MILUON8 FOR 8AN FRANCI8CO.
In yesterday’s Hersld we referred
to the great heart of the American
people which never falls to respond to
the cry of distress, and to how the
well -springs of sympathy are opened
wide when misfortune or devastation
lays heavy hand upon some commun
ity In our common country.
And today we are reminded by the
great mUfortune that has been visited
upon San Francisco that our country
Is much richer and better able to give
tl^hn It was thirty-live years ago.
The Chicago relief fund amounted,
all told, to about $5,000,000.
For San Francisco there has been
raised more than double that amount
In five days, and systematic collection
has Just begun.
And at the time of the Chicago dis
aster we were thankful to get help
from England; now we are neither
asking nor expecting any foreign aid.
Then the South had not recovered
from the poverty into which the en
tire section was hurled by the Civil
War; while today no part of the coun
try Is contributing more liberally to
the San Francisco relief fund.
The truth Is, our entire country Is
much richer than It was thlrty-flve
years ago, and It Is not unreasonable
to believe that we are more generous
ns a people.

.Our telegraphic dispatches have
made only brief reference to the cele
bration in .Philadelphia this week of
jthfe bi-centennnry of Presbyterianism
. . in: the United States. Two hundred
ye&rs ago the first presbytery was or
ganized in Philadelphia, and for a long
tlnie that city was the recognised
H headquarters of Presbyterianism in
||
this country. But the country has
'grown so large and the Presbyterians
C hare spread themselves over It
tnorqughly that the City of Brotherly
I-ove »can no longer claim' the same
; {relative pre-eminence; yet the city
where the General Assembly was so
long in the habit of meeting annually
i must always be regarded by Presby-
-.terlans with affection as the early
le of their communion. There are
tent speakers in Philadelphia this
sk to tell of the achievements of
years of Presbyterianism.

