or onrailroad trains, or at anyplace where
a Los Angeles paper should be sold, will
oblige us'by reporting the fact to the Her
ald office, Los Angeles.
The city council will meet today and
It is confids'.ttly expected thttt tbe va
cancy on the police commission caused
by the death of Thomas Weldon will bo
filled. It is well understood that the
merchants and business men of Los An
geles are desirous tbat an appointment
.should be made and at once, and it is
believed that tbe counoil will take some
heed of an opinion so pronounced, and
pay some attention to interests bj im
portant as those represented by these
petitions.
The railroad managers, at the instiga
tion of the SoutbernPaci fie, have deter
mined to put tbe screws on California
from tbe eastern end of the transconti
nental lines. They have docided to
raise the rates of fares and frsigbts on
west bound traffic to the end that tbe
immigrant and the importer shall be
charged "all the traffic will bear." Tbe
Southern Pacific haß already cloied the
western gate, and this advance of freight
rates, of from 50 to 75 per cent, is mere
ly a completion of tbe Californian rail
road corral. Does anybody dispute tbe
advisability of foreclosing the govern
ment mortgages on railroad property?
■ Every preparation uiaal in the news
paper offices for the "handling" of
"features" is being made by those of
San Francisco to record the death list
tbat will result from tbe operation of
the Southern Pacific's electric line oc
croßß Market street at the intersection
of Kearny and Third. The collisions
with cable and horse cars, and tbe in
evitable lots of human life already in
imminent peril by reason of tbe traffic
concentrated at this point, will be pre
sented in sensational style and the
steady, lengthening list ofjtbs killed and
wounded will head each account in the
blackest type. It is not a cheerfal out
look for tbe corporation or for the peo
ple of San Francisco.
Representative Maui'ikk's argu
ments in opposition to the Pacific rail
roads funding bill are irreiutable. He
shows that although the bonds are
about to mature nnd although tbe gov
ernment will have to meet them the
nocossity is not so alarming in tbe face
of the fact that the people bave been
paying interest on tbe bonds for years,
until the amount has reached the
astounding figure of $50,000,000, while
the principal only amounts to $37,000,
--'.'oo. In view of this condition he thinks
it will bo better if congress makes no
edjuotment, in which event the Pacific
roc.de will lapne into government con
trol. It is the intention of Mr. Ma
guire to contest the moaßtire on the
floor of the house if Chairman Reilly
insists on having a time fixed ior con
sideration before the holidays.
The so-called "Baltimore Plan of
Currenoy Reform" is likely to enter
very largely into the financial discus
sions tbat will be incited by tbe action
of the present congreßß and that which
will be taken by its successor. A. H.
Hepburn outlinea the proposed plan in
the December Forum. The proposition
Is to amend the national bank act ao as
to no longer require government bonds
ut Becurity for circulation, and providing
tt safety fund, allowing banks to issue
circulation to 50 per cent of tbeir paid
np unimpaired capital, and in an emer
gency, 75 per cent. All notes of
failed banks are to be redeemed
by the government, as under the
present law. A guarantee or safety
fund, equal to 5 per ceut of the outstand
ing circulation, is to be accumulated and
maintained by gradual taxation upon
sucb circulation. From this fund the
government is to redeem notes of failed
banks. The government also retains •
prior lien upon tbe assets of failed banks,
including stockholders' liability, as now
provided by law, ia order to replenish
this safety fund and protect itself against
possible loss. Practically, ths only
change is to Babstilute a guarantee fund
for government bonds as security, the
other changes bsing incidental. Just
such a law as tbe one proposed by toe
Baltimore bankers is now in successful
operation in the Dominion of Canada,
except that the Canadian law allows
circulation to the par of unimpaired
capital, and the government assumes no
responsibility for the redemption of
failed banks' notes beyond tbe applica
tion of the 5 per cent fund. The law haa
proved eminently snocssaful and satis
factory in Canada.
A STATE RAILROAD.
