Ex-Queen Lilioukalani made her call upon Cleveland and he showed his hand. He also said it wasa glad one, but that may have been & bluff While they are shivering with blizzards in the Easi, we have on this side the mountains just enough snow and ice to make a Truckee festival. A bill has been introduced into the Ne- vada Legislature bearing the title, “An act to restrict and license glove contests,” sison the license. If there is no worse scandal affecting this Legislature tian thatof the payroll there will be more satisfaction in the State than has been known in a long time. What is the use of announcing that W. Fairchild, the newly electea ator from Indiana, was born in Ohio? Isn’t it always an Ohio man who gets there? There have been so many hold-ups in Chicago town and the revival. of late that nearly every man in provided himself with a pistol, an-dealers are calling it a trade It goes without saying that the investi- gation of the stuffed payvroll must be made in public. The people demand that the examination shall be as open as the offense. The public schools should not be closed for a month, neither should they be kept open at the expense of the teachers, Itis a poor town that cannot run its schools on a proper basis. Senator Chandler avows a determina- tion to prevent what he calls ‘the whole- sale larceny of senatorships,” but he would do better if he could prevent the larceny of Senators. The Supreme Court has decided that a sailor who refuses to fulfill his contract to serve on board a vessel must go to jail, but if a shipmaster should refuse to keep his contract with a sailor would he go to jail? The German physician, who claims to have discovered that all people in this country have what he calls “‘Americanit- is,” isright in everything except In naming it a disease. Americanitis is the vigor of sanguine healthfuiness The Kansas legislator who is trying to achieve fame by presenting a bill making it a misdemeenor for a woman to ride a bicyele straddlewise will reaily become famous if he will devise a plan by which & girl can ride the wheel in any other way. Senator Turpie turns from a three days’ speech against the Nicaragua canal bill to make another long one on Cuba with all the ease of a man who has versatility enough for all things and assurance enough to regard the Senate as his private talking rink. In declaring the Southern Pacific Com- pany to be an unlawful organization, having violated both Federal and State laws, the attorneys for the Railroad Com- mission have struck the nail on the head toa certainty, and let us hope that they can drive it home and clinch it. Dun’s Review calls attention to the fact that “the greatest growth and prosperity the country had ever seen came suddenly in 1879 after several months of disappoint- ment because specie resumption had not yet brought the benefits expected.” There is @ promising chance that something of the same kind may happen this year. From St. Paul to Galveston there has come upon the East a dread severity of cold; not like a wave that passes, but like a spell that bas come to stay and intends to enter every home that is not carefully guardea. Truly itis good to live on this side of the mountains. There is wisdom and profit in it as well as joy and pleasure. Since the Atlanta Constitution con- siders the town has grown larze enough to justify it in publishing an evening paper in competition with Hoke Smith's Journal ivis probable that late statesman will re- gard it as big enough to support another morning paper. When newspaper de- velopments get started they multiply dly. . THE EASTERN BLIZZARDS, The severe cold which prevails in the East at this time seems to be in many re- spects almost unprecedented. The extent of territory covered by it reaches from St. Paul, Minn., to Galveston, Texas. Ithas involved in an equal suifering the great cities of Chicago and New York and the sparsely settled prairies of Western Ne- braska and Kansas. In some places there has been snow sufficient to destroy flocks of sheep and in other places where snow was needed to protect the winter wheat there has not been enough to save those crops from destruction. Even the most casual reading of reports from the various sections of the East shows how great is the economic value of the equable climate of Californis. Even if the element of human comfort is left out- side of consideration there is still enough in the contrast between our conditions on this side the mountains and that which prevails eastward to demonstrate that our climate in the winter is worth to us many millions of dollars annually. With the coming of the blizzards there has been an appeal throughout the East for charity. This appeal seems to be in every way urgent and pressing. It is not merely the thriftless and idle vagrants of human- ity who are suffering now in the great cities, but industrious workingmen and their families. The Mayor of Chicago es- timates that it will require not less than $100,000 to meet the temporary demand for supplies to prevent the starvation and freezing of thousands of people in that city. Pititul stories of destitution are re- ported from the prairie States and well- to-do farmers find it as necessary to be prompt in their charity to their poorer neighbors as do the wealthy residents of great cities, Fortunately these appeals for charity will not be made in vain. Everywhere, from Minnesota to Texas and from Ne- braska to Massachusetts, there will be not only hearts prompt to sympathize With the poor, but hands ready to help them. The telegraph, by making known the wide extent of the suffering, serves to im- press the public mind with its greatness, and thereby impels them to be active in their efforts to save. The extreme suffer- ing as a consequence will not be great nor very much prolonged. American cherity has never yet failed to be equal to any disaster that has befallen its people, and in that well-established truth people of the East may find some consolation amid the storms that surround them. In the