CHANGES IN RURAL ENGLAND.

LIVER since the repeal of the corn laws and the
adoption OF policy OF free trade the rural dis
- tricts OF England have been declining in rela-
tive value to the urban districts. The changes were
slow at first, but with the increasing facilities for the
importation OF farm products from abroad they fol-
lowed one another more rapidly until now the situa-
ton is so different from that which prevailed in for
mer times as to amount to something like a revolu-
ton in the social structure OF the kingdom.
The landlords were formerly aristocracy Of
wealth and power Their large landed estates rented
to tenant farmers brought them in vast revenues and
enabled them to maintain in addition to their man
sions in London, those stately country seats sur
rounded by spacious parks which have been the ad-
nliration of every traveller, and have made English
country life something like an ideal earthly existence.
AS the competition of American farmers increased
the incomes from British farms diminished, the de-
mand for them fell off, and the revenues of the land
lords decreased A considerable number of the great
estates have been broken up and sold In other
the owners Of castles have had to close them, be-
cause OF lack OF money to maintain them. So ex-
tensive have been the losses OF the lords in this way
that recent writer on the subject estimates that
about three of every four members of the nobility
whose wealth consists chiefly of agricultural land
in such financial straits they hardly maintain their
town houses, much less keep up their big establish
ments in the country.
1t is stated that the number OF agricultural labor
in the rural districts OF England has decreased
much per cent during the last twenty years,
although the population of England and Wales
whole during that time has increased by more than
6,ooo,ooo In considerable number OF rural villages
the population is less at present than it was during
the middle ages. The inhabitants of rural England
moving in to the cities enigrating,
by reason of lack OF profitable employment on the
farms.
Such is one Of the results of free trade. A great
industry, the most essential to nations welfare has
been virtually destroyed by policy designed to aid
the manufacturers, and the United States and
Germany are beating manufacturers in their own
markets Cobdenism, in fact, seems about as dis
astrous to Great Britain could be any policy de-
vsed for the express purpose of wasting her wealth.

THE COMING AUTOMOBILE.

y BAD start makes good ending" says the
| \ proverb and if there be truth in it The Call
Herald automobile will come into California
with colors flying, make record run across the
State and arrive at The Call office in triumphant
demonstration that long distance journeying over
American roads by the new vehicle is feasible
Proverbs not to be relied upon in all cases
There is always, however some foundation for them
in the common experience of men, for otherwise
they would never find sufficient acceptance to be-
come proverbs The bad start Of the automobile.
for example, will have tendency to bring about
good ending by the very fact that it puts the mechan-
ism to test reveals its weak places and
shows exactly where alteration and strengthening are
needed. With every breakdown way is provided
for improving the machine and by the time it crosses
the Missouri the automobile ought to be in good
shape to make the rest of the journey without a ser-
Gus arrangement of any part OF its machinery
The record of Saturdays shows the various
difficulties which the machine has to contend against
in making long journey and taking the roads rs
they come. Considerable speed had been made along
good road and everything was seemingly all right.
when a portion Of the road that appeared solid and
strong gave way and the machine into ditch
very nearly upsettng it. The jar OF the shock
snapped brass casting that controls the valve on the
rear cylinder. The break was repaired with solder
ana q new start was mace, Dut as soon as speed
developed friction melted the solder and new deay
occurred -
In the journey of the day some of the roads were
good and some were execrabe. There were long hills
to climb and all kinds of roadbed to be traversed
Despite the obstacles, however, and the accidents
single of which caused delay OF three hours the
record of the day showed a run of hfty-seven miles
upon consumption of five gallons Of gasoline So
far as speed and the extent OF mileage covered are
concerned the record is not one to boast Of but it
shows that the machine can climb hills and make
headway all kinds OF American country roads
With the weak parts Of the machine strengthened
and with freer motion in all its parts resulting from
their use, there are ample for expecting the
record OF the journey to improve as the automobile
comes West.
One feature of the is worth noting A long
stretch OF hicky settled country has now been rav-
ersed and yet hardly any runaways have been caused
by the appearance Of the machine along the roads
In the run from Poughkeepsie to Hudson on Satur-
day not single accident of any kind was reported 1t

A SENSELESS REPORT.

y REPORT from Boston announces that there
I \ is being organized in that city uprising OF
the colored race against the administration at
Washington" The object Of the organization is said
to be the defeat of Imperialism and maintenance o
the rights of the Filipnos and it is added that while
the plan OF the movement is revolt OF colored voters
from the Republican party at the ballot box, there
those among its supporters who would willingly
take part in an armed uprising, and who, were it
possible would offer their strength aid the Fill
pinos in their struggle for independence"
A report OF that kind is about senseless lie
the iingoes have yet concocted in their efforts to
dscredit the conservatives who upholdng
American republicanism against the Jingo craze for
adopting an imitation of British Imperialism. That
number of colored men in Boston have organized for
the purpose OF opposing Imperialism may be, and
very likely is true That they may aim to organize
allied associations among coored throughout
the country may also be true. But that any
siderable number OF representative colored men
organizing fight the administration to aid the
Filpinos by armed uprising is altogether in
credible 1t has not appearance OF truth 1t
is lie that stalks forth boldly in the garb of lie
Considerable efforts have been made to misrepre-
sent the attitude OF the administration toward the
Philippines. Jngoes have sought to make the Presi-
dent appear OF themselves Bryanites seeking
to array the against the administration have
denounced him as if he were ngo. Thus when the
colored organize to protest against ngoism
they are at once described as instigators of revolt
against the President and are accused of willingness
to break out into open and armed nsurrection.
What comes next? The jngoes resourceful
liars, but they excel what they have ac-
complished in that direction? The picture of plotting
negroes organizing for armed uprising in the
United States for the purpose OF aiding the Fpinos
is really about senseess thing could be con-
ccived even by the imagination of lunatic

