Saturday evening an attempt
was made at train wrecking, two
miles above Toone, by placing cross
ties on the track. The ties were
distributed in several different places
along the track, and one was placed
upright in trestle. The first train
to strike the obstruction was a south
bound freight, which was slightly
damaged, though not thrown from
the track. Suspicion rested upon
two boys, Jim King and Will Har-
din, aged respectively 16 and IL
years. The boys admitted their
guilt and claimed that they intended

MAHONE'S EXTREMITY.

Had it not been inevitable that William
Malone, being alive, must sooner or later
die, and that his death or the approach to
it would serve to remind the country that
he had lived, he might have slipped out of
view as silently as did the policy of repudi-
alton for which he stood. Because his
State, Virginia, found itself at the close of
the war burdened with a debt which would
delay progress and probably induce emf
grafton, Malone organized and led a
movement of readjustment which con-
tanned a large element of Republication.
The idea was repugnant to the proud old
Virglnian conscience, to American
spirit of honesty and to the republican
sentiment of accountability. Yet so des-
perate was the condition of the State that
the movement carried and in 1881 sent
Malone to the Federal Senate.
His career in that august body con-
stitutes story apart from the idea which
brought him into prominence. Still it
was dramatic enough. Added to his State
history it served to make him one of the
most conspicuous figures in the American
history. When all these temporary ex-
igencies which made him famous had
served their short day he dropped quietly
from public view, virtual outcast from
his native State and the wornout whip of
transient political needs.
And yet he had been one of the most
brilliant soldiers produced by the Confed-
eracy. AS major general his defense of
Petersburg on July So. 1864, was one of the
most remarkable achievements in the an
nails OF modern warfare. Until he essayed
to introduce partial reputation into the
policy of the South he was one of the, mill
tary idols of that section. But the old
Southern blood Of Virginia bitterly re-
sented his policy and though on. the
strength of its advocacy he was lifted to
the United States Senate, the South as a
whole repudiated him and his doctrine,
and his great scheme persisted in the State
of its birth.
AS a tactician Malone had certain
knack, but no foresight. His picturesque
personality contributed, with his fre-eat-
ing qualities, to make him conspicuous.
Had his patriotism been as high as his
courage he might have risen to an emil
nence as firm as it was picturesque. AS it
is, he lies dying at Washington, where he
has lived forgotten these many years, dead
in all the higher ways that men of lofty
character prefer TO bend their steps.

THE REFORMING WHEEL.

The able address by Mrs. Sturtevant-
Peet, president of the California Woman's
Christian Temperance Union, on the oc-
casion Of the annual convention of that
body in this City, contained a passage
which takes strong ground on the benefits
OF the bicycle. In speaking of ply
culture and the relation OF clothes to the
subject, she said:
"An know the value of strong I'M
hindered body. For this reason the ban
ishment of the corset and restricting
bands is foregone conclusion. =
Dress reform has pressed its claims for
forty years, with little progress, till the
bicycle, that graceful, silent steed of
motion, dashes through and bursts open
the door of prejudice. This mystic wheel
that We meet on every road and street is
the mute but telling advocate of dress re-
form. l. has its virtues as well az
its charms 1t invites, yea, demands, sim
plicity in dress. 1t encourages physical
exercise and utterly refuses to carry a
drunken rider. Unlike the horse, it balks
when touched by the hand of inebriety.
1t inconvenience and discourages the use
OF cigars and cigarettes to the number of
IS, 900, 900 year. In short, the wheel is a
feformer, and, though it came not through
the virtue of moral conception, we should
welcome its presence as we DO the advent
of every new invention and corporate edict
bearing the balm of sobriety, with the
promise of stronger and better men and
women"
Thisis straightforward expression from
an able woman who leads the California
forces OF one Of the greatest National or
CARNATIONS ever instituted for the uplift-
ing of the race. The dignity and earnest
ness which characterize her opinion cast
into the shade the shallow objections which
some physicians have made to the bicycle,
Mrs. Peet gives US to understand that in
the sole aspect of requiring women to dress
sensibly this simple instrument of loconao-
ton has accomplished more at dash than
the preachers on sensible dress for women
have been able to bring about in nearly
half century. With so eminent an in
dorsement as this even the most timid
woman who is not held in what amounts
to physical restraint by father, husband
or brother from obeying an instructive i'm
pulse 10 dress nationally and enjoy life and
health on u bicycle, may at least console
herself with the reflection that her i'm
pulse was right and lament that she was
born q few years too soon.

