Grng Logic

D y"
| There is a legion of the grog- mind
ed who assume that the best thing for
the State is to leave every form OF
wickedness alone. Those who argue
that we have no right to restrain or
prevent the sale Of poisons, are natu
rally opposed to preventing prostitu-
Ition or polygamy. OF course they
are by sequence equally opposed to
preventing the circulation of obscene
journals and counterfeit currency. y
We are at a loss to know upon what
principle they found their notion of
the paramount utility and impunity of
CRIME, unless it be in libertine con-
eeption of the law Of supply and
demand, which, we submit, is very
good tree-trade doctrine as argued by
certain Democratic journals.
THUS, the supply OF polygamy and
crime generally will be regulated by
the demand for it; and SO, in the
Opinion of our sophists, the natural
law will govern the ease. But has
Ilt ever struck our contemporaries that
wholesome prevention is part OF the
supply and demand, and the moment
we cease to make a moral effort at
public progress, that moment we are
guilty of public crime? Society is
responsible for its drunkards. and
the same law that impeIs us to take
down the gallOws excites our con
sciences against the rum-shopl 1t is
just as impertinent to declaim against
the gallOws, or against any form of
robbery in our City Governments
another mood, we take it, of the gen
eral inebriation of wickedness-as
against the rum dealers who pour out
so much distilled and concentrated
crime and States Prison at so much |
per glass. Cheap, is it not-this way
of maintaining prisons and aims
houses?
Prophet Brigham, who speaks to
Gentle Trumbull, knows a trick of
worth two of the other.
Congress-" he says, sought to have
made law compelling the master to
treat his slaves well, and then l be-
Iieve it would have been better than
to abolish it, Who could not guess
that st. Brigham entertained Just such
IN opinion ofSlavery? Now, suppose
we pass law compelling Brigham to
-reat his wives well, and still not
lbolish them? 1t would be as easy as
rum, and, we may add,
We should have polyg-
lmy on hand to order, only licensed. Il
L is true that we cannot eradicate
or crime of any kind by
tatute. Thieves will break through
md steal though we paddock our
reasures, and sinners will creep thro'
,ey holes. But it is our ordinary ,
,olice duty to society to protect it /
rom nuisances. We have no more
light to keep our streets filled with {
Walking pestilence than naturally we '
ave to have bad cutters. We can l
lot utterly abolish the house of sin
md shame, but we can prevent it ,
rom fiaunting it's scarlet wickedness
II the faces Of our children. D. In a
word, we can protect society, restrGin
commerce between the good and
rad, and not aid by every means in ,
'ur power the free trade between the |
and his victim.--Nelo York i
Tribune. /

The Japanese in CalifOrnia-Their
Settlement-Silk and Tea Culture.

The japanese settlement is situa-
ted on the Georgetown stage road,
four and half miles from Placer
vile, EI Dorado county. The land
purchased comprises 600 acres under
fence, Il large orchard OF seven year
old trees, $4,000 bearing vines and
string OF farm neeessaries too nu-
meIous to mention. The Japanese
obtained the whole for $4,000, the
reason being that the district Is at
present little isolated and apart
from civilization. Bat as the Japan
ese will go in principally for silk and
tea culture, transportation will not
be an item of consequence to them
The settlement IS to be known by
the name of Wakamatz. Each fam
lily will have cottage and garden.
Mulberry trees and tea plants will be
allotted to each. The silk and tea
obtained by each family will be de
livered at the main factory and pay
ment made therefor There will be
an extensive nursery tor the eultiya-
tion and sale of Japanese trees, suit
able to our State, such as bamboos,
tea plants, wax trees, etc. The BAN
bOos, besides their multifarious
uses, are said to be excellent, when
Young, as vegetable for the table
The young sprouts combine the vir-
tues of the artIchGke and asparagus,
and are more marrowy and delicious
than either. Tea of great purity
will soon be an item of California
export, and with it the ''China oif'-
the produce of the tea nut, one Of the
cheapest known burning oils. The
wax tree, which yields both varnish
and oil, is said to be well adapted to
cur foot hills. TO get the wax, the
nuts are mashed and boiled, the wax
then separating. The varnish is, OF
course, tie circulating iluid of the
tree, as turpentine is of the pine
The varnish tree of Japan resembles
our white walnut tree. As
there are oaks On the estate obtained
by the Japanese the attempt will he
made to raise the oak leaf silkwOrm
This worm is less particular than any
other in its food, and yields silk
line and elastic and of grayish col
or, and is therefore usually made upI
as it stands.--SaR Francisco Letter

Sectarianism.


There is great deal of cant and
nonsense talked about sectarianism.--
IL is often imagined that. if man is
fond of his church, he is a sectarian.
You might say a man is sectarian if
he likes his own house and family
better than any other in the same
street. The man | call sectarian, is
the man who is not contented with
the blessings of number one in the
street, but who is always throwing
stones or mud at number two; who is
not content with his own wife and
family, but who talks and gossips
about another mans family. Give
me the man who has honest, earnest
conviction about his own church, and
l extend to him the right hand of
fellowship. Love your church, and
do all you can for it; but try and i'm
agine, at the same time, that other
men are as conscientious as you are,
and give them the right hand of fel-
lowship when they do all they can for
their church.-N0rma1a Macleod.