then he would stop and scan the windows
in an anxious manner, and again resume
his nervous pitter-pat on the concrete
driveway. He was finally seen to brace
himself up as If for some supreme effort,
and with rapid strides walk toward the
entrance to the insane ward. He rang the
bell which was answered by an attend
ant. II am going to make a somewhat
peculiar request" he said; but 1 want
you to do me the favor l ask and 1 will
explain my reasons later"
Come inside and tell me what you

walked in. and when the door had been
closed he turned to his host.
'I want to see the best strait-jacket
you have in the place
The jacket was produced and carefully
examined by the visitor
Now, Mr. Attendant, am going to ask
you to place this jacket on me. Put 1t on
and lace it up as you would If l were a
violently insane patient. Lace 1t tight
and knot your strings in the most secure
manner you know of"

just in the mood for some diversion to re-
lieve the monotony of waiting for some

That's good" said the visitor, survey
ing himself Now may 1 trouble you to
show me to a room where can be alone
for a few minutes
The attendant thought he had a good
subject for confinement but kept his
thoughts to himself and showed his mvs-
terious visitor to a CELL He then closed
the door, which he left unlocked About
ten minutes later a violent knocking was
heard. The attendant rushed to the cell
where he had left his visitor.
You might open the door now" said
the individual.
The attendant opened the door and. to
his CONSERVATION, there stood the mys-
terious young man with the strait
jacket carefully folded over his arm.

promised to explain why 1 put you to a..

There Is a probability that the Califor-
MIA Miners Association will interest
itself in the injunction suits against the
Kate Hayes and Red Dog hydraulic mines
brought by the Anti-Debris Association
through it's manager and attorney Robert
r. Devlin. These suits are based on the
contention that the dams which have been
built at these mines to restrain the debris
of the hydraulic operations, which have
been licensed by the Federal engineers
composing the California Debris Commits
sion and by them regularly inspected and
approved, are not built SO as to efficiently
and permanently restrain the tailings,
and so the streams below are being dam
aged and threatened The Caminetti
law placed the control of hydraulic min
ing operations in the watersheds of the
navigable streams of this State wholly
within the power and discretion of these
Federal engineers, whose Judgment alone
regulates the material and construction
of these private dams. They are sup
posed to be competent judges of what an
efficient dam is, but their competency in
this respect is now attacked.
The constitutionality of the Caminetti
law reposing final authority in the Fed
eral engineers is involved. 1t is asserted
that an appeal may be taken to the
courts, which may overrule the engineers
The law is assailed in its most vital part
1t is because the very existence of the
law is threatened that there is a strong
sentiment among leading members of the
association in favor of taking up the fight

SAVED MANY FROM FREEZING.
ArtIIIerymen Stationed at Circle
City, Alaska, Perform Acts
of Her0lsm,

The company of artillerymen sta
toned at Circle City, Alaska, under oom-
mand of Capt. Richardson have saved
no less than 20 lives this winter by maxi
ing trips over the ice after stragglers.
This news was brought direct by q
sailor who walked out over the ice.
The artillerymen have made many
startling reseues during the winter.
Recently a party arrived from Fort
Yukon and reported to Capt, Richard
son that comrade had been left lG
miles down the trail, He was so badly
frozen that he could not push on. II
was II o'clock at night, but the squad
started at once. They found the man
and brought him to the camp on sled,
lie was ihawed out and only lost bis
of his heel.
Lieut.. Mcmahon was badly Srozcn on
this trip and troopers who went with
him also suffered. There is hardly
man in the detachment but has felt ih'
frost in one way or another,
1t has been very cold on the Alaskan
side of Yukon this winter. One man
reports on his trip out that he saw no
less than ten men with some of theif
limbs amputated.

AN ERROR CORRECTED.
Tho Demand of President mckinley on
Spain Was for "Nothing Less Than
the I,land of LuEOn.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 1T app$rrs that
an erroneous impression has gone
abroad respecting the nature of the
presidents instructions to the Amer
lean peace commissioners in Paris
touching the limitations of the claims
TO be put forward so far as the Philip
pines were concerned to the Is
land of Luzon. AS n matter of fact,
SO far from making that island
the maximum claim of the Amer
leans, the presidents instructions
actually placed that island as the
minimum claim to be set out. The
language was Nothing less than the
island of Luzon," instead of Nothing
more than the island of Luzon." 1t
can be stated also that the correspond
cnce submitted to the senate included
all of the instructions to the American
commissioners. The only omissions
from the mass, it is stated, were letters
touching matters in no way related to
the Spanish negotiations.
