NONE SO BLIND.

The Colusa sam enters plea in behalf
of the Southern Pacific on the ground th at
it mploys several thousand men, and that
any Gripping of it's finances disturbs all
these. as well as the industries that supply
all these laborng men. The Sun says:
1t is not the part of a Congressman from this
State TO assume the burden Of any proceedings
against that corporation in which Maine is as
much interested as California. The money 1t
gets from the Government is being spent in i'm
provements In California, in paying the wages
of thousands of men in California and none of
it is spent in Maine or Massachusetts.
The Southern Pacific carries on a bust
ness which requires the services of many
thousand men. The railroad business is
one that must be conducted by somebody.
and whoever conducts it would have 70
employ as many thousands of men as are
now employed. 1t is the business that
pays the men, not the railroad managers.
The latter are agents of the people, to be
sustained as long as they perform their du-
ties faithfully and no longer. There is no
fight against the Southern Pacific Com
paDy as such; the fight is against its
methods. Its transportation rates are IN
necessarily high. The rule of charging all
the traffic will bear reduces the producer
to the level of a worker for hire who
stands the losses but njOys none of the
profits of business. A portion of the
money that is taken out of producers in
excess of the costof service is used in pay
ing the interest on bonds issued in excess
of the cost of the road-bonds which rep
resent the profit of construction and con-
stitute the private fortunes of the South
ern Pacific owners. A great deal of the
money derived from this excess of
charges has been used TO control political
conventions, to corrupt Legislatures and
to procure judicial decisions adverse to the
interests of the people. Our intelligent
Colusa contemporary prefers not to under
stand the cause of the amino sity it per-
ceives to exist against the Southern Pacific
Company.

A MILD BOMBSHELL.

Colonel A. L. CoHger, we'll known Ohio
politician, apparently desires to play the
part in the Republican party that Colonel
Watterson is playing in the Democratic
party. Colonel Conger has discovered that
the Republican party as party is not in
favor OF the Mckinley tariff. He AYERS that
Mckinley could not carry a single State in
the Union with the Mckinley law as an
issue in 1896. In the absence of other speci-
fed causes for this change of front on the
part of Colonel Conger we find itin the state
ment that Mckinley has cast aside the
men who aided him in his earlier contests.
Not only has Mckinley cast old friends
aside, but he has taken up with new ones
This of course is political crime. Bar
nacles should not be made to loosen their
hold. When small politician once gets a
grip on one large enough to carry him
along the small fellow should be allowed
to hold on. To compel him to let go is to
cast him into political oblivion. II is sin
gular. and vet perhaps not unnatural. that
the change Mr.. Mckinley is alleged TO
have made among his friends has caused a
change in Colonel Conger's tariff views
The inconsistencies of protection have just
presented themselves foreibly to the
colonel's mind. he finds that the great
army of agricultural laborers have to work
for 50 % day, and that there are
skilled workmen in the protected indus
tries who earn from $40 to $40 per day.
From SO to $50 per day Colonel Conger
regards as un-American. 1t must be ad-
mitted that such wages, if they ever
existed, have rapidly been becoming un-
American since the affairs of the country
have been put into the hands of free
traders. Colonel Conger should know,
and probably does know, that there is no
substantial difference between wages in
the directly protected Industries and wages
in the so-called unprotected industries.
Where there is a seeming difference it will
be found to be based upon some superior
attainment on the part of those receiving
the highest wages. Statistics have recently
been published from free-trade sources
showing that the so-called unprotected in
dustres paid little better wages than the
directly protected industries. The object
Of compiling these statistics doubtless was
to show that protection does not protect.
But Colonel CoDger claims that protection
protects too much.
LIZ is too early to determine whether or
not Mckinley is the strongest aspirant for
the Presidency in the Republican party.
But nothing is more certain than that Nc
Kinley will not be set aside on account of
bis tariff views. There has never been a
time when the principle upon which the
Mckinley tariff is founded was so popular
as now. The threat to repeal that tariff
has made friends of opponents. People
did not know how much good it was doing
until the danger came of losing it.

POISONS In AIR AND WATER.

The Very Fact that They Are Unseen and
unsupported Makes Them the More Dam
gerOus.
NEARLY everybody is in great danger just at
this time"
The speaker was one of the leading physi.
clans in New York.
.sWith the malaria in the air and the danger
in the water" he continued. "people need TO
exercise the greatest caution ana care. The
trouble with these things is that they come
unawares and are often unsupported. The
germs of malaria are Drawn in by every breath,
The seeds OF disease are spread by each swallow
of water"
The doctor looked thoughtful for moment,
and then continued: There Is but one way 10
prevent these dangers and that Is to be watch
full. Instead of drinking iced water and other
things ali the while, and in place of permitting
hot and foul air TO spread malaria IN the sys-
tenn, people should be watchful ana cnecK these
things on the start"
There is but one way that this can be done,
and that is by the use of some pure slim uianJ
constantly or when the slightest feeling OF SICK
ness appears. The only preparation which mas
ever been known to certainly counteract THESE
whiskey, Duffy's Pure Malt. 1t has been used
by the public of America for over twenty years,
and has proven It's SURPRISING merits only Dy
what il has accomplished.
If men and women would counterfeit the
deadly germs in the water at this season OF the
year by mixing Duffy's Pure alt with II, they
need nave little fear of low feverS or malaria.
only Duffy's Pure Malt Whiskey that will ac-
complish this. and that however much drug
giSts or grocers may say TO the contrary, II
alone can be depended upon.

WHAT THE BONDING SCHEME
MEANS.

