Victor Larsen of the firm of Shaw
& Larsen, dealers in wood, met with
a serious accident yesterday while en-
gagged in moving the engine of his
portable sawmill at his roadway wood
yard. He accidentally touched the
steam gauge, and the noise of the es-
Gaping steam caused the horses TO
take fright and run off The animals
headed toward the Clatsop Mill, but
a sudden turn threw Larsen from his
position beside the boiler and he was
run over. The machine passed
over his body from the right shoulder
to the right thigh and then bruised
his foot. Larsen, who was conveyed
to his room over Carlson's place of
business, is man of remarkably
strong bones and great muscular force,
and will, the attending physician
thinks, recover quickly.

A LOCAL RAILROAD SYSTEM

Within year there has been marked
change in public opinion in respect to the
details of railroad competition. Until the
revival Of the clipper lines. and the sub
sequent organization of the North Ameri-

that relief from Southern Pacific exaction
could only come from competing trans
continental railroad. But at present pub
lie attention is directed to local system
of road so planned as to utilize the water
ways with the ocean routes as the base of
supplies. 1t is understood now that mer-
chandise can be brought to San Francisco
at lower cost by water than by any posi-.
BILE all-rail route. One of the merchants

SHIELDING OFFICIALS.

Office-holding in Brooklyn appears to
have reached very low stage. An Alder
man was recently acquitted on charge OF
combining to defraud the city. but the
jury seemed to regret its action afterward.
Now a Grand Jury has returned a pre-
sentiment strongly rejecting on Mayor
Body and the Common Council and re-
GREETING that it cannot indict them. The
reason Tor letting them escape is that the
District Attorney holds that the misde.
meanor OF which they are accused is not
lndlctaole. But there is a further ex-
planation which indicates that a back
door has been provided for officials who
are caught In wrongdoing. BY an amend
ment OF the Criminal Code officials cannot
oe indicted for misdemeanors in con-
nection with office, but must be tried
before Police Justices who owe their
appointments to them. This is a
benefcent provision for the crooked
which is said TO be absolutely nm
known In any other city or State. The
consequence is that boodling and corrup-
ton have free swing. as far as the terrors
of the law stand in the way. How many
crimes in other cities would have been un-
punished had a loophole Of the character

itself from ruin. San Francisco merchants
will soon be confined to small area of
territory surrounding the city unless they
can have interior freights at rates which
will enable them to undersell Eastern
cities. The goods can be brought to the
city at low enough rates, but the cost of
sending them two or three hundred miles
into the interior eats up all the profits.

THE PRESIDENTS WILD HORSES

Ex-President Harrison has been much
criticized for his little pleasantly about
President Cleveland's wild horses. The
repeal of the silver purchasing act. the
revision of the tariff, the notification of
the Geary law and other minor matters
depend, as Mr.. Harrison said, upon
whether or not the President will be able
to drive his wild horses" 1t is the fashion
in the East to rate Mr.. Cleveland abo We his
party. And yet of all the wild horses in
the party Mr.. Cleveland is the widest,
possibly excepting Henri Watterson. 1t is
he who forced the issue of tariff reform at
time when the protective policy was
building up the manufacturing industries
of the country both North and South; he
who declared for the gold standard; he
who gave the hint that disregard of the
Geary act would not be considered as a
neglect of duty; he who turned the
Hawaiian Islands aside when they had
come voluntarily within our reach, and he
who has shocked conservative members
of his own party by his reckless use Of
patronage to bring Congress to his way of
thinking. The country is in less danger
from wild horses than from wild driver.

FIRST PRINCIPLES.

Edward Atkinson has thus outlined the
principles upon which he proposes to re-
form the tariff:
First-TO make such adequate additions to
the free list as may do away with the present
disadvantages under which our domestic manu-
features and mechanic arts have so long suf-
fered In the relative cost OF their materials.
SecOnd-To establish such lesser rates OF
duty on finished products of voluntary use as to
increase rather than diminish revenue.
The loss Of revenue involved in putting
given list of articles in the free list can
be stated within a fraction. One has only
to ascertain what revenue was derived
from articles of this character the preced-
ing year. Whatever the amount might be
would be the loss. Mr.. Atkinson reports
the amount to be sacrificed at $1,000. 900.
The second of his first principles is to
reduce rates Of duty on finished prod
ucts so as to increase rather than dimn ish
revenues. Revenue on finished products
can only be increased under lower rates
by increased importations. To make up
the S27.000,000 on raw material which MIR.
A lkinsop proposes to sacrifice, and also
the loss of revenue incurred through lower
rates of duty on the same amount of
imports. importations must largely in
crease. Tariff experts have estimated the
increase necessary at S2OO0O0.O0O. The
increase Of imporIations by 5000. 900. 900
would mean decreased home production
of about the same amount. In brief, fin
ished goods to the amount of $500, OOO, 600
that in past years We have produced in
this country will under Mr.. Atkinson's
tariff be produced abroad. The prospect
is one neither employers nor employees
can contemnlate Without annre hen sion

BRITAIN'S FOOD SUPPLY.

Some exceedingly interesting facts on
England's wheat and -four supply were re-
Gently given in the House of Lords by
Lord Playfar. scientist and statesman
very well known IN America, which he
frequently visits. His statement was
elected by an absurd proposition that the
English Government should build gran
aries in the United Kingdom and become
spectators in wheat and -four to the tune
of 500. 100000 year, in order to preserve
Britishers from conjectural starvation
should war blockade the ports. Lord Win
chelsea's proposal was to maintain sup
ply for six months, or 104.000.000 bushels,
and he gravely suggested that tax Of one
smiling per quarter should be placed on
foreign corn TO provide S4.750.000 year
interest on the capital investment of
500, 100000. It was this hereditary states
mans idea that the British Isles never
have more than fortnight's supply
of cereal food ahead. Lord Playfair,
however, showed that through the opera
ton of private dealing in the open markets
the supply is really as great as that pro-
posed. In September, after the harvest.
the total domestic supply Is over Ga, 000,000
bushels. the foreign supply In ports is
$4,000, 900 bushsls and the foreign on the
way is 100000 bushels-equivalent to a
supply for seven months. The average
supply in March is equal to five and half
months in advance of consumption. June
gives the lowest supply. namely, three and
quarter months. but with bakers and
millers' stores added it is really four and a
half months ahead of consumption, and
the harvest is at hand.
Lord Playfair pooh-poohed the effect OF
war. rapid as it is. on the grain gravitation
toward England. When the horizon is
bellicose there would be rush to get into
the market. The total foreign supply is
only 100000 tons, and 100000 tons of
shipping would be available in an emer-
geDcy for transportation. If any of the
European powers attempted a blockade
they would have to reckon with the United
States, which has more trade with Eng
land than all other countries together in
food products. As to a Government de-
scendlng into the bull and bear pit to deal
in wheat, it is plain that such large trans
actions by one party constantly keeping
up six mon this stock would be disastrous
in every direction. The Government
