THE new Constitution of California
was submitted to the people for adOp-

Prohibition majority over Instrumentation
Of more than 10000 votes cast at
that election only the insignificant
handful of 883 were cast in favor of
Chinese immigration into that State.
Such are the views and feelings of the
whole mass of the people of California,
irrespective of party, after thirty years
trial of the benefits of Chinese civiliza-

Where Are the Yankee Girls?

In one of the latest bulletins OF the
Census Bureau Mr.. Edward Atkinson
says. in an article on the specific
cotton manufacturer OF the country:
II fnd, by comparison of the
actual accounts of leading factories
which have been. submitted to nae,
that in the period which hRs elapsed
since 1910, when nearly all the
operatives OF New England we're
OF American birth-mostIy daughters
of iarmers-the following changes
have occurred:-Mogt of the operas
tives are now of foreign birth, notably
French Canadians, who form a thrifty
and progressive element of our p0pul-
alton as the children become educat~
ed in the schools" In connection
with this same subject Mr. atkinson
remarks that the mills are now better
lighted and ventilated than ever be-
fore, the hours of labor less and
the condition of the works lees
arduous."
The disappearance OF the young
WN-A~SD va NOH AuSidHI HUN eG6
cotton factories is curious economic
fact. Frenoh-Oanadiap girls have
taken their places; but where are the
Yankee girls? Evidently they have
sought. and successfully, higher
and a more remuperatlve field Of
labor. In the last twenty years
Thousands OF new industries have
sprung up, demanding high degree
of intelligence and skill. The Yankee
girl evidently has ''evoluted" into
these new departments OF industry,
leaving to the Frsnch-Canadian girl
E monopoly OF the field they formerly
occupied. Mr.. atkinson pGilosophi-
caily observes: Each decade offers
It's own problem and each generation
shapes It's own condition; therefore,
unless he who considers statistics can
observe what is re corded between the
lines. although unRritten, be may

a teacher OF mankind, filled her life.
She never sEerved from her sacrifice
fer one instant, even through the
long. dreary, solitary years at
Craiaeppustock, the bleak Scotch
hills stretching in monotonous
bsrrennsss on sltsidss, her purpose
never falteree. Sne was his cook,
his servant, doing the most mental
things for him, while far from being
companion, she only saw him few
moments in his dressing-room. 10

wears, for he could only compose in
solitude. He chose to take his exersi.e
alone. and his nervousness compelled
him 10 occupy q room far apart
from the domestic doing OF the 30 sc
hold.
She made it possible for him o
fulfill bis great mission, by freeing
him from many cares, but that did
not keep her from speaking OF the
travail mat accompanied the produce
ton of his work in her witty way at
times. for during the composition Of
his Life OF Frederick the Great she
called it ''lbe Valley of the Shadow
OF Frederick.
So Carlyle's work was nourished on
the lite blood of this woman, who
faithfully ahd unswervingly fulfilled
her duty as a wife with but little love
or sympathy to encourage her.
She lived to see Irving almost de-
prived of reason, die 10 the fullness OF
life, leaving his great work marred
by the superstition of an almost isane
man.
"Had married Irving" she said,
''the1e would have been no visions,
no Gilt of Tongues.
Womanlike she never forgave
Irving's vile and always spoke of
her slightingly.
The unutterRb!e selfshness of
Carlyle was manifest to the last.
During her failing health the physi-
clan advised carriage rides, but he
was too busy for a long time to
purchase her a vehicle, a piece of
neglect almost brutal for she was
failing fast. She died in this same
carriage one morning in the Park.
Her little pet dog had followed her.
and seeing it in danger, she stopped
her carriage to rescue it. The driver
laid the little wounded creature be-
side her, and continued his drive. |
When he reached home he found her
dead in the vehicle.
1t was only after her death that the |
springs of Oarlyle's heart seemed to
open. and he saw things in different
light. He fully realized her many |
sacrifices for him, and he bemoaned |
her with the tenderness he had
denied her all her life.
AS Osrlyls's companion, treated as
3 loved sympsthizer, her self-denial
would no longer have been sacrifice,
it would have been q loving pleasure,
His nature did not admit such state
Of affairs, the love that might have
into beauty was nipped
in the bud and no one who reads
Froude's life of Carlyle can render
any other verdict than that it was
loveless union.