Senator J. R. Mathews of this conn ty
has consented to bring the question ol a
state railroad before the legislature in
the form of an amendment to the con
stitution. This will obviate tbe objec
tion recently urged that if snob a propo
sition is presented to tbe legislature at
tbis time for decisive action by direct
enactment it would be controlled by the
Southern Pacific Railroad company. The
people will first vote on the amendment,
and then elect a legislature to carry out
its provisions. If, under these circum
stances, playing for a stake as important
as this will be, the citizsns are false to
themselves, as they have been in the
past, tfcey will have only themselves to
blame if they are delivered into the
hands of the Southorn Pacific corpora
tion.
The amendment to be offered by Sen
ator Mathews will provide for building
s trunk line from the Oregon border to
the Mexican boundary. It will fix the
amount ol bonds to bs issued for tbe
construction of the road and tbe rate
which those bonds will carry, as well as
the time they will run and tbe method
of their redemption. Kvery advooate of
government ownership of railroads will
approve of the measure, and only
those who oppose the issuance of bonds
in any form or for any pnrrfttse will
oiler objec'ion. This objection may be
overcome, however, by argument show
ing that a road to be built as proposed
in this instance will bs loss burdensome
us a debt upon ths state than direct tax
ation and tbe exorbitant rates charged
by a monopoly or a pool, or even the
less onerous tax imposed on individuals
by roads in competition.
The proposed amendment will also
provide for the bonding of counties for
building lateral lines wherever such may
bo deemed necessary or advisable, thus
making possible increased profit in tbe
operation of the trim it line, by means of
an aggregated business contributed by
those "feeders." This is an important
consideration and one that is never over
looked by railroad corporations, who
understand that without "feeders" or
branch lines a trunk line cannot main
tain iteelf unless it operates through
densely populated sections.
The proposed ■let* railroad will ss=
care an outlet over three competing rail
roads in the north—the Northern Pacifls,
tbo Great Northern end the Canadian
Pacific; and in the south over ths Santa
I n and the Southern Pacific. All of
these lines will be compelled to bid for
the traffic of tbe state roed, which will
virtually dictato its own terms, opera
ting as it will on a basin of actual cost
end giving tbe shipper the benefit of
rates on this basis. When the Central
Pacific becomes government property
transcontinental traffic will bs nssured
at a minimum of coat, defying every
comnetition of the established roads.
Every argument that can be urged on
bebelf oi government ownership of rail
roads will hold as valid to tbe state rail
road sb proposed by tbe Mathews
amendment. One of tbe best examples
of such ownership is presented in the
practical results obtained in New
Zealand, where the railroads are abso
lutely tinder control of the government.
The New Zealand Official Year Book,
for 1894, contains many Important facts
upon which to base an estimate of tbe
advantages tbat would accrue from the
operation of railroads nnder similar con
ditions in tbis country.
Up to 1870 there were in operation 46
mi'.mb only of railway in New Zealand.
Iv that year, when the colony was feel
ing the disheartening effects of the
native war then just ended, the colonial
treasurer. Sir Julius Vogel, promulgated
his publio works policy, nnder which
some £10,000,000 were borrowed
from the British capitalists and ex
pended in tbe encouragement of immi
gration, tbe construction of railways
and roado in all parts of the colony, the
extension cf telegraphic communica
tion, tbe supply of water to tbe gold
fields nnd tbe purchase of native lands.
In 1878 the abolition of tbe provinces
plated the earlier constrncted railways
in the hands of the general govern
ment. ■
','Jhere are now open for traffic 1948
miles of railway, the construction of
which has cost about £7770 ($37,606.80)
per anile. This includes the expendi
tures on tbe provincial government
lines and the purchase money paid for
district railways built by local syndi
cates and taken over by the government;
•lan the cost of rolling stock and equip
ments.
The large mileage ot railways in pro
portion to tbe „■ pulation, tbe location of
tbe latter along ths coast mainly, the
active competition of water carriage, tbe
very short distances over which traffic
can be carried, the importation by sea
o! ihe great proportion of mercantile
products which are used by the inhabi
tants, the extension of the railways in
land to mountains and pastoral districts
almost devoid of settlement, together
form a combination ot clrcnmstances
adverse to tbe railway system as proba
bly bas no parallel in any other coun
try. Tbe imposition of rates for car
riage bas also to be largely guided by
tbe peculiar circumstances attending
tbe colonial settlement.
These 1948 miles ot railway produced
a groBS annual revenue of £1,172,793
($5,076,318.12), tbe net revenue being
£137,434 ($2,117,180.50). "equal to a div
idend of £2 17s 9d per ont on the total
cost oi all opened lines to that date."