SHALL WE HAVE A NEW pRoNouN ,

The English language lacks pronoun for
the third person, singular number common
gender. Professor Henry G. Williams, in the
new edition.of his sOutlines of Psychology"
has introduced new pronoun for this place in
the language. 1t is tho word thon. The open
ing sentence of his; book, speaking of the i'm
portance of an ability on the part of the stu
dent to outline knowledge acquired, says
every student should acquaint thon self with
some method by which thon can positively
correlate the facts oftthons knowledge" Here
we have the three forms of the word ali used
in the same sentence. Declined: Nomirla-
tive, thon; possessiye, thons; objective, thon;
compound nominative and objective, thonself
Without the word thon we would have to
say: every student should acquaint himself
or herself with some method by which he or
she can positively correlate the facts of his or
her knowledge"
The new pronoqn, here suggested makes it
possible to avoid much mlocution, aud it
is quite true that such aword is needed, ana
the possibility. of inventing one that should
serve has been mach discussed
Whether Professor Williams has solved the
riddle satisfactorily remains to be seen We
admit that the proposed word is not euphoni-
Gus to our ear, But that may be because of its
strangeness. Familiarity may make it better
liked.-The Editor.

THE SEPTEMBER SURPLUS.


The treasury statement for the month
Of September gives the receipts from all
sources in round numbers at $27, 500, 900
and the expenditures at $24, 500 600, leav-
ing surplus of about $4,000, coo. This is
the second time the Wilson tariff has
shown surplus in months revenues
over expenditures, the first having occurred
In June, and as consequence we may ex-
pect now an outbreak like We had then OF
Democratic iubilation and Boosting.
There is nothing in the situation, how
ever, to justify any boasting whatever. To
have tariff yield a surplus of revenues
over expenditures two months out of
twelve is nothing to be proud of. tits just
about year since the Wilson tariff went
into effect and the deficits since that time
amount in the aggregate to about $65 ,oOO,-

AROUND THE coRR1DoRs.

stuyvesant Fish of New York, president OF
the Illinois Central Railroad, arrived in San
francisco yesterday with his family and regis
tered at the Palace Hotel. Mr. Fish is quite
young man for so high a position, being only
40 years OF age. He entered the railroad SER
vice after graduating from Columbia College,
new YORK, in 1871, as secretary of the presi-
dent of the Illinois Central. For a time he
was identified with the firm of Morton, Bliss q
Co, new York, and Morton, Rose Co. OF Lon
oon' IN 1876 he was elected director OF the
1lhnols Central and in 1887 was promoted to
the presidency of the company. He was the
treasurer and agent of the purchasing commit
tee OF the New Orleans, Jackson and Great
Northern and the Chicago, St. Louis and New
orleans railroads, properties which the Hi
nols Central acquired. Mr.. Fish is also mem
per OF the New York Stock Exchange.
The Illinois Central is surely one of the
great corporations of the United States, and
some years ago exerted vast influence in the
settlement and development of the Mississippi
Valley region. Its system of roads now radiate
from Chicago west to the Missouri River,
north to Sioux Falls, N. D., south to New Or
leans and east to Cincinnati.
At the Palace last evening Mr. Fish said: "I
left Newport early in September to give my
family an outing trip, and since then l have
peen 1ourney1ng through the country, keeping
OUT OF the way OF the mails and telegraph. /
went over pretty much the same ground this
AFTERNOON that did when I visited San Fran
cisco twenty-five years ago. We went to the
GIN House at that time and saw the seals.
There was not much then on the road to see,
but the park now is beautiful indeed"
Speaking of the Illinois Central Railroad in
reply to questions Mr. Fish said:
YES 1t has done vast deal to develop the
country 1t traverses. 1t was one OF the first of
the Immigrant roads. The Government gave
the land to tbs State of Illinois, and the State
gave 1t TO the road! We do not contemplate
the extension of our system to the Pacific
Coast. The country is all right on this side,
but there is vast space of unproductive coun-
try to cross in getting here. Our Southern
lines are doing well, and helped us materially
last year in meeting our obligations. The
South Will have another good crop this year,
but not as good for US as last years crop. Kan
sas has plenty of corn this season, but no wheat
to speak of. When Kansas has good wheat
crop we can handle 1t for shipment to Liver
pool via New Orleans.
eve got very little from Iowa and Dakota
last season, and therefore the good business of
the South was OF great benefit to the company.
The Illinois Central system of roads is in fine
condition. Yes, we did remarkably well in
handling passengers at the Worlds Fair. We
carried ten millions of people and did not lose
single life"
Mr.. Fish called at Southern Pacific head
quarters yesterday and had the unexpected
pleasure OF meeting c. P. Huntington.
The San Francisco call. [volume] (San Francisco [Calif.]) 1895-1913, 1895-10-03