meantime, as a matter of human charity as well as of business, it would be well for boards of trade, chambers of com- merce and the press of California to call the attention of the Eastern people to the fact that they can gain immunity from storms by making their homes in this State. There is no reason why any man of moderate means or of comparative wealth should remain in a land where he is exposed to blizzards and storms when he can make his home in a land of winter sunshine without forfeiting his allegiance | | to his country and his flag. Eastern charity can save many people from the worst effects of the storm at present, but the only way for them to find permanent relief is to come West. MANUFAOTURERS' CONVENTION. The second annual convention of the American Association of Manufacturers, which met at Philadelphia yesterday, will be one of more than ordinary intere: It assembles at a time when Congress is pre- paring a tariff which will seriously affect the interest of all manufacturers in the country, and therefore its proceedings will be naturally directed to politics as well as to business. While the open hearings before the Committee of Ways and Means in Con- gress, which is preparing the new tariff bill, have been closed, there can be no question tnat the members of that com- mittee will gladly receive and carefully consider any recommendations which may be made by a body of such import- ance as this convention. In a certain sense therefore the delegates at Philadel- phia will have something of practical legislation on their hands. It will be an opportunity for them to make clear to the Ways and Means Committee what degree of protective duties is necessary to the welfare of American manufacturers, and to protect it not only from Europe, but from the growing competition ot China and Japan. It is more than probable the convention will recommend the creation of a Secretary of Commerce, to have a seat in the Cabinet and to share in airecting the affairs of the Nation. Such an official has been called for for some time and the creation of the office has long been a subject of Congres- sional consideration. The advocates of the measure have good reasons to support it, and it is certain that sooner or later it will have to be adopted As the United States increases in wealth and population and grows both in the extent and varlety of its industries there is necessarily a demand for new depart- ments of Government supervision. We recognize in the West the urgent need of a Secretary of Mines and Mining and can well appreciate the desire in the great manufucturing States for a Secretary of Commerce. The United States can well afford both tbese officials. Thers would be more economy in paying the officers required to perform the duties of the new departments than in leaving these vast industries without the supervision neces- sary for their best development. SUBSTITUTION. The practice of inconsiderace retailers in attempting to substitute untried patent articles for those of established reputation is not only an evil of long standing, but is one of growing injury to all parties con- cerned. The producers of such articies, the newspapers which advertise them and the public which buys them are all af- fected to their loss by the practice of sube stitution, und it is also easy of demonstra- tion that the retailers themselves who engage in such practice are injuring their business. To bring a new remedy or a new food into general nse there are necessary three things. First, that the new article shall be extensively advertised; second, that it shall be of sufficient merit to win popular favor after having been tested, and third, that the retail dealer shall supply it to his customers when called for. If the re- tailer takes advantage of the presence of his customer, who bas come to purchase @ specific article, to coax him into buying something else, he to that extent injures the advertiser and tends to diminish the cause which brought the customer to his store. Buyers can easily see how great is the harm done to them by this practice of substituting inferior articles for those of established repute. Men and women who have been made the victims of this prac- tice will not care to return to stores and shops where it has been imposed on them. Thus the dealer who has been successful in one sale loses the chance of making many others. He has been “‘penny wise and pound foolish,’”” as the old proverb hasit. He has made one sale of the sub- stitute, but lost a good customer and the sale of dozens of packages of the estab- lished article. The affairs of this world are so closely associated that the interest of one legiti- mate industry is inseparably associated with the interests of all other legitimate industries. When a wrong is done to ona all allied enterprises suffer. In the saleof patented articles the producer of the article, the newspaper in which it is ad- vertised, the dealer and the customer for it bave clearly one and the same interest. If the producer finds that by advertising he does not gain customers in a certain community he soop ceases to advertise in the papers of that community. The pub- lic is thus deprived of the knowledge of an important article of beneficial use. and the dealer loses the opportunity to sell not only that article but even the inferior thing which he has been substitating for it. It ought not to be necessary to point out to intelligent dealers the wrong they are doing to their own trade by the practice of substitution. They reap the benefit of all the advertising which is given to the genuine article, and it is to their ad- vantage to have that advertising con- tinued. The dealer who intentionally lessens the sale of an advertised article re- stricts his own business and injures his own purse. There ought to be enough business sense among retail dealers to understand this and a suflicient apprecia- tion of the importance of the subject to impel them to act together to put an end to a practice so hurtful to all concerned.