LOS TTERALr>t MONDAY MORNING, DECEMBER 10, 1894.
||The wo-king expenses nf the Units for
the year ending March 31, 18114,
amounted to £735,35!), absorbing 62.70
per cent of tbe receipts; but as tbe cost
of improvements la renewing rails and
in reconstructing rolling stock and more
permanent structure is borne by work
ing expenses, tbsy ere thus made to
appear heavier than tbey otherwise
wonld do.
For tbe past year the tonnage of tbe
principal product? was : Wool, 101,640
tons; timber and firewood, 267,850 tons;
grain, 411,191 tons; minerals, 864,538
tons. The receipts from passenger traf
fic were £402,010, including season
tickets, £23,540.
The average revenue per mile of rail
way was £613 3i 2d, and tbe average
expenditure £384 9s 3d per train mile
respectively. The cost of maintenance
per mile for last year was £140 3s 81.
The passenger fares are generally at
tbe rate of 2'.,d (5 cents) per mile
first-class, and 1-jd (BJi oents) per
mile second-class; tbe return fare being
calculated at one-tbird increase on these
rates. For suburban and local traffio,
however, the rates are much lower; in
some cases of commutation tickets being
as low as %A llSf cents) first-class
and %& (1 cent) second-class per
mile.
Tbe estimated popnlation of New Zea
land is C 76.749, only about twice as many
people as there are In the city of San
Francisco alone. There are 2.'88 miles
of railway in New Zealand open to each
1000 of population. Of tho popnlation
of New Zealand, 41,963 are Maoris and
4044 Chinese.
The rates of wages are as follows:
Farm laborers, 4 shillings 6 pence to 8
shillings per day, without board ; plow
men, from 7 to 10 shillings, ditto ; reap
ers, from 6 to 10; shepherds, with board
perannnm, £40 to £85; eheepehearera,
with board, per 100 sheep, from 15 to 20
shillings; bricklayers from 7 to 10 shill
ings per day, without board; carpenters,
painters, plombore. wheelwrights, plas
terers, masons, from 3 to 10 shillings;
general laborers, 3 tn 8 shillings.
From $2 to $2.50 a day is not bad
wages for the artisans named, and 5 to
8 shillings, ($1.25 to $2; per day for
common laborers is as high a rate ol
wages as is paid in California.
The estimated annua! cast of living'
per head in New Zealand is £35 6s Id.
as compared with £ 1:5 10s 2d. iv the
United States.
Tho daily wages cf railway employees
in New South Wales are 13 shilliogs
11'o pence ($3 35) for locomotive drivers;
9 shillings Iftjj pence ($2 45) for lire
men; 10 shillings' 2 pence ($2.54) for
guards; £219 4 shillings 8 pence ($1061.
--10) per annum for station masters ; £106,
3 shillings 3 pence ($513.31) for opera
tors.
Twelve holidays a year are given on
full pay to all railroad employees, and
an equivalent in money is given il the
holiday cannot bs taken. In addition
to this, engine drivers, firemen, guards,
signal men nnd gangers are allowed six
good-conduct holidays. Expensss av
eraging Ibree shillings per day are al
lowed drivers, firemen and guards, and
all others when away from home sta
tion?. Lodging houses with attendants
are provided at nil principal stations ,'or
the engineer, firemen and guards free of
charge. Station masters and oificers in
charge are allowed frss houses, and free
passes are issued to members of tbe
railway BtefT, when on leave of absence,
including wife and family not exceeding
three.
In New Sjuth Wales the charge for
trucks of six tons, for any agricultural
product except hay, straw and chaff, ie
£4 17 shillings and 6 pence ($23.48) for a
500-mile run. This is at the rate of 78
--100 of a cent per ton per mile.
A comparison of tbe freight rates of
the Southern Pacific from this oity to
San Francisco, or from any of the valley
cities of California, with this data will
convince the most skeptical that the
plan proposed undsr the Mathews
amendment is not only practical and
eminently profitable, but that it only
needs a certain amount of energy, pub
lic spirit and personal enterprise to ac
complish by this means what we have
been endeavoring to accomplish during
the past 25 years.
