THE sudden drop in the prices Of
hogs last week down to $500 per hun
dred is accounted for in the follow.
ing article, taken from the "Union
Stock Yards Circular" dated Satur-
day, which was shown us by enc Of
our prominent buyers here:
The STR,KE.-This is a free country. and
everyone has n perfect right to refuse to work
except at what he considers a fair remuncra-
ton. At the same time, when steady employ
ment is given, ard man can depend on Il req
ular seasons work. it would seem that fair
dealing all around would require men TO give
proper notice to employers of any change de-
sired by them IN the rate of wages.
In connection with the Union stock Yards
has been built ups surprisingly large trade in
the manufacture Of hog products. The extent
of this trade may bc plainly seen when we re-
member the weekly supply Of hogs marketed
here since the opening of the winter packing
season has averaged about 23o,0 GOO The ship
mcnts have averaged about 5000 so that
something like 2l5,OoO hogs have been taken
weekly ty Chicago huyers,-amost all for
packing. This is nearly $1,000 pounds per day,
of an average weight OF go pounds, and they
were selling Mt the time OF The strike ut an az
crsgc price of S2,i5 rcr hundred pounds, or
$50 per hog, Thus the local packing opera
tons Of Chicago requires daily outlay OF
$4,000. In addition VIC have the large surns
permanently invested in buildings. amounting
to millions o! dollars.
The men who have caused the present dis
,urbancc in this large trade number about Ao,
en- ployed MS scrapers, apd they have altogether
stopped trade that employed upwards OF a,OA
hands They knew when they were engaged
that it was for the season, and accepted the
wages offered of S2.75 per day. A, n mo-
men,'s notice they demanded 800 and quit
work a, once.

its OF the case as TO the adequate OF inadequate

CAPITAL No1XA

MADISON, Dee. III, 1913.
The city Is deep IN sorro~ ct the
death OF Prof. s. II. Carpenter Of the
State University, under tho follow
ing painful circumstances: About .
week ago the Professor received in
telligence OF the death, by diphtheria.
OF q nephew at Geneva, NY. A day
later q telegram from . neice called
him to the death of bis brother
at the Same place; and on Friday
came tho startling intelligence that
tie Professor himself had fallen q
victim to Tho fell destroyer. The
remains will be brought here for
interment.
Preparations for the approaching
Legislative session are keeping the
employees of the Sup. Of Public Prop.
erty busy. Fresh paint, new furni-
ture and general renovation give
the Capitol q brighter appearance
than for several years past. The
session is not expected to be . long
one, AS there seems little to be done
save the election Of Senator /; but if
the members don't find enough TO
occupy them, (of good and lily for
so to 60 days they must be wiser
than the average Legislators.
The Senatorial question see''s
here to be much DISQUALIFICATION
being enthusiastic for Boss Reyes,
we naturally hear bis name oftenest.
Fortunately, however, Madison does
not always reflect the sentiment of
the State, and there is no certainty
that she does so in this matter. Howe
aud Carpenter are both; active, and
| have strong hopes that the
will see the danger OF
either of the trio, aud will
award the prize to such man as
Horace Rublee, who is free from the
many serious objections which at
tach about equally to the others.
We believe that the election of
Rublee will have greater effect in
retaining and strengthening the con-
idence Of the people in the Repub-
lean party, than any action possible

PATONS OF HUSBANDRY.
CALIFORNIA STATE GRANGE.

We have been a spectator of many of the
discussions on proposed constitutional
amendments that have taken place in the
present session of the grange, and while q
few crude and impractical ideas have been
advanced, the prevailing sentiment has been
eminently practical and conservative. The
sentiment of the grange of this State, when
properly understood and interpreted, Is the
sentiment of permanently, of substantially,
of sobriety. They want intelligence, hon
esty and virtue to be represented in the
exercise of the elective franchise, and a
very large majority of the members believe
that the social, moral and financial condi
ton of the people would be improved. by
extending the right of suffrage to women.
In the matter OF taxation, they believe that
all land of equal productive capacity, wheth-
er in small or large bodies, should be taxed
equally, and that all property should bear a
uniform and equal burden for the support
of the government, whether in the hands Of
the RICH or the poor.
In the matter Of labor, the grange, or the
better grange sentiments, is to prefer the
labor of citizens or those who by orr laws
can become so-but in the laborer they want
honesty, reliability and effectiveness; but
when they cannot obtain these qualities
among white laborers, they reluctantly en-
ploy Chinese, and maintain their right to do
SO on the grounds OF self-protection and the
protection and improvement of their prop
crty.
The grange regards whisky drinking and
stock gambling as the two greatest evils and
drawbacks to the agricultural sections and
to the agricultural advancement of the
State, and believe that these evils should be
checked by the law-making power-if need
be the fundamental law of the State-and
look to the convention now in session for a
guarantee of such laws as wig check and
suppress them.-Sacramento Record.
