FEAR THE ZANTE CURRANT, An Urgent Protest Against Its I'm.
 portation Free of Duty,

The proposed treaty with Greece, at least that part of 1t which relates to abo- lition of the duty on Zante entrants, has stirred up the directors of the State Board of Trade. Yesterday the following tele- gram was sent by that body to Secretary of State Hay:
 The California State Board of Trade most earnestly protests against any commercial treaty with Greece by which the duty on the so-called Zante currant will be removed or re- duced. While on the free list their competi- tion almost destroyed the raisin industry of the State. We produce S5 00O 900 pounds annu- ally by over 5000 individual owners of vine- yards, in which not less than $25 o00 0GO is in- vested. The industry Is but just recovering under the beneficent influence of the present tariff. All this will be made clear to you If opportunity be given.

NEEDS OF WEST MISSION.
Property Owners Clamor for Improve
 ments on Silver Heights.

ments on Silver Heights.
 From West Mission street, formerly Mission road, from the. residents and property owners comes a complaint of neglect on the part of the Board of Edu- cation. It is complained of for not pro- viding funds for the erection of a suitable school building near China avenue and Mission street. The present school build ing, the Monroe, which was moved from East Mission, near the City and County Hospital, about fifteen years ago, has been undergoing patch work at the hands of the School Department for years, until now 1t Is unfit for the housing of cattle, much less of children. Besides, the build ing is not half large enough to accommo- date the number of pupils who seek at tendance.
 Another complaint comes from the prop erty owners against the Supervisors for neglect in not providing against fire by having an engine house near at hand. Inc nearest engine is three miles away from the thickly settled section. So far as be- ing any real protection to the dwellings in the West Mission section, it might as well be located in Oakland The district has no hydrants and no proper supply of water; not even a fire alarm box can be found, should such a thing be sought.
 A requsition for electric lamps on the line of Silver avenue, from Mission street to the San Bruno road, has been filed with the Supervisors for months, but so far none have been erected.

MUST BUILD OR LET GO. Southern Pacific to Be Kept Strictly
 to Its Promise.

Erect the shops or open the streets.' That is, in effect, what the Board of Su- pervisors has said to the Southern Pa- cific.
 The promise made by the company in 1892 to erect shops and improvements in the district bounded by Channel and Grammar and Fourth and Fifth streets has not been kept nor has any action been takep toward it's fulfllment The promise to erect Improvements that would be valued in the millions was given in all sincerity and upon it the Board of Supervisors of that day closed the dis trict described to all traffic and uses save those of the railroad company.
 Since then the company has made use of the property and has kept none of it's pledges, and the following resolution. passed favorably upon yesterday by the Street Committee of the board, is calcu- lated to settle the matter one way or the other:
 Resolved, That. the Southern Pacific Con- pany be and are hereby notified to erect their shops in this city. as per agreement set forth in their petition presented to this board Octo- Der 31 1892.

DUTY ON CURRENTS REQUIRE,
THIS STATE CANNOT COMPETE
 WITH FOREIGN MARKETS.
Senator Perkins Presents the Views of California Raisin Men and a Strong Letter to the
 President.
Special Dispatch to The Call.
Call Office, Riggs House,

Washington, Dec. 8.
 Senator Perkins in forwarding the California fruit growers protest to the President to-day wrote a long letter in which he said the people of Cali fornia were greatly alarmed at the reference in the message to a reciprocal commercial treaty with Greece-that has in view the restoration of entrants to the free list"
 ''The cheap labor of Greece and Southern Europe" says Perkins. with cheap transportation by water to this country make it possible IT the dried product of foreign vineyards to com pete successfully with those of our own country. In California alone there are at least 5000 growers, of whom HOO met in Fresno December to rejoice over the increase in the market for their products, and the bright future of their industry. It was, as accompany ing telegrams show. a severe blow to their enthusiasm to learn that 1t was proposed to again throw open the door to competition with their products. which competition would flood the mar kets of the United States with inferior raisins and entrants whose price would mean disaster to California producers of similar products of vineyards.
 "A duty on raisins and entrants Is absolutely necessary to enable the great and growing interests of the United States to even exist. and this fact was fully recognized by both Dem ocrats and Republicans in Congress. and in the State whose great vineyards form the means of support for many thousands of people. l would therefore respectfully suggest that no action in favor of reduction of the duty on these products be taken. by means of treaty which will nullify the acts of both Democratic and Republican Con-

Candid Coufassiou.

Fair Phyllis, when l celebrate
Thy wondrous beauty in my verse.
Thy graces rare enumerate
And lovingly thy charms rehearse,
Pray DEAN not that my arder high
My fervent love, doth lead my muse
Thy loneliness to magnify,
Or overpay thy beauty's dues.
Nay, even my highest praises fail,
So feeble is my muses. flight;
And brightest fires of fancy pale
Beside thy beauty's wondrous light,
Yet, one poor merit may my muse,
At least, my Phyllis, justly claim:
Industriously doth see diffuse,
And faithfully, thy beauty's fame;
For when rent is due and duns assail,
And inspiration there is not,
The songs of love they never fail
They help the poet boil the pot.

Suicide Said to be Endemic.

DIR. La Rue, the famous French au-
thority on abnormal phenomena, has,
after exhaustive comparison of facts in
France, Belgium, England and the
United States, come to the conclusion
that the inclination to suicide is a mania,
and is epidemic. No learned authority
has as yet discovered with exactitude
whether malaria is epidemic or endemic,
but it has been a matter of notoriety
for nearly half a century, that the most
reliable preventive and curative of the
various forms of malaria is Hostetter's
Stomach Bitters. Restored patients
have not only set the seal Of their APP
probation upon 1t in malarial cases, but
commended for rheumatism, kidney and
liver trouble, nervousness dyspepsia and