Another important consideration in
connection with the Mathews amend
ment will be the polling of the present
legislature on tbis question. Every
member will have to go on record and
it will be satisfactory to ascertain by
this test who are the friends of tbe peo
ple aud who are not.
THE BLOOD SERUM REMEDY.
The experiment* in progress in San
Francisco with the anti-toxine care for
croup and diphtheria will be watched
with intense interest by every mother
in the state. These diseases are tbe
deadliest scourges tbat affiict childhood.
Tbe number of deaths from diphtheria
last year in New York was 1970. In
the last three years the number was
nearly 4800. In tbe census year 1880
tbe number of victims in the whole
country was 38,143, and there were also
nearly 18,000 deaths ascribed to croap.
An epidemic of cholera that should
sweep away 38,000 lives in 12 months
would bs regarded as a terrible calamity,
bat this is a disease which is more
highly infectious tban Asiatic cholera
and marked by as high a mortality,
while it is much more difficult to take
effective measures for defense against
it. The annual mortality is 30,000 in
France and 20,000 in Austria. This
season the number of cases is larger
than usual in American cities. Un
asaal mortality has been reported from
Boston and other Massachusetts cities,
from Ij'hiladslphia, Detroit, St. Louis,
and several towns on the Hudson river.
The discovery of a remedy that will pro
vent a fatal termination when adminis
tered at the right time, tbat will give
immunity to exposed persons, and that
reduces the mortality in hospital caaes
one-half, is one of very great importance
and value.
Tbe theory of tbe uso of nati-toxine is
diametrically opposed to tbe theory aa
to the application of Koch's tuberculin-'
and there is as great a difference in the
natures of the two substances. Tuber
culin was a preparation of the disease
poison itself, and it was thought that by
tbe introduction of it tbe progress of
the tuberculous disease could be stimu
lated with a beneficial result. This was
an error, so far aa tuberculosis id con
fined parts of the body is concerned, and
in such cases 'ha inoculations did more
harm than good. They added fuel to
tbe fire, with injurious effect. Bat an
ti-toxine is not a preparation of the poi
son secreted or produced by tbe germ of
diphtheria; it ia a substance hostile to
tbat poiaon and in itself harmless, ac
cording to the uniform testimony of
those who have used it in more than
1000 cases. It is a resisting substance
developed in tbe blood of ani
mala which have been tested repeat
edly with inoculations of the poison,
and tested until tbey have become thor
oughly proof against that poison—proof,
because of tbe gradual development of
thia hostile and protective material.
When introdnced into the system of a
human patient this substance continues
the work which it has been doing in the
horse; it attacks or operates against tbe
diphtheritic poison, and if tbat poison
has not become too deeply seated and too
plentiful, it neutralizes or overcomes it.
For this reason, as well as on account
of the ircord of experience in Europe
and in New York, tbe person inquiring
as to the value of anti-toxine should not
permit himself to be biased ur prejudiced
by what is now known concerning tuber
culin.
The best record of results has been
obtained in Paris, where It was practic
able to compare tbe experiences of two
hospitals. In tbe children's hospital
where, in the four years immediately
preceding, 3971 oases of diphtheria had
been treated, with a mortality of nearly
52 per cent, tbere were treated with
serum between February Ist nnd July
24tb, under the direction oi Dr. Koux
(whose memorable report at the Inter
national Congress of Hygiene, in Buda-
Pesth, last September, excited ho much
interest) 448 patients, with a mortality
of only 24., per cent. On the other hand,
in the neighboring Trousseau hospital,
during thesame period, 520 patient! were
treated in the ordinary way, with a mor
tality of 60 per cent. After the cases in
each hospital are analyzed and classi
fied, tbo advantage is shown as clearly
with respect to the subdivisions as it is
in tbe totals. Since this record was
made, tbe use of serum in the Trous
seau hospital bas reduced the mortality
there from 50 to 24 per cent. In Berlin
the results were even more encouraging.
