Oi1r little namesake down at Sacra-
meu,o can't keep on the track. He pros
fesses to be the especial champion ct
the Workinemen, but he is about the
worst enemy they have. One dag last
week he undertook to reply to our arii
Gle of a fortnight ego. aud as he went
along, said:
There is nc more disgusting life t''aa
that on a large California ranch, with
no female secieiy, and Chineae caoks in

ingnan, Try ald elevate him ins. eoa Of
trying to iir1 excuses for his shorieom-
iugs. Give him some idea of the respen
sibili,ies of every man horn into the
-werld. Why, you would have them to
believe iLat they must expect beds of
down. readg made, wherever they tuyn-
ed, ard tAet i; was The duty OF somebo-
dy to furnish them. Tue Old hymn we
used to hear sung at the camps meetings,
msny years ago, is quctebie:
"Must l be carried to the skies
On howery beds Of ease,
Whilst others fight TO win the prize,
Aud sail through bloody seas?'
But our contemporary gets worse as
he goes along. and in the rext paragraph
says:
It is sad. sad state of affairs. and in>
dicates the impractical character of our
State Legislation. It's first care should
be for the comfort and happiness of its
people: Homesshould be provided for
them. ard they made satisfied witn
them.
The State must not only provide
homes. but it must make people salts
fed! Whenever they find fellow who
has got drunk because he has not had
enough of female society. or because he
has had to eat dinner cooked by Chi>
naman- whose wages some one else has
paid-take him up and give him good
home, and keep doing for him until he
is satisfied! If the females do not want
his ,ciety give them little wholesome
coercion! Nice doctrine.-Colusa Sun.
Wives, learn lesson from this.
The best cooked chop in Wash
ington is to be found at a gam
bling house. Keep your hus-
bands home.
Among the stories floating about in
London is one to the effect that the new
Lady Rosebeiy presented her husband
on their wedding day with box in
which. on opening il, he found check
for 81. 500 900.
