WHEN DO THE RATES ON GRAIN
GO INTO EFFECT2

Certain parties in San Francisco have
the impression that the reduction in rates
made by the Railroad Commission goes
into effect from the date Of the resolution
declaring that the board will make such
reduction. But these parties are either
Ill informed or are willfully attempting to
mislead the people. The Act of April Is,
1880, organizing the Railroad Commis-
sion, provides in Section IL rs follows:
Section IL. Whenever said board in the dis
charge of it's duties shall establish or adopt
rates of charges for the transportation OF pas
sengers and freight, pursuant to the provis-
ions of the Constitution, said board shalt SerCe
a printed schedule Of such rates, and of any
changes that may be made in such rates, upon
the person, copartnership, company or cor
poration affected thereby; and upon such
service, it shall be the duty of such pc rson.
copartnership, company or corporation to i'm
mediately cause copies of the same TO be
posted in all its Offices. station houses, ware
houses and landing offices affected by such
rates. or change of rates, in such manner as to
be accessible TO public inspection during usual
/
such further publication thereof as they shall
deem proper and necessary for the public
good. If the party TO be served, as hereinbe-
fore provided be corporation, such service
may be made upon the President, Vice-Presi
dent, Secretary, or managing agent thereof,
and if a copartnership, upon any partner
| thereof. The rates OF charges established or
adopted By said board, pursuant to the Consti-
tuition and hs Aet, shaU go into force and effect
on the ttcentiet day after service Of said sched-
ale Of rates changes IN rates, upon the person,
copdrhlerSI,ip. company or corporation affected
thereby, as heretnbefore prorided.
1t will thus be seen that the proposed
reductions, after they have been sched-
uled in detail, which is a work Of great
labor and must absorb much time, will
not take effect until the expiration Of
twenty days after the service upon the
railroad companies Of the schedules and
notice of reduction.

Prnfassor RIaokta,s Plaid.

DR.. Donald Macleod told me story
about the late Professor Blackie. The
Professor frequently stayed at Dr.. Mac
leod's house in Glasgow. Zone night"
says the doctor, "we were sitting up to-
gether Blackie said in his brusque way,
Whatever other faults / have, / am free
from vanity An incredulous smile on
my face aroused him. You don't believe
that! Give me an instance Being thus
challenged, said: Why do you walk
about tlourishing a plaid continually? p
pm give you the history of that, sir.
When / was poor man, and when my

The Goose That Laid Golden Eggs

Ought not to have been SLAIN. Her fate was
wholly unmerited. She was most useful
fowl There are lots OF bfpeds Of our race who
don't know half as much as she did. Con-
spicuous for their folly among this class are
the people who persistently dose themselves
with violent drugs, which either have ten
dency TO aggravate the complaints they are
claimed to cure or else to cause a most per-
nicious disturbance OF the system. Among
intelligent physicians the use of drastic" or
violent medicines has passed away with other
fallacies like blistering and bleeding. The
Doctor Sangrados are an extinct race, happily
for mankind. Hostetter's Stomach Bitters is
the best possible substitute for drugs in mala-
rial dyspeptic or bilious cases, and when the
kidneys or bladder are inactive, or where there
is tendency TO rheumatism. 1t is also an
unequaIed tonic and medicinal stimulant.

THE ATLANTA EXPOSITION.

The Atlanta Exposition has opened
auspiciously. and from all accounts it
promises to fulfill the highest expecta-
tions OF it's promoters. The California
exhibit in the main building is reported
by the custodian as entirely satisfactory
and as standing on par with other State
expositions and exciting gratifying inter-
est among Visitors and the press.
We look to this exposition at Atlanta as
one of the most important ever held-so
far as California is concerned, at least.
Our exhibit there will be viewed by the
class of people especially whom we wish
to see il. There will not be at Atlanta
such a vast number of attractions as to
withdraw attention from the substantial
exhibits or to divide and dissipate atten-
| ton.
4 failure OF the Chicago Exposition
was its monstrous size. 1t was the uni
form verdict of all who went from this
coast to see it that there was "too much of
it." This was so true that nearly all with
whom we have conversed who visited it
have been uniform in the statement that
there was 80 much to see that very little
had critical examination, and that as a
result much OF the expected good effects
of the exposition were lost. We know
this to have been true as related to the
California exhibits at that fair.
But this will not be true at Atlanta.
There attention to the practical Will pre-
dominate. The number and variety of
attractions will not be so great as to dilute
the time of the examiners and divide
their attention to our disadvantage. Be-
sides, 1t is more an exposition of products
and industries and less bazar than any
great fair yet held in this country, and
this will tell for California and her prac-
tical exhibit of products and proofs of
| capacity.

A LIVELY debate is in progress in the
East and in England over the questi on.
"Why is authorship declining, and why
is it now so i'll rewarded?" The Messrs.
Harper have attempted to explain, Civ
ing for one reason the sharp competi-
ton by other fields OF endeavor, which
draw bright minds from authorship. But
this is unsatisfactory. 1t Is probable that
good many fine intellects have been
drawn into other fields OF endeavor."
where the reward is greater, that might
have devoted their powers to authorship
But that this chiefly has led to decay in
authorship is not to our mind logical.
That authorship has declined, as certainly
it has, is due to two other overpowering

if they followed In the way of the cor
rupt or ignorant street officials of the old
type, they would be no Improvement on
the ordinary political Street Superintend-
ent. But their professional reputation
restraints them, even if tempted. More
over, being experts, they are held to duty
by the fact that there are hundreds of
skilled men in each city whom they
know to be able to expose any cheats.
But more than this, the position Of these
engineers is dependent upon their insur-
ing good street work for the cities they
serve. They prepare the plans and speci-
fications, and are checks upon Superin-
tendents and the contractors under them.
In every instance they have proved their
worth to the cities employing them. In
other words, street construction is an art
and calls for trained ability. 1t is no
longer true that any one the people may
elect or an executive appoint to build and
repair streets is by that reason qualified
for the task. If one wants his horse shod
he goes to blacksmith. If he wishes a
house built he goes to carpenters and
ioiners. He does not pick up any man
he meets, dub him q carpenter, and ex-
psct from him skilled work because he
has called him TO the work OF carpenter
