Recently tho Real Estate Exchange of San Francisco decided to call a State Im migration Convention, composed of dele gates from tho various counties of the State, to consider the general subject of immigration to the State of California. The convention was promoted by the n al estate agents, but to conceal the fact that its promoters were in the commission business, it concluded to assume the phase ofa popular convention. Just what the convention proposed to convert itself into after it had met was not clear, but if it proposed the formation of a Stato Im migration Association on some new plan, under an old leadership, it was working in the direction of a divided effort, and it appears to be the course of everything done or proposed for the benefit of Cali fornia that somebody should rise in a spirit of antagonism, neutralizing the good that is proposed by inaugurating hostilities, dividing counsel and dissipat ing effort. It now transpires that tho Immigration Convention called by the Real Kstate Ex change was in reality a hostile movement against the State Board of Trade, and its purpose in this direction is clearly con fessed by the President of the new con cern. The State Board oi Trade is an immigration agency conducted by pri vate contributions. The reason why anybody shouldseek to antagonize it is past finding out. The promoters of the porposed convention, however, seem to think that whatever good is accom plished b_ T the State Board of Trade Bhouhl be arrested, because they say it is in alliance with the Southern Pacific Company. In a recent interview with a metropol itan journal, the leader ofthe convention is quoted as saying to Secretary Maslin, of the State Board of Trade: "We do not care to join with you in any effort, for tho reason that, whether it is a fact or a sentiment, the suspicion exists through out tiie State that the State Board of Trade is too closely allied with tlie railroad to mako it a public good." Now here is a superlative fool, who, when tho Southern Pacific Company proposes to assist in promoting the welfare of the com munity, says the suspicion exists throughout this State that that corpora tion is engaged in promoting the public good, and that therefore the work pro posed must necessarily be a public evil. Under such leadership as this indicates, a convention is to be held for the purpose of preventing the Southern Pacific Com pany from joining in any effort for the promotion of the public good. It was further said in tho interview: "Wo now intend to work independent of those who are under corporate influence, and who, when they oome to San Francisco to at tend a State Board of Trade meeting, travel on free passes." This is a very astonishing indictment, but it indicates a liberality on the part ofthe Southern Pa cific Company of which we h a „; n ,, t j,,,. fore been ad\ ised. it is a matter of pub lic notoriety that the company has con tributed S'.iHxi a year cash, and that it ex pended nearlyfls,ooo on the rolling exhi bition known as "California on Wheels," and it it has given free transportation to the public-spirited men * ho have carried forward tlie \, r j effective work ofthe 1. it should be thanked for ad ditional liberality. If the railroad com pany had refused to do any of tin se things, we can understand why some body might have accused them of parsi mony, want of public spirit, and charged the company with being a cormorant and irbent; butitia scarcely conceiv itizen of California, interested and development of the State, should object to the character of as sistance which the Southern Pacific ivm pany has rendered an Immigration agency. The State Immigration Convention is to be called for the purpose o_ creating sions, dividing the effort and tralizing whatever good may have bean or may hereafter be accomplished by the immigration agency known aa the state Board of Trade. It has come to a most contemptible pa--- w ben even the question of inviting a citizen of some State to mako his r.^i with us involves recrimination, contention and controversy. The dispatch of war vessels to China; rionsm aa ofthe ssaaolts then upon foreigners: the demands <>f European Powers upon tho C2iin.se Government, ibe ne ' I ■'■" Kmtwrrar ba - to his chiefs in provinces; his appeal to Tartar Generals to protect foreigners and punish their assailants, all indicate a much graver situation than in this coun try has been believed to exist. That for eigners in China are very uneasy is cer tain; that they distrust the ability ofthe Imperial Government to maintain order, as well as its sinceritj', all letters from China disclose. True, the advices of our own Government are that the protection promised will be afforded. Hut these are not borne out by private advices. The masses in China are not satisfied that the Tartar shall rule them; they are jealous of the influence foreign Governments have in the Imperial Court; they aro be ginning to know their strength, and have gained something, from foreign contact, of boldness not characteristic of them. Thero is reason, then, to believe that the outrages are due to jealousy of foreign influence and the ambition of enemies of the Tartar throne, and if this is true then tho assaults upon European and American missionaries have more meaning than we have attributed to them. We do not believe, as some East ern journals allege, that the outrages are due to the restrictive laws imposed upon Chinese subjects abroad. China has not at any time manifested a retaliatory spirit. If she proposed such a policy it would appear in the form of laws bear ing with greater severity upon European and Americans resident in China. It is more reasonable, as we have said, to be lieve that the riots against missionaries are intended to express discontent among local chieftains with the Imperial Tartar rub. The greater danger is that the dynasty will placate the chiefs and those they lead by manifest unfriendli ness to foreigners in China. In that ease we may look for far more danger soon to menace Europeans and Americans there than now threatens them. WHEN tlie President of the United States said in his speech at Albany, New York, recently, that one dollar should 'ne as good as another dollar, ho ex pounded in a few words the anti-free coinage doctrine. Eighty- live cents worth of silver cannot he made as good a dollar as one hundred cents in gold. When he declared that the people who are most remote from money centers have the largest interest in having a dollar worth, all the time, one hundred cents, lie reiter ated an economic truth. Not less sound was the expression of the Chief Execu tive, as we interpret it, when he added that when one dollar is not as good as another, the poorer dollar always does its lirst duty in paying off tlie wage-earner. The