A CHOICE BETWEEN EVILS.

The statement that Buckley is working
back TO his old place at the head of the
Democratic party does not inspire so
much dread as was expected. Ruekleyism
is an admitted evil, but all evils are COM
paratiye. There are greater evils and
lesser evils, and good many Republicans
are in doubt now as 10 Buckleyism's
proper rank as an evil. The one thing
that people think they know is that cer-
tain so-called bosses in the two parties are
presenting the people with a choice of
evils. There will be the Republican boss
ticket and the Democratic boss ticket, and
a free people will be allowed to choose be-
tween the two. The Offices are auctioned
off in advance, with an assured certainty
that when a Republican candidate fails a
Democratic candidate will succeed. The
spoils will be kept iD the family. The
voters are walled In between two hedge
rows which afford no seeming chance of
escape. The CALL has already referred
TO the defeat of Justice de Haven in the
Republican convention as an error of
judgment. The error was the result OF
overcOnfidence. 1t was assumed that the
Republican majority would be so large
this year that the few thousand voters
who might drop the ticket in consequence
OF display of boss authority could be
spared. Machine Republicans have even
been so daft as to assert that In the face
of the record that the Democratic party
has made in Washington a Republican
could not be driven out of the party this
year. The proposition TO nominate JUS
tice de Haven by petition affords little
relief. 1t gives the indignant voter
chance. He can al least show the bosses
that there is limit to their power. But a
concentration of force upon a single point
does not disable the machine. Nothing
short of disposition on the part of voters
to take the business of nominating both
State and municipal tickets out of the
hands of men who obtain power by bull
doing decent citizens at the primaries
will prevent repetition of the scenes of
the recent Sacramento convention. As
long as bossism pays it will be the !. !ize of
men without honor or conscencs, who
gain through trick or promise the power
to rule leaders of public thought off the
political track.

PASSENGER AND MAIL BLOCKADE

The refusal of the Southern Pacific
officials to allow passengers or mails to
leave the city for other than purely local
points because Mr.. Pullman and his en-
ployes have fallen out will greatly incon-
venience the public. The Southern Pacific
has nothing to do with Pullman and his
controversy with his employees. a string
of Pullman cars is not necessarily part of
a passenger train. The trains might run
without hauling single sleeping-car or
drawing-room car. To say that they shall
not be run unless Pullman cars are at
tached and an extra charge paid for their
use is an exasperating denial of accommo-
dation.
1t is difficult to see how the controversy
between Pullman and his men will end.
But it ought to culminate in State laws, or
in the case of interstate travel in Federal
statute, requiring railroads to run sleeping
cars and drawing-room cars on all the
trains which are used by first-class passen-
gers. Pullman is an excrescence In the
business. He is carmaker in Illinois,
and it is enough for him to build and sell
cars to companies which want them. He
is utterly out of place when he undertakes
to intervene in the passenger business of
the country and to levy toll on it,
AS to the attempt of the Southern Pacific
to cut off intercourse between this coast
and the East because of Pullman's quar-
rels with his men, it is assuming a right to
Inconvenience the best interests of the
whole country to an extent the railroad
officials will hardly venture to exercise for
any length of time.

THE FRENCH ELECTION.

The quiet dignity with which the French
Chambers elected their new President and
the calmness with which the people re-
ceived the news are proofs that France is
making progress in practical politics.
There was sobriety about the whole Dusi-
ness which goes 10 show that France has
emerged from The hysterical Stage and that
the conduct of public affairs is going here
after to be governed by common-sense and
not heroics. Everything was done in a
business-like way; the Monar:hists and
ClericalS, radicals and socialists had every
facility for voting for their respective
favorites, and when cranks tried to dis
turb the counting of the votes by noisy
demonstrations they were simply ignored.
Both NJ. Challemel LacOur and NJ.
Casimir-Perer appeared to know their
business, and as to the people at large
they seem to have cot over their propensity
to appeal from the decision of the Cham
Ders to the street mobS.
The evil against which French Govern
menEs have to contend is the twin spirits
of militaIiSm and clericaiism. The former
is kept alive by the rancorOus desire of a
large body of Frenchmen to recover Alsace
and Lorraine; the latter Is a legacy from
the third empire, and can only be over
come by long course Of education in the
rural districts. But the former is not easily
handled. If NJ. CasImr-Perier should
inaugurate his term of office with a
suggestion of disarmament such as
was proposed the other day by Sign0r
Crispi at Rome, be would lay France
under obligation, but he would raise
against him the undying hostility OF the
irreconcilables, who look upon war with
Germany as foTegone conclusion sooner
or later 1t is a question whether any
ministry would live with such a pro-
grsmme. And yet, If the present prepara-
tiOns for wars continue, larger prOpor-
ton of Frances vital energy than the
republic can spare will be invested in an
unproductive direction. The United States
have a population little less than twice
that of France; but if we had nalf mil
lion of men under arms with the flag, and
million more under training ready to
turn out at the trumpet call. it is a Ques-
ton whether the country could endure
such a diversion of its productive force
from useful pursuits. The people would
demand war or peace-one or the other.
The world really knows nothing of NJ.
Casimer-Perier's character or purposes.
He is clear-headed; be is brave; he is
rich; ne is honest; he is Of high family;
he appears to be stalwart republican of
the moderate stripe. But all this does not
enlighten us as to his probable attitude in
the event of a resolution in the Chamber
looking to disarmament; Or on the other
hand, of some overt act giving practical
effect to the Franco-RuSsian treaty.