Democratic "Halfcuts'

This is the euphOnious title which
Vallandigham applies to Democrats
who now run for office. He says that
very frequently, in Ohio, success hal
been to their option if they had gons
boldly forward and nominated, every
time, men who opposed the war, in
Instead of War Democrats. Instead
OF ta,liaS the tide at its flood, how
ever. the self-appointed leaders have
conciliated the Republicans till there
is Othing lett of the old party. anu
now there is no chance of success
except by nominating these men OF
two faces whom he happily styles
''half-cuts." Hear how he talks: u.
Alter this there could be no hone
OF any more Democratic victories
pure and simple. Tue Democratic
leaders cou,d no longer trust each
other, and the masses OF Democracy
no longer had confidence in their
leaders. Experience has proved
that there could be no success to the
party except through the audacious,
and therefore obnoxious, men of the
party; aud to such men success
meant an order to the rear to guard
the hospitals and the baggage. Moth
ing remained, therefore, but TO ac-
cept the situation and turn it to
some account. Ii policy was
good thing, why not go far enough
to make it avail something2 If Re-
publlcans were to be silenced, con
ciliated, Why not do it efiectually 2
III "Odious" men were to be set back
and suppressed for that purpose, was
it either fair, just or profitable to do
it in favor OF men who were just as
''bad," but not as bold as they-men
who, lacking the courage to speak |
out and act their sentiments and |
purposes as "Peace men and Cop
perheads," without commanding the |
same fear and respect, and incapable |
Of gaining, using or main tanning
victory over their adyersarIes
The case was plain. The earnest,
honest men of the Democratic party |
would naturally prefer front seats,
iiong with those who had been out
and-Out war men and s'loyalists" du-
ing the war, but with whom they
agreed now, or even no seats at all,
% ''back seats" with the Democratic
ialf.cuts at the front. Thus necessi-
y was not only the parent of inven
ion, but of wisdom as in this case
t will be finally of success tosthe
'arty and the cause upon the new
md living issues of the day.

FEARFUL DEATH OF You've
WIFE.-The wife of Hezekiah Green
lee, of Mason county, West Virginia,
was instantly killed under the fol-
lowing circumstances: In company
with her husband, she was returning
home by a near path through the
woods from a neighbours, where her
husband had been at work during
the day. They were walking hand
in hand, not dreaming of any dan
ger, when a dead tree they had Just
passed, suddenly fell, brushing the
shoulder of Greenlee and striking his
wife on the top of the head, crushing
her to the earth in one solid mass,
breaking every bone in her body, so
that her remains could not be recog-
nized as that of a human being.
Strange to say, Mr.. Greenlee was not
injured in the least, further than be-
ing stunned for few moments. The
evening was calm one, and it is
supposed that the tree, which was
rotten at the roots, gave way from it's
weight. Mrs. G. had been married
a little more than six weeks.

They have been three years boring
an artesian well near St Louis. The


depth reached is 1882 feet, or only
I3S feet less than three-fourths of a
mile. But no pure water has been
reached at that depth, and it is now
proposed to plug the hole up and
lose $50, 900, the cost so far. The
boring was done at the rate of about
thirty feet per month. The artesi an
well at Grenoble, in France, is one
of the most famous in the world, and
was begun in 1888, with the expecta-
ton of reaching water at depth of
not more than twelve or fifteen hun
dred feel. In 1S4l, at a depth of
1,793 feet, water was at last found,
and has flowed ever since at the rate
of five hundred thousand gallons in
twenty-four hours. There are nu-
merous wells in other parts of Eu
rope and also in this country, but the
deepest one in the world, except that
now under consideration, is at a
sugar refinery at st. Louis, begun in
the spring of 1910, and continued
until 1854, when the work stopped
at the depth of 2, 1SS feet. The sup
ply of water procured is compara-
lively small in quantity, and strongly
impregnated with sulphur.

PAPER PettieOdts.
From the Albany Argus


An exchange says the use to which
paper can be put seem TO be in no
way exhausted yet. Paper collars
have become a great fact OF the nine
teenth century, but what will ladies
say to paper pettieoats These have
been produced with great success,
and will rival in every way the snow
white aud elaborately ornate gar
ments poor male mortals are accus-
toned to look upon with fear and
reverence. We have all heard of the
artist who is said to make caricatuIes
of his friends upon his shirt collars,
and the author who inscribed an epic
upon a couple OF dozen of the same
useful article of attire. Thus we see
a field Of great usefulness for the
petticoat for the future. Young Ia
dies can make sketches from nature
on their own petticoats- Every dam
sci her own sketch book will be their
motto. Poets can inscribe sonnets
to their mistress ankles round the
hem of of their petticoats- Mothers
can have fairy tales, alphabets and
small scholastic works inscribed ON
their garments snd so instruct their
children as they walk about with
them. Fancy the announcement,
MADAME Pereale begs leave to call
the attention of the ladies about to
visit the seaside to her new and
richly embroidered petticoats at one
each. Each petticOat con-
tains an installment of new novel |
Of great domestic interest, by Mr.. |
Anthony Trollope, entitled sTucks
Or Frills' The story will be CON-
plete in fifty weekly pettieoats."-
There is no reason, whatever, why |
journalism should not be represented |
in this way. For example, the Dai-
~ Peticodt, a journal for ladies'; or
.ae weekly Pingfors and Girls Ga
ssite.
