THE HERoIsM OF P ErER R APP

There died in Cincinnati, . few days
ago, man who richly deserves the hon.
or of martyrdom. HIS name was Peter
Rapp. He drove street car, was young
only twenty-six-and the sole support
of an aged and intirm father and mother.
The parents were unable to do anything.
He provided them with shelter, clothing,
food and fuel. His wages were 80 small
that after paying the bills of the house
hold he had nothing left for himself. He
could not buy either an overcoat or un-
dergarments to protect him from rough
weather. In order to go out with his car
at % every morning, be was obliged to
walk four and a-half miles. The rules of
the rules of the company forhidding the
employees to ride without paying fare,
when not on duty, forced him to walK
back every night. Thus, in addition to
his fifteen hours Of hard work, he had
daily walk of nine miles. For two
months he never spent a single cent OF
his earnings. All went home to his
mother. Continued toll, exposure, and
privation broke down his health. He
was attacked by quick consumption, and
died literally that his father and mother
might live.-St. Louis Rep

1t would be profitable to the business
men who still form some part of the
League membership to consider whether
it will pay Philadelphia and Pennsylva-
MIA to enlist in this new crusade of hate
and old memories against the people of
the South. Surely the making and SELL
classes of Phiiadelphla-men who must
make their calculations on facts, not fam
clful assertions-must realize that no iron
hand is needed to perform in the South
the functions which IL is the right of the
Federal Government to exercise. There
Is no district in the South where the pro-
cesses of the Federal courts do not run as
freely as anywhere in the North. Let
this be borne in mind and pitted in argu-
ment against the allegation that the
South is in rebellion, and the whole bot
tom is knocked out of the Grant move
ment. Grants candidacy is based solely
on the necessity for "strong man." II
the laws are strong enough OF themselves
any Executive whom the people may
choose will be strong enough to execute
them. That is all any President can do.

The Question Of Woods.


Every good farmer knows that to in
sure satisfactory crops his land must be
cultivated in the best manner, and If it
is so cultivated few weeds will be found
upon it. Sometimes, even upon WELL
managed farms, field here and there,
owing to adverse weather, shortness Of
hands, or rush of work generally, may
be neglected for few days and the weeds
may get start; but this happens rarely,
and an observing man can always judge
of the character of farmer by glancing
his eye over his premises. II the weeds
are not TO be regularly and Systematically
destroyed, the idea of conducting agricul-
tural operations profitably may as well
be abandoned, for the one Is incompati-
BILE with the other.
And even this Is more pointedly so
with the garden. Weeds and garden
crep are as antagODistic as life and
death. They cannot stand upon the
same platform. One must be master,
and 1t is for the owner to say which. If
garden is systematically worked-and
withot system no garden is worth having
the labor Of keeping down the weeds
is reduced one-haif. But let them once
get ahead, and they may be fought all
summer and prove victorious in the end.
Again, let no weeds 60 to seed; and do
not throw into the public highway such
as do, to be washed down upon the land
of your neighbors.
BONE DUST.
Many a poor fellow has worn out his
bones trying to work a piece of poor
ground but such bone application has
seldom resulted in large profits. Our
English friends have discovered that IL is
much better to use other peoples bones
IN these cases than their own, and the
bone trade Of England has assumed 81
gantic proportions. All the old battle
fields have been ransacked. and unless
report do them no injustice, many an old
fellow whose bones were supposed to rest
in some grassy daisy-flowered churchyard
would have to hunt some modern turnip
field to find all that remains of them.-
Foreign countries have not only to pay
tribute to England of their wealth du
ring life, but even their bones have tC
follow, in order to enrich the British
soil, as while living they worked to FL
British pockets. Australia sends al
enormous quantity of bones to England
1t has become such heavy trade tina
the article itself was found too light fo
profit. Science has been called in to EN-
able the ship-Owner TO take the SAM
weight in less bulk. The bones are frs
ground, then the dust mixed with SOM
substance which will give it just enougl
adhesiveness to make the particles sticl
together. Then the material put unde
heavy pressure in moulds about siz inch
es square, SO that it can be packed in tn
hold without any loss of space. One To-
Of this bone-cake measures only twenty
six cubic feet. OF course these bone
are all ofwild or domestic animals, bu

proposition that about fifteen pas
sengers are equivalent to ton OF
freight, on the average Of one hun
dred and forty pounds to the pas
sengef, and taking the present
passenger rates between San Fran
cisco and New York, we find that
the charge on human freight is at
the rate of about $3.50 to the ton.
Admitting that more expensive
accommodations are provided for
passengers than for freight and
livestock, the disparity is still
monstrous. The passenger really
gives very little trouble. He re-
quires no handling whatever, get
ting on and off the cars without
any assistance. We select the
transco influential railway for our
example because of its convenience,
but the principle holds good with
every railway In the United States.
Their passenger rates, as compared
with their freight schedules, high
as the latter may be, are dispro-
portionately great. There is no
good reason why railways which
earn extravagant sums yearly
should not begin to appreciate this
disparity. There is nothing COM
munistic or leveling about it, and
it is reform that is certain to
come in time. The freight which
handles and takes care of itself
ought to have fair treatment.

THE Chinese can evidently take
a hint quickly. The arrival Of
twelve hundred Celestials at Port
land in q bunch indicates that they
know that California is good
place for heavy ship-loads of Mon
golians to avoid. How many of
this multitude will quietly slip into
California, dozen or 80 in a squad,
would be an interesting thing to
know. No matter to what artifices
they may be compelled to resort to
divert attention from their move
ments, the Chinese are determined
to come here. We have not seen
In Oregon any signs of the agita-
tion which in California has made
our people of all parties practically
unit on the proposition that "the
Chinese must CO." At the rate in
which the moon-eyed leper is pour
ing into Portland now, however,
the question will shortly be very

road Company, and be succeeded
by Llyod Tevin. Governor Stanford
has been suffering for some months
past from blood poisoning, caused

his physicians has abstained almost
entirely from business affairs.
Considerable time nnust elapse be-
fore he will have fully recovered
his health. Mr.. Tevls went East a
fortnight ago In company with d.
o. Mills, and rumor has it that the
object Of their journey is to dispose
Of the Wells, Fargo Express to
Eastern capitalists in order that
Mr.. Tevis may be enabled to devote
his entire attention to railroad bus
iness. The rumor obtains addition
al credence from the fact that the
express company has for some past
been endeavoring to get its affairs
In % compact shape as possible by
calling in outstanding debts,
and generally putting its assets on
= negotiable basis.-S. f.. Post,

WE are not aware that any DEM
ocrat entertains the slightest idea
of influencing Gov. Irwin to take
any course of action other than
that suggested by that officials
sense of duty. The question as to
whether the hold-over Senators will
form a part Of the next California
Senate should be discussed in fair
and dispassionate spirit. If, under
the new Constitution, these gentle.
men are members of that body, the
sooner that fact is known the bet
ter, and any Journal or any man
that can throw any light on the
matter should do so at once. The
pettifogging in a question Of this
kind is in assuming your own side
of the debate to be the true one,
with not very we'll bred intima-
ton that those who differ with you
do not do it honestly. The HER
AID, purely in the Interest of full
and perfect understanding Of the
matter, has raised the question
thus early in order that it may be
determined at once and got out of
the way. The opinion may be rea-
sonably hazarded that what the
public wants-those who voted for
the new organic law as well as
those who opposed it's to know
the law and the facts. They do not
desire to impugn the motives Of
those who show a commendable
purpose to throw light on the dark
