In dealing with thia subject more regard must be had for present conditions than for past grievauoen. liecolleotiou of the credit mobilier and other unjust manipula tions should not overbalance the eober bueineßß thought of today or outweigh oonsiderationß and conditions obtaining at the present time." After d scueaing various meaau.ee of making secure the government indebt edness on the Union Facilio, the report says: "Another course seems to have been left open by the government under tbe sixth section of the aot of 1862, which provided that the grants were made upon the oondition that the com pany should pay tbe subsidy bonds at maturity. Thia ia a condition subse quent, and for a breaoh of tbe same the United Statoa may, at the maturity of the debt, proceed to forfeit tbe charter of the company, and wind up ita busi ness tbrough a receiver and take its chances for a recovery of whatever por tion of the debt it may he able to ob tain.

AN ALTEENATIVB. In ja«e of the failure of theae plana, they 'Higgeefc that the only alternative wot. 1 seem to be to refund tbe Union Pacific debt for a conaiderable period of a rate of interest commensurate wit i the earning capacity of the road. "This," aays the report, "is the plan which has tbo most favor with finan cier!! and those who have given the subject much attention." Aa to tha period for which tbe debt should be extended, and with respect to Ihe rate of interest, no special recommendation ia made. "Tbat," eaye tbe report, "will be a matter for future adjustment, when the details of the plan shall be more fully developed. At present our recommendations will be confined gen erally to the matter of refunding of ths debt for ench a period, and at snob a rate ot interest as shall suable the company, under ordinary circumstances and busi ness conditions, to meet the current In tereat and a portion of tha principal of the debt each year, so tbat at tbe expi ration of tbe period for which the exten- Bion is granted tbe debt may be wiped out. In this srrßngernant two place have been suggested: Firßt —The continuance of the sinking fund and toe payment into it cf a larger chare of the not oaruipga than ate at present paid into it.

CAUGHT 'mm NAPPING. LEGISLATIVE COMMITTEE MAKES A SiiY VISIT. The Home for Adult Ulinti In a Bud Condition*— A Hurprli* for the Emptoyotafea ■ Sam Francisco, Jan. 26.—Two com dittoes from the assembly made a visit to the home for adult blind at Oakland today. The employees cf the institution were taken by sur prist. Tha haoie was thoroughly inspect ed and found ia a moat uneiUin'aclory condition. The public sitting room in the langucgo ot -.iK of ths committee was "not fit (or a pig»peu. Dirt abounded everywhere. The sanitary conditiona wers wretched and a menace to the health of the inmates, who are poorly fed and badly treated," The oommittse cannot understand how past appropriations have been expended. The superintendent ie John Sanders, a blind man. The home asks for another large appropriation at this aeeaion of the legislature, but it ia probable that the committee will reuom iaend tbat the buildinga be cold and new onos erected on a Bito to be chosen at some future time. The committee also visited the deaf, dumb and blind institution at Berkeley and found everything in a moat satisfac tory condition. "One of tbe beat man aged inatitutions of the state," was the comment of one of the committee. RAILKOAD LEGISLATION. Laws Adopted by Various States Ksg-o latlns Transportation. The legislature of South Carolina, which has just adjourned, passed a hill prohibiting the consolidation of competing railroads, the law to go into effect on March Ist next. It con tains tho usual provision against lenses, merg ers, etc., etc. The (ieorgia legislature has passed a law prohibiting the running of freight trains on Kunday except to carry perishable freight. Tho number of proposed laws is quiie numerous. The legislature of Colorado has instructed its senators at Washington, aud requested Ihe representatives of the state there, to urge con gress to appoint a single "independent" re ceiver for tho Union and Central i'ncilic rail roads. Tho same body lias before it n resolu tion appointing a conimitteo of inquisition to find out all about tho railroads