The passage of the Morrison bill would
have destroyed American labor and close
down all the iron furnaces in the land.
But the Morrison bill didn't pass. What in

that all the blessings the people enjoy are

RLAINErAKING COMMAND.

Advices from responsible resources show
that Mr.. BLAINE and other leading Repub-
licans are dissatisfied with the management
of the campaign by the National Repubi-
can Committee. Mr. ELErNS seems to be
the only wide awake, efficient man on the
committee, but he cannot be everywhere
and do everything at the same time. Mr..
JoNs the chairman and Mr.. FEsSESNDES
the secretary are little better than figure
heads, both being entirely unac luainted with
the detail management OF a great cam
paign.
In view of the weakness at headquarters
thus developed, Mr.. BLAINE himself has
gone to New York and will endesyor to
strsighten out things that have gone wrong
and greatly demoralized the Republican
party in that State. He is, as every one
knows. skilful political manager and cam
paigner. The success Of the Maine can
Vlss. of which he is credited with personal
direction, sufficiently attests his ability in
that line. But we apprehend that
he viii find it a much
more difficult task to bring order out Of
chaos in the Empire State. The tide their
is clearly and strongly for Governor CLEvE-
LAND. Besides the regular Democratic
vote he will receive large accession from
business Republicans, independent Repub-
Hcans and the CoSELISG stalwart RepCbi-
cans. The lowest estimate put on CLEvE-
LANDS majority BY his friends is $4,000.
Mr.. BLAINE had better abandon New
New York and rush to Ohio without delay.
Ohio to-day, stands trembling in the bal
ance, undecided which way to vote in 0cto-
Der. Mr.. BLAINE, who has always been
popular in Ohio. can BY descending to a
personal and active canvass in that State,
capture it for the Republicans at both cleo
tons. Mr.. BLAINE'T movements in Ohio
and other States, will be watched with great
interest.

The owners long ago put back in their
pockets out Of their profits more than al
they invested, and can stand whatever may
Be the result. The workers are the ones
who suffer. They are lured into the mills
in the belief that it was business at which
they would Be for all time certain Of i've
EhOOd. The years they have consumed in
learning how to work in them have been
wasted.
MANY of them must desert the business
and 90 elsewhere for bread. The same is
true of the iron and nail mills which fact
can be attested by men in our midst.
The textile industries have men and ma
chinery to produce for 100000, 600 and we
have but 100000 to buy. Has fear Of
the result of Presidential election any,
thing to do with the depression in such a
business2
Wise men do not expect the success Of the
Democratic party to give them an opPortu
nity to purchase the cheaper goods Of pau
per paid labor abroad. Those who vote FOL
the Democratic candidates do so with then
ewes wide open to the fact that the Demo
cratic platform pledges the party against
any reduction of tariff that would carry the
duties below the figures necessary to make
up the difference between wages here and
wages abroad.
In addition to over-prOduction, the exceS
sive cost of raw materials made excessive
BY an exorbitant tariff, the collection o.
more than 800, 0OO, OO9 of taxes annually
more than are needed for the support Of the
government, the maintenance in the treas
urY of an enormous surplus that should bt
circulating in business channels, and wide
spread lack of confidence because Of dis
honesty in official circles and consequent
dishonesty in banking circles and othel
places of private trust contribute to thu
hard times we are now experiencing.
To cure these evils a Democratic victory
is essential and the growing belief tha
there is to be such victory will have thu
effect of reyiying trade and business instead
of depressing it.

