The labor market on the Pacific coast
is at the lowest condition. Thousands
of young men are roaming along the
coast from Washington Territory to
Southern California, yainly searching
for employment in the various occupa-
lions 70 which they have been accus-
toned. They realize now, what they
should have known before, that it re-
quires some money to start a paying
business anywhere, and especially in
that section, and that they were unwise
in going SO far away from home with
out money OF a definite purpose for
which ample information is necessary
to success.

Col. Robert Ingersoll drew immense
audiences to his recent lectures in st.
Paul and Minneapolis, and his receipts
wers several thousand dollars, a sum
more than sufficient to pay all the ex-
penses Of himself and family on their
trip to the Pacific -coast-earned in
about three hours. Few theatrical or
operate stars of the first magnitude,
when attended by large and expensive
companies, can hope to more than equal
the amount for each performance. that
taken by Ingersoll for one lecture.
No lecturer in this country, not even
Beecher in his prime, can attract
such audiences as Ingersoll. OF the
MISTER Of his lectures it is unnecessary
to speak in this connection. for there is
i wide divergence Of opinion.

Business Morality.

Does it ever occur to the critics of the
manner in which the business of the
Government is conducted that the Gov
eminent standards are "a good sdeal
higher than those of the business COM
munityp Do they stop to think how
very rare in these days is any defalca-
ton OF peculation- or dishonesty i'll n
Government official, while thefts are of
daily occurrence in banks, business
houses and positions of trust in private
life? The Government scarcely ever
loses any money by dishonest serV-
ant We do not mean to say that the
Government is as yet entirely free from
favoritism and that there are not h0rde5
OF hungry contractors and plunderers,
and that their assaults on the Treasury
are always successfully repealed. But
in the Government Offices pecuniary
dishonesty is rare, and of the millions.
OF taxes and revenue paid by the people
almost nothing sticks to the fingers of
those who collect and handle them.
We doubt if any Government in the
world is on the whole better served in
this respect.
The reasons for this contrast between
the public and private business are two.
The public servants are more carefully
selected aud with a greater sense of re-
sponsibility, and, secondly, public
opinion holds officials up to a higher
moral standard than prevails in bus
mess circles generally. Transactions
that pass without comment daily inpri-
vate life would in Government employ

only price OF mans keeping his bust

erybody knows that they are directly
responsible for the swindles, the thefts,
the daily ruin of men who are in nosi-
tons where they handle money. The
trouble is that We have ceased to call
stealing stealing, and dishonesty dis
honesty. Merchants, grocers and deal
ers OF all sorts will candidly confess
that they could not get on without mis-
representation. And when there is this
state OF things all through the country,
great swindles and defalcations are to
be expected. We all agree that BURG
larry of bank is an awful crime. bnt
when a bank President gradually alb
stracts the funds of the bank we do not
class him with burglars, We have a

when We use them now we mean some

many shades off from honest dealing.