of the stato, how much they cost, what they aro earning, etc. The items named in tho resolution are similar to those of tho Texas law which re quires the railroad commissioners to ascertain the cost of ovcry railroad, etc. The Indiana legislature has before it a sweeping measure to prohibit the acceptance or uso of railroad passes oystate otlieers under penalty of a heavy fine and forfeiture. The report says that the bill will havo a rough road, as nearly every member has a pass. .Senator Shearer of Kansas has presented a bill to increase the duties of the board of railroad commissioners, and to change the name of that body. I'opresentativo Gardcnhiro has presented a bill providing that any county, stale or district ufflccr who receives an annual pass from any railroad company, shall register it with the secretary of state, who shall keep a public record of such passes. If any officer accepts a pass and does not havo it registered, he shall be punished by lino or Imprisonment, or both. Conductors aro re quired to tako up passes not bearing the certif icate of the secretary of slate, and a failure to do so subjects tlicm to line and imprisonment. In Illinois a bill has been introduced provid ing for a stale board of arbitration. In Minne sota there is a propositiou to tax tho equipment of sleeping oar companies and telegraph lines. In Missouri Mr. Phlppsof Kansas city proposes that the rate for sleeping ear berths be limited to #1 a night. Mr. Fitzgerald of New York has presentod a bill authorizing cities to contract for transportation of policemen and firemen, lv the Pennsylvania legislature there is a bill to prohibit tho consolidation of competing pipe lines, another to prevent tha formation of trusts, and one to prevent tho use of railroad trackß as public highways, Pata i,r the Fsnaar, Fred Perry Powers. The American larmer has long held a place greatly above that of tho peasant of continental Europe iv his income and stylo oi living, be cause ho has been able to possess a l.irgor trsct of land, and greatly above tho English tenant farmer in his independence, becauso he has been able to own tho ground that he tilled. He will not continue another half century to hold this enviable position. The economic forces that have boon at work in Europe have also been at work here, but not so long, aud therefore they have not matured so much fruit. Thero have been Americans who imagined that our polit ical constitution would protect us from the fate of tho old world. It would bo as rational for a man to expect his knowledge ot arithme tic to keep him dry iv a thunderstorm. Somellines we find the American fsrmer slipping away from his acres, and sometimes wo find his acres slipping away from him : as a result of both tendencies there is a separation, widening witli tho lapse of time, between own ership aud cultivation. 'I he American farmer is following tho Kngllsh yeoman into extinc tion, and the creation of landlord and tenant classes lias already made considerable progress here.

JANUARY 27. 1895. NEW BOOKS. . , Homo rs fVlcux Sawinui) of the PRIVCR DR JOI.VILI.K: translated by Lady Macy Lloyd; Mc.Muliau A Uo, New York. For salo by Stoll Thayer. At thia time, when Francs has peace fully passed through a crisis, this charm ing volume of memoirs is particularly interesting, depicting as it does, a period in the history "ot that country fust'ante-' dating ite moat unhappy asoond dalli ance with iojporialiem. Tbe Prince de Joinville, a gallant eon of a monarch, who waa giveo too much to reasoning and too little to aotiou, takes his read ors into hia confiieoce and treats them with all tbe frankness and absence ol self-conaciouaneßS that should prevail between the most intimate friends. The description of hie journey to the United Statei is full of enjoyment. This waa hits first visit, for the volume does not bring his career to the date of the civil war, when he was a member of General McOlellan's staff, and distin guished himself by bis gallantry. This view of life in the states in tbe 30's and 40' ais cumulative evidence to the fact that Diokena' first '"notes" and Mrs. Trollope's famous tirade were aot en* tirely exaggerated. He notes expector ation as a national characteristic, and vividly portrays a