President w. Holland occupying the chair,
when the action of the late treasurer in not

CopeIapd's Announcement

In tO-day's issue will be found Mr.. Cope
mayor. The LIGHT has advocated 4 change in
our city administration. Mr.. Copeland does
not exactly fill the bill He has been mem
beer of the present city administration, as alder
man, for the past year, and we have failed to
see one single proposition from Mr.. c. looking
TO Il reform in the policy or methods of the
present administration. He has had ample
time to have formulated some plan of city i'm
pr"vcments, supplemented with Il financial
plan, that would have furnished him Il sub
stantial platform to stand on, instead
of Offering mere promises to the public
now. He has had ample time TO have
recorded his position i'll regard to the enforce
ment OF the ordinances, especially on the
gambling nuisance, of which ne is personally
well aware, that would have made his position
much clearer than his qualified promise to en-
force the ordinances if elected.
Copeland means well but he has failed to
make Il record as alderman that hIstifies the
people in voting for him as an Improvement
on French.
Now we will give Mr.. Copeland a far hear
ing. Our position is well defined-we want
change: we will not support any man who has
not the courage to come out boldly in OppO-
sitiOn to the gambling nuisance, and who can
not only say that he favOrs public improve
mcnts but tell what kind of public improve
mcnts and how the money is to be obtained
to make them. We have no personal feeling
to crafty i'm this contest.

WHAT ARE THEY DOING HERE
May he the Railroads Have Designs on tho
State Legislature.
Thor Managers Slip Into the City and Out
With An Air of NJ stsry

Some significance is attached to the cOngre-
eating Of SO many railroad high officials in this
city. First came PIERCE, the president of the
Galveston, Harrisburg and San Antonio rail
way, with Croker and Buttercld, of the
Southern Pacific Then Joe Herrin the super
intcndent of the international, quietly slipped
in and out of the city several times the while
preserving an air of mystery and leading one to
imagine that he was watching the conduct of
the Croker party. He was followed by Major
u. j. GOOch, the attorney for the international,
who arrived just in time to meet Wathen. the
manager of the Gould system in Mexico. The
owner of II controlling interest i'll the Rio
Grande and PccOs, Ex-Governor Hunt, has
been here more often lately than was his want.
During one OF his visits he had quite Il
long audience with Croker and PIERCE
and it was then declared that he had
sold them his stock, but this report was subse
uucntly denied by Colonel PIERCE. Within the
past five days representatives of the New Or
leans and Texas, the Louisiana Western and
the ST. Louis and San Francisco have been
here. They conducted their business and went
away without leaving any clue to their inten-
tiOnS. In some instances they even preserved
other railroad officials. And now comes the in.
telligence that Tamage, of the iron Mountain
and Missouri Pacific will be in the city in few
days. What all this means is a mystery the
philosophers of the LIGHT have been unable to
solve. That some grand scheme is in course OF
planning Is cOnicctured, but this conjecture Is
supported by nothing more than the facts men
toned. 1t may mean nothing i'll the nature OF
railroad consolidation. but IL may be Il CONSOLE
dat ION to capture the eighteenth legislature,
san Antonio being chosen us Il base of supplies
and operation.

CHRISTMAS TIMES.
Good Times and Good Cheer tho Order of
the Day.

Nothing so well illustrates the boom of pros
pcrity that prevails in our city than the crowds
of holiday shoppers that have thrOnged our
stores jewellery shops, toy shops and fancy
stores during the past week and eliminating
with regular siege to-day and tonight.
Every access by rail has brought hundreds of
country customers, while good weather, good
goods and good crops have contributed to the
liberaty from the ten thousand'' farming
population i'll BeNar county outside our
city. For weeks the holiday trade
has been booming, and some large toy and
notion stores are longing for rest. Never in
the history of our city have our merchants
done such II holiday business. Never in the
history of our city has there been such holiday
display santa Claus will havea busy time cram
ming his gifts into pendant stockings to-mOr-
row eve; and from no quarter does there come
cry OF want. There may be misery in some
quarters, brought on by gambling and drunk
cnnesS but actual distress is nowhere to be
seen; even the professional beggar looks chip
per and fresh. But our city is growing and
growth is healthy. new year is approaching
and in the midst of our fcStivity and PROSPER
ity we should not forget to provide against
emergencies We shall need wiser, NOR,
liberal more active city government than we
now have if we would take advantage OF the
present boom.
