LET THE PEOPLE SPEAK.

A correspondent directs attention to the
statement that the Chinese Six Companies
have collected S500.00O from their people
to carry on the fight against the Chinese
registration act and asks what they propose
to do with it. He also wants to know if
there is any connection between the col
lection of this large sum of money and the
outburst of pulpit enthusiasm in favor of
the Chinese. In conclusion our correspond
ent wants to know if the old adage that
money makes the mare go" applies to
the pulpit as we'll as to other things.
THE CALL admits its inability to answer
all these questions as one who speaks from
authority. We do not know how the Six
Companies propose to expend this fund.
Very likely some of it will be used TO in
fluence public opinion. Probably the most
effective agencies in that direction in tn at
work will be employed. The Chinese ex-
clusion law was enforced almost without a
protest. 1t was much harder on the
Chinese than the registration law, as it
turned from American ports Chinese who
held certificates on their face permitting 9
them to land. But there was no such out
burst against the act as there is at present
against the registration act. There seems,
therefore, to be certain connection be-
tween this S5O0.0O0 Chinese fund and the
indignant denunciation of the registration
act we hear on every side. These denun-
Citations should not be allowed to pass un-
noticed. There is an imperative necessity
for a popular expression on the part of
the people. We do not want pestilent
ribald oratory, but a calm earnest state
ment of the American side of the case.
A cause NAV be prejudiced by the intem-
perance of its advocates. American la Dor
should speak and speak with dignity.
1t should speak in language and in a
tone to command respect. 1t is useless
to deny the power of the press
writing for the repeal of the act. While
a vast majority of thoughtful men are on
the American side, there are wealth and
ability on the Chinese side. The Chinese
have the advantage in the fact that the
issue is but imperiectly understood in the
great centers of American population. So
much the more reason why from the point
most directly threatened by the Chinese
invasion a protest should go out that
thoughtful people in the East will compre-
hand

M. Benjamin Constant says he prefers
painting American women rather than
those of any other nationality. They have
more faith in the artist than the Parisians
possess, and allow him to pose them and
surround them as he thinks best.

A NEW YORK sA1PLE.

The most distinctive feature of the New
York Mail and Express is the reprint each
day of a verse from the Bible. On the
day after the Supreme Court declared the
Chinese restriction act to be constitutional,
the selection was as follows:
BEHOLD, THOU HAST DRIVEN NE OUT THIS
DAY FROM THE FACE OF THE EARTH; AND
FROM THY FACE SHALL l BE HID; AND
SHALL BEA FUGITIVE AND A VAGABoND IN
THE EARTH.
The application of this verse to the oc-
casion is best inferred in the light of a
vivid Imagination. The banishment of a
person from the United States ran hardly
be compared to banishment from the face
of the earth. The United States has been
described as the workingman's paradise {:
but there are other countries in which an
industrious and frugal workngman NAV
get something out of life. 1t can hardly
be said either that the deported Chinese
laborer is fugitive and vagabond. He
may be, and q ften is. but there is chance
for him not to be. In the editorial of
which this Scriptural verse may be con-
sdered as a pictorial Illustration, ground is
taken that the registration is constitutional
but unjust. 1t is unjust. the New York
journal says, In the fat that it affects
Chinese who had resided in The country
sufficiently long to establish business re-
lations and acquire property rights. The
Mail and Express does not apparently
realize that all the law required of Chinese
was that thev go through the form of
registration, very much as white men do
as a condition of voting.

BETWEEN TWO CITIES.

The newspapers of the San Joaquin Val
ley are apparently playing Los Angeles
against San Francisco, at least such is the
squint of an article in the Visalia Times:
just now an effort is being made TO arouse
the business men of San Francisco to he i'm
portance OF subscribing ST 100000 toward
building road from Stockton TO Bakersfield.
II is 10 be hoped that the money will be for h.
abandon the scheme then we must look to Los
oils is filled with enterprisiug and far-sighted
business men, and it would be an easy matter
10 get them interested In a proposi on 10 build
q road, say from Fresno 10 Los Angeles.
1t is not apparent yet that San Fran
cisco needs the stimulus suggested in this
threat From all accounts the subscrip-
tion books to the San Joaquin Valley road
are filling up with remarkable rapidity
The rich men of the valley will be ex-
peeted TO subscribe to enough stock to
interest them in the enterprise, but the
present prospects are that the bulk OF the
stock will be taken in San Francisco. 1t is
not probable that our Visaia friend ex-
poets that railroad between Fresno and
Los Angeles will do the work of railroad
between Bakersfield and Stockton and
thence by water 10 the bay. If Santa
Monica is ever made into a port il will be
owned by the Southern Pacific. The fact
that the Southern Pacific has not exclusive
control of San Pedro is the reason why MIR.

ADVANCES IN ELECTRICITY.

Heretofore America has taken pride in
the feeling that in the mechanical arplica-
tions of electricity we are far ahead of the
world. We have undou btedly far greater
length of electric railroads, as also of ordi-
nary railroads, than all the rest of the
world put together. and we also excel in
the introduction and expansion OF electric
lighting. Small towns far out on the
prairies OF Iowa, Illinois or Missouri have
shown more enterprise in setting up in
stallatlons than large cities in Europe, and
the utilization of the incandescent light in
stores far exceeds the efforts made in the
gayest and busiest quarters of foreign
cities. But with all our energy and eager
ness to test new methods, are we really
progressing in the right way to attain
the best results? Professor Silvanus p.
Thompson, an eminent authority on me-
chanics and electricity, Institutes some
comparisons which show that improve
ments are possible. We may not accept
all he says as incontrovertible, but we at
least can ponder his statements.
The sub-soil electric road, about three
miles in length, between the City and
South London is, the professor states.

where we have literally thousands of
lines. 1t is a solidly constructed railway,
with its power plant massive and simple.
In lighting we are rrone to subdivision,
and the employment of many engines of
any kind, numerous small dynamos not
adapted to their engines, and waste of
energy through too much belling and
shafting from floor TO floor. The English
use few dynamos. large and specially
built and in general each is driven by
being coupled to the crank shaft of Its own
special high-speed engine. Belts and pul-
leys are avoided as far as possible. Germany
uses large, slow-speed multipolar dyna-
mos, with large slow-speed engines. This
is certainly in contrast with numbers of
stations in the United States. In st.
Louis a station, which is said to be the
largest in the world. has sixty-five dyna-
mos on the third floor, driven by shafts,
puileys and bolts on the second floor, and
the engines. which Sc. all in motion, are
on the ground floor. Professor Thompson
says the English engineer aims at having
all his dynamos feed into a pair of omni-
bus bars, from which the feeder mains
branch off into the distribution circuits,

SOME FACTS ABOUT CARDS.

Emblems of Astronomical Time.
81 will give you," said Mr.. Richmond in
the Chicago Tribune. some facts about
cards which are not generally known. From
the time when in ancient Egypt they were
painted on thin sheets OF ivory. engravers
and printers ever since have reproduced
them exactly. Wondering tribes of gypsies
have the secrets of cards as emblems of
planetary motion, time, ETC., but without
the higher knowledge of why they have
these wonderful properties. But in this old
yet ever new religion of the stars there is
abundant evidence to show that cards
were used by Egyptian priests as sacred en-
blems of astronomical time and eombina-
ti0ns of the solar system. Astronomy was
the basis of the religion OF the gytlans.
and cards were mathematlcaiiy constructed
and had symbolcal reference TO time, PLAN
etary motion and the occult calculations
and mysteries of the Magi. What X. y and