number of obnoxious features which perhaps were then typi cal. But he ie not a prejudiced ob server and finds, royalist as be was, a number ol fine qualities and admirable tendencies, which gave him faith in the people and the government. Though tbe prinoe was a tvploal sailor, he was also possessed of an artistic appreciation which finds expression in many paragraphs about the more notable artists and act orß ol hiß time. A peculiar trait, evi dently evolved from his love of the sea, ie his openly expressed regard lor the English, evidently caneed by his ad miration for the maritime achievements of that nation. This, in a Frenchman, botokena exceptional breadth of rrind and a generous, mink nature. The frankness, in fact, of the royal author is often amusing to a degree. In one case he describea his extraordinary difficulty at a French colony on the Da homey coast which he visited in his ca pacity aa admiral. He went aahore and treated the black nabobs cordially and generoualy. He made euoh an impres sion upon them, in iact, that it was de cided they wished thia "petit roi," the eon of their far-away king in Paris, to provide them with a future ruler in whoße veins the blood royal should course. So all the belles ol the village, numbering several score, were collected and ottered to him. He says that on discovering the situation he made off with all possible epeed, Tbe style is colloquial, witty and inti mate, oharming to a high degree, and unconsciously the author depicts him- Beif and hiß character, with tbe same fidelity and joyousnesa that he does the scenes he baa visited and the people he met iv his journeyings in all quarters of the globe. .*• LOURDES, by Emile Zola, author of The Downfall, The Dream, etc. Translated by Ernest A. Uizettellyi cloth edition, $1.25. P. Tennyson Neeiy, Chicago. Foi sale by The A. W. Berry Stationery company, 120 South Spring street. It is undeniable that M. Zola has given in Lourdea a book of great value. Whatever hia faults, he is certainly con scientious and painßtaking, and this atudy oi the emotional side of re ligion is a monument of patient research and cloae obaarvation. He has chosen tbe narrative form, and the novel he has woven around the little town where miraoles are wrought is a model of oon struotion. The five days of tbe pilgrim age, during which the heroine is cured, give ample opportunity lor superb de scription—pictures of hopeless Buffering and religious exaltation, ol masses of incurables, of the humblest, tbe poorest and the unhapptest of mankind turning to tbe Unknowable with confident ex pectation. Some of theae descriptions are horrible—especially those of the train, with its revolting sick, and of the hospital—but every detail, however re pulsive, aida in perfecting a picture of buman Buffering that haunta the mind. Zola haa ohoaen a doubting prieat as the vehicle lor his obeervations, and thia young man, tortured by hia doubts, acoompsniea the pilgrima and tells to tbem, in that wagon filled with plaints and groanß, the atory of the virgin's ap pearance to Bemadette Sonbrionß, his thoughts accompanying the simple tale with the commentary of modern scien tific investigation. For he haa studied the subject for many years, and has gathered all the light thrown upon it by modern medicine and psychology. He knows that the cure of the young girl whom he aooompanieß was pre dicted by a physician, and understands the ground* whereon tbat prophecy is baed, Zola presents, throughout the story, theße two views aide by side— the belief in miracles aud tbeir explana tion by unbialieviug Boiarjiota. #** TUB WORLD ALMANAC. 1995: Pan Pub lishing company, Piv tzs* bull 'lag.

No eucyolopiedia treata of more eubjecta, and while tbe matter ia neceaaarily much nondenaed, all the essential facta that are needed in a book of reference can be found. It ia impoaaible to deal in detail with such a book in a limited apaoe, but, in brief, its quality can be gummed up aa being as near perieotion aa men's work ia permitted to be. Tbe chapter where the prieat begina the atory of tbe virgin's appearance at Lonrde's juatifies Mr. Lang's claim tbat Tola ia a romantioiat; itia tilled with myatic poetry —tbe Bong of hope that never forsakes for long the most misera ble.