DANGERS OF DRESS.

How Men and Women Run Great Risks Dur
ing the Summer in the Way They Are
Clothed.
Few people think at this time Of the year OF
the great importance OF dress.
. In the winter people dress warmly because
they know it is a necessity but in the summer,
when II is hot, they go TO the other extreme
and even dress too lightly. Hot weather causes
people to use light clothing; but suddenly the
wind changes, the air becomes chilly, ana a
cold is pretty certain to be the result
Now, where most people make mistake IS
in not guarding against these sudden changes
quickly and in time. Any man or woman who
has on a light SUIT of clothing and feels a
change which brings chill should at once
counteract the chill This can only be done by
the use of some pure stimulant, not gingers or
hot drinks, but a pure medicinal whisky that
will refresh the system. canse tile blood 10 cir
eulate, ana bring about immediate reaction.
There Is but one medicinal whisky that VIII do
this and that is Duny's Pure Malt. IL has for
twenty years accomplished what has never
been known before in cOunteractlng the nrst
symptoms of sudden colds and preventing the
possibility or pneumonia, feveEs and all the
distressing complaints which follow any cold.
1t should be remembered, however, that
Duffy's Pure Malt is the only whisky which VIII

dealers may talk to the contrary, 1t alone
should be taken.

THE RAILROAD TIE-UP.

= "A railroad company which refuses to
move trains because under certain exist
ing conditions a certain kind of car cannot
be attached TO the train should be held to
a strict accounting. 1t should be made to
pay for every dollar lost by ifs failure to
do what It can do. The excuse OF the
Southern Pacific people for tying up trains
because a strike ties up Pullman cars
is pitiful manifestation of inability to
comprehend the relation a transportation
company bears to the public. Because
a certain proportion of the passengers
want the luxury Of Pullman the South
ern Pacific says that no other people
shall travel. II does not carry the mail
because it does not run passenger
trains, and does not run passenger trains
because it cannot ran Pullman cars. The
advocates of paternalism have never given
as good reasons why the Government
should take charge of the transportation
service as the railroad companies are now
giving. The Government has to contract
with these companies for the transporta-
ton OF the mails, and finds itself unable to
keep its contract with the people because
the railroad managers cannot run a certain
fashion of car. The influence of the
travelling public will. it is assumed, turn
the tide of public opinion against the
strikers. This is no time or place to dis
euss the wisdom or unwisdom of strikes.
The immediate question is if :ransporta-
tion company which has obtained especial
privileges under promise to do certain
work for the people shall be relieved from
the performance of its part of the contract
when in its opinion conditions are such
that it will be more profitable to lie idle
than to work. When snowstorms or floods
cause breaks in the road people accept the
inevitable. No company is asked to per-
form miracles. But at present the road is
open and the employees of the road are
ready to perform all kinds of work except
one which is not essential to travel. But
the lords of transportation tie up these
trains and declare their inten ton to hold
them Inactive until men can be found who
will handle Pullman cars. 1t is time to
determine if there is such a thing as Gov
ernment in the United States.

THINGS EXEMPT FROM TAXA.
TON.

g. A correspondent holds that the sppar-
ent impOssiblity of just enumeration of
personal property constitutes sufficient
reason why personal property should be
exempt from taxation and the needed rev.
eDue derived from tax on the full rental
value of land. Our correspondent adds !:
Exempt personal property and improve
ments which are the product of labor
should not be taxed" 1t seems in order
to suggest to thiscorrespondent that if the
product of labor is exempted from taxation
. there will not be much left for the tax
gatherer. What is there Of money value

from labor on other parcels of land. Land
to-day Is selling in parts OF the world for
a few cents an acre. Such land has only
a speculative value. 1t could not be made
to pay interest in its present condition
