AROUND THE CORRIDORS.

E. de Kay Townsend, of the brokerage firm
of Mulcahy, Townsend & Co., who has just re-
turned from a trip East, has this to say regard
ing the noticeable restitution in the East:
awhile the people of San Francisco may think
themselves very badly off in many ways, and
particularly in the matter of dirty streets, they
would find little to complain about after visit
to New York during the holidays. They would
then have been thoroughly disguised with the
sloppy, muddy and slippery condition of both
streets and sidewalks. There also seems to be
a large amount of restitution in all the large
cities of the East, and one cannot walk two
blocks without being accosted by as many per-
sons asking for aims. At the entrance of many
of the large business houses you will find,
hanging conspicuously at the door, cards bear
ing the names and locations of the different
charitable organizations of the city, to which
mendicants can apply for relief. This became
necessary, as the clerks time was being taken
up in answering the applications of the beg
gars, constantly dropping in from morning IN
til night"

NOW FOR BUSINESS.

There has been enough of talk about a
competing railroad. There has been much
talk against the existing railroad. 1t is
fortunate, therefore, that to-day we shall
have an opportunity to learn what it all
means and what it is all worth.
The meeting which has been arranged
for the merchants and the property
owners of the city with the Traffic Asso-
citation this afternoon will divide with the
Senatorial contest at Sacramento the
attention of the whole State; and beyond
the State will engage the minds of business
men throughout the Union. Capitalists
who are indifferent to political rivalries
will watch this meeting with keen in
terest. 1t means much to them. The
banks of New York are overloaded with
accumulated and accumulating capital.
The owners of it are seeking for large in
vestments. They are watching the posi-
bility of finding such an investment in the
proposed road. If the men of San Fran
cisco stand up for the road to-day and
raise the money needed to begin it, there
VIII be no difficulty in getting enough to
complete it.
1t is not too much to say that the imme-
date future OF San FRANCISCO is largely de-
pendent upon the outcome of this meet
ing. 1t is more important to us than a
hundred meetings for indignation or po-
litical purity. 1t will set the mark which
San Francisco is to hold in the world of
capital and trade for a long time to come.
If the needed money is raised at once we
viii acquire a prestige in the money CEN
tiers of the world for energy and enterprise
that will draw to Us men of means and
brains as they have been drawn in past
years to Chicago. 1t will confirm the be-
lief that California is the right place to
make investments. 1t will rouse the en-
ergies of the State, attract outsiders, and
bring with it thousand indirect benefits
in addition to those that will flow directly
from the construction of the road.

scale that argued innumerable. weddings
in individuals, and many have been the
theories advanced to account for it. Some
philosophers have held that man wobbles
only when intoxicated while others have
attributed the wobble to a weakness
of will, the uncertainties of life, the force
of circumstances, OF to the survival OF un-
steady habits derived from arboreal ances-
tors who oscillated through life swinging
by their tails from tree to tree.
Science has exploded all these theories
by demonstrating that it is the earth itself
that wobbles. According to the astrono-
mers the globe has three poles instead OF
two as was generally supposed, and the
axis upon which it reyolves is variable.
This variance is but slight, only some sixty
feet, as it is calculated by DR.. Chandler,
who in recent number of the Astronoml-
cal Journal has explained the whole mat
ter. Slight as it is, however, it means that
the earth wobbles in its revolutions, and
that every meridian, parallel or other
imaginary line located with reference to the
poles wobbles also.
To comprehend the situation fully 1t
must be borne in mind that the boundaries
of our country both north and south run
along parallels of latitude for 1000 miles or
more. When the variation carries us sixty
feet to the north or sixty feet to the south
we may not feel the imaginary shock, but
is it any wonder we wobble2 With
parallels, meridians, the poles and even the
equator wobbling around us, the wonder is
that mankind succeeds in standing up at

TIME TO ACT.

A New Orleans paper in one days issue
mentions the arrival of seventy-fve Iowans
as settlers in an Arkansas colony, fifty
eight Belgians to form farming colony i
Bolivar County, Miss, the location of a
New York colony in Vermilion Parish, La,
and the probability that 10000 people from
Iowa will remove to Texas during the next
five months.
Facts of this kind should rouse Califor-
MIA to a realization of the truth that if we
desire to direct the stream of emigration
from the blizzard States to our own State
this year, now is the time to act. Bad as
the winter has been in California it has
been worse elsewhere. Men who have
been stricken with the storms of wind and
snow on the treeless prairies, who have
seen their families suffer, and who have
been confronted not only with loss of prop
erty but with danger to the lives of those
whom they love, are seeking for homes in
warmer and more moderate climates.
They are not waiting for the springtime to
come before deciding where they shall go.
They are selecting their future homes now,
and with the coming of spring the grand
movement OF emigration will begin.
It is evident, therefore, that the time to
make bid for immigration is right now.
California can offer better inducements to
home-seekers than any Southern State. 1t
never suffers from billiards. such as that
which recently swept the entire South
from Louisiana to Carolina, and destroyed
the orange crop in Florida; and, moreover,
it has advantages in the way of educational
facilities, to which Northern people have
been accustomed, and which few sections
of the Southern States can afford.
To win large proportion of the emf
grafton that will seek warmer climates
after the severity of the winter, the people
of California have only to act promptly and
act tremendously. San Francisco should
take the lead. Her merchants, her men OF
wealth and influence should do for all
California what those of Los Angeles are
doing for the southern part of the State.
They should help to make known the re-
sources of the interior counties, and assist
in attracting settlers to them. The prompt
adoption of a united course of action at this
juncture promises to repay both to the city
and to the State ten times more than il
would cost to either of them
