THE RECoRD-UNIoN the other day
warned the people clamoring for hori-
zontal reduction of carriage charges for
grain transportation by rail, that among
other things to be considered was the
possibility, nay the probability. that the
carriers by ship to foreign markets would
add to their tariff as much as the rail-
roads might reduce their charges.
Wednesday, before the Railroad Com.
mission, Fresno man was advocating
the sweeping and indiscriminate reduc-
ton of grain rates by an arbitrary per
cent, when railroad man asked him if
the railroad company had not reduced the
charge on wheat from Fresno sixty cents
ton? The reply was in the affirmative.
"And did not the ships chartered to carry
the wheat to Liverpool raise the rate OF
ocean carriage just that much ?" was
asked. And the Fresno man was COM
PEELED to admit the fact. But he at
tempted to explain that ships might
come to harbor on any day that would
cut the rate and send charters tumbling
down. 1t was on this line of reasoning
that Mrs. Toodles explained to Mr.. L.
why she had purchased door-plate with
The name of Thompson with p) en-
graved thereon.

wants to drink. Therefore, to convince the
people that sympathy with rioters is bad,
let the rioters have full sway. But how
about the other fellows who neither riot
nor sympathize with rioters? How
ness ? And, by the way, these other fell
lows when it comes to census Of SYM
pathy with lawlessnsss are in q large
majority. When so large number of
people join hands with insurrectionists
as to justify the thought that "the people"
are in sympathy with the opponents of
law and order, the difficulty rises to the
level of revolution, and new principles
enter in to determine wise policy.

IT is announced that the Manufact-
urers' Association having its headquar-
ters in San Francisco has organized bu-
reau that is to take charge of the adver-
Using for the mem bership of the assocla-
ton in the country press. We may do
injustice by prejudgment, nevertheless
we are quite convinced that this means
an effort to get great deal for little.
That is to say, they propose to pool their
advertising and then go to the country
press with propositions for lump sum
contracts and reduced rates. Why may
not the individual manufacturers adver-
tise individually, as do those of the East I?
Why is 1t necessary to form syndicate
to handle the advertising Of handful OF
California manufacturers? The country
press has established rates, that as rule,
are down to bedrock now and afford but
the slenderest of profits. If these are to
be scaled down by offering lump busi-
ness at a discount, the country press
should stand shoulder to shoulder in re-
fusal to accept. If this lump and shay
ing business is not contemplated, why
organize bureau? Why not do as other
advertisers do. and contract with the pa
pers of the interior according to the sew
eral local schedules and as individuals !?
We suspect that the new proposition will
materialize in q form that will amount to
a fixing of rates by the bureau. If SO,
the interior press should stand firmly by
its prices and decline to allow anyone to
dictate terms to it. There is no need for
middlemen tactics in this matter. If our
forecast is error we shall be greatly graft
fed. The Manufacturers Association
has been long in coming to the conclusion
that the interior press is the best medium
through which to reach the people Of the
interior, and that the country press is not
disposed to boom the business Of manu-
facturers at its own cost.

THERE is at least one clergyman in the
State who is not afraid TO advocate Gre
nation of the bodies of the dead. Rev.
Mr. Bolton of San Francisco has the cour-
cleanly and Christian. He asks very per-
tinently, "What are the objections to it?"
When any unprejudiced man marshals
the objections and confronts them with
the benefits of the system. he invariably
comes to the conclusion of the cremation
is.. There is no escape from it. Earth
burial and cremation in the long run are
one and the same, each process is incin-
Grafton, reduction to ash. As Mr.. Boil
ton put it, however. there is no such thing
as real earth burial among US in these
days. We coffin our dead, often place
them in metallic caskets and herm etically
seal up the bodies in these oaskets. We
embalm the bodies, place the wooden cof-
do our best to prevent the very process
that nature ordains and that we may well
hasten by our assistance. The true pur-
pose of burial. the purpose of the system
in its inception, was to hasten decay and
the return of the body to the several con-
stituents of earth. But we spare no pains
to defeat this purpose. and as result we
are far more unkind to our dead than if
we cremated their remains speedily and
decently. Even after the process all that
should be is preserved; the gases of the
body are driven off, the solids reduced to
ashes, and these ashes are delivered to Us
for burial, If we choose, or for preserva-
tion-it matters little which, since the nat
ural effect has been produced, the reduc-

the error, namely: That in France the
population increases more slowly than
in other countries. Since 1869 the increase

the year succeeding the close of the

NOTE AND COMMENT.

Los Angeles boasts that it has raised more
money to make California exhibits at the At
lanta Exposition than all the rest ofthe State.
Very we'll, If that is so all honor be accorded
to Los Angeles and the loyalty of her people
to the best interests of the state.
Since the first of January there have been
in New York 267 arrests for selling impure
milk, and fines have been imposed for the
ofIense amounting to the sum of S6,425.
Which proves, as we look at it, that the fine
is not the means for the suppression OF such
an evil. The man VINO knowingly sells inn
pure milk for domestic consumption Is in
heart murderer, since he must know that
such milk is liable to produce disease and
untimely death.

Altogether Too Too.

One of the most remarkable events
that has occurred this year is the
discovery of the so-called "crime of
1878" was no crime at all, but only
a "piece of regular legislation, be-
lieved to be for the good of the coun-
try, and nobody was deceived about
it in any respect" This statement,
coming from Mr.. Carlisle and the
plutocratic press, will have the effect
of convicting more liars and de-
speechizing more speeches than any
thing that has ever happened before.
No sweeter morsel was ever rolled
under the tongue Of the average
Democratic orator than the charge
against the Republican party Of the
sscrime of 1873" No Democratic
orator was considered to be in good
standing unless he could ring the
charges on the great ''crime of 1873 .
And now to be told, and told by one
of the leading Democrats of the
nation-one who represents the
present Democratic administration
that there was no 'crime of 1878,
and that the act which has beer
heralded over the country as a crime
was an actual blessing, is altogethe

On one side of the great financial

1t is not unusual for politicians to
attempt to use organized labor as a

an instance of this sort that is rather

sued an order that all members of
