OUR BIG A FOE.

Whatever sentiment may prevail TO
weld the friendship betwecn our En-
glish cousins and ourselves, however I'M
warranted may be the idea that the two
greatest nations Of the earth, both of the
same Anglo-saxon parsntsge, should ever
be al war one with the other, 1t IL never
theless rubbish to pretend to believe
that the United States and England are
now, nave been, or can be, SO far as we
may look into the future, friends in a
business and commercial sense.
England is our trade enemy, our sworn
foe IN business. There is no sentiment
about the situation and no need to fall
upon the necks OF our British cousins
and tell them how we love them lin bu-
siness. Business as conducted by indi-
viduals doesn't demand any such silly
exhibition and the situation ss between
rival nations is none the less lacking In
reason for sentiment. This "brother-
hood" view Is a mugwump idea and was
the basis on which the Wilson tariff was
drawn-under which today England is
making money out OF us. We may think
ever SO wen OF our English cousins, but
when 1t comes to business we are rivals,
foes, enemies anything but brothers.
Any other view OF the relationship IL a
folly that men In their private business
affairs would never think OF indulgence
in. On the and trade Of ma
tions depend the prosperity OF nations
exactly as OF individuals. 1t so happens
that England and the United States pro-
duce lines OF goods OF much the same kind,
and they are competitors for the patron
age OF the rest OF the world. They buy
from one another as we'll. England
breads the competition OF the United
States in the markets OF the world more
than she does that o, any other country
and with good reason. England would
do ali she could, has lone eli she san, to
shut Us out from all the markets possible.
II Is not our business TO blame her for
that, to whine, to sulk, to plead with
her, because she tries to capture our
trade, to tempt our customer. away from
as II Is certainly not our business TO as.
'ist her to increase. her commerce by
abandoning good customers or arranging
matters so that she may increase her sales
to US right in our own shop. On the

other hand IL is our business TO fight En-
gland with every means at command for
the of the world. IL is a real
business competition and no nonsense
about il. There Is probably room enough
for both nations 10 do business, but we
want our share, and we want the share TO
be as big as possible.
II is not a case OF sentiment, or phil
anthrophy, or mugwumpery, or any
fool talk. II is just simply business.

During the years 1891 and 1892 the
country was under an administration
favorable to protection. During the
later period to June 80, 1894, we were
afflicted with a free trade administration
for sixteen months aud the certainty Of
it during the other two months.
During the free trade year and a half
there were PAP, 2i5 more employees made
idle by strikes than in the two full years
OF protection.
During the free trade year and a half
the loss of wages to employees was s15,-
go, O93 more than in the two full years
OF protection.
During the free trade year and a halt
the loss TO employees OF labor was %, $780,
31s more than in the two full years Of
protection.
Bringing the facts down to an average
monthly basis, we have the following:

period. The loss of wage to employees was
81, 2e4, s67 a month under Mr.. Cleveland's
regime, and the loss to employers was

and employees have common ground and

THE RIVAL RAILWAYS
Argument on the Injunction Proceedings Be.
fore Judge Pierce

Argument Oh tne FfOCecuiuYS De-
fore Judge Pierce
Judge Pierce of San Diego, sitting for
Judge Mckinley, listened to argum en- t
yesterday afternoon in department. six of
the superior court on the injunction pro-
ceedings brought by the Consolidated
Electric Railroad company against the
Traction company. Judge BIcknell on
behalf of the Consolidated com pany, a nd
Judge Wilde for the Traction people,
argued the case at great length, after
which Mr.. Guthrie briefly addressed
the court in the interest of the public.
Argument finally closed at 5:15 o'clock
when Judge Pierce stated that he would
PROBABLY decide the case today. He said
that he fully appreciated the importance
of the matters at issue and would lose no
time in disposing of them. Many of the
points raised were new, growing out of
the advance in science and the law would
have to keep pace with this progress and
adapt itself to the changed condition of
things.
1t appears that the principal point made
by the Consolidated company is that the
Traction people entered ON their tracks
without consulting them ana further
that they could not gree on the amount
of compensation that should be paid.
The Traction people on the othor hand
claim they did make tender but that it
was declined.
In ths meantime the Traction people
are shut off from the Santa Fe depot, hav-
ing to stop three blocks west of that
point. If the permanent injunction is
denied and the restraining order vacated
the Traction cars will at oace commence
running to the depot and the various de-
tails will be decided by the court.

AN UNDUTIFUL DAUGHTEI
Size Persists in Leading a Life of
Shame
Despite the fearful Pleadinys of Her r1others
Captured and Sent Home bv the
Humane Officer

There was pathetic scene in the oss.ic
of Humane Officer Hutchins yesterday af-
ternuon. A mother was pleading with
her daughter to return to her home an d
abandon the life of shame she was lead
ing. while the girl with cruelty that
brought tears to the eyes of the officers
who heard her, denounced her old mother r
and would not be moved even by her
sobs and tears.
The girl was Maud Calwell, otherw ise
known as Maud Hudson, who has been
living in house of prostitution for some
time. Humane officer Hutchins was
notified some time ago by the girls
mother that she was adrift in this city.
and requested to look her up. Mr.. Hutch
ins found that the girl mad been working
for a family in town for a while after she
left her home in Alba bra, after which
she drifted on the streets until advised
by masculine acquaintance that her
business would be moro profitable if she
would take rooms in some regular house.
This the girl did, finding a place at
well known resort on North Main street.
Here she was located by the officer, who
upon first calling for her did not find her
at home. The case was explained to the
madame OF the place, and she promised
to have the girl at the police station by
o'clock che next day. In the meantime
the girls mother was called upon, and
as result the two met as described
above.
Maud Calwell is rather Il comely young
woman. well developed for her age, she
being only II last June. When she was
a mere infant her father abandoned her
mother, leaving her to care for herself
and child. She struggled along as best
she could until her daughter grew up,
when she was com PEELED to send her to
Whittier on account OF her waywardness .
Some time ago Mrs. Calwell carried
gentleman living at Alham bra, and 500
after this Maud's release from the refor m
school was obtained and she was tax en-
into the new home. Her actions the re
created al ill-feeling between her an d
Der step-father, and accordingly she le ct
home and came to this city.
While at the police station yesterday
she stubbornly refused to go back to Ter
mother. The poor woman was nearly
distracted with grief. Sne pleaded with
her erring daughter and offered to do
anything she asked if only she would
leave her degrading life. The girl abso-
lutely refused to obey until the humane
officer informed her that there were but
two courses open to her, either to return
to her friends or be prosecuted by the
law. Maud chose the former and went
home with her mother on the evening
train. She will start soon for the east,
where her father is living. as she says it
is impos .ible for her to remain in her
stepfatheI's house.