men who toil and earn by sweat of brow or of brain, whose hands are hard or mental faculties are wearied by work for wages, are of all others most inter ested in having ever}- dollar an honest dollar, with the purchasing power of one as great as that of another, a condition that under tree silver coinage is impos sible. An important fact is disclosed by a re cent Treasury Department report con cerning immigration to the United Stab s. to wit: That the professional class, which embraces musicians, teachers, clergy men, artists, lawyers, physicians, etc., is a very inconsiderable proportion, or .056 per cent., ofthe total immigration during the last ten years. The skilled occupa tions, thoso engaged in forty or more dif ferent occupations, and including those who have acquired trades by careful training and experience, such as black smiths, carpenters, coopers, iron-work ers, machinist-, printers, gardeners.dress makers, miners, tailors, etc., also make up a very small proportion of tho total immigration; they in fact represent but 10.30 per cent, of the whole number of immigrants. The two classes —profes- Bional and skilled occupations combined -—mako but MX3S per cent of the whole number of immigrants. Aouict i.Tti:K in the United States fur nished exports in 1860 to the aggregate of Bl per cent, of tho total export. In bis volume had decreased to 74*» per cent. This is according to the volume just issued by the Government, entitled '"Stati.stic.il Abstracts for 1890." This is 8 per cent, of decline in thirty years. At tliis rate how long will it take for the point to i>e reached when all agricultural product tvill be consumed by the home market—something over 340 years, pencil and paper will show, litit, in truth, the best home market is that which is builded by the greatest exportation of that -we produce to the greatest advantage in ex change for foreign products we do not produce to the beat advantage. That brings genuine protection, and its better name [a reciprocity. Tsusbb is some activity in San Fran cisco to rescue a Btreet lamp from the fate of the building it ornamented, and which is being torn down. The lamp was once the glass wheel for the Mercan- Übrary lottery drawing, the only lottery ever authorized by law in Cali fornia. It is proposed to save this lain]) and put it in the State Museum as a historic relic. But why? Do we mani fest anxiety to put on view other relics of shame and <\ ii doing? Instead of at tempting to make The lamp a curiosity the thing to do is to demolish it and put as fkr a way from memory as is possible (•very reminder ofthe infamy with which the state once branded itself.

Only tho Ambulance Surgeon seemed to Have Plenty of Time. A bodcarrier had been badly crushed by the fall of a scaffolding while he was at work on a tall building in Wall street, says the New York Tri/.unc. His fellows had picked him up as tenderly as possible and had borne him bleeding and dusty to a shady spot to wait for the ambulance. It was a long wait for the man in torture, lor the day was an intensely hot one, and people were being prostrated by tlie heat all over the city, and the ambulances had been on the run all day. An hour is not a long time for an ambulance to set out from a hospital, bring back a patient, and then reach another one, but to those who watch a man slowly bleeding to death for want of medical assistance, it seems an age. Pug, rough men stood around tho fallen bodcarrier with tears in their eyes, utter ing low curses at the tardiness ofthe am bulance. But the victim of the con tractor's greed or carelessness whs the most patient of them all. As the minnt. s passed along he uttered no word of im patience, only he looked wistfully on those around nim. After about half an hour of this suspense a doctor who was passing v. as called over. He knelt down by the man, felt his crushed-in side and examined his fractured skull. Then he shook his head and asked softly: "Has he any lriends among you?"' ''None of us knows him, sir," said tlie foreman. "He struck me for a job this morning, and as I was short-handed 1 put him to work without asking him any questions." "Well, if any of you can get any infor mation from him about his people you'd better do so at once. He'll soon become unconscious and will die, without doubt, before night, no matter if lifty .unba lances came after him. Nothing can si\e him. It's only a question of a few hours." A tlask of brandy was procured and a few drops put between the ■utTorer'a lips. They seemed to revive him, ami he opened his eyes and looked around, but to all questions as to his name, ins home, his parents, his wife, his children, etc., he gave no answer. "vVell, old man," said the foreman at iast, tenderly, "we can't do nothing at all for you, the doctor says, though you know we would if we could. Tiie day is wearing on and our job must be finished. 'I he ambulance will soOn bo .here, so you won't take it hard if we leave you now, will you V" 'Ihe bodcarrier looked up at him slowly and spoke v. it li a great effort. "I've got to die, eh?" "Doctor says so." "How soon?" "before sundown, my boy." ".Ni> help for it V' ".No." "Well,**" with a long sigh. **yon go on with your work and I'll go on with my dyiny and he turned his head—shut his eyes—and—waited. Touching n Girl to Swim. In deep water, under the can; of an ex perienced person, a young girl may be taught to swan iv a much shorter time than by practicing in shallow streams, says a good authority in the Ladies' li. vme ■/■.filial. A rope can be fastened around her breast in such a manner thai :i v, ill neitner tighten nor unloose, and if coura geous enough, she can, thus prepared, plunge in head iirst. The teacher will show her the proper way Lo use the arms, and, finding herself protected by the rope, she will feel moro faith in the exer tion made. The aid of the ban 1 i . how ever, tar I letter than this, as it can he re linquish! d insensibly. The best method Of Leaching on this plan i-; lor a jjood swimmer to carry ihe learner in ti;.' anna into the water until breast high, laying her nearly fiat upon it, and supporting her by placing one hand under the chest, at tiie game tim< giving instruction as to the proper motion of hands, arms and feet, in a few da\ s the handlmay be gradually withdrawn, and thegirl-swim mei able to do without it. There nre so many "don ts" about swimming. Unlike Punch's, t'.ey ogin alter the a•; is signed, sealed and delivered, and you are a fair swimmer. The most important piece of negative advice Is, Don't ever lose your presence of mind. With that you are mistress of the situation, and, other things not overwhelmingly against yon, can reach land again. Special _%______»* PAINLESS EXTRACTION OF _______ by useol local anesthetic. DR.