In one hospital where the mortality —
in three years, with 1081 case? —had
been about 40 per cent, in five months
19-cases were treated with serum, with
» morality of only 14 per cent. As
death was inevitable in 23 of those cases
when they were admitted to the hos
pital, the subtraction of these leaves
169, which showed a mortality ol
per cont. Cases in other Berlin hospit
als added to tbe 192 made a total of
274 co treated, which show a mortality
of lo 1 -j per cent. Tho serum was also
administered to 130 children who bad
been exposed, but in whom the diseaso
had not appeared, and in only two of
these the disease aftorward eppotirod,
and then in a mild iorm..
Prof. Ebrlich has published a table
showing the results in 163 cases, with
especial reference to the element of
time. Of six cases treated on the first
day, none was fatal; of 63 treated on tbe
second day, 64, or 97 per cent, were
cured ; ol 29 treated on tbe third day, 25,
or 86 per cent, were saved ; of 39 treated
on tbe fourth day, 30, or 77 per cent,
were cured, but the mortality in 23
cases treated on the fifth day was nearly
one-half.
Some of the members of the Republi
can state executive committee express
astonishment tbat there conld have
been gross frauds in the count for gov
ernor in San Francisco if all the election
officials, as they were led to believe,
were appointed by Registrar Evans,
Dan Burns' brother-in-law. This sur
prise, of course, only included Demo
cratic frauds. The rural members of
the committee are surely not so obtuse
in tbeir partisanship as to believe that
Registrar F.vans would Book to prevent
frauds on behalf of Republican candi
dates. The fact tbat Dan Burns worked
the wires of the Evans marionette
would preclude any such foolish notion
and the revelations already in evidence
in tbe senatorial district which J. H.
Maboney in ondeavoring to represent
ought to prove beyond all cavil that
Registrar Evans, instead of trying to
prevent fraud actually encouraged its
perpetration. Tbe only reason, as ex
plained to tbe country members of the
committee, that frauds were not more
prevalent, was because Dsn Barns'
brother-in-law did not have tbe ap
pointment of all the election officers.
AMUSEMENTS.
The Imperial.—The large audience
that invariably attends this house on
Sunday evenings was in evidence last
evening, and was unmistakably pleased
with tbe varied bill presented. George
Harrison, the cbaracter comedian.
Prince To To, the fine juggler, and the
Quigley brothers were well received.
Then came May Develliou, wbo can
not sing a little bit, but whose dancing is
as distinctly oriental as was that ol La
Belle Baya at the midwinter. Miss
Develliou docs not go to tho extremes of
wriggles and physical tremolos as did
Mdlle. Baya, bnt it is evident that she
could if she felt so inclined.
Wood and Martin gave a charming
banjo duet, and Russell and Ryder
gained the approval of tbe audience in
tbeir acrobatic skit. Goner and Grobel
aud Sanford nnd Rice give much amuse

•^riEDICAL^
DISCOVERY.
The invention of Dr. R. V. Pierce, chief
consulting physician to the Invalids' Hotel
and Surgical Institute, at Buffalo, N. V.,
has, during the past thirty years, made a
record in the cure of bronchial, throat and
lung diseases that fairly entitle? it to out
rank all other advertised remedies for these
affections. Especially has it manifested its
potency in curing consumption of the lungs.
Not every case, but we believe
Pllliy OS Per Cent.
of all cases of consumption, in all its earlier
stages, arc cured by Dr. Pierces Golden
Medical Discovery, even after the disease
has progressed so far as to induce repeated
bleedings from the lungs, severe lingering
cough with copious expectoration (includ
ing tubercular matter), great loss of flesh
and extreme emaciation and weakness.
Do you doubt that hundreds of such cases
reported to us as cured by "Golden Med
ical Discovery " were genuine cases of that
dread and fatal disease ? You need not take
our word for it. They have, in nearly every
instance, been so pronounced by the best
and most experienced home physicians,
who have no interest whatever in mis
representing them, and who were often
strongly prejudiced and advised against
a trial of "Golden Medical Discovery,"
but who have been forced to confess that
it surpasses, in curative power over this
fatal malady, all other medicines with
which they are acquainted. Nasty cod
liver oil and it? filthy "emulsions" and
mixtures, had been tried in nearly all these
cases and had either utterlj' failed to bene
fit, or had only seemed to benefit a little for
a short time. Extract of malt, whiskey,
and various preparations of the hypophos
phiteshad also been faithfully tried in vain.
The photographs of a large number of
those cured of consumption, bronchitis,