Ho tells, also, of tbe erection of tbe basilica over the grotto and of tbe increasing flow of gold from the four corners of the plauet. He lakes the reader to the place where the health giving water is bottled without core in. ..,y or respect, and into the temple and tbe market-place. And in contrast with thia he shows tbe endless processions going up, day after day, year after year, with the hope of obtaining by divine grace what the princes of science have been unable to give. Then, too, come tne lassitude and despair when all ia over aud the invoca tions have proved in vain ; but hope de feats this doubt, and Ihe pilgrims return to their homes singing, confident tbat the supreme blessing will mrely oome at laat, Zola pronounces no opinion. As has been said, ha places side by aide the re ligious and the modern acientifio theory. Tbat wonderlnl oures have occurred Is beyond doubt, and he indicates ths mys rerio- p' H»o ""--r"- * " *| cine begins but now to understand; he shows that sordid side of Lourdes, which sprang into life with the unceasing influx of money with interest as to tbe duration of tbe popularity of tbis place of pilgrimage, which requires constantly new miracles to continue its pre-eminence as a source of grace. The book contains a summary history of Lourdes, compiled from all available sources, and adds a great deal of valuable-information .to our.knf/wledge of the emotional element in religion, and oi its powerful effect upon tho ignorant and the suffering. It is an extrsmsly clever and impressive book. RECORD OF THE WOMAN'S COVORE3B AT THE CHICAGO WORLD'S FA R; edited by Mrs. May w rioht Skwai.l Two volurueß. For sale by the King Publishing company of San Francisco and Los Angeles. The World's Congress of Representa tive Women ia tbe title ot tbe only com plete and authorized report of that very remarkable gathering held ia Chicago. The meetings were held under the au apicea of the World's Congress auxiliary, and they surpassed in interest and value even tbe expectations of their organiz ers. Prominent women from all parts of the world, representing tbe best achievements of their sex in every branoh of educational, aocial and reli gious work, took part. The story of what was done in this remarkable as sembly has been told in two handsome volumes, profusely illustrated, and edited by Mrs. May Wright Bewail, chairman of ths eomraittes on organiza tion for the congress. Some idea of the broad soope and in tention of the congress can be bad by mentioning a few of the speakers and tbe subject! they discussed. The Kindergarten as an Eluoatlonal Agency aud Its Relation to Manual Training, by Mrs. Sarah B. Cooper oi San Franciaoo, oannet fail to aroaie in the mind ot every thoughtful parent aome solution for the oft repeated cry, ■What shall we do with our boya and girlB?" Practical ideas were also presented by Mrs. Kate Tupper Galpin, Mrs. Caroline M. Severance and Rev. Mila Frances Tupper of California. Under Science and Religion the masterly essays shows tbat women will lond large aid to bridge the chasm too long assumed to exist between science and religion. In Moral and Sooial Reform the papers presented by Julia Ward Howe. Eliza beth Cady Stanton and Mary H. Hunt are forcible and oonviucing. While the paper of Helen H. Gardner, of Mew York, on The Double Standard of Mor als, ia alone worth the cost of the book, and should be read by all. From a Dopular standpoint Ihe work baa been made very attractive by full page portraits of the moat prominent women who took part in tbe congress, with smaller pictures of over 150 partici pants. The volumes are printed on extra fine book paper and substantially bound. A DAMAGED PHYSICIAN. THE SAN FRANCISCO CHRONICLE SUED FOR LIBEL. Dr. Hearne or Baa Dii|o Alleges That HU Reputation Was Injured to the Kxtant or «100,000. Sam Disqo, Cal., Jan. 26.—Bait was instituted in tbe superior court ol this county today by Dr. J. 0. Hearne of this city against M. H. de Young, pro prietor, and J. F. Blunt, local corres pondent of tbe San Francisco Chronicle, on the charge of libel, alleged to have been committed on August 25th last, damages being asked in the earn of $100,000. The artiole with reapeet to which the complaint is made referred to tbe di vorce of Dr. and Mrs. Hearne and to their antecedents, and the demand for damages is baaed on an allegation that the matter published waa equivalent to charge that Hearne had been a party to an accessory to tbe murder of one A. J. Still well, tbe former huaband of Mrs. Hearne, at Hannibal, Mo., six years ago. Still well was a wealthy pork packer, whose mysterious murder has been a subject of continued inquiry by success ive grand juries of Hannibal. Mrs. Stlllwell was married to Hearne within a year afterward and was divoroed in August last in this oonnty. Her subse quent remarriage to Dr. Hearne still further complicated this remarkable case. Blunt, one of the partiea defend ant, is editor of the San Diego Union of this city. POLITICAL