No. Io5 NEW PROCESS.

The advantage Of the NEW
PROCESS" Blue Fame Coal
Oil Stove over the gasoline
stove is the first cost Of the ma
terial used. There is nearly
one dollars difference in cost in
favor of coal oil. A case OF
gasoline no gallons) will only
last two weeks, while an equal
quantity of coal oil used in the
"NEW PROCESS will last a
month.
This estimate is made on the
basis of the stoves cooking
three meals a day, the dinner
to be comprised Of the full num-
Der of courses.
We have these stoves in two
styles. The number "Io5" isas
per the above cut and consists
Of three burners. This stove
is very convenient for a medium
sized family, having all the fix,
lures used on the larger stove.
In the above cut the oven is
shown in position for baking or
roasting.
When not in use for either
it can be conveniently pushed
back and the burner used for
other purposes. The weight OF
the "Io5" is only 1870 pounds
and costs complete $22.so.
The No. loo stove is exactly
the same as the "Io5" except
that it has four burners instead
Of three. The cost of the "Io6'
is $25 complete, The weight
is $40 pounds.
All the burners can be used
for cooking at the same time
The wick raiser is strong and
positiue in its action. One wick
will last a whole season with
constant use if proper care is
taken. The enameling and
decorations are Of the highest
order.

LETTERS FROM THE PEOPLE.
THE v1TIcuLrURAL LIBRARY.

THE SECRETARY OF THE LATE COMMISSION TELLS
WHAT WAS DONE WITH IT.
To the Editor Of the San Francisco Cdtt-SIR:
notice in The CALL of the 26th inst. state
ment to the effect that after turning over the
property of the Viticultural Commissioners TO
the regents OF the university, "the members of
the commission still retained the library" etc.
l wish you would correct this. When the
old V1tlcultural Commission expired by law, /,
as its secretary, turned over all OF the property
TO Secretary j. II. C. Bonte of the regents, and
l hold the receipt OF the regents for the same.
1t is the intention of the new College of Prac-
tlcal Vltlculture to proceed at once with the
creation OF new library. I know of many
'viticultur1sts in this State who viii contribute
to this collection now that they know that
politicians Will have no hand in directing the
affairs OF the college, and that the necessity for
plennlal scramble at sacramento is over.
measures Will be taken to make this new
library the equal of the old one, far this is
possible. There are some rare volumes that
are next to fmpossi BILE to duplicate. but some
OF these are valuable only as curiosities and
can as we'll be dispensed with. The object will
be to collect every work of standard merit at
hrst and steadily add to the library as occa-
sion offers
On account of the error above mentioned
have received an insulting message from A. P.
Hayne OF Berkeley, who, understand, is Pro-
lessor Hllgard's mouthpiece, but who other
wise would he unworthy of notice. AS have
Secretary Bontes receipt for the library of the
OLD commission, and as but five books which
cost the State anything were lost during my
five years custodianShip of the books, in spite
OF the TACT that the library was semi-public, II
IS In decided bad judgment for insinuations
to emanate from Berkeley.

THE PIRATE RAVES.

| Mr.. Huntington's mud machine, which
| performs its work under the name or a
literary bureau" has been set to new
! employment. The task of detiling Leading
men of the State by quoting them as sup
| porters of the funding scheme and at
tributing words to them which they never
uttered has been abandoned for time,
and the machine set at work to do what 1t
can to bring into Ill repute the great and
successful enterprise of constructing the
San Joaquin Railroad.
The attack on the competing road was
made, of course, through the medium of
the Eueniag Post, the organ in this City of
the Southern Pacific of Kentucky, and
was made yesterday with as much force as
the Literary Bureau could pack into an
editorial something more than column
in length.
The article is notable because it is the
first open assault the monopoly has ven-
trred to make upon the San Joaquin road.
Hitherto the antagonism has been OF the
covert kind whose attacks are made slyly,
secretly and by indirection. Now the
antagonism is avowed. The monopoly
assails the enterprise of the people with
almost every form of vehemence known
to literature. There are evidences in the
article Of futile attempts at satire, sar-
casm and irony, anu some successful ones
at indiscriminate abuse, misrepresentation
and plain lying.
The public is told that some of the pro-
moters of the San Joaquin road are
anxious to have it appear as "an cleo
mosynary institution, built for the good
nf the mn hi il Str ct tad with hanpuntp
purpose and devoted wholly to saving the
souls of men," That is specimen of the
satire. The public is further told,
''The only indication that the San
Joaquin Valley Railroad is rail
road is in the rapacity and greed it
has manifested for gifts in the way of
terminal facilities at It's termini and in
the towns through which it is to be
built" That IS specimen of the plain
lying. From these specimens a public
too busy to attend TO all the utilities of
the Literary Bureau may judge the resi-.
. Through all the forms of the long-drawn-
out attack there runs the one purpose of
beating down the competing road if pos
sible by maliening its promoters, assalling
its methods and depressing its credit. 1t
is a bold attempt to destroy the prestige
of the road and weaken public confidence
in it to such an extent that the monopoly
may be saved from the competition that
threatens.
This new form of antagonism, however,
though more offensive, is not more dan
gerous than that which the monopoly has
shown to the San Joaquin road ever since
its conception. Past attacks have failed
and this one will fail. All the rage of
words in the whole column Will only con-
vince the pubic that the competing road
must be doing good work for the State,
since the monopoly is so eager to malign it..