SCIENCE has no limits. Expert.
ments conducted for several years
under the auspices of John Hopkins
university have proved that the arti-
fetal cultivation of oysters is practi-
cable beyond question. The Euro
pean oyster increase theory was long
accepted in America as the true and
only one, In the Northern European
oyster the eggs are Matched inside the
parent shell and protected until they
are able to fasten and take care of
themselves. 1t seems this is not the
oyster breeding habit in more south
ern ATTITUDES. The university students
of the American oyster in the regions
round about Maryland find that infer
tilted oyster eggs are thrown out into
the water, where they are fertilized
and developed without the need of
protection till they grow a she'll Of
their own. Thus it becomes possible
to cultivate oysters in unlimited num-
bers and the oyster raising industry
is about to begin. The university
experiments have been tried on oys-
tiers in southern Europe with the same
promising results. This new industry
comes in good time as the old oyster
beds, kept up by the planting method,
are rapidly wearing out. The new oys-
ter culture can supply any demand.

I.ong-AgO Dweliers on the Pacific.

All over the Pacific coast are TO be
found indelible traces of long-for-
gotten and prehistoric race. While the
Investigation has been of but compare
atively recent date, still enough has
been discovered to show that an almost
limitless field has been so far only dip
ped into in a few places most easy OF
success to the explorer As yet these
researches have been confined almost
altogether to the immediate coast OF
Southern California and to the cluster
of islands lying short distance there
from.
These islands-Santa Rosa, Santa
Cruz, Anacata, San Miguel and San
Nicolas are now almost or
quite uninhabited, and are only used rs
ranges for sheep and half-wild cattle
and hogs, are known to have beer
densely populated in long ages past, as
is shown by extensive remains in the
shape of burial places and debris OF
former habitations. The exploration
of these isolated spots has been con-
fined almost exclusively to the agents
of foreign societies, and large quanti-
ties of the most interesting relies have
been exhumed and shipped to foreign
colleges and museums at different
times during the last decade. One OF
the largest of these islands, Santa
Cruz some thirty miles off the coast OF
Santa Barbara, is as yet comparatively
UNEMPLOYED, though it is known to
abound with numerous traces OF
former race.
The scenery of this island is most
beautiful, and although bearing evil
dence of having been inhabited in
ages past, still it presents many traces
of being younger than the neighbor
inc mainland, having been probably
thrust up from the sea by some con-
vulsion of nature long after the forma-
ton of the wild and desolate looking
mountain chain which here approaches
close TO the shore of the California
coast.
Another of these islands, San Nico-
las, some seventy miles off shore, has
been rendered famous by having been
the solitary home of woman who.
having been accidentally abandoned
thereon, existed on such miserable sus-
tenance as was afforded by shell fish
and wild roots for upward Of eighteen
years, and until rescued by sealing
party in the early days of the Ameri-
can occupation Of the coast. 60 san

Hancock Defeated.

When Hancock was stationed in
this city in S5S-6l, as quartermaster
of the southern district of California, he
was an athlete OF no small prctensions.
Among the animals used for transport
tatiOn, and over which he had charge,
were number of camels, some of
which were the pOssessors OF vicious
tempers. One, a large buck, was a
continual source OF trouble, and he gen
orally made it lively for the unlucky in
dividual who had occasion to 90 within
the Enclosure in which he was confined.
On one occasion Hancock went into the
corral on some matter OF business, but
as soon as the old camel saw him he
started on the dead run for his unlucky
victim. The man who has since be-
come famous on many hard-fought
battle ground did not quail from the at
tack of his formidable antagonist, and
soon Grmco-Roman wrestling match
of the most approved style was taking
place, that would cause even the re-
doubtable Muldoon to pale with envy.

DRESSES FOR SCHOOL GIRLS.

One of the most gratifying signs Of
progress is the general awakening in
regard to school dress. 1t has hercto-
fore been considered enough to dis
courage lavish display of jewelry;
but girl could be thinly clad in cold
weather; she could change from thick
wooden to thin silk; she could encase
her arms in skin tight sleeves, and pull
her dresses together within a quarter
of an inch Of her life, and no one
thought of protesting against her
folly. But gymnastics in schools have
accomplished something; they have es-
tablished the fact that with ordinary
dress the girl cannot raise or use her
arms. and it has al length dawned up
on teachers and intelligent mothers
that she ought to be able to use them
elsewhere than in the gymnasium The
