eral commercial conditions, are strictly
subserylent to them. There are many
other statements of like character. Those
which are not manifestly untrue are
utterly illogical.
1t is unfortunate for his general argu-
ment that he made this slip: GAS the
American railroad system was extended
and developed an irresistible demand arose
for the establishment of direct shipments
over connecting lines on single bill of
lading from the point of shipment to the
point of delivery" This happens to be
Just what the Nicaragua canal would
Afford its absence, added to the necessity
for rehandIing, renders transhipment over
the Panama Railway so troublesome and
expensive. Hence the Nicaragua canal
would offer great advantage now enjoyed
solely by the railroads, and for that rea-
son alone would be powerful competitor
a sheer at what the author terms sthe
so-called Monroe doctrine betrays the
animus OF his work. He deliberately
obScures both the military and political
aspects of the case.
1t is not worth while to give the docu-
ment further notice. 1t is clearly special
plea for the railroads. 1t ignores the pos
sibilities of development and readiustment
which the presence of the canal would
create, and that is the greatest of all con-
siderations involved in the proposition,
unless the matter of the better security of
our country be deemed greater.

the subject of culture, we have been
cheered by the arrival of an unexpected
but potent ally. Modjeska declares she
will never again attempt Shakespearean
roles in that city, as the people have no
appreciation of the classic drama, and
she recalls that Booth, after making for
tune by presenting Shakespeare in other
parts OF the country, failed to draw pay
ing audiences in New York, and that in
trying to maintain theater there he be-
came bankrupt. It will be remembered
that when Mr.. Greer Harrison made his
criticism on the big city, certain smooth
talking but rudely Illogical gentlemen
among US suggested that perhaps Mr.
Harrison could not write play. l now
indulge enough of an idle curiosity to
wonder what these same people will say of
Mod!eska's criticism. Will they tell US
that Booth couldn't act, or will they assert
that Shakespeare couldn't write?
The California Guild of Letters has done
something more than increase its own
prestige in the community by the publica-
ton Of the poems of Ina D. Coolbrith. It
has added to the prestige of California in
the domain of pure literature. 1t is an ex-
cellent thing to have such poet among us
and it is excellent also to have men and
women who know the value of that poets
work, and knowing it are willing to assist
in making it out to others. No slight SER
vice has been rendered to the State by the
publication of a volume of such fine work
as this. Wherever the grace of poesy has
a votary this book will find a welcome;
nor will there ever fail to be words of
praise for the Guild which by publishing
the book has put the poesy IN the reach of
all and added another to those volumes by
which the genius of California is made
known to the world and her glory in
creased wherever beauty is loved and art
is honored

POINTS FOR ADVERTISERS.
New York Printers Ink.

New York Printers Ink.
The best advertisement is the one that sells
the largest number of goods to the largest
number of people.
A good ad first catches attention, then
awakens thought, and then half the battle is
over.
People are unlike. One style, constantly per
sisted in, will attract the attention of but one
portion OF the people. iudicious variation
is necessary if all classes are to be Influenced.
Originality should not be too great q consid-
Grafton with ad writers. The ad that is not
original but sells goods is q better ad than one
that is intensely original and does not sell
goods.
Simply stating that your article is good, or
better, or best, without giving any facts to sub
stantiate your claims, is not apt to convince
people. Such advertising is not suited to a
skeptical age.
An advertisement is not solely literary per-
Torrance. 1t is not 10 be judged by literary
standards. Its form and substance may be in
exact violation of literary rules, but it may be
an excellent advertisement withal, because it
brings trade. That is the only test. The more
trade 1t brings the better advertisement it is,
however unliterary it may appear.

THE GUN NOT SPIKED.

To the Editor of the San Francisco CdlI-SIR:
The amusing account in to-days CALL of the
"taking of the Oregon" reminds me of the sur
prise occasioned a friend and myself one moon
light evening about two months ago. We had
walked from the Preside to the fort, and I
jok1ngly suggested that we should inspect the
big gun GU the bluffs above the FORT feeling
certain, however, of being challenged and
warned of. Much to our astonishment we
found no sentry on guard and walked up TO
the gun, inspected it closely and went away,
wondering at what seemed to our untutored
civilian minds inexcusable negligence on the
part of some one high in authority. We didn't
spike the gun, because we didn't want to.
Yours, EE.

Decline in the Market Traceable to Delay
 in the Bond Issue.

l OecAlne An Ine haiAeG IraceaOIe 10 Deiiy l in the Bond Issue. | New York, Feb. 6.-Speculation at the
 stock exchange was extremely dull to-
 day. The decline is directly traceable
 the market held well for the reason
 that the street is firmly convinced that
 the negotiations for the placing of the
 bonds have been successful and that all that remains is to announce the details of the deal.
 J. Pierpont Morgan was quoted as saying: I am satisfied that no an nouncement of a bond issue will be made until after the vote is taken in the house on the Springer bill. I am also satisfied that President Cleveland and Secretary Carlisle are keenly alive to the situation. This had a great weight with operators who were in- clined to add moderately to their lines Sterling exchange was also weaker, and under heavy offerings the houses sup posed to be in touch with the bankers handling the new loan posted rates were reduced 1s per cent to $4.S71k and $4.S9.
 The renewed activity on the part of the friends of the railway pooling bill in the senate encouraged the bulls somewhat, although it is doubtful if anything can be accomplished at this late hour. London added to the bullish feeling by purchases of St. Paul, Louis- vile and Nashville and some of the low priced issueS The recovery in corn and wheat also had good effect, the for mer having rallied 1h cent. The gain in prices ranged from A to 1as per cent, Louisville and Nashville, Sugar, Chica- go Gas, Lead, the grangers, Western Union, Northern Pacific preferred, Erie and Missouri Pacific all being prominent on the advance.
 In the last hour there were realiza- tions, and the gain noted was partially lost. Norfolk and Western common fell to 3% and the preferred to 131s on the appointment of receivers. The market closed steady with prices from 4 to $ per cent. higher than on yesterday. | Lead lost # and New England $ per cent In the inactive list Consols rose | 2A to 129h@12S1a.
