their rights successfully. The labor
ers of England, following she EXAM
pie of their brethren in the New
World, within the last few years hav-
ing fortified themselves by savings,
gained an easy victory over their en-
ployers, and the rate of wages in al
most all the great manufacturing in
dustries has been advanced to fair
er basis. 1t is the wealth of the la
boring class in California that gives
them their independent position, and
enables them to command good wages
The Savings Banks of this State hold
deposits of $73,OOO,OOO. The eighty
thousand depositers in these institu-
tions are laboring men, and are so
strongly fortified that they feel not
the power of the capitalist. The truth
is they are the capitalists when it
comes to ready money. While low
wages might be advantageous to par
ticular parties in many lines of busi-
ness yetit will scarcely be claimed
that the present condition of our COM
monwealth is not far preferable to that
of those States where there is liber-
al supply of ''pauper labor" Our
children instead of being brought up
in idleeness are taught habits of in
dustry and economy. The boys grow
up more useful men, and the girls
healthier women and better wives.

How Arizona Looks.

The following short article, from
the Arizona Citizen of the 18th, will
give our readers q better idea of the
great and rising Territory on our
South Eastern borders, than could
whole volumes of the usual descrip-
tive writing:
The popular notion years agone that
Arizona was II parched up section, is
being rapidly dispelled, and the sue
cessful growth of all sorts of vegeta-
bles and grains and domestic animals,
is acknowledged far and wide. Peo-
pie arriving from California, where
the grass is all gone and the earth
parched and cracked, are pleasurably
surprised at the dense growth of green
grass upon every side. Three-quarters
of Arizona is to-day covered with q
crop Of new grass. Stock is very fat
and the grasses here are good when
dry. But the fact is that rain falls
nearly every snonth in the year, and
in four to five 1t pours down every
week or two. July and August just
passed, have been noted for the fre-
quency of rains, several of which have
been regular "soakers.u

The Homicide OF Giles.

The San Bernardino Times of Tues
day has the following account OF the
killing of John Giles:
This morning, George Hall, son
of Col. Hall, the railroad contractor,
came into town and gave himself up
to the authorities. stating that he had
killed man by the name Giles af the
railroad camp, near the San Jacinto
mountain. He had an examination
before the District Judge and was dis
charged on the ground of self defense.
IF seems that the deceased GILES, who
is we'll known in this place, kept sa-
loon at the camp, and was not on good
terms with young Hall, who was also
engaged in the same business. Last
evening, about O'clock, Giles attack
ed him with a shot gun, when Hall
shot him instantly. From what we
can learn, Hall seems to have been
justified in doing what he did. Prob
ably coroner's inquest will be held
other facts may come to light. Hall
returned to camp this afternoon.
In Wednesdays issue we find:
Last evening the body of Giles, who
was shot at the railroad camp by
young Hall, was brought into town
by frieuds of the deceased for the pur-
pose of having an inquest held. Cor
oner Rogers found the body in such
an advanced state Of decomposition
that it could not be kept, aud he had
it buried at once. We learn that the
homicide occurred in San Diego coun-
ty From n II the facts which have
been stated by those who witnessed
the sad affair, it appears that Hall
was compelled to kill Giles to save
his own life. Several shots were fired
by both parties.

The laboring classes of New England
have before taught lessons to their fell
low laborers throughout the world,
and long since induced respectful re-

Middle States the issue has not been
exactly one between muscle and mon

Banks In these States hold about one
thousand million of dollars deposit,
belonging mainly to the lower and
middle classes, an amount greater
than the combined deposits of all the
National Banks in the United States.
Strange as it may seem the bulk OF

lacking" A Mother-in-Iaw.

