HELP OUR COMRADES,

Our comrades and their widows in
San Francisco are, by reason of their
age, suffering far more than any other
class. They may and doubtless are
making a brave effort to take their
places with the other noble citizens OF
that stricken city, and cheerfully begin
rebuilding thier homes and fortunes. But
undeniable years lay heavy hands upon
them and deny the effective work of
which they were once capable. Their
needs should be promptly administered
to by all the help We can send them
without robbing ourselves or the needy
ones who are always with us. The Ma
tional Tribune will receive and forward
all contributions direct to the Depart
ment Commander Of California, and
acknowledge the same through these
columns Give literally and quickly,
comrades.

The japanese have done a great work
in civilizing Formosa, and report that

under control, except that there are
occasional small bands of Head Hunt
ers. who refuge in the inaccessible for
ests and cannot be reached until the
country is better settled. Railroads are
necessary, and thus far 1000 miles have
peen butlt. Apparently the Japanese are
not as thorough in their pursuit of the
Head Hunters as the American soldiers
have been in the Philippines. The af-
fair at Mount Dajo was an illustration
or how resolutely the American troops
hunted the rascals to their homes. The
japanese are introducing education with
three classes of schools, one for the
japanese, one for the Chinese settlers
and one for the Malay Aborigines. The
development of the production of rice
sugar, sweet potatoes and ramie is rap
idly increasing. Formosa is the princi-
pal source Of the worlds camphor. The
production Of this is nearly at a stand
still, owing to the wasteful treatment
OF the forests, but the Japanese are put
ting the matter under q system and
planting millions of camphor trees, SO
that they hope to eventually greatly in
crease the production. They are also
saving the camphor Oil, which is a gain.
as the Oil Is worth almost as much as
the camphor. We have a large and
growing trade with Formosa, our ex-
ports being second only to those Of
CHINA. In our purchases we stand third

THE RATE BILL.

There are now about 100 amend

general opinion tends to belief that it
will pass with but One-a provision for
very limited court review. The de-
bate upon it has been, and will continue
to be, extended and Illuminating. The
Senators have given a vast amount of
very hard study to the measure. and
their speeches have never been sur
passed in the history Of Congress. The
public has received q much-needed edu-
cation on the subject, and many popu-
lar views have been radically modified.
The rights of the corporations as we'll

rapid enrichment of rings of favored

of the Rate bill. 1t has followed as one
OF the incidents. The scrutiny Of the
railroads business will bring out facts
