About Horse Meat,

WASHINGTON, April LIN view
of the closing Of German markets,
American packers might we'll turn
their attention to the preparation
and sale of horse meat. This sug-
gestion is made by United States
Consul w. Tingle, at Brunswick,
Germany, in report to the
state department. He says that
in the large German cities,
the consumption Of horse meat is
almost as great as that Of beef and
mutton and it is growing in the
smaller towns. Customers are eX-
clusively the poorer classes, but
they compose nine-tenths Of the
consumers of the country and the
meat is sold for seven cents per
pound, as against beef at from tif-
teen to twenty. five cents. The con-
sui says the demand has in
creased so rapidly in Ger
many that it is difficult to
meet it, and whereas butchers
formerly paid from S. to $40 for
worn out horse for slaughter, they
pay S45 and $50 and prices are ris-
ing. The consul sees here an OPP
portunity for American packers.
He says the horse supply of Amer
lea is practically inexhaustible.
They can be raised in the west
cheaper than cattle and more east.
ly shipped. The meat cannot be
canned, but it can be furnished
salted or smoked as we'll as fresh,
Just as it is used in Germany.

HAS RETARDED PROGRESS.
War On the Railroad Has Accom-
pIished Nothing.

War On the ifallfOau LAS ACcoih-
plished Nothing.
From the San Francisco Commercial Herald
and Market Review.
The fight with the railroad has now
been in progress for twenty years and
has given US nothing in all that time save
hearth urnings and mutual misunder-
standings. 1t has retarded the progress
of the State and has done nobody any
good. The road has heen regarded as
fair game by every one who has had
grievance, and being too strong 10 be
suppressed by ordinary means legisla-
ton has been invoked ito help the weak
in their struggle. This has developed
railroad and anti-railroad sentiment, the
latter by all means being the most gem
orally acceptable to the popular mind. Of
course it WAS to be expected that the rail-
road would strike back, and 1t has. 1t Is
not necessary to suppose that 1t has al
ways been i'll the right, put IL IS reason
able to believe that it has always looked
out for its own interests and these inter-
ests must necessarily be i'll the direction
of the best interests Of the State.
An overland road could not OF itself
subsist on transient trade, more es-
pecially when. as in these days, transient
trade is slipping away from 1t or being
divided up with other roads. 1t must de-
mend on State development That gives
something also to haul back. With tn
growth of population and industries 1t
business must necessarily increase. 1t
therefore its interest to increase the popu
lation and to foster these industries
That il has done much for both no rea
sonable man will deny. The populatio
of the State has increased SOU, 0O0 since the
Central Pacific was completed, and most
OF these people who were not born In the
State havo travelled hiiher oysT the lines
of the southern Pacific Company. Fruit
culture has become an industry since the
railroad began to spread its branches all
over California. That industry is now
worth about So, 900 q year. Ii is
greater than wheat in its value at present.
The wine industry has also grown up
since the opening of the roads, and many
another.
OF course it may be mooted question as
to whether the State has benefited or lost
more by the presence of the road, but we
believe that If there were no such roads
in existence and that if it were proposed
to bring into existence the present mag
nificent system with all its branches, that
no voices would be raised against the
propositions; not a vote cast to obstruct
the builders. They would be welcomed
with open arms by citizens of every class
and degree. Now, that we have the roads
let US make friends of them instead of
enemies. 1t will be better for both. We
merce, the Board of Trade and the Man
ufacturers' and Producers Association

RESTRICTING IMMIGRATION.
Congressman .johnsou's Proposed
Action.
IFrom the STOCKTON Record

From the Stockton Record
Congressman Grove l.. johnson is 60
ing TO make a fight in Congress to restrict
foreign immigration to the United States,
and, as he is thoroughly we'll informed
on the subject, he will be more than
likely to carry his point. Some three
years ago during political campaign the
writer heard Mr.. Johnson speak in refer
ence TO this matter. ana IL was very evil
dent at that time that he had given it
great deal of thought and had gathered
statistics that were in themselves aston
ishng.
He spoke of the general class of the
foreign immigration and explained the
difference between the desirable and the
undesirable. The better class OF Irish,
Scotch, English and German farmers,
who come out with snug sack OF coin
to look out for home, the finished me-
chanic, who brings enough money with
him to render himself independent until
he Is able to secure a position or COM
mence on his own hook. and several
other classes he specified, who were
likely to benefit themselves as well as the
country in which they lived they were
all desirable immigrants and we can
afford to welcome them.
But on the other baud the undesirable
immigrants should be kept out with the
most rigid rules - the lower classes
among the Sayoyards, Italians, Russians.
UreeAs, roles, AuStrO- duuEarlauS, poor
peasantry who have often been loaded on
the steamships 10 get them out OF ias
way and who land here without cen. 20

to land. Eighty per cent. OF these people

loathsome dens of the larger cities where
they land are "a constant prey 10 disease
and q msnace to the entire community,
and many of the children are loaned out
as beggars undor the padrone system,
compelled TO beg, steal or earn enough to
keep the whole family. MIR. johnson has
some word pictures which he uses when
talking on this subject and they are sure
TO have great effec5 upon Congress.

CUTTING ARRAY.

George Royal stabbed by One William
Cook.
A cutting ARRAY occurred early last
evening in the northern portion of the
city. a young man named George Royal
came running down Seventh street, eX-
planning that he had been stabbed, and
asking persons he met where he could
procure the services of a physician.
When he reached f street, near the
Crocker mansion, he was 80 weak that he
nearly fell to the ground. A man conf
ing along in a buggy stopped, and, assist
ing Royal into it, drove away. All efforts
to ascertain where the stranger had been
taken proved futile.
Later in the evening it was ascertained
that Royal got into all alteration with a
young man named William Cook, and
during the fight Cook stabbed him in the
breast with knife. Royals wound, 1t
is said, is slight one. No arrests were
made