amounts to little in cutting down that
large sum and it is clear that the close of
the fiscal year next June will show little
or no reduction in the debt already piled
up.
The general statement of the condition
of the treasury shows how little cause
there is for satisfaction in the apparent
surplus for September. On October 1,
1892, when Harrison was President and the
Mckinley tariff was in force, the public
debt amounted to 1866, SIS, 1874, with $131,-
S95, 918 net cash IN the treasury The
present treasury statement shows that on
the 1st of this month the public debt has
increased during the three years to 81 1885,
495, 099, and the net cash in the treasury is
$185, 405, 1858. The net increase in the debt
therefore, has been about $106 900, 900, while
the Understanding debt has been in
creased by $162, 1923, $50.
Since June so, 1892, the net expenditures
of the Government have exceeded the re-
ceipts by $120, Isl ,467. The Democrats
promised the country tariff for revenue
only, and yet, with the exceptions of June
and September. the Wilson tariff has never
in any month yielded revenue equal to
the needs of the Government. Until the
accession of the free-traders to power pro-
duced the panic of 1893 and paralyzed the
industries of the country the Republican
tariff always yielded revenue ample to
carry on the Government, defray the cost
of public improvements and provide for a
reduction of the Understanding debt.
The contrast between the two tariff sys-
TENS is evident in everything from the
affairs of the Nation TO private business,
and it will take something more than the
little surplus of September to blind the
voters of the country to the glaring de-
fects of the tariff of perfdy and dishonor.

MUSIC AND MUSICIANS.

The opera season at the Metropolitan will
open with Carmen as the production and
Nine. Calve as the star. 1t is said that this
prima donna receives $1,000 performance,
which, although large sum, is by no means
in excess of her deserts. The success won by
Nine. Calve III New York the year before last
was phenomenal, and there is every reason to
believe it will be repeated this winter. 1t is
not the fault of Abbey and Grau that they will
not have more American prima donnas among
their stars. They have religiously tried to
supply the home product, and the public has
as religiously shown its indifference to what
was not imported. Sibyl Sanderson did not
draw last winter, Zelie de Lussin was held up
to ridicule by the critics, and when it came to
choice between Emma Eames Story and
Emma Calve, the public demand was for the
French woman. Eames and Calve made the
season hot and uncomfortable for the manage
ment two years ago by their jealousies and

If the ad is forgotten as soon as 1t has been

good ad is one which seems all the better
upon being read second time.
Every ad should have some particular point

After all, the best ads are those that evince

Smart expressions are not essential for the
making of good ad; you can build one out of
the homeliest words.
Don't give the public credit for knowing
much about your business; the fact is, they
don't know half as much as they think they do.
If your announcement can only excite curl

the rest.
Good soldiers don't cease firing as soon as an

What appears to the uninitisted lavish ex-

Small ads that cost little and produce nothing
are certainly less economical than large, costly
ads whien bring results in proportion to their
size and cost.
The quality of the advertising done will
usually be reflected in the kind of people it
draws. If merchant harps on eheapness
only, he will draw to his store the poorest por-
