Opium Smoking.

San Francisco is not of the opinion
that the article in the new Chinese treaty
prohibiting citizens of either country
from importing opium here, and vessels
flying the flag of either nation from
carrying it, will destroy the trade in this
article. Opium smoking, on the Pacific
coast, is not confined to the Chinese, for
American youths have acquired the
habit. Says one of the importers; "The
Chinese will get it, if it is on the top of
the earth"

LABOR MATTERS.

New York, June 26.-At nearly all OF
the trades-union meetings to-day it was
stated that the demands of the members
had been granted by the employers.
Since June the workingmen have de-
manded concessions of time in more in.
stances than an increase of wages. The
idea that workingmen should have a
half holiday on Saturday Is being prom.
inently pushed to a practical solution
here. The men who are managing the
movement are sanguine of success, and
even say that if the New York manufac.
turers will not concede this demand, the
mechanics who are anxious for the Sat-
urday half-holiday will follow the move
ment to other places. Those employers
who refuse to give their men half hol-
iday claim that the concession would
often place their business in jeopardy,
One large manufacturer said to O repor.
ter that large contract had been lost
by him because his men were taking q
half holiday Saturday. This prevented
him from completing the work as soon
as q rival firm whose men were working
sixty hours week. Other firms engaged
in the iron business say that where men
stop work at II Saturday the expense of
running the shops is nearly the same as
if the full day was used. The half holt
day men say, in answer to this, that in
the shops where the concessions had
been granted the employers were fully
satisfied with the amount of work done
and believe it is even greater than woulc
be accomplished by working the entire
week. According to vital statistics of til.
machinists of Great Britian the averag,
length of life has been increased nearly
ten years since the general adoption O.
the half-holiday system.

sEecHEa AS A LABOR REFoRmEe.

New York, June 26-In his sermon to-
day, Mr.. Beecher said that man cannot
be trusted with too much money. The
development of wealth at this time is
greater, more extensive in scope than
ever before. The country is now con-
fronted with o combination of wealth
such as has never before been equaled.
"Gigantic monopolies," said he, are be-
ing organized daily-such, for instance,
as the Standard Oil company, that for
bids the refining of oil except by its own
special process. Look at the combination
of the railroads. II the time should ever
come when president of the United
States should favor few, or all. of these
forms of monopoly, it would only require
five pockets to put every mans interest
in" Referring to the labor troubles, Mr..
Beecher said that men cannot be trodden
down like grass. They are worth more
than money, individually and collective
~. "The brewers he said, "laughed
behind the breastworks of their combin.
ed power, but there comes retaliation
upon them by boycotting.' These labor
strikes are working great benefit to all
classes Of workingmen. The working.
men have begun to realize the study oi
political economy.

RumoaED CABINET CHANGE.

Inter Ocean.
Washington, June 27.-A crisis has in
deed been reached in the cabinet, or,
rather, in the case of the attorney gene
raj. There has been storm gathering
for some time. and complaints have been
poured into the ears of the president un-
til he has, unwillingly been advised to
consider the advisability of change.
It Is understood that Secretary Blaine
has been convinced that, from political
standpoint, the selection was not the
best that could have been made, and he
openly advocated a change. The presi-
dent is understood to hesitate to proceed
to extremities in the matter for fear it
might be interpreted by the people as an
evidence that he was not in favor of
pushing the star route investigation. A
friend Of the president said today that
were it not for this he would not hesitate
any longer. 1t is urged upon him, how
ever, that the clamor, if any, upon this
account. would be but transitory, be-
cause he could put a man In the position
OF such character as the public would
accept as guarantee of the most vigor.

and Wednesday it will be possible, in ali
probability, to announce the definite re-
suit. Mr.. Macvcagh was away all last
week, and was to be back tomorrow. Il
was announced tonight, however, that
he will not return till Saturday. It is
said that he has been informed that the
president is considering the propriety Of
asking him for his resignation, and is
staying away until the matter can be
settled. Secretary Lincoln and Mr..
James are especially his friends, and
even they will not offer to interpose if
the president should decide upon q
change. It is believed that, in case his
resignation is asked for, William e..
Chandler will be offered the position. In
the meantime all is expectation in official
circles, and the events of the next two
days will be watched with curiosity.

DALLAS, November 26.--The Indications

terially reduced below an average by the
dry weather during the summer, but the
planters and farmers have not suffered us

cred. Expenses have been lighter, and the
prices have been better, and probably when
the season closes planters will have more
ready money In their possession than in
any previous year. In addition TO this,
North Texas products of the cereals is a
great source Of revenue, which become
available at time when money Is most
needed in the South. II is true our corn
crop this year is greatly under an average,
but the price is more than double that OF
last year. The oat crop, the largest ever
produced, is bringing fully one hundred per
cent, above last years quotations, while the
prices of wheat, rye and barley are more
than remunerative TO the producer. From
this view of the situation In
North Texas there is no cause to predict