The official vote for governor of Texas, counted in joint session of the legislature, was reported as follows: Culbeison, Democrat, 207,107; Nugent, Populist, 152,731: W. K. Mauemson, Republican, 51,520; Schmidt, Lily While Republican, 502'J; Dunn, rrohibitionist, 2196; scattering, 107(5. The Democratic can didate was in a minority by 5382 votes. The Memphis Avalanche, Democrat, declares that the Caldwell bill, providing for au inves tigation of the election in Tennessee before the counting of the official vote, which has been Introduced in the legislature, is "an instru ment in the hands of a legislative majority for counting out and swindling the man who was elected on the face of the returns." "One of the most hopeful features of the agi tation for reform in the consular service is the growth of public interest in the question," says tho Cincinnati Tribune, Republican; "and there is no doubt that the business men of our country are beginning to realize what a disad vantage they are at in the struggle for the conquest of the markets of the world, while our consular service is conducted on its pres ent basis." No address was delivered by Joshua 11. Mar vll on tho occasion ol his inauguration as governor o[ Delaware. A Philadelphia Record correspondent says: "Governor Marvll is un able to read, or even to write, turthor than to traco the lines necessary to mechanically form his name. The address will be submitted later to the two bouses of the general assem bly, alter tho manner of an executive mes sage." Tho St. Paul Plonoar Press (Rep.) pays the following tribute to Senator Carey, who has been repudiated by the Wyoming legislature because ho dared to vote for honest money In the senate, and would not buy a renomlnatlon by sacrificing his principles: "Senator Carey has honor d the Republican party by his course in public life, as he honors manhood by the reason ot his departure from it. The Republican party should avail itself ot the first chance to honor him. " "It Is mortifying, but not Inexplicable, that there should be talk among Republican legis lators at Albany o! squelching the Lexow In vestigation," says the Buffalo Express, Repub lican, which adls: "The practical politicians must be given to understand that the Repub lican party is pledgod, not only to reform the government of New York, but to punish every man who has been responsible (or mak ing it a sink of corruption To that end every department must be turned Inside out, and the power of removal must be put into the hands of Mayor Strong."

Ihe total was 9SOO, against 8615 ior 1893, 0701 In 189-2, aud 5906 In 1891. The causes assigned for these crimes are thus tab ulated : Quarrels 4536 lli'hw'ym'n klll'd 204 Unknown 1856 Strikes 179 Jealousy 812 Insanity 126 Liquor 776 Kelf-defonse 99 By highwaymen... 525 Outrage 49 Infanticide 340 Riots 25 Resisting arreit... 273 These figures show that 1894 was a year of bad blood as well as of bad business. Possibly the great increase was due in part to the small chance which the murderer stands of losing his life as the penalty for his crime. The legal executions during the year were only 132. or six more than for the previous year. Alabama led with 13 executions and Texas and Missouri executions occurred in the north and 1)1 in the south. In some slates capital punishment is not permitted, and that fact may account in part for the comparatively small showing for justica. As the matter stands at present the murderer lius about one chance in 74 of being hanged or electrocuted, while each person in the country has one chance in 0,033 of being murdered. The record shows that lynchings during the year were 190, or nearly 50 per cent more than the legal executions. The list of victims include 134 negroes and 58 white persons, Tho aouth is responsible for TOO of those crimes, and the north for 24. Georgia heads the list with 20, Mississippi is credited with 10 and Tennessee and Alabuma with 15 each. Bad as is this showing, it was exceeded by 10 in 1893. Suicides also show an lucrease, the total be ing 4912, against 4430 for 1893 and 33U0 for 1892. They are classified according to alleged causes thus: Despondency 1999 111 health 270 Unknown 1310 Domestic infelic- Insano 457 lty 241 Liquor 281 Disup'oint'd love 232 Business loties.. 122 The means employed included: Pistols, 1729; poisons, 1504; hanging, 720; drowning, 373; throat cutting, 347; starvation, 5. and dynamite, 4. Despondency takes the lead among the causes, but doubtless many classed under that head really belong in some of the otherdivisions, other causes giving rise to the despondent condition which prompted the self-murder. Any number of conclusions might bo drawn from these statistics, and without doubt Ihey will be made the basis of many th eories and suggestions as to remedies. The first and most reasonable conclusion is that in order to reduce the number of murders the chances for ade quate punishment iswt be increased. W»'--p*: tf ft *i«e «f the bv**C I o^tttg.