Our prophetic soul long since whis-
pered that the proud genius of man,
that had conquered disease, chained
the winds, robbed the ocean Of its
strength, annihilated time and space,
and scared with the American Eagle
to the blue empyrean, would some
day invent an effectual safeguard
against mothers-in-law. We have
long had too exalted an opinion OF
the future of our race not 70 believe
that:
The typical mother-in-law;
With the terrible tongue and the flexible jaw;
With the eagle eye and avenging claw;
That tells OF all she heard and saw;
That has the habit of whispering loud,
And making 1t sultry for all the crowd.
would some day be shorn of her terror,
and become valuable member of So
ciety. It is true that all the efforts to
escape the iDfiiction for the six thous-
and years have proven abortive.
Neither time, nor space, nor light, nor
depth, nor disease, nor misfortune,
have heretofore availed the unfortu-
nate benedict. In wealth the mother
in-law clings to him with pathetic
tenacity, and the most wretched pov-
erty cannot drive her away. She de-
fies the perils of the deep, and the hor-
rors of the desert to reach MARY
JANE and console TOBIAS; and, worst
of all, in these days of telegraphy and
fast mails, unlike the gravity of the
heavenly bodies, her influence is not
inversed as the square of the distance.
Thank Heaven!a remedy has been
found to protect the peace of ToBrAs's
household. Indiana claims the honor
of having invented the patent "re-
volving," ''self loading" "back-ac-
tion'' divorce; and to her also belongs
the glory of discovering an improved
mother-in-law "gag." Mrs. HATTIE
RUSSELL of Indianapolis sues JAMES
H. RUSSELL for divorce. RUSSELL
crosses the plea, and calls in mother
in-law SIMMONS to answer to claim
for $1S0,0O0 damage for destroying the
peace of his home. Afflicted humani-
ty in every cline will watch the pro-
gress of that case. Let the judge who
presides consider well the vast i'm
portance of the question; let the jury
reflect that to their hands is commit
ed the happiness of thousands in every
cline. Not only do many centuries
gaze down upon them from the Pyra-
mids, but the fate of unborn millions
hang upon the issue.

Financial.

In accordance with announcement
in the HERALD, at ten o'clock yester-
day morning, the doors of the Far
mers and Merchants Bank were
thrown open for the regular transac.
tion of business. AS an evidence that
the financial depression so severely
feltin San Francisco has in no way
affected the credit of the Farmers and
Merchants Bank nor shaken the con-
fjdence of the people in the safety of
the establishment we may say that
yesterdays business shows deposit
of three dollars for every dollar drawn
out-the bank closing at four o'clock
with several thousand more coin than
it opened with in the morning. This
is gratifying showing and evinces

Commenced at Last.

"Now by st. Paul the work goes brave
ly on" The city authorities now seem
alive to the Importance ofpreserying
the health of the city by the proper
sanitary regulations. The Council at
its session Thrsday ordered the
slaughter houses, tanneries and hide
yards to remove beyond the municipal
limits within ninty days. This, how
ever, is not all that is necessary to be
done. The privy vaults throughout
the city are in shocking condition,
and are enough to breed pestilence.
Let the ordinance regarding these be
overhauled and enforced regardless of
all opposition. The property holders
are amenable to the law, and if they
refuse to obey its mandates let them
feel its penalties. Our city is grow
ing rapidly and the uncleanliness and
lack of system which has heretofore ex-
listed should be remedied. The health of
the community is of vast Importance,
and the "slipshod" management of
the past must give place to something
more in accord with the necessity of
the times. If the evil be suffered to
go on much longer the condition of
our metropolis will not be unlike the
stables of Old Augeas, requiring the
wa tiers ofa large river and the labors
of Hercules to cleanse it.

IT is said that Gen. SHERIDAN's S
visit to the Pacific Coast was due to
anticipated Indian outbreaks in the
Northwestern Territories. 1t is claim
ed that many circumstances point to
q general Indian outbreak having its
centre in the Black Hills, on the ap-
proach Of the next Spring, and it
therefore seems necessary to establish
strong military posts. This is plausi-
BILE but not probable. Little Phil is
the faithful henchman of GRANT and
his trip here doubtless has some hid
den object connected with future po-
litical movements.