Fhlladelphia Ledger, The installation of the first Republican Gov- ernor that North Carolina has elected in twenty-four years may not insure to that State any better government than it has had, but it is a sign of progress, nevertheless, as it marks the end of the “solid South.” That sec- tion is no longer voting as a section, in an. tagonism 1o all other sections of the Uniom, but it is considering National issues on their meri(s and giving its members a chance to use their individual judgments on them.

OFFERED HIS LIFE THAT JUSTICE MIGHT BE DONE. A correspondent of the New York Tribune, from West Virginia, writes as follows: “The mention of Judge Nathan Goff for a Cabinet Judge Nathan Gof. position pleases the people of West Virginia, and his appointment to such a position will meet with the hearty approval of all West Vir- ginia Republicans. One of the incidents in Judge Gof’s life which has attached him to the people of his native State was the lettor which he wrote when confined in the dun- geons of Libby prison. “Judge Goff, ‘then & Unfon soldier, w! taken & prisoner January 20,1864, and was confined for four months in Libby. A rebel spy named Armsey was likewise captured snd incarcerated within the Federal lines and condemned to’be shot. Goff was held ass hostage for the spy, and word was sent to the Federal Government that he would be shot if Armsey was executed, Goff heard it, and wrote these lines to President Lincoln: ‘If Armeey is guilty he should be executed re- gardless of the consequences to me. Thelife of a singlesolder should not stand in the way of adherence to the great principle.” The letter is on file in the War Office.” NEWSPAPER PLEASANTRY “8ir, Iam the real author of ‘The Beautiful Snow.” “You are?

At a meeting of the Hayes-street Im- provement Club Monday!night the question ofopening Alamo square by running Grove street through from' Steiner to Scott was fully discussed, but no decisive action was taken further than to instruct the dele- gates to the affiliated ciubs to bring the matter up at the next meeting. The Board of Supevisors in 1889 passea an ordinance authorizing the opening of this street through the square, on the con- ditions that the property-owners along the line of Grove street pay for the grading, sewering and paving out of their own s of this was figured at about $14,000. Those conditions were ob- jected to on the ground that the pro rata was unequal and unjust. It would impose atax of $1 per foot frontage on all the roperty-owners from Larkin to Baker. Rie property-owners at either end of the street objected to this, and as a conse- quence the scheme did not go through. The conditions of the present proposed levy are that those on the further end of the street should be assessed at 10 cents per foot, the rate to continue proportionately toward the center, when the $1 limit would be reached. In favorof this schedule it Is'advanced that the labor and material are cheaper than they were eight years go. Should this project be carried out, an application will be made to have the name of Grove street changed to Park avenue. It is further claimed that the grade on this street is less steep than that of Golden Gate avenue, and as it leads airect from the City Hall to the park entrance, that it would make one of the most pleasant drives in the City in that direction. The matter wiil be fully discussed before the affiliated improvement clubs when the g‘:’y- Valley delegates get seated in that y. The following delegates were elected to the affiliated clubs: Charles Alpers, J. Harry Scott and P. J. Gompertz. It was decided to change the night of meeting from Monday to the second and fourth Wednesdays of each month. Killed by an Elevator. Mrs. Kate Geary, on behalf of herself and her minor son, by her attorney, Martin Stev- ens, has sued the Emporium Company and Mrs. Abbie M. Parrott for ,000 on account of the death of John M.

Nelson against l'llll:k elson, the Marie Louise variety were carried by the maia of honor, and quantities of the modest little blossoms spanned the arch- way of the bay-window, in which the cere- mony was performed, and composed the snowy white wedding bell that swung over the heads of the young couple.

Shareholders Joost and Butler Sued on a Judgment Against a Corporation. Mrs. Agnes E. Kiernan, by her attor- neys, Delmas & Shortridge, has sued C. C. Butler, Bebrend Joost and Fabian Joost for their respective proportions of debts due to the plaintiff from the San Francisco and San Mateo Railway Com- pany. Mrs. Kiernan was injured by an acci- dent on the line of the road and instituted an action for §20,000 damages. The jury gave her a verdict for $5000 and judgment was entered for that amount. No appeal has been taken by the com- pany, snd, one vear having elapsed, itis now unappealable, final and conciusive. Demands have been made for the money due from the defendants, and they have refused to pay. Inasmuch as each de- fendant owned 5000 shares of the capital stock of the company atthe time the liability was incurred the plainuff now asks that they be compelled to puy her $1250 each, making $3750, and for the bal- ance she will look to the other stock- holders. A similar suit was filed by Rudolph Collink against the Joosts and” Butler for the following sums: Against Butler, $625; against Behrend Joost, §1125; against Fabian Joost, $325.
