast had gone by the board and that a
good portion of her stern had been carried
away during the night by rough seas. No
further damage was infii"ted during the
day so far as could be observed from Point
Lobos, but it may be set down as a GER

AT THE ART INSTITUTE.
An Organ Recital Part of the Pro-
gramme Yesterday Afternoon.


The organ recital and loan exhibition
drew number of people to the Mark Hop
kins Institute of Art yesterday in spite OF
the disagreeable weather. But, as one
visitor remarked. "Why shouldn't it?"
Surely no better or pleasanter way of
passing the afternoon could be found by
people who have a love for pictures and
music.
There was no regular programme, but
Jacob Strauss played a number of selec-
tons on the organ that could not help but
afford pleasure o all who heard him. The
music filled the house so that a person
could sit in any of the rooms ia front of
the work OF some master of painting and
hear the grand strains of some master of
music.
The pictures continue to attract atten-
tion. and true art lovers realize that they
may not soon again have the pleasure of
seeing so fine a collection.
Some people who visit the exhibition
say that they will pass certain pictures
without really seeing them. and it is not
until they have looked at them several
times that they grasp the idea of the art
ist so as to be able to appreciate and I'M
derstand the wOrk. This is of course nat
ural. and there are very few people who
know that to appreciate the modern ro-
mantle school of painting they must be
thoroughly in sympathy with the artist.
When they have accomplished this they
will wonder why they ever went by GER
tain masterpieces without stopping in adj
miration.
The present exhibition is doing great
work in the education OF the people up to
a proper appreciation of high art and
many who have visited it have seen a mas
terpiece for the first time in their lives.

NEW WARShiPS.

II Is pretty generally admitted that
Congress will not appropriate any money
for the construction of new warships. 1t
is not that we have warships enough, but
that there is no money to build more with.
The nation is going to close down its mills.
The thousands of men who have found
employment in public and private ship
yards on waT-veSsels will be added to the
already large array of the unemployed.
The folly of such course is apparent.
Without assuming that the nation is re-
CURED to furnish work for the unemployed,
il may fairly be expected to do its part to
keep the wheels of industry in motion.
Private establishments make some pro-
visions to carry their employees through a
season of industrial depression. But the
Government which al the worst is q little
short of ready money proposes to turn its
employees adrft. The Government is not
laboring under an apprehension of over
supplying the demand. 1t is admitted
that new warships should be built, but
Congress thinks it better TO do work Of this
kind when all other industries are active.
There is no more certain or surer way 10
prolong an industrial depression than to
reduce ordinary expendi lures.
