at night in the cities along the seacoast.

THE POWER OF MEDICINE.

Abbo does not cure by voodoosm, the
laying on of hands, or by hypnotlsm. He
takes no advantage of the decisions or
idiosyncrasies of any person. To his learn
Ing and skill as a practical and efficient
physician is alone due his successful dag
nosis OF disease, and his wonderful and
marvellous cures are attributable only to
Abbo's discovery of medicines that contain
ingredients that are remarkably powerful
in Graduating disease. Abbo's extensive
travels, his years of learning, an expert
ence and practice that has brought him in
contact with numbers Of the most difficult
surgical operations and thousands of COM
plicated and dangerous disorders of the
human system rarely or ever seen by the
majority Of the practitioners, places him
in position where he is able to fully and
intelligently handle any case that may be
brought under his care
BY the system of medicine used by Alb
DO and obtained through his European ex-
perience he is in possession of a weapon
by which pain is relieved and disease con-
quered. All forms of disease are treated
by Abbo, and no mater how incurable the
complaint may appear many times a pa
tient is restored to perfectly healthy con-
dition after only a few weeks of Abbos
treatment,
If you are a sufferer from any of the
human ills 1t would be wise for YOU to
consult Abbo before it may be too late
Consultation and examination will cost
nothing, and if you then decide to have
your case treated reasonable terms will be
made.

Since the establishment of the Abbo
Medical and Surgical Institute in this city
a wonderful record has been made in cur
ing disease and relieving distress and suf-
fering caused by any of the various af-
hictions to which the human anatomy is
subject. Marvellous cures have been made.
The suffering victims Of deadly disease
have been restored to health, strength, and
happiness at a time when their lives were
despaired Of. The paralytic has been CIV

dead and useless. The deaf have been
made to hear and the victims of eye dis
eases have been made to see when they
supposed their sight lost. All these Won
derful works have been done by Abbo and
have been attributed to some supernatural
power bestowed upon him or to the poten-
cy of some occult art mastered by the mys-
terious Doctor

RURAL MAILS.

The first experimental free mail-deliverv
route in the rural districts of California
has begun under favorable conditions.
The district in which the test is TO be
made is that surrounding the DOS roffice at
Campbell, in Santa Clara County, and
none more propitious for the success of
the experiment can be found in the
United States.
1t seems we'll assured the experiment
there will be successful if the people of
the district take the least interest in it
and endeavor to promote it. For miles
around Campbell the land is divided into
small orchards, averaging hardly more
than twenty acres, so that q considerable
population is closely clustered around the
central office. The residents of the dis
trict, moreover, are highly cultured peo.
pie. They are the class of men and
women who make large use of the mails.
They receive many newspapers and maga-
zines and carry on an extensive corre-
spondence. They have it in their power,
therefore, to make such use of the home
delivery of letters and papers as to Justify
the National Government in making the
delivery a permanent one after the expert
LAChb 10 ONCI.
1t goes without saying that the people
around Campbell should do all in their
power to make the experiment. successful.
Something more than their own interest
is at stake. The welfare OF other rural
districts in this respect will be largely
affected by the result which Is obtained
there. If the first test shows the value of
rural mail delivery the system will be
extended to other localities. All of Santa
Clara County and large districts in other
sections of California may reasonably ex-
pect to obtain the same advantage if only
good results are shown in this first expert
ment. The test. therefore, will be watched
with interest in many sections et the
State, and the people of Campbell should
consider themselves subject TO trial as
well as the system.