The bonding bill which the Southern
Pacific Company hopes to push through
Congress is a pretty serious matter for
California. The company proposes to pay
3 per cent in terest on their debt, amount
ing to about S60,0OO,0O0 The annual in
terest would amount to S1,600O00. There
will be yearly payments TO the sinking
fund, commencing perhaps at per cent
and increasing as the payments on accouat
Of interest decrease. In this way the pay
ments required of the Southern Pacific
would average about 100000 year.
Now. while it is not probable that the
company would fulfill its part Of the con-
tract, it may be considered certain that it
would establish rates on the assumption
that the debt had to be paid. There is no
other way By which the Southern Pacific
could get the money in case the Govern
ment should fail to hold them to the con-
tract. The proposed funding bill there
fore means 100000 year added to the
present charges of the Southern Pacific
system. Nearly the whole burden would
be thrown upon California, for the reason
that it is only in this State that charges
are not regulated by competition. The
Government therefore proposes in this
funding scheme to collect the debt due it
by the Southern Pacific Company from the
industries of California. This is matter
that especially affects the interior of
this State. San Francisco may get
goods by the Panama or Cape Horn
routes, but it can only ship goods
TO the interior over the Southern
Pacific system. California should resist
this proposition of the Government to col
lect its debt at our expense. The attention
of Congress should be called to the fact
that there is property IN sight that may be
levied upon under the system of laws
that apply to ordinary insolvents. The
mortgage on the Central Pacific may De
foreclosed, and il the debt is not satisfied
from this source there is the 500. O0O, 900,
more or less, that has drifted from the in
solvent roads TO the pockets of the owners
and managers of the Central Pacilc.
The Republican State convention cannon
afford to go before the people on plat
form that does not squarely condemn the
funding proposition. It is a matter OF
S3,OOO.0O0 ayear or so TO our industries. This
is a sum equal to the necessary expenses OF
the State Government. The passage OF
the funding bill will therefore impose a
double tax, one not the less burdensome
because it will be paid in the form O!
freight bills instead of lax bills. Congress
should bear in mind that it is not through
California legislation that the debt has
been allowed to accumulate. 1t was Con-
gress which accepted second mortgage
bonds instead Of first, and it was Federal
court which released the company from an
obligation to pay interest until its debt
matured. California aided the railroad
directly, and has paid its contributions
as they became due. 1t is the Federal
power that has been remiss, and cOnse-
Quently it is the Federal power that should
now bring the delinQuents to an account
ing. California objects to proposition TO
transfer the debt to her shoulders.

AN INFORMAL VOTE PROPOSED.

II is expected that the New York con-
stitutional convention will strike out the
word male" and submit to the people the
question whether the Objectionable word
shall stay out. A good many delegates
viii vote for submission who would vote
against the clause in the constitution so
amended. All the constitutional conven-
ton can do is to say whether the question
of woman suffrage shall be voted on by the
present electorate. There has been some
talk in the convention of providing for an
informal vote by women on the question.
So many men hold their opinion on this
question subject to the desires of women
that an informal womap's vote would rem
der a subsequent male vote mere matter
of form. Very few men would vote
against woman suffrage after majority
of women had declared themselves in
favor of it. Should a provision be made
for vote by women care should be taken
that the affirmative vote should hold a
reasonable proportion to all who might
vote. Otherwise a very small minority OF

SERMONS NEEDED TO-DAY.
Presbyterian Ministers Discuss the
Subject ThoughtfuIIY.

Rev. j. nj. Jenkins, who recently al
rived from Melbourne, Australia, where
he had been pastor of church for nine
years, was present at the meeting OF the
Presbyterian Ministerial Union in the
home of the Occidental Missionary Board
yesterday morning. He was introduced as
visitor.
Mr.. Jenkins is native of Great Britain,
but graduated from the Lane Theological
Seminary at Cincinnati, and began his
mi nistry in this country, to which be now
returns with the design of making it his
permanent residence.
The president of the union, Rev. II. G..
Minton. made his appearance again, after
an absence of several weeks as a commits
sioner to the Presbyterian General Assem-
bly,, which met last month at Saratoga
n. Y. Rev. j. c. Smith, the pastor of
Trinity Presbyterian Church. who &C
companied DR.. Minton on his Eastern trip,
was also present.
Rev. ID. Hanson Irwin opened the dis
cussiOn upon "fhe Elements Important 10
tie Sermon of Our Day" He thought that
preaching should be practical and calcu-
lated 10 help men in their earthly life as
we'll as to teach them the way of eternal
life. He also thought that it should
stimulate the missionary spirit and pro-
mote activity in mission work.
Revs. Smith, Rhoda. Scott, Hemphill,
Bevier. Fraser. Brock. Day. Munro. Perry.
Minton, jenkins, Anderson, Woodwork
and Elder George C.. Mcconnell spoke
upon the subject, their views agreeing upon
the same points, the divergence being
only in regard to matters of miner i'm
portance.
The sermons needed to-day are such as
those that have always been needed.
While they should have basis of doc
trinal truth they should be practical. and
their fruit be made manifest in the lives of
the hearers.
Professor Day would have special atten-
ton given to some of the social ques-
tiOns OF the day, but the best preaching is
that which takes hold of the conscience.
and drives one to action Of the proper
kind.
Elder Mcconnell would like to see more
attention given in the pulpit TO the cryin g
evils OF the day. He believes it would be
a good thing if ministers call attention
more than they 90 TO the danger and the
demOraliZing effect of the prevalent and
popular social evils, such as wine-drink-
ing, card-playiDg, dancing and theater-
going. He thinks the pulpit is too lax in
regar to these things. and that more ag-
gressiyeness with reference to them should
be shown.
The most of the time next Monday
morning will be devoted to hearing the
commissioners to the General Ascent bly,
from the four presby teries around the bay.