PROTECTING THE WOMEN IN SAN
FRANCI8CO.
A presB dispatch from San Fran
cisco says that the soldiers on guard
in Golden Gate Park, where most of
the refugees are campoj, shot and
killed a riumbet- 'of mrin who had been
attacking wdinen. No mercy was
shown these bruteB. In every case
they wore shot down without parley.
A terrible example was made of one
of these fiends. Two guards attracted
by the piercing Bcreams of a young
girl, caught the man, and between
them led him to n corner of the park
free from shrubbery. (There with bay
onets ready to run him through, they
compelled him to dig a grave.
That grave, he knew, was his own.
As he finished, each of the soldiers
brought his rifle to his shoulder and
fired. The man stumbled forward Into
the grave, shot twice through the
henrt. He was burled on the spot and
a wooden tablet placed there to worn
others of u like fate.
All night long marauders skulked
about the business section of the city.
A number of men were caught In the
act of trying to rifle the safes and the
ruins of Jewelry shops. The soldier
guards fired two volleys. Every one
of the thloves died In their tracks.
The steel buildings In Sun Fran
cisco stood not only the earthquake,
but the fire, with but little damage,
It 1b said that the mint and the post-
ofllce are but little damn jed and sev
eral privately owned buildings only
suffered from fire In the Interior. In
this fact, perhaps, there lies the prom
ise of really fireproof cities in the fu
ture, but private prudence and munici
pal supervision should combine to se
cure Hre-reslstlng construction In fu
ture buildings without waiting for
general devastation.
It may be expected that the groat
catastrophe at San Francisco will
bring about some perturbation In the
money market. The sudden draft on
the resources of the Insurance com
panies—both foreign nnd domestic—
falling contemporaneously with the
heavy borrowing of Russia, will be
sure to create financial disturbance
nnd possible stringency. There ig,
however, no apprehension of panic.
The general condition of trade and
industry Is on too solid and secure a
footing to be readily disturbed.
KEEPING THE RECORD STRAIGHT.
From the Savannah News.
In some of his speeches, Hon. Hpke
Smith is saying that Col. Estill, tho
South Georgia candidate for governor,
visited Atlanta .and appeared before
the Railroad Commission and objected
to any reduction in railroad rates. The
distinguished gentleman, ,who is. or
was, tho attorney for the. Atlanta
Freight Bureau, hasn't told all he
knows about Col. Estill and his oppo
sition to the reduction in railroad
rates; and a story half told often cre
ates a wrong Impression.'
The facts In the case are that Col.
Estill, as president of the Savannah
Chamber of Commerce, with other
members of that respectable and con
servative organization, went before the
Railroad Commission and opposed the
proposition to reduce freight rates by
which Atlanta would have secured an
advantage over Savannah and all oth
er cities of the state.
Some time ago the jobbing cities of
the state outside of Atlanta witnessed
another attempt to Injure thetr trade
In the special favors dealt out to At
lanta In stove rates for the benefit of
Atlanta, and Its one stove manufac
turer, at the expense of every other
Jobbing city of Georgia. The attorl
nCy-general admitted the gross dis
crimination of the Railroad Commis
sion In favor of Atlanta and after the
case was carried into court, the fa
vored rates granted to Atlanta were
extended to other Jobbing cities of
the state. This was the fight made by
Col. Estill; as president of the Cham
ber of Commerce; not, as Hon. Hoke
Smith would have some believe,
against reduced rates, but against
special favors and discriminating rates
In favor of Atlanta.
The South Georgia candidate also
opposed, and still opposes, the propo
sition by which Atlanta, through a
reduction In railroad rates, would be
able to drive out of business every job
bing house south and east of her In
the state, among them being those of
Albany, Americas, Bainbrldge, Colum
bus, Cordele, Douglas, Dublin, Fitzger
ald, Macon, Thomasvllle, Quitman,
Valdosta, Waycross, etc. •
Col. Estill Is not the only one who
opposes this cheeky project by which
some of Atlanta's merchants propose
to secure a monopoly of the Jobbing
trade of the state. The cities and
towns whose interests have been
threatened have taken notice of the
matter. Much of this may be news to
those who have not followed the ac
tivity of the Atlanta Freight Bureau
and Its attorney, Hon. Hoke Smith.
The latter Is so provoked because the
Railroad Commission refused to agree
to his project to transfer all trade to
Atlanta that he 1 has promised to re
move Commissioner James M. Brown
in the event of his election to the gov
ernorship. A petition three times pre
sented to the Railroad Commission,
and as often denied, tells the tale of
Atlantas’ persistent effortn to profit at
the expense of the rest of the state.
When Railroad Commissioner Jos.
M. Brown, an Atlanta man, was ap
pointed it was expected that he would
do everything he consistently could
for Ills home city. But when Atlanta’s
unfair proposition for special favors
came before Commissioner Brown he
replied In effect; “I can’t do It; I am
a railroad commissioner of Georgia,
not of Atlanta.”
When the merchants of the city of
Griffin proposed a horizontal cut of 25
per cent. In freight rates Atlanta re
fused to co-operate, on the ground that
she didn’t want to share with any city
In reduced rates. Atlanta wanted es
pecially low rates for herself, and her
self only.
It would require pages of a news
paper to go Into details with respect
to Atlanta’s efforts to secure unfair
advantages over other Georgia towns
and cities through discriminating
freight rates. And Mr. Smith Is, or
was, the attorney of the organization
that exerted Itself to tear down other
Georgia towns for the benefit of At
lanta.
The South Georgia candidate neither
personally, nor as president of the
Chamber of Commerce, nor through
the medium of his newspaper, ever
said that the railroad rates were just
or unjust, but ho has always advocated
the principle of law under which the
railroad commission was established,
which Is based In even-handed justice
between the roads and tho people. Un
der the law there arc no favored cities
and towns. Atlanta Is entitled to what
every, other city Is entitled to, and
nothing more Or less, the Hon. Hoke
Smith to tho contrary notwithstanding.
Tho South Georgia candidate believes
in and insists upon a square deal for

European. Jfu Jltan,
A French tehclier of boxing points
out that on art of self defense approx
imately equivalent to jlu Jitsu was
known In Europe In the seventeenth
century. Its principles are expounded
in a work by one Nicolas Peters, pub
lished at Amsterdam In 1074 and bear
ing the lengthy explanatory title: "The
art of wrestling and how one can pro
tect oneself in all kinds of quarrels
that may occur; how one can with agil
ity -und rapidity repel all unfair at
tacks and meet one’s adversary with
science." The work Is Illustrated. The
author apparently anticipated many of
the characteristic grips of the Japa
nese exponents of today.
A tale of horror was told by marks
of human blood in the home of J. W.
Williams, a well-known merchant of
•Bac, Ky. He vwrites: "Twenty years
ago I had severe hemorrhages of the
lungs, and was near death when I be
gan taking Dr. King’s New Discovery.
It. completely cured me and I have re
mained well ever since.” It cures
Hemorrhages, Chronic Coughs, Set
tled Colds and Bronchitis, and is the
only known v cure for Weak Lungs.