OINOH BILLS

There are abundant evidences that
among the measures introduced into the
present Legislature there are q number
OF the character which the popular voice
has long since named ''cinch bills" These
are designed not to prom ote the welfare
OF the people, but to enable the authors
and their friends among disreputable
Journalists to extort money from the
wealthy corporations of the State. Such
bills have become too common in Cali
fornia. 1t is time to put an end to them.
and this THE CALL intends to do so far as
it can by exposing them and denouncing
them.
Our exposure of the Examiner as moth
my in 1t of personal antagonism. We at
tack it simply because it is the champion
of the twin offenses of blackmail Jour-
nalism and cinch-b bill legislation. Our
war extends far beyond the Examiner Of
flee. 1t reaches to all who are engaged in
the nefarious practice of extorting money
from men who are too timid to fight pow
erful rascals. or else in their corruption
feel it necessary to feed an equal corrup-
ton in others.
1t is clear to every intelligent mind that
we can never have good government in
California either for the State or for
municipalities until these horse-leeches
which feed upon corruption are exter-
minated. So long as corporations are
compelled to pay large sums of money to
blackmailing journalists and cinch-bill
legislators, so long will they feel them
selves at liberty to recover what they have
paid to rascals by increased charges upor
the public. 1t cannot be doubted that
many a rich corporation would retire
from politics and devote itself to legiti-
mate business if it dared TO do so. The
fear of blackmail and cinch bills prevents
1t. The first step, therefore, toward a bet
ter condition of things is to send these
least to so expose them as to render
them as impotent as they are impudent.
To the work of exposing the schemes
of these rascals THE CALI is now devoting
its most earnest efforts. We have struck
the greatest and strongest among the black
mailers tirst. We will follow by ttacking
the lesser rascals as soon as their ras.
callty is made evident. We propose to
carry on the good fight begun By The
GALL In the old days of the management
OF George K. Fitch, and to edo to it all
the force, vigor and aggressiveness OF
youth. We confidently appeal to all
honest men to support lis in the contest.
What we are doing can injure no legiti-
mate business, and the man who is hurt
is only the rascal who is either engaged
in direct knavery himself or is seeking to
grow rich on the knavery of others.

PROFIiS OF sANDLOTISM.
s. F. Evening Post.


That the profits of sandlotism are not insig-
nihcant is amply proved by recent trial
which took place at Paris, France. The action
was suit Tor an accounting brought by q
journalist named Vaughan against Henri
Rochefort, ed itor of the Intransigeant the
leading sandl0t organ of the republic. 1t ap-
pears that when Rochefort went to Belgiu
in 1889 with Boulanger he left Vaughan in
cnarge OF MS paper. agreeing TO pay him for
ms services pr0porti on OF the profits. The
arrangement continued during period of
seven years, or until 1896. Then Vaug ghan and
Rochefort quarrered and the former sued for
the value OF his services, which involved
complete exposure of the business of the pa
per. 1t appeared from the report of the ac-
counting ofhcers that during the seven years
Rochefort received salary of 500, 600 year,
besides dlvldends amounting In all TO $780,
ooO additional-or, as one correspondent puts
II, an income OF $4,000 year. The figures
are ihterestlng as showing how luxuriously
man may live who makes q business of roast
ing corporations and abusing capitalists. A
professional reformer on q salary of $50, 600
year is certainly q sight fit for the gods.
But France IL not the only country in which
the business of fighting a corrupt" and "de-
graded" condition of society is made ex-
tremely prohtabie. A man could hardly throw
stone anywhere in any American city with
out striking newspaper engaged in the same
occupation, or an Individual who hopes to
gain lat office by Illuminating against cor
porauons with soap-chewing vehemence. The
remarksDle feature OF all these cases is that
the pubic seems to be continually taken in
by the .'reformers." The rapidity with which
some OF the sandiotters acquire wealth never
seems to strike 1t as curious or worthy et
reflection.

that the incoming administration will be

will be in weak or incompetent hands.
People of California in particular have
good reason to be pleased with the make
up OF the Cabinet. Our State will obtain
in 1t at last the recognition which it has
long deserved. If, as now seems certain,
Judge McKenna is the man ch osen to rep

his selection will be cordially approved
even by those to whom the successful
aspirant was not first choice. There is no
question in this Stale as to the fitness of
Judge Mckenna for the office of Secretary
OF the Interior or of Attorney Genetal, nor
Is there any question of his ability to ably
and worthily represent California He is
a strong man in every respect and we can

tative in the Cabinet of the Nation.
The Cleveland Cabinet has been so COM

the incoming Cabinet will shine with
added luster by contrast. 1t will not.
however, need this contrast to add to its
prestige. 1t will have such merit of its
own that it will compare worthily and
creditably with the best of its predecessors.
The President-elect has chosen each man

be beneficial both to his administrat ion
