Editor Labor Enquirer.
SAN Francisco, May Is. have no.
ticed on several occasions that in order
to impress some idea on the public mind,
it is necessary to illustrate the expressed
idea.
There are common expressions here
/ Nobody works for nothing" and "No-
body gets anything for nothing" I am
going to illustrate that there is not one
man in this country, who "has ever
worked for anything"
If we take off lis days of the 1855, one
year, for Sundays, holidays and other
occasions, as sickness of the laboring
person or in his or her family, only $50
days aie left for work. Suppose the av-
erage working person to have family of
two heads and the average wages to be
So, more than 81 day could not be
saved. This would make $3.50 per
annum. Suppose that person to live
1000 years, with a steady job and the
regular saving, he or she would have
saved 1000 times $3.50, or 81 100000.
On account OF laborers working ten to
sixteen hours day. when three would
be sufficient, if all would work, those
who toll cannot have steady jobs lest a
million times greater overproduction
would occur. Hence, the average length
of time for steady jobs should be taken
at ten years Tin fact it is less), for 400
steady laborers in order to saYe 81 ,00O,-
900, $500 each.
Now, if Vanderbilt alone owns $780,
100000, or the savings Of 10000 1aborers,
and if the money-wealth of those IN this
country who have more than $2,500
should be summed up and diyid3 by
250-the number of millions Vanderbilt
owns--we could find, say no more than
1000, each having the wealth equal to
that of Vanderbilt. In other words, we
would find sum of $250,OO0, 100000,
which, divided by $500, one laborer's
savings, gives the number of laborers
whose savings the wealthy persons got
possession of. The number is 100, ,000, 900,
or twice as much as the population of
this country, or the savings of two gen.
erations during their whole life.
Two generations, each of 5O,000,O0O,
haye been the slaves of 1000 Wander
bilts 100000 900 of people have toiled
for the benefit of 1,OOOl And still they
have claimed for themselves to have
heen Free men!
Will out tenemies m eet US on these
figures? Will they find fault in taking
the average length of time for steady
work to be ten years? AS for myself,
I will allow them twenty yers but will
they then find less than one generation
always toiling for only one fifty-thou
sandth part of the population? And as
we can never have more than one gen.
Grafton at time, none of us would ever
be able to work Cor ourselves to all
eternity. 49,.
And thus it will be if the present sys-
tenn is not overthrown.
Fellow-citizens, you have the right to
give, away the product of your labor, if
you will, but by what right are you
maintaining such system as that will
compel your children to do the same
no matter whether they will want it or
not :? .-4 p.
If you are wise enough as to desire to
free not only your children, but also
yourselves work for it along with us

The News hypocritically claims that
it would support the Rio Grande men if
they had just cause but in the same
issue it takes occasion to speak in its
customary tone of the defeat of the
Chicago rolling mill men, the particulars
of whose cause they know absolutely
nothing of. The cloven foot shows itself
at every opportunity.

VICTOR HUGO.

1t is reported by cable that Victor
Hugo is dying from congestion of the
lungs. This will be sad news to millions
of people. Wherever there Is civlliza-
ton the name of the great Frenchman
Is familiar, and it is associated with the
tenderest thoughts. A vigorous and
lifelong friend Of the common people,
the grand old Frenchman has won for
himself place in the memories of the
poor of all lands. not given to another
man of his times. All through fevered
life, which has been longer than the ay-
erage span. he has been true to the
principles he avowed in youth, and his
labors and sacrifices in the cause of hu-
man liberty had won for him a monu-
merit grsnder than all the wealth Of the
earth could purchase. -. = !
May his last moments be peaceful, and
may the future prove that his struggles
for humanity were not made in vain.

a Brutal Murder.

\ young man, named Dusas,
about 10 years OF age, was Shot
and Instantly killed last Saturday
evening in the Cypremort prairie,
st. Mary parish, about eight miles
above the town of Franklin, by
Joseph Hughes, IL cattle drOver.
1t appears from the evidence b..
fore the cOrOncr'S jury that Dugas,
with Il younger brother, was driv-
ing "a wagon Oh the public road
and was met or Overtaken bJ
Hughes and others driving cattle.
Hughes asked Dugas for Il drink
of water and Dugas replied that
he had none. Hughes then drew
a pistol aud fred a shot in the air,
and then brought the pistol down
and shot Dugas through the
body, killing him instantly. The
lad who was. with Dugas jumped
from the wagon and ran into the
cane, and was shot ut when getting
over the, fence by some one, he
was unable to say whom. The
mule and wagon, with the dead
body, went on and stopped at the
residence of Dugas. MI. Vincent,
the stepfathcr Of Dugas, upon
being told of the occurrence pro.
cured shotgun and followed
Hughes shot at him, and as Hugh.
es fell from his horse upon the
discharge Of the gun supposed he
had killed him and returned to
the house. Hughes arose uuhurt,
and was making off when the
ncigbors arrested and held him
until the arrival Of the Sheriff,
who took him to Franklin and
lodged him in Jail. 1t is supposed
! that Hughes Was drunk at the
timc,-4ake Charles Echo.

DAVID AREN'T.

The New York Sun, Of Goth ult,
copies Senator kustis' paper on
the Presidents policy, and says of
it edit0rially: "There has eel 50
much misrepresentation respecting
the attitude of Senator Eustis, of
Louisiana, toward the President
that the authentic expression OF his
views and purposes has become a
matter Of general interest. We
coy accordingly from the Last mum
Der If the North American Repie,c
the very moderate aud jud,cious
statement which he has put forth.
Like the vast majority Of Dem.
ocrats, Mr.. Eustis is frankly oppos-
ell to the Civil Service system of
which Mr.. Eaton is the chief rep.
resentative. and he sets forth the
reason for his opposition with
clearness and dignity, AS Dem
ocrat he advocated the election Of
Mr.. Cleveland, expecting that it
would produce a Democratic VIC
tory, and he is disappointed, yet he
does not propose any factious Oh.
position to the President. Ho
thinks that Mr.. Cleveland has been
led into Z serious error in attempt-
ing to commit the Democratic
party to 4 measure for which the
party is not prepared, and as to
which there is no reason to believe
that = majority approve of it. He
sees THAR there is a conflict, and he
expresses the hope that it may
not become embittered SO as to
imperil the beneficent ascendancy
of the Democracy. We join heart
u with Mr.. Eqstis in this wish

were superior to those shown at La
peer, Emmett, Romeo and about
equal to the Armada fair. The ex-
hibits in fruits and vegetables were
so large this year that the managers
are making preparations for the
erection of a new floral hall, the
present one to be used for fruits,
vegetables and grain. There was
some competition for the special
prize of an eight day clock offered
by Dit Walker & Go. to the one
making the greatest number of en-
tries. Geo. w. Cottington, of Ber-
lin, took the prize with 10 entries.
The display in fancy work was ex.
cellent. A show case containing an.
tiquated articles was the centre of
attraction in one department of the
floral hall. 1t contained a watch and
a pair of spectacles over 200 years
old, and some paper money used in
the time of the Revolution. The
greater number OF the old officers
were elected for the ensuing year.