business principles, even in relations with
the Government. This would be giving
them an enormous advantage over other
creditors. worse feature of refunding
would be the establishing of precedent
for exempting stockholders in a corpora
ton from individual liability as such. The
laws of California and of other States i'm
pose such liability on stockholders.
Refunding would destroy that liability
and reduce the resources for recovery on q
deficiency Judgment to the physical prop
erty mortgaged for the security of the
debts. To destroy that security is SIM
pie task for railroad managers. 1t would
be an extraordinary thing for the Congress
OF the United States to take course in
subvention of laws which number of the
States have evolved from painful ex-
perience.
General Hubbard S proposiiionis daring
in the extreme. Applied to the refunding
bills which he advocates il means that
even at the expiration of the fifty or
hundred years to which it is proposed to
extend the time for paying the debt it
will not be expected by the successors of
the parties in interest that the debt will
be paid. On the contrary, one extension
of debt fallen due will commit the Gov
ernment to further extensions. Worse
than that, the funding bills propose to
lend to men who have proved themselves
utterly untrustworthy vast sum Of
money at half the rate of interest which it
exacts from ordinary honest citizens. The
proposition is monstrous from every point
OF view. The loan-for an extension of
the debt is nothing but the making of a
new loan-is proposed to be made to per-
sons who have already defaulted on the
interest of the original loan and who have
crippled the Governments power of re-
covery by deliberately impoverishing its
security. If there is an intelligent citizen
OF the United States, apart from the
schemers who are urging this extraordi-
nary policy, who is anxious to see it
adopted he may rest assured that his
name will have an unhappy perpetu alton
in the history of the country.

EVADING PAYMENT.

General Hubbard, speaking before the
House Committee on Pacific Roads. has
made many extraordinary declarations,
but the hardest of all Is that it is never
the policy of railroad companies to pay
the principal of their debts, but that the
sole aim is to keep the interest paid. If
this is really the policy of the railroads of
this country, Congress has new and origi-
nal evil to handle, and General Hubbard
deserves the thanks of the country for
calling attention to it.
One of the fundamental objections to a
refunding of the railroad debts is the very
one that General Hubbard has advanced in
favor of the proposition. Refunding would
be recognition and Endorsement of that
evil by the Government, and that would
be the setting apart of railroads as class
exempt from the operation Of ordinary

ROBBING CEMETERIES.

A remarkable epidemic of graye-robbine
is affiicting the country. One of the most
sensational cases was recently furnished
by the medical department of Worces-
ter University, Ohio. Only few days ago
the grave in which woman had been in
tered in this City was found open and
the body exposed, but the reason for the
act has never been ascertained. The most
remarkable story of all, and the least
credible, comes from Seattle and is to the
effect that regular traffic in stolen
human bodies is carried on between per-
sons in Seattle and certain medical col
leges of San Francisco, and that the
bodies are shipped to this City by steamer.
While all this is going on the news
comes from Paris that the medical schools
have made a rule not to admit foreign
students who have not obtained the degree
OF bachelor of arts or of bachelor OF
sciences from some approved college, the
reason being that the laboratories are
overcrowded and that it is impossible to
secure sufficient number of subjects for
dissection. If these cannot be found in
Paris where may they be sought?
One of the horrors which charity hospi-
reasonably sure prospect of fetching up on
dissecUing table at last, and yet these are
the principal source. OF supply for the
medical college. That failing, the tempta-
ton to employ any one who undertakes to
deliver bodies to the colleges is very strong.
II the eyes of the college authorities are
closed there can be no sufficient safeguard
i'll such cases against dangerous hand
ling of infectious diseases. While there is
probably a great deal less of this sort OF
crookedness than is popularity supposed,
the fact that the Ohio institution undoubt-
edly secured its subject by such means
cannot be overlooked.
1t is not at all unlikely that such dis
coveries as this Will create a popular senti-
ment which will require the cremation of
all pauper subjects. This would work a
very serious injury to the medical profes-
sion, as dissection is an essential part OF
the instruction of students. ''Body-
snatching" will have similar tendency
with those who otherwise would prefer to
inter their dead, but might be driven to
cremation by fear of ghouls. The estab-
lishment of an adequate patrol of ceme-
teries is certainly called for and might well
be required by legislation.

there is not British port the wide world over
in which your merchantmen are not as free to
trade as are our own. That we nowhere place
obstacles in the way of commerce, irrespective
OF source, is undeniable. and thatwe safeguard
the life and liberty OF the stranger within our

more, we do not seek to acquire at the expense
oil other responsible nations or communities
one single foot of territory.
That when we have met with rough treat
ment and injustice inflicted upon the indi-

found 1t necessary to assert and emphasize the
value OF civilization, we ought surely not TO